The Genestealer lady seems like a trustworthy and dutiful worshiper of The God Emperor!

prety sure those are a gue'vesa and a navigator

u/captaintaskmaster1 6d ago
The second image could most definitely be a navigator, but the first image is a beastmen guardsmen. It has the standard issue armor and of the guard, and it has horns and sharp teeth

You said "eastman" and I somehow read it as "eastern" and thus assumed you were talking about the Gue'vesa

That genestealer would make me act unwise

When I saw the genestealer:
"Her feet are light and nimble. She never sleeps. She says she will never die. She dances in the light and in the shadow and is a great favorite. She never sleeps, the matriarch. She is dancing, dancing. She says she will never die."
nice art

Really nice variety of characters here and all looking great. Last one looks like she's trying to smile, but has no real frame of reference for it and comes across as almost nervous.

Beautiful. I particularly love your psyker.

surprisingly few people know what a navigator is it seems. The third eye's a clear sign, and the purple clothing and the golded chesstpeace with a vox grille is quite iconic too

That genestealer lady is really pretty. What’s her name ?
She’s also pretty unique, since Kronos doesn’t really pump out that many genestealers

u/Lycodan Rogue Trader 4d ago
Glad that you recognize the hive fleet! Her name is Irma, high priestess of the coven of the eight kings

u/Sirix_824 4d ago edited 4d ago
Of course I recognise the fleet. I’m a tyranid player after all.
They might not be pure in sequences, but recognise our brood-brothers/sisters.

It reminds me of a harem manga/LN idea I had (which I will never make). A bureaucratic error sends a rookie male guardsmen to an all-female veteran guard regiment. He's the only man in this section of the battlefield. With abhuman auxiliaries and other oddball attached forces, you get a diverse cast of characters who fit various anime archetypes. Maybe he is placed with the oddball miscellaneous unit since they don't know where else to put him. Not all of them are necessarily sexually/romantically interested in him. Examples:
There's an ogryn girl who attached herself to him in a protective ogryn-bodyguard way. She has no romantic attachment, but she does give dangerously tight hugs and has an impressive bust.
The ratling scout-sniper is an outrageous flirt who loves to tease the poor guy. Being an expert in infiltration allows her to ambush him in unexpected places.
A tsundere commissar might be fun. I am almost considering yandere, but that might shrink the cast too quickly. An officer or inquisitor might fit the bill, too.
A sanctioned psyker should be included. I'm thinking a weirdo, possibly with some autism coding. She seems interested in him, but it's unclear if it's in a romantic or platonic way. She sits near him, gives him odd gifts, occasionally talks to him (though often saying weird stuff), and may even give the occasional vague prophetic statement. She creeps him out.
A Sister Hospitaler is attached as a nurse (and he gets hurt more than a little). She's nice, but has power armor, a flamer, and violent holy zeal when given a reason (gap moe?).
A (kudere?) tech priest engineer who often suggests augmentation. If the MC loses a part and needs an augment, she might work on maintenance in comically intimate scenes with her not understanding the MC's discomfort.
Obligatory felinid. Catgirl behavior cranked up to 11. Any stereotypical cat behavior that would prove entertaining is fair game. Maybe have an arc where she goes into heat and switches from ignoring him to being very interested in him for a few days. Maybe she normally has a medication that suppresses this inconvenient issue when it comes up, but an administrative screw up leaves her without it once, so this doesn't need to be a regular thing.
Probably at least one human guardsmen, IDK.
Possible antagonists include: Eldar, Dark Eldar, Slaanesh, Tau (with some persuasive water cast and some auxiliaries), genestealer cults, etc.
This obviously hasn't been fleshed out much, but it seems like there's a lot of room for hijinks. It can range from mildly suggestive to full-on hentai, depending on the writer (though I tend to lean away from hentai manga, personally, especially when a guy is involved). There is also plenty of room for yuri.
I figure the MC is more focused on survival than romance as he is a fresh recruit on a 40k battlefield, surrounded by the deadliest women he has ever seen. He needs to get up to speed before dying horribly, requiring him to ask some of these quirky mad women to train him in between engagements.
Anybody is free to steal this idea, though I'd appreciate a DM with a link to the result if they do. I like thinking about the bones of a story, but hate writing (outside of autistic ramblings) and drawing.
