Description "It was simple in design, really. A 3-D mechnical puzzle, where the cube had six faces
and fit into the palm of the hand. A pivot mechanism enabled each face to turn
independantly, the puzzle only being solved when each face became a solid colour.
The concept was brilliant. Ingenious. Any Chaos marine worth his salt who solved Sudoku
on the weekend and had been running the same Risk campaign for the past decade could
finish this puzzle cube, right? Right?

Then why, Ahriman asked himself, why was it. So. Damn. Difficult?
It had been a gift from Magnus, wrapped up in a box and with a gift card attached.
It read: "To help you relax". Ahriman beginning to suspect the gift was anything but that.
The Warp overcame Ahriman as he realized the true meaning behind the gift. Magnus had been trolling him all along."

My friend asked for this a few months ago, finally managed to complete it inbetween all the hassle.

Still learning the ropes with colouring, some parts I am satisfied with, others I will need to work diligently on to improve. But for now, I'll submit this as it is and move forward.

*EDIT: Forgot to add the fine blurb of text Annemarie kindly wrote for me. Go team Failure.

Tried to, atleast. I take constructive critisism as tips, they're all useful in the long run.

I thank you for that, TD.

He gets it wrong too many times the cube goes "Lolololol, what, couldn't get past 'baby's first puzzle'?"

If he gets it wrong once after that, it goes "Bwahaha, dude, you suck hard. I've seen chimpanzees work better than you!"


Thankies, more on the way. Β΄:3

Thankyou, though there is always room for improvement. I've been doing greyscale and line art far too long, I need to branch out.

Rubric cubes are notorious for scrambling themselves if you're not careful.

Yeah, maybe... there's always room for improvement though.

YES! Take that Rubric's Cube! The scarab and god's eye on the cube are artful little details.

But Space Elf, where be the small blurb I wrote for this silliness?
