Female Astartes - Blog Posts

Oh, and last thing for the night. Here is my take on Fem Lorgar. I felt inspired.

This is to go with my other post where I gave my shpeal on why Morty works so much better as a woman.

I didn't wanna add this to it/reblog it with this because that post was too long already, and the other post was more about how there should be more primarch moms.(adopted mothers of the scattered primarchs)

And this one is:

Which Primarchs work better as women/femme:

Putrabo

Konrad Curze

Mortarion

Jagathai Khan

Magnus

Leman Russ

Okay, now explanations (warning this is gonna be looonggg)

Also, this is just my opinion. Please feel free to change and argue why!!! I love in-depth literary analysis and debate!

So, fist off after that, yes, I feel a majority of the traitors would make more sense as women, specifically their storylines, seem to work well with women leads. And would offer a more nuanced reading. (Also, this would totally piss off those fucking anti-woke chuds)

- Perturabo(Petra)- I could have also made dorn fem but I like the extra dichotomy their relationship is given as a brother sister dynamic. Both are different sides of the same coin. Even more so.

She would also be underestimated and compared to her shining golden brother. Her hate is that of women just as qualified for a job getting skipped over for an equally qualified man. (Yes, I know Putrabo's made to know how to tear things down where Dorn is made to fortify. But again, it's allegorical, that extra layer)

-Konrad (Kassandra)- she'd be such a Bipolar queen. Okay, done... nah, I got a little more.

So I feel not much is different until u reach that adult phase, more so than the others. Her madness and lunacy are painted much worse, but she's still on business. She despises her father(Emps) but does as she says. She's the freaky screwed up daughter (very Jinx-like) where Sanguinia is the perfect daddy's girl, and it makes Kass sick.

Mortarion(Morticia)- please see previous post

Jagathai Kahn(Khutulun) - okay, little out of left field, and truthfully, I don't know enough about the cannon warhawk to justify saying that a fem Warhawk is "better" but I wanted at least one othe loyalist fem primarch. Also, this lets me keep the yuricest between her and Magnolia (Magnus)

Magnus (Magnolia)- speaking of the red cyclops, I think having the biggest primarch be fem is just phenomenal, also it adds a woman confidently attempting to uptain more understanding of the universe as a whole, being very scientific in her approach only to be called sorceress/witch in the persuit of knowledge. And in the end, only to be driven mad trying to get even the smallest bit of control.

(Also, as mentioned above, a huge bonus of it keeps my Khan x Magnus ship gay and better, yuri)

-Leman Russ(Freya) OK, so I feel Feya works better than her male counterpart only because it would be almost poetic. Having her raised by a mother wolf and so she takes that role over for her sons(legion).

Again, these are just my opinions, so if u disagree, that's totally fine! 😊 I love sparking discussions and seeing where other people's heads are at.

And sorry if this isn't really coherent. I'm kinda writing this sleep deprived and starving. 😅

Imma make ramen now 😆 🤣

I feel like not enough of the primarchs really have memorable mothers

Like I can only really think of, Guilliman's mom, Leman's Wolf Mom, and kinda Putrabo's sister(not a mom but still very prominent/memorable woman related to a primarch)

Like I get it, give them Daddy issues before they meet Emps, and then they get to have real daddy issues, but still.

I feel that's such a missed opportunity

Like give Angron a warrior mom who survived years in the pit because she had to be strong, but something in Angron unlocks a violent maternal instinct she thought she would never feel. It's not the usual "motherly instincts" but more like a lioness'

Or give Logar a priestess/holy mother nun, someone to foster his love for the religion, encourage his blind worship and devotion. And thinking him a gift from the gods.

Like, I'm not saying replace every dad with a mom, but I feel like an even distribution would give more narrative creativity!

That's also how I ultimately feel about making some Primarchs into Fem Primarchs. I feel they should have had, let's say, half the cannon primarchs be their fem variants. I feel that for some, it would have fit their storylines better.

Like ngl, Morty is my favourite, but hot take...

I feel his story would hit so much better if he was fem.

