After the crushing disappointment of the "No Raicho" May releases, I think it is time to speculate about June's releases, and keep alive the dream of the Morat T.A.G.

So, any idea on what else will be coming in June?

And yes, I'm being inpatient, but any idea on when June's releases will be shown?

Has the April late release effectively pushed ALL future releases to the end of each month?

Stolen from the Official Forum:

PanOceania - 6 (Equestrian Order of KNIGHTS OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE | KIRPAL SINGH, Akalis Sergeant | CLAUSEWITZ UHLANS | SERAPHS, Armoured Cavalry of Military Order | TIKBALANGS, Armoured Chasseurs of Acontecimento | "TONI" MACAYANA Tikbalangs Lieutenant, Chasseurs of Acontecimento) - 6 HS.

Yu Jing - 4 (Yáoxiè | Domaru TAKESHI „NEKO” OYAMA | GŪIJIĂ PILOT | O-YOROI PILOT) - 4 HS.

Ariadna - 0.

Haqqislam - 1 (MAGHARIBA PILOT) - 1 HS.

Nomads - 3 („IGUANA” SQUADRON | „IGUANA” OPERATOR | LIZARD PILOT) - 3 HS.

Combined Army - 4 (RAICHO Armoured Brigade | Shasvastii Light Support Unit HAIDUKS | ÍMETRON | RAICHO PILOT) - 1 CB/3 HS.

ALEPH - 0.

Mercs - 0.

Civilians - 1 (CIVILS) - 1 HS.

To release: 1 CB/19 HS - 20 total.

CB - Core Book.
HS - Human Sphere

I'm pretty sure it wont be any thing for pano because we just got somthing kinda big. So I'm thinking a yu jing and nomads to feel the love in june

It'd dang well better be a raicho. >.<

In case it matters, there still several loadouts that are still unavailable for many units. It seems that Spitfires/HMGs and Sniper Rifles are distinct enough to warrant their own sculpts much of the time.

CB's release schedule is too difficult to predict.

We beg for an Iguana, and they give us a new Daktari sculpt.
We beg for Devabots, and they give us another Daysu equipped with a Sniper Rifle.
We beg for Traktor Muls, and they give us a Wall equipped with a Wulver.

Everything is welcome and wonderful, but it's hardly predictable.

Considering Haqqislam skipped this month, I'm personally hoping for a double-blister with the Hunzakut male sniper from the boxed set and the Hunzakut female rifleer whose concept art has been floating around.

Of course more stuff from the next book. We'd all love that. As long as it isn't more TAGs... ugh...

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that TAG's with pilots don't come as a set with the pilot in it?

My next purchase for my Nomads will be a Lizard, but I'll need to proxy a pilot (unless one comes out next month).

I also hope they do a 'support pack' for the Nomads similar to the one for Yu Jing with a Clockmaker, Daktari and a pair of Zondbots (as I want all of those and its easier justifying 1 box of 4 models to the wife than 4 boxes of 1. Go figure )

Oh my, I'm quite excited if it's true about the Maghariba Pilot and the Tikbalang release. I'm looking forward to as to how they'll interpret the Tikbalang in Infinity: Philippine mythological beings have a special place in my heart since I was a kid (grew up hearing about them from my grandparents, parents and babysitters and I was both scared and fascinated of them at the same time) and I'm really glad that Infinity incorporated that aspect of my culture on their game.

I just wish that they won't go extremely to the man-horse route because only Filipinos will think it's cool, the rest of the world will think it's furries again.

Nothing wrong with furries!

And remember that the others apparently sell very well, so I would be very surprised if we don't see a few more of that style..

Perhaps this 'support box' (which I think is a great idea) is something we will see more regularly now?

Some of the mythological inspirations in the game don't really feel spot-on. I'm thinking about Nisses in this particular case. The description on the Infinity site is pretty much correct, but I think that the public image of a 'nisse' has changed in the last centuries from something the farmers need to be wary of to something more comical, like a garden gnome. I don't think anyone believes that a gnome will come and kill your livestock if you don't leave a bowl of porridge outside for him during the winter. Some people still do it for Christmas, but it's more of a fun thing for the kids. I suppose it's much the same as leaving milk and cookies for Santa (if it's not just something people do in movies ).

