    Default "Real" Space Marines

    It's well known, that I am not a big fan of "dress up" I just don't get it. BUT these suits are without doubt all 7 shades of awesome.

    Shame they couldnt have the green all the same colour, either way they look nice for what they are.

    I'm particularly impressed that they managed to convey the sense of breadth and still fit a real person's torso and shoulders in there.

    Highlights for me how much the backpack looks like it will mess with a person's center of balance as it looks too highly placed on the regular figure.
    If this is the way mankind ends up, I'm rooting for the Orks.

    Well they do have stabilising jets on the back-packs to keep them upright!

    I really hope you know most of the "jets" are really intake and output vents for cooling the small power-plant that the suit's backpack really is.

    They do have stabilizing jets, though. You remember that GW exploded diagram of Mark VI armor, right?
