Are these supposed to be what you load into the giant guns for one of the uh... Mission types (?) in Helldivers? ๐ค
They don't look that big in the game. They need to make those models bigger so I feel even stronger when I pick them up and sprint away from bugs.
I don't know much about Helldivers, but the Wiki says their artillery are 360mm, which is closer to 14 inch shells. Slightly smaller than the thread pic. The right two here:
From what I see of screenshots, those sizes still seem inflated. Something like a 155mm would be closer to the proportions somebody could fit on their shoulder.
I reckon the model could just about fit the 8 inch (~200mm) shell on their shoulder so 155mm would got the scale well
Why did they use the same guy twice and then two different guys? Interesting haha
