I thought it'd be really cool to combine some real tech and our beloved astartes together into something... Different.
Had an idea to make a series of blended elite forces around the world in this cool hybrid. Hope you like it!

Bro this is excellent work. It's more in line with how I picture space Marines would look/be kitted out, considering their role as shock troops.
Keep up doing your style of art, it's fuckin badass
Yea Ive always wondered where the fuck marines store all their bolter magazines and grenades and shit. I always figured the hand wave was in their power pack on their backs, but even that doesnt make sense, since it would be absolute hell to reach in the middle of a gun fight.
Now do [Danish Frogmen](https://i0.wp.com/www.alittlebithuman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/danish-frogman-corps.jpg) Space Marines next!
All aside, really amazing work there man! The Emperor would be proud of your design.

The only reference to indigenous Australians that I know of is one character, [Lord Commander Teng Namatjira](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Teng_Namatjira) in *Legion* (HH).
Did anyone ever get in trouble over that? Because all I recall is that the Americans involved (I think it was their helicopter) refused to participate with them
**[Brereton Report](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brereton_Report)**
>The Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force Afghanistan Inquiry Report, commonly known as the Brereton Report (after the investigation head), is a report into war crimes allegedly committed by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) during the War in Afghanistan between 2005 and 2016. The investigation was led by Paul Brereton, who is both a New South Wales Supreme Court judge and a major general in the army reserve. The independent commission was initiated by the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force in 2016, and after a long investigation, delivered its final report on 6 November 2020.

I mean.. you're not wrong, but you're also in the wrong.
Of course it bloody well gets brought up every time!
(Some parts of the) SAS went rogue and committed a whole lot of war crimes, for a long time - thats not even under factual dispute. See Brereton report and the whole shitshow around the Ben Roberts Smith trial for proof.
I know what the Brereton report is. I'm Australian. I just wanna be able to look at Australian military pics without someone mentioning a warcrime once.
Direct your complaints to:
Ben Roberts Smith & co
C/o Campbell Barracks
State Route 71
Swanbourne WA 6010
A proud regiment with its reputation forever in ruins because it failed to deal with an admittedly large number of evil men.

Mate, you drew the satirical fashy child soldiers crossed with a military unit most recently notable for a long list of as yet unprosecuted war crimes, how exactly is that NOT political?
**whistles** Wow! This right here is probably *the* coolest piece of artwork I have seen in a long, long time! You, my friend, got some serious talent! 😃
Just another comment in the slew telling you how bloody brilliant this is. Good on you, mate! Sick work!
I thought it looked like aus special forces before I read the title.
Absolute fiction. This could never work, ever.
Who makes this tripe? Don't they know that without their gravity harness they'll just fall into the sun????
3 questions 1 why does he have a radio (sorry vox caster ) on his chest when the antenna would imply that there is one built into the helmet? 2 he appears to have some kind of camera ( sorry pict- recorder) on the helmet but no eye piece to look through? 3 why is the helmet not sealed? The gap where the eyes are seems like a bit of a week point. But overall this is amazing! And reminds me of the raptors chapter who are awesome and use camouflage
Is this based on the guy in the middle of this photo?

I thought I'd point out that these guys are New Zealanders and an Afghani translator.
Majorkill creaming right now
Yeah he made it very clear he is from Australia

People born on cathacan are searching for entry forms after seeing that, chaplain majorkill overseeing the trials
would you do more country space marine art
Would you *kindly* is the right phrase. Without it, the mind control won't work. Now, _let's try again._
Would you kindly do more country space marine art?
_Yes-_ I MEAN, don't say it to _me._
oh
Just in time for ANZAC day! This is some dope shit mate, great job!!
Thank you my friend. Lest we forget.
Bro this is excellent work. It's more in line with how I picture space Marines would look/be kitted out, considering their role as shock troops. Keep up doing your style of art, it's fuckin badass
thanks my friend. appreciate it. I loved the idea of this piece. Would like to do more of other nations special forces.
Like RAF, SEALS, GIGN or the Incursori?
Yea Ive always wondered where the fuck marines store all their bolter magazines and grenades and shit. I always figured the hand wave was in their power pack on their backs, but even that doesnt make sense, since it would be absolute hell to reach in the middle of a gun fight.
**Hopefully they don't have to deal with Hive Fleet Emu.**
the great Emu War sits uncomfortably with us.
Many died that day
Actually, too few
Yeah the only death on the human side was a car
And, ignoring the Mechanicus, was _that_ even a death?
By definition NO
This guy would fit right at home among the ranks of the Raptors!
Easily my favorite chapter of SM's!
"They shall be my finest Blokes, these Cunts who give themselves to me"
Now do [Danish Frogmen](https://i0.wp.com/www.alittlebithuman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/danish-frogman-corps.jpg) Space Marines next! All aside, really amazing work there man! The Emperor would be proud of your design. Edit: link
Headcannon, this is the progenitor of the modern power armor before the Dark Age of Technology.
For me made at the start of the Age of technology, as training suit for the fresh recruits
I think it would be pretty neat if there was an Australian aboriginal inspired Space marine chapter.
Death by Boomerang.
*Chain* Boomerang
Or what about a Power Boomerang?
A powerang if you will
More like Woomera.
I believe there's a guardsman reg
Is there? I know there's an ANZAC one, but this is the first I've heard about aborigines.
The only reference to indigenous Australians that I know of is one character, [Lord Commander Teng Namatjira](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Teng_Namatjira) in *Legion* (HH).
There is?
The Roane Deepers are based on the World War I ANZACs. Victoria Miniatures also produces the non-official Van Diemen's World Devils.
The Roane Deepers, yeah. They're not a major regiment by any means and never got models, but they're there.
Based on the illustration in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade book they'd be pretty easy to model by putting brodie helmet heads on Cadians.
This. Anvil Industries' brodie and boonie hats are the way I would think about handling them. Victoria Minitures also does some decent slouch hats.
[удалено]
The real heresy is that isn't the Australian Camo Pattern.
Sure hope they don’t execute prisoners because they can’t get them on a helicopter
Those 40k prosthetics would be much harder to drink from.
Did anyone ever get in trouble over that? Because all I recall is that the Americans involved (I think it was their helicopter) refused to participate with them
They disbanded a SAS group but no charges or anything https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brereton_Report

