If its that or the new squalo, I know which one I'm picking. I'm sure the squalo has better stats but I'm not sure I care... Bet neoterra can't have those though...

The Seraph has all the great details to fit in with the MO. I just don't understand the pose. It looks like it's parrying an attack with the sword and resisting the force. However, it's at TAG scale.

Spoiler:
I love it, but not as much as the original artwork.
Man, that would have been a kick-ass sculpt no? A bee-yotch to assemble and base, but what a beautiful dynamic mini it would have been. Still this one is nice. I just hope they do as well with the Tikbalang, whenever they get around to releasing it. Ah well, I waited, what, 3 years for the Hunzakut LGL, so I suppose I can wait a bit longer for the Tikbalang.

I'm one step further along the path to buying CA stuff...
I dunno if it would be too powerful or work even but it kinda makes sense to me with their theme of plasma versions of guns, and Snipers and HMGs are often found on the same units where as a HMC and plasma sniper seem like different classes of weapons to be on the same unit.
And yeah when I get paid I'm ordering some CA.
Yeah, that was my thinking, too - those two weapons don't sit well together.
When I say "hilarious", obviously what I mean is "broken". Just imagine it... Burst 4, Damage 14 or 15, the crazy Plasma DA effect and the template? Damage potential of 8? Yuk...

Wow, the Hunzanut looks amazing. I'll definitely be grabbing them for my (quickly growing) stable of irregular nutjobs. What was the score on the Govads and Zhayedan? Any news on them? I've got a HB friend who is desperate for the Govad models.
I'm pretty ambivalent towards the RPG right now. I love RPGs. I love Infinity. However, D&D 5e is just the perfect RPG for me to run, so I'm doubtful that I can be bothered buying and learning another game; maybe I can convince someone to run some one-shots for me, perhaps? Regardless, I'd really like some civvie models. I always fancy having a shootout in a shopping mall, with loads of civvies and mall guards taking cover as two teams of special forces rampage through the place.

So do we have a full accounting of what will be coming out with HSN3? We've heard MRRF & SEF for Ariadna & CA respectively. Will that be all? or should we expect other sectorials to take a back seat until AF?
Also when is the next big event on CB's calendar? I know Carlos said they would be at another big tournament or seminar with more news this summer.
Is that a natural 21?

14-16 August in Vigo Spain. Read all about it here infinitythegame.com/interplanetary
There is something at the bottom of the page to switch to English, si no puedes leer el castellano.

Hunzakut should be available, at least in the US, sometime in Early October. That is about the time the N3 rule-book went up for pre-oredr, IIRC. Also, does it look like the Hunzakut's rifle has not been scaled down?
I know what you are saying about 5e. It scratches the itch nicely for me too. It is what 2nd edition AD&D should have been. I hope that the folks at Modiphius will find ways to tie in to the regular game in order to broaden its appeal. I'll check out the kickstarter, even I though I avoid them normally. I've always enjoyed reading RPG rulesets.

From my understanding in all this mass amount of data. All Sectorials that are currently present in Human Sphere (minus the MRRF and SEF, which are pushed out to AF) will be present in HSN3. It is also my understanding that the MRRF and SEF will be replaced in HSN3 by the USAriadna and New CA Sectorial.
I'm really looking forward to the INFINITY RPG - as 5E does nothing for me that 1E doesn't already do just fine - never mind the fact that this one is set in the INFINITY world!
Seeing how past Modiphius RPG Kickstarters go though I'm a bit 'worried' about what the 'get 'em all in print' price is going to end up clocking in at!

Personally I'm looking for an RPG for my group. I was trying to drum up interest in Malifaux for some Through the Breach sessions, but most of my group seems resistant to the game. Most of us already play Infinity, and I want the books for the fluff anyway.

Are they exorbitant? I have no clue about Kickstarters, other than they are generally very late to deliver.
Yes, MRRF and the Shasvastii are out of HSN3, but not out of the game. They will be back. So Nuclear M, you are correct. The Shasvastii are in need of an over-haul. MRRF though, I guess they are just bumped to make room for USAriadna. (There may be a joke in there, but someone else can make it.)
The EI sectorial, Onyx something or the other, will be interesting, to say the least. I wonder what the new units will be like. Maybe that is something we will see in the Inter-Planetary seminar.

BoW interview of Modiphius touches on Infinity RPG.
Mentioned they're taking pre-orders for it next month which is confusing since it's supposed to be crowdfunded - unless they're considered the same thing in this case: crowdfunding and pre-ordering.

I wonder if they will run it in a similar fashion to North Star/Nickstarter Frostgrave?
Seemed to be very straightforward, minimum delay the items arrived exactly when they said they would - seems like it would be more suited to something where you already have what you want to sell ready for sale.
Mentioned they're taking pre-orders for it next month which is confusing since it's supposed to be crowdfunded - unless they're considered the same thing in this case: crowdfunding and pre-ordering.
It is only confusing if you missed their Prees Release when the deal was made.
Core Book not a Kickstart but standard company release.
The rest of the book are to be KickStarter.
Around this time they also said the RPG models will get a normal release by CB. Except 1 or 2 Kickstart only ones.
Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.

I'm very pleased.
I like the new Combined box a lot, and the old drones just don't fit in with them.
I had waited on buying the drones, but I think I'll pick up the new ones.
Pretty excited about their new sectorial. I would have prefered a Symaa-only one, but Umbra are awesome.
I will destroy that Tohaa cat whenever I can in a fit of jealous rage. And that new Iago. Stupid sexy Tohaa.
