Okay the thing about space marines is like. they are huge mammals, practically bear sized, active primates. On top of the normal caloric needs for a large animal to be active and fast for so long, their bodies are constantly bioactive- they produce corrosive salive, they're conatantly healing from horrible wounds- those proteins are expensive and that mass has to come from somewhere. And don't fucking "oh genetic engineering they're so perfect" me, you can only be SO bioeffecient, these are still modified humans, presumably you're not recreating their biomolecular structure.

They have to eat a TON right? They probably have the caloric and vitamin demands of a pregnant tiger, and there's hundreds of them on these ships. Are there spaceship cows tgey're slaughtering? Do they just guzzle gallons of reconstituted protein paste?

And I think this caloric need, if emphasized, only helps accentuate the fact that a Space Marine is only as good as his supplies, as the labor done by the citizen-slaves of the Imperium- whether their work is tithed to loyalists or raided by traitors. And the inequality is the point, the irony that these superhuman gods NEED the work of hundreds of human laborers to survive- that's so important! That's the evil of the imperium, the hypocracy of power!

Space Marines should be ravenous little fuckers. Show them eating more.

Do Necron Warriors have any semblance of sentience left in them? Are their minds simply locked behind powerful inhibitors or are they just irreparably wiped clean?

So, this is a cool question. Necron warriors are not supposed to retain anything in the way of real sentience. At all. The biotransferrence involved the effective digitisation and transition of Necrontyr consciousness onto engrams (basically fake brains) with the quality of engram and amount of personality and memory being retained coinciding with your position in society.

Nobles, Crypteks, Lychguard, Triarchs, and individuals with perceived importance or connection were usually given their full approximated suite of mental faculties and personality. Middling soldiery and servants (like Immortals) received a fittingly middling amount of engram quality. Basic soldiers, civilians and those without perceived merit were turned into warriors, their memories and personalities consumed forever.

At least, as I said above, this was the intent.

Necron engrams are one of (if not the most) advanced and complex pieces of technology in the entire setting. The complete and effective translation of the mind into data is unthinkably sophisticated, to the point that not even the Crypteks, the masters of physics and material science, fully understand how they work. It's not like the intelligence cores the Admech use, it's not like the AI the T'au construct. It is almost the synthesis and digitisation of the soul. It is properly fucking nuts.

So, are necron warriors supposed to be wiped clean? Yes, basically. Are they? Demonstrably no. Some will let out horrific screams when they're properly killed. Some will display tiny little ticks and flickers of personality or inkling. Most notably, warriors that become flayed ones have been known to target specific Necrons/people, as if holding unbound grudges or desires.

Between these events, and things like the destroyer virus and the assorted quirks and emotions that all Necrons can develop, it is abundantly clear that the full extent of the consciousness and wherewithal granted by engrams has exceeded function and intricacy beyond the comprehension of even the most gifted Crypteks.

Bit of a long answer, but I hope you found this helpful!

The guys at my local GW telling me about the time a lot of orders didn't arrive because someone literally highjacked the truck with the minis. And all I coud say was:

“That could have been me” with dreamy eyes. And they all laughed at me and said they were warning HQ about me.

But like... Imagine an entire 18wheeler full of minis 😭😩

Because @ladymirdan sent me this:

I, of course, had to make this:

Maybe I should do more and add them to my Redbubble-shop.

How about if I painted the left pauldron of my Imperial Knight in a mediaeval manuscript style?

Obviously this is still very much WIP, but I think you'll get the idea! 😄 The plan is that the second half will show a fighting scene of a knight defeating a monster in melee, but I'll need to find a good (and goofy) reference for the monster first.

Also painting in this style helps with my fear of freehanding, because even if dimensions are a bit off, I can just say that it's part of the aesthetic 😆💁

New sticker! Perfect for when you want to fight your dad.

Non serious shitpost xD After the news regarding the adeptus custodes, and that long ago I made a fanart of Kitten and Shadowsun (Alfabusa stuff) I had to make a silly thing, but much happier now. It's a silly fanart of a fan series, so if you get mad, it's on you.
