You Sir, are a scholar and a gent.


Now I can see them, I'm a big fan. I overlooked the previous two Morlocks and Bran. However with this box incoming I can see me getting all of them as reinforcements for my current Nomads.

Haha no problem.

It fits the aesthetic of the other Morlocks, but the unnaturally flowing capes stand out. Great models for those sexually deviant Nomads.

It's clever that the paint job hides the fact that there are only two different bodies here.

Also, what is that floppy CCW that's being held by the Morlock on the left?

I hate to think of the kids the blonde one can give birth to with those hips

Also looks like she has been snorting a bit too much of the good stuff - the nose and face look a bit strange

Are these guys in the hardback rules? I really need to get a copy so I can read the fluff behind some of these figures...

Yes I asked that on the previous page, does anyone know what the background is for them?

Sure do.

They're the "dispossessed" of Bakunin's multi-society. They're dosed with MetaChemistry serums to keep their violent impulses controlled, but when battle comes their aggression levels peak. They throw themselves at the enemy and smash them until none move again.

Aren't the Morlocks the ones who have changed themselves with surgeries and drugs to mimic other racial traits and advantages of creatures. Another part of the dedicadence of the Nomad fleet, in what people would do if it was available.

Sorta like what would happen if you told certain fantasy fans today for x amount of dollars we can surgically make you look like an orc but have the strength, or an elf with agility or tell a cat girl fan, yes we can give you the ears and whiskers for real.

I must admit I'm not 100% but I do remember reading the the Nomads had some 'interesting' folks under their banner.

edit - ninja'd by Kan, plus he was more accurate.

Yeah, the ones who have changed themselves with surgeries and drugs are the Uberfallkommandos.

Dammit, Bakunin is my least favourite type of Nomads. Where are some corregidor or tunguska models?

I can understand that, although I like all three of the Nomad craft backgrounds, I'd love to see some more Securitate. Seems poor Tunguska has been neglected so far.

Corregidor has had a fair bit though.


edit - oh and cheers Kan, mixed those two up. Murlocks might be more cosmetic with their changes?

But compared to Bakunin, they're as neglected as the rest.

Here is a photo of the OLD Morlocks with the NEW Morlocks.



IMHO, OLD female wins over NEW females. But NEW male figures are much better. I like the beast so much.

Wow, those figs are amazing. They totally make up for the old "bug eyes" Morlock. I'm gonna grab the old blister right away to secure the old medusa-head fig though.

Cheap irregular impetuous troops are really useful, and with smoke, MetaChemistry, and martial Arts L2 to boot for just 7 points, the Morlocks are amazing. I'd take them over my Yu Jing Shaolin monks any day.

You don't want to go overboard on irregulars, but if you want a couple cheap "supermen" to go cause trouble while the rest of your force advances, or to use as suicide troops to take out enemy fireteams, they're awesome. With Chain rifles they can pop around a corner to snipe a whole group, and even if they get shot the chain rifle still hits.

I use big clouds of impetuous (but regular) units in my Yu Jing a lot (the Kuang Shi political prisoners), and find that I often spend whole turns just launching Kuang Shi at the enemy one after another, until their troops are just worn down. For 14 points you could get 2 Morlocks, which should be plenty.

One more sneaky use for cheap irregular/impetuous troops: base defense. Take a cheap Morlock just to sit near your base (using its irregular order to suppress its impetuous move) covering any potential AD:CJ drop spots or other lanes of approach. They can shield your vulnerable command units (like EVO remotes) for cheaper than a total reaction remote. They may not shoot as much, but they can countercharge, throw smoke, etc. They're essentially living mines with greater reach. Pretty nasty for 1/4rd the cost of a Reaktion Zond.

That's it, I'm gonna have to make a Warstore order. Corvus Belli does it again!

I feel I should say - because of you guys and this thread, I have nearly 200 points of Haqqlislam on my desk.

I used to be a solely GW customer.

Same here.
I saw the Hassassin Lasiq Sniper posted on Dakka ages ago, and I thought to myself, "I must get that model".
And I did...

The main hurdle has been finding people to give me introductory games. Like, my FLGS has plenty of people that play it, but finding someone to give me a beginner run through isn't easy, and I learn game systems by playing, not particularly reading the rules through.

You are not the only one. Lasiqs are awesome models, and the Lasiq Fireteam is extremely effective.

Are you the same person?

Despite some peoples views I have never been GW only, however these latest sculpts aren't to my taste. I can apreciate, however, how they fit into and enrich the universe.

Along with the Sarissa scenery I am getting back into the 'hobby' feel of gaming again and am again actively looking forward to doing the next mini in the pile. Which is something that I had started to loose.

January's Releases are up. Unfortunately, only 2.5 new models:

Ariadna - 2nd Irregular Cameronians Regiment:


Combined Army - Shavastii Noctifier w/ Missile Launcher


PanOceania - Teutonic Knight (body and head are part of the old boxed-set model)


Old model released from Boxed Sets:
Haqqislam - Jannisary

This time you were faster, cowboy...

New INFINITY stuff

Teutonic Knights with Combi Rifle and Panzerfaust



Der Morlock Gruppen




Shasvastii Noctifers with Misile Launcher




2nd Irregular Cameronian Reg.





Janissair with AP Rifle

Although I did edit twice because I did a triple-take on that Knight.

It's rather saddening that the Teutonic Knight has the same body as the boxed-set knight, but it's really fine. Corvus Belli has been continuing this trend with Myrmidons, Morlocks, and such. At least it doesn't look as Games-Workshop-y as that Blue Morlock.

Wow. That Shasvastii Noctifer Is really striking. I love the angle on the right, he looks like a praying mantis.

For me, having this candy eye party every month is awesome.
I love how CB uploads all those images of their stuff. It is like, they know that their stuff looks great.
Their painter is extremely skillful.

Cameronian takes the pie this month.

Yes, he is: http://studiogiraldez.blogspot.com/

Argh the haqqislam stuff is so consistently awesome! But I'm already overloaded on unpainted stuff with not enough time to paint...Musnt buy new stuff till I paint what I got.

Ok, I'll probably break down and buy em anyway!

Note, that Janissary is the same one from the Haqqislam starter set. If you don't already have the other models in that set, consider getting that instead. It's cheaper per-model and also has a unique Naffatun with a light-flamethrower (which will likely be released alone sometime).
