**Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image: *"Happy 40k-th Birthday, Daniel – May Your Cake Be Exterminatus-Free!"*

Create a surreal, hand-drawn style illustration depicting a chaotic battlefield floating in deep space, with planets shaped like layered birthday cakes drifting behind a fractured Warp storm. Towering over the scene, a Space Marine in full ceramite armor is using a bolter to fire frosting-filled rounds at a massive Daemon made entirely of melting candles and confetti. Servitors float nearby, holding giant birthday balloons marked "XL", while a Leman Russ battle tank crushes an ancient calendar inscribed “M41: Year of Daniel”. A tiny, angry Techpriest is furiously attempting to light 40 candles on a warp-ritual-turned-birthday cake shaped like a drop pod, which has just landed amidst the battlefield. Grimdark absurdity meets birthday joy, all soaked in hues of glowing neon purples and sickly yellows that defy logic—yet still whisper “Happy Birthday” through the warp.

Generated with these themes: Warhammer 40k, and 40th birthday.
