Looking for a company that sells 28mm scale hardsuits for a Brigador project and once upon a time there was this scam:
Someone else salvaged / took over the designs, but nothing ever came of that one either as far I could tell, so.. Are there any other companies out there that sell 28mm scale hardsuits of this design? I am aware of Maschinenkrieger, but that's way out of scale with what I'm looking for. And no, I do not have access to a 3D printer either.

Also very interested in this. I like this sort of design, ever since reading Starship Troopers and their Mobile Infantry.
I did recently pick up some Grizzly Exosuits from the Starship Trooper game that sort of fit this aesthetic, but they've been oop for quite a while now.

Rebel Minis bought the molds for several of the metal items from SST. Those are still available here: https://www.rebelminis.com/sciencefiction.html I think grizzlies have been renamed kodiaks.

Oh that's amazing, thank you very much. Will have to pick up some of the widowmaker suits.

Back in the day both Defiance games and Antenocitis workshop were going to put those egg suits into production (they both paid the original designer to use the design). AW's were going to be resin casts, and the DG were supposed to be plastic injection moulded.
Then a series of medical issues hit AW, and several staff left, and they drastically had to cut back on their resin stuff.
DG - well, that clusterfeth is well-enough known that there's no need to go into it here.

Impact Miniatures were the ones who apparently got hold of the original Defiance hard suit files, it was 2 years ago but they mentioned wanting to use them in a future Kickstarter campaign in this KS update.

No idea if they're still planning it though, from what I've read Impact had a rough 2020 thanks to Covid killing off their convention revenue and they had to take out a 100k loan to cover all their contracts from 2019.

That's perhaps too much of a big chungus!
I'm more looking for something that's in the realms of power / exo armour / hardsuit territory, here's some of the art of the thing I want to recreate in 28mm scale:
A walking egg with arm-mounted MG-42's basically.
Spoilered for size and delightful WTF'ery.

Well, I think I’d want a walking eggsuit loaded with guns when the screaming flying heads come for me with their glowy eyes… yikes!

The eyes are heavy lasers.
I am tempted to try and create a flying head, the Zed Prime, at some point as well. Though seeing as the upcoming Ork release will feature a massive severed Gargant head, maybe I'll have that one fly as well.

Reaper's Bulldog is PVC plastic, $6 and has tons of options.

The photos don't really do it justice, it's about ogre sized, can be modeled top up or sealed and hand or weapon conversions are easy with a hobby knife.
I can post my WIPs when I get home.

I'd be interested in seeing a sealed up pic. I really don't like those pictures but it's mainly the tiny head at the top I think.

now why didn't they show It sealed like that, rather than with the 'where are his arms and legs' pilot
