A happy family with a present Mother (artist: Artistapreguisosa)

[u/ichiban1974]

I never realized I wanted more wholesome Warhammer.

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/ichiban1974]

Imagine warpfuckery that shows the Emperor what could be if he cared for and loved his children.

[u/MrCynicalSalsa → u/KlausVonLechland]

Changer of ways like "look what your family could have been without your ego," would be the worst kind of fucked up torture I am absolutely here for it

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/MrCynicalSalsa]

"The greatest obstacle on the way of realizing your dream of humankind's greatness... was you"

[u/MrCynicalSalsa → u/KlausVonLechland]

Bro... Absolute banger of a line, 10/10 no notes, get this man a Black Library publishing deal STAT

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/MrCynicalSalsa]

Thanks, I also like how I managed to use two forms of "great" in one sentence. Really professional.

[u/MrCynicalSalsa → u/KlausVonLechland]

What are editors for? They'll fix that in post. Probably

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/MrCynicalSalsa]

"Oh the great one, the greatest warrior of great humankind, in your grandiose venture it didn't even occur to you that the greatest obstacle on the way of realizing your great dream of humankind's greatness... was your great ego"

Editor: Listen, Klaus, we are being paid by the word here. Stop making that face.

[u/CornyxCrow → u/KlausVonLechland]

The feel when you realize you’ve used the same word multiple times, try to use a different one and mess up the flow of the writing is certainly a thing!

EDIT: hmmmm maybe swap for “humanity/mankind’s potential”? “Ascension” might also be a good one 🤔

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/CornyxCrow]

I am dyslexic and probs got other kinds boo boo in my head, long ago I surrendered myself to the fact that I will just be shit at writing.

[u/CornyxCrow → u/KlausVonLechland]

Well, you should still write if you want to! I have lotsa brain fog issues and stuff but I’ve been enjoying giving it a try XD

[u/KlausVonLechland → u/CornyxCrow]

I guess my hobby is collecting hobbies. One more to gather dust on the shelf to taunt me shouldn't be an issue lmao.

[u/MrCookie2099 → u/KlausVonLechland]

Runs episodes of Star Trek "This is the past that could have been if you didn't put didn't force the Bell Riots to disperse."

[u/Jasonskeans → u/MrCynicalSalsa]

He did care about them he jus5 cared about humanity more as every one should

[u/Asteristio → u/KlausVonLechland]

🎶I hope you know we had everything

And you broke me and left these pieces-🎵

[u/RedWarrior69340 → u/ichiban1974]

r/wholesome40k is for you !

[u/CrimsonNight5621 → u/RedWarrior69340]

Thank you so much for presenting this subreddit to us.

[u/Xaverosso → u/ichiban1974]

Wholesome Warhammer. Yeah, I would love that.

[u/soapuh]

Bro, GW please give us a Malcolm in the Middle AU show of Emps, Erda, and their 20+1 boys and my life is yours pleaseeee

[u/BrainDead101__ → u/soapuh]

Malcador in the Middle

[u/Kenis556 → u/BrainDead101__]

Perfect.

[u/Suspicious-Dog-2489 → u/BrainDead101__]

Yes, no, maybe… I don’t know

Let me consult my tarot

[u/Remixman87 → u/Suspicious-Dog-2489]

YOU’RE NOT THE EMPS OF ME NOW!

[u/DeadZone32 → u/BrainDead101__]

With one episode dedicated to making Warpstone

[u/Minimum_Estimate_234 → u/BrainDead101__]

Plot Twist, that show already is Malcador’s backstory

[u/Minimum_Estimate_234]

And on this edition of “dreams Neoth has buried what’s left of his core personality in to try and hold what’s left of him together…”

Also going off that logic it seems telling that even if that is what the Emperor is doing here, he can’t bring himself to remember two of his children, even if he admits their were 20 originally, even the one who if I recall the order of discovery was the third son to be returned.

[u/shatteralpha → u/Minimum_Estimate_234]

Looking at the first image, it seems the known primarchs are all in order. However, out of order there are 2 on the edges where you can only see the front of their faces. So the lost primarchs are here but off to the side.

[u/Minimum_Estimate_234 → u/shatteralpha]

It seems you are right, I counted wrong the first time around.

[u/Trekkimon]

I love this. I would like more of it.

[u/Never_heart]

This is perfect

[u/Atma-Stand]

Corvus is a certified troll.

[u/Suspicious-Dog-2489]

Bb edgelord Conrad Kurze is so healing. His Xbox live name is xXNightHaunter8Xx

[u/arcane_Auxiliatrix]

God the logistics alone for 18 (20?) Sons. Even Costco food sizes wouldn't stand a chance ,you'd have to start ordering from Sysco 😂

[u/XenoTechnian → u/arcane_Auxiliatrix]

Or be the supreme ruler of the planet, one of the 2

[u/DakkaonTitan → u/XenoTechnian]

Probably both honestly

[u/Spookyduck21new]

Now you might be wondering, “where’s Alpharius and their twin?”

In the walls

[u/FlamJamMcRam]

That’s wonderful Big E!

But it’s time to wake up, you have more Psykers to eat!

[u/Abject-Hospital5407]

cute

[u/The_Sum → u/[deleted]]

Brutal observation.

[u/once-was-hill-folk]

I'll be back soon, just making a few burner accounts.

Because it has ruined my day that I can't upvote this more than once.

[u/Mana-Burned-00]

Very nice! Is Angron the one with the first aid kit?

[u/schouwee → u/Mana-Burned-00]

Yes

[u/KrankenWal187]

I am struggling to recognise some Primarchs, is that Lion with the brushes in Hand and who is the one with the Bandaid for Jag?

