Guardsman 40k - Tumblr Posts

Titus (and ‘Junter’) my beloved darling-

Fun face Galileo is a sucker for his very nervous new son-

May the emperor bless the fool who dares to try and harm Titus on Galileo’s watch-

That didn’t take long—

Just some Silly doodles below cut

:3 🫶

See?! Told you everything would be okay :), just showing off the new friend!

Lil B likes em a lot so sludge guesses he’s okay

Some doodles below the cut!

Sludge being them nasty selves :3 (don’t mind the little noise marine they’re for later-)

Seems solid to me

At least the guardsman are having fun :)

( previously | Next [Wip] )

They are silly boys :)

They’re like brothers 🥰 bc I said so

Papa holds them when they’re sleepy

Huh? A preferred dynamic? Character creation style?! I hardly know her—

do you have any lore for your guardsmen plsplspls whats their dynamics like

Glad you asked Anon! I do :)

So my silly boys (their full size/non chibi designs can be found here) are still kind of in a developmental stage really but I do have some set in stone stuff

For the most part all three are pretty young recruits and really haven’t seen enough action to be jaded and chiseled as some so they’ve still got some whimsy left in them— this aided by the fact that they typically spend more time cooped up with the machine cult worshippers due to the magos Domnius deciding these silly humans need to be with him and his skits (ya won’t catch them complaining—) means they’re pretty comfy for being guardsman

My current idea with them really is that they have come from various regiments, at least Starr did, and were brought together by their kidnapping surprise adoption by the Magos. Enos is probably the freshest to the ranks of the imperium with a bit more hope in his eyes and a zest for life, while Starr I’d say has probably been a guardsman for the longest. I wouldn’t say Starr is all jaded and sad like say Galileo or storvis, but they’ve definitely been exposed more to the ‘guardsman the lowest rank in the hierarchy’ ideals and kind of knows their place is already set when higher ranking officials arrive.

Upon finding themselves “reassigned” to the magos they quickly grew close to one another and formed a bery quick brotherly bond :)

On the more tactical side, I’d say (which might eventually reflect in their designs who knows-) Starr is/was(?) a weapons specialist for his company, while Luther served as a vox-Operator and Enos served as a just really average run of the mill trooper

I will say not too much has been set in stone for them as with a lot of my ocs they’re kind of constantly shaping in my head especially as I take more lore in from warhammer itself :)!

More of their dynamic side is definitely aforementioned a very brotherly one

They have sort of roles they fall into but tend to hop between them a lot

Like Starr tends to be the collected level headed older brother but this role can also be filled by Lute (they’re all about the same age with maybe a year difference between Starr and Enos so ‘older brother’ ‘younger brother’ ect. Tends to just be a personality reference more then an age thing)

Lute often fills ‘mischievous but well meaning middle brother’ but again sometimes you’ll see Enos in this behavior pattern

Enos typically being the skittish youngest sibling who is trying to figure out the world

But yeah, it mostly cuts down to their deeper personalities

Lute resents his place as ‘lowest member of the food chain’ as many dismiss him as a meat shield before a word in edge wise can even be gained. And it’s frustrating for him especially as he does a very important job as a Vox operator, certain commands wouldn’t be able to go through without him!

Starr similarly resents these ideals, they’re a well oiled machine not some barbaric system of dog eat dog! Even if they might be just that— but he’d never do anything about it. He finds it’s just better for everyone if he puts his head down and avoids conflict over something as trivial as that. He knows he’s important and that’s all that matters to him

While Enos is mostly oblivious to such ideas, he can kind of sense and I mean obviously see he’s different in rank to say a general or a commissar, but he doesn’t see why they’d get preferential treatment over that rank! Save for probably some things but hey! The imperium cares for its most important, the glue that keeps the imperium going!!

So over all they help even one another out, Starr can take over in terms when it comes with dealing with the tar pit of a bureaucracy the imperium can be, Lute is there to act as some healthy (and very VERY light) rebellion, while Enos can keep some youthful wonder about the trio

And again, they’re all very diluted versions of these ideals due to just how the imperium works (as I understand it—) in general.

You can’t really be a full blown rebel bc that means your a heretic and you get kablowied all over the wall, so the most rebellious tendencies you’ll get from Luther is him whining about it later and what have you.

Ya can’t really hold your eyes too wide with whimsy and joy lest the dust of the town you just watched get obliterated get in your eyes

And just gotta accept your blissful ignorance sometimes and fall into line with the rest

But all and all that’s pretty much it for what I have on them and tbh some of it is very likely to change but we shall see lol

Thank you for the ask!!

