Custom AUSSIE Space Marines??

[@TheTyrfish]

The lore reason is that the lil Space Marine is a toy from a civilian child that the Space Kangaroo couldn't save, and he keeps the toy around as a memento of his failure

[@swakage13x]

I love it and I hate it at the same time Because it makes me think about that salamander fan comic Where the marine runs back to the city and he finds the toy That belonged to the little girl he became friends with, And this just makes me think that the space bears while being A Space wolves successor chapter Are closer to humanity Like how the salamanders are And it almost brings a tear to my Eye

[@TheTyrfish]

@@swakage13x I was thinking of another fan comic, where a girl tells his scared mother not to be afraid anymore because there is a Space Marine at the door to save them, and she is holding a Space Marine toy. She points at the Space Marine, and you can see it's actually a Plague Marine, so oof

[@aidenchristian4497]

Both of those comics are connected!

[@flaviomonteiro1414]

​@@swakage13xSpace wolves are pretty close to humanity, not as close as the Sally Manders, but they go an extra length to protect civilians, they even have gone to war against The Inquisition and Grey Knights to protect some people (Months of shame) so it's fitting to their sucessor do the same and protect the civilians of His Imperium.

The picture of the "dropbear" in your thumbnail was created by me. I made it one day as a meme and posted on reddit. Next minute they are talking about the image on the radio in Australia and it's on the front page of the Huffington Post. Everone was butt hurt saying that's not a real koala, well duh. It was just a picture of a wet koala that I photoshopped a set of Tasmanian devil jaws onto. Best meme I ever made. My wifes still coming to me years later saying things like "Did you know Jake Paul just posted about your killer koala image?". 🤣

The lore that could go with the Joey is that the space marine just decided to "Adopt" a half crazed Ratling guardsman and made him a miniature version of the astartes armor as a joke. Calling him "Brother Mini" or something, and taking him into battle everywhere he goes. Maybe Brother Mini is secretly a Blank or whatever, and allows the Astartes a bit more protection against psychic damage.

[@mathsethorus89.5]

Or he could just be there for sentimental reasons. Either way, just think of the entertainment factor of an Astartes walking up all majestic and powerful, while around his feet a miniature version of him is running around squealing like an enraged pig and waving around a chain sword like a stick.

[@scottbourret1190]

I like the koala color concept. I think that ties in well with the other groups of bears you've started. For the kangaroo theme I think I would limit the red to any fur, cloth, edging or symbols. The environment they come from almost dictates they not have over the top coloring for their troops. Next up you need to develop some ewok like allies for the space bear legion.

[@KoalaBearWorkshop]

I approve of the Koala "Drop Bear" Space Bear!

[@justinterry8894]

I know drop bear is their nickname but I thought scientifically speaking that koalas weren't related to bear or am I just wrong?

[@KoalaBearWorkshop]

@@justinterry8894 they're marsupials, they're not bears because they don't have the Koalafications.

[@InVerum]

Oh hell yeah I'm gonna be backing this. I already had bear themed Space Wolves back when I started collecting them in 2019, and since you dropped the original bear bits I was waiting for an opportunity to implement them more into the force. Now I can see an "Oops! All Thunderwolves" (Thunderbears) list happening with the new SM detachments, and printing 20 of these seems like an insane project.

Omg this was the coolest TTT video ever. I loved the colour schemes and they were so much fun! Now just need an Akubra for the space marine.

[@swakage13x]

I'm just realizing because how each one of the minor groups of the space bears have different color schemes it makes me think of the dark Angels deathwing being bone color terminators and then you have the bike riding ones that are in all black and then you have the regular forces in green and cream Because pretty much every other chapter keeps literally the same general color scheme for all their units except for librarians chaplains apothecary's and tech Marines disregarding certain emblems on shoulder armor and certain colors on helmets to signify squad and rank. But I got to say I love how you guys Changed up each group having their own specific colors but keeping the main theme

A really good argument for anything properly silly in 40k is just "oh uh archaeotech" or something. Like the joeybears could be actual normal spacemarines that have been miniaturized or something, or another demi-human type that proved compatible with the gene seed. But anything sifficiently silly can be explained away with "uhhh dark age of technology"

[@drblackleaf]

I think the Joey Marine would be really fun as a kind of mid combat repairman, maybe he can enter inside the armour to repair damage. Would make the marine a bit scarier if it looked like his armour was magically sealing itself while he's still jumping at you

an idea lore of the joey marines, it's mutation of the progenoid glands (the organ that creates geneseed of a marine). Creating a more or less clone of the host marine in a pouch. Possibly deemed a heretical abnormality

[@harbl99]

You notice that Aussies never talk about the terror weapon they created during WW2. They would use Vegemite sandwiches on a fishing rod to lure drop bears into oil barrels, weld on the top, and then drop them out of their AU21 Kookaburra light bombers onto Japanese troop concentrations. Whole islands in the South Pacific are still off limits. Horrific stuff.
