Damn, I love the new Szalamandra. So much better looking. I'm still hoping for an actual shooting pose on it. Something like the Fuerbach Sogarat's pose would be nice.

I know I do, and yes, I'm still a bit miffed that the new one looks almost nothing like it...
And I couldn't save the Caskuda, so...

At least the Nomads still have the Geckos holding the old-style bubble-armor anime mech design. I guess it somewhat makes sense for the sinister and rich Tunguska to have something look a bit newer and high-tech.

I love this classic mini, but he is just TINY by the current standards.
Geckos are bigger. I bet some of the new super HI are bigger.
This TAG should be one of the biggest in the game.

Is that a natural 21?

That new Szally looks really good.
The old mini put me off - there is something about its podgy, short, limbswhich just made it look awful when compared to the other TAG's.

Looking forward to the Gen Con reveals - do we have any thread regulars actually at the convention?

Pah, there is no opinion--the new one looks like a great stand-in for the Raicho!
All seriousness, Tunguska's redesign has been fantastic so far. Can't wait to get my hands on the Kriza Borac.

Couldn't tell you; but I have a ninja shopper deployed for that sweet, sweet GenCon Grunt...
The seminar is Saturday at noon, CDT I think.. Cervantes is planning on posting images like he does every year.

I got my LE Grunt already a few days ago. He's a cool little dude.
I cried out for a GenCon ninja, actually found an American at Interplanitario instead.....he grabbed me one and shipped it when he got back home to the States.
No clue what the odds were on that.

Possibly. Apart from the Blackjack, who knows what Bostria will reveal. Everyone assumes there will be a Blackjack reveal.
The seminar is Saturday 11:00am to 1:00pm, Indiana time. (Which is what these days? Those wacky Hoosiers shift time zones, IIRC. It appears they are currently on Eastern Standard. EST is GMT-4 hrs.)

Funny how that works, eh? ^_^
I personally like more the old szaly, as it actually looks like something where they needed to make space for a pilot instead of just saying that there's one, srsly.
But as I already have it, well...

They tend to love showing USARF stuff at GenCon...so it's not necessarily an unreasonable assumption.
We did get one "reveal" of a model in the flesh--the new ITS model, "Cube Jaeger":
The pictures are uncredited from the official forums, but they go to a Facebook account so they might be workblocked.

I'm at the con but didn't get into the seminar, the tickets for that sold out in minutes back in may, but I'll swing by tomorrow to see if they're taking overflow as I've heard that CB allows more into the room then gencon sells tickets for.

Waiting on pics, but the new Grunt Spec Ops for Ariadna will have 2 head choices, and 2 arm sets.
Blackjacks were shown in the stream as well, and they are.... SO SICK!!
The shoulder gun looks like a .50 cal. sniper rifle
The render is... it's HUGE

Those images are so painful too see. Because they are so blurry. Ugh. Especially Sally. Looks very Morat/ CA to me in that image. No, I'm not confusing it with the avatar. It may be an outstanding mini. It looks like it has potential.

Szalamandra resculpt AND an Avatar resculpt this year? So great, both those models really needed it!
Need better pics of the Blackjack, but it looks like a nice cross between an Exo-Squad E-frame and the Aliens Powerloader. Sorry morats, may need to move my USAriadna to the front of the modelling queue now that my Nomads are done (thank god for escalation leagues). The weapon looks a bit too large on it, but that can always be cut down. I'm sure clearer pics will pop up shortly

The images were taken from Doremicom's livestream of the event--which had some issues for quality.

Druze was Human Sphere; there was a few years between those.

I guess I'll be the lone voice of dissent about the blackjack. While the concept art looks great, seeing the render/model makes me think it doesn't do it justice. The top gun looks to fidgety with more bolted on parts than a mid 90s completionist's sega console and the under arm weapons look too bulky. Ymmv obviously.
