Description
Dear , here’s the harpies you wanted, sorry it took so long. They have Forerunner-Knight-style cybernetic arms since it allows them to use weapons in the sense that arms would allow most beings to, while still not sacrificing the abilities given by their wings, which are shielded and given anti-gravitic maneuvering plates to help compensate for the added mass of all their gear. Their feathers are also gene-modded to be able to eject like quills and the armor auto-cauterize or auto-sterilize sections to minimize potential Flood infection. Also, take note at how the weapons they have are built-in, and do not have triggers, like Promethean knight arms, This means that they can use the weapons and allies can use their servitor AI to remotely-direct them, but enemies cannot.
“Of course we have harpies! We have almost every kind of creature that is at least recognizably-part-human in your ancestral mythos! While we were behind in a lot of aspects to the Forerunners, we did have less restrictions on things such as gene-modding and cybernetic enhancement”.
-Stratocracy military liaison to UNSC colonel during the initial intervention during the Created Conflict, on the subject of Hominid Auxilua species and their history.

Sorry for not responding faster, vacations
Thank you very much for fulfilling this whim of mine, but you do not have to apologize, after all, this was not much more than a whim that did not have much hope that you would have the interest to fulfill.
Unexpectedly great !!!
I expected a design that would be more 'conventionally effective' for an air infantry unit, like this:
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/da…
I thought the weapons would be located on their legs, but they would have no trouble to pointing thanks to the smart sights of their helmets, as in games. As well a jetpack incorporated into its armor to increase their air mobility.
Although it was yours it was equally great, I reallu not expect the cybernetic arms or genetically modified feathers at all.
It would really be great to see more of these Hominid Auxilua species in future, there is something for who seems absolutely incredible to see species that only appear in mythological stories and fantasy in such a futuristic context, like in Warhammer 40k.

Thanks, and I think that they would have units like that, but if they were yo go fully like that, then it would be not on living troops and rather simpler combat drones which can be equipped with just all the necessary weapons and defenses, like Tau or Starktech drones. Modifying full living troops just to have them be air attack platforms would be like breeding cattle just for the leather, in my opinion. As for the gene-modded parts, those were there before the War, how do you think that the AHE was able to make all those demihumans in the first place.

Wait I thought the Stratocracy was against the forerunner-seeded humanity.

Some of the Remnant factions which survived the Last Human-Forerunner War did, but there were a lot of disparate remnant factions running round doing their own thing during the intervening millennia. The main Stratocracy adopted a relatively-liberal policy towards all of the remnant factions, much like how the Imperium in 40K governs their territories. As long as you share any tech and exploratory developments and follow orders from above when they do arrive (like switching to a total war footing if the Flood come to the galactic cluster in force), they’re free to do and practic what they want so long as the higher-ups don’t see it as impractical. As regimented and ordered as they Stratocracy are, as a meritocratic military civilization, they can’t look over absolutely everything. That being said, they updated most of their ROE and SOP to prevent petty wastes of time and resources such as hunting down Forerunner half-breeds. The way they see it, all of the arrogant, stupid, negligent Forerunners are dead and will stay dead, so it’s easier and more-pragmatic to simply manipulate the Reclaimers into doing things the proper way instead of how the Forerunners did it.
By by the way, the AHE remnant empire from the Shiphunting and Fallen Empire poster posts are NOT the Stratocracy, they are from a different timeline, and far-less powerful since they were meant to be the antagonists in a story involving the alive-in-canon factions.

uhhh! It’s not my fault I can’t tell what’s what!

I'm not blaming you. Generally though, older pics are of AHE Remnants and newer pics are Stratocracy if not stated to be from the Forerunner era.

Imagine just minding your business and then one of these just flies over your head and battles a Promethean Knight horde

Thanks, though they’re not the craziest or most-impressive kind of aerial infantry which the AHE had access to during their heyday. But yes, it would be a sight to see them doing to Promethean forces what UNSC marines are most afraid will happen to them when fighting Yanmee drones.

It's that sort of innovation vs innovation that I love about all this, that the Ancient Humans and Forerunners both made such amazing, weird, wacky and wonderful weapons of mass destruction and the idea of their forces battling is just so awesome.

Indeed, the war was the absolute largest crucial reason why the Builders were able to gain so much political influence and sway over the Ecumene, they were the ones who were building all of the stuff to throw at the AHE.

NICE MORE AHE ART AND OF ANOTHER HOMINID SPECIES, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love info and lore on that Mech, it looks like a Mobile Suit.

Thanks, man! I’ll try to post more when I can, but getting my ideas down on paper is quite a tedious process. As for the mech droid, it was used primarily in the earlier 3 centuries of the war, developed more against the Forerunner than the Flood, but the complex systems and amount of resources needed to build and repair them soon swindled as the Didact’s starhopping strategy fractured the Dominion and prevented resources from getting where they needed to go. This spurred a change in doctrine from complex, high-end mechanized forces to simpler, cheaper, and faster-to-produce smaller designs which due to advances in technology could be more-powerful at a fraction of the costs.
