Sororitas Power Armor concept V2.0
Published:
I like sexy women as much as anyone, and when I was a teenager I loved armor like this in science-fiction and chainmail bikinis in fantasy. However, after studying weapons and armor for several years all I can think of is how impractical that would be, to the point where it breaks my immersion in whatever I'm viewing/reading. 
Why do people hate Primaris marines so much, is it just because they are selling more Space Marines that way?
A few reasons but they boil down to this: shit writing. Alot of die-hard fans like myself do not enjoy how they were unceremoniously tossed into the lore with disregard for the other marines. Alot of us also don't enjoy or appreciate that guys who have held the line for 10,000 YEARS are now being pushed aside all because the newer model is supposedly an upgrade. Now I might be biased from personal experience, but newer isn't always better and old dogs know more tricks then the new dogs can learn. When I look at the Primaris marines and their figurehead, the Ultrasue's, I see nothing but pansyasses.
That all said, it wouldn't stop me from buying Primaris models. I would just consider them old school marines in new kit, which honestly would have been a better route storywise and exactly what I did in my AU, because again, tiny bit biased.
Well it does seem you're biased yeah. I think I have the advantage since I got into warhammer by just looking at the model kits in a local toy store, never bought any of them nor painted the figures, I just liked looking at them. And now since April I've been diving into lore videos. I'll be honest, I cringe when people hate on the Primaris or the Ultramarines. I don't particularly hate anything in 40k and I'll keep it that way, I just illustrate things, I don't play the tabletop either so that might have been why I never have had any hate towards any faction. I do know way back it were the Eldar who were hated, and now it's the Ultramarines, it's just trendy I guess.
Its not trendy so much as it is GW ramming one specific thing down the fans throats repeatedly for so long and also wholesale changing things on a whim instead of gradually. If they had started introducing Primaris back in 2010 and done so slowly, by now we'd have no issues.
Similarly, if Black Librarys writers would stop writing bad stories and characters who are perfect (mary sues) then we'd also be fine. But GW has done neither, so here we are. So cringe all you like but thats the way it is. Now that GW has pulled a CBS they will lose even more fans, and money hopefully.
You want some dark sci-fi to support instead of 40k? Rexmaquina, go look it up.
Read up the lore. The Ministorum is forbidden "men under arms" after Goge Vandire. Thus the Sororitas emphasise that they're women.
The outer pauldrons could also be more of a rectangle (filling in the quarter-circle gaps); the hydraulics/similar under them can manage the weight and angles just like on Astartes armour, and this would protect the visible upper arm that's been left relatively unarmoured. Plus the drapes fitted beneath the pauldron and all would be well.
scratch that; just noticed the under-pauldrons are too wide, restricting movement.
Please show a helmetless version; Sororitas almost never wear helmets.
(perhaps reduced/partially removed/remove gorget at that, idk. Just doesn't fit them very well.)
It's still a great piece, ofc.
