Spiritual Leaders of the Chapters
Psychological profiles of the "holy fathers" whose seed is implanted into recruits:
😇 Sanguinius
Beautiful winged martyr. Followers particularly note his "angelic beauty" and golden locks. Died defending the Father. Canonized. Cult includes drinking his blood and ecstatic seizures.
🦁 Lion El'Jonson
Literally "sleeps in a dark room" for 10,000 years now. Followers are obsessed with finding "fallen brothers". Dark dungeons. Secrets. Closets. Many closets.
🐺 Leman Russ
Half-naked in animal pelts. Feasted with brothers. Growled. Wrestled. Disappeared "searching for something" — nobody knows what. Still searching.
🦾 Ferrus Manus
"Iron Hands" — literally. Despised his own flesh. Was beheaded by a brother during conflict. Followers inherited trauma bonding through violence.
🔥 Vulkan
Cult of fire and forge. Hugs his sons. Immortal — no matter how many times he dies, he returns. The most tactile of fathers. "Daddy".
🐦⬛ Corvus Corax
Pale. In black. Hides in shadows. Keeps saying "Nevermore". Disappeared into a dimension of horror, muttering about his sins. Followers inherited depression and secrecy.
🧱 Rogal Dorn
Pain cult — the "pain glove" was his invention. Built walls. Loved order. Presumably dead — only his hands were found. Followers keep them as relics.
📘 Roboute Guilliman
The only "normal" one. Wrote the rulebook for everyone. Sleeps with an elf — the only hint of heterosexuality in 10,000 years. And this caused a scandal in the community.
Known Organization Branches
🩸 "Blood Angels"
Cult of the beautiful suffering martyr. Members particularly note the "angelic beauty" and long golden hair of the founder. Practice ritual communion with his blood. Fall into ecstatic states, losing control.
✊ "Imperial Fists"
Ritual infliction of pain as a path to enlightenment. Use a special "pain glove" for self-mortification. Strict domination hierarchy. Unconditional submission to elders is the highest virtue. No safe word.
⛓ "Iron Hands"
"Flesh is weak and disgusting". Aesthetic of metal, leather, and chains. Practice voluntary removal of body parts and replacement with mechanisms. The less "contemptible flesh" remains, the higher the status.
🐺 "Space Wolves"
Half-naked muscular men in animal pelts. Communal drinking in the great hall. Growling and howling as ritual elements. Display of physical prowess, wrestling, abundant physical contact between brothers.
🏍 "White Scars"
Leather gear, iron horses, brotherhood of the road. Wind, speed, freedom — but only with brothers. Ritual scarification of the face as a mark of belonging and initiation completion.
🔒 "Dark Angels"
Pathological secrecy. Main obsession — "fallen brothers" who must be found at any cost. Dark dungeons for "enhanced interrogation". Inner circle of initiates hides truth even from their own. What's in the closet stays in the closet.
👶 "Emperor's Children"
Literally call themselves "children" of their father. Started with innocent pursuit of perfection. Ended with complete loss of boundaries and obsession with sensations. Escalation. "Try everything". Stopping is no longer possible.
👑 "Ultramarines"
"Model sons", father's favorites. Wrote the code of conduct for all other brothers. Genuinely convinced of their moral superiority. Other branches quietly hate them.
Ritual Practice and Attributes
⚔️ Sacred Vestments
Power armor — tight ritual garments emphasizing hypertrophied male form. Helmets hide the face but not the body. Pauldrons enlarged to absurdity — marks of status and belonging. Purity seals on chains. Tabards and capes — over armor, not instead of.
🎖️ Hierarchy of Initiation
Scout → Brother → Sergeant → Captain → Chapter Master
Each step means new rituals, new "organs", new obligations. With each promotion — deeper into the organization. No exit. Only death. Or worse — another unpainted box in the closet.
⚰️ Dreadnoughts: Eternal Imprisonment
Brothers whose bodies are worn out but who are not released. Placed in a metal sarcophagus. Awakened only for battle. The rest of the time — in oblivion, in darkness, alone with memories of millennia of service.
"Even in death, I still serve the Father."
🔱 Symbolism
Two-headed eagle — doubled imperial masculinity. Skulls — everywhere, death cult, memento mori. Chains and seals — bondage aesthetic renamed to "sacred bonds of purity".
Apostates and Their Fate
About those the organization calls "fallen" — brothers who stopped pretending.
• Brothers who asked questions
• Brothers who wanted more
• Brothers who chose themselves over the Father
• Brothers who stopped suppressing desires
The organization has hunted them for millennia. With special cruelty — toward former members.
In 10,000 years of organizational history, one (1) case of heterosexual interest among senior leadership has been recorded: Roboute Guilliman and the eldar Yvraine.
Community reaction: scandal, outrage, accusations of "heresy" and "betrayal of ideals".
In an organization where thousands of men have lived together for centuries, bound by the seed of one father, it was heterosexuality that proved unacceptable.

• Don't try to argue about the lore — it only strengthens the cult bond
• Suggest alternative hobbies — anything that doesn't require painting miniatures for 40 hours
• Find out how much money has been spent. Prepare yourself mentally
• If he says "it's just a game" — it's too late, he's already rationalizing
• Remember: leaving the cult is possible, but getting the money back for the miniature collection — no longer
But if you have a daughter...
Closed female institution. Religious ecstasy. Communal rituals. Self-flagellation. Latex. Oil. Fire. Fanatical devotion to each other and the cause.
Expert recommendation: Do nothing.
But if you have a mushroom...
Silicon Valley microdoses them for productivity. Wellness influencers put them in $12 coffee.
The Orks just cut out the middleman.
WAAAGH! is what happens when your adaptogenic mushrooms achieve critical mass and decide capitalism was a mistake. "Red goes faster" — because belief shapes reality.
The investigated organization demonstrates all signs of a destructive totalitarian cult with elements of: trauma bonding, isolation, homosocial environment with ritualized exchange of bodily fluids, hierarchy of domination/submission, and quasi-religious practices.
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that this system was developed by British men in the 1980s for distribution among teenage boys and is currently sold in retail stores as a "tabletop game".
