After a while of getting my hands on Procreate I made a couple of brushes I use whenever I sketch or line anything - I am a big fan of grit and texture as you can tell.

Hi! Currently the warhammer 40k dark heresy beta is out and a few ppl have played it but there isnt alot of content about it here yet, especially about our favorite corsair, so im going to leave this here: if you're someone who is planning to romance laarthyr, or just in general really like the character and want to see the best possible outcome to his quest in the dark heresy beta you must be aware there is a bug. speciffically in the second location of his rituals. His quest "Songs of the Depths" requires you to go to 3 distinct locations and let him perform rituals FIRST LOCATION: the first one is right next to the excavation site. as you exit it, turn right and youll find it near the water. DIALOGUE: You must interrupt laarthyr's ritual in order to "save him" i believe its a diplomacy check. might be different if you yourself are a psyker. this will have a positive outcome. help him snap out of it basically. As is always the case with laarthyr, just ask questions try to be nice and patient with him and the rest is smooth sailling. SECOND LOCATION: these next locations are both in the upper town. the first one you'll reach is above the stonehead dude basically. in a little circular house. u have to climb to get there. there is a small group of people not too far from its entrance. DIALOGUE: this is the bug. You are meant to stop the crowd from interfering with laarthyr's ritual. but if u succeed you will notice laarthyr's dialogue will initially be positive and acknowledge that u prevented the interruption but right after that when u ask laarthyr what he learned from the ritual he will reply as if you had failed to keep the crowd out. you must fail this part of the quest on purpose. you must let the crowd interrupt him and die. he will initially chastise u for it, but all subsequent dialogue will be positive. as always ask him as many questions as u can, be nice and patient and continue. THIRD LOCATION: still in upper town keep going left from where the previous ritual was located. u will come across the area where the fanatics are hanging out including their leader. keep walking past them to the edge of the map on the left side and you will encounter the final location and the final ritual. DIALOGUE: nothing special here. let him do his thing ask questions continue to be nice and when he asks u to go to the excavation site go with him.

FINAL PART: defeat the giant fight at the excavation site without laarthyr's ritual being interrupted. now as along as u prioritize asking him about what he found out and in general stay nice he will.. "flirt?" with u. you'll know you succeeded if he comments on how inquisitive u are and how its been a while since he met someone who asked so many questions. then he makes the grand reveal ;) Ok thats it. i hope this helps someone. Stay safe and happy pride to all my fellow aeldari lovers <3

Mervyn van der Roi, Inquisitional acolyte from Ordo Hereticus

But he also gets these occasional delusions of heroism at times in the midst of battle where he lifts his chin and decides to embrace his biological destiny as a gene-forged superhuman engineered to wage war.

Then almost immediately gets his ass fucked up like "[sound of armor clanking and rattling as he gets violently thrown around like a rag doll] oh god ah jeez help--"

Yeah dude it turns out you actually need to develop fighting as a skill instead of spending entire days writing religious screeds and coating yourself in gold dust.

I think it's because he's so accustomed to being able to dictate reality as the ultimate authority in his legion. He can insist "I am a kind soul. I am the most saintly of nice guys" and it's just taken as gospel (quite literally) by the Word Bearers. He's the sweetest most gentlest boy and it's true, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, because he says so.

Corax is a ball of perception-skillmaxed autism specializing in stealth, recon, and ambush attacks. Compared to almost all of his brothers he is a horrible duelist mostly relying on his jump-pack as a gimmick, and unlike Peturabo, who's legion tactics also heavily favour ranged combat over melee duels, he does not have the raw emotional force of rage to back him up - and on top of that he also lacks the raw experience of those who on the regular go into melee. All he got going for him is evasion and a godlike reaction speed for defense. He truly is one of the weakest duelists of the bunch.

And then he doesn't, on Armatura he:

-almost gets evaporated with a plasma blast

-almost gets crushed by a warhound

-almost gets murdered by Guilliman