Do we wanna see some random ocs? I think we wanna see some random ocs—

Blud&Gutz - guardsman; real name is Varymer; Yes the nickname does have an embarrassing story :3–

One day on corpse clean up his fellow company members wanted to play a prank, one thing led to another and autopilot was suddenly disrupted as he was Carrie style covered in well blood and guts

In the 41st millennium we have kickass top surgery scars 🥰

Boltr - also guardsmen! ; real name is Antonius; what can I say it was an exercise in fun military nickname Inspo—

Boltr was relaxing between assignments with some company-men, chatting and relaxing, when the topic of space marines comes up. Somehow the topic slides over to well, Bolters. Bringing up the size of the weaponry and how he could definitely handle a bolter. fr guys!! source? Uh- trust UwU. Wdym? Nah it wouldn’t be that heavy!

Oh? Uh- he’s standing right behind me ain’t he? A marine decided Boltr needs to put his money where his mouth is? Sure yeah- he can- he can do that! He then gets (lightly) crushed by the bolter-

Final boy this time around

Aubren Wintergard - ik it says lord general militant on the page- ignore this. He is an inquisitor and I was dumb-; missing some limbs but he’s fine- tis but a scratch-; actually has some presence to my main ocs!! He’s an inquisitor whom reported the death of Gali’s family :)! Yaaayyy!!!! Look at him go (definitely no corruption and desire for political gain here. Nope none-) also think he might have some ties to storvis but idk what yet

Its like focus group testing but for me ocs teehee

Canid-coded skitarii…….is this anything?

• Plates rattle when upset

• traditional robes distract/obstruct their movement-

‘Why do you look like a canid? Some kinda-‘

*loud crunching noises* ‘Bite force :3’

Their name is C4n1d btw :3

Boo jumpscare!!! Art time >:)

Boltr returns and this time he has a blood angel friend!!!!

Their story is essentially beloved blood angel Azriel kind of scared the shit out of a bunch of people when the red thirst struck him and he kind of killed a bunch of people but!!! It’s okay :), Boltr is trying to help the fella out! Helping him learn how to be a bit more approachable (well, as approachable as a 7ft brick house armed to the teeth super human can be anyway—) and in return he gets a cool bodyguard and friend!!

Teaching

Look he’s practicing!!!

He fluffs up like an angry bird btw when he is mad/aggressive—

( X )

Were you referring to Azriel? Probably. But Boltr is glad to have an ego boost

I request art of whichever commissar is oldest doing the griddy in front of his guardsmen but he hurts his back and dies on the battlefield

A good request! Storvis probably takes the cake as oldest of my commissar’s at about 87 I wanna say? I can’t recall but he’s old as shit

Good for him he has a history of upsetting the youths

( X || Y )

Rip storvis he was a real one

I made them cats—

That’s it that’s the post-

I got really bored and am still kind of having some art block so have some of my ocs as cats

The silliest of goobers

A few random drawings I’ve done over the week thus far to fill up some post space 🥰🥰

Art block do be a bitch and I mean— if you guys still had some requests or asks or anything really my ask box isss open 👀👀👀

Ikik I still have a few unfinished requests but those are being turned into longer form content so dw I’m getting there 🤫

Who could Az have a crush on 👀??

Some angsty-lite Belath stuffs :3 tired old man

Az tore up the barracks to make a pillow fort— Hims was overstimulated

Even some doodles of my favorite two gay old men!!! (When they were a little less old-)

Don’t mind the shit ass proportions and shit here it’s hard to draw two people cuddling sniff

my love for Bolter knows no bounds

He’s very grateful!!

Just watch out for Az— he’s a little over protective

Bolter doesn’t mind but I don’t think Az is too happy about it—

Bolter got a little bit shrunk in scaling it’s fine dw

my love for Bolter knows no bounds

He’s very grateful!!

Just watch out for Az— he’s a little over protective

You’ll never guess what I was watching :3

Like the idea of making a little Iron giant au for the boys 🥰

Lore blab below the cut :3

It bears some closeness to their actually backstories, just with some slight shifts to setting and what have you

In their original story/“canon warhammer” Bolter gets paired up with Az and his battle brothers for a mission and bolter is one of the few guardsman to survive and escorted back by the marines, gaining some attachment from Az.

They bond from there and grow close and issues with Belath and his old age and blood thirst growing arise which cause Az, who was pretty comfortable with his occasional slip into blood rage with his already short tempered protective nature, to he slowly begin to question and dearest this nature

While in this ‘Iorn clad giant’ Au, Az takes on the role of the giant, crash landing and learning humanity from the young boy, Antonius (Bolter) and learning what it means to truly be human. While they try to avoid the Astra Militarum searching for the blood thirsty murder machine blood angel, obviously replacing the giants threat triggers with blood rage and what not.

It’s very fun in my brain at least lol and just some ramblings about it :3

I figured it was high time for some chaos posting sooo!!

Finally one of storvis’s guardsman can find a new line of work!

I think nurglings should get little tails…it would enhance them. A lot.

Gw pls—
