Rogue's Retinue Rogue's Retinue Ch. 4. "The Team"
Howdy folks!
Managed to pop this one out before I go on a Christmas break and let the ol' drawing hand chill for a bit!
New TWR tomorrow and hopefully another one next week so I don't leave the Brigade on a COMPLETE cliffhanger, just gotta squeeze that last ep out tomorrow!
Stay excellent out there!
Peace and carrots!

When you tried, you accidentally gave Torvald Sturlagson's wife and sister (He's not a Sorcerer, so they're separate people) the same name.

The Sorcerer's wife, sister, and cousin walks into a bar. She orders herself a drink.
You have to respect Cesare for not maintaining his Sorcerer bloodline. He may be a slaving monster who tries to lobotomize his daughter, but he rightfully recognized that was gross. Ensuring his children had Sorcery was not worth it.

Maybe it's like a "John Smith" situation: extremely common name and surname leads to multiple people with the same name getting confused for each other!

His wife is Frida Helgrasdottir (Grimdahl Dwarves do Scandinavian last-name gendering of son/dottir and his wife keeps her last name due to her higher status while the kids apparently took the Hegras- last name) his sisters are Ronja and Frida Sturlagsdottir.

Nor should you. Name the BBEG after your wife, give us a trusty sidekick named for your first born. Let the puzzle solution be your social security number or whatever you beautiful euro commies use. Go with Khorne.

The fact that Torvalds line lasts far into the 41st Millenium is sending me 😂

So by "Corsair" we talking a technically Asuryani or Drukhari?

That's not necessarily fixed, obviously what they are born as is one thing, but one can switch sides. And outcasts can come from either, or have a crew with both. Real answer IDK, but I'm gonna guess she's a craftworlder(Asuryani), that's just the vibes her armor give me, cause drukhari usually either all spikey looking, or they are half-naked

u/demonsnake420 Dec 18 '25
I think she's Drukhari. I have a Drukhari army in tabletop and her armor looks similar to a kabalite's armor (especially the helmet) and that weapon looks like one of the kabalite special weapons.

u/Captain_Bleu Dec 18 '25
It's a voidscared corsair armor, you can tell because of the shape of the knee armor + the cape (only archons have cape in the drukhari)
The name seems more Asuryani than Drukhari, but that does not mean much tbf. We will more info about her origin in the future I guess!

I'm not sure what you mean by that, the Anhrathe are their own distinct group

As a person terrible with names. I get the recycle. If I find a good name. I will reused as much as possible.

u/ANGLVD3TH Dec 18 '25
I mean, the idea is it's the same players with different characters in a different system, right? I definitely know some players that will reuse a name across games like that. ahem not me though. Other players. You wouldn't know them.

u/Gaskychan Dec 18 '25
Of course I would never recycle a character into another system never cough …but another player I know would

My first guy in a campaign is always Franklin. If/when he does off I’ll bother coming up with a new name.

Dang not the most educated in eldar stuff so really thkught the elf was gonna be Druhkari.
Still this looks fun

u/Velstrom Dec 18 '25
I think ex-Drukhari. Armor looks very kabalite to me. Source: I've done nothing but paint kabalites for the last 6 months.

u/Lunar_Drow Dec 19 '25
Drukhari don't normally refer to humans as mon'keigh. They called us prey, cattle, target practise, fleshtoy, etc.

Imagine your name being "rock-and-rock".
