Subject: The NEW INFINITY News & Rumors Thread - USAriadna on Pg. 143!
Ariadna is a less popular faction, plus it will take time to see whether lots of people dive into that faction and drive production of new models for it. People get bored of talking about new models for 40k/WFB/AoS after a few days as well.
Though arguably Corvus Belli did a criical mistep by not including a werewolf riding in a motorbike's sidecar and firing an HMG. Just sayin'.
If Corvus Belli are moving offices, I sincerely hope that their new place is constructed entirely from laser-cut MDF.

The werewolf would be using the sidecar as a shield... duh.

Not really sure what you mean. Like, it's a big box release, for one new (sub)faction. Awesome! Now let's move on for people who didn't immediately preorder

Bear in mind that these will be an Augumber release--shown in August; released sometime in September.
Bostria stated that the Grunt SWC box would be shown at GenCon and would be one of three(or so--IIRC) releases. Julust(July showcase, released in August) is just USAriadna starter box so they don't get bottlenecked like they did with Icestorm.
Their goal, currently, is to get USAriadna packed hardcore for the foreseeable future like they did with the Tohaa in Campaign: Paradiso because simply put it's a "new faction" for all intents and purposes.

I am still very excited about it after putting in my pre-order.
Just now... it's waiting-mode.
I've had a handful of Ariadna figs but no real motivation to paint/play. Seeing this box, I really, really like it and now that motivation has spiked. Even arranged for a demo game tomorrow. It's been WAY too long since I last played!

I thought CB was done with their big move? That was a big story for them early last winter.
Nope, that's when they started planning the move. The actual move is happening now, see Angel's FB feed where he trolled people about leaving CB instead of leaving the old premises.

Well, 3 of those models in that pic appear to be USAR. The other may be Haqq or Yu Jing.
They could be the Minutemen (doubtful, probably a 4 man box for those) (Grunts SWC- should be a 4 man box for that as well).
It could also be the Blackjack Heavy Rangers. Those are AVA 3. Maybe a box set for them, or individual blisters.
I am hoping for the Blackjacks, maybe even the Paratroopers.

Better be some love for all the factions. I don't think CB will leave everyone but Ariadna out in the cold, but I am concerned with GenCon in the States they're gonna push the USAriadna HARD.
We're expecting what now? More Grunts, more minutemen, a new paratrooper unit, 2 types of bike units, foxtrots, etc. There's a great deal right on the horizon for USARF.
Meanwhile existing units are just dying for a new sculpt. Plenty of work to be done updating and expanding important profiles for Haqq and Yu Jing.
No sour grapes. I'm optimistic that we're in for a good show. Only time will tell...

Is that a natural 21?

It's not Blackjacks, sadly.
It's the Grunt SWC box. Bostria flat-out stated that we'd see them at GenCon.
The final model hasn't had its base fully done yet, but the patterning matches the other USAR models.

They were hyping USA rather hard, nothing out of their norm. However, I hope we're going to see something else too. Even few teasers for re-made HS profiles, new hacking programs or any potential plans for existing sectorials would be interesting to hear. I hope USA is a standard mould for other sectorials.

It'll be the grunts box. I doubt there are any releases for other factions this month. The USAriadna army pack probably ate up massive amounts of production. The Grunts are for next month, along with who knows...
Remember that CB will be saving some reveals for their own Inter-Planetary tournament 2 weeks after GenCon.
One week to go on those USAriadna box pre-orders. Miniature Market now has it listed for $80.

Newb questions incoming: are new models released every month (Asking due to all the 'April's new releases' type posts)? If so, when are they usually previewed?
Ta in advance.
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.
