The only way for him to grow out of his perfectionism would be for him to lose in a manner that was very clearly his own fault. The sword may have been the final straw, but it definitely wasn't even most of the reason why he fell.
‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you
Do it.
I think the reason why I dislike Guillivraine so much is because of the fact that, imo, the majority of the shippers don't really take the ship seriously themselves. Jokes about ships are fine and cool, but that's literally all I see about the ship. Not two people carrying the burden of trying to save their respective races from certain doom and feeling understood by the other. Not two people haunted and traumatized by their respective pasts. Not all the nuances and difficulties that would happen in the case of Human x Eldar relationship: diplomatic, platonic and especially romantic.
But nope. Its quite literally just a xenophilia joke to even the shippers themselves. I don't mind xenophilia jokes about human x alien relationships in 40k, but not when it's... just everything there is to the pair.

Nathaniel Garro/Saul Tarvitz forever.
There are many Lucius/Saul ships out there (which I also like), but my ship sails under the Nathaniel /Saul flag ♥️
Those two deserved so much more for their courage during the Horus Heresy. F#ck Erebus and his Chaos bs 😡
This is only a warm up to get me back into drawing naked male bodies, so pls don't judge it too harshly lol good criticism and feedback is always welcome though.
After this, it's back to the usual program: primarchs' portraits, with Ferrus Manus coming up next🐼
The Emerald Wings
Literally that scene from Renegades: Harrowmaster
What are they gonna do? Label him a heretek?
Belisarius breaks 'true flesh' indecent exposure laws on several Forge Worlds. this is probably deliberate. they can do nothing about it.
Yes, this does count as an aerospace question. And yes, their aerodynamics are quite bad. They would not fly very well with modern technology.
That "with modern technology" part is the key word, there. Because according to the lore, a lot of them can canonically fly very well.
Most canon speeds for 40k aircraft are 2000 kph or more, at about a mile above sea level. The speed of sound at that altitude is a bit over 1200 kph, for reference. Having 20,000+ km of range (eg they could fly from anywhere on earth to anywhere else on earth) isn't uncommon, either.
Many are also single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft (meaning that when they go to space, they take the entire spacecraft with them, and don't have boosters that they drop partway up like real world rockets), and all of those are reusable (meaning they can make multiple flights to and from orbit) and able to withstand reentry without any heat shielding beyond whatever armor they might have (and they are armored, with larger craft like the Thunderhawk being similar in durability to heavier tanks like Land Raiders).
There are a few conclusions you can draw from that.
Any of these aircraft would experience immense drag when flying (or when reentering the atmosphere). Not only does this mean that their airframes would need to be able to withstand the stress from that drag, they also need engines powerful enough to push them against it.
The combination of their range and single-stage-to-orbit capacity (and payload) means that they are powered by something far more energy-dense than any real world fuel.
I have a feeling that a space marine (talking about in armour here btw) might actualy be more earodynamic than any of the space marine planes
You know what? Yeah
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
