Great fun doing this, lots of different angles explored.
Parts used:
Plague Bearer upper torso, foot.
WFB Empire/mordhiem head/legs/pistol.
FW renegade IG arms.
IG Legs and kit.
Green stuff to taste.
Seeing those three sores as eyes and the belly button screamed 'mouth' so the parasitic twin was born. Kutoa lives!
extra arm was suggested for Claude. (I like the idea and a plastic nurgling kindly surrendered the necessary limb).
Anyway let me introduce: The Gut Lord Marchánt!
Claude and Lourdes Marchánt: born of nobility; cursed by mutation.
Their Grandfather had a penchant for the lower sprawl mutie madams, (‘degenerate sump sluts’ as their Grandmamma called them). He fell in love, took one as a mistress and had a son.
Bio screening showed the boy as being clear of any obvious mutation.
The son grew, took on the family business, married and in turn became a father.
Unfortunately, as mutations often do: it skipped a generation…
So when Claude Marchánt and his parasitic twin were born their grandfather’s little ‘indiscretions’ were given form.
The secret had to be hidden: The attending obstetric servitors had their minds scrubbed. The human attendants weren’t so lucky and were quickly dispatched by the villa security team.
To all in the Upper Hive: Claude and Lourdes of House Marchánt ‘died’ at birth.
The ‘boys’ were hidden from view in a vast secret network of rooms under the family villa and were cared for by their mother (when she could), house servitors, and members of the security team.
Their father loved them, but could not face the shame they bore so did not visit them.
They remained safe and hidden from the world for many years.
But young minds are inquisitive: they were desperate to see the Hive City and to experience all that it’s many levels had to offer.
On occasion they would venture out: cloaked in darkness and shadow to see the world. Their desire for new experiences grew and their ‘ventures’ become more risky and more dangerous.
Rumours grew; some said the Marchant Villa was haunted, some even whispered that the family had fallen in with some dark purpose. Questions were asked but were unanswered.
The boys’ ventures could not go unnoticed for ever: a fleeting Vid Pict in Sector 654 was their downfall, they were spotted in the proximity of the Villa.
Arbites from the local Precinct House were dispatched to investigate. The Inquisition were summoned. The streets boiled with the masses come to witness the event: Fear the mutant….cleanse the heretic!
Tainted is the blood....but the blood still noble.
The villa guard fought bravely, as did the boys’ father….buying them enough time to escape into the shadows, giving his life so that they may live one final act of fatherly sacrifice.....and love.
The House of Marchánt fell that night, ‘cleansed with righteous fire of the Holy Emperor’.
Claude and Lourdes fled to the Underhive.
Never alone and well skilled and trained from their years in the villa: they were able to gain access to the many hidden Marchánt supply caches hidden and set themselves up as privateers.
Bribing and sweet talking other mutants and gangs lower in the pecking order to join them on their little ventures through the Underhive and beyond:
