Here are the first 4 pgs for Abbigail and Thea
It's been on a long hiatus and might stay that way for a little longer. Sorry.
Another Sister of Battle
Adepta Sororitas are pretty cool.
"The Witch Hunters"
Finally finished my old spontaneous art: Lord Inquisitor from the Ordo Hereticus and his bodyguard - Sister of Battle from the Order of the Bloody Rose.
Wanted to try something John Blanche/Adrian Smith-like.
Feel free to reblog on Tumblr. Don't post on other social media without my consent, thank you!
History Lesson! So, for 3rd edition, in the 90s, when 40k was becoming What It Is Today, GW was trying very hard to market it's toys to teen boys. The biggest problem they had was that kids, as a rule, don't have jobs, and thus the deal was "you need to get the kids to persuade their parents to pay up." And this was, well, the 90s. There was still a back-swing going on away from the 70s, and the tail end of the Satanic Panic. Parents cared about what the kids were up to, in very specific ways. War was fine. But sexy? Harder sell. This is when Slaanesh became more vaguely about 'excess', notably, but it's also when the Sororitas arrived on the field, as warrior nuns. And GW took the decision to say nothing about sex. At all. They weren't "the brides of the Emperor" [nuns are often 'brides of Christ']. They were pure of faith. They were never 'pure of heart' or god forbid, 'chaste', lest some mother have to deal with little Timmy asking what it meant. The Sisters' lore was so de-sexualised the canon didn't even suggest they refrained. Just an absolute void of information. Treated as if it were their opinions on 17th century agricultural practices. Writers (canon and fan alike!) over the years later saw this not as a mistake to correct, but a chance to say "what if the nuns fucked".
Sisters Yuri is just gals being pals, being good squadmates. Kissing each other with tongue is in the Codex
[sagely nod] this is the truth. gal pals. gallant paladins, if you will. I read this doctrine in the Book of Sloppy Style, Volume III, Verse 27. improving morale is an imperative to the pious.
I love the idea that she doesn't even need to check.
She just knows.
