Harkonnen Inferno Trooper

That is a new infantry unit for the Harkonnen, who wields a tank of sticky, flaming napalm-like substance.

This character was an interesting challenge. I looked at a lot of flame-throwing designs for inspiration and didn't find them intimidating enough and almost none combined with armor except perhaps for the Starcraft Firebat. So I went a different route and started playing with silhouettes until I found one that interested me. The protective reflective surfaces were inspired by looking at real-life firesuits and rescue gear.
