Thanks. After a while of making some pretty bad custom designs, I just decided to use Metru torsos and build out from there. That way each Toa has an overall uniform design, but still can look very individualistic as well.

Funny thing about the Thrones is that they all translate to something that should be fitting for them. Lodern and Resana are both derived from "blaze" and "lightning fast", respectively, in German. I've done this with a lot of stuff, actually, although I usually use more obscure or dead languages. I probably will change them later on, though.
