Well someone’s settling in nicely. Though Magnus thinks the zombies were an unnecessary element. What I like about these tiny books is that they actually have the full story printed in them. I would love to find more, though. Authors like Jules Verne or Matthiew Reilly would be nice.
I was over here pitter pattering all on my lonesome, which is to say scrolling YouTube to keep growing my Watch Later list knowing damn well that the next time I’m bored I’m gonna go to any other site, an then it hit me, and then while writing this post it left, the original idea was “what if I got Tomodachi Life and made all the primarchs from 40K” then I was thinking “no that’s probably already done” AND THEN I started thinking about why I gave a shit. Why did that at all matter. I could even come up with some headcanoned looks for my exalted sorcerers, what going on under the helmet. And then I remembered I don’t have money, or my own switch. But that exalted sorcerer idea still stands.
The Silent War M41: The Age of Burning A cloud of particulate dust falls over the heavily fortified spire of the Silent Sisterhood on Gassima. It is soon followed by a more destructive storm as suits of armour bearing the sigil of the Blades of Magnus fall from the sky like meteors, smashing through vaulted ceilings and cratering the courtyards, As the Silent Sisters reel from the bombardment, sheets of lightning crack through the atmosphere and the dust cloud coalesces around the lifeless suits of armour. The dust - which is in fact the essence of Thousand Sons warriors - pours into the armour, and one by one the rubricae stand up and raise their weapons. The spire is obliterated in the battle, and every Silent Sister slaughtered, though even faced with death not one allows herself to scream. - Codex: Thousand Sons (8th Edition, image Ahmokhat the Cruel of the Third Order of Blades ) Blades of Magnus The Blades of Magnus were the first of Prospero’s sorcerers to devote themselves wholly to their primarch’s salvation, working in secret to break the bonds between the Crimson King and the eldritch powers he had embraced. The Blades adopted the colours of Magnus’ royal court, the Rehati, but wore them in reverse to demonstrate their intent to save Magnus despite himself. For long years they toiled in secret, slaying those daemons with which Magnus had made his devil’s bargains. When the daemon-primarch learned of their works, he did not reward them, but annihilated their minds with an overwhelming psychic blast. Now they are some of his most loyal thralls, each but a vessel for Magnus’ will. The One Who Was Nytep is inhabited by a portion of Magnus’ mind that seeks enlightenment from death. The One Who Was Daor Haak is a vessel for the part of Magnus that seeks wisdom from the heavens. The flames that adorn The One Who Was Laorath echo the pyromaniacal part of Magnus that lies within. The One Who Was Tarutap is part of a composite mind, his squad animated by the fires of bitterness. The One Who Was Throsis is said never to miss, for he bears the all-seeing eye of Magnus. The rubricae known as the Ones Who Stood Resolute were formerly the loyal guards of Magnus’ tower on Prospero. Their stoicism in life has been replaced by the predictability of the automaton - those who approach Magnus with the intent to harm him will find squad after squad of these killers converging fire upon them. - War Zone Fenris: Wrath of Magnus (7th Edition)
Sanakht in 40k armor (based on his official HH art and the 40k sorcerer models) !! If you want to read my medium length ramble about his character + neurological disability representation, see below :] I really, really love how Sanakht is portrayed in John French’s Ahriman series because he really makes a point to emphasize that the damage done to Sanakht’s psychic abilities is a disability, and one that has a profound effect on how he relates to other psykers and his self image. It’s really cool to see invisible disability rep in 40k. I also think that the way psykers and psychic abilities are portrayed in 40k in general is incredibly comparable to neurological and neurodevelopmental disabilities. Obviously, some characters benefit a LOT from the genetic difference that allows them to use sorcery, but there’s still very clear drawbacks and the ever-looming danger of the warp — parallel in some ways to some symptoms of ADHD, for example. And for others, being a psyker is purely detrimental (and I’m not even talking about what the Imperium does with psykers). The Tithes shows a child psyker suffering debilitatingly painful headaches due to, effectively, psychic feedback. Darktide’s seer psyker (which I will talk about more at some point. smiles) struggles to discern dreams and psychic whisperings from reality. Hallucination, derealization, delirium, and vertigo are just some of the symptoms of neurological disorders that psykers are commonly depicted dealing with. This is mostly me projecting as a disabled person with narcolepsy and ADHD, so take everything I’ve said with a grain of salt. :]
Friend | Betrayal | Dust showing up to @ossmodula ’s OC weekend an entire week late with Macarius, rubric angst, and more survivor’s guilt than by any right should fit in one man Macarius does not visit Sortiarius often. Only when his Primarch calls does he come to the Planet of the Sorcerers, and never for longer than necessary. It is not a dislike of the planet that keeps him away, though it is true that Sortiarius would never be home to the Thousand Sons in the way that Prospero had been, even to the Terra-born like him. No, it is Magnus himself, his Primarch, his father, in whose presence he cannot linger, under whose gaze the weight of his ancient guilt seems to grow heavier until he feels like he will choke on it. He does not deserve to be here, in his father’s favour still after the favoured son’s exile. Not when he has betrayed his Primarch as much as Ahriman did, not when the blame for the ruin that had befallen them rests on his shoulders as much as those of his wayward brother. Not when he had failed to dissuade his brother from this ruinous path. Not when he had failed to warn Magnus, hoping until the last that Ahriman would come to see sense. Once he had thought to join Ahriman in his exile. It had seemed to him a fitting penance, no more than he deserved for failing his father and brothers, but loyalty to Magnus had prevailed, and Macarius had instead set out on a different kind of penance. Now he roams the stars with those of his brothers still loyal to him, to find humanity’s most gifted and ferry them to the realm of Magnus, liberating psykers from the Imperium’s persecution to bring them as tribute to his father. And if the scintillating dust of Sortiarius’ ever-shifting plains reminds him a little too much of what remains of his brothers and the planet’s empyric fields make the warp-fire under his skin burn brighter than ever, he will bear it, as he bears his guilt, in service of the Crimson King.

Want me to convince you that Prospero deserved to burn with one sentence? We canonically have a Thousand Son who’s a massive weeaboo: > He shook his head. ‘These are not robots.’ Yokai. Ahriman recognised the sigil as a word form belonging to a long-vanished empire of Old Earth, a mythical creature of some kind, but its deeper meaning eluded him. > Atharva would have known. His abrasive Corvidae brother had been fascinated by the legends of the Dragon Nations. He would have told them everything there was to know of the yokai: etymological analysis of the name, folk tales and all manner of esoteric trivia. But Atharva had left the Legion decades ago to join the Crusader Host and was almost certainly incarcerated somewhere on Terra. > Stone dragons stood watch at either end of its eaves, and once again Ahriman wished he’d shared Atharva’s enthusiasms for the cultures of Old Earth. Excerpts from The Crimson King Thank God Ahriman doesn’t like anime 🙏 (doesn’t save him from a hentai-esque scene with tentacles in another book lmao). He’s already sort of a loser, liking anime on top of all else would be an overkill.
