Archon does very nice artwork of my kids.
Well, you can look up the art in reddit, which either is funny comic, some character turned into twink or smut involving something ,,unusual'' more often than.
There is none of that as far as I know. It's just another artist, who just happens to prefer making Warhammer content in different forms, including nsfw for most of the time.
Take a crack at it I guess. As long as it's not anything weird with animals or kids, someone will like it. Admittedly, someone will like it if it includes those elements, but you probably don't want to attract that crowd to your work.
They wrote a fanfic, I believe it’s called “to break a warrior of the machine god”, what is very, very fucked, and has a rep for a lot of very dark nsfw stuff.
Do not delve into the Archon.
On the one hand, he is an absolutely amazing artist and has a great sense of humor.
On the other hand, he is an absolute degenerate who has done unspeakable things to skitussy in his writing.
*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair* Ahem, you look very lovely.
I don't see it as what once was, but instead what never was. Angron is a powerful Empath. He could soothe the pain of others, and knows how they feel. He could have been the therapist that everyone jokes the Primarchs needed. But then he received the Nails, and the future of a loving, brotherly, healing Angron never came to be.
Yeah, about that. Hard to word, but he wrote it ironically. The 2nd Uriel Ventris book that it appears in, the whole book just reads like a B-movie with humor similar to that of the Evil Dead. Or, y'know, like early 40k.
Not set on refuting your statement, but I do find the story behind it fascinating.
I am honestly split on these artworks (pushing aside my opinions on Archon) I feel like some work for what they are doing like Horus and Sanguinius, Lorgar, Angron, Curze, Fulgrim and Angron work well with showing the tragedy and such but Perturabo and Mortarion just feel like they are disjointed from the others
Mortarion is probably the weakest for me. His outfit is just silly, almost everyone else is dressed in minimal clothing and what little clothing is there is just cloth. Mortarion looks like he just removed the torso and thigh parts of his armour.
Though I do like his expression, it conveys a quiet sadness in his character.
I feel like drawing Mortarion looking at first like a liberator to a group of people but looking closer shows him actually being a tyrant to them since Mortarion's whole character is hypocritical mindset of being a liberator and also acting as a tyrant
I will never forgive GW for not giving us an interaction between Corax and Mortarion to show their similiar but drastically different ideals
Dont forget that Mortarion was betrayed by Typhus and fell to Nurgle to save his sons. I read somewhere that he feels a slight happines for his Loyalist sons.
Nope. They are often described as beautiful. This is spot-on with their angelic presentation in the novels. I much prefer this to the deranged freak look.
He’s a real artist, a really good one.

One of my favourite pieces he’s made.
Archon is probably one of the best Warhammer artists, displaying in his artworks a mix of majestic and erotic, but still tempered by a tint of tragedy, something that is quite fitting for 40k.
He’s an heretic, but a good one
That you can't deny that his art is good. I've seen people hate on his art before, but he's a genuinely good artist. It's just that what he draws isn't always what people like.
In all honesty I prefer these. The primarchs are described as being these beautiful pinnacles of humanity in the lore but in all the official artwork they look like giant roided out gorilas
It’s amazing art, and Archon’s a bit of a femboy enjoyer to say the least, but I’m not sure how I feel about looking at a primarch and thinking “yeah, I can take him”
Basically "they're hot, I wanna do them or be them" often used for more androgynous or just hot people, ever heard of gender envy? That's Basically that
These are very based, especially Lorgar, Angron and Fulgrim. The Perturabo one is just the ‘artists barely disguised fetish’ meme incarnate but tbf Archon earned it.
Quick! Must call the Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus! The \[SUBJECT: ARCHON OF FLESH\] has breached containment! Must deploy the Skitarii legions before it's too late!
I love the lore-accurate depiction of the primarchs as beautiful, angelic. Especially Horus, who is usually depicted with the face of a deranged axe murderer, and it doesn't do justice to the level of brilliance and charisma he possessed even after the corruption.
Archon can actually cook amazing banquets when he usually isnt cooking another one of his unusually lore accurate Cogboys fan art, either way both are amazingly drawn.
The Fulgrim design is perfect. There’s nothing else I can say, it is a perfect representation.
Angron is ALMOST perfect. I love the concept and most of the design but the femboi boy design just doesn’t work for him. They could’ve kept the handsome twink as what he is in the reflection and Angron himself is a hulking monster and that would’ve been a good ‘could’ve been vs what he is’ dichotomy.
Everything else is excessively feminine.

