Cultist-chan
 | This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you. |
Cultist-chan is literally Hitler a young female member of a chaos cult who usually talks with a speech impediment. She is well known for her role in HS40K. Her original creator named her Cultist while most of /tg/ calls her Cultist-chan.
Absolutely. Godsdamned. Adorable. *BLAM* Heresy!
Recently another drawfag made a less adorable version of her.
No exceptions. Not even for Cultist-chan.
She is the definition of Extra Heretical.
Board Origins[edit]
Back when a particular drawfag was first taking requests (around 2007 or 2008), one anon, under the impression that he only did Warhammer 40k artwork attempted to trick him into drawing Vampire: The Masquerade artwork by requesting a “cute female cultist feeding waffles to a 3 headed chaos spawn”. The anon figured this would be close enough to the image he had in mind of a female tzimisce feeding waffles to a vozdt. The Vampire loving anon was satisfied and a handful more found themselves enamored with the purple haired, jaggedy-toothed gobshite, in spite of (or perhaps because of) her hideous speech impediment which mimicked the worthless cultist units from Dawn of Bald, an idea stolen from “Da Real World 40k”.
According to a recent post in a /tg/ thread, her creator said: "After the first one which was just the request, I did another scribble of a 40k slumber party. And one anon asked why the "cute cultist" wasn't at it. SO I drew the one with her at the telephone by way of explanation. This seemed to get her the sympathy vote, demand went up and soon Liebowitz was writing HS40K. He at one stage, refused to write the next chapter until I made art to go with it, and then a cycle began."
Physiology[edit]
As an adult, Cultist-chan stands at just shy of 5’4”. She appears undernourished and clad in rags, and based on color correspondence, seem to be hand-me-downs from her Sororita associate. She is believed to smell strange, but not actually bad, but that’s probably based purely on the how pious whoever can smell her is; to those pure of faith, she smells of filth and decay, to those devoted to chaos, she smells good, to those unsure of where they stand, she smells mostly of bacon, which may be for better or worse depending on how you feel about bacon. She has an excess of teeth, a majority of which are sharp and irregular in length but otherwise in good condition, as cultist dislikes sweet food.
She has cheesy lectoos of each god’s symbol on her. When asked why she got 5 cheesy lectoos instead of 1 chaos undivided mark, she explained that she didn’t pick them, and that she has always had them. Her marks of Tzeentch and Nurgle are on her stomach, left and right side respectively, her mark of Slaanesh is on her left thigh, her mark of Malal on her left forearm (usually covered by her arm wraps) and her mark of Khorne is, strangely, on the sole of her left foot.
An alternate theory is they aren't lectoos at all, and that she is the second of only two beings (after Abbadon) ever to bear the mark of all four Chaos gods. Just why in the Warp she would be granted such a privilege despite being basically a weak and unaccomplished cultist is anyone's guess, but perhaps even the Ruinous Powers have a sense of humor.
She also has other basic tattoos across her body. Her shoe size is 7 (because, you know, Nurgle).
Cultist-chan has 2 piercings on her shoulder blades that she hooks a large chaos wheel to, both as a sign of devotion and (speculatively) as a weapon, she has been seen wielding it as such in some pictures but is probably too weak to throw it any distance.
Name[edit]
Cultist-chan is tunnel-visioned in her devotion to the dark gods and considers her position to be her name. She sees herself as one of many, hence often saying “we” instead of “I”. Any name she ever had has been lost over a century ago.

Dranon's delight[edit]
A writefag or perhaps a series of writefags have been writing FATAL style, loli fapfiction for trolls. In them a loli Cultist-chan is usually placed in situations in which she is critically failing her anal circumference rolls. The story was spawned in a thread where fa/tg/uys speculated on Cultist and Dranon's relationship. Some writefag(s) read the topic and figured that it would make "great" fapfiction. Writefag made topic. A few fa/tg/uys fapped, many raged, and some raged AND fapped. A few that fapped requested MOAR, and, sadly, got more.

Warhammer Fantasy[edit]
Although Fantasyfags rarely use her, it's generally agreed upon that she would be a Hero level character in the Warriors of Chaos army, one who functions as a named Battle Standard Bearer (which is a thing that literally NO army in the game should EVER be without). Interestingly, Cultist-chan needs very little to be changed about her to fit in. Her clothing already resembles the clothing of Norse Cultists, her Chaos Spawn pet would make her fit right in with the dozen or so other named Viking characters with Spawn as pets, Her complexion and hair colors are perhaps the most radical things about her as Warriors are generally Scandinavian in appearance (the Kurgan and Hung would disagree). It can be handwaved however as manifestations of the Chaos God's gifts, with her bronze skin coming from Khorne and the purple hair coming from Tzeentch or Slaanesh.
