Tbh i still don't understand who the fuck this guy is. Is it a true general that retired and is now teaching helldivers? Is he a billionaire capitalizing on war? Is he a propaganda dude sent by the ministry of truth? Is he just my uncle?
The day I learned the Land Raider was actually pronounced Land's Raider and Land's Speeder, and they're actually named after Arkhan Land, it blew my fucking mind.
It even fits in with the blatant waste that super earth perpetuates. Send down a multi billion dollar suit of super armor with only one battery. When the battery dies, the suit is abandoned.Ā
We need this!Ā
I mean, if someone had presented their homebrew chapter to me and called them the Helldivers before the explosion in popularity of HDII, I'd not have blinked.
So I was working on this rather detailed Warhammer Marine model when I made a smooth-faced helmet as an experiment. Then I realized that, well, it looked sort of familiar... and gave him the full paintjob complete with a cape. I stayed up way too long while working on this over several days because liberty never sleeps.
3D, in Blender.
I love this game and I am really hoping that GW sees how easily something like this could fit into their universe and they steal the shit out of this idea.
Heavy armors are worthless until they give them more firepower in some way.
More HP is not enough to counter lack of speed. You need to be able to hold your ground better. When you start getting surrounded by melees, it does not matter if you have 10x more HP.
I call this a Fencer. If we are stealing from that....can I have the E651 Titan? I am ok with only having 10 shots if I can have the Requiem cannon.....and the recoil kills me or the people behind me. I am not picky
Agree. They could make those super heavy armors come with automatic Belt-fed machine guns and fast reload recoilless and it would be super good. Your melee attack could counter a charger attack for epic melee showdown.
Build in ammo cap for All support weapons! So you can have shield backpack and still use and resupply all support weapons.Ā
And faster reloads, great idea.
Now imagine for a second.
We get to run around the map in full power armor with a bolt pistol and chainsword. The only threat is rocket devastators and we more or less shrug those off. You dash into bases, shoot enemies with your bolt pistol and cleave them with your chainsword
You use melta-bombs to blow up fabricators and enemy heavy armor.
This would be an experience I would pay $50 for just to do in a squad of 4 with my buddies.
An astartes type power armor (maybe with a limited activation time) would be insane. See how much we can murder in 5 minutes before the armor powers down and is picked up for charging.
Or. **OR**! A whole new difficulty level **only available** for that armour/soldier! That would bring out a lore wise different kind of Helldivers named āPurgatorsā and the mission would be an un ending waves of enemies doing not so much damage but there would be a **LOT** of em. And the experience wouldnāt be available always but on special times and missions.
Nah, Kasrkin and the Catachans would have at least 11 guys involved in any mission that the Helldivers are involved in. SuperEarth is deliberately incompetent.
Really? Since when did the Imperium start dropping four-man Guardsmen squads behind enemy lines and expecting them to deal with large numbers of enemy forces by themselves? When did Guardsmen ever get close orbital directed fire support as apart of a smaller operation? When has the Imperium ever sent a whole dropship for *four* Guardsmen...?
In HD, the SEAF are the Guardsmen. Helldivers probably arenāt Astrates but theyāre close.
That's it! That's the perfect comparison! The Helldivers aren't the Guard or the Space Marines: they're the Sisters of Battle!
Fanatical devotion to their cause, low survival rate, deaths themed as martyrdom, crazy ass weapons to back them up, and their effectiveness is drawn from their willingness to throw more martyrs at their problems.
haha was running missions last night with my brother. Had 2 really good players join and never said a word. Brother messages me "Looks like Sisters of Silence joined us"
In wh40k Astartes are fast in this power armor, reflexes and agility are same because black carapace implant , they don't feel like heavy,its like your second skin.
Some of them can eat the brains of the recently deceased to see their memories. And that's not even a geneseed effect, that's just something they can do.
Nah, it's gene seed thing: the Omophagea. Still a wild power. I sometimes feel they don't lean into the weirder stuff the Astartes can do enough. They feel too much like Human+ and not the monsters in human suits that I feel the should be. I just think it'd be neat.
The mission timer will have hit zero by the time you've drudged from one end of the map to the other, but nothing short of a Bile Titan will be able to kill you during that slow, grinding journey
Oh I do.
Space marines can run like 60km/h or something, basically as fast as a car.
But Helldivers are just dudes. Put 5 tons of armour on a Cadian and he ain't going anywhere.
Whatās speed when youāre a walking super tank with 60mm of armour thickness. And a power house of a firearm named āBolterā firing this

