Are CB having production issues due to demand? The Morat units have been out of stock from MM and Warstore for over a month now, it's kind of preventing me from purchasing some angry red apes
Warstore is also slow on delivering my Kaysim Beg. It and the Combined Army starter (December Releases) are still considered "Preorder" on both Warstore and MM well past even when the next month's releases have gone on Preorder.
I'm assuming there are some production issues.

I honestly think they had plenty of profiles already to update. For example there is currently one tiger soldier model still available lol. The minutemen sculpts are a garbage fire as well IMO, yet we got grunt profiles making the queue that much longer, so it was odd to me that the added so many profiles in N3. Did we really need a reverend healer or father knight? There are so many R Moiras and military order knights as it is.
Not a huge problem more then something that stands out as odd to me.
I just wish the current kits would restock in a reasonable time frame.

I'm guessing the current Minutemen mini will be discontinued when they release the resculpts. It's not just that it wouldn't fit very well with newer sculpts. The mini has a Panzerfaust, which is no longer an option for the Minutemen, so...

They could easily do what they did with the Bolts and just release a 3-pack blister temporarily until the USAriadna sectorial lists come out. The Grunts' rules are out. The sectorial is not. It makes very much sense to release models for what exists rather than models for what doesn't exist yet.

Father Knight fills the niche of a HI specialist in MO. The rumour has it that he'll have Haris, which makes him elegant in terms of solving problems with a Knight link teams and scenario requirements for specialists. I see certain logic in this mindset. I'd wish for non-knight specialists.

Natalia Poklonskaya
Prosecutor General of Crimea
After Crimea came under Russian control, her appointment was confirmed by Russian authorities on 25 March 2014.
I'm being a bit slow - what has this got to do with anything?
Beats me!
You should ask this guy, since he brought it up here!

The 3 Bolts blister came out with the Neoterran Sectorial box and were only done so because of the fact that they wanted to make it easier for Neoterran players to get Bolts without having to buy multiples of the NCA box...at least initially. From now on though, you're either buying from Shae-Konnit's split boxes or stuck with multiples.
The USAriadna Grunts are a different story than Bolts as well. Bolts are AVA3 in Vanilla as of N3. Grunts are AVA2, but we know that they're going to be the Line Infantry for the USAriadna starter.
I just want to let that sink in. Grunts are AVA 2 in Vanilla, while Minutemen and Foxtrot Rangers are AVA 3.
Might we see a single blister of Grunts before Acheron Falls/the USAriadna starter? Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Heavy Flamethrower, Light Shotgun guy get released since he's one that people are excited for...and he also can be used for the Inferior Infiltration profile.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that when the Ariadna starter gets redone before/after Acheron Falls, that they're going to pull another Chasseur and make it the only way for USAriadna players to get a Hardcase Frontiersman.

Man the whining that's going to coming with all the wish listing going on. The best is the "Healer and Moria" despite there been nothing from CB about it. Not saying both couldn't happen just we have no clue at this point.

Now you know they did the 3 pack because of the repacks in the starter and not wanting to force people to buy the repacks unless they wanted to.

At least they have more interesting information than the official CB frontpage articles. A rundown on Drone changes are boring but still something to read.
I'm kidding with that jab at CB, of course. I appreciate and think/hope they're allocating writing talent towards the N3HS and C profile update.

In fact it would be amazing. Takes 2x Unconscious to knock them out now, and between reducing the Hacker Tax and lowering actual point costs they cost about 2/3rds what they did. Of course there's all that nasty new hacking around too, but what the heck.
A JSA Karakuri-and-drones list is on my horizon I think.

MDF tiles, these look like they can be rotated to create variety within a city board (they have a locking mechanism on the back to hold them together) - will be interesting to see if they release any more of these
Ariadna buildings - like the idea of this, and pretty original compared to what we have seen so far. You would need some special rule though where if a miniature walks within 2" of the pub entrance, a Wulver comes out and hits them over the head with a chair
I feel like there was a missed opportunity here... I would have gone with like "Svetlana's Drive-In" and "Pierre's Pub" or something like that, y'know, since Ariadna is a mix of Americans, Russkies, Scots/Irishmen, Frenchmen, etc.

I expect it was so they'd be flexible enough to be used in otehr lines, though agree it would have been nice to see an alternate set of signs like that.

But, the thing is Ariadna isn't a mix, they each went out of their way to recreate their own society. Then you add the fact that they where in a state of war with each other until the rest of the human sphere found them. Means simple they wouldn't have names like "Svetlana's Drive-In" as it doesn't fit the fluff at all.

Nah they're in keeping with the fluff as is.
I'd imagine they'd be places opened up on Ariadna bases on Paradiso for example. Just like we brought Pizza Hut & Taco Bell to our bases in Iraq.
Is that a natural 21?

Everyone knows all Aridnans are total fluff nazis. They're basically cosplaying survival.

Bazaars sure their is bound to be some that could see past the 100+ year of war. But, most would like to wipe each other off they planet (or take total control like the Russkies want) it just outside forces that have made them work with each other. It like going to a old mine town set up to show case the life of miners, they want to remain as close to the past as possible with out influence form outside sources. Hell the only reason they joined the Paradiso campaign and worked with each other is because the 0-12 said they back them for independents, free of Pan-O or YJ influence. The people of Dawn or a long way from being friendly and cross polluting culture.
