Sectorial armies are going to be in the forthcoming "Human Sphere" reprint.

Current Map of Dawn is in the N3 core book-- the one with all the background. Not the rulebook.
Army V has the new Janissary profiles. Missile Launcher and, Lol, A new BSG profile with a tinbot.

Now let the USAriadna deluge begin...

New Micro Art Studio terrain for INFINITY.

I always like the billboards and advert terrain for infinity. Are there any like them that are more generic though?

I like signage too, adds flavor and makes it feel a bit more lived in.

There are a few sets floating around online, you can also just use a little photoshop (or paint if you prefer) magic to trim up pretty much any scifi thing you like to fit to the bilboards once printed.

I dunno about official sets though.

Have couple of questions;

1. What books have the Sectorial Armies?

2. I keep hearing about a map of Dawn, where is it?

Thanks in advance.

The book "Human Sphere" has the sectorial armies, however the N3 reprint of HS is....within a year I think. However the N2 HS book will have what you need to know. The map of dawn is in the fluff half of the N3 rule book.

Really like those MAS buildings, but I can't help but think the Systema Gaming buildings will be cheaper.

These new Micro Arts buildings look lovely. I'm guessing that they're foamcore, though.

Foamcore? That seems unlikely unless you mean a different material than the one I'm thinking of.

Whatever happened with the infinity wiki?
It would be nice to have that back up and running.
At this point it might be better if CB held off and coordinated the final release of HS with the wiki coming online.

Sorry, "Hardfoam" is what they refer to it as. Sounds like some sort of foamcore type material to me.

Oh, no, those will be one piece, solid buildings then. Not sure exactly what their 'hardfoam' is, but it's some sort of hard resin type material...very durable, I've seen some of their existing pieces using the product and it's decent.
Foamcore would be the card-foam-card board that people use for scratch building terrain.

I think we will find out when HS will be coming next week, BoW just said in their backstage vlog that the stuff they filmed with Carlos is being aired all next week. That filming was about USAriadna (we heard him shouting USA USA in thew background of another video) so I suspect more information will be out during this next infinity week.

Some terrain companies do use foamcore, I can't remember the company name now but the Bourak terrain is foamcore.

I love those MAS buildings.

Now if only I knew a way to get them to Japan without paying through the nose.

The rules for Sectoral Armies and their Linked Teams are in Human Sphere, while the while the lists that tell you how the Sectoral Armies change your awa/unit availabilty are in the back of N3 Unit Profiles book, both of which are available as free PDFs from infunity's site.

Antenocity Workshop has some nice billboards, Hero. They are even official. They also offer display screens en masse. http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/

The MAS buildings, nice, but I prefer the Warmill ones more. They offer more versatility and are better to play with. They MAS buidlings are a combination of hardfoam and mdf. At least that´s the way they usually do them.

HS should be published closer to the end of this year.

Those new buildings are nice.

Also, first 'new style' non-Joan female HI, yay!

I'm waiting for re-sculpted Joan, non LE release. They'll probably move unto MO after they finish with NCA. Although I'd strongly like to see some Acontecimento projects after NCA. We all know Acontecimento is the only real PanO army until Varuna release.

Still nope. Foamcore is an inner layer of PVC foam with outer layers of paper or cardboard. The foam makes the core.

Plastcraft, who make the Bourak terrain, used 'foamed PVC', or closed cell PVC.

They actually are different.

Ah okay. So it's like the foam without the card..?

Foamed PVC is called "foamcore" as well. At least in plumbing circles. It's drain pipe with layers of solid PVC over a foamed PVC core. Lighter than solid core pipe but not for pressure.

In case anyone cares...lol

So...do we have any other releases for June not shown?

Nope, we've seen everything for Juneuly releases now.

Don't expect whatever the USAriadna stuff is to be a general release for Julust, but to be a GenCon "early release".

Any word on a gencon exclusive model, like the cosplay bolt from last year?

You wouldn't have found out until around this time, so keep an eye open I guess?

In any case, it likely will be available via their webstore--as another big middle finger to the independents who stock their stuff.

as opposed to a middle finger to almost everybody who plays the game and can't get to gencon?

Stores that really care can pick them up online either as a service to their customers or to resell at whatever they think fair when they're no longer available

I was under the impression that the exclusives were just alternate sculpts, not a new model with exclusive rules? How does that screw over independent stockists?

Bear in mind that I'm not saying it's a bad thing they do the "GenCon exclusive models", but that's not all they do at GenCon(or other conventions).
They also do a limited release of a big kit, which won't be available to those independents until December/January. This year it looks to be the USAriadna starter set.

Given that the limited releases also tend to be things that nobody would want multiples of but already have existing rules, it becomes a case of flipping off the independents.

See above.

Also? As of now, the Tabitha Bolt is still the only way for a player to get a "Drop Bear" equipment marker, which would be like if they sold a webstore exclusive Interventor with Fast Panda and then the Interventor box hadn't included the Fast Panda.

I can't tell if that's a boonie hat or a cowboy hat on the guy up above...

Really hope it's a boonie.