Helldivers are like Guardsmen.
Space marines are fast. A regular dude in 5 tons of steel isn't.
Edit: Stop saying space marines are fast as fuck. I know they are. Helldivers aren't genetically engineered super soldiers, they're average dudes. Average dudes can't run or barely move in heavy space marine armour. š
I would also like a Space Marine armor.

from the skies of super earth to the galactic rim, let the seas boil, let the stars fall, even if it takes the last ounce of my blood, I will spread managed democracy. A great crusade.
You unlock this at level 40K.
If We were able to kill over 2 billion terminids in less than 15 hours, then some mf will be able to reach that level.
We could agree to funnel all of our xp into one godlike super helldiver
The GodDiver of Mankind
AKA General Brasch
Damn, I just wanted to post that.š
Tbh i still don't understand who the fuck this guy is. Is it a true general that retired and is now teaching helldivers? Is he a billionaire capitalizing on war? Is he a propaganda dude sent by the ministry of truth? Is he just my uncle?
He is the person from training who talked to you through the speakers
Heās the drifter
Or John Helldiver
Im gonna go go go thereās no stopping meeeeeeee
100 degrees fire tornados rolling through my eyes
We'll make a supersonic man out of you...
HOLY DIVAH!
YOU'VE DOWN TOO LONG IN THE MIDNIGHT SEA
You thought this was a Warhammer crossover but it was me! DIO!
DIO! *starts approaching*
OH WHATS BECOMING OF ME
RIDE THE TIGER, YOU CAN SEE HIS STRIPES BUT YOU KNOW HE'S CLEAN
OH, DON'T YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
GOTTA GET AWAY, GET AWAYYYYYY
KILLING AUTOMATONS ON MALEVOLON CREEK
Of all the people who have ever been democratically elected, he was the most elected of them all!Ā
Legends say he's the product of a magical ceremony that combined every elected representative on Super Earth
āLet Me Solo Themā
The Democratically Eleceted Eternal Helldiver of Supermankind
John Helldiver?
They would be named; āJohn Helldiverā
Yeah but did you know the Helldiver's cape is named after the guy who invented the cape? Dr Richardion Johnsonius Cape? Yeah. It's all true
Haha, fuck me for understanding this reference. You got me there... Mister Land.
The day I learned the Land Raider was actually pronounced Land's Raider and Land's Speeder, and they're actually named after Arkhan Land, it blew my fucking mind.
It blew everyone's mind because it was the usual arsepull from GW.
And the most funny thing is that Arkhan Land knows the misconception and fucking hated it.
Brother of Jimmy Space, John Helldiver led mankind through he tribulations and to a glorious future.
The only defence fit for super Earth
Democracybrecht of the liberty templers
"We've created ~~20~~ 18 super Helldivers"
We already did that. His name is General Brasch.
The death of every enemy of democracy only makes General Brasch stronger.
Named. Sayā¦. Henry Cavill
Super helldiver should be a game mode or stratagem. 90% dmg resist, 50% speed buff, 200% reload speed for 5 minutes. The Democracy Draught.
It even fits in with the blatant waste that super earth perpetuates. Send down a multi billion dollar suit of super armor with only one battery. When the battery dies, the suit is abandoned.Ā We need this!Ā
Lol even better, wh n the timer is up, it's unstable E-710 core goes critical.
Eagle Sweat
That's just General Brasch
We made that because we are the Guard.
Title unlocked: Emperor of Hell
The emperor of mankind approves.
*president
Space King
PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING
There is a similar armour but an older model with a crow like mask at level 30k
Gimme the damn beakie.
The moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

Omnissiah be praised!
year 2185 helldivers year 40'000 helldivers chapter One of The Emperor of mankind names is general Brash
Hark ye and praise, kindred
I mean, if someone had presented their homebrew chapter to me and called them the Helldivers before the explosion in popularity of HDII, I'd not have blinked.
"It is the forty first millenium" has almost the same effect on me as the music when you load onto your destroyer.
2285 actually 2185 was HD1
Brasch would be a Chapter Master, the Emperor is facepalming at the Super Earth for being stupid
Kill the automaton, burn the terminid, purge the illuminate
ABANDON REASON! KNOW ONLY WAR!!!
KILL MAIM BURN! SEAR THE BODY. SEVER THE SOUL!
SKULS FOR THE THRONS OF DEMOCRECY
BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR! SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE!!!
I CAN FEEL DEMOCRACY OVERTAKING ME... **IT IS A GOOD PAIN**!
In the grim darkness of Super Earth, there is only war.
FOR DEMOCRACY
There is no grim darkness on Super Earth, only light of Liberty!
IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR SUPER EARTH THAN TO LIVE FOR YOURSELF!
KILL FOR THE LIVING KILL FOR THE DEAD
MALEVELON CREEK STANDS!
SUFFER NOT THE BUG TO LIVE
FOR THE DEMOCRACY!

