They look fantastic if you ask me, although I would not object a bit more armour but they tie up with Oznat in aesthetic.


And this is what puts them over the top for me. Since I can't find a store that sells Human Sphere or later books in Japan, I mostly judge Infinity miniatures by their look because I don't know much of the background. Before these guys came out, the Oznat was severely out of place. As far as I know she's the only Morat not wearing extensive armor and practical body covering. It really looked like CB were just going excessive cheesecake on them (the female one has to wear a metal bikini!). Now I'm not about to lead a march to proclaim CB sexist or anything, but it did make me uncomfortable and make me unlikely to invest in the MAF Starter even though I really, really like all the other models. Now that we've got other models showing the shirtless side of Morat culture, suddenly she fits in, and the whole starter set looks appealing. I'm currently trying to get YJ and Corregidor sets painted up so I can learn to play with friends who haven't started collecting yet, and now it's suddenly looking conceivable that I might get some Morats in there at some point.

The Engineer Tomcat has been out since 2011. It's worth mentioning that the upper torso on both the DEP and Engineer Tomcats are really weird. It's hard to delineate what is actually armor and what is cloth/leather bits.



Apparently it's a boxed set.

DEP(which is currently the "standard" profile), Doctor, Zondcat, and Engineer.

Zondcat is a new design.

I'm 50/50 on it. Ditching the tail and then painting it in darker tones might make it look a lot better.

If.. well, when I start a Corregidor force it's going to be based around the Tomcats and Kowalsky because I love both the look and the concept. But man that Zondcat..

..and I thought Moriarty looked a bit daft!

Angel Giraldez put up a better shot of the Zondcat.


One leg is down, one is behind it. It's in the trademark "AD profile" pose.

Usually, you just do the Daktari test. Look at their collection to see which version of the Daktari they have. If they have both, take the benefit of the doubt.

...It is not a Tomcat at all. It is a Mollycat. Lol. Bakunin fever strikes in Corregidor.

Man that titty-kitty robot is weird looking, if it was just a straight up cat-girl robot fine, that's fair enough, but instead its some freaky robotic circus mascot. I swear I got chased around by these things in silent hill 3.

The tomcats on the other hand look as great as they always have.

That zondcat is really silly IMO. It would require extensive converting to be usable.

Moriarty was cool: just enough silly customization, but with a compact pose that made it more subtle. The huge fans on the new one (when the AD tomcats don't even have them) and the odd sexed-up physiology are pretty awkward- nevermind the ridiculous winky-eyed cartoon head. Do not want.

If you -really- wanted to use the mini, cutting the top two fans off and subbing in a different head (Vortex helmet with little ears on top or maybe something from the 40K dark eldar range) could make it less egregious. There would still be the dumb shoulderpads though. Putting a little fan unit on the back of the existing Nomad palbots would be a lot better probably.

Which is annoying because that doc would be nice to add to my existing Tomcats. Boxsets have definite downsides for existing collectors.


Infinity: Way, way better than 40K and more affordable to boot!

Pretty funny how many people are put-off by the chest design on the cat - have to say I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out.

All I will say is, this is CB sticking to the anime influences of Infinity, and if you have been following the game for more than a few months you shouldn't be surprised by it.

But I'm sure you could flatten the chest, put a screaming angry robot head on the top, and replace the hands with missile launchers if that is more your thing.

I'm in the same boat! Hopefully they will do as with the Neo-terra, and have a limited-time sale on the new sculpts.

I think its less the case that it has breast, but rather the strange combination of elements overall such as the disjointed looking arms (and body as a whole), square feet and samurai pizza cat head.

CB's anime style is great, but this is just a weird design choice overall.

At first I didn't know why the Zondcat was getting so much hate. I mean, the giant fans are silly, but it seems to me that Nomads need a little silly in order to be properly Nomads.

It turns out those giant fans were distracting me from the robot kitty-boobs, but now that I've seen them I can't unsee them.

Those push the model past silly and square into creepy territory. I think the only way I could use that model is if the shoulder pads don't come molded onto the torso so I can file off the completely unnecessary human boobs on a robot cat.

Gah. I'm building a Bakunin force where I'm converting them all into furries and here comes CB putting out Corregidor furry stuff too.

So many games, so little time.

So many models, even less time.

Screw it, Netflix and chill.
