I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED

I would go bankrupt buying these as Funko Pop!s. Especially that little Lorgar who just looks so happy to be held for once in his life. 🥺

And I would absolutely need both of the twins. First-level-of-Maslow's-hierarchy level need.

ONWARDS, MY SOLDIERS!

HOLDING THE PRIMARCH + THEIR DAD IS COMPLETE!!

THANK YOU FOR THE PATIENCE, I HAD FUN!!

must have been the wind..................................

[thethronezone]

Love your primarchs and children stuff, is just perfect. But I raise you a funnier AU, primarchs finding out they are the ones expecting (lets all just excuse that the warp did it).

Mortarion - Grumbling about it all the time, mainly because he's mad about this being a magic thing that just happened to him. Lowkey afraid that the baby will be some kind of abomination or mutant (or worse, a PSYKER) and is not sure what he will do if that turns out to be the case.

Fulgrim - MOODSWINGS GALLORE. One moment he's ecstatic, eagerly looking forward to becoming a father and the next he's cursing the fetus out as nausea forces him to lay facefirst on the floor. Excited to become a parent but despises the physical side-effects of being pregnant.

Angron - Very angry because he did not choose this, it was forced upon him and Angron does not like it when things are done to his body without his permission. Grows increasingly upset when, as the pregnancy progresses, he's barred from any kind of fighting, even spars. Just wants the baby to be born already.

Magnus - Very excited about all of this. Sees it more as an experiment and an experience rather than, ya know, him becoming a parent. Diligently notes down everything that happens with his body during the pregnancy and charts the baby's progress in the womb. Sadly very unprepared about what to do when the baby actually is born.

Perturabo - He refuses to complain as he sees it as beneath him, but it's clear to everyone around him that he's incredibly unhappy. His unhappiness grows as he pregnancy continues and eventually starts showing. Perturabo does not want to talk about it and while he does quietly prepare for the baby's birth, he puts no emotional investment into it.

Alpharius - Which one of them is preggo? Alpharius? Omegon? Both??? Anyway, they ain't appearing in public for the rest of the pregnancy, their legion is going to have to fill in for them full time. At least until the baby is here. They keep bickering about names, apparently unable to come to an agreement for once.

Lorgar - Overjoyed and sees this as a miracle. You know those maternity dresses with open stomachs that reveal the baby bump? If Lorgar was allowed to, he would wear one but Kor Phaeron managed to convince him not to. Doesn't stop Lorgar from painting religious symbols on his stomach and reading his unborn child hymns and chants.

Horus - While he would have preferred to father a child, he is more than happy carrying one to term. Just happy to finally get the kid he's always wanted and while it admittedly feels really weird being pregnant, he looks forward to the moment of birth where he will finally become a father.

Konrad - Scares the crap out of everyone more than usual because he becomes kinda... feral? I am talking him in his old Night Haunter get-up (aka nude in a cloak), sitting in the shadows, eating god knows what (pickled onions which he suddenly started craving) and muttering cryptically. Otherwise surprisingly chill.

Sanguinius - Egg egg egg egg. While he rather quickly accepts that, yeah, this might as well happen, Sanguinius does get caught off guard by some of the... urges he experiences as the pregnancy progresses. Like building a nest? Not a nursery, an actual nest. He finds it very embarrassing when his sons stumble upon him in the middle of making one.

Corvus - EMPEROR, HE CAN'T DO IT! No, it's ok, he's fine. HE'S NOT FINE, HE'S NOT FATHER-MATERIAL. Chill, no worry, it can't be that hard. OH WHAT IS HE SAYING, HE CAN'T RAISE A CHILD! And then Corvus passes out in bed, snoring softly. Pregnancy is taking a lot out of him, poor guy.

Ferrus - Huh. Ok. This... might as well happen. Not necessarily happy about it but not that upset either. When life give you lemons... make a child? However that old Terran expression goes, Ferrus just buckles up and deals with it. At this is how he presents himself and the situation to others. Secretly a bundle of nerves and full of self-doubt but he refuses to let it show.

Rogal - Takes it all in stride. Did he expect this to happen? No. But he will adapt to the situation and continue on as normal. Well, mostly as normal. He's got to prepare for the child after all. Not just the birth but raising it as well. At the end of the week after his pregnancy reveal, Rogal has a solid plan for the first 18 years of his child's life.

