Martian Irradiated Troopers

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

Hardwired discipline, dogmatic indoctrination and complete obedience in the face of near certain death. These characteristics can be used to describe nearly all troops that march forth from the forge complexes of the red planet. But perhaps none of these priests and soldiers are as devout in their faith and loyal to the cause as the Vanguards. For their days are numbered and their bodies, cybernetically enhanced as they may be, are poisened, irradiated with higher doses than even the lifeless wastelands of Mars. And yet these soldiers welcome the deadly energies seeping from their weapons into their bodies and dooming them to a slow death, for it is the embrace of the machine god and their sword and shield at the same time. Not only their baroque carbines bring death to the enemy, the very march of these moribund soldiers purges their foes with holy radiation and each of their contaminated steps terraforms the battleground to resemble the sterile beauty of the red planet.
A bit of a lazy remix, I admit, but at least the heads are interchangeable this time. Progress!
