I can't say for sure, but this appears to be Fate Stay Night fanart for which we have no permission. Can anyone verify?

I can't find that image, but I found a much bigger one on konachan.com. If that is the source, then our pic would be an excerpt.

ETA. All the images that Google Image Search brings up are a multi-person image of which ours is about 1/3 surface-wise. I can't find our image anywhere.

Warhammer 40,000 is a great source for this. Some options:

The last one's the Emperor, right? But it looks rather busy, as do all the others.

Huh, doesn't look like it.

[up] No, that's just a bunch of Ultramarines. They are busy, but I'm not sure that anything that properly displays the trope wouldn't be.

Did we ever resolve the copyright question? Because judging from trope examples I don't expect Warhammer 40000 pics to not be too busy.

[up] I believe it's just a piece of a larger picture, so we'd be covered; I still prefer the 40K pics.

Bump...keep looking for options or do up a crowner?

[up][up][up] I like that one too. Blinged out sci-fi Powered Armor, huge gun, and... no helmet.

Works for me. Heavy armour + no helmet = senseless + looks good.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to find one with the helmetless guy flanked by a couple mooks who are wearing helmets? Not that 13 is bad by any means, I'm just saying.

[up] 3.3, unless you think it's too busy.

13 is great.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

Bump; anyone else for 13, or should we crowner this?

3.3 is too busy. 13 also has the bonus that there is a flamethrower really close to the unprotected head.

Also, aren't these in 13 as opposed 3.3 ordinary (by setting standards - the irritating Warhammer 40000 hyperbole shows up) soldiers? This trope goes for "elites" more than that.

[up] Hard to say...I've never played the game, but I assume that the Marine in 13 isn't a high rank. The guy at the top of 13.3 actually is a high rank, if that armor is any indication. Someone with more 40K experience than me can probably verify that.

He's looking sufficiently heroic for me.

And I thought that was a large muzzle flash, rather than a flamer...

It's still wearing a dangerous weapon far too closely to your unprotected head [nitpick]

Well, according to the 40K fluff, even low-ranked Space Marines are supposed to be elite genetically altered Super Soldiers, so I'd say the marine from 13 fits. I think we've got a pretty good consensus here, I don't think a crowner is needed.
