Huh.
Not sure how I feel about him honestly. The musculature is getting in to 'crazy bananas' territory and the hair is a bit iffy.
The two bikers are gorgeous models, this one overdoses on the same themes a little,
I think that's the most negative I've ever been about an infinity model.

It is Lobo!

He just needs a giant hook instead of the sword.

So... I only have the Haqqislam starter set... would a set of 2 biker and him be a good addition?

Yes, they are.
The Bikers are very cost effective. 11 pts "Impetuous" troops and "Dogged", this means that even after receiving one wound they still continue charging against the enemy.

They are big, difficult to control, and in 3rd editon wont get the benefits of partial cover... and EVEN with those "cons" they are a terrible threat to your enemy.

That's great to hear. I just looooove the models. Have not played a single game of Infinity (neither 2nd nor 3rd) but liking a model is the best reason to use it, right?

Wow he is a beaut.. although that's possibly not the correct word to use!

Think if even if you aren't into Infinity you could get him along with the two Kum bikers to have some kind of cool post-apoc biker gang display or something.

Those bikes are absolutely amazing.

I'm glad to see more "flavour" injected into their model range. No one does better power-armour sculpts, but I like seeing them stretch their creativity, and low-tech models for non-Ariadne are pretty unique.

Plus the lack of armour will make it easier for my JSA slice 'em up.

Yeah, yeah. Big talk, let's see some dice rolling.

We don't have rules for Kasym yet, right?

Seems the sword previewed earlier was Kaysim Beg after all.



It looked a bit too dainty to be beefcake Kaysim; I assumed it was the female Hassassin Govad at first.

Rob Liefeld strikes again

Previous page. Kaysim Beg.

Also this Facebook picture where Giraldez will post a tutorial:

Not sure how I missed it - but I certainly did!

Impressive, but I'm holding out for the Haqqislam Super-Solider Sectorial - you know, the one whose name I can never remember.

El Medinate?

A few tweaks and you got yourself the MAIN MAN. Another miniature that will patiently sit in queue until I get to it ;(.

That model is pretty metal!

I think the influence is totally the Batman villain Lobo.

I like him but is he supposed to be a super soldier or something?

His arms are bigger then his legs.

That happens with steroid users who only work out their upper bodies. He certainly looks like he's been juicing.

Cheap smoke, chain rifles and appalling speed. They are nasty in N2, and I suspect that even with the larger base they will continue to be. So, an unqualified yes.

Impressive mini, but almost a parody, to my eyes.

The only other release this month is the CA starter. I expect that to be all sorts of awesome. I predict that I won't be disappointed.

I don't think Lobo is a 'Batman' villain - he's too powerful!

Spoiler:

Being the comic geek that I am I have to correct you. He was sometimes a superman villain. Especially in the cartoon. He would have pulped Batman with his pinky.

I think Begg looks fantastic too.

Agreed classic lobo would eat batman

I was about to bring up Lobo, since if you paint him like a goth he'd look pretty much exactly like that

Huh.. I'll have to keep that guy in mind if I ever want to do a long-haired the Hulk riding a motorcycle

I mean it's a really neat model, but he seems awfully chunky muscles wise.

I think I'll stick to the Aragotos (someday) since they'll work better for an Akira themed bike gang anyway

Begg would work well for the leader of the Clowns, you'd just have to modify his hair style a bit.

Not to take it too far off topic, but it looks like Lobo is going to get a licensed model from Knight Models in the newer future anyway.

Nah, he's much more similar to Skar than his pops, the Hulk. In any case, I suspect my shadowrun gang models will be plus one with him. Bootleg Penthesilea has to hang with someone!

That is all.

A Knight Models version just means some cross- system proxying is gonna have to happen!

The ridiculous musculature thing works on characters. Not so much on grunts.

Beer at Gencon to whoever gets this converted and painted up first. You've gotta have the chain around one forearm though.

Warboss, is Lobo's dad really the Hulk? Holy crap.

Wrong universe. Skaar is the Hulk's half alien vaguely dark age gladiator emo son. Because comics are a machine that beats ideas to death.

Have we seen all the minis for the Combined set yet? Or just the one mini and all the concepts?
