Very cool!

I like that more companies are thinking about transhumanist ideas as a basis for army list building. One cool thing is that the most experienced troops are the oldest-- but because they are oldest, their genetic modification is the least advanced. Meanwhile, the youngest ones have the latest, cutting-edge genemods, but are also naive and inexperienced.

Normally, we think of the best troops as also being the most experienced. It's a cool inversion that your most physically able troops are the least experienced and vice versa.

(And yes, I see what you're doing with the infantry... I'm just saying. :) )

Progress continues.

I'll be doing a couple of head options. This is a "Pacific Rim" inspired/style head, with a huge viewing screen for the pilot to look out of.

In my eyes that's one of the best looking walkers I've seen. Top 2 I'd say. I hope it gets cast someday

Looking good. My only issue is that it looks to thin and spindly. Think parts need to be bulked up a little.

I think it looks great but the knees do look vulnerable...

Looking awesome E&C, really like how this is going. My only suggestion is to maybe have a raised section/lip on the central back edge of the carapace to help deflect hits/protect those exhaust/engine vent things on its back as they look a bit vunerable to fire from the front aspect.

The legs look fine to me, a narrow cross section is harder to hit.

Agree with both of these.

Have you considered doing a TIE fighter-style front windows? (Itself similar to WWII bombers.) I'm on a star wars kick lately, so maybe it's only me. It's just it would also seem like it would be easier to paint. Just a thought.

Can't believe i haven't commented on this yet. Flippin' great! Though i have to agree that the knee and arm areas look a little spindley - perhaps some armoured plates around joints etc...?

Adding a bit more detail to the legs, and another weapon added (an arm mounted version of the 300mm cannon from the ordinance conveyor).

Currently eyeballing the knees seriously to see how they can be bulked up without looking too big...

Looks great except for the head. TIE-fighter style window and a slit is 2 things i would like to see.

And also a Chuck Norris head, that would be badass.

Starting on a second head design now. It'll come with a choice of heads, and a choice of weapons.

I would be happy to fund this kind of projects even w/o KS or IGG..
Especially when I know the people behind the project has the ability / competence / knowledge to make it happen.
