I like it!!!  :love:

A good match for my Kraftrrustungtruppen... And a Tommie, which offers a little variety from the usual German vs American games.

Interesting, and indeed rather British... but somehow, I prefer the original PX Dreadnought suit:



Edit: Judging from the Title ("Storm of Steel" being a translation of "In Stahlgewittern"?), could this rather be for a WW1 setting rather than the WW2-Projekt X?

Most of these WWII power suits just look too futuristic. This one follows that trend. Just putting a Tommy's tin hat on a mech does not make for a 1940s alternative reality look.

As a Tommy of the far future it is fine, but it just doesn't say PULP WORLD WAR TWO to me.

Is it supposed to be a suit, as if there is a pilot inside?

If so, he is one skinny brit.

Still, it has its charm.

He's a robot not a suit. There will be several different ones apparently.

I don't know much more. I do know that they will be 1/48th scale and that they will be part of a new line and not part of the Projekt X line. I know that they're robots as well. I'll hopefully get more information soon, and when I do, I'll share.
