Huh, found this on TT fix. Looks like we're gonna have some more sci fi plastics in the future. I think these were the same guys who popped in here a few months ago with some type of poll (or was it a different forum? Cant remember.)
Also they named their range Alien Suns.... 
Although ehh....models look okish. Not much to tell, only one thing. And MORE GAS MASK GERMANS IN THE FAR FUTURE

No but seriously, the concept art looks gorgeous, and wish the company nothing but well wishes going into the future.

Well that was my assumption with the coincidental naming and with the inclusion of the gask mask guys, although I dont really want to set off any drama bombs. Then again, seeing this is dakka I'm not too sure theres many people who'll leap into defense mode with that company

I'll laugh if it is, because these look infinitely better than WGF's offerings. Seriously, the WGF Greatcoat guys look like walking poop.

Interesting, dislike the marine's helmets though, or at least from this angle. The only Germanic thing about the grenadier seems to be the helmet, so they don't have to be yet another gasmask/German trooper.
I like how they are near future or "realistic" style, like Aliens or the Halo drop troops.

They are the guys who left Wargames Factory. That marine figure looks Incredible! I can't wait to get some! I have a feeling I won't be buying anymore Imperial guard figures. Does anyone know when they'll be available? I wonder how much they'll be? There's no release date info on the Defiance Game site.

My guess is, they'll be out when they're out. Most medium/small mini companies arent very concrete about their release dates.

They're better than I would have expected from the WGF guys, but the sculpt is significantly less awesome than the concept art.

And when the guys at Defiance were running W.F., they tried that and it didn't work. Probably for more than one reason, but no matter, experience brings wisdom, and not providing long term release dates is probably wise.

I think the reason is more that as the new WF stabbed them in the back and scape goated them, the name is meant as a sort of insult.
I am liking the look of the heavy armoured Space Germans, looking way better than the Shock Troops.

Liking this. The grenadier art looks very nice. I actually have hope for this company. The one figure that they show seems (technically) well done, I just don't like the design. Hopefully these sculptors can do good things with a better design.
