Description ***Version 2 (much beter imo) is now uploaded*** - fav.me/d5mcerd

Playing around with some ideas for my unfolding 40k medical project, a Guardsman's/Medic's field dressing package with a 40k flavour. Still an experimental version, still playing around with different layouts, ideas and approaches etc. This is very much inspired, like the other documents in my gallery, by military items and material from WWI and WWII.

I try to keep the obvious grimdark stuff subtle, keeping all the ecclesiarchical stuff like gothic script and dribbly candles for the Space Marines.

A version of my original Caduceus medical symbol design is available to purchase on t-shirts, masks and more here: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/6400…

The most important part of any Guardsman's medical equipment is the instruction leaflet that tells him which prayer to recite to cure that bad case of missing limb

Incredibly cool work here, you've definitely got the mix of military equipment and Imperial faith perfected

Very true That's very kind of you, that's what I was aiming for. I went for the faith side a little more on version 2, or made it a bit more explicit. I try and write the stuff as if it was created by a real world Theocracy to try and keep the realism alongside the religiousy bits

No problem, your Medicae stuff is great at fleshing out the less explored areas of 40K while keeping true to the Guard "flavour".

"I lost a limb, but I gained faith, for I survived!" - guarented to make you feel better 99,9% of the time. If it does not, please report to your comissar for the summary execution, because you're probably a heretic. Have a nice day.

There is so much not-intended (from the fluff perspective) humor in the 40k... Good job on that!

This is just even more funny ofr me , as I know the ridiculous amount of ritual the Imperium uses, even though 90% of it does pretty much nothing.

Lithanies actually helps against demons/psykers. Helps to concentrate on one thing, and makes your mind less wunerable for temptations and mind controll.

Awesome, and thank you. I forgot how old it actually was now :/ Defintiely a good guideline and whoever did the medical bit has definitely read at least a bit of military medical field manual. I'm working on expanding that into a full Imperial Guard (and Navy) field manual and manual of surgery. Or at least i'll do bits of them, the bits that emphaise the unique-to-40k elements certainly

Nicely done, it does offer a unique look into the lesser know bit of IG lore.

Thanks very much, that's what I'm going for. I suppose my motto with my 40k stuff is "there's not *only* war, there's a sh*tload of bureaucracy too..."

Yep, makes me proud to know there are folks like yourself amongst the 40K fan-base.
