I'm pretty sure that's a Multi-melta or heavy flamer, not a heavy bolter, as the first two weapons would fit more in the close combat/aerial assault role the armor would be designed for. Other than that, it looks awesome! I really like how you used the little round exhaust ports of an astartes backpack unit for the flight thrusters! though I imagine unless the armor's a lot lighter than it looks, or the systems are enhanced via magic in some way, anypony wearing that isn't going to be in the air anytime soon.

Yeah, another guy with a few more nerd levels in WH:40K than me made the same heavy flamer comment. I should probably fix that.
Also, according to the Codex Astartes, those "little round exhaust ports" actually are decently powerful maneuvering thrusters for use in microgravity and other low-contact environments. Obviously not a true flight pack, but I suppose they're probably enough to give a bit of a boost to a pony-sized armor frame. 40K lore suggests that these thrusters are more powerful than their size suggests.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Nah the John Wick link is correct. It's a joke, must I explain it? That would ruin it. :S
Then again I seem to have ruined the joke already.

That scene from John Wick is arguably the funniest in the movie. He's just wrecked a 12-man mafia hitsquad, and then uh oh here's a police officer at the door. But they know each other, and John is just like "...noise complaint?" and Officer Jimmy affirms: "...noise complaint."
When you originally commented "spess mahreens?" it reminded me of that scene, so I replied in kind, hoping you would get the reference. Guess I can't have everything tho XD
Please let me be now I'm so embarrassed that my joke didn't work and I had to explain it to someone on the internet gaaaaah what is my life

Strangely enough, "Feeling sorry for the poor saps who have to fight this" was one of the original design requirements. XD