Cause one thing I picked up on is not a lot of 30k/40k fans like mortarion, or they just find him boring. (Im saying most people i have encountered and also pretty much every 40k youtuber I've seen), but i feel if he was Mortica, something might click.

It would hit different cause now u have a girl being used and abused by her toxic father, and then her vengeance is stolen from her by a man she doesn't even know. She is constantly trying to become more resilient, turning her resentment into bile.

It changes the meta-context and the readers perspective. Sure, 40k is so far in the future that gender and sex don't matter, but us as outside observers would then think and discuss Mortarion/Morticia's position with the very raw reality of how a majority of women/fem people are victimised irl.

And when they overcome it, they're hurt, they're changed and far less willing to be corjal with people. They have every right to be mad, to be hurt, but society sees them as jaded, as "a cold hearted bitch" and "just broken"

And it's this meta text being super imposed from real life experiences and knowledge that makes Morty more relatable.

Especially to a fem audience. She would then feel like the definition of female rage; quiet, intense, lured hate, all hidden behind a mask. Despite most knowing what she has gone through, they still feel uncomfortable being around her. Thinking she could be nicer, she should be sweeter and bounce back like she was designed to do.

But she can't. She's been tortured, her only vengeance taken from her. All by men, all by psykers. She loathes them all. She's traumatised and has built emotional walls so tight, not even Putrabo(who I also feel would be fem) could crack them.

We had an unbelievably shit day that left us in tears, bawling my eyes out. Then I saw ur post and tried drawing it to cheer myself up. Hope u like it

Consider the following: Carnívora titties on primarchs.

I used the order carnívora for this because well...wolves and lions are under that order but after that they branch out, I could've used "mammalian" but humans are mammals so....

Look, all I'm getting here is that either leman or lion (choose your pick) should have six rows of nipples that are all heavy with milk. Sore and tender. Oversensitive to the slightest breeze of fabric with every touch being a sensitive overload.

I swear I'm not slaneshi tainted, my time obsessing about ultramoorines and the possibility of them having udders that are bulging thanks to the human industrial need.

Good grief it's late at night to ponder this blushing heresy....

I haven't drawn them in a bit, but I still love my two doomed space lesbians. And I needed a break from reality.

The funny thing is that the lore of these two is that Thea(the Sister of Battle) is way more sexual and sluty towards Abbi (The Noise Marine) and Abbi is so easily flustered.

Last thing for tonight.

I've been working on fleshing out Abbigail's Warband of "failed" experiments from Fabius.

Can u tell which one I liked the most?

If you can't see, her name is Evolese Maw and I love her! She is my first Yeen oc. And here is her mini

She's almost done. I just started painting her today.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a 3d printed yeen head. So she has to wear a helmet.🥺

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.

And here we have my Plauge Marine Greater possessed/Demon Prince oc. I dot really have a ton of personal lore on her yet, but she does lead my custom Death Gaurd Warband "The Masque of the Crimson Rot"

Their colour scheme is red with gold trim and pail pink flesh, and their energy is green.

Here are my fav two ocs I've made for warhammer.

Abbigail(Abbi) - One of Fabius Biles attempts to make fem marines from scratch. However, her and all her sisters turned out wrong, save the Fem clone of fulgrim he made. Abbi is actually mute as using her voice would cause an uncontrollable sound blast. She is also very shy and "reseverd" for a child of the Phonecian. With help from their clone mother, Abbi and the others escaped before they could be "repourposed". Now they lead a ramshackle warband of themselves and exiled warriors from the Emperor's Children, headed by both Fem Fulgrim and a mysterious fem marine that wasn't created with the rest and has infact been around since the Heresy.

Anathia (Thea)- is a trans girl from an agri-world who always wanted to be a sister of battle but never got selected. Then, one day, her planet suffered an invasion from the Sons of Malice. She found a fallen sister who gave her her sword to defend them both. Unfortunately the Sister was too wounded and succumbed to her injuries. Thea seeing the opportunity finally present herself she dawns the Sisters armour and takes the fallen's place. While she is discovered pretty quickly, something causes the Cannoness to spare Thea.

I am making a comic about it, which I will be posting (I have 4 pages done so far)
