Armorsmith's Followers is a 2b2t group with the goal to worship Armorsmith, the group's leader, as an "eternal god".

Armorsmith is a famous lagfag and shitposter. One day, he talked with a player named uglykids and suggested the idea of a group worshipping him. He wanted to call this faction "The Soviet Reunion". Due to the lack of time, he couldn't create this faction. But he did design a symbol for it, the hammer and sickle.

Armorsmith would then use this symbol in every single base/ build he made, including the Armorland End corner base, and his Carolina lag machine series.

A few months later, Armorsmith would team up with househousehouse1 and P529 to create his third major lag machine and ruin Christmas. While building the lag machine, on December 22 2017 he decided that it was time to finally create a Discord server of players who will worship him. He invited all kinds of players to the group. It was the first group on 2b2t to worship a person.

Some of the elite members of the group, who showed their dedication, were trusted by Armorsmith. These players were invited to special group bases. A unique example of such a group base is 200 150. This base was constructed just less than 200 blocks away from 0,0 and it lasted for 4 months. It was built below a lava cast, and was griefed later on by the Spawn Masons who held a meeting inside. FPS lagging, which was the earliest form of chunk banning, was brought to 2b2t by Armorsmith's Followers after the grief of their Spawn base, and so were the massive lava casts at the End Spawn.

The group made an outpost on the April 1st map of 2018. During the AntVenom invasion, the group grew exponentially, and tens of players who joined built their own Armorsmith bases, hoping to receive some of the unique items the group had access to. It was during this era that the hammer and sickle was spammed all over Spawn, and chat was flooded with Armorsmith propaganda thanks to the group's bots. The group also opened a website and a merchandise store. Armorsmith Map art was made as well. Metrez, who was a group member, discovered one of the first Donkey dupes in 2018.

In late 2018, The group decided to leave its mark at Spawn by building the Wrath of Armorsmith. IHackedWalmart would supply the builders with ender chests, while Metrez and Pheanom worked on the Wrath. This became their new HQ. The wrath had blocks mined from the original Wrath outpost.

The idea of a "Democratic Country" with an anthem and a president was attractive to some new players, and through the name of Armorstate, the faction could obtain more members. They built larger bases as time went by, including Space 2k2k, a large base at the End Dimension's coordinates of 2k2k. Players from the falling Peacekeepers and Infrared Republic found refuge in Armorsmith's Followers. More⇒
