But in Guilliman's eyes, the world looked entirely different.
Blue data streamed down the edges of his tactical visor like a waterfall, while concise three-dimensional vector markers danced across his retinas.
Countless pieces of complex battlefield information—atmospheric temperature, wind speed, wind direction, radiation intensity, and more—were abstracted into visualized data by the intelligent systems carried by his power armor.
