I love the Mormaer, but I can't find a place for it in my lists at the moment. Doesn't stop me wanting the model though...

If the wang is an ejection system its definitely a blatant rip off of Zone of the Enders since when the mecha explode the wang shoots off as an ejection system.

I really wish I was joking.

Could well be! A lot of the design is heavily influenced by Manga & Anime.

Because this TAG can be also used as a Qapu Khalqi TAg, and... I swear to God... this might look even better painted with Haqqislam colors.

I might do some photohoping to see how might it look like.

Please do! Will be using this for my QP 'Black Cats' squadron (as I have named them), going to be in a kind of modern military style camo. Not completely sure it will work..

The problem with that is its completely non functional if that's the ejection 'pod', as, well, the pilot doesn't fit in it.

To me it's just aesthetic groin armour. I think we are looking at it too closely. I'm sure it pops off when the pilot gets out but I don't think it's anything special. The arms are clearly different to my eyes but it's not a stretch of the imagination to assume the extra plates are attached when the pilot is getting out, they'll be concealed inside somewhere. I also think the piloting version is wearing special armoured gloves for use in controlling the TAG, I assume these would be discarded but I imagine it's necessary for operating a TAG. I also think it's quite clear that it takes a little while, in RL, to disengage. I'm sure the various bits are automated to seperate but the pilot surely has to go pick up the weapon and attach the ammo belt, for example. Just my opinion but it seems obvious to me that way.

Oh and no need to Photoshop the Iguana, you could use the Dakka Army Painter instead and then everyone can use the template to put their own colours on.

Price on Iguana is up; 44.95 Euros.

Previously the most expensive TAG was 41.95 Euros.

so that puts it at what, $60 USD? For a TAG and a heavy infantry model.... Not terrible... Wish it was a bit lower, but really not terrible.

$60 retail, probably around $48 with $6-7 shipping via The Warstore.

Possibly cause of the HI dude with it? I know there is Cordelia/Scarface, but the guy with the HMG looks somewhat chunkier.

That would be still the Caskuda and its 47.95 €

So it is.

I always forget about the Caskuda being a TAG sized model.

Posted today on Angel Giraldez's FB page:

So....Tohaa light infantry carrying a pig and waving a tailor's dummy over her head and an Aleph matador.

Nailed it.

Gao-Tarsos and Thorakitai with Spitfire most likely.

Pff, as if. You're going to look quite the fool when the models are revealed Kan.

What an utterly ridiculous suggestion! Why even say it? You're wasting our time and your own.


...Seriously Kan, get a grip.

Hmm.. tough to say who I would put my money on for being correct at this point, would say it's 50/50!

Guys - does anyone (in the EU) have experience of buying from CB direct? Want to get the Iguana as close to release as possible, as there is an event I want to use it in during November, am I likely to get it much faster if I buy from the official website does anyone know?

Their orders are dispatched and arrive in a timely fashion, never more than a week after send, usually less.

OK thanks mate, hopefully they should be up on the website soon!

Angel Giraldez just posted this on his FB page, not really news but thought it was cool enough that it deserved to be shown!

Well at least he did make the comparison picture I promised to make way before I managed to do so.

To be entirely honest I forgot about it and remembered it just now, sorry for that.

It does look like the Gao Tarsos, which is a shame as I am hoping to see Neema soon.

From Facebook update, I think this is the first time it was posted. Enjoy the spoiler.

Fantastic!

Dire Foes, I can't wait even those are not for my army

I have an interest in just about every army, much to my wallet's chagrin, so I'm interested in...all of them!

You will not see me disagree with that.

From the official forums, user "Magno" got a shot of some upcoming models. Apparently there is very little light in the box:


From left to right: The Morat SpecOps from the PanO v. Morat "Dire Foes" set(which includes "Fusilier Angus" as well), Trasimedes from the Nomad v. ALEPH "Dire Foes" set, and lastly the Gao-Tarsos with HMG.

...Well that sure makes one reminisce of the early nineties
Gao-Tarsos does look like a nice pose, that much I can make out.

Trasimedes doesn't have a missile launcher? That seems like a missed opportunity.

It seems that in a game about guns, you must be brandishing a melee weapon to be a named hero in Aleph.

Nice, Gao Tarsos has an interesting pose.
