I’ve always looked at that picture and thought to myself…. “His shoulders are like 5 feet wide, but his head is like 6 inches across.” Amazing what those space marine super soldier chemicals will do.

It’s robotic power-armour, so the limb configuration does not correspond to the person inside it. He’s probably a weedy little guy inside all that metal.

Ok, it’s power-armor, but are his real arms inside the body area, or inside the robotic arms? Because if it’s the latter, the super-wide shoulders thing still applies.
He looks to be wearing Terminator Armour. I’ve read a lot of the material, and it has never been referred to as robotic, but I think basically is it.
From Wiki:
“The armour itself is a complete exo-skeleton … Movement is made possible through the complex fibre-bundle muscles.”

That’s Marneus Calgar, and he’s wearing his artificier armor (Terminator armor generally comes up well above the head). Space Marines have to go through genetic and physical/surgical alterations just to be able to wear their power armor. They are noticably larger and bulkier than any average human, even when out of their armor (about 7&1/2-8ft tall IIRC). Some older 40k artwork depict Space Marines receiving their armor, and clearly shows that their arms are within the arms of the suit.
Model-wise, there’s no way their arms would fit within the chest of the suit. It’s just certain artwork that make their heads look rediculously small.

why the fuck is there an albanian flag covering his leg?
Uncategorized? What the fuck?
After being a loyal reader of this site for a couple months, I can’t believe you don’t have a Warhammer category.
There is a 40k catagory.

Not an albanian flag…..the double headed eagle is the sign of the Empire hence the imperial guard emblem is the double headed eagle.
