The NCO yadu is very likely a mistake, the spanish version doesn't have those weapons and when you add it to your list the BS weapons list of your list doesn't contain them, only the HMG.
There are still some things to fix ...
Edit:
The weapons have been fixed on the web app for the yadu, so there's progress!

Those look pretty good. I think maybe I like the designs of the old ones better? I'm not sure. They do look like they'd fit in pretty well with the old models.

I've been waiting for this. I've almost bought every single model in that pack multiple times, but I knew this was coming and somehow managed to fight it. Finally gonna get me some space knights.
Not sold on the paint scheme though. Are any of these models unique to a specific order or can I paint them like any?

Hospitallers(the 'full' Knights on the far left) and Joan of Arc are specifics. The Crusader Brethren(farthest right with the jump pack, MULTI Rifle+LFT), Blackfriar(the model to his lower left), and the Order Sergeants(the four model set in Hospitaller colors to Joan's right) aren't.
For those interested, the box actually comes out to this:
Spoiler:
Military Orders ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
10 JOAN OF ARC Lieutenant MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, APCCW. (+1 | 49) CRUSADER MULTI Rifle + Light Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 31) BLACK FRIAR (Albedo, Biometric Visor L1) MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser, Drop Bears / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 28) KNIGHT HOSPITALLERHMG / Pistol, APCCW. (2 | 41) KNIGHT HOSPITALLER Combi Rifle / Pistol, APCCW. (0 | 33) KNIGHT HOSPITALLER Doctor (MediKit) Combi Rifle / Pistol, DACCW. (0 | 37) KNIGHT HOSPITALLER Boarding Shotgun / Pistol, DACCW. (0 | 33) SPEC. SERGEANT Hacker (Hacking Device) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 21) ORDER SERGEANT Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 13) SPEC. SERGEANT Heavy Rocket Launcher + AUXBOT_1 / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 19) AUXBOT_1 Heavy Flamethrower / Electric Pulse. (- | 4)
The Spec Sergeant's Auxbot can be on the plain old Combi Rifle Order Sergeant...but in that case, it's still over by at least 4 points. Which means it's technically a 301pt list--and I went as light as I could on Joan and the Knights.

The Knights themselves is unique to a specific order (Hospitlars), but you can paint them in whatever color you like. There is nothing in Infinity that forces you to paint something in a specific way just do what you like.

Just use the Order sergeant labeled as hacker as a paramedic and your good to go at 299points.

Simply put the issue is that the Sergeants box was less than optimal for anyone wanting to play Sergeants.
If it had come out with a redone Military Orders starter? Different case entirely. As it stands, there's a slew of profiles still missing for the Sergeants which leads me to think they'll get shoveled into a Varuna/Shock Army styled box where we don't get any of the 'basic' models and it's something that can't be played right out of the gate.

I own the entire Shas line, along with way too many Aswuangs, so I'm both excited and terrified at the prospect of the gribblies finally getting some love. Excited for new profiles and sweet af new sculpts ... but terrified because I'mma get pulled back into Infinity and be driven to replace all my OF sneaky dudes with the new sexiness
EDIT: Regardless of the snipe, Shas are still early 2019, right? The reckoning approacheth

I thought Shas at first too, but Shas all have shinguards and three toes, not two.

So many models, even less time.

Bah, you’re right. You dashed my hopes quite expertly sir.
Can someone remind me again where in the fluff Helots are ever mentioned? I thought antipodes were the only known aliens from the Human Sphere.
There's a bit about them in the Varuna section in the PanO RPG book. Basically they're a labour force for PanO native to Varuna, and there are rebel cells on Varuna that blow up factories
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
Basically a race that the Pan Oceanans have enslaved.
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Not quite, they were bioengineered (uplifted) by the Tohaa to fight the CA, and then abandoned when they were deemed a failure.
After discovering them on Varuna, PanO developed technology to regulate the Helots temperament, which was pressure dependent (high pressure = calm, low-to-atmosphere pressure = bullish and angry), to something that promoted inter-species cooperation, then exploited the hell out of them as the would any other unrepresented workforce in their sphere of influence. Some (most) Helots are quite happy with the improvements that interactions with PanO have brought as it enables them to think with clarity and control their emotional state independent of what depth of ocean they're currently sitting in, a minority are not and have turned to domestic terrorism against both PanO and other Helot "collaborators".

Bostria is claiming that the Military Orders will see points adjustments "making the 300 point army box actually 300 points"...
Smooth move, guys.

It's hysterical that they added the NA2 faction header for factions that could theoretically 'split off' from their parent faction. MRRF could have done so and Knights could have done so, but instead they've removed the models from sale.

If the issue is they can’t keep producing so many models, moving the sectorial to NA2 wouldn’t make any difference.

And the issue with their whole "can't keep producing so many models" is because of their incompetence when it comes to refusing to do multiple arm sets or raising the number of models in a box.

I don't think they know how to handle the model/faction bloat they have and don't want to move things to direct order only.
Honestly there's too much crap in this game which is why I've mostly lost interest in it. I don't have time to play a game that takes 3 hours because I only get to play it once a month because of how long it takes and thus never learn everything enough to get the game down to a more reasonable hour.
Yet they have to keep selling new things so new figures, rules and so on get added that just make it more annoying to keep trying to play if your causal.

Pure speculation:
CB tried to bring back life to the sectorial with new models but sales for the range is still low (What i heard they were very low before they got updated sculpts to) so they got axed before the others to free up SKU space.
And does this mean that each faction will be capt at 3 production sectorials at a time since poth PanO and Ariadna has four with one not supported with models?

Subject: The Infinity News and Rumors Thread - The 2018 Edition
Yes, Acontecimento is the next sectorial to get the same treatment as MRRF.
Models of the faction will be playable, nothing will be removed from a gameplay standpoint and they may get some quality of life improvements along the way.
The only real effect this has, is there SKU mentioned will not be available to order from CB from the cutoff day onward.
