Custom AUSSIE Space Marines??

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 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

Doing your duty as an Australian to warn the world of the dangers of drop bears, I see. Onya mate.

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.

Oh, but that more nerds would take “it’s made up who cares” to heart. I’m primarily a comics guy and whooo boy that crowd has some Extremely Specific Requirements for their imaginary violence men.

Idk how you'd do it, but I think a winnie the pooh themed marine is due

Another idea, I would love to see Wojtek the bear, maybe as techmarine as he was bearer (yes) of artillery shells, so maintenance marine.

A sentient gene seed that grow arms and legs and got adopted by the chapter that is their mini brother. Gotta be known as Mini Me.

Space Bears are the best thing to happen to the hobby in a while. Nothing is cooler than having fun!

The 3D layer lines almost made the lighter colors look like they were made of wood which worked for this theme. The jet pack looked like 2 Barrels made me think of a certain Gorilla and want to do a space ape chapter

I'm a big fan of the white and bronze color scheme. Looks fantastic! I'm very proud of the minis here and extremely grateful to be a part of this wonderful project!

Drop bears! Drop Bears! DROP BEARS! Aussie Aussie Aussie! Brilliant video, guys. This was awesome, and I love it.

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

I remember the heroic efforts of the Dropbears in fighting Hivefleet Emu

This Minsc and Boo conversion is pretty rad, IMO

The successors of the space bears "The Space Kangaroos"

Now for a Flamingo themed sydonian skatros

you know you’ve made it when your homebrew successor chapter has its own successor chapters

Now we need a red bear techmarine and brown bear lieutenant

Maybe the space kangaroo chapter believes in caring for a little cherub joey to teach the marines to care for others notably civilian casualtys
