Also, did I miss a new version of the Jotun? Since when do they carry hammers?
Since that picture.
Bear in mind that the profile art would usually get released a week or so later via their FB. There's some folks who have posted it on the official forums, but I can't copy/paste it over here because the images would show as broken until you sign in to their forums.

Ooof, $55 for the rulebook even on Gamenerdz, not sure if it's worth even picking it up considering how I virtually never used the N3 rulebook, the free PDF and especially the wiki was always vastly more useful in N3 and I expect the same will be true for N4.
Starmada looks...OK. Kosmoflot and White Banner looks...OK. Nothing has me super excited about N4 yet. Well, not entirely true, I absolutely love the suppressive fire on turn 1 for a command token, that's actually something I've specifically wanted for a while now. Change to smoke and MSV1 is awesome (can see through it at negative modifier), makes smoke slightly less dominating. Want to see more of these little changes.
I'm pretty tempted as I enjoy reading the fluff parts and I really like the bundled mini. At the same time this will probably be discounted another $15-20 dollars in 3 months and there's a decent chance the mini will still be with it.

The Daedalus Falls book is on sale at Gamenerdz -- 84 in stock. Ouch-- and it includes the LE BRawler mini. https://www.gamenerdz.com/infinity-daedalus-fall-hardcover-w-brawlers-promo-figure Wait til Black Friday. I bet N4 goes on sale. The book isn't even released until the end of October anyways, so you're not going to wait much longer tobe getting it.

(1) the multi story pre painted cardboard building for all the intro videos are
(2) the cardboard air ships in the battle report are
Love them
(1)The buildings are apparently from MicroArts Studios.
(2) The dropships, called the UD-12 Chickenhawk, are papercraft designed by Topo Solitario. Here are some of the designs you can download, print and build yourself. There is no 0-12 version. http://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/chickenhawk.html These have been around since almost the beginning of the game.
So Bahram is getting some love. Interesting. Lots of very nice looking minis. Loks like CB artists, designers and sculptor have been spending their lock-down time productively. Credit where it is due. CB has done outstanding work on the minis. I'm very impressed.

Love the look of the Blue Wolf, and the new Haq TAG. The 16 order / unit limit guideline for tournements is ruffling some feathers, but it's not a hard rule, but then again hot tkaes and the internet.
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

No
The general idea is to discourage unit spam for the sake of time.
Personally, I don't think it's that restrictive. The most orders I've ever run was 16, and that's with spamming Irregular Haqq MuttGhazi and other Irregulars. Plus, this is only for N4 ITS as a "Tournament Standard". I rather like that this encourages higher point levels to field better *quality* units over *more* units. I've never seen it played, but MRRF Metro Spam was reportedly effective back in the day.

There was also a resin version of the Chickenhawk made by Antenocitis and you can see it in the background of the O-12 group shot. Unfortunately their licence must have been limited to whatever KS they were doing at the time (Forward Base, I think) as you can't buy it or the STL from their site.

...I don't know if we can be friends anymore.
Jotum alt seems to be locked into an ITS pack though?
How easy - or hard - are those to get?
Fwiw, if I happen to ever come across one then you can have it. I like the smaller PanO tag they previewed at the end. I think I just prefer them to be much taller but only moderately bulkier versions of their heavy armor. I know this won't help but i still think the Jotum looks better than the Caskuda at least.

The Jotum, remember, is supposed to be the heaviest TAG in the Human Sphere. It's also Remote Presence, so being made to look like a 'person' isn't a huge deal.

However, I honestly had hoped they'd come up with a more fluid way of dealing with this than an arbitrary break.
They are not forcing it to make Group 1 with ten units and Group 2 with five units.
That image is just an example, you can assemble your combat groups in the way you want.
Group 1 with seven units and group 2 with eight units, whatever.
Still flexible.

Thanks! I appreciate that!
I'll try to get one directly once it is available.

Well, you're not wrong, but damn I still 'miss' the Caskuda too...

With every big announcement from CB, I hold on to hope that the Caskuda will return in some manner. Next Combined Army sectorial is supposedly the "EI" sectorial, so there's still hope for the Caskuda and the other space-buggers.

I think Exrah suffered from poorly planned models and molds, making them both difficult to manufacture and difficult to sell due to the infect motif.
As much as I hate to say it, a more humanoid insect like the newer Shasvasti along with less metal-heavy sculpts could bring them and the Caskuda back. Right now Exrah was one of the few things that really sold how alien EI was.
Also, is the bear some kind of generic experiment, or is there an antipode bear going around biting people on Ariadna?

Some designs Jed has licensed don't allow for STLs to be sold. I think the Superhawk is one of them. I don't think he's selling it currently as he's still focusing his resin manufacturing on delivering other KSers as he's really limited in his production atm.
