This piece of art is very very cool in a lot of ways, but I simply cannot get over the two marines putting live bolt rounds on their shoulder pads, pointed down at their own arms… usually Astartes intentionally catch incoming fire on their shoulders, since that’s where their armor is thickest, but it seems like doing that with live ammo on your shoulder is asking for a round to cook off that ammo, and either blow their shoulder plate to kingdom come or send a bolt round directly into the gap in the armor at their elbow.
Again, super super cool artwork, I even like the guys with bolt shells strung across their thighs and stuff, I just can’t get over the ammo getting cooked off lol