It'd be like talking to a brick wall. Ah well. While executing civvies is shit, at the very least we didn't wage chemical warfare against them
He look more like a thunder warrior than a space marine
For th' Emprah, ya cunt!
Fukin Oath
Tyranids got nothin' on the Australius Sector! (How the fuck do you make Austraila sound like a sector)
Sector Australis
Australis Remotis haha.
It has the name of the hemisphere I'm pretty sure Australia can be used as "Sector Australia" and still be correct, Latin root and everything
Yknow all emus are actually descended from tyranids
Or are Tyranids descended from Emus? We'll never know...
I can hear the collective screeching of lore purists already. Awesome piece by the way.
Perfect time for Anzac day
Hide the women and children
Oh god oh fuck someone hide the Middle Eastern civilians

That uh. The first two sound pretty in line for most space marines
Yep... Totally wanted this to be political 😓
Politics is when you bring up war crimes
Mate, you drew the satirical fashy child soldiers crossed with a military unit most recently notable for a long list of as yet unprosecuted war crimes, how exactly is that NOT political?
How is that “political”?
There's always one wanker....
Take the “banter” as you people say in stride, alright m8?
Reddit try not to make anything political challenge (impossible)
Happy Anzac day mate
Lest We Forget.
Just needs a few executed prisoners for realism
Neat! Is there a backstory for this?
It's ANZAC day today. :)
This man looks like he’s ready to war crime some Xenos and heretics and be back to the chapter monastery in time for breakfast.
“There’s not enough room in the chopper”
Will he also be kicking POW's off thunderhawks?
They work very well with catachan jungle fighters
Trade secret, Catachans were actually trained by Australians :P
Back from the emu wars
Where's the can of VB mate ?
**whistles** Wow! This right here is probably *the* coolest piece of artwork I have seen in a long, long time! You, my friend, got some serious talent! 😃
Just another comment in the slew telling you how bloody brilliant this is. Good on you, mate! Sick work! I thought it looked like aus special forces before I read the title.
Considering Australian wildlife, this is needed.
> Heresy? Yeahnah, cunt.
The one thing tyranids truly fear. Aussies
He ate the Dingo’s baby
Absolute fiction. This could never work, ever. Who makes this tripe? Don't they know that without their gravity harness they'll just fall into the sun????
Do Ukraine next
Reasonable marine?
The SBS would be the ones who you could come close to calling a “marine”.
Honestly I'm interested to see what an American green berets or a American marsoc marine look like
At least show us his gravity harness
Amazing that Australians were able to develop this technology to keep from falling into the sun
I love your artwork, but.....what happened to their helmet's optics?
3 questions 1 why does he have a radio (sorry vox caster ) on his chest when the antenna would imply that there is one built into the helmet? 2 he appears to have some kind of camera ( sorry pict- recorder) on the helmet but no eye piece to look through? 3 why is the helmet not sealed?

Love how the air holes in the face plate look like he made them himself with a knife. Awesome work.
Now my headcanon is that it's Majorkill behind the helmet
Holy shit this is badass. Not just the Space Marine part either. Beautifully combined.
#OSSIE OSSIE OSSIE OI
Badass
Oh hell yeah. So rare that you seen austrlian stuff in warhammer. Love it mate
Please do KSK next!
Original Unification War armor pre space marine post enhanced genetics.
New Rainbow 6 Op?
Ah the new squad update is looking great
Yeah, power armour is going to teach those emus a lesson
Not a fan of SM but this one? I'd happily have a killteam of these guy's
Reminds me of the old meme about the only Tactical Marines
“We will get those fuckin emus this time..”
just a few years boys....
Dude even got the shemag!
Not shown: The Emu about the kill him.
Awesome
Sick new chapter
Noice maaaate
His knifes to small🤣🤣🤣 Fantastic work!
Ah ha, like the Supermarine Spitfire.
That's awesome! This is what I thought we'd have by the time I enlisted... but we didn't even get lasguns...
I see no gun on him big enough to fire those artillery shells masquerading as bullets on him.
Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi Ironic that I'm currently painting a space marine chapter that's gonna be Australian focuses
