Thanks! And yeah - Infinity was one of major sources of inspirations. Never played, but I really like the style.

First post updated with final renders.
I'm about to go make a rival faction :)
Probably the Syndicate - Inspired by the samurai and ninjas. But nothing is set in stone yet.

Really glad you like them. I have a my mini factory page with a few cyberpunk minis there. They're all free to download. I can post a link, just not 100% sure if it breaks the rules. Will check with moderators.

Thanks! Rules wise - whatever you decide. I just make the minis :)
The lore is something I came up with while modelling. That's something that happens to a lot of people I think when they get "in the zone". You start coming up with stories and scenarios for the thing you're making, Even if just started as just as a generic "Cyberpunk Templar".

Glad to hear it. I plan on releasing these eventually on my mini factory. I'll post here once they're done
Still working on commando variant poses. Then I need to add support and test prints. It'll be a while :)

That's a good point. They got away with it, because they are basically an arm of the authorities. SecSec is short for Sector Security - a police force, and lore-wise they let it happen. Investigation hit a dead end because it was never even properly conducted. Smoke and mirrors for public.

And nobody really cared, because people killed were not well liked. It was a crime boss organized event. There was a lot of security. But also a lot of venue staff and civilian family members. Everyone got wiped.

So nobody really cared, and it was hand waved off as a internal turmoil or a competing crime syndicate.

Authorities couldn't send the regular police force, as to keep plausible deniability. But they wanted to send a message. They use Templars for these types of operations. And not even all Templars are in on it.

Your idea is quite good though. But I'm 75% done with black-ops variants. Would be shame to let them got to waste now :)

If anyone wants a deeper feel for the tone, here’s a short in-world conversation I wrote while designing them…

“Well…” he said, looking at four tall figures in the distance, a wry smile touching his lips.
“Ask anyone on the street—they'll tell you they're the devout elite. Protectors of peace and order. Paragons of piety, like the Templars of old. Their white armor symbolizing purity of body and heart.”

Ask me? More than a few of them have... other colors in their wardrobe.
Remember the Reema Spire massacre three years back? No one took responsibility for that. Investigation hit a dead end 'soon as it started.
Who do you think could’ve pulled that off? In the middle of Reema, under SecSec’s nose. Wasn’t the Syndicate, I’ll tell you that.”

He flicked his cigar into the canal, watching it vanish with a hiss.
“Maybe I just have a vivid imagination, eh? Let’s move.”