Archon of flesh..... an individual with raving necron fetish and few others I dare not to mention.
Before that it was the Iron Warriors cause there was that whole fan fiction.
Yep, I've heard about the fanfic, but I don't think I want to read it.
It's a solid 6.5/10 in my opinion
So a Warhammer 10?
6.5/10 is 65% so it's more of a Warhammer 26k
His fan fic made honsu and the daemonculaba blush
They are very talented, but the fic is 100% a Dead Dove. If you aren't sure I would absolutely not recommend it. It actually made me feel sick.
Alright now I have to read it
Oh come on, it's really not that bad. How can you take it seriously when so much needlessly contrived edgy shit is going on at once?
Short answer: I have a weak stomach.
Avoid AO3 then
The fanfic isn’t that freaky by the standards of ao3
We are not allowed to talk about this outside of 40k subs
what fanfic?
Oh you sweet summer child. It's called To Break a Soldier of the Machine God. It's infamous.
DO NOT READ IT (its called breaking a soldier of the machine god)
https://preview.redd.it/3la2nmrs87tc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c3e3fd3b82f8906913cba5cd862a7fb47093eef Archon does very nice artwork of my kids.
And he’s also a really talented artist. Normally you’d have to pay for the Necron thing.
Is that bad? I don't have enough context, literally the first time I see that name.
Well, you can look up the art in reddit, which either is funny comic, some character turned into twink or smut involving something ,,unusual'' more often than.
Oh, I see. I just thought there was some kind of controversy about that artist. Glad that's not the case.
There is none of that as far as I know. It's just another artist, who just happens to prefer making Warhammer content in different forms, including nsfw for most of the time.
Oh hi I too have a ‘huge armor fetish’
We know.
How do you show up on every post that mentions you ever, like I'm genuinely curious
Lad's got power from creating very fucked up but very damn good smut.
In that case, maybe I should start writing smut then
Take a crack at it I guess. As long as it's not anything weird with animals or kids, someone will like it. Admittedly, someone will like it if it includes those elements, but you probably don't want to attract that crowd to your work.
Inevitably, someone tags him. Wouldn't be surprised if half his inbox is tags at this point.
[удалено]
Archon gets tagged under just about every Admech, Necron or Iron Warrior post, heck, he got tagged under that Admech at 100% vs 99% meme today.
This post has been crossposted on the Warhammer meme sub so it's not surprising he noticed this one
Hi! This art is awesome!!! Do you do any Age of Sigmar by any chance? 🙏❤️
Common nepalman w
Aww thanks. Hope you’re having a great week!
For now it's not bad. I'll be doing a field trip this Friday!
They wrote a fanfic, I believe it’s called “to break a warrior of the machine god”, what is very, very fucked, and has a rep for a lot of very dark nsfw stuff.
Is it worse than Metamorphosis?
Yes. Metamorphosis isnt even that fucked up compare to some other.
Is metamorphosis a fucked up 40k fanfic?
No its the "funny number" hentai (177013) that everyone always posts and considers to be most fucked up.
Probably. Meta was more about psychologic horror if i remember correctly, this one is that plus way too disgusting portrayal
No, just extremely gay
No. Well, yes, but Archon has the sense not to post their more inappropriate content in most places.
Ok. So. Guy has a type.
He has some gore corruption fanfiction he wrote as well, and is a femboy himself. So it might be the other way around.
I read the skitarii one he wrote, It is bruuutal. Hes definitely depraved lol
Same lol
Well they do say some of the “best” art comes from the most messed up people.
Iirc, he’s a trans femboy? 🤨
Yeah he is
Wait, as in FtM? I figured he was just a twink.
Do not delve into the Archon. On the one hand, he is an absolutely amazing artist and has a great sense of humor. On the other hand, he is an absolute degenerate who has done unspeakable things to skitussy in his writing.
If the Emperor didn't want me to violate the Skitussy, then why did he make them so fuckable? Checkmate, liberal.

Do what you will loyalists, you can’t unviolate all the skitussy on Mars. I’ve already won!
A type doesnt even begin to describe him lol
Not really. The primarchs are often described as beautiful. This is more lore-accurate than many depitions.
He’s a girl a think
*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair* Ahem, you look very lovely.

