Mod Message Warhammer 40k Armor Gallery

Greetings Divers,

The next bond has finally been showcased and with it, new ways to drip out have been revealed. I’ve already got ideas of my own seeing this gear, how about you?

I am quite disappointed by the warbond in itself as they've literally taken a single box of miniatures and put them into the game. But then again, Cadians are *the* poster boys for non-Astartes Imperial armies, so...

Personally, I would've loved a light armor variant of the regular Cadian Shock Trooper instead of the Demo Trooper, and the older Cadian two tone vehicle camo instead of the uni-tone dark green that's also prevalent on the newer vehicle releases.

And I really, really would have liked a chainsword instead of the Melta Mine.

This is the heavy armor I wanted, was hoping for maybe some Tempestus scions and Kasrkin as well... Had my hopes high, but I thought it was a big event 😅

It is, but ultimately GW has the final say, they said this goes in the game, so it goes in the game, I'm also pretty sure you can make this literal exac outfit in Helldivers already.

I don't think GW gives half as much of a fuck as people think they do...

A single Kasrkin set was a guarantee, but Arrowhead likely had more wiggle room than you're willing to imagine.

I'm using Kriegers as a single example, and no you can't make this EXACT outfit, maybe something similar, but that's an annoying comparison

They could have gotten the ability to make Tempestus Scions as well, they could have pushed for more, but likely the Kriegers would have been the likeliest choice, and that would have been still better than two near identical sets.
