Daily reminder that the Solar Auxilia were NOT the common soldiery, that would be the Imperial Army, the predecessor to the Guard/Astra Militarum. The Solar Auxilia were the most elite soldiers from the Army given extra training and fancy gear, they're more comparable to the Stormtroopers/Tempestus Scions in modern 40k.

@@bthsr7113To be fair, “god emperor” (yes even “god emperor with hindered mobility who reigns over a galactic empire from which AIs were expunged”, and no I won’t count the SoB because they aren’t his bodyguards ^^), isn’t exactly a concept that dune has a patent over, and it’s more than different enough (origin story, nature of the disability, goals, means, aesthetic, etc) to not actually be just a copy.

[@nathanjora7627]

They copied the regular sentinel from Star wars’ chicken walkers, minus the armor. It’s not terribly surprising that putting back armor it’d look like that, I donne think they needed to steal anything in that particular case XD

[@andrewryan4417]

Assuming that they did rip them off Iron Harvest, which is a 50/50 let's say for now, it is quite sad of GW. Stealing from your contemporaries, that's fine and dandy and easily excusable. But something as young as Sychte/Iron Harvest/Jakub Rozzansky? Well that's not fair ball anymore.

Erm ackshully 🤓☝️during the early editions, ‘Dreadnought’ just referred to any large walker-type vehicle with a dude inside it, and Orks and Eldar also had them. Since these are 30k units, referring to any large man-interred gizmo as a Dreadnought is perfectly accurate Source: I made it up
