Little Peroxuus sketch omgmm mybigboy...

“We aren’t clearing this minefield, just march across arm in arm and let nature take its course. Don’t worry about the machine gunners on the other side; they’ll run out of ammo before we run out of soldiers.”

You would be surprised about the amount of stuff (and people) you can get if you apply a bit of effort into saving them from the meatgrinder! :D One of Naël's favorite form of recruitment : "Oh, you're all doomed? How about this : we adopt whoever survives! :D So focus on surviving, okay? :D"

So, I'll present 2 of some ocs I was cooking since few weeks but unable to sketch them until now. They're a part of a larger warband leaded by a dissident Word Bearer called Bahram and his three lieutenants:

- Malefaim, a lonely Death Guard,

- Anghèu, a Night Lord,

- and Werre, a World Eater traitor to his legion.

For the moment I've only designed Werre as a mutated Astartes/Manticore (I hesitated with making him a horse centaur) and Anghèu.

Some presentations now!

Werre:

He was a proud son of Terra' member of the War Hounds before Angron was found. He thought that he'll love his new Father but the deception was huge and he started hating him, especially when Angron forced the Nails on his sons. Werre didn't had another choice than to accept them and serve (he tried to pull out the Nail but it caused him an ineffable pain). He did until the the end of the Siege of Terra when he quit his Legion with few brothers to form a rogue warband.

Werre is difficult to apprehend due to the Butcher's Nails altering his personality and behaviour, always swinging betwen periods of depersonalization, sadness or violence. And being most of the time with powerful psyker don't help him at all to calm the constant pain.

He joined Bahram's warband later in life with his brothers, forming a larger one, stronger and more functional

Anghèu:

Of the warband, he's the youngest. Not a Nostramo born, his parents were descendants of baselines humans from a planet in the Thramas sector, serfs in a Night Lord war band's ship. He was taken from them when the warband started needed more Astartes writhing its ranks and the young Anghèu was at the perfect age to start the process. Little they knew or they didn't care about was that Anghèu was a Blank but it didn't stopped the Night Lord to made an Astartes out of him.

Years later his warband was defeated by another and Anghèu was left to die, his Blankness being intolerable to be near him (he was causing people head aches, lot of pain, sudden collapse and sometime he killed some serfs and slaves by accident). Bahram was the one to find him and didn't reject him: his blankness can be an advantage in combat. To help him a little, he created for the Night Lord an artefact based on the Aeldari soul stone to give him a relative presence in the warp, nullifying temporary the side effect of his blankness when he's wearing the artefact mounted as a collar.

He's a huuuuge picky eater, eating only some very specific thing. He smiles and laugh a lot but his laugh his kinda weird and often he manages to choke himself while laughing.

Werre and Anghèu are extremely close especially when the blankness of Anghèu sometime attenuate the psychics energies emited by the psyker that can trigger the Nails and can also attenuate the pain caused by them.

I'll talk more about them another time when I'll have the time to work a little more on them. For the moment I'm working on another project (not one of mine) and also on the design for Malefaim and Bahram.

For Malefaim, I want to go on a design based on bugs because I love bugs, so maybe a spider type tarentula because in my mind Malefaim have the phsysic of a sumo, so a large spider for a large boy maybe mixed with a moth (maybe a hummingbird moth) or some scarab for the tank aspect.

And for Bahram, since he's a master of possession, I want to include in his design some goat features. I will also look in my books and lessons what I can find to give him a look based on Indian art, maybe early 1st millennial, maybe based on the sculpture from the Bharhut and Sanchi Stūpas and early Gupta art (I'm reserving the Gandhara's art for someone else 🤭).

Little bonus: quick sketch of Anghèu and Werre taking a nap

He's correct. This is excellent.

He is casting spell of car repair on it, I think.

And now it just needs a plate!

Other options are LONNNG and LOMMMG.

Vaccines (yay!)

Pasteurization

Implementing and enforcing food quality and sanitation standards. Did you know White Castle was called as such because their gimmic was that they continually cleaned and bleached their stores inside and out to prevent food poisoning.

The invention of antibiotics! The first sulfa drugs dropped in the 1930s-40s

Widespread access and distribution of enriched food products! Enriched flour did a lot to prevent malnutrition, and it’s how Wonderbread got its name!

We got a hell of a lot better with medical care for sick and premature infants. The first incubators for premature babies were actually used as something of a sideshow attraction at Coney Island! It was the only way the doctor who invented them could get funding to keep them running because no one thought it would work. It showed a lot of people that really premature babies could survive with the right treatment and eventually was adopted by hospitals.

The green revolution in agriculture that prevented around a billion people from starving to death