Vulkan - Baby! Well, at least soon. Very excited and shares this excitement with his legion, who are also looking forward to the birth. Immediately goes to town on building a nursery and making toys for the baby, which he has all the time for since he stays out of frontline combat for the first half of his pregnancy and won't even leave Nocturne for the second half.

Lion - So moody, his hormones are a mess. Keeps snapping at both Dark Angels and serfs for the smallest things. Get's really territorial as well, fucking snarled at the serf that came to clean his quarters. Blames the baby for all of this and can't wait for it to be born already, just so things can go back to normal (completely forgetting that he's then got to RAISE it).

Leman - Fucking magic bullshit. While very unhappy with the fact that he's pregnant by magic means, Leman is more okay with the pregnancy itself. It's... weird but the baby is already developing inside him so might as well see what happens. Mostly just upset by the fact that he's not allowed to drink during his pregnancy and is not allowed to fight.

Jaghatai - Just straight up rolls with it. Is the situation unusual? Yes, but it's not bad. In fact, he quickly warms up to the idea of giving birth and becoming a father/mother. It actually seems kinda cool. Retreats from the frontlines for his pregnancy but refuses to stay in bed though. Catch him racing on his jetbike at 9 months pregnant.

Roboute - Internal panic. Immediately seeks out his adoptive parents for advice and reassurance because Guilliman knows nothing about having/raising children. Tries to distract himself by focusing on the logistics, like what the baby will need and such but it's only partially working. Ever so often he will put his pen down and just sit at the desk with his head in his hands.

Primarchs - II

A WIP of Fulgrim holding Ferrus’ head after their fight like Perseus with Medusa’s head, but not sure if i like the loose hair or the braid !!! decisions!!!

[moociaoafterdark]

First it was Konrad raised by the Drukhari...

Now it's Ferrus being infected by the Flayer Virus because of his arms being made out of living metal...

And I also entertained the idea of Leman defecting to the T'au Empire or Farsight Enclaves and bringing some of the Space Wolves with him...

... Can't forget my "Fulgrim the Deceived" AU, where Fulgrim becomes a thrall to Mephet'ran the Deceiver C'tan, instead of falling to Slaanesh.

... AND also a joke AU I am yet to post where Sanguinius says "fuck this" in relation to Imperium and joins the Votann.

... Tbh, the idea of Primarchs defecting/being tricked/forced into joining xeno factions is very interesting and slept on by the major fanbases. I get it, most Primarch fans aren't that knowledgeable on xeno lore since... they are Primarch fans and Chaos corruption is more well-known/easier to write. But... Still... For consideration...

Primarchs at the airport (because I'm at the airport and bored)

Guilliman has been here for six bours; ultimate airport dad. Is looking forward to being unreachable while in the air.

Magnus is at the book store, since he's already finished his designated Airplane Book and needs another one. Is mad at Ferrus for suggesting he get a kindle to keep up with his book-reading habits.

Leman Russ is making friends at the bar. He needs someone to talk to after he lost his third-favourite sword at security.

Konrad Curze is being held up at security, since lightning claws are not TSA-approved.

Mortarion is also stuck at security since he can't fit all his poisons into the little baggie. He's helping Konrad argue that yes, he should be allowed to bring lightning claws onto the plane.

Horus has managed to talk his way into the VIP lounge and is now enjoying a quiet moment away from his brothers.

Ferrus Manus has joined Leman at the bar after surviving Magnus' lecture on why 'real' books are better than a kindle. He's very sorry he suggested it.

Fulgrim is on step one of his incredibly complicated airplane beauty routine.

Lion is napping with one of those airplane pillows and everything.

Sanguinius is questioning how he's supposed to fit in the airplane seats. He did book an entire row so his wings wouldn't hit anyone, but now he's worrying it's not enough.

Childhood of the Primarchs, Part 2.

Now we'll look at the childhoods of other primarchs while we possibly work on Part 3 in the future.

First, let's look at Perturabo. I'm not sure if he had long hair as a child (correct me in the comments), but when he met the King of Olympia, he was a wild and dirty child. And by the way, in one of his public tantrums, he killed the king's barber because they wouldn't cut his hair. In the other, we see Vulkan taking his forbidden steps with a tiny salamander. If you're wondering who Nergüi is, it's Horus as a child. In Chthonia, the law of the fittest was enforced, and fights were common from a young age. Horus wandered around and fought with other bandits he encountered. And finally, Ferrus Manus being a bully in Medusa.

doodle i really love them so let me dream...

[thethronezone]

Dying laughing at the poor pregnant Primarchs.

