Interesting but do you have pictures of the actual greens and models for the vehicles?

Thanks for the information and update. The news will be posted on my blog  ;) Hopefully I can convince some other backers as I would like to see the heavy weapons as in the blueprint on the left.

I totally agree on the seeing the models front. Im surprised its done so well with no models to show so far. I have nearly completed the APC and am working on the figures, so will post some images as it gets done.

I don't think it looks like a Rhino but that is just another opinion (if you want a GW comparison it is more a cross between a Leman Russ and a cut down Chimera).

I quite like the design apart from the doors on the side. My question would be, how do you get through the doors with the tracks running through them? I don't think the doors are necessary... you have good sized rear doors and hatches on the roof for access/egress.

Getting rid of the side doors would also take the design further away from the Rhino comparison.

THe doors open into storage spaces for putting hoses and stuff in. THe slit is so you can look in from the outside.

Yeah, that's my exact impression also.

Taking it as a given that the general style is similar to the 40K retro-WWI-in-space aethetic, I prefer the looks of this to the GW APCs (either the Rhino or Chimera). It's quite a sharp model, IMO.

If I can summon up some spare cash somewhere, I may well get in this KS.
