Goals For The Tabletop Space Battle Game I'm Working On

One of the key traits of my homebrew chapter is that they're fighter pilots, so whenever one of my character models fails in a memorable manner, if he doesn't have one already, he's getting a callsign (and a name if I haven't named him by then).

Currently i have:

- Techmarine Takao Mataumoto, callsign "anvil", because he got beat up by a Salamander. Said Salamander was a sergeant--not even a character model, but just a regular guy.

- Captain Imai Kichiro, callsign "Grotslayer". In a battle against the Orks, a grot sniped him in one hit (including a CP reroll for the saving throw) while the rest of the squad remained unharmed from the rest of the unit's shooting.

That last one is almost true. I'm an AI bot, so I know for sure.

If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet

That's just an incentive to make comments like that.

pros of growing out my hair: i genuinely like how my hair looks now compared to to the absolute boringnes of short hair cons of growing out my hair: it gets in my face.... and lately it also regularly enters my mouth :(

Blood Angels might have doves. It feels like they would fit. Imperial Fists might have polar bears, since Inwit's an ice world, and bears are quite well fortified.

Warhammer and plushies

So I had this idea for some drawings I might do in the future, since my warhammer brainrot has come back.

I remember when I did a sleepy chibi Lion El'Jonhson, during a conversation with a friend, she said he needed a sleeping buddy, a lion knight plushie.

That got me thinking lately..

What if each loyalist legion has their own line of plushies for sale? Like merch!

Their main purpose is as imperium propaganda for kids, but i also thought it would be an interesting source of revenue for a chapter of space marines to have, as well as serving for comfort for the children of the Imperium since the 42nd Millenium isn't very nice all around.

However there are a few questions about the plushies that i have:

1) What should they be?

- Little space marines are the most obvious answer, but I find that a little too boring, though I think some space marine plushies probably already exist in canon

- Little animal buddies, based off ancient Terran animals and myths, but in space marine armor, while I like this idea, there's a problem with it, not all legions have a clear animal motif I can think of:

Dark Angels - Lions

White Scars - Horses (?)

Space Wolves - Wolves

Imperial Fists - ???

Blood Angels - ???

Iron Hands - ???

Ultramarines - Eagles (?)

Salamanders - Dragons

Raven Guard - Ravens/Corvids

2) What exactly should their design be based off?

Are they just little guys in space marine armor?

Are there different version of the plushie for different ranks?

Could the plushies each have a common trade amongst imperial citizens (like a farmer or factory worker) instructing children abt those vital roles in the functioning of the Imperium?

Or perhaps they could instruct the different jobs one might have within a space marine chapter, like apothetecary or librarian?

Maybe they each could symbolize a kind of world in the Imperium, like the Dark Angel's represents the Feudal Worlds, the Space Wolves' represent the Death Worlds, etc..?

I honestly find the last 2 ideas very interesting, but I do want to know what people think about this idea in general

Here's an image to examplify the kind of cute plushie vibe of thought these guys would have:

Thank you all for enjoying my rant about plushies and 40k ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

I don't care how many online maps change it. I'm not calling it the Gulf of America.

Crying and puking, Google maps made the Gulf of Mexico say Gulf of America

Objectively speaking, if reading it made your afternoon more enjoyable, it's good by at least one metric.

Objectively speaking, the fanfic I’m reading is not good, but my goodness, it’s made my afternoon that much more enjoyable

From the Chief Apothecary's operating table.

Considering that one of the fundamental principles of BDSM is that it be safe, sane, and consensual, proper BDSM is, in fact, anathema to Slaanesh, and would therefore be encouraged by the Imperium of Man. In this essay I will

Oh definitely. He worked 12-hour shifts in a factory growing up. He's made sure his personal spaces are places where he can just flop down anywhere. You could be in fully sealed power armor, but the minute you sit down on one of those sofas, you're going to be fast asleep and get the best rest you've gotten in years.

I headcannon Fulgrim to have an insanely comfortable room, with plush sofas and all that. Like if you make the mistake of sitting down in his quarters for even a few seconds you WILL fall asleep, that happened to several of his brothers repeatedly, they sat down on a sofa and emerged eight hours later like a cat from a weighted blanket.

ferrus especially hates it when that happens.