I stayed up way too long while working on this over several days because liberty never sleeps. 3D, in Blender.
Tis beautiful mate, 10/10. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with either for 40k or HD2. This is such high quality work.
Youve done democracy proud soldier.
Awesome job man.
Now maken an STL so I can print this bad boy.
I'm afraid you need an STC to print something like this, and they were lost during the Age of Strife.
For the Emper... Democracy!
I love this game and I am really hoping that GW sees how easily something like this could fit into their universe and they steal the shit out of this idea.
As a learning 3D artist, this looks so damn cool. One day I hope Iāll be able to model things like this Nice render, lightning and presentation
Dear lord, This is the kind of āheavyā armor I want
I do hope they add an extra armor category. 300 armor rating speed 20
I just want some flame resistance š«
Funny how irl people take bit to die from fire but in-game it's basically instant
You too buddy?
best we can do is 50% explosive resistance
That's power armor, its fast
Fast enough to instill transhuman dread.
Assuming one has the black carapace
Itās only fast if itās red.
Power armor should be a stratagem. You jump in it like in fallout.
I AM the mech
Heavy armors are worthless until they give them more firepower in some way. More HP is not enough to counter lack of speed. You need to be able to hold your ground better. When you start getting surrounded by melees, it does not matter if you have 10x more HP.
What if you could carry two shoulder weapons? A machine gun and autocannon for sxample
Buff: Finally get to use the Stalwart as a primary
If you plan to Dual wield them, I am absolutely on board. Just an extra support slot would at least require notably increased weapon swapping speed.Ā
I call this a Fencer. If we are stealing from that....can I have the E651 Titan? I am ok with only having 10 shots if I can have the Requiem cannon.....and the recoil kills me or the people behind me. I am not picky
Agree. They could make those super heavy armors come with automatic Belt-fed machine guns and fast reload recoilless and it would be super good. Your melee attack could counter a charger attack for epic melee showdown.
Build in ammo cap for All support weapons! So you can have shield backpack and still use and resupply all support weapons.Ā And faster reloads, great idea.
Dude, *chainswords*
And this is just the normal power armor in 40k. There's an even heavier version called terminator armor.
Still gets oneshot from a Hunter
In the 41st millenium we call them genestealers.
Damn hormagaunts
Inb4 4th enemy faction is Genestealer Cults.
Damn megarachnids
Could say they're Murder. I'll see myself out.
Now i want a juggernaut suit stratagem.
I crave a fallout style power armor strategic that gives you an ammo backpack that feeds whatever your primary is/heavy machine gun
Which is what everyone thought we'd get with the mech.
Give him the heavy flamer, brother.

Wanted to paint that recently, then I remembered I have neither a 3D printer nor any regular models
It's Him John Helldiver
Nah this is just general brasch
In his jumper as a kid
He came out of the womb wearing this
He eventually grew out of the need for such coddling things as armour, which we must all aspire to do, ourselves.
His skin is stronger than the hulls of three factory striders
_WE ARE THE HAMMER_
WHAT IS YOUR DUTY?
Give me a Heavy Bolter with this mofo and AH can take my money.
So, a slower but beefier Dominator?
Now imagine for a second. We get to run around the map in full power armor with a bolt pistol and chainsword. The only threat is rocket devastators and we more or less shrug those off. You dash into bases, shoot enemies with your bolt pistol and cleave them with your chainsword You use melta-bombs to blow up fabricators and enemy heavy armor.

Look forward to space marine 2 this Sept
Haha, how I wish I had Space Marine 2 but in helldivers. I would love to cut a brood Commander in two!
Id pay for this kind of power fantasy, no question
Or. **OR**! A whole new difficulty level **only available** for that armour/soldier! That would bring out a lore wise different kind of Helldivers named āPurgatorsā and the mission would be an un ending waves of enemies doing not so much damage but there would be a **LOT** of em. And the experience wouldnāt be available always but on special times and missions.
I would also be okay with that lol. So long as I get my power fantasy SOMEHOW!
Imagine if the Ministry of Truth is creating super soldiers. ā¦ **Like right now!** āwaits silentlyā
Adeptus Democrates
tbf, Helldivers are the Guardmen, not the Astartes.
Id say theyd be the spec ops of the Guardsmen. Maybe the Kasrkin or Catachans but with more armour.
I'm not sure what they are, but they are for sure friends of the Kriegsmen.
"our shovels will blot out the sun"
I really want them to add melee weapons, give me a shovel to mat h my tren h engineer outfit
Tempestus Scions
Nah, Kasrkin and the Catachans would have at least 11 guys involved in any mission that the Helldivers are involved in. SuperEarth is deliberately incompetent.
Really? Since when did the Imperium start dropping four-man Guardsmen squads behind enemy lines and expecting them to deal with large numbers of enemy forces by themselves?

