I'm Doing My Part For Managed Democracy! (Sci Fi WIP) (Patreon)
Content
Hello!
The first Sci Fi WIPs are here! As usual, some updates including high resolution turntables not shown on patreon. Community members can access it in the usual way. I'll send an email out just to be sure.
So Helldiver fans, it's been a rollercoster of a ride this past week hasn't it? 😅 A greedy cor- I mean the Bots tried to infiltrate Super Earth but managed democracy prevailed! Bravo to the fanbase for pulling together so effectively! 👍
So onto my take for the Helldivers. The suggestion was specifically for the DP-53 variant costume but I'll be have the standard type of helmet of well. I was also told that the Knight SMG comes with the DP-53 so I'll be including that. The shotgun was another popular item so that will be part of the Helldiver's arsenal.
And as a special treat, I'll be adding a Dizzy Flores version to join the Helldivers. Dina Meyers was part of the last Sci Fi release and since HD2 is a spiritual successor to Starship Troopers she'll fit right in. A serendipitous opportunity! Truly the Force works in mysterious ways. 🤔
Next up we have Shadowsun from the T'au Empire, also known as the Spearhead of the Greater Good. Now as a Space Marine fan, I always find it kind of awkward when the fanbase votes for T'au as I hate doing nice things for them. Especially Shadowsun since she is quite the thorn for the Imperium.
How you might ask? Well, during the Damocles Campaign, she was camping and sniped off the Raven Guard Chapter Master (what?). Then two Space Marine captains got the jump on her but SOMEHOW, she got away. Sure, writers, sure. I'd sooner believe Abaddon is a competent villain. I guess Shadowsun stole the Smurfs plot armor when they weren't looking. Or maybe it was Shrike's hair. He couldn't see what he was stabbing at. On a more serious note, someone please change Shrike's hair. It is always the butt of the jokes.
Anyways, I'll just go to my happy place and imagine the community voted for anime mecha or something. 😊 So Shadowsun comes with her own specialized XV22 Stealthsuit and two fusion blasters. I'll also add some wargear variants to spice things up. You can also field a Gue'vesa pilot instead or as the Imperium likes to call them "filthy traitors to humanity".
Okay, next up the Eva-01 (an anime favourite of mine) and Paul Atreides of Dune fame. Stay tuned!
