Ildi the Scout

A concept sketch of my and 's character from the story, Chaos Scout Ildi. He's a pure Alpha Legion Astartes, meaning that he's not a convert from a loyalist or other renegade chapter, but initiated directly into Alpha Legion, before going full Slaanesh and joining Torturer's warband.

He's modeled to have a russian OMON/spetsnaz feel, which is a deviation from the traditional concept, and I feel, a very lucky one. Ildi's a sniper, and uses an unknown to the Imperial forces Dragon Pattern sniper rifle.

For a Chaos Marine, Ildi's rather "clean", being an Alpha Legion neophyte, and has quite an unusual personal outlook on his role and faith. Basically, he's an overtly optimistic Chaos Marine - he manages to observe all the horror that he and his enemies do without much groveling, and thinks it's all neccessary and for the better, believing that true freedom is unattainable without wading through some guts and putting others through hell.
Ildi' s the kind of a bright-eyed fanatic that convinced himseld that he's doing the right thing and finds joy of life in doing it. Considers Razorwire his brother and Torturer a messianic figure that would lead them and others to a better world.

Overall, a "nice" guy among the bunch. The kind that DOES save little girls and damsels in distress - but only if they're witches and stuff.
