    Second strip and still no Eldar? What a shame… ;D
    At least we have new character – an radio handler whom nobody can understand? Hilarious paradox. :D

    Also another thign just occured to me, the radio operator is called “Hamm” which whilst being food players of fallout 3 will be familiar with the Hamm radio set ^_^
    Good work dudes!

    I’m not sure if this connection was intended. I hope it was not as I pay little respect to that game. No respect at all, to be precise.

    I think it’s a reference to the actual Ham Radio.
    I love the art style, and those chimeras in the background have a neat design!

  5. Death From Above says:

    It’s awesome! And what is their regiment? I’ll build a squad of them when you present all the characters.