Found myself wondering how they would react if it was one of their favorite sons turning out to be pregnant instead. The Warp is feeling broody.

Mortarion - Goes "That's not physically possible" when Typhon informs him that he is pregnant. It's only after he performs an examination on his own that Mortarion admits that indeed, that man is pregnant. Somehow. Doesn't really trust it since this is obviously some magic phenomenon but does make it a point to make sure that Typhon is given the proper medical attention. Other than that... Well, as long as the man doesn't give birth to some sort of abomination then Mortarion won't say anything. Gives Typhon a thumbs up of encouragement from a distance.

Fulgrim - After overcoming the initial shock or learning that Julius Kaesoron is with child, Fulgrim decides that this is actually pretty cool. Much more appreciative of the pregnant form when he's not the one experiencing it. Nothing but encouraging and sympathetic to any physical side effects (nausea, vomiting, cramps) and does make sure that Julius always has a few serfs on hand that can help alleviate these pains. By the way, has he thought of baby names? Because Fulgrim has a full list. Not that he has to use them. But he can. Fulgrim has also picked out decor for the nursery. And the nanny. And the school the kid will one day go to. Hope you don't mind!

Angron - When did Kharn get pregnant? DID HE ENTER COMBAT WHILE PREGNANT!? Angron is straight up forbidding Kharn from entering any sort of combat exercise during the entirety of the pregnancy. That includes sparring, using the gun range, fuck, nothing but the lightest yoga is permitted! Meanwhile, Kharn is just rolling his eyes ("Ok mom"), already planning on doing some weapon's training with a few neophytes right after this conversation. Angron is stressed.

Magnus - Oh Ahriman, you are so full of surprises! Now, allow Magnus to perform a full body (and soul) examination! He needs to know just how this happened! Honestly, Magnus is so intrigued by the more scientific aspect of this all that he almost completely forgets that there's, ya know, going to be an actual child coming out of this. So intrigued by this all that he might just recreate whatever caused this to happen and make himself go through it. For scientific reasons of course. Again, completely forgetting that a whole ass person is going to be born from this.

Perturabo - Kydomor Forrix tells Perturabo he's pregnant and the man has the gall to click his tongue. He then goes on a 20 minute rant about how he expects Forrix to pick up on paperwork while he's unable to work in the field and that, just because he's pregnant, he can't expect special treatment. All of this Forrix both expected and accepts. Then, three days later, he is shocked to find a beautiful, handmade cradle outside his living quarters. He makes sure to thank his Primarch for the thoughtful gift later but Perturabo just grunts in response. Nonetheless, small, handmade toys keep popping up every now and then.

Alpharius - You're pregnant? We're pregnant. While Ingo Pech might be the one carrying the child, the whole legion is going to take part raising it. Indoctrination? Yes sir. That baby is going to shouting "I am Alpharius" straight out the womb. Meanwhile, Alpharius and Omegon are supportive in their own ways, making sure Ingo is provided for during the pregnancy. Lowkey excited for it, they see it as an interesting experiment/experience.

Lorgar - Say it after me; virgin birth. When Lorgar learns that Argel Tal is pregnant, with no apparent intercourse, he attributes it to some kind of miracle/divine plan. So congrats Argel! You've just been promoted to holy figure Virgin Tal! Your duties during pregnancy includes; daily purifications, getting blessed and praying until your tongue goes numb. That baby is going to be born in god's light and there's nothing you can do to stop it!

Horus - Garviel Loken might be the one pregnant but Horus is the one that's the most excited for it. Also secretly very jealous but he hides it well and copes with it by convincing himself that the baby is at least going to be partially his since Garviel has his geneseed and blah blah blah (he's huffing copium). Very involved in the whole pregnancy, lowkey acting like it's his kid that's going to be born, and is almost acting like Garviel is just a surrogate. Will deny it though if anyone accuses him of it.

Konrad - Outright sneers. Why would you want a child? Whatever, it's Sevatar's problem, not Konrad's. At least, that's how Konrad puts it at the start of it all. But he keeps a close eye on Sevatar, snarling at whatever Night Lord that gets too close or even acts out in his proximity. And then extra rations appear on Sevatar's bed, which he's pretty sure were taken from some other Night Lord. Not that Sevatar is going to look a gift horse in the mouth. If Konrad wants to play scary fairy godmother then he ain't gonna stop him. It's only when Sevatar finds a few dead rats on his bed that he starts rethinking that decision.

