i think they have gone too far with the circle/block/triangle themes.

dope stuff

Yeah, it's not perfect. The photoshop and the concept art posted above look great.

This is a little too clunky, too messy. But I don't mind the square look, and the helmet is awesome. I like how close it looks to the PS1 Rexo.

Hopefully customization options will let me perfect this...

Am I the only one to see this? That helmet looks like a covenant grunt...

LOL SO TRUE!

The concept art demonstrates my point perfectly. You don't have huge gaps between the boots and knee-pads, or the thigh-plates and waist-armour, or the gauntlets and arm-plates etc.

I think you need to blame the lore.

I don't think so. None of their weapons, nor the infiltrator, the medic, the light assault, the engineer or any NC vehicles have had the "junkyard" aesthetic yet. The NC obviously aren't resource-starved enough to have to send people out in incomplete sets of armour.

This just in, heads are smaller than your upper torso.

Looks like a bunch of cardboard boxes with some sheetmetal plates stapled on.
Works for me.

Do you want me to do a quick color-balance photoshop magic of the TR rexo (HA) so it'll look scrapmet-glued too?

Looks terrible, having trouble making my friends want to play NC now.

I think I finally get the whole design philosophy of NC armor. It is aimed at providing a natural advantage over other empires through a boxy facility wall/equipment camouflage !

It's the cost of freedom.

To me, it looks slightly funny. But I think that was the goal of the artists involved.

I thought the NC armor in PS1 was slightly funny looking as well.