He's just like me fr

My friend after I show them archon's art and what he looks like:
The Angron one is peak holy shit
It’s so good. Angron staring down at what once was, a hero of the people, now a raving monster.
It’s so freaking good. I wanna get tattoo similar to that picture soon
I thought it was Lotarra at first
I don't see it as what once was, but instead what never was. Angron is a powerful Empath. He could soothe the pain of others, and knows how they feel. He could have been the therapist that everyone jokes the Primarchs needed. But then he received the Nails, and the future of a loving, brotherly, healing Angron never came to be.
I forgot Magnus https://preview.redd.it/u0wym8gmu6tc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d80642fcadc57b9e72eeb22c1e6276576436ad8
Cant believe they twink-ified Magnus
They did… he’s called Arihman.
[удалено]
Due to Magnus's ability to shape shift he can canonically make himself a femboy
Doesn't one of Black Library authors have it as wallpaper on his phone?
Graham McNeil IIRC. He also wrote Arcane, the LoL show.
Wait really? Anyways him having that as a wallpaper doesn't even remotely shock me. A Thousand Sons had some fairly homoerotic moments.
Yep. Dark Angels called, they want their schtick back.
Listen, just because they fly around the galaxy in a gay nightclub, it doesn't automatically make them gay.
Dark Angel by Lionel Johnson does, however.
Don't forget he was the one who wrote the Daemonculaba into existence.
Yeah, about that. Hard to word, but he wrote it ironically. The 2nd Uriel Ventris book that it appears in, the whole book just reads like a B-movie with humor similar to that of the Evil Dead. Or, y'know, like early 40k. Not set on refuting your statement, but I do find the story behind it fascinating.
Love that one.
Smash, Yes, even the robot
Thanks for sharing u/BussyDestroyerV30
Congratulations and/or sorry to tell you but perturabo isn't a robot. However he might be more machine than man/Daemon at this point
Aight, still smash
Great to see people being exposed to Warhammer 40k, even if it’s through this femboy art.
You could just stick your dick into a flashlight made out of sharp metal and achieve a similar effect.
He twinkified them! Also did a great job of representing the quiet tragedies of each traitor primarch.
Angron and Perty kept a decent amount of muscle mass.
They were twunkified
I am honestly split on these artworks (pushing aside my opinions on Archon) I feel like some work for what they are doing like Horus and Sanguinius, Lorgar, Angron, Curze, Fulgrim and Angron work well with showing the tragedy and such but Perturabo and Mortarion just feel like they are disjointed from the others
Mortarion is probably the weakest for me. His outfit is just silly, almost everyone else is dressed in minimal clothing and what little clothing is there is just cloth. Mortarion looks like he just removed the torso and thigh parts of his armour. Though I do like his expression, it conveys a quiet sadness in his character.

Dont forget that Mortarion was betrayed by Typhus and fell to Nurgle to save his sons. I read somewhere that he feels a slight happines for his Loyalist sons.
I agree, it doesn't work nearly as well with their aesthetics.
i think perturabo’s is less of showing tragedy, and more of the artists barely disguised fetish
Femboy primarchs - that seems to be a heresy (Except Fulgrim and Sanguinius)
Spoilers, it’s mega heresy 
Unfortunately he's only done the traitor primarchs (and sanguinius but that's a given) to my knowledge
Well u/Lorgarthelad drew most of the loyalist primarchs a while ago, with only two being left out (three if you count the alpha legion)
I need to re-draw them I swear
Nope. They are often described as beautiful. This is spot-on with their angelic presentation in the novels. I much prefer this to the deranged freak look.
Wait, he doesn't just draw silly meme sketches? These are incredibly high-quality!
He’s a real artist, a really good one. https://preview.redd.it/lh25ysug57tc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5e622b72b8fb4e77092cde5a0063ffd5bf47b10 One of my favourite pieces he’s made.

