Just ran into this little thing!

Apparently some upcoming 28mm miniature wargame

Holy crap...

Damn indeed, that suit of armour!

Wow. Some of that concept art alone is beautiful.
Can't wait for a price point and maybe even a scale on these.

Premise seems a bit cliche with the Rough faction vs Tech faction vs Stealth faction.

Amazing find!

I don't think that's armor... It looks like a robot tore off Vin Diesel's head to wear as a hat.

That first guy reminds me of Obi-wan

That is a robot you do not want to mess with.

Does not look very 28mm scale to me?

The suit would be absolutely bad-ass with some sort of robot-head in place of the human one. Must be some sort of robot body, as there is no way a person could fit inside there.

[C3P0] I suggest a new strategy...let the robot win; shoes on the other foot furball!

Wow. That is some awesome concept work!

Edit: I just went to the website, and holy gak does this universe look amazing!

The proportions look screwy to me. The Fireborn is passable since it looks like it's already a cyborg, but Obiwan-guy's head is too small for his body.

So more links for you. Kickstarter in 2013.

It's nice to see miniatures that have more realistic proportions!

Thanks all for the kind words, we are continuing to tune the models. They are based on 28mm, but the Fireborn is a big one, closer to 48mm and based on a 40mm in the picture.

For some reason the Thonians are kinda giving me that Asgardian feel from Thor and the Avengers...mainly the "Obi Wan" guy, but the weapons and that concept art of what appears to be a city, too. I'm watching this with a lot of interest, the minis look amazing so far.

I can see the passion and love being poured into the game. Definitely the next big thing if you have the tenacity and grit to pull it off.

Good luck!

BTW, please succeed cos I need to have it!

If there are specific backer rewards you would like to see please dont hesitate to msg on FB or post in the forum. We have a pretty awesome lineup planned but it can't hurt to have more input before it gets going.

Looks almost like a very high def 3D printer did those.

Agreed, the pics show some suspicious 3D print-like gradations, but possibly that's just how this outfit design their master models.

The designs do look good.

I think those were prototypes, with master models getting 3D printed at higher resolutions once the kickstarter gets enough money to make masters

It's a good company, a friend of a friend, and some really talented artists behind it.

Ah, I was going to say that they looked a little rough from the printer but if they are going to be refined further I can see myself getting a few of these beauties!

Absolutely spectacular. Can't wait to see more.

And interesting how these guys, with more naturalistic poses, look far more CINEMATIC!! than the "this is what's in my right hand, this is what's in my left hand" poses of a certain other company.

Unfortunately I just imagined that Mr. Big Stompy Suit is seconds away from tripping over a lose floor tile, and I can't unsee it.

I'm loving the concept art, especially the bald woman. I'm looking forward for more!

My new Inquisitor with Daemonhammer checking in...

Interesting art and minis, Ill have to keep an eye on this.

Those are some high quality 3D prints. wow

I think many people missed that the Thon owner posted in this thread.

Oh I noticed. I was pleasantly surprised.

I am definately going to watch this and hopefully be able to pitch somehting in for the kickstarter next year.
