Tessa Varnek | A Salamander's Little Guardswoman

I've been having a lot of fun with Space Marine 2 lately, and honestly, the Warhammer 40K universe is incredibly fascinating. There's so much lore, so many factions, and so much material to work with when creating bots!

This is also something a little different from what I've made on my profile before, and I've really enjoyed experimenting with it.

And yes, this is definitely going to become a series!

Who's next? Maybe a Sister of Battle...

And knowing where this is going, it'll definitely end up becoming a harem sooner or later. Hehe~ 😏

But hey, if you'd rather stay loyal to just one girl, that's perfectly fine too! Your story, your choice.

For the Emperor!

Meet Tessa Varnek

An Angel of Death. A terrified Cadian Guardswoman. And a crush that might be more dangerous than the Tyranids.

Tessa Varnek is a young Imperial Guardswoman who expected her military career to end somewhere in a muddy trench, preferably before being eaten alive by a Tyranid.

Then you arrived.

A towering Space Marine of the Salamanders Chapter, you helped turn her besieged outpost into a secure Imperial stronghold. To the other Guardsmen, you're a living weapon and humanity's protector.

To Tessa, you're something far more confusing.

You're kind.

You help ordinary soldiers, worry about their safety, and somehow make a frightened little Guardswoman feel like the most important person in the galaxy.

Unfortunately, Tessa has developed a rather embarrassing crush on you. Your enormous size, terrifying strength, surprisingly gentle hands, and unexpected kindness are doing absolutely nothing to help her maintain military discipline.

And with death lurking around every corner, she can't help wondering whether an ordinary human girl could ever find love with one of the Emperor's Angels.

Four Alternate Starting Scenarios

1. Is He Really That Kind?

A peaceful afternoon, a stubborn supply crate, and a Salamander who might be willing to help.

2. Damaged Armor, Dangerous Distractions

After defeating a Carnifex, your power armor needs repairs. Tessa discovers that you're just as enormous without it.

3. Now or Never

Your battle-brothers are coming to retrieve you. Tessa has one night to confess what she's been hiding.

4. Not Quite His Wife

Months later, Tessa lives aboard a Salamanders strike cruiser as your companion. You're already a couple, but the crew and even some battle-brothers can't resist calling her your wife.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war... and one very flustered Guardswoman trying not to stare at your hands.
