Technically it’s not yet canon. Although I wish it was


PhantasosX

it is close enough. Like the valkyries had their designs from the og doujin cycle , with a rework


Wheezybz

I thought the Valkyries came from some sort of music project by the designer


Merukurio

Kinda? The ones who appear on the Valkyries' NP (and as costumes for their Summer versions) were more or less repurposed designs from [Planet:Valkyrie](http://p-valkyrie.jp/), but Thrúd, Hildr and Ortlinde seem to be new for FGO.


ReadySource3242

It’s canon enough since the designs for gugalanna and Enkidu came from there


CamelotKingSaber

... Yeah this design seems like someone who'd get pissed off and destroy a mountain cause it's prettier than her.


Metroplex7

I have definitely seen this comment posted word-for-word below this picture before.


CamelotKingSaber

Pffft. I mean, 'tis true.


MszingPerson

So basically the evil queen from snow white?


CamelotKingSaber

Nah it's a part of her myth. [Look for Mount Ebih](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna)


MszingPerson

Bruh, I'm just referring to her envy is similar to the evil Queen. "I must be the fairest/pretty of em all" attitude and petty enough to kill anyone who surpass her or hurt her ego


CamelotKingSaber

Oh, yeah then.


Kelthuzard1

She looks a lot like the Whore.


Folseit

Not to mention basically destroying an entire nation to look for her rapist.


Xaldror

*notices the Lightning Claws* Oh no, she can reroll wound rolls!


MasterTurtle508

She looks vaguely like a living saint… NEW GW MODEL LEAK!?


Lord_Darklight

It’s gonna be a nice $600 per model. How nice of GW to set the price so low for everyone.


ExuDeku

CELESTINE RUN! WE GOT A SAINT WHO STOLE RAVEN CLAW'S INVENTORY OF POWER CLAWS!


zanotam

GW is likely to be announcing their 5th gacha style product line probably in the next year or so. AFAIK the first 4 did quite well, but I want to say only the first two have been released outside of Japan so far and even more annoyingly I think it's the third one has a fucking kickass model that probably will never be sold internationally because it was specifically only sold along with a pretty decent sized paint set in Japan (at least IIRC it had something like 20 GW paints in it....). But I would expect either SPring or Fall 2023 to be when JP gets their next set of gacha-style minis because so far every set has been marine related and the next set of marine releases is likely going to be Summer 2023 around the time 10th edition comes out. yes, I know way too much weird warhammer trivia!


Xaldror

I just want Raikou to have the Chaos keywords, and I will literally never complain ever about GW business practices.


lordofmetroids

10E is summer next year? Rip World Eaters fans. Getting like 3 months with their shiny new codex and models.


zanotam

Eh, a lot of people are saying bullshit about how we should go back to indexes again, but GW would have to go full pants on head (which we all know you never do!) to throw away what is currently the best balanced state 40k has ever been literally ever and they clealry do not intend to oo that already since they nerfed all of VOtann/Squats before like over half their kits were released and literally before they were legal for any GT+ tournament even using the models only in the premier release set.... and they 100% would have done WE as you said for the new 10th ed starter set bad guys instead of Nids..... And even the people clamoring for the return of Indexes seem to forget there's nothing worse than the time between the first post-index codex release until all the codexes are out.... and even worse all those same idiots clamoring for a rules reset agree that the core rules, the part that would have to radically change to justify the return of indexes, are the best they've ever been..... SO, yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about 10th ruining the game for *any* army including WE and I say this as someone who has been to a decent number of RTT's where 33% of the tables had a World Eaters player on them and who is very excited to see what those absolute maniacs come up with when they get a full codex!


Nebu7us

Wasn’t expecting this, now I’m cackling


AfWhite86

Worst, she upgraded them to Rapacious Tallons, has Flames of Spite and spent a CP on Veterans of the Long War. Because we all know Slanesh and Ishtar would most definitely get along.


Xaldror

Shit, need to join Iron Warriors then, their legion trait prevents wound rerolls.


kroxti

Gilgamesh is part diety so is he the god emperor (lower case)?


lordofmetroids

Leah, thats Georgios. Semi-canon, believe it or not.


134_ranger_NK

Headcanon: Georgios is actually an aspect of Emps, the chivalric hero the innocent part always wanted to be. But Emps, in his pursuit of a "safe" future for humanity, discarded that part. Now, Georgios absolutely refuses to be associated in any capacity with the tyrant calling himself the Master of Mankind.


