Summary
All the fanarts presented are drawn by me and only by me.
In my work, I would like to see how the design of the primarchs would change if they landed on another planet.
The fanarts are made in chibi style.Series

Summary
Have you ever thought that Magnus the Red is not suitable for Prospero? The Warhammer authors are very fond of all kinds of references to different cultures and eras, but the very image of the Crimson King refers more to Scandinavia than Egypt and the countries of the Middle East. The name Magnus, although it has Latin roots and means “Great”, was common among the kings of northern Europe. The nickname Red can be considered a reference to Eric the Red, the famous Scandinavian navigator. Magnus' single eye is a reference to the god of the Scandinavian pantheon — Odin, a magician and a warrior. By the way, Odin is accompanied by crows, as well as Magnus, by the way (he was able to curb his magic when he received a bird statue gift from Tzeentch).
What if Magnus the Red had ended up on cold Fenris instead of warm Prospero?Series