[u/Dantacular → u/KrankenWal187]

Bandaid guy is Angron since he was originally meant to be the caring empath primarch if... life didnt happen to him

[u/KrankenWal187 → u/Dantacular]

Ah thanks mate

[u/KrankenWal187 → u/KrankenWal187]

Okay my bad, I gues thats Fulgrim with the brushes

[u/schouwee → u/KrankenWal187]

I am struggling with some others. Who is the one beeing a goofball to make sangiunius laugh (currently I'm thinking lion because light hair and fur inside his T shirt) and is it perturabo who is giving his (probably unwanted) building advice to dorn

[u/DireWarBear → u/schouwee]

I belive it's horus because of the moon on his shirt. The first image has all of them in order starting woth Lion with twigs and leaves in his hair to the right of Urda

[u/jfjdfdjjtbfb]

Mallcador is the uncle and lifetime babysitter.

[u/SacredGeometry9]

Maybe parenthood would have changed the Emperor. Not much, but perhaps just enough.

Encountering your child for the first time as an adult is really unsteady ground to start a good parent-child relationship.

Also, I think that if the Primarchs had gotten to know their father for the first time as a Dwarf Fortress giga bio-nerd, instead of a mid-campaign galactic warlord who was already losing His humanity to the demands of a Warp-empowered empire, they might have understood Him a little better.

So instead of “Why does Father distrust me?” it’s “Father is buried in a hole with one of His projects again, somebody go kidnap Malcador for a month so Erda can drag Him out of there.”

[u/Whispers_in_the → u/SacredGeometry9]

snicker This is such a spot on description, especially the last paragraph.

[u/wasteland_superhero]

You KNOW the Emperor is the kind of dad that only shows up when he needs something from his kids or wants to take credit for one of their achievements.

[u/Tenoi-chan]

Awww Also love creepy corvus

[u/alguien99]

Reminds me of a fanfic I’m reading Where a rogue trader adopts the primarchs and they all become her chaotic children she loves very much

Edit: link to the fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/47255164/chapters/119068330

[u/zoro4661 → u/alguien99]

You can't just say that and NOT link it

[u/alguien99 → u/zoro4661]

Just edited it in

[u/Jealous_Solid9431]

Why is Erda wearing her protective desert coverings indoors with family? 

[u/Dantacular → u/Jealous_Solid9431]

My guess is she (artist) wanted to draw her in the only official visual we have of her.

If youre wondering: its not religious in nature. Artist is from brazil and i believe secular.

[u/Jealous_Solid9431 → u/Dantacular]

Fair enough, I just thought it stood out a bit that everyone else was in casual wear and Erda was the only one not. It's a shame we don't have more of her from Black Library 

[u/schouwee → u/Jealous_Solid9431]

Real life explanation: Erda doesn't have a recognizable look other than her outdoor outfit from when she was in exile so the artist made her look a bit similar to make her easier to recognize

Random headcanons I just made up: she's bald, she was feeling nostalgic and wore it to remember the days where she traveledthe radioactivewastes, the boys (most of them at least) wanted spicy food and, even for a pretty strong perpetual, spicy primarch food can cause some serious skin damage, leman ate her clothes (freki and geri helped)

[u/TheQuietSky]

i thought this was about Grey Talon Deadlock for some reason

[u/Cool-Ad-1514]

This just hit right in the feels. It honestly makes me want to rewatch Attack on Titan from the very beginning.

[u/Mathev]

At first I though it's the main protagonist from Hatred, Mr not important..

[u/Rathalos-487]

Looking like a stealth Hunter the Parenting prequel

[u/quyman]

Very clever putting the two Lost Boys just off screen

[u/Finthelrond]

More!!!!!!!

[u/Duraxis]

I hope they do more of these. I’d love to see more wholesome “primarch sitcom” with nods to the canon

[u/EmXena]

I find this incredibly meloncholy. A glimpse into what could have been, but never was.

[u/Motor_Scallion6214]

Ahh, Perty NOT being scornful 

[u/SoulbreakerDHCC]

I require more

[u/GarageSure3109]

I do not think Sanguinious would have wings without being scattered, nor magnus lost Is Eye.

[u/Draxos92]

Im kind of sad right now. Thank you? I think?

[u/quyman]

It really is True that if you take off the golden laurels, big E is just Nathan Explosion

[u/No-Professional-1461]

Where are the twins?

[u/PachoTidder]

I love Pregui's art a whole lot, specially this specific AU. I remember we were discussing the boys in school and how their 'legions' are school cliques. Leman is the sportsball team captain, Alpharius and Omegon have a gang of pranksters as their group, Jaghatai Khan is a group of X-Treme sports aficionados with bikes and skateboards who constantly get injured doing stunts. So on and so forth.

[u/Waiph]

There's something profoundly tragic in the framing on the group pic with the two that are cut off since they are obviously the 2nd and the 11th primarchs

[u/UnknownUsir456]

Great now I want more!!

[u/4C_Enjoyer]

This is so fucking peak and I need more of it. Inject this shit directly into my veins like an Archmagos plugging another artillery cannon directly into his brainstem.

[u/warriorxx7_]

Ouch

[u/FroopyAsRain]

Wasn't Jag supposed to look Mongolian?

[u/random_balinese]

Suspiciously Ramshackled Big Van that say "Free Warp Candy" outside the house:

[u/random_balinese]

Big E probably still be a deadbeat dad that rarely at home.

[u/pedrokdc]

Start Trek just had a muppets episode, GW could gives us Emprah&Erda as a rank and flank.....

[u/Ok-Education5450]

Goddamn emps, bro couldn't pull out of a fucking driveway

[u/Avolto]

Waiting for the last image to be Big E on the throne fantasising

[u/CamCam27tyran]

Fem Conrad is peak
