I hope CB reads the comments on that video, because so far reception to Tag Raid is not very positive. For my part I will agree that the Tag designs are not really doing much for me.
Image dump of all the units up on FB group, just copied the faction pics here. I'm very glad I have a lot of the N3 Corregidor stuff. New designs are mostly fine, but the poses are off, half of them have tactical debris larger than the model itself and for some reason none of them want to shoot the rifles they're carrying. 4 of the 7 would rather shoot you with a pistol or stab you with a knife than use their main service weapon /facepalm. Ariadna stuff looks good, especially the 2 female ROKOTs models. Love the design of the sniper, shame she also suffers from "stand on box holding knife" pose
My wallet just cried in relief, lol. I was afraid this box was gonna make me collect both armies, but somehow neither works for me. Why the hell did they include SAS instead of Kosmosoldat?
Also yeah, far too few models actually shooting their guns instead of tripping on boxes.I might come round to the nomads, but there's no rush now.
I think the most disappointing part is that not a single one of the ariadna models screams "space" to me in particular. The para-commando is the closes, but even then, he looks more like a firefighter in that gear.

It's great to see alot of the models get updated for new editions. unlike GW, unfortunatly what CB did to the redisign of the Ariadna guns just killed most my interest in the game.
the ariadna scout sniper is a prime example. How do you screw that up when they are using cad design.
Not bad, but I'm not going to dig too far on critique, It looks like a starter box. Good batches to build off of, or trade out to your mates for extras.
I don't mind them. There's a lot of character in each of those teams to make them worth your while.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.
They're cool; not sure if they have the same wow factor Icestorm did or if its just a difference in paint scheme. To a degree, it's probably just that Tunguska came in with all the style and Corregidor is feeling a little bland these days.
In any case, they're just as good as Icestorm overall, IMO, but I don't need them at all. The Sombra and EVA are nice, but I've got all this stuff already.
Another example of tactical rocks being stupid, besides the obvious 'I'm posing for a photo' or ' the sculptor decides how you get to base your models'
Here we have 2 units in the same army and one of them is grinding on a rock formation while the other is typing on a console with her knee. If you're gonna force a certain basing theme on us at least be consistent.
I want this fad to end more than I want lower prices, GW does it all the time too.
The Ariadna half is very disappointing and I have no interest in Nomads, so it's an easy skip.

Old World Prediction: The Empire will have stupid Clockwork Paragon Warsuits and Mecha Horses
At least when the "tactical rocks" are separate pieces you can more easily replace them with something thematically appropriate to your army. But yeah, not a fan.
The teaser dropped. The minis look nice enough overall, but meh, something is lacking. Meet the new battle box, same as the old battle box maybe? Well, I'm still plowing my way through the Defiance minis, so I have no lack of paintables. It looks like this will be the first year in some time, since I started playing really, that I do not get any Infinity minis. Ah well, CB still has time to surprise me.

Yep, the downside of them doing regular in house update videos is all of this is redundant. Use to be you'd only have parts of it via bad cell phone video of a convention slide show.
Not complaining, would rather have CB doing their own videos then what it use to be but this is, as the other's stated, really just for people that are new or rarely follow the game. The concept design videos can sometimes be interesting but they swing quite widely from interesting to the same stuff just being repeated word for word from one of the previous videos.

Yeah, it's definitely helpful and better in that regard than the Military Orders video. I know that the MO one was a fluff piece to introduce the sectorial to existing players whereas this is a Code One starter video for new players. Simply having the mods on screen along with whatever skills they're from would have been a big help with the MO play through; they don't have to actually mention or talk about them but simply have them there so you can freeze frame it if you need it as a new player.
