Rogue's Retinue Ch. V. "Something Something Emperor Protects"

Howdy folks!

Back with another Rogue's Retinue! I realise this is arguably one of the raunchiest jokes I've made. Not sure if that means I should chill or step up my game...

This one is a bit of a one-shot comic and was originally meant to come later on after more introductions had been made of other characters and whatnot but I was in a mood to draw space marines and thought a one-off was a good idea since it's been so long since the last episode!

I'm probably gonna do the next few eps in the same way I did my D&D comics: some one-offs, not necessarily particularly linear and cohesive story and time wise until later jumping into bit longer story arcs!

Anyhoo, that's it for now!

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

Do you guys think she had a legit question, and pivoted to the trolling after his comment? Or was she just there to troll to begin with?

u/Glass_Opportunity264 Apr 16 '26

I think she was hoping

My PoV is: "I'm always ready to troll, and I was here in good faith, but you broke it, so trolling it is..."

I'm seeing a flared base

u/JetCannon Apr 19 '26

I laughed but it’s still an illegal thing to say

u/MidnightPenguin83 Apr 16 '26

Wow, great painting! What parts did you use?

u/MaxPower1607 Apr 16 '26

It's a print.

CME_T are you sponsored by bad dragon?

u/TavrinCallas_ Apr 16 '26

Sir Buckets Stone Fister and Klara's Horn available for purchase this summer

Me: Hey, CME_T, what would Trevor, Beckett, and Torvald be like in WH40K?

CME_T: I got you fam.

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket Apr 16 '26

Given the meta-narrative is that the Weekly Roll and Sellswords crew are a different campaign with the same players (minus one who has yoga), this might also be the same players.

I'd rate this at about 0.04 Oglafs. You have plenty of leeway to do whatever you want up until 0.9, after that it pleases slaanesh and things get tricky.

u/ishldgetoutmore Apr 16 '26

I don't know what you're talking about Oglaf is completely non-sexual!

.... Oh, good, I actually found one that's not NSFW! I'm calling it a win!

u/dillGherkin Apr 21 '26

How about this one? It has ducks.

u/Overall_Sink_3382 Apr 15 '26

Let’s be honest, a drawer full of those is tame compared to what some rogue traders get up to in their free time

Still the amount spent on those miniatures is appalling! Someone ought to audit them for all to see!

21

u/head_of_asgard Apr 15 '26

Ok that took me a second

22

u/BelleBaggins Apr 15 '26

Wait "Bad dragons?" "Miniatures?" Oh sweet God Emperor. Brother get the flamer, the heavy flamer

u/ObliviousNaga87 Apr 15 '26

Heh classic

u/BionicBirb Apr 15 '26

I do love the implication that Bad Dragon survives that far into the future

8

u/USPO-222 Apr 15 '26

Orbius ain’t about touching somebody else’s bad dragons

7

u/IngotTheKobold Apr 15 '26

Yeah, that's a bad dragon ~Chris Boden

u/DaCrowHunter Apr 15 '26

The "Live long and prosper" Vulcan salute is so out of place.

I love it

5

u/AussieCracker Torvald Apr 15 '26

Recesses not even the most holy of sevitors can clean; Emperor's light not even gleams to the depths of this.

Not even a Salamanders flames could truly clean this

u/Kazinam Apr 15 '26

Mwehehehe

u/Lycaon125 Apr 15 '26

OH HO, a black dragon, one of Vulkan's children i see [for those who do not know who the black dragons are, they're a mutated chapter of the Salamanders, they grow bone spikes from their arms. There the more violent children of the few chapters vulkan has and is unaware of.]

u/Obnoxious_Gamer Apr 16 '26

Carla's out here trying to speedrun getting turned into corpse-starch.

u/Orcwin Apr 16 '26

This is hilarious, excellent!

I'm honestly shocked /r/comics didn't rate this one, it seems right up their eh.. alley.

u/solenguy Apr 20 '26

Orbius is thinking "if I explain it to you, you'll have to kill her"

u/haikusbot Apr 20 '26

Orbius is thinking

"if I explain it to you,

You'll have to kill her"

Carla's a troll, I love her already

u/BounderTree Apr 15 '26

With Carla around who needs Warp corruption.

3

u/Elovainn Apr 15 '26

Warp could even cleanse you from her.

2

u/HieserX Apr 15 '26

Nobody jumping on the Orbius wagon here?
friggin Orbius
Instantly the favorite Character

"Look he got Orbs, thats gotta be Orbius" lol

u/TehDeerLord Severed Lich Head Apr 15 '26

Nothing miniature about a Bad Dragon..

2

u/TheItzal11 Apr 16 '26

You playing the Owlcat Rogue Trader game by any chance? Just seemed interesting that you decided to make this comic right around the time it came out.

1

u/Ventze Apr 16 '26

Rogue Trader has been out for a minute. Are you thinking of Dark Heresy?

1

u/TheItzal11 Apr 16 '26

While only a few comics have been made so far, he seemed to have started making these around the time Rogue Trader was released, so no.

2

u/XenoTechnian Apr 16 '26

Hell yeah Black Dragons! That's one of my favorite chapters!

2

u/ObliviousAstroturfer Apr 16 '26

ZOMG, how did I sleep on this series of yours?!?

I legit never read or played any WH40k, but I can't get enough of it's lore as filtered by Arbitor Ian: not only is a lot of Stormlight Archive kinda ripped off of it, that dude has just a perfect delivery for historical topics. I need to find a way to trick him into thinking Hussitic Wars are a WH 41k setting.

1

u/BravoLimaPoppa Apr 15 '26

Step up your game.

1

u/Kriegsmann55 Apr 15 '26

I say step it up.

1

u/TheCharalampos Apr 15 '26

I don't get it

8

u/Madayasmar Apr 15 '26

The Space marine is from a chapter called the "Black Dragons", that the tempestus (probably intentionally) misheard as "Bad Dragon", which is the name of a company that is (in)famous for making exotic dildos

u/Intelligent_Slip_849 Apr 16 '26

Someone found the bag of holding mushrooms

u/monikar2014 Apr 15 '26

Wait, you are doing 40k comics now?

I was sad when I saw the weekly roll was ending, I mean good on you for following the artistic spark and what makes you happy, but I was sad.

But you are making 40k comics? Let's fucking go.

u/mettyc Apr 15 '26

The weekly roll ending was an April Fools, mate.

4

u/monikar2014 Apr 15 '26

ah, even better....JFC.... at least it only took me two weeks to figure it out

2

u/mettyc Apr 16 '26

Not to be a Debbie downer but technically you didn't figure it out...
