If anything, she's the one doing the groping. She's all trying to massage his pectoral muscles with her feet, and he's reaching up, just trying to politely remove her leg from his chest, and is all like, "please don't let this affect my acting career".

Did you just make a Harvey Weinstein joke?
Too soon, man, too soon. Besides, Trump is the Groper . Weinstein is the Sexual Predator. (and thus much closer to the top of the Pyramid of Human Scum)
Shame really, that TrUmbra under Jeanne's pied gauche. An Otherwise very nice mini.
I'm looking forward to next month and the new and improved Druze. I do hope they scale well with the Giantess Druze Hacker. (The HSN3 LE mini. A fine min, but enormous.)

Druze are next month? I'm hoping they don't alter the design too much. I love the current/old design. They were some of the minis that got me into Infinity.

December for Druze.
Druzember, I guess?
But it's not like they're going to vanish over night. I wouldn't advise going too heavy on them though. The new box has some very different loadouts.

Fine by me if they have new or better loadouts. Kaplans always seemed the better choice. But the looks of the Druze were what I liked about them. Thankfully I have the current stuff. I'm just hoping they don't look too different from the existing sculpts. If they manage to not tower over the old ones either, even better.

You're screwed on the second point. They're going to be bigger, end of story.
I didn't think the renders we saw looked too different, but they looked closer to the original concept art that is in the first Infinity Art Book.

You can always cut their feet off and then base them in a custom "swamp" setting scheme?

Yikes. Glad I got the LE version. Hair option is nice I guess, and I was going to buy her til I noticed the hand on leg. If its a option not to have, im in, but it looks like hot garbage otherwise if its part of the leg

Have we seen a decent image of the Druze renders? I recall a blurry image from GenCon.
The current Druze are very good minis. I don't expect much to change, except the size. Consider the Muyib for example. Nothing revolutionary to them, just a pleasant refresh.
And the blurry image

I think I'd like it better with a different paint scheme.
IF I get it, I'll be doing more of a 'traditional' one, perhaps with more green in it, like the studio Anathematic, which is one of the greatest miniatures and miniature paintjobs of all time!

To give the release more utility and value than just including a spare head?
I'll admit to owning neither of the original Joan models so have no idea what the actual differences between the mobility and non-mobility armours are (the mobility pose doesn't make it easy to tell from the official pic either).
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

You Mods are supposed to Insta-Ban people for those, right?
Nicely realized mini-- in terms of design-- with a mediocre pose. I'd like this mini, but with the original Avatar's pose. This Avatar mini, I would call it Captain Carrot. It is wearing 'The Protective'. And is quite top heavy.
What is the Staldron standing on?

The one and only problem I have with this is that it looks like Giraldez painted the Avatar up the exact same way he painted the Gorgos. From a glance, the two look very similar. I would love to see this sculpt in a different scheme.

Bit of a better pic.

The Gorgos is much more orange from the other angles.

I'm hoping that we see some kind of Druze mini sectorial for general play, similar to what was released with Outrage. I'd love to just do an all Druze force.
