Yeah, he does. Wasn’t sure from the render but I’m impressed.

Having an old De Fersen model I'm proud of the paintjob on, I'm looking at this and thinking 'if those arms are separate, that's a FK assault hacker model sorted'.

So, instead of holding a bolt pistol, the mini is doing the Force-Choke©; or is it the Force-Push© ?

The Space Marine® Librarian™ is strong in this one.

Zoe + π-well and the Hakims + nasmats still to come. Saving the best for last.

Definitely not a choke. Might be a push or that thing where they throw you around by what appears to be grabbing you by the center of your chest.

I've seen May 27th floated as the 'release' date for the May releases(which is what these really are).

Is there a good place to go to see the last few months' releases?

I've lost track a bit and want to make sure I'm not forgetting something.

Not really. What months did you really want to see?

March was Blackjack with APHMG, Candy Cloud, Shikami, Asawira, and Kurgat--plus the repack of Nisses.
We'll be seeing the JSA Army Pack and Uprising shipping soon-ish for anyone who ordered from anywhere other than CB most likely. Those, technically, are the "April" releases.

I have April(May really) and June releases listed in a thread down in the Infinity forums.

De Fersen looks much better painted.

Good, but not good enough to make me want to replace the De Fersen I alreayd have.

It's a shame they didn't include a helmeted head option. That'd make him something I would be interested in.

Agreed.

Yes. Their facebook page has all the release photos (along with dates) going back several years.

Has here been any hint of the next round of releases?

More than a hint.

June:
-Tunguska Jurisdictional Command
-Keisotsu Butai,
-Yu Jing support pack,
-Veteran Kazak AP HMG,

-Hassassin Ragik repack
-Aristeia Smoke and Mirrors

Cool, cheers mate. Glad I held off getting the YJ support pack now.

*a month later, the Zhanshi rebel and start a mercenary faction of their own*

You've doomed us all! Never be a Yu Jing player waiting for a resculpt before you buy the model! If you don't buy now, CB will assume we don't use it and pawn it off to another faction!

That made me laugh perhaps more than was necessary.

It’s funny because it’s apparently true according to bostria.

HAKIMS!

With some baller music.

Everything is true according to Bostria.

Especially if it upsets people.

FINALLY!!!

I am definitely getting a box of those. I don't even care what they do.

Edit: I noticed that the Hakims have the same loadout as Cube Jagers and also the air tank thingy on their backs. What are the odds Haqq is made their own PJ Jumpers? I hope so that would be about the coolest unit next to the Fasid and Magribia that Haqq has.

The Hakim are verryyy cool.

Do we have Hakim profiles yet?
Do they have AD:parachutist or something? Didn’t they say they’re we’re basically tomcats?

No profiles yet.

Current thinking is they have the same pack as the Cube Jager so they would get the same level of AD.

My first thought:

I believe it was suggested they're a Haqqislamite version of Tomcats, yeah.

Three nasmats? Intriguing... They look a bit wasp-like/insect-like. I like the current nasmat look a little better, but these look good too.

The Hakims have USAriadna pants? The minis are nice enough, however, they do not look traditionally 'Haqq' to me. The helmet is vaguely Djanbazan and the short coat is Govad, but the rest..

I wonder if they indicate a different direction for the Ramah Task Force, appearance-wise.

I'm thinking that's definitely what it is. The Hakim pant style is, for the most part, in Haqqislam style (a little bit baggier than USARF stuff, no armor plates attached, etc)--but it's interesting that they're the first thing we've seen without the armored shin guards or leg-wraps like the recent Daylami had.

It might also just be that this is meant to be 'quilting' for an AD trooper, as they tend to get bulkier clothing lately.

They lack the knee pads which are fairly iconic for Haqq.

I wonder what to expect from the Halqa, when they finally appear. I do think that they'll be in Ramah. No evidence to support that opinion though.

The profiles will be up at the beginning of next month, when these are officially released. I guess. I'm quite interested in seeing them. AD:1 or 2. Most likely doctor plus. Stealth, like the Cube Jaegers?

The three nasmats are because there’s 2 doctors ones, one for each of the Hakim, and then an engineer one in the updated style to match.

Sure, but why include the engineer nasmat? Unless there is an engineer coming soon? One already gets an engineer nasmat in the Haqq support pack. Haqq has all of 2 engineers (Najjarun and Kaplan.)

CB's packaging choices can be a bit baffling. But we already knew that . I can always paint two of them as palbots for my ASA. These nasmats looks much nicer than the palbots, that's certain. ( to my eyes.)

Thinking about it, I like the idea that the Ramah Task Force units will be visually distinct from Vanilla, Bahram or QK.

Anyone have their Uprising book yet? I've encountered some interesting comments about it elsewhere.
