Helldivers 2's game director has a huge Warhammer habit, so if the hit shooter ever gets "giant microtransactions," you know why.
Helldivers 2 director and Arrowhead Game Studios head Johan Pilestedt took a break from near-constantly updating the game's community on Twitter earlier this week, to show off his Warhammer collection instead. In the tweet below, Pilestedt is understandably torn between going with Dark Elves, Chaos, Orcs and Goblins, or Vampire Counts factions for his new Old World army.
I can't decide which #Warhammer Old World army to go for... It's either:- Dark Elves: +I love Hydras and Cold Ones -no official rules.- Chaos: +Big armors knights cool -Only big armored knights.- Orcs & Goblins: +Love the haphazard gameplay -"Everyone" at @ArrowheadGS play…March 3, 2024
If you thought this was Pilestedt's first Warhammer army, you're much mistaken. It turns out the Helldivers 2 director is actually knee deep in Warhammer armies, having signed up to lead Imperial Fists, Ultramarines, Death Guard, and two Tyranid armies. Yes, the director of Helldivers 2 has not one, but two bug-based Warhammer armies.
