Was the Helot always in the fluff? Or is that totally new?
If it was already there was it always a fishman? Or did somebody at CB just really like Shape of Water?

Helots have always been there and it was always fishmen. Their pressure suits are actually supposed to be explosive.

Lotta you guys think we’ll get a book as soon as January.
What then will that big black N be? Something totally out of left field?
I dont know how much they ought to monkey with things; Infinity with N3 seems to be in a good place overall right now.

There's a reason why:
We don't have physical fluff for Tunguska, TAK, Varuna, Vedic, or Invincible Army. Don't think of it as a book like Human Sphere--think of it as a book like Uprising.

Didn't forget, but Ramah's supposed to be a ways out and we're looking at those Sectorials(barring Tohaa speculation and revamped Shasvastii) as already being done and just waiting for a fluff book.

Also, for anyone trying to tell me "Frontoviks look terrible!"


WHERE IS YOUR NON-TARTARY ARMY KORPS GOD NOW!

On Mayacast when they said we weren’t getting the TAK and OSS sectorials at Gencon they said they were coming in the fall sometime, so we won’t have to wait til January/new book for them two.

We're all Cadians now.

Ariadna has more engineer options than PanO. Malign voodoo sorcery.

Was there any news in the GenCon seminar that wasn’t covered in their video release?
I saw someone on FB said Carlos indicated existing profiles for all factions will see updates when new sectorials drop this fall.

There are definitely a bunch of existing units that could use some more bells & whistles or cost tweaks given all the changes we’ve seen this year. Too many profiles out there going unused because their cost/benefit value is below the curve.

There was a ton of stuff apparently, but I haven't seen good coverage of it.

There are some bad pics of a mercenary chick on a bike with an antipod armed with the russian hammer.



Edit: Changed image adress

Spoiler:

Can you repost the pics elsewhere or upload them to the post? They're unavailable if you're not registered and logged into the CB forums.

Changed the image a address in my original post so you should be able to see them now

Found my next Kum Biker proxy.

Between the original two Kum, the two Nazarovas, bootleg Penthesilea, Kaysim, and this new Carmen, that's seven Kum bikes!

The Khanate sectorial can't come soon enough!

Did Bostria say that they have not even begun to work on the Khanate, some time ago, like at the beginning of the "uprising" debacle? It's going to be a while.

Ariadna has more engineers because they are quasi-literate hillbillies who break stuff all of the time. Or to make up for a lack of hackers/specialists.

Frontoviks do not look over-done at all. Reasonable units with reasonable costs. Nice to see.

I hope that biker merc is avalaible to ariadna forces, I like her.
I find it odd she named her antipode Bastard in French, with a russian hammer and herself having a more usariadnan sounding name, odd mix

Cajun.

From what was said, she's a TAK mercenary.

Dollars to donuts, this is them just padding out the unit count for the Sectorial.

Its possible she might be available in the other sectorials too though.

Yeah...maybe one of the NA2 ones, but not the other Ariadnan ones.

Pictures from Facebook of the TAK mercenary. Really not fond of this.

Heh. Double-Action Close Combat Wrench. I also like the holstered Chain Rifle and Pistol on the bike.

I hope she's riding the bike and not posing next to it like the helm-on-seat would imply; that'd fit better with other bikers. Also weird that she even has a helmet in the first place while other "wild rider" types don't.

So, back to the Raicho the chest looks big enough for a fetal position pilot, and that they are directly connected via brain connection to the armor, the chest looks like a big hatch

Visor also looks like a mouth

It's for her puppy I'm sure.

BTW am not done with it yet

¡Dios Mío! There is not a thing about that concept art that says Infinity to me. Generic Biker c.19xx.

It's been a while since I threw money at Infinity, but those new Yu Jing designs might just loosen up the 'ole wallet. I really like the Haidao. I hope we at least get a good looking action pose of him with the shotgun.

What's the deal with the Liu Xing though? What exactly sets it apart from the Tiger Soldiers?

Well it’ll have an extra wound, for a start.

Geez. I totally forgot that Tiger Soldiers were MI. Are Tiger Soldiers being relegated to Vanilla, or are they going to be Invincible Army as well?

Not sure. They’ve always been said to be in White Banner (which was said to be ‘classic YJ models, Hac Tao, Guijia, Tiger Soldiers, Zhanshi, Shaolin), but the dossier for them when Red Veil came out said Invincible Army. So could be either, or both.

Tartary sectorial looks really disappointing so far. Not a fan of the trench hammer as a weapon design or the Exo-Armor-thingy, but the new Scout looks nice. Female Tankhunter should look more bulky imo, Line Kazaks are ok, but I was hoping for more as far as the vet Kazak is concerned. The Strelok looks a bit weird and the K9 has that darned hammer as well.

The new Dakini Tacbots, on the other hand, look sweet ... might have to order those.

Nothing in Ariadna says Infinity.

I don't know, I thought a lot of the French stuff felt like 'Infinity' to me.

It is Heavy Infantry, so look for a higher PH, and as noted a second wound. Of course it may stay at PH12 like the Zuyong. As HI it should have a 4-4 movement instead of the 4-2 of the Tiger.

Well yeah, you pick the faction that literally was held back from progressing technologically for a hundred odd years...

And yet Haqqislam has similar gear but nobody says they "don't feel Infinity".