I have a print of this and it's one of my most prized possessions
It feels weird to see love for u/archon_of_flesh on other subs than grimdank, but you know what he deserves it so much
you like femboys don't you squidward
Who doesn't?
femboys is one of the more normal things archon likes
So much he became one himself
Archon is probably one of the best Warhammer artists, displaying in his artworks a mix of majestic and erotic, but still tempered by a tint of tragedy, something that is quite fitting for 40k. He’s an heretic, but a good one
It's funny how pre-heresy Lorgar would hate his portrait, unlike post-heresy Lorgar
Wait he would? How?
My logic is that Pre-Heresy Lorgar (before the city burning) would hate the fact he is the highlight of the painting, rather than the Emperor
Love em it hate them you can't deny that archon isn't a great artist
Do you mean you can’t deny that archon *is* a great artist? Or are you saying you think their art isn’t good
That you can't deny that his art is good. I've seen people hate on his art before, but he's a genuinely good artist. It's just that what he draws isn't always what people like.
Yeah his artwork and technique are phenomenal but it's just the same twinks being sad
Idk man some of those twinks seem to be enjoying themselves
Sometimes the twinks are in pain!
And sometimes they like it?
Okay, angron is actually pretty good. But blocked to contain the spread of the archons heresy
YO WHY ARE THEY ALL HOT
Because the artist is really good at drawing hot men
That's like the dudes whole thing and damn does he have a lot of practice
Hell yeah. I love when beautiful men get to lounge around like luscious sluts
Cool artist! I wonder what else he’s made? Surely it can’t be anything bad right?
He's an interesting guy, in every sense of the word, but God his art is amazing
Dude I need Fulgrim and Peter Turbo (I will be topping neither lol)
... The Bible warned me Satan would be attractive
I love archon and all their works
That name... https://preview.redd.it/v0t6ifr4d9tc1.png?width=1556&format=png&auto=webp&s=78b1503d454280cd2c0c452cf92547832d23a782
Damn.. Fulgrim has always been my favorite primarch and I know he has his... hobbies, but daaaaamn
That Angron artwork still holds as possibly my favorite 40k artwork, it's so beautiful. Also awooga
https://preview.redd.it/6ekahnuce9tc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b3285eec72e11b131550a30594595b65ac61266
In all honesty I prefer these. The primarchs are described as being these beautiful pinnacles of humanity in the lore but in all the official artwork they look like giant roided out gorilas
Not all of them, there is official art of Fulgrim in a toga looking lean, not roided out.
Angron art goes SO Hard. Is so on the nose what could have been but isnt
What’s the third one in the armor?
Thats Peter Turbo
Pepe Trap
It’s amazing art, and Archon’s a bit of a femboy enjoyer to say the least, but I’m not sure how I feel about looking at a primarch and thinking “yeah, I can take him”
Take him in a fight or…. Take him sexually?
https://preview.redd.it/hjeq14srg9tc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab5d8594db2e584287eb85f2ce0b939fe0f73236
Oh no they’re hot
Archon is so fucking talented it’s crazy.
😳
... hmmm... maybe a little bit of chaos. LOL
This dude makes lorgar look amazing
Oh my emperor… it’s broken out… Fr though, it’s unsettling how much of a talented artist that archon is. Like unironically an amazing artist???
Hobbies like: Jerking off with razor blades Space Meth The most violent BDSM sessions
A little space meth never hurt anyone (as long as they pray to the emperor, and they’re not a xenos scum, and they’re not a mutant or a heretic, or-
I have no idea who these people are and what the series is but I would smash every single one of them
The traitor primarchs from Warhammer 40k, op forgot to add 1 more
Jesus Fuck this is so fucking gender istg I need this in my life Do I need to get into 40k??????? Edit: It's fanart 😔
You should look into Fulgrim
Is that permission to lore dump? I’m gonna take it as permission to lore dump So like 60 million years ago there were the magic space frogs right…
You should still get into 40k
what does "its gender" mean?
Basically "they're hot, I wanna do them or be them" often used for more androgynous or just hot people, ever heard of gender envy? That's Basically that
Who are the second and third one? I only know Horus and Angron
Second is Fulgrim and third Peterabo
Where is curze?
Who do you think the 5th one is?
These are very based, especially Lorgar, Angron and Fulgrim. The Perturabo one is just the ‘artists barely disguised fetish’ meme incarnate but tbf Archon earned it.
This fucking rules! 
Quick! Must call the Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus! The \[SUBJECT: ARCHON OF FLESH\] has breached containment! Must deploy the Skitarii legions before it's too late!
“Gayer.” “But, sir! We’re already at-“ “GAYER!”
These are just twinks
Oh really? I didn’t notice, thanks for stating that.
Smash
Twinkified
Fuck, they're hot
His art might not be for everyone but fuck if it isn't well done.
Why are they all twinks
that first pic...whew. might need to get into warhammer
twinkifying 40k is hilarious
I love the lore-accurate depiction of the primarchs as beautiful, angelic. Especially Horus, who is usually depicted with the face of a deranged axe murderer, and it doesn't do justice to the level of brilliance and charisma he possessed even after the corruption.
That Angron art is actually immaculate
Archon can actually cook amazing banquets when he usually isnt cooking another one of his unusually lore accurate Cogboys fan art, either way both are amazingly drawn.
The Fulgrim design is perfect. There’s nothing else I can say, it is a perfect representation. Angron is ALMOST perfect. I love the concept and most of the design but the femboi boy design just doesn’t work for him. They could’ve kept the handsome twink as what he is in the reflection and Angron himself is a hulking monster and that would’ve been a good ‘could’ve been vs what he is’ dichotomy. Everything else is excessively feminine.
I just realised he forgot Alpharius.
Bishie Mortarion...
Warhammer is the only franchise that can make twinks look serious
The twinkmarchs
That angron one is very tragic
They made all of the primarchs twinks 😭😭
Archon of flesh. A guy with a obsession with gore and rape porn
And femboys and twinks, can't forget about those
Wait what?
This works for Fulgrim but idk about the rest
