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.

Releases are kinda weird.

So, you see the "previews" for them spaced throughout the month courtesy of CB's many partners.
The end of the month sees Corvus Belli themselves showcasing the release.

It will not be until the following month that the previewed miniatures will become available however. This is why I make up silly names like "Julust" or "Augber"--to represent it being a July preview/release but actually released in August.

@ski2060:
Sweet, Doremicom is a cool guy. He gave me my demo game of Infinity a few years back!

Augber? And you just had my stomach growling at augumber. I want that in a salad, dammit :-)

Great, thanks guys, I know a little more now.

Now I just sit and wait for the Seraph to be announced, yes?

Yeah... get in line with all the other TAG enthusiast's. Hopefully they will be shown by the end of the year.

Seems like Giraldez is getting ready for a second volume of his book in 2016:

That was confirmed on BoW last week. Around Oct 2016 for the release.

Gonna come with another sweet alternate sculpt that I'll want to buy separately off of ebay like I did Joan?

With luck there will be!

Good Luck to everyone going to GenCon.

Angel posted set up photos at GenCon on fb. Looks like at least two palettes of USARIADNA starters.

First peek of Augber's releases it seems.
Yu Jing--Tiger with Spitfire
ALEPH Steel Phalanx--Acmon(new character)
Nomads--Bandit with Light Shotgun and Assault Hacking Device.

Ooh nice. I've just ordered the Tiger with Boarding Shotgun, he's possibly my favourite model, but I'll probably use the Spitfire one more so I'll no doubt pick that up too. And I'll probably get a Bandit if I like it after seeing a proper pic.

Two more unknown models

Something Ariadnan and something Nomad.
The Ariadnan looks to be Kazak(clothing style is different to USAriadnan and Kazaks get a snowy base rather than the base that the USAriadnans have gotten with cracked riverbeds) while the Nomad looks to be Tunguskan(they made a joking statement when Acheron Falls released about "gun lawyers"...)

He's definitely Tunguskan, black is their colour. I did think Securitate but you're probably right it's more likely to be something new.

pictures so blurry

Yep, but that's GenCon for ya...at least early on.

It doesn't help that Corvus Belli tends to make sure their display cases are almost mirror reflective.

Just what Steel Phalanx need's, ANOTHER character and not more troop options! Where's our HI!!

Achilles and Ajax say hello

And quite frankly, Acmon is meant to be the "character" for a new unit. And if I were you, I would be less concerned about a new HI and would be more concerned about getting a basic Thorakitai SWC box.

I wish CB would remember that Aleph isn't just Steel Phalanx. I think there's been like one non-SP Aleph release in the last 2 years.

I know Achilles and Ajax, Ajax is a regular feature in my lists. I mean a new unit HI, but yeah a dedicated Thorakitai unit box would be great!

Didn't Aleph get three troops this year? You got a generic Agema, a Naga (I think that was this year), and a Dactyl.

We got a Dactyl but I don't remember us getting the other two.

Also, I suspect that Kazak guy and Tunguska guy are both characters. Tunguska guy seems to be carrying a briefcase. Possibly another briefcase gun like the CSU.

Someone is suggesting they are models for the upcoming Infinity RPG, as "two models" being shown at GenCon were purported to be RPG models.

And it's now confirmed that the Hacker? Is an Alguacile Hacker.

I'm hereby advising players do not buy this model .

This is blatantly obnoxious that rather than manning up and admitting they messed up by overcompensating with the CAD sculpts for Icestorm and they need to fix that box, they release a "proper" scaled Alguacile Hacker because otherwise it looks bad for them.

Honestly, I can't see myself ever bringing an Alg hacker over the other options Nomads get so I don't see myself buying this one anyway.

I figured he looked like an Alguacile. Not surprised. I'd have considered getting him if he had the funky gear from the old figure. As it is, I'm fine with my Corregidor box version, even if she does wind up looking like a teenager compared to the rest of yhe Algs.

Oooh Tiger with Spitfire.. !

I got an 'in stock' message from Element Games about the Classified Deck cards here in the UK. Not sure if this is the general release that has just happened through retailers?

Well you might be surprised how effective is having one in some army lists especially as a back up.

Steel Phalanx is mean to be a characters list it is designed to have them in and it illustrates their quirky and individual nature in contrast to the more regular armies, if nothing else the "background" nameless troopers seem to be the odd ones.

There is one thing I deeply do not understand about your reasoning, the CAD design does what you always screamed about, makes the range unified and cuts out the scaling diferences between sculptors, why exactly you are screaming against in now?

If you thought for a second that the issue was "waah, waaah CAD design!", then clearly you need to work on your English.

It is the same issue as the fact that they kept harping and harping on about how "Human Sphere and Campaign Paradiso will work just fine with N3 and won't need revisions! You can buy those books now and be totally okay!". They sell the product as one thing when in fact they already know it's a fabrication.
Corregidor starter set was to be the "start of the redesigned Corregidor line".
It was invalidated in almost the same amount of time as the Imperial Knight Codex was.

And you can't for a second pretend that they were unaware of this fact releasing the CJC starter. They said they started Icestorm roughly two years prior, and started shifting to CAD while still releasing a ton of models as hand sculpts. It's an underhanded tactic and people constantly questioned them on it only to be reassured.

In any regards...
Grunt SWC models sighted!


Yay! I'll be buying a set of these to go with my USAriadna box.

The Alguacil hacker is separate because it's in the FRRM list, nothing to do with needing to fix it from the CJC box.
