Try downloading it again. I had some trouble getting the offline Army builder file. But it was fine the next day. The update has a bug in it somewhere. So I'd hold off on that for the time being.

Oh, news ( making my PH roll to Dodge the banhammer ) Apparently the Tikbalang/Uhlan release is delayed until June. No word on what is replacing it that I could see. (I'm not spending a whole lot of time poking around the official forums to find out. One never knows what one might catch.)

I'd expect a filler model at least (Locust, Friar), although I wouldn't mind Bagh Mari box.

I've read on 4chan that Campaign Paradiso is the next book that is going to be updated.

HS3 is supposed to be a combination of updated HS2 and CP actually.

It'll probably be the Bagh Mari box as we've seen the renders. And according to the latest Maya Cast they'll be redoing Campain Paradiso next, yeah. Probably why profiles like Ko Dali weren't in HSN3.

I don't have the book and only took quick skim through the PDF. Didn't see anything about campaign progress, spec-ops and paradiso missions. I was excited for Paradiso, because before it, Infinity didn't have much scenario variety. If they also add a new sectorial and a new unit per faction I could see myself buying it.

Renders mean nothing. We've seen the renders for the female Foxtrot Ranger and no real timeframe is known for her.

So, do we know what the next book is going to be, or is it too early to say for sure?

Because I was thinking/hoping it was going to have the Svalarheima sectorials in it...

No, CB has said the next book will be working title Anchorage Fall should be basical a Human Sphere 2 with the amount of new Profiles and Sectionals. Then their is the new quote from Carlos basically saying he would like to redo the campaign from Campaign Paradiso in time for the next book. As he thinks (rightly so) the missions could be done much better.

Acheron Falls that book will have the Svalarheima sectorials in it, and all the other new sectorials (and MRRF and SEF presumably). I dunno if that'll come first or they'll redo C;P (if they're going to) before it.

It's a combination of HS and CP in units and unit rules. CB said this quite a while ago that it would have all of the units and relevant rules from HS and CP, but would not contain the campaign system or spec ops (which are part of the campaign system, despite being hijacked by the ITS crowd). I really wouldn't expect either to ever make it to N3.

Also, it would have been quite a lot more work bringing the Paradiso campaign over to N3. It was their first attempt at writing actual scenarios, and the results are hilariously varied.

To put it mildly. I think there's enough scenario variety at this moment that it doesn't warrant update to Paradiso. Although I definitely wouldn't mind seeing few of them updated and put in download section, emergency station being my favourite scenario of all times.

That's not Rao. Rao has better hair.

If the Tikbalang and that other TAG are delayed to redesign them to be tactical rubble free, that'll be acceptable.

I suspect that Acheron Falls-- or whatever it ends up being called-- will include the updated Spec Op and Campaign rules, and the new sectorials. Possibly the revised scenarios too. Maybe we need to think of it as the N3 version of Campaign: Paradiso.

Bagh Mari to replace the TAG's release slot? Or the Wu Ming? What other renders have we seen that have no release date yet?

I dunno... I'd be inclined to think its logistical delays due to being stretched by HSN3 shipping.

It's not. Whenever there's issues like this, it has to do with production issues not shipping.

Yeah, it generally means casting/mold-making issues. If you read Gutier Lusquiños's article on the Mag Guard you can see that he mentions this part of the process, whereby they made changes to Maggie so that they could cast the mini. Here http://infinitythegame.com/article.php?id=183 IIRC, The Diomedes miniature was delayed for this reason, and a few other minis.

The TAGs will be along soon enough. CB knows that they will sell very, very well.


I'd be fine getting the Bagh Mari sooner rather than later.

I got my HSN3 rulebook today. Very nice. Very thick. My biggest gripe though is that their editor or someone needed to go over the pics they used again. There's a lot of super blurry, pixelated images that were clearly blown up to fit the space on the page. There's a lot of just plain poor images in the book because of it.

The thing I like most though is that they have alternate schemes for a lot of units. I wish there were more of those. The fluff blurbs about the alternate colors was a nice touch as well (like the QK Iguana). It should help in coming up with color schemes. I wouldn't mind if they put out a few more of those alternate schemes.

Haven't come across any dodgy pictures yes, but will keep an eye out.

Glad to hear there are alt colours for the QK Iguana. Especially since mine is coming up on my painting list.

It looks like someone messed up the PDF print export settings, so that in some cases the working preview image got included instead of the actual image file.

That sort of error is supposed to be caught during the proofing process. Shame. The included artwork is part of the reason to buy the HS books.

I counted exactly 4 photo shots that were pixelated, and maybe 12 that were a bit blurry. I would not call that "a lot", given that both books contain more than 200 photos plus a lot of drawings.

It's a mistake, for sure, but after reading this post, I was expecting much worse.

The only one that is actually annoying is the shot of the new Gujiya.

I'm reading on the official forums that the 'new Black model is awesome'. Have I missed something, has it been shown?

2 Combined Army releases in a single month? Be still my heart and wallet...

One of them is just existing releases in one army box though (CA starter, drones, and Rodoks).

I think I'll need a clearer, painted pic of the Bagh Maris before I make a decision on them. It'll be weird having a bunch of PanO without their neat little antenna fins.

There are a few of them, not really enough to annoy but a shame in the context of how much effort must have gone into the rest of the book.

Not gonna lie, I really wish they had done that for the Bolts.

Bolt Antennae are great: They're moulded in as small portions of the backplates of the helmets. Dunno what anyone really would complain about there. They also break up the helmet shape.

It's not the traditional 'two ball-socket' PanO Ear Antennae that break often ,or god help you, the 'teeny pit with no connection' back antennae stuff like the old Croc Men or old Bagh Mari had...

It's impossible to put them on a wrong side too. I've glued a lot of the antennas before realising how exactly they're supposed to fit. I wasn't paying attention at this when I was fiddling with the glue.

Bagh Mari box is coming at really awkward time for me.

I really don't know why one would complain about the bolts, complain about the side antennas especially after the new father knight but the bolts?