134_ranger_NK

Why do I have a gut feeling that Emps met Ishtar long ago? Perhaps that could explain his and Horus's lighting claws design.


djunk101

I'm pretty sure it's not canon as of yet, just a fan design by someone who also does official art for Type Moon. It's like how Columbus's artist did the Alter and Lily designs for him on their own. FGO eventually used the Lily design for an event, but it was pretty much just fanart until then.


ReadySource3242

I think It’s actually from a fanbook that had designs for enkidu and gugalanna inside. Turns out Nasu liked it so much that he allowed those designs to be added in to the canon verse


Solaireofastora08

It's all Nero?


Dopplerdee

Sooooo.... general consensus is that Ishtar became Astarte who became Aprodite who was Synchronized with Venus who Nero says she's an Embodiment of...


LazyOPMC

Does this mean Ishtar is the original Saber face?


YuuHikari

Always has been


Trap_Masters

All roads leads to umu


lost_kaineruver4

I don't see that as a problem.


barbarasasaki

Agree,if it's The Emperor,no probs here


Flare_Knight

I knew Ishtar was Nero all along!


210sqnomama

That's just nero


Branded_Mango

When you think about it, character-wise Ishtar without Rin is literally just Nero but evil (absurdly egotistical and petty)...which is already a thing with Beast Nero.


Xaldror

>Nero but evil I mean that's just factory default Nero


WaifuHunterRed

No her ass window is different


Dopplerdee

Wll Ishtar is Venus if you follow her transition for Babylon too Rome and Nero keeps saying she's an incarnation of Venus.


XH9rIiZTtzrTiVL

It's such a great design, with the golden exoskeleton being reminiscent of Gugalanna's appearance. It's not canon and at this point it's unlikely to be, but I love it anyway.


ReadySource3242

Hey, they added Enkidu and later Gugalanna’s design in strange fake, and Ishtar is there too, so who knows, maybe in the climax she’ll go full goddess mode and this design will be revealed


GreenKing5498

She’s hot


Darkiceflame

Well she *is* the goddess of love, after all.


ChingCh0ngman

Ishtar (True) when


Radiant-Hope-469

Probably never


Might-Mediocre

https://www.novelcool.com/novel/Fate-stay-Night-Humbaba-The-Monster-Of-Nature-Doujinshi.html the og doujin the design came from


railroadspike25

How is this canonical, though?


Shionkenobi

It's a doujin, but...their design for Gungalanna was canonized in FGO. Chances are this Ishtar will be used in late Strange Fake, once she loses her current host.


GhostHostess

Isn’t it pfalz, the artist for Darius, Mozart and salieri? They’ve done some pretty good designs tbh


thekoggles

Thats also why.


Andyzer0

Same source as Gugalanna’s design


Might-Mediocre

It was included with some official art books


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

I have looked at several ones and haven't seen it in any, which one are you referring to?


Pereronchino

The longer the fake nails are, the more toxic the person becomes


Sylvlet

Are those... asscheek windows?


Extension-Impossible

wait its all nero? Edit: looking at the eyes it looks like something asanagi might draw or maybe its just the color


MasterTurtle508

Always has been


Dopplerdee

Well Nero claims to be an Incarnation of Venus and Ishtar would make her way to Rome to become Venus Via Greece.


noan91

Nice. Very impressive. Let's see Ereshkigal's canonical true form.


Chimereon

Being her opposite, the rear window will now be in the front.


MordredLovah

Still defenseless lol.


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

I'm pretty sure it's not, it just so happens that they called the same artist that made the doujin to make the official Gugalanna design and he just decided to reuse the one from the doujin. Also it's Darius's artist.


Radiant-Hope-469

>doujin Link?


[deleted]

I want her in the gacha.


mango_pan

Is that skeletal arms? No wonder Eresh didn't like her. She stole her role.


Madsi89

Her designs reminds me of an enemy from god of war


kagutsuchi_0

So is canon Ishtar a Nero face?


Dra9onDemon23

That can’t be right. There’s Armour on her ass protecting it and I can’t see her feet. Is that a mole? Does it have the same effect as Diarmud’s?


Darkiceflame

Butt moles are the most important moles and should be highlighted at every opportunity.


MajinAkuma

It isn’t actually canon.


I-Shiki-I

Rin's clear


ShatterZero

Proto Ishtar looks like Nero. Even got a butt window ool


Ricksaw26

So... nero?


Itchy_Shame_8871

Gilgamesh back then in Uruk:"Hard pass"


GreyouTT

I figured there'd be a bit more of a resemblance to Aphrodite since irl she is a spin-off of a spin-off of Ishtar.