All true, except the last part.

As long as it IS more T.A.G.s - yeah!

But how much more awesome would it be if Santa killed your livestock if you didn't leave milk and cookies for him in a bowl outside the door?

In fact, that might well be what I tell my kids (note to self: you are obviously not mature enough yet to raise a family!)

Nomad Support pack as the one that has just come out?

Chimera_Calvin need to pay attention more to threads about Infinity releases!

Well, I can't expect the Haiduk to come out any time soon. The last three CA releases were Shasvastii.

Now, for me, the only things I could really want are weapon variations of some figs.

Still want a Wulver Girl.

Ariadna Archaic Tag with T2 HMG ?

How about a Dog Warrior in TAG style armour...

Frak, i need a cold shower.

On a related note, the Infinity facebook page now has a note saying that they'll start discontinuing the individual blisters for figs that they will be putting in the support packs 3 months after the initial release of the support pack.

Future discontinued models!

The following miniatures will be discontinued from September, 1st:

Yu Jing:
-280318-0086: Zhanshi Yisheng
-280320-0103: Zhanshi Gōngchéng
-280329-0158: Yáozăo

Nomads:
-280523-0147: Clockmakers
-280553-0353: Daktaris 2
-280533-0202: Zondbots
*Note: The figure 280516-0095 Daktaris won’t be discontinued.

As we release new Support Packs in the future, the blisters that compose them will be discontinued 3 months after the release.

Also a bit of a long shot, but as the support packs come out, hopefully we can get a resculpt in each of them, like in the Nomad box? Personally, there's just something that feels off about the Najjarun engineer for Haqq, and I wouldn't mind a new one.

I saw that.

I do wonder how a support pack might work out for Haqqislam or ALEPH, given the former don't have a dedicated doctor option in the same way as other factions and the latter have a combined option that's AVA 2.

I'm pretty okay with not-spot on: aswangs would be terrible if they turn into dogs/pigs/carabaos/chickens and they suck out your mucus.

And yes, I'm being inpatient, but any idea on when June's releases will be shown?

Has the April late release effectively pushed ALL future releases to the end of each month?

These are the questions I'd like answered, please!

People on "The List" knows

From the official forum:

-So, Ravage has spoken!

We can expect:
-box of 4 Shaolin
-Muyib with a new weapon: the heavy-rocket launcher
-New nomad HI for...bakunin! The Riot grrls, with a spitfire.( yes it's really spelled "grrls")
-Metro HMG (YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! at last!)
-And, open your ears all you CA players: A Cadmus character who has morpho scanned one of the most brutal unit in the game...Guess who?

Tasty....

Wow I'm all over those Shaolin! This sounds very cool.

Hmmm I've never used a Cadmus. I need to see what he's like. Morpho is pretty cool but it's very situational. If you can set him up near a Dog Warrior in big shape or a Cameronian he'd rock! Morpho Scan can only work with "organic" creatures, so I'd assume nothing with Structure would work with it. Asuras too would be cool.

My friend's gonna be excited with the Nomad release! And are the rules released yet for the heavy rocket launcher?

Nope, they're just rumours so no stats yet

@CDK: Morpho is even harder that that, the target you want to copy must be unconscious... Getting the Achilles stats would be nice too

I still want the Maghariba Pilot rumor to be true...

@bou: You can morpho-scan a conscious target. They only have to be unconscious if you want to take a weapon from them.

So the morpho-scan doesn't turn them into identical clones, but some sort of hybrid between the victim and Shasvastii (á la Xenomorphs in Alien/Predator-franchise)?

Something that's been bugging me about Haqqislam is that for the army with the most doctors, only have one model from one unit type is irritating.

Seeing a few doctor releases for them would be kind of nice.
