New ITS missions.

just in time to plan for them in the Christmas day.

This's rather depressing. I've been having problems with specialists before, now I don't know what to do. I'm sure anyone that can field Paramedic AD will field it. No cost to SWC and only few points upgrade, adding SK specialists...

The scattered boxed scenarios made me particularly angry as that scenario kills my double groups I loved to play. I'm afraid I have no interest in playing new scenarios.

I hadnt heard that Angel had moved solely to doing CB work... they really must be shifting up a gear keeping him fully occupied!

Lovely Tohaa....

FTi we're getting in the PlastCraft scenery next year (January order for the new 2.0 sets) along with the other official partners' stuff.

Did I miss something in the mission? Looks like another Order-hungry mission where two full groups is a big advantage to me.

Well, it would mean paramedics can finally do something else other than killing my models.

I just see this as catching up to the armies that already have AD or Infiltrating specialists available; it evens the field a bit more. It also helps those armies that have problems with fielding enough specialists period (and whose existing specialist choices are kinda pointsinks, like Ariadna (defensive hacking device and Irmandinhos are not very good compared to Nomads' AD engineers and the like).

Also IMO anything that gets more medics on the field makes games more interesting and realistic, as opposed to the ruthless headlong rushes into death that games without medics simulate.

I'm with IJW, confused about why you would say that. Are you seeing something in the scenario rules that we're not? As a guy who plays 2-order-group ISS or JSA a lot, I'm usually on the look out for anything that hampers hordes- and I fail to see any problems here. In fact this scenario looks like it will favor those lists with tons of orders.

Aaaaaaand I just noticed that there are no more Lieutenant specialists in the missions.

That's a -really- big change. While removing TAG specialists is perhaps better for balance, that also removes many really cool specialist choices (Oniwaban specialists, HI specialists, etc. etc.). Not sure I support that... couldn't they have just ruled that TAGs are not specialists?

And watch, PanO or Nomads are going to get a TAG that sports its own hacking device...

I do hope it's PanO. However once I've "finished" (got to a playable level) my PanO I play on doing a Nomad army anyway...

As long as it looks cool I don't really care who gets it!

Supply Boxes can only be Destroyed by DA, EXP, K1 or Viral
Special Ammunition.

This is a huge problem. The cheapest SWC type of weapon I can field is Guarda de Assalto at 50 points and 0.5 SWC, other weapons that are lighter on points are typically included in the link to stall the enemy. ASA in particular has a lot of SWC drain, please don't try to suggest double Machinists. I've tried them and they are a waste of points for what they offer you. MO is perhaps the best PanO sectorial for this scenario, infiltrating TO specialist, Konstantinos and Brethren with Multi rifle. It's just frustrating to know you'd need to deal with a composition like this, while the opponent will just look at your end and see how you intend to approach the game.

ISS is in a better spot. I imagine the next time I face my regular ISS guy the Dakini and Sforza will be present.

I guess the multi sniper rifles in link team or alone despite the high SWC will become more relevant in ASA.

OK, I can see your point now. On the other hand I rate the Regular Sapper Sniper for objective missions anyway.

There's only a few days left in December...and in 2013!

Those December previews have got to be Monday, right?


I just really want to see that Morat box!

Previews up!

The new crews are just outright top notch, any word on a new campaign yet?

The new guys are just itching for one.

What new campaign?

Those Morats - so good.

A little bit of 'tiny head syndrome', but still most excellent.

Uxia is a bit...underwhelming, but still good - and Mr. Rao is quite nice.

So yes, yet another expensive month, but at least not until 2014!

*head explodes*

Those Morat are absolutely, god-damned awesome. Think that probably has to be the best starter set in the range, I just don't know where to start heaping on the praise.

Stephan Rao also looks suitably bad-ass, and again what a paintjob.

Uxia looks nice, big improvement on the previous miniature.

I can see that but it does make me wonder if thinking that is a by product of heroic scale miniatures in other ranges setting a perceived scale image in our mind. I also wonder how big their heads actually are under all that hair... now I just had a thought of painting the Morats up like Lions with their big manes. I can't wait till I have these guys in hand to see if the feeling that their heads are slightly out of scale remains after scrunity.

From the looks of it, the Morats bodies overall are much larger than a human's body while their heads are the same size. Most of the Morats are having difficulty staying on their bases and are rather tall; not even the bulky hulking superhuman (supertohaa?) Chaksa are even as big as a standard Morat Vanguard Infantryman.

WOW! Looks like I will be starting a Morat force after all! Uxia is pretty sweet, but my goodness I am totally blown away by Rao! I really want re-sculpts of the Bagh Mari and Akalis now!!

Makes me want to dump all of my other game systems and just focus solely on Infinity!!

Not seeing the issue with the head size? They certainly don't look out of proportion.

For me, these are some of the coolest looking miniatures released this year, and 2 days before the end of 2013. If you had a visual-dictionary, that Tempest Regiment miniature would be under the entry for B, 'bad-ass'. And the level of detail on that miniature, you have to shake your head and remember this is at 28mm scale.

Kan has yet to post, and I can only assume that's because he's logged on to look at this thread, seen the Morat starter set and literally just exploded.

Is that OTT enough yet? As I'm sure you can tell, I was looking forward to that Morat set far too much to be healthy, and it has managed to live up to the expectations. 'A' fething plus, I absolutely love them.

... I'm going to go now..

Morat box looks great. Love the new direction they're taking with them. Sogarat looks absolutely brutal. Only complaint is the similar posing of the Vanguard Infantry. It looks like 3 consecutive snap-shots of a single model. Surveying - reacting - charging. I would have loved a more shooty pose. Either way, this is a must for me.

The Morats are amazing but those Tohaa are WOW!

I was looking forward to the Morat the most, but I honestly need to see larger/better pictures of the Vanguard heads to be sure what to think of the faces & hair.

Right now it looks like someone dropped a bucket of water on their heads and hit them with the shrink ray at the same time (not a good design direction Imo).

Infinity News!



























This is fething SPECTACULAR

Seeing a comparison of the Morat Vanguard alongside humans may also provide nice context as to their proportions.