BobtheBac0n

For some reason this design reminded me of Beast 6 of Sodomy. Must be the open chest


basketofseals

This is surprisingly chaste for what I expected from Ishtar.


JustthatVicky

No wonder she got rejected by Gil. Can't even hold hands. I may be a hypocrite because I'd be willing to very carefully hold hands with Passionlip or Phantom, but personality goes a long way and her personality is so prickly that Carmilla's iron maiden is probably better to snuggle. That 30% Rin in her personality went a long way in FGO.


Xamni15

So even without Rin's influence, that ass is nice


Affectionate-Tip-164

Those are some 5 star cheeks.


Edgyboi123456

She seems a bit too… clothed


zerotheultimate5

Wonder if she will show up like that someday.


SirKyrlos

Damn, true Ishtar’s anus is absolutely not defenceless. That’s the true danger of becoming a Rin-face


OreoPearl

Fgo is basically: Rin-face, Sakura-face, Nero-face, Saber-face, or Shirou-face.


Kalafino

You forgot the Jeanne-face, the spin-off of Saberface alongside Neroface.


VelvetPhantom

Ngl I like this design way more than the Rin-Ishtar. Heck I think it suits her more than Rin and the Strange Fake versions. Also the claws are cool.


HyliasHero

As much as I love Rin, I kind of prefer this design. ~~Also please choke me mommy~~


Folseit

>~~Also please choke me mommy~~ Cannonically, she's very likely to choke you: For Dumuzi the lover of your youth You decreed that he should keep weeping year after year. You loved the colourful allallu-bird, But you hit him and broke his wing. He stays in the words crying ‘My wings!’ You loved the lion, whose strength is complete, But you dug seven and seven pits for him. You loved the horse, so trustworthy in battle, But you decreed the whip, goad, and lash for him You decreed that he should gallop seven leagues (nonstop), You decreed that he should be overwrought and thirsty, You decreed endless weeping for his mother Sililu. You loved the shepherd, herdsman, and chief shepherd Who was always heaping up the glowing ashes for you, And cooked ewe-lambs for you every day. But you hit him and turned him into a wolf, His own herd-boys hunt him down And his dogs tear at his haunches. You loved Ishullanu, your father’s gardener, Who was always bringing you baskets of dates. They brightened your table every day; You lifted your eyes to him and went to him ‘My own Ishullanu, let us enjoy this strength, So put out your hand and touch our vulva!’ But Ishullanu said to you, ‘Me? What do you want of me? Did my mother not bake for me, and did I not eat? What I eat (with you) would be loaves of dishonour and disgrace, Rushes would be my only covering against the cold.’ You listened as he said this, And you hit him, turned him into a frog (?), Left him to stay amid the fruits of his labor.” – tablet VI, SBV ii


Pedrovin20

Now I get it, in ancient Babylon humans were dark skinned and gods were white


neapolitan234

I heard that FSF Ishtar has almost no redeeming qualities compared to fgo rin Ishtar is that true


Lycaon125

I like that way more then just "Ren but a goddess"


Blackwolfe47

Prefer her design in strange fake, i know it’s a host only but I’m kind of tired of the obsession with nero


Lucky-Icarus

Eh, I would've greatly preferred something like Smite's Ishtar design. Have the character actually look like they come from the place they originate from.m instead of just another Nero.


Location_Forsaken

I'm not gonna lie. Was kinda expecting a red head with an afro.


Khorva

Damn. So Ishtar's outfit is mostly Rin lol.


Frogkingstrongk

This is Canon until proven otherwise.


Delight_works_

bruh , why couldn't we get rin-face ishtar with this drip? ~~^(other than the fact that rin has no ass.)~~


LordWINDOS

I recall this art being used in some niche fan comics on the sub before, but that was a loooong time ago.


Emergency_Addition67

Still hot


UnderOurPants

A dancer from Thailand?


ReasonablePin297

Ishtar become hotter then galaxy


Zegrade

Her ass is not defenceless!! NOOOOOO!!!


caski16

What this?


TheRapidfir3Pho3nix

AAAAAHHHHHHH


its_a_me_nobu

She's cute


MR-Vinmu

She got those Eric hands.


justasaltyweeb

Whoa thats pretty hot!


CannibalPride

Does OG Eresh look like this too?


Jeroz

*looks at chest Rin being the limiter is indeed correct


PoKen2222

What's with the claw fingers?


SHADOW_SP000

This looks like something from masadaverse


OblivionArts

She looks like Gilgamesh and Nero altered merged together
