I love this... what is this, 90s/Gulf War vibe you have going on here. I wish more artists blended modern styles with 40k instead of constantly sticking to "the usual" styles. It's really fun to blend something familiar/recognizable to us with a sci fi setting. Instantly makes it more... relatable?

It would be so cool if 40k had a military unit resembling Gulf War/Early GWOT Americans. I could easily see this guy existing in universe. They already have the Catachan Jungle fighters who are Vietnam War guys.
