Sadly I didn't take any pictures but the newest kit was a highly modular robot thing on what looked like a 50mm base. About the size of an Infinity Gecko but a lot more slender. Two in a box and lots of spare parts to ensure they don't look the same.

I did have the pleasure to check our always great dakka boot at the beginning of the show. Since I missed Salute last year I was really not on top of what is new or not… The new kit is obviously pretty cool and I took some pictures. I will try to post asap.
Thanks to Maelstrom dakka crew for another great show.

So new stuff I can't recall seeing before (or at least it isn't in the store currently)
Karist Praetorians
Eprian Contractor Supressor Team
A large flying angel possibly in the case?
Are those scarecrows or whatever this new robot kit is in the photos on the unfolded boxes and sprues?
Spiral Arm guys need to get to updated their website for us sad Yanks who can't attend and see what's new...

No, those have been out. The Praetorians and the Suppressors were resin conversion kits for the plastics, I believe. Flying Angel is a conversion, I think.

Coming very soon. The painted studio models only arrived just before Salute, so the release article will go up as soon as I can get pics sorted out. Hopefully later today.

Close - the Suppression team and Praetorians use the plastic Faction Expansion sprue combined with the plastic trooper and contractor kits, and the Suppression team is boxed with a bot.
The angel was indeed a conversion from a modeling article a while back - I had a few of my assorted conversions on display with the studio models this time around.

Some of my pics. There was a rotating display that blured my pictures so these are just from the ones from the traditional display.
My camera is old and bad so yeah this is the most I can do with it.

Man, the more I see MEdge stuff, the more my desire to put together a bot based Epirian force intensifies.
The new big bot is very Pacific Rim looking, which is no bad thing.
Now for funsies, lets play "name that Dakka member".
The scruffy one with the hat, is Insaniak.
The other scruffy one standing up in this picture, if i'm not mistaken, is Legoburner. Although I could well be mistaken. I've only ever seen one picture of him and that was a good while ago.
Now the other bloke clipping bits of a sprue, is he a dakkaman?

The new model looks really cool! According to the instructions it is a Remnant Militus Battlesuit? Looks awesomely full of variant weapons.

The jaeger suit looks amazing. Does each sprue set just make one suit? It looks like there's a Zentraedi escort fleet's worth of extra arm cannon bits!

Thanks people for making one of my fav games! (despite not having actually played yet thanks to life and friends who won't try new things) Soon, soon..... there will be much modeling and painting, and much ascension. And Medge Gundam space knights.

Spiral Arm Studios are thrilled to present our latest plastic kit: The Remnant Militus Battlesuit! This is the first kit for the Artarian Remnant, the newest faction to join the fray at the Maelstrom's Edge.
Lorican Combat Suits are the pinnacle of Artarian engineering, allowing a House Champion to have the utility and fighting prowess of many soldiers or workers. Each suit wearer is virtually a one man army, equipped with light but incredibly strong alloyed armour plating that is adapted from the same technology that is used in Remnant ship hull plating. It can absorb heat based weapons and even use it to recharge the suit's systems. The armour is quite capable of deflecting even heavy calibre ammunition, and is fully adapted to work in vacuum or underwater.
Each suit is assisted by sophisticated motion predicting micro-servo motors to give them unparalleled strength and mobility, moving with ease through dense terrain and being able to punch holes through conventional armour. Every suit also boasts a wealth of sensors including friend or foe recognition, communications frequencies, target acquisition and capability calculation, capable of identifying weak points on the target and providing suggestions as to what weapon to attack it with. All suits are slaved with targeting and intelligence information from the insertion ships in orbit, providing a strategic overview, co-ordination between strike teams and immunity to ambush.
The suits are powered by a miniature tritium energy cell, and are good for several months without recharging. This powers all suit subsystems including medical diagnostic systems which will seal over wounds including resorting to removal of limbs if necessary, and supply painkillers, stimulants and medication as required. The armour will also recycle bodily waste and their occupants can survive for weeks without resupply, although the experience would not be particularly pleasant.
The standard 'Militus' class suit forms the core of most Artarian fire teams. They can be equipped with a range of different, high-powered weapon options and are also often fitted with protective field generators or jump packs for extra mobilty.
This kit contains a single, mulitpart Militus suit on one plastic sprue, along with a 45mm plastic base.
To get you building, you can find assembly instructions in PDF format here.
The Militus kit is available now from the Maelstrom's Edge webstore. Faction rules are still being finalised, as the other models for the Remnant are still being developed, but will be added to the website as soon as they are ready to go!

Mother of God.
I just found the new model for my Glitterboy when playing Savage Worlds: Rifts.
Is the theory that these guys can be an army all on their own, where all you field is a fireteam of 4-6 suits while your opponent fields whole units of troops and drones? That would be awesome, like a mini version of a force of Knights from 40k.
Even if for just using them as such a thing in other skirmish games (either as 28mm battlesuits or giant mecha in smaller scale games), I could see myself getting several of these guys as they can all be unique, and they are dirt cheap for what you get.
The best part is that it looks really easy to magnetize at least the gun mount connections. Just a guy with both arms being open fists could have a shoulder mount that you could swap every gun onto.

I was sad that there wasn't an escalating discount if we bought more than one, like there is for the Broken.
Also seems the expansion sprue is available in the store. I don't recall it being there before. Time to get some new goodies!
