Gorgos Pilot preview from Brueckenkopf Online.

I don't think I'd ever get out of my T.A.G. - I'd figure out a safe way to press buttons from inside...

Still, I do like the pilot models!

I like that pilot. Her knees work.

I'm not a big fan of Tohaa normally but I must say, that pilot miniature is gorgos.

Gorgos pilot will most likely sell a lot because Tohaa out of their simbiots are quite needed.

Which begs the point of "Why wasn't it just included in the box"...

But we all know that answer.

"CB knows best!"

I know it won't happen, but I would really love the Gecko pilot release to be a pair of models. Maybe just literally be the guys from Army of Two doing fist bumps.

This is the Gecko Pilot. It's a May release.

It won't be a double, it won't get bundled in with Geckos or whatever. Because they'd rather get all your money than make things convenient.

Because it would make the box be more expensive.

Did I miss the part where you mail in your proof of purchase and get the TAG Pilots free?

No, of course I didn't. They're not giving them away to people who already own it. Stop trying to pretend like this was done to save the customer some money.

It's part of the product. A Gorgos Pilot can't be used as anything other than a Gorgos Pilot, excepting for someone playing "Counts As".

Did not say anything of the things you list, I said the TAG+ pilot(s) would be more expensive if it was included in the box so it was not included.

I'd pay more for more, and I do wish that CB would do this every now and then - or even always!

That super-saiyan artichoke has the largest personalities in the game save for maybe the Marut.

Better question: Will this, and all the other pilots, be included in the box in the future? CB has stated a desire to reduce and consolidate SKUs. CB has released a fair number of new pilot minis. Seems logical to box the pilot with the TAG.

New releases/to be released:
Guijia
Gorgos
Gecko
Iguana
O-Yoroi
Raicho (and scindron)
Scarface (as a LE for now)

To go with:
Anaconda (already in the box, but still a pilot mini, but not an extra SKU)
Szalamandra
Lizard (as a bootleg)
Maghariba Guard (as a bootleg)

10 SKUs. For marginal units.

Don't forget the Crabbot that got shoveled in with the Techbee...

Iguana Operator is included in the box. It's the Heavy Infantry guy rocking the HMG.

...and the Anaconda pilot.

They're still exceptions considering they're very combat-capable troops with a formidable weapon beyond a simple dinky pistol.

They're exceptions because they're Operators, not Pilots. Operators were designed to eject when the TAG dies to continue the fight. Pilots were an afterthought (they weren't even in the core book with the first manned TAGs - they were added in Human Sphere along with the Operator and Ejection System rules) which CB has now decided to do something with. Which is good, because it's a cool concept. But Operators are very different.

Major Lunah got posted on Data Sphere.

The pictures are huuuuuuuuuge and thus spoilered.

...well, that's certainly a mammal.

Isn't the major luna a recycled mini from elsewhere in the range? The pose looks very familiar!

I could be mixing figs from entirely different games up at this point however!

I can't shake the feeling that it looks awfully familiar!

She has a pose similar to the Wu Ming with HRL and Uxia McNeill(Covert Action).

It's the whole "baseball slide while firing" bit.

Any indicator on which factions can take Lunah in an ITS-legal list?

Negative.

The only thing we have to go on is Bostria saying "ISS, I think" a few weeks back.

Is that an under barrel grenade launcher? Would be cool if that was the case.

I don't believe it is a grenade launcher, it looks like it is part of the design for Viral Sniper Rifles based on previous images.

Dear god CB needs to hire and Arabic translator so I can stop seeing Arabic letters in non-Arabic format.

OMG, Dude! I just realized they tried (and failed) to spell LUNAH on her logo! "Lasiq sniper" on the Lasiq picture does look funny too but my Arabic is not enough to figure out what they meant
