Description
After three books about Cain's adventures I must say that Ciaphas is the luckiest man that ever lived in Imperium. )And so the idea for this picture was born. )

Cain was known to the Emperor, even before he was brought before the Golden Throne. The Emperor saw the young boy in the scholam and said, "This little shit is going to do great things in my name, whether he wants to or not."
And the Emperor's will was done.

Caiphas Cain; the patron saint of sarcasm, dumb luck and getting into way too much trouble.

And Jurgen.... the saint of B.O., lice, and psychic blanks.

So long as Dan and Sandy don't do a Cain/ Gaunt team up the universe will survive.... but it would be awesome to see.

the bigger the mans hat, the more important he is

Yup. Even pauldrons are not so important. Real men wear BIG hats.

no doubt, if you think of it, gaurdsmen are actually braver than space marines, as the marines get half a tonne of armour and a small missle launcher as a gun, while gaurdsmen get wet cardboard for amour and the standard set of steel clankers.
god help us all if the gaurdsmen give the marines a pair that clank

He needs rules in the game that reflect his luck.

In Dark Heresy he'd have 999 (regenerating) faith points. But the tabletop WH40k... hm, I guess it'll be (1+) invul save or something.

THE HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!
This makes me want to read the Ciaphas Cain books SO mUCH.

Go on and read them. ) Those are good books.

You missed Jurgen. He is walking plot armor, bestowed to Cain by God Emperor himself.

I guess Jurgen is the Emperor's son in disguise. Or the Emperor himself in disguise.

Remember the fluff stated that the Emperor is actually formed by thousands of powerful "shamans"? So I guess after 50,000+ years collective soul council inside him decide to get rid of the tiny, mean looking bit of soul that none of them liked
Got to admit, there's some resemblance between Jurgen and big E since both of them doesn't do much talking, and have horrible hygiene

Then He really had a wicked sense of comedy, just like Cain says.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He has the devil's luck if you ask me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In Dark Heresy he would have over a hundred Fate Points to burn... daily!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. ))
That, or he'd have a (1+) invul save. )

That's only on the TT WG, though I think "Old One Eye's" save is better, "when reduced to 0 Wounds lay target on side and roll a 1d6, if 1-3 stand back up with 1 Wound remaining." They turned Commissar Yarrick into a fucking Necron lol

I'm trying to remember if he ever had a laspistol at one point. 
Well done on this!

Amberly Vail remarked several times on how good he was with a laspistol, firing on opponents accurately well beyond the stated effective range of the weapon. He also commented several times on how he was so used to the weight of the laspistol that upgrading to a hellpistol or bolt pistol would throw off his reflexive aim.
All images of him on the covers of the books are supposed to be IG propaganda posters, or posters for hololith vids about his exploits. This also explains why his appearance varies so much from book-cover to book-cover.

Ah! That explains it! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, he carried a laspistol. He even slept with his laspistol lying nearby, 'just in case'.
Thanks. )

I do like the Cain series, though the protagonist is at time insufferable, ha.

oh.... what does it mean plot armour anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'Plot armo(u)r' means that the author of the book 'helps' his main character to avoid death no matter the circumstances.
Like, 'He was surrounded by 20 traitor's tanks and two squads of chaos terminators, there was no way out. But a bright star appeared in the sky - it was an orbital bombardment, which killed all his foes in one strike'.

well you can sorta tell he'll survive in the books really because it's his memoirs, but when does he do something to save Cain?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehh, it's just a figure of speech.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay....are you going to be doing more Cain pictures any time soon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe. Can't say for certain, because I have no idea when I'll be able to get enough free time.

hey that plot armor is useful, i mean heck all i need to do in a tactical situation is deploy cain then tell him to run away and i will win.
