Vulkan: Perturabo, your armor is impressive.
Perturabo: I didn’t make it to impress you.
Vulkan: It’s a work of art all the same. But why is it so large?
Dorn: To help carry that massive cross.
Dorn: *says anything*
Perturabo: I just did some calculations and I’ve been able to determine that you’re full of shit.
In principle, this can be reduced even to this:
Dorn: *exists*
Perturabo: You’re full of shit.
Alpharius and Magnus sell NFTs. Konrad eats people who own NFTs. Roboute and Rogal are trying to pass legislation to outlaw NFTs. Leman, Mortarion and Perturabo buy NFTs.
I like the idea Rogal Dorn looks East Asian/Siberian and tans easily when exposed to sunlight and other radiation.
And the reason he looks white in official art is historical misremembering and the citizens of different planets wanting their saint to look like them. Same with Sanguinius (who could actually change his appearance).
Statues and paintings of him must look different on every planet.
The Emperor saw the value of diverse looking and shapeshifting Primarchs so far as they served his ends. It helps Imperial unity to have a Primarch for everybody.
