And Wulvers are in between right? They're the kids of a Dog Face and a human I think. Not that they're in USAriadna it seems.

Good to know, thanks!

And Dog Faces/ Dog Warriors are created when a pregnant woman is bitten by an Antipode.

Not a huge fan of the standing upright werewolf guy but the rest of these are great.

That Motorcycle is AWFUL. Look at the controls for feths sake, then she has a pump shot gun for some odd reason.

The rest are great, if a bit uninspired. I kind of would have liked a bit more flair personally, more scarfs and beards and a few more customized weapons but oh well, still nice.

First of all, sir, the controls are custom and have very sensitive high performance non-linear steering compensators to ensure accrurate, reliable, and responsive handling under combat conditions.

And secondly, sir, there is nothing wrong with the choice of weapon. Many notable All-American soldiers have given absolutely glowing testimony with demonstrable results on the effectiveness of pump-action shotguns for mounted vehicular warfare. In fact, a former American governor has attributed much of his military success to such a pairing.



And thirdly(!), it looks cool. So good day, sir!

that's a lever action, Dentry, but A for effort...

i am really liking the look of some of these new models...
that Grunt stalking forward with his gun raised is the pick of the lot, for me...
i love the striding poses...

the motorcycle looks cool to me...
i like that there are now a few very distinct types of bike...

CB just keeps turning up the awesome another notch every year, and they had already sold me from the very first Infinity release a decade ago...
it's like the gift that keeps on giving!!!

cheers
jah

Wow. That US Ariadna pack looks amazing. I would be highly tempted if I was not already waist deep into painting my Yu Jing.

Yeah, I've only really had eyes for Nomads before this but thanks for those models I'm feeling a sudden patriotism and desire to pre-order.

Your "facts" cannot hurt me.

Wow, still really difficult to find some decent res shots of these (I will keep an eye out on Angel's FB site)



The style of motorbike is actually suited to what would be needed (although perhaps with some more nobbly tyres!) Look at some of the big adventure/tourer bikes on the market from KTM and BMW, they look very similar.

Like that it's a slightly more sci-fi concept of something already on the market, kind of like Penthiselia's/Yojimbos machine.

Well, if the army-box does not sell too shabbily we wil see more army-boxes for the other factions .

That odd reason would be a beautiful +6 modifier in the first 8" of range for the weapon. Boarding shotguns are awesome, but you really need to get close to the enemy, and a high mobility unit like motorbikes are perfect for this. Also I wouldn't be that sure it's a pump action, there are a fistful of semi - automatic models IRL, it could be the case.

I don't care that much about Chain Rifles now,so I was expecting Light or Boarding shotguns. I think I'm gonna like USAriadna, I'll better try to save some money...

If it was a pump action shotgun I rather doubt the grip would be that far back on the slide while the operator is already (apparently) pointing it at something/someone. To my limited knowledge, that looks more like a fixed grip on what could very well be a semi-auto shotty.

Yep, Semi-Auto. Point and click

I'll be getting this box, by hook or by crook.

I like almost all of the sculpts. The Minuteman is kinda wonky.. that breastplate and rigid armor look a little impractical, but whatever. It 's a new sculpt and I'll take it
I wish the female Grunt had a chest rig on like her buddies. I understand though, they have to give some greater visual clue to differences in sexes on models for tabletop.

Now.. lets speculate on when we think these will drop? Pre-orders are probably going to go from Monday the 6th until the end of Gencon (August 2nd). So, do we see these shipping in August? Or more likely September?

I have little doubt that this will be available at The GenCon.

This is absolutely their GenCon bundle. I wonder if anything else will be added though? (Icestorm last year and the cosplay bolt and bootleg Penny-- thankfully not Bootyleg Penny.)

I suspect shipping will be as it was with Icestorm-- so September. Assuming of course-- a silly thing to do, I know-- that CB correctly estimates demand and produces accordingly. They have a history of wildly underestimating demand... a short history anyway


An Army box for next year? I'd say very likely. The pattern is release something impressive at GenCon, and then the books at Christmas, so some sort of Sectorial Box ( ooh, maybe the Caliphate or Svalarheim, also ) next Gencon and Acheron Falls at Christmas 2016. Pure Speculation on my part.

If nothing else, I'll get the Maverick to use as a Kum biker. I want my biker gang to have different style bikes. I'm not that impressed with the Nazarovas. :S

Awesome stuff.
Probably a $100-$120 box with similar pre-order like last year with Icestorm.

I have a feeling this won't sell as wildly as Icestorm did. People were really itching for an infinity starter and a first taste of N3. Not to mention that Icestorm included the most popular factions with a vanilla assortment of units.
While I want this box, it seems unlikely that I'll pick it up. It's just not practical for me to start collecting USAriadna when I've already got too much for Yu Jing, Nomads, a smattering of PanO and a box of Galwegians I haven't even opened yet.

I'm just glad it isn't a Tohaa box. Lord knows I couldn't afford to pick it up right now.

I want to say that the set turned out better than I expected, but honestly, I wasn't actually expecting CB to screw this one up. Everything looks, on the whole, very nice. I really like the dismounted motorcycle chick, but I probably won't be able to track her down for a reasonable price.

Yeah she's a great mini and could be repurposed for many other profiles.

Do people ever use dismounted models in real games? While many bikers are impetuous (aren't they all impetuous actually?), couldn't you dismount a biker unit to get into cover? Use them to rush forward to a key position and lock it down by dismounting and taking cover? Certainly would be a more reliable method than relying on AD...

The only thing preventing me from picking up Ariana was no bikes.
they have bikes now.

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

Only this model and Yojimbo have dismounted models. I'd certainly consider having my Aragotos hop off their bikes if it weren't for the expense of buying a second box set and a load of Zanshi to convert them up.

Me too. I am secretly hoping they have joined forces with Dark Horse to let them do comics for them and this is a bit of a hint.
I would prefer that to some rookie with no concept of IP just pinching something they found on the net and flipping it.

Some better pics of the minis in that vid, it's well worth watching.

Didn't realise that this was anything more than an army box set, interesting to find out it has the army/mission book and that playing mat.

Confirmation of the prices as well then, $100 for the army box.

I did post the screenshots of the book, and the mat w/ the re-skinned moto.tronic stuff on it. Also the dice.

$100? Wonder what the Minature Market price will be then. 20% off is usual....

There seems to be a Gencon special edition Van Zant too:
