Still has quite a few bugs to work through. Combined got a whole lot of new symbols for Shasvastii and EI units. Has anyone figured out how to delete a unit from your list?

Whatever I select, the units still display in ascending publishing order, which is the worst possible way to display units.
Have you dragged the sort criteria into a different order? It sorts by whichever one you dragged to the top, then by the second, then by the third etc.
Dragging?! I had no idea I was in the presence of such powerful tech! (OK, yeah, you could rearrange your team by dragging in Army 5, but still...)
Haha, thanks! Now I know how to use them, I'm liking the freedom to rearrange the army lists in all these different ways.
I do wish they'd implement the order ALEPH Toolbox used to use, though, which I believe was to order the units in average point-cost order, within unit types. So, LI listed from cheapest to most expensive, then MI, etc. Don't know how other people got on with it, but it made it even easier for my brain to parse than alphabetical order, thanks to the order having a meaniingful context.

Mouse over a unit and a cross appears at the top right to delete it.

The "Locust Clandestine Action Group" is now CONFIRMED! Because of a glitch in Army VI, the Krakot Renegade Morat icon is showing instead as the icon for the Locust!
HOOOOOOOOOOOORAY!
Blackfriars confirmed as well!
New Tohaa unit as well!

Krakot are specific to "vanilla" lists and Morat Aggression Force. The link for them is live but not functioning properly; hence why we got the Locust icon.

Blarg, there's still using only icons to represent units instead of words. I know you can hover over them, but it's a pain for newbs like me who don't recognize all the icons on sight. The left/right arrows on the icon bar give no indication if there's actually anything to the left or right. The filters also don't adjust based on the other filters you've selected (ie: you've selected Line Troops but the Weapons drop down still shows all weapons instead of ones available to those Line Troops). Yes, fast, yes, looks great, good, debatable.
In their defense, the names can be just as confusing as well.

Found it in the MAF list but there is still not locust / Krakot icon to find in the vanilla lists

Was only showing up in certain Vanilla lists. You had to scroll alllllllllll the way to the end.

This quote from -V-s article on the Infinity site is intriguing

I knew that Icestorm did very well for them. I had not heard that it had such a ripple effect though.
I would love a simple search box. Type in a unit name and get the profile. The hunt and peck through the icons gets old pretty quickly.

She wouldn't be a "character" but rather just an alternate sculpt, like the Tabitha Bolt.
She's such a radically different design to the existing Druze that I think we might see a resculpt of them coming sometime soon.

Remember ABH use what ever equipment they want.
And CB has said multiple times they like the books limited models to have a use for as many players as possible. Druze would not fit that bill.

And yet, they released a limited edition Joan of Arc(usable by PanO players) and Miranda Ashcroft(ISS and non-Sectorial/non-alien players) and Authorized Bounty Hunter(ISS and non-Sectorial/non-alien players).
They're just not really used much anymore because they were never really "OMG WOW!" profiles to begin with, and with the addition of Kaplan the one Sectorial where Druze could be taken(Qapu Khalqi), the Kaplan became such an auto-take that Druze got shoved out entirely.
Especially one with blue hair!!!
Pft, hair has nothing to do with factions!

Umm... Arc DOES NOT come with a CB Infinity book. And you know that, so don't play dumb.
And you also know the other ones you pointed out, fall under the most player possible statement. As in all factions expect aliens and even a sectional or two. All are within the stated goal of CB limited book models. I mean Carlos even said the except aliens faction part as they have limited crossover.
Thanks for playing.

Check out what "Studio Giraldez"(aka: Angel Giraldez, the guy painting Infinity stuff for how long now?) has listed under their occupation on the Facebook page.
Head Painter Corvus Belli S.L.L ( Infinity)
Whether you want to claim it's "not a CB Infinity book" or not, the model was produced specifically for his book, was sold by Corvus Belli through their webstore, was promoted by Corvus Belli heavily, had models donated to the production of the book by Corvus Belli, and several other things which basically say "This is a Corvus Belli sponsored production".
Did they publish it? Nope! But to pretend it is not effectively a "How to Paint Infinity Miniatures" book is pretty disingenuous.
And you also know the other ones you pointed out, fall under the most player possible statement. As in all factions expect aliens and even a sectional or two.
There currently exists one(and only one) faction allowing for Bounty Hunters. That's the Imperial Service(aka: ISS).
It's also worth noting that it's not like I concealed that fact. "ISS and non-Sectorial/non-alien players" is pretty on the nose as to what it contains. You can feel whatever you like, I still will maintain that shutting out(deep breath):
Tohaa
Steel Phalanx
Combined Army
Morat Aggression Force
Shasvastii Expeditionary Force
Onyx First Contact Force
Corregidor Jurisdictional Command
Bakunin Jurisdictional Command
Neoterra
Military Orders
Aconticemento Shock Army
Merovingian Rapid Response Force
Caledonians
USAriadna Ranger Force
Qapu-Khalqi
Hassassin Bahram
Japanese Sectorial Army
versus allowing Bounty Hunters in:
PanOceania
Nomads
Ariadna
Haqqislam
ALEPH
Yu-Jing
Imperial Service
Kinda paints a big picture that they don't quite understand the concept of "accessibility" as much as you seem to be arguing for.
All are within the stated goal of CB limited book models. I mean Carlos even said the except aliens faction part as they have limited crossover.
If you want to get into the specifics, the "stated goals of CB limited edition book models" is:
A) Maintain the most accessibility for those who have the model and want to make use of it in-game(i.e. why they have not done another Miranda Ashcroft--a model with a unique profile)
and
B) A "special preorder bonus" that is to appeal to collectors/painters as well as gamers.
On a far more fun and on-topic note, March 28th is the date for Human Sphere N3 preorders and another Beasts of War Infinity week apparently.

If it was a CB product why did he use a bank loan to pay for it ? One he had to pay back himself not CB.
It called Trade Partners, while he may paint only for them now, he studio if not CB it is his own.
What other unit can be used by as many list as ABH/Ashcroft again, maybe you can remind me. I can't seem to recall it.

Giraldez is a CB employee and has been for a long time. His book, though, was his baby, but he had a lot of support. Jeanne d'Arc and J d'A 2.0 are both generally available sculpts, which means the new sculpt that came with his book is just a bonus, not an essential, unlike Miranda Ashcroft or the CSU ( actual profiles with LE minis. Boo! CB)
Nobody plays Druze, nobody. At least that I've seen or heard of in my years of playing. The blue haired mini looks like it could stand as a Ghulam or something though, hmm, even an Acontecimento Regular... works for me.
