This is not the true story on how the Space Marines made their new Invictor Tactical Warsuit. But it will probably give you a chuckle or two…
The Imperium’s new Tactical Warsuit isn’t looking half bad. Here is the (mostly) true story on how the Loyalists created this awesome new unit from TheEllTee
How The Space Marines Made The Invictor Warsuit (mostly)
Tech-Priest: “Alright, we’re done armoring the shoulder joints. Now let’s weigh it to see how much extra armor we can put around the cockpit”.
Serf: “um… sir, we’re at our weight limit. We can’t put any more armor on…”
Tech-Priest: “WHAT!!! Crap…What if we take off the straps and cables holding the heavy bolter onto the left arm..?”
Serf: “Well, sir that’ll save us a little weight. Of course, we won’t be able to reload the bolter after we do that because there are no ammo chutes, but we can add some cockpit armor at least.”
Tech-Priest: “Hmm. Good enough, how much protection can we add over the pilot?”
Serf: “We can add a roll cage. <runs away>”.
RIP the Pilots
Found on a dataslate sometime later after the Invictor’s first deployment:
Space Marine: “Can I strap a storm shield to a roll cage instead of to my arm?”
Tech Marine: “I suppose, but why would you want to?”
Perfection…
Space Marine: “No reason.”
What do you think about the new Tactical Warsuit? Will it be the next Dreadknight? Would you like to pilot one of these things if all you had was a roll cage?