Sanguinius - Watch Sanguinius channel all his anxiety for the future into Raldoron's baby. Like, this kid is going to be born into a world that will probably see it as some sort of apostle or something and Sanguinius won't be able to stop it. So, to make up for it in advance (partially to ease his guilt) he tries to make Raldoron's pregnancy as comfortable as possible. Tries to act cheerful but there's a hint of melancholy in all his actions. Still, he does look forward to the birth of the baby. Such moments are always full of joy and worth being celebrated.

Corvus - Uhm... Congrats? When Branne Nev informs Corvus that he's with child, the Primarch does not quite know how to react. But he's going to try and be supportive! Just, eh, from a distance. Almost treats Nev like he's got a contagious disease and that he'll also get pregnant if he gets too close. But in the later stages of the pregnancy, when it starts showing, Corvus sometimes get this soft, almost longing look in his eyes. He also starts leaving little trinkets for the baby that he thinks it will like.

Ferrus - Ferrus takes a long, hard look at Gabriel Santar and then sighs heavily. "No working in the forge or the lab until after the child is born". Not mad, not disappointed, just tired. But supportive! Do you like supplements, Gabriel? Because you are getting a bunch of them. Your baby is going to be born strong as fuck, don't worry. Ferrus creates a whole schedule for "optimal fetus development" which he put together with a council of fellow Iron Hands, tech priests and doctors.

Rogal - There's a lot of solemn nodding from Rogal when Sigismund is revealed to be pregnant. He then excuses himself for a few hours (much to the anxiety of poor Sigismund who is left wondering if he has angered his father) but when Rogal eventually returns he's got a 10 page document full of predictions for the pregnancy (due date, weight gain, health complications etc). Actually very involved in the pregnancy and demands regular updates on both Sigismund's and the fetus' health.

Vulkan - Straight up picks Artellus Numeon up twirls him around in a big hug. Congratulations! Oh, he's so happy for you! Vulkan is genuinely excited and immediately starts asking Artellus if he's thought of any names, if there's anything he needs, is he feeling well etc.. Oh, and yeah, he's confined to Nocturne for the entire pregnancy. Just to keep him safe! But don't worry, Artellus is still allowed to use the forge... Until his second trimester of course. Yeah, Vulkan is a bit overprotective but what can you expect? This is his first grandchild!

Lion - The look Lion gives Luther is one of disappointment, as if Luther somehow did this to himself! Then he sighs, shakes his head and just orders the man to be on desk duty for the duration of the pregnancy. At first, it seems like Lion is very disinterested, only occasionally asking if things are going well with 'it'. But then Luther finds some extra rations in his chambers. Then some pelts. A pillow? Luther quickly deduces that Lion is the one leaving him these things and while he can't outright thank him for it (Lion would never admit to it), he does mention out loud how much these things are helping him and not even Lion can hide the smug look on his face.

Leman - Ha! Hahaha! After Leman is done laughing at Bjorn for magically getting pregnant, he congratulates and reassures him that he's going to be a fantastic mother. Jokes aside, Leman gets very involved in the pregnancy. Call it pack instincts. Keeps bringing Bjorn food (too much food to be honest) and it's like he has a seventh sense for whenever Bjorn is about to chug a tankard of ale. Bjorn hasn't had a beer in 9 months and he's about to strangle Leman with his bare hands. He does appreciate all the pelts he's been given though.

Jaghatai - Summon the council of mothers! Shiban's pregnancy is a welcome surprise and Jaghatai makes sure that he has all the support that he will need. That being said, he lets women that have experienced pregnancy and motherhood take the reins on this one. What they say goes (though Jaghatai won't snitch if Shiban wants to sneak out for some jetbike rides every now and then). Also makes Shiban sit in on maternity classes in preparation. Promises to teach his kid how to ride a horse when they get old enough.

Roboute - Guilliman finally gets the real experience of being a father because Cato fucking refuses to relax for even a second, acting like a hyperactive 5-year old, and Roboute has to fucking threaten to court-martial him to get him to sit down for even just a single minute. Cato is acting like he isn't pregnant (ordering people around, running drills etc) and he sees it as punishment when his Primarch puts him on paperwork-duty for the duration of the pregnancy (no frontline combat for you sir). Secretly, Guilliman is looking forward to the baby being born since it's kinda like his pseudo-grandchild (he wants to spoil it so bad).

[shadefish]

so a year or two ago I decided to do my own set of designs for the Primarchs. I never finished it but, here are the unfinished designs I did do!
