Warhammer 40k

3903 readers
57 users here now

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

It was the 90s since I last played 40K apart fro a short stint playing Dawn of War.

I found this on Reddit but I'm site-banned so can't ask there. My rough grasp is....

  • The crowned woman is a famous eldar princess type thing?
  • Ultramarine Primarch (Robert Gullman?) is her dad? That doesn't make sense....
  • She's pregnant with his kid??? How can humans and Eldar have kids? I didn't know that was possible.
  • The Emperor is pissed that Ultramarine Rob shagged the eldar?

What did I miss/get wrong?

Oof. Sorry but you are absolutely not up to date with grimdank memeology.

The eldar woman is Yvraine from craftworld Biel-Tan, she is a prophet for the new eldar goddess Ynnead and goes around the universe trying to find new followers. She's in a sect, in short.

She stumbles upon Belisarius Cawl and helps him revive Roblox Gullible (nobody says Guilliman, you fool).

From that simple thing, people have gotten quite creative in terms of dreaming a relationship between Yvraine and Rubik's Guacamole. Yes many rule34 depravations have naturally followed.

To sum up, in a world where every major hero from 30k has more or less disappeared, the romance of Yvraine and Robust Guitarist is the only chance to repopulate the galaxy with hope and beautiful babies

As a small addendum this - honestly amazing - post was the spark for the whole couple thing: Happy Thanksgiving! 23 Nov 2017

And to be precise, it was because of this image:

I just wanted to say I loved your creative renames of Rotund Guideline

Rattrap Guillotine reminds me of Benadryl Cumberbund.

😂 Aaah fantastic! Thank you. They seem to speak a different language on that sub. Gets very confusing. :)

You’ve got the long and short of it. I can only add in reply to your incredulousness about Eldar-human hybrids...
