Moon knight?

Moon Knight's name is (for the most part) Marc Spector.

He's a Marvel Universe super-hero.

There's a "Raoul Spector' in that sectorial - hence the Moon Knight 'joke'!

"Tanko" is a helmet worn by foot soldiers.



EDIT: Spoilertagged the gigantic image.

His icon is the primary reason I think its more than a passing coincidence.

Also, the Tanko are listed as a Special Fireteam, which lines up with the Haramaki, which require at least 1 Domaru or Neko to link.

God, was I overthinking that...

So I'm guessing Starco is the 'Outrage' list, considering



I was hoping for a list that had all of the characters.

Oniwaban and Keisotsu for sure, along with any of the characters listed under the JSA thing.

Spoiler:

Slightly better photo, it doesn't blur out the link types.

I think I saw 1 TO & 3 camo tokens on the sheet.
Not sure if those sheets are generic or tailored to the army box they come with...
I would assume this means the Unit-9 guys have camo then. Makes sense because it looks like they’re replacing Raiden.

Quite the hodge-podge of units.

Four new armies coming in addition to all of this. Hmmm. Vedic, Tunguska, Varuna, Invincible Army?

Also, is anyone excited to play thes messy lists?

Ah ok, yes, he is a new character.

I can't find a TO camo marker that looks like it came off a sheet rather than a cutout so I think they're tailored specifically to the army box they come with, at least in my USARF Army Box stuff that I dug out before commenting--wanted to make sure it wasn't just a 'generic' sheet but the stuff has been punched out for so long that I can't say for 100% certainty.

As I have 4 normal camo markers in the box and baggy within(Foxtrot Ranger is Camo plus he has AP Mines--4 camo markers), I think it's important to note that it could just be Oniwaban(TO Camo) and one of the new models has Mines(which would jibe with it being 3 Camo markers)

The other connection I just rememberd. Raoul Bushman is the merc who left Marc Spector for dead in tomb where he first becomes Moon Knight and goes on to be one his major recurring villains, so... yeah, its totally Moon Knight.

They are tailored. The S5 marker in this box has the silhouette of the big guy in this box - Red Veil has the Ahl Fasid on it. The USAriadna one didn’t have a TO camo marker, but Icestorm and Red Veil did.

I don't own any of the non-CJC stuff from StarCo, so assuming there's some fun mechanics available, I'll probably paint stuff up in CJC colors and have it as an option. Looks by the logo that they're running the same color scheme anyway.

The book is about non aligned armies, minor factions in the Infinity universe, these are some of the biggest mercenary companies out there in the narrative and JSA's political and military power level is at this stage at the moment, remember even Ariadna are a major power in Infinity.

I mean no major power sectorial would fit in this book.

Yeah, I know. I was holding out hope for something that was more compelling (to me), but I dont really know what that would be that would fit in this book. Well, I guess its JSA. I dont really find the MERC stuff interesting at all, but the JSA succession is. It takes both the army and the narrative in a neat direction. But thats just my opinion. I know a lot of people have been super excited for mercenary stuff. Hopefully the next book will be more my speed.

The Raiden HRL profile has Minelayer along with Limited Camo.

So, assuming that the Ryuken are effectively Raiden replacements, that's two Camo Tokens for Batou and one for the Major - three tokens accounted for.

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer:
With the USARF box it's 4 camo tokens labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Three of them are for his AP Mines since AP Mines deploy as camo tokens.
You always carry 3 Mines so that would be all 3 of his Mines plus him as the 4 Camo Markers.

That's what I was getting at by mentioning Mines.

Yeah looking at that now, I bet someone has mines.
Probably the unit-9 guys, but who knows, could be the biker or fatty HI.

This new book and army pack seems to be a good idea and the sculpts look cool, but I really haven't played Infinity since last March.

Because of that I sadly can't muster the energy to be hyped for any of this.

edit - huh, didn't notice the new O-Yoroi was an arm swap on the old model.

I was really underwhelmed upon closer examination. While I’ve always wanted the o-yoroi to actually hold the sword, I cannot for the life of me figure out what he’s doing in this new pose.

They should have just given it Guija arms.

It looks like it's shooting something large - another TAG, probably, while drawing back for a sweep with the sword arm. Mind you, I was never sure how it actually drew that blade in the first place.

It looks like one of those things where if you swapped the right arms on the models, they'd both end up looking better.

Well now we know the reason why there were claims of "PanO crying"...Daiyokai Dengekitai has MULTI Marksman Rifle and Panzerfaust or Red Fury, Panzerfaust.

Truthfully, I'd be more annoyed as USARF. Fatality on this stupid thing? Really?

Its only Fatality lvl1. +1DAM to BS weapons on a expensive profile, although it's rather good with Daiyokais weapon options but not something to "cry" about not having.

The interesting profiles out of these shown was to me the new kempetais. Really liking the MSV2 Marksman. I could se myself using a core of MSV2 Kempetai with Domaru Spit and 2 Tagalong Keisotsu FO and a Paramedic.

The other updated profile that caught my eye was the new Oniwaban with SMG. Puting him in suppression fire far forward will be tough to if it managed to take out the MSV2 threat first.

Have we heard about what's up with Raiden yet?

That's more the issue, at least for me.

Plus the weapon options. I mean really, MULTI Marksman Rifle on an HI? Would have been nice for Aquila Guard to get as an option.

Raiden is Ryuken - 9 atleast the HRL one is same profile

Agree that it would have been a nice option for other units as well. Maybe they will get it in the future since its a new weapon and didnt exist when the Aquila profile was done.
