Sounds like the Warstore made it through the storm okay:

Update November 1st: I want to say thank you all for your patience and support. Hurricane Sandy has been very devastating. I wanted to give you a fresh update and let you all know that the staff and their families are all healthy and safe. TheWarStore.com Warehouse took zero damage and everything is as it was prior to the storm. The good news is we have Power and Water. The bad news is we still have no internet. So currently we are unable to process emails or orders. Please stay tuned for further updates.

But it will still be a bit until I get my new stuff.

Yep got mine and the new minis should be at simple mini end of this week to beginning of next week for us Dorset folk

Spoke to the nice people at Simple Miniatures when I went to pick up some more reinforcements and they reckon they will be getting their deliveries of new mini's on the 7th or 8th depending on the Spanish UPS boys

Damn those UPS men I have a burning need to hand over more of my hard earned cash!

Woop my Paradiso is also here! (and im off work sick so.....looks like i have the whole day to read it then )

We need a Tohaa badge on the Forum!!!! I've almost finished my starter box and I've added a few "painted proxies" to round them out so I can use them and get the hang of how they work.........just means i have a week to finish detailing before I can add the sniper

Good point - we probably do need a TOHAA symbol, as well as maybe some of the new sectorials?

Whoever did it last time - help us out and hook us up!

Also - my book and miniature arrived from The Warstore - yeah!

I didn't do them before but I just happened to just make one for my decal sheets.

I think VonSkyfury did it before. I can't seem to get the white ring around it off.

My copy of Paradiso is out for delivery, and will be arriving with a Netrod/Yudbot blister....

Who knows if they even have power and will be able to see your order. I hope for the best for everyone though. They got hit pretty hard.

No e-mail yet. I'm sure Neil is just sitting in the dark. I hope we don't have to see a "water damage" sale in the future.

Best of luck to him and everybody else out there.

There's a note ont he front of thewarstore.com that says they're good and have power and water... but no internet.

It's at the top of this page too, Balance.

Campaign: Paradiso finally arrived!

CB should release books more often.
I mean... how much do we have to wait until we can read the next wave of fluff? Love the fluff... need more fluff...

Looks like Neil is back in full swing, filling backlogs of orders now.

Happy to hear they didn't take any damage.

Just got my shipping confirmation today. Glad to hear Neal and the crew weathered the storm in one piece.

Having pored over Campaign: Paradiso...

I'm torn as to what army to do as a secondary!
"The Steel Phalanx" is a lot less offensive to my senses now after I've read about why it was created.
The Tohaa having a G: Synchronized T.A.G. is definitely interesting!
Ariadna now is out amongst the stars, at the behest of the O-12 Bureau itself to act as a "neutral" party and provide security, etc to O-12.
Corregidor is still fantastic to me, and the Gecko is a really interesting bit. A T.A.G. used by Corregidor not just because of ease of repair...but because it can be used in boarding actions.

New T.A.G.'s are... awesome!

Can't wait to see what the Gecko and Tohaa versions look like.

After we see the Raicho, of course...

The Gecko is a speedy little bugger. What's more, it has "Zero-G".

The Gorgos is going to be rather similar to the Gecko I think. It's interesting that it essentially is Symbionic Armor which gives it the T.A.G. styled stats.

Oh! And the Tohaa Spec Ops can only use the "Kamael" infantry as the basis to work from.

In the same way that the Corax is limited to starting as a Seed Soldier...(not that there is another Shas option necessarily, but ive heard the seed soldier is tn the best 'grunt' option...?)

It's more consistent with the other logos if you leave the ring on. You need to make the black outside the ring transparent though. Here, try this:



What else are we missing?

Nice work Construct!

The ALEPH Steel Phalanx Sectorial (its not called that though is it...) maybe?

Awesome!

Send that over to Yakface and/or Legoburner, please!

Also, any chance you can do the new Aleph sectorial too?

This is the only icon we're missing as a little baby one now.

I've PMed Yakface icons for the Tohaa Trigon and the Steel Phalanx. I also included icons derived from the new reflective logos for all factions. (The Tohaa icon above was one of these. It's not a big difference once you shrink them down to 15x15 but I think they do look slightly better than the current flat ones so it would be nice to have the option.)

Thank you!

And you're right - the new 'reflective' logos do look better!

Looks great Construct. I'm not used to web art.

I got my book on Friday! So I had some of the weekend to go through. Going to hold back on overall critics though. Need to really get into it. I'll start a few threads to discuss some things though.

Just called my FLGS, and my book+Gogo have just left Spain - they were waiting on the rest of the new releases to send the order. So I still have a few weeks to wait.

Can I ask you folks a question here as I can't seem to find the answer elsewhere? Did the copy of the book with Gogo cost more or the same price? I picked up the book+Gogo without a preorder at my FLGS and was charged the price of the book+$10 for the mini which I didn't really want to begin with. I was just wondering if this was normal or if I should have a talk with the store owner. Thanks

That was normal.

What was found out later was that GoGo was something the retailers had to buy, but could not sell by itself.

You should be able to find someone wanting to take her off your hands easily though. Thankfully, the Warstore let me order it without Marlene.

Didn't want as forced to buy?

Anyways if you got the book from CB the mini was free, but alot of warehouse charge the store that order from them. So the stores have to pass along the cost.

I wasn't exactly forced to buy her but I damn sure didn't want to pay extra for her. The store I got my book from got their case of books directly from Corvus Belli so they could get the minis is what I was told. I guess I'll hold on to her for now and see if I like the mini more after some time. Perhaps my daughter will want to paint her up one day. Thanks for the info folks.

From what I knew, there were different options for the stores to get the books and the minis. The minis were free only if the stores asked very few (like... 2?). If the stores wanted more, they had to pay them. Then, it was up to them to choose wether charge the final clients or not. Luckily I wasn't charged, but some stores have done it. Still, in Spain the price has been lower than a regular mini, $10 seems a bit pricey to me.
