Well I am totally into it now. Call me a fan, these designs are extremely refreshing.

Thank you for waiting till 2013 so I can jump in on this kick starter because Iam kick started out for 2012. I see this one being successful.

AMEN to that, inqscott

Some new concepts up on both FB and the main site.

Better comparison pictures.

Looks kind of like Jor'El to me.

First thing I thought too, I was expecting him to be holding a light saber.

Also those hammers are the sex.

Just like Terminators then

They certainly look to be high quality and I particullary like the robot designs.

The big guy might be just the incentive I need to get back to 40k! A squad of those would look the nuts as a bunch of Termies!

looks interesting, i hope that it will be a boxed set

nice looking stuff

Amazing stuff.

That armor, yeah, thats epic.
What a crisis suit SHOULD look like stylistically....

Their Thonian Automated Defense Unit (ADU) looks pretty neat. Though I do admit the legs look a tad long

TheShellCase.co.uk: THON the Game - An Interview

ah, I was coming to post the TSC link as well, beat me to it!

Some new info up.

New Havok model render, still tuning some details.

I'm still eager to see more, but I'm not sure if I like the style or not. There are things I like about both of these bots and things I don't.

Narrative Play - Thonian Core Keepers serve to decontaminate and maintain a Starlight’s Soul Core. They are virtual mechanics and real world medics. In the absence of an Advocate, they can direct Orbital Support, Orbital Drops and Close Support AI Grid Divers.

Dotn know what that entails in the actual game, but art looks neat

Just ran across this on Beast of War.

Thonian Honour Guard:

“Few Thonians excel to the rank of Honor Guard; those trusted and elite warriors that serve as a Commander’s protectors and advisers. They lead armies, spearhead attacks or fight effectively on their own. Honor Guard mark themselves with facial rune-scarring to remember fallen allies.”

Very nice design made even better by the fact its not bikini-armour for once, although personally I would prefer a tad more hair on her head.

eagerly awaiting this ks eventhough I think I be all over the ord forces when they release. I have big plans for them.

The Thonian ADU boasts an upgraded shield suite as well as twin lances and scatterguns. It offers substantial firepower at range.

DRX and Fireborn for scale comparison. DRX and Fireborn are pictured on 28mm bases. The ADU and Fireborn will come with 40mm custom bases.

So DRX the small thing, Fireborn the medium thing, ADU the tall thing

Atera Drop Cannon Model

Ooooohhh!

Magnificent minis!

What I like is a lack of clean edges to some of the tech. It has a very gritty, hard-edged look to it that really appeals to me if not for the game itself, for an RPG setting I have been piecing together.

The ADU, I think, looks to have more then one joint mechanism in the knee. That could explain why it is so tall?

Wonder when they are planning the KS for this?

Shooting for Mar1 =)
Wrapping up details now.

In time for my birthday? The sly dogs! I really like the look of these minis though, really reminiscent of a videogame "Quake II" that terrified me when I was too young to really comprehend what was going on!

The top guy looks like Arcturus Mensk!

These designs look very detailed and well made to me so far, but I am not feeling a strong consistent stylistic vibe from any of the pieces. I think that may become more clear as more models are released.
