Not something I ever expected to see, but what a visually arresting shot.
Seriously, all the other photos from the event are pretty meh but this one is World Press Photo material.
Omnissiah bless this vehicle
The magus has annointed the fighter jet in holy oil, and has recited the sacred binary scripture.
+2 armor
+2 rocket damage
But only against undead units
This reminds me of the time when I accidentally walked to the Kawasaki Daishi Prayer Hall for Safe Driving, and attended a ceremony for.... blessing your.... car.... I stood by an empty parking space.
It now has a bonus against evil outsiders and undead.
Fake alternate headline:
"...and finally we had a weapon capable of take the fight to the Zentradi."
Macross out in the wild.
NCD gonna have a field day over this
The spirit of the jet accepts offerings of.... jet fuel.
Let's just hope it's not a State Shinto blessing, otherwise this jet will be used exclusively for war crimes.
Got to drive away the gremlins.
I was bummed that I couldn't find a vid of Shinto chanting over the jet.
