Huh, it really is Harly, Katana, Killer Croc, and Deadshot.

Not a Deadshot, the grimace makes it look a lot more like a Joker base (plus the lack of the optics/mask)

No, that's a Suicide Squad homage including Dr. Harleen Qiunzel.

Does the new Druze box replace the old one and single mini?

Yes. The Spitfire profile is apparently being removed.

Hmmm, you're probably right. That was the one I was least sure about guessed based on the assault pistol.

It’s clearly Killer Croc, Katana, Harley Quinn, & Mr J.
They’re a big improvement.

However, I wish they’d draw more from their anime inspiration. That anime/manga look pervaded the catalogue of minis back in the old days. These one off celebrity/pop-culture rips are kinda cheezy

OK, one less mini to buy...unless RPG. What's the difference in boxes then?

Old Druze box had Combi Rifle+LGL, one modeled with a DEP, one with Combi Rifle+CCW, and a Hacker.
The new Druze box has Chain Colt(proxy fodder), Hacker, Shock Marksman Rifle, HMG.

Likely to have a couple of Druze in the Starter box for the Sectorial right?

I doubt there will be Druze in the QK starter, but maybe you're referring to a Bayram box?

Just a bit cranky because no Hospitaller box.

OTOH, new Morlocks. Interesting... Anyone seen renders? (Please no more 'shout-outs' to comic book characters. One sufficed .)

Ah well, no interest in playing Bakunin anyway. Plus, such insipid characters from which to draw inspiration. At least give us an anthropomorphic raccoon.

Yep, the Bayram box. QK is already done so yeah I said "Sectorial" as I meant the "smaller group of limited models under the larger umbrella of a larger selection" but that isn't going to be the same case with the NA2.

Bayram box is more likely to feature Brawlers than Druze.

The QK starter was literally just repackages of existing stuff. I could see them being douchey enough these days to put the MSR Druze into a QK starter.

Bayram Box Set I would like to see..

- 2 Druze with basic rifle profiles. (makes a total of 6 models with the Druze box and allows for a blister or two later on)
- 1 Brawler with basic or proxy profile. (makes a total of 6 models with a Brawler SWC box and Spec-Ops blister, with an easy potential for 1 more blister)*
- 1 Hunzakut with Rifle/Shotgun (leaves a Sniper Blister and current Ghost-Trap blister)

and either...

- 1 Bashi in a button pushing pose
OR
- 1 Modded Clipper (I am probably wishlisting too hard here, thought it could be just due to my desire to see it in Druze colours)




* Brawlers currently have the following weapon loadouts, not including doc and hackers etc.
- Rifle+Light Shotgun
- HRL
- SMG
- Multi Sniper

I could easily see SMG, Multi Sniper, Hacker headset and a Pistol Proxy in the SWC box.
A HRL in a Blister.
Along with a Basic Rifle+LSG in the base pack that is enough to cover all the needs we have a AVA 4 unit until a Spec-Ops comes along.

While I like seeing pop culture things done infinity style from an art standpoint I'm rather sad they got rid of the female assault pistol that's been a hallmark of infinity design. I've been looking forward to seeing an updated version of her since Angel's kickstarter with the 75mm version.

I really hope the Bashi button pusher profile makes it to Haqqislam.

Same -Loki-, that is a surprise that comes in from the side and mashes that objective's buttons good.
Sure WIP 12 isnt that good but when on a 17 point platform I can live with it.

The mobile one seems to take longer to be updated so that might be why.

The new WarCor looks great, Thorakitai look great, and I like the Charontid.

The Charontid is taller than I thought it'd be.

i was really hoping I'd like that Charontid once I saw it painted, but I just don't. It's looks way too bulky. That worked well for the Xeodrons, but here it just looks silly. I also don't care for the head.

The Warcor is nice, although I'm not sure why we need a second one.

I like the new Morlocks well enough and they're definitely technically superior to the originals, but they're rather restrained looking pose wise to the point where I'm quite happy with what I've got.

Still... 9 Morlock list? Maaaaaaybe?

Well I have one friend who waited 3 years too try that 9 morlocks list so....

The only thing I do not like is we finally are in an era were miss blue skin is not represented.... I really hope we see a model of her someday.

The Charontid is size 5 so the mini makes sense to me.

The not killer Croc looks great, the rest of the Gruppe are disappointing. They seem to be sacrificing interesting design and poses for pop culture references, which is a shame as there's really no reason they can't do both.

Are we expecting the Druze box next wave?

There is when the thing in question that they're shoe-horning the pop culture reference onto doesn't work.

No...? Druze box is already out. It came out with the Szalamandra.

Bayram Box Set I would like to see..

It hadn't even occurred to me that they'll do a sectorial box. I had just assumed that we were meant to use the outrage characters as proxy models. But a box makes a lot of sense.

My Guess:

3 Brawlers
1 Druze
1 Arslan
1 Bashi Bazouk

Arslan was a Turk, a rather famous/notorious one too ( see: Battle of Manzikert) I would think to see a character with that name associated with the Kaplans.

I wouldn't expect Bashi Bazouk or Arslan.

I'd honestly expect something like this:
Druze Bayram Security
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

BRAWLER Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16)
BRAWLER Engineer Rifle + Light Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 20)
BRAWLER Heavy Rocket Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 18)
DRUZE (CH: Mimetism) MULTI Sniper / Viral Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 32)
DRUZE (X Visor) Combi Rifle, Chain-colt, Panzerfaust / Viral Pistol, Knife. (0 | 25)
DRUZE (X Visor) Combi Rifle + Light Grenade Launcher (E/M and Nimbus) / Viral Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 27)

3.5 SWC | 138 Points

Open in Infinity Army


It lets them release 3 Druze profiles that have no models(MSR with CH, CR+D.E.P., and the CR+LGL) and get 3 Brawlers out; including one that will likely be a popular choice(HRL) and another that will likely be a popular choice (Engineer).
Brawlers could then just be given a two model blister to round things out for the Hacker and MSR with MSVL2.
And while not legal for the points value, I should mention that they don't ever seem to care when that's the case and they "feel it's a cool set".

Arslan was a Turk, a rather famous/notorious one too ( see: Battle of Manzikert) I would think to see a character with that name associated with the Kaplans.

Arslan was also the name of the security chief in "Outrage". He's in the dossier in back, between Iblis and El Toro. Ignore the weird griffiny thing.

Third one:





Though granted, you've probably never seen the special edition version.
