Yes, i see what are you referring to. It's strange, but, to me at least, those bases seems to be smaller than the ALEPH's ones, isn't it?

Spoiler:

On a less Daktari-note, rumor on the forums says that the French Ravage Magazine reports the following for December 2011:
- 4 Morlock (Nomads)
- Tokesotsu (Yu Jing)
- 4 Posthumans (Aleph)
- Zerat with Sniper Rifle (Combined)
- al-Hawwa with Sniper Rifle (Haqqislam)

Ninja'd by weeks by Alpharius it seems.

You sure it was me doin' the Ninja?

I don't remember any of that stuff being reported by me?

Maybe it wasn't me, maybe it was... Alpharius?

Hah, pardon. It's BobbaFett.
We all know that Alpharius didn't die; he was simply transferred to the Star Wars universe and became the Fetts.

You should use your mod-powers to occasionally change your name to Omegon.

So we have here another edition of Angel Giraldez's cruel game.

Anyone else noticed how BIG those two miniatures are?
I think they will probably be some WarmaHordes stuff or even the Jotum...

God he is so evil with that game. He does the Anima Tactics stuff too, so now that I'm into that as well those pics are double torture.

I'm guessing the upper right is an Iguana (wishful thinking), but I have NO clue what the lower right could be. That is a rather crazy shape to be Infinity unless it's an insane dynamic figure which the tears would flow.

On the lower pic the model on the lower right is the Prowler with ADHL I think...

I would love for it to be the Iguana, but...

...but the Iguana is not even already scheduled.

Crap, I've seen the price of the Traktor Mul, 37.50€. The remote boxes for other armies like ALEPH or Nomads are 28€.

That's quite pricey :\

Here is a German video with the new Aleph proxies in it.

worth checking out

Well that's disappointing. All female Proxies makes me a sad panda.

Im in the same boat as Kanulwen... Been waiting for ages for these and when they finally came i get this.....

Loved the consept art, but the poses of them looks like crap..

The guys that did the vid, did a rather crap job on the MK3 assembly, but at least it's a sneak peak. Can't wait to see how angel paints those up.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Personally I like them, they capture in essence what the proxies are, humans playing a FPS lol.

EDIT: removed pics, required a Infinity forums account

Your pictures no worky, BlueDagger.

Yeah, they all go to a page that you nned to log in to see.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Mk1 Proxy, but I'm relieved it's not doing the schoolgirl leg-up skip that it looked like initially. Either way, it's close enough to be somewhat of a disappointment.

I'm liking the sniper and the spitfire models, but I was hoping they'd have some sort of theme that tied them together. As it stands, the three models look like completely different units with nothing tying them together.

The Mk1 is wearing slutty civvies and being clumsy.
The Mk2 is wearing a helmet and hex-clothing and being casual.
The Mk3 is wearing heavy armor and being authoritative.

I would have loved them if they tied them together somehow. Regardless, Mr. Midas-touch Giraldez will find a way. Worst case, I'll have to paint them a slightly different scheme and write numbers on their thighs or something.

I wonder if the Mk2 will have a Hacker-arm option.
I also find it a strange relief that the Mk2 and the Mk3 Proxies are the only female models in the entire line that don't have heels. Even the Assassins have heels.

What is that fourth Aleph base from Giraldez's teaser?

Pics extracted from the video, i hope this could help

Proxy Mk3





Concept sketch of Mk3



Proxy Mk2 (i think)







Proxy Mk1







Proxy Mk1 with medikit (i think)




I really like them, specially the Mk2 pose is like "I know that you and me know that i'm better than you..."

I hope these photos can be seen!

cheers!

All I want from the Mk2 Proxy is the helmet and sniper rifle. I'll be getting a few spare Naga Hackers, and can easily do a swap that way.

MKI's the only dud of the bunch for me, and probably only until Angel paints it up!

I don't understand the obsession with miniskirts over armor.

Does every fraction get a power shopper?

She's the Power Shopper: OF DOOOM.

The Mk 2 is very...perky.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one to see the ridiculousness in the Mk 1 getting a purse. Do the medics from other factions get purses, too?

For those that aren't awe of the fluff behind these...

In Infinity a device called a "cube" has been invented that once implanted into the brain it records all memories and the essenence of what makes tha person who they are. When the person dies they await a new body to be made for them and during that time they can download into an MK Proxy to have the experiance of being in a conflict.

Now imagine yourself in a fake body without any real fear of being "killed", you would basically be the equivalent of a person playing a first person shooter.

What's one of the most popular things in most FPS? Looks. Why is the MK1 in a skirt? because she can be. She isn't heavily armored so her avatar might as well look good and the "purse" is a medical kit with style lol. Why does the MK3 have crazy sailor moon hair? Because it looks cool.

Yeah, but my point about the female Proxies was that ALEPH is supposed to use both male and female Proxies. The Posthumans entry in the book is even written about a male Proxy, with a photo of a female Posthuman/Proxy underneath.

It just irks me that it's another case of seemingly "pandering" to a certain crowd, much like the Daktari or the Vixen. I could live with it on the Deva Functionary model, since Functionaries are supposed to be 'shaped' to interact with specific locales. Whether it's a middle-aged, kindly and wise looking male/female to be a negotiator or a strict matriarch clad in heavy armor wielding a battle axe--there's a purpose to it. The Proxies just feel like it was fanservice.

Well kinda to be expected, they wanted to make a sculpts that the majority of their fan base would enjoy. They had concept art of a female so they went that route with the mini. Eventually there will be a male sculpt of these as most commonly agree there will be an expansion of the GS: Ghost rules.

I'm sure the majority of their fanbase would also appreciate a male sculpt.

There's no way I'm alone in this.

The all female proxies doesn't seem that odd to me. If there's one thing I know about male videogamers, it's that often their main character is male, but as soon as they think no one's looking they "try out" the female character options, especially if the female character is hot. I can imagine a "temporary" body working very similarly.

Considering the two Asura models are essentially nude, there's a rather engaging thread going on in the Infinity forums regarding male Asura.
Then again, there is also a thread-petition going on in support of a female Wulver for the opposite (or perhaps the same?) reason.

I usually look down on these people as desperate degenerates, but sometimes it's unavoidable. All my Guild Wars characters are male except the one class where I couldn't stand the look of the flamboyant harlequin look of the male.

Then again, if anyone has seen the movie "Gamer", Valletta's character is essentially a human proxy being controlled by a rather vile male:
NSFW:

The only thing redeeming about "Gamer" was that James Roday and Maggie Lawson were in it as a pair of ridiculously offensive newscasters.

However, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks the gender split for some of this stuff is bizarre.

You are alone at wanting a male sculpt with a mini skirt
BTW, now this shopping cart of DOOM makes sense
