the original news of the model was published around sep 24th 2009 and district 9 came out only 20 days before in
uk [sep 4th] , given how long it takes to sculpt a model and play test rules its unlikely it was intended to have district 9 influences
it is a neat model and will be intresting to see the rumored new tau crisis suits from
GW to see if they bear an similarities to the new
fw suits we have seen, im guessing most of the similarities will be in the chest and ankle region beefing the original crisis suit models up.
