Didn't one of the GW writers make a character who was basically an OC donut steel who went into the warp and carved his name into the heart of one of a Daemon prince or something retarded?

>>52058133
Kaldor Draigo. He is made by Matt Ward, what do you expect.

>>52058174
That's the one. I do remember finding his in game rules a pretty interesting implementation of the trapped in the warp thing, but his lore was just so retarded.

You, sir, deserve a successor chapter. Based on Calixian worlds, of course.

>>52058485
Would you please link me to info about the void star, and write me a brief synopsis?
You have my interest.

Enslavers. They mind control psykers and turn their bodies into fleshy warp gates. Shame GW hasn't done anything with them in many years.

relic of the lost yu'vath empire, in the halo stars. each of these little jewels can rejuvenate the wearer, but then they slowly change the mind and body into an insectile monstrosity of unparalleled power, speed, cunning and insanity. Even killing, if not immediately followed by destruction of the body, can bring forth the next metamorphosis, reaching the final form. During the slow process, you awaken memories of alien civilizations, and a taste for flesh.
Killing a third-phase halo device host is really fucking hard, they can regenerate even from charred remains.

Not exactly 40k per say, but this story comes from when the Warp was explicetly shared with Fantasy and Chaos got to take space guns and magic swords from one to the other.

In a comic a man is born fully-formed from a corpse in the snow. He seeks out a battle raging and kills the leaders. The mob annoint him with the armor of the ones he killed, then he sets out seeking an enemy he knows is out there to kill.

Finally, he reaches the warrior and their warbands fight. The young protagonist kills the older warrior, leaving their warband to fight among itself over who is the new leader. The protagonist leads his warband for many years, until a young warrior seeks him out. The protagonist realizes it is his own past self, who kills him. Then from the old protagonist's corpse, he himself is born fully formed.

Khorne created this time loop for lulz.

>>52060884
You mean that comic that got posted on /co/?
Sigmar's light help me.

>>52060884
Cycles of Chaos. I remember that one.
He also breaks the time loop at the end and demands they ride South, implying he's going to ravage the Empire.

>>52060912
He goes south to be killed by his past self, who went north.

>>52060700
are there any stories about this?

Lucus the Eternal maybe.

The entire setting could have just ended right there.

Not much, but both Rogue Trader and Dark Heresy detail this, and the places where it comes from. There's even a short adventure with a halo device-controlled enemy.

Ghoul Stars. Definitely one of the spookiest places in the Imperium.

I gotta say the penitent engine is up there for most brutally imperial thing in 40k, despite the fact that it's prisoners and heretics who suffer from it.

>sexy naked women screaming in agonizing pain
Check
>grotesque depiction of medieval era torture with a futuristic twist
Check
>guns and whirling saws all over the place
Check
>no protection whatsoever for the person strapped in
Check
>100% mortality rate, essentially an execution sentence
Check
>triggers feminists
Double check
>pretty much defines what the imperium is like

Yea the penitent engine is easily top 3 in my books