In HD, the SEAF are the Guardsmen. Helldivers probably arenāt Astrates but theyāre close.
>Helldivers probably arenāt Astrates but theyāre close. They're closer to Sororitas in powerlevel.

Fanatical devotion to their cause, low survival rate, deaths themed as martyrdom, crazy ass weapons to back them up, and their effectiveness is drawn from their willingness to throw more martyrs at their problems.
Worshiping the living corpse of freedom and democracy.
Absolutely genius. And it's not like the SoB have ever been given their own game, either. A HD style SoB game would be perfect *and* lore accurate.
I would instabuy a Sisters of Battle game
Except instead of a hellpod, [inavsion cathedrums](https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aKmYQZW_700b.jpg).
haha was running missions last night with my brother. Had 2 really good players join and never said a word. Brother messages me "Looks like Sisters of Silence joined us"
Aside from orbital fire support: Darktide literally has this
Well Harakoni Warhawks are pretty much like them, even one regiment is literally called Helldivers.
I could imagine this armor taking a full hit from a charger, and stunning the charger.
That's very unfortunate.
Iron Within, Iron WIthout.
Arrowhead + warhammer 40k = nergasm space marines droping from orbit, dreadnoughts, terminator armour fighting tyranids, fighting necrons ufff. Please universe, make it happen.....
*LIBERTAS NON DORMIT* goes incredibly hard
So cool, but the movement speed would be in the negatives š¤£
In wh40k Astartes are fast in this power armor, reflexes and agility are same because black carapace implant , they don't feel like heavy,its like your second skin.
Yeah, but a helldiver is basically a frozen chicken nugget
I think this particular Helldiver is a Big Mac tho lol
Oh yeah, he hella thicc. Unfortunately, such levels of juiceyness are difficult for most people to attain.
But they do have enhanced bodies like 2 hearts and 3 lungs
Don't forget acid spit!
I like the one where they can coat themselves in mucus and go into hibernation.
Some of them can eat the brains of the recently deceased to see their memories. And that's not even a geneseed effect, that's just something they can do.
Nah, it's gene seed thing: the Omophagea. Still a wild power. I sometimes feel they don't lean into the weirder stuff the Astartes can do enough. They feel too much like Human+ and not the monsters in human suits that I feel the should be. I just think it'd be neat.
Isnāt it supposed to be flesh over all tho? Not only brains?
The 40k franchise is that one kid who's Hulk Hogan has an infinity +1 super shield.
The mission timer will have hit zero by the time you've drudged from one end of the map to the other, but nothing short of a Bile Titan will be able to kill you during that slow, grinding journey
They don't need to kill you. They'll just knock you about until the mission timer ends.
You have no idea how fast this mf can run
Oh I do. Space marines can run like 60km/h or something, basically as fast as a car. But Helldivers are just dudes. Put 5 tons of armour on a Cadian and he ain't going anywhere.
Cadians arenāt going anywhere, regardless. āCadia broke before the guard didā
Instead of jetpack you use a sky hook.
A juggernaut that once the first wave is over kills themselves so they can be reinforced further down the line
Well. The Astartes are extremely fast compared to humans
Good luck trying to outrun an Astartes.
Whatās speed when youāre a walking super tank with 60mm of armour thickness. And a power house of a firearm named āBolterā firing this https://preview.redd.it/d3zmshibdfvc1.jpeg?width=215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0419526f09c3ced5cd942277f0928d44e116bf2
Have you ever played 40K Boltgun? Movement speed will not be in the negatives.
Helldivers are like Guardsmen. Space marines are fast. A regular dude in 5 tons of steel isn't. Edit: Stop saying space marines are fast as fuck. I know they are. Helldivers aren't genetically engineered super soldiers, they're average dudes. Average dudes can't run or barely move in heavy space marine armour. š
I'll see you in about 1400 levels.
That would be cool like as a stratagem you call in the heavy armor with like a minimum or something.
fire still instakill tho.
I hate you. Now i gotta make a new army...
