Gelidus and friend's blog

(Message to long time followers at the bottom!)

(blue = Introduction

(green = What SMH is)

(red = Original content)

Hi y'all, I'm The coolest Quarren, or was at least. That was the old username I used during my FANDOM era back when I was younger. I've moved on from that site, though I still might go back to it on occasion, my focus will be strictly on this blog and the Warhammer community as a whole on Tumblr moving forward.

(For the time being as of now)

From now on, refer to me (The one running the blog) as Mr. GT and the character of Gelidus as, well, Gelidus

For those of you who've stayed with this blog since it's inception have noticed a shift towards SMH in my more recent posts, and that's not without reason: I simply just wanted to join in on the fun lol.

But I'm not getting rid of the old stuff, far from it. I've just put it on the backburner for now as I focus on my new endeavor

As a whale for JoyToy's Warhammer figures you can expect a lot of different factions to show up through out this series. But that leads to a very important question:

What is Space Marine Husbandry?

The answer is quite simple! SMH is for blogs set inside fictional universes where Astartes are little creatures that live and roam around our world and get up to mischievous activities. These blogs follow people who adopt said little fellas and document their lives with them.

You'll mostly see me sharing/reblogging various other accounts on here to bring them attention to their blogs! If you know of a blog you'd like to be featured here then feel free to share it with me!

Original content

As for things I've made, there's plenty to choose from!

Terminator Tales, a episodic series that follow Gelidus, an Ultramarines Terminator on his various adventures

A series of photos I took while out on a walk is a continuous series which follows Beaky and his human unnamed friend as the go about exploring the vast world

Painting, Modeling and Homebrewing, Me showing off my various armies and projects I've been working on, including building and painting miniatures, working on dioramas and Homebrew lore

Something in my backyard, my own Space Marine/Warhammer Husbandry series following a small but growing band of Sons of Horus and their fight for survival in the wilderness... of a backyard

Miscellaneous nonsense, just random silly photos and memes I've taken.

For all the long-time followers...

Thank you for sticking by me for so long! I deeply appreciate all of you who have helped this blog grow to the point it has. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you all!

He's still doing fine, nothing real exciting on the medical front, but he's not too happy about the new that's he's gonna have to keep the cast on for longer.

The Apothecary is gonna be out for a few days now, left earlier this morning to go see his other patient. Meanwhile Big Blue has just been chilling with the cat.

Giving her head scratches along with a neck massage? Can't really tell what he's trying to do lol.

Yeah it was feeding time so she ran as soon as someone started opening a can.

Anyways, besides pestering the cat (she doesn't mind don't worry) he's also been getting interested in sports! I tried explaining to him what the World Cup is and how important it is, but I don't think he really understood what I was saying.

Nonetheless, he's still interested!

He brought his lil moose to watch the game with him. 🥺

Also, no information on the Sons of Horus, I've been keeping an eye out for them, so don't you worry.

So, bad and good news.

Bad news: He's not completely ready to head back outside for a bit. The Doctor/Apothecary said the wound on his arm hasn't fully healed yet, so I'm gonna have to keep him inside for a bit longer unless I wanna risk him getting his wound getting worse.

Good news: The Doctor said his arm is healed enough that the cast can come off soon! So hopefully I can take it off by the next update, though I might wanna keep it on just for a bit longer to be safe.

In the meantime, we've been hanging out, bonding and whatnot. He shouldn't get too attached but I wouldn't be surprised if after I let him go he decides to visit every one and a while.

Sorry for the lack of updates the other day, I was very busy and forgot to post! Besides taking care of Big Blue (That's his name until I know what to actually call him) I had to deal with a few more Astartes both wild and domesticated.

Saw this little guy peering into the house and thought BB would like to take a look, they both stared at each other before the Son of Horus got aggressive and started poking at the window with his sword. Luckily it didn't leave any marks, I was able to scare him off before anything serious could have been done. (He had a Bolter on him so he could have put holes in the sliding door)

Besides that though, BB's left arm has been healing pretty well! He's able to hold and pick up stuff now!

Now I'm just assuming what happened since I don't speak High Gothic/Latin, but after he was told he could use his arm again, he picked up the Apothecary and gave him a big hug. You can see him trying to get me to make him stop lol.

After that though, it was time to do his favorite activity: Pestering the cat! She doesn't really seem to mind all that, but I'm still gonna call it it that.

Besides that, not really much else happened. We wanted to watch the game but the TV wasn't working. He was being a gentleman trying to turn it on, but he couldn't figure out how.

We have two remotes, one turns on the TV, the other switches through the channels. We got it from our uncle a couple months back which is why we have the two of them.

Also you may have noticed, but we got him some plushies! A T-Rex and Canadian Moose.

Out of the two I think he likes the moose the most.

And before you ask, this is not coming out of the weed-whacker fund, we found these on clearance while doing some grocery shopping and decided to pick them up!

No photos for today's update, but he's doing well. Very energetic little guy. I caught him running across the couch chasing the cat and when she got tired they just kind of laid together. It was cute but sadly I couldn't get a photo. 😔

The Apothecary still doing check-ups on him while he's here, though he's gonna have to leave for a few days due to another patient. Hopefully he comes back soon because the Victrix is enjoying his company.

We've also been hanging out, though I think he prefers hanging with dudes his own size more lol. That being said I think he's starting to get to like me more.

He's been doing better! He's mostly been resting in the little bed area I've made for him on the couch, but besides that he's also been doing some exploring! (Also apologies for the blurry photo, my cat startled me as I took the photo)

Mostly he's been asked to be picked up and moved to the window. He misses his brothers a lot and has been asking to check ever couple of hours. Poor guy must be worried sick, and I can't imagine what his brothers must be thinking.

Hopefully though, he can get back to the great out doors. Doctor said he's gonna need the cast for a week or more before he's fully healed. Apparently since his arm was ripped off so violently it's gonna take a lot longer to heal than it normally would for a Space Marine.

We've also been doing some bonding as well, looked it up online and since he's a Veteran (according to the sources) he won't grow too attached to me, so figured I might as well get to hang out with the little guy while he stays in my place.

Other than that, the Apothecary is doing daily check-ups on him, haven't been able to catch it on tape yet but hopefully for the next few update posts I can.
