Bloody hell, now that is how to get interest going in a game. I love the artwork. I am looking forward to finding more about the mechanic.

Don't trust the red scum.

"mickey mouse" - I thought felix the cat or is that coz I am old (possibly senile, tho luckily a shower a day means I don't smell of pee ... hopefully?)

Yeah, Felix or Krazy Kat, perhaps.

Incontinence is no laughing matter, fullheadofhair.

Wow, that's cool. All must fight for Mother Planet. Problem is, United Nations or Red Blok? Both sound like really cool political factions (much better than the weak factions nowadays ).

<<No compromise to the collectivist scum!>>

Sweet! I look forward to seeing more pics of the battle suits, those things fecking rock! And then there's the Red Blok - biomorph alien robots, how cool is that?

Actually, there aren't any Red Blok models yet - the alien robots are the Therians.

Any else notice that the UNA 'personal battle suits' look alot like the plastic Tau Stealth Battlesuits?

Ah, ok, I see that Red Blok is another human faction. Awesome. I presume this means they are going to be represented eventually down the road along with other races. Sure hope so,

Regarding the suits, I find both look similar to Kow Yokohama's Maschinen Krieger (aka S.F.3.D) "Meusline" power armor suits as well as other suits from the series (see them here at Hobby Link Japan). Basically retro-WW2 sci-fi anime robots. These are nothing that's really new, just more refined designs. GW certainly has never invented much less reinvented the wheel as all of it's designs are derivatives of some aspect of history or popular culture.

I hope they don't add to many faction/Species to the mix where it gets too much to hand, kinda like 40k. They have so many different armies that few of them hardly get any attention to them at all, Dark Eldar. If they keep it to a few but well designed core armies with something like the Craftworld Codex for the Eldar to spice things up a bit, then the game doesn't get too differcult to control. Some time its seems that GW lives only on their own momentum

I believe that the picture of the power armor dude that I linked to in that other thread is an example of a Red Blok soldier. Coolness.

Sweet! I hope that's true, as I dig that power armor.
