Considering that they don't usually spread misinformation, I'd say it's true.

Wow I love Mondays sometimes because I get a lot of new info at once. I hardly ever get to see anything on the weekend.

I like that it gets posted here fairly quickly too, as the Official Forums are blocked for me at work..!

I'll do my part to keep the news flowing.

Speaking of, from Infinity O-12...

Infinity O-12 wrote:New Models For October (Pictures Coming)
Posted on September 17, 2012 by admin

We just got word from Corvus Belli that the new lineup of models for October will be released next week. We have been lucky enough to get the exact names a bit early and will publish photos as soon as those come in. Stay tuned.

- Tohaa Starter Pack
- Wildcat with Spitfire
- Shasvastii Corax Spec-Op
- Kaplan with Spitfire
- Wu Ming 4 miniature box (Thes guys will have Rocket Launcher and Combi+E/Mitter as new weapon Options)
- Surprise surprise miniature related to the Campaign (Not Gogo Marlene, something else)

Wildcat with Spitfire? Must buy!

Spy pic from the fluff page of the Bao Troop, even though the visible text is from the Asuka Kisaragi fluff (the new Aragoto character)

Can ya translate it Bou?

Not all of us are fluent in Spanish.

Basically it says that she was an underground runner, until she got caught by the police. She was given the choice of working for the police, and mission after mission she became a true heroine until she got to the top rank on the Aragoto squad, First Officer.

That's more or less what it says xD

Hrmh.

So it's almost like a mix of "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Fast and the Furious"?

That can only end hilariously.

Wha...?!?

News about the one faction in Infinity I don't care about/collect?

(Yet!)

I'd like a translation too - even if it is just a summary...please!

Shasvastii Corax is next month, Alph. That should make you happy, right?

Dont lie Alph, you secretly are already collecting arent you?

bou did one....

I had the window open for a while - he posted it while I was goofing off, apparently.

You're right though - I'm already planning out my JSA force!

And yes, the Shasvastii Corax will make me happy - but not as happy as I'll be in November (fingers crossed!)...

Assumed it was something like that...been there

Knew it! The Yu Jing Ministry of Information has been hard at work i see....

Lemme guess, Raicho? For your sake (and sanity by this point) i have also crossed my fingers.

Corvus Belli flatout said that the Raicho is coming out in November. The only thing that will prevent it is an Act of God.

Or... an act of Jotum!

Same thing?

Can't wait though.

I have to admit, I hope it looks like the concept sketch/Raideen thing we've seen.

Expectations are high... so very high!

The Batroid that we've recently seen is apparently the Combined Army's bit which will have the "Baggage" rule.

Make of that what you will...

Batroid?

Pic, please?

That thing.

Psychotic Storm actually posted in this thread, no less, that it will have both Baggage and AI Beacon.

I still can't believe that the CA is getting both of those things.

Maybe they'll work slightly differently for them though?

Might be that it won't be takeable for the Sectorials but for the "vanilla" list.

Goddamit can't Haqqislam have a decent-looking TAG with two legs?

So this is the alleged October release via O-12

Tohaa box set
Wildcat with spitfire
Kaplan
Wu-Ming box set
And a surprise

Just to be totally clear, that's the Kaplan with spitfire.

Yup.

It looks like Kaplans/Wildcats are getting their boxed sets/blisters in November.

If I had to make a prediction...

We are going to see Wildcats in a blister pack format with the following make-up:
Wildcat blister pack #1--1x Combi Rifle/Light Flamethrower Wildcat and 1x Boarding Rifle/D-Charge Wildcat (the "Engineer" option).
Wildcat blister pack #2--1x Combi Rifle/Light Flamethrower Wildcat and 1x Combi Rifle/Light Flamethrower Wildcat who has a Hacking Device. Hacker will probably be done like the Druze Shock Team Hacker where he can easily double as a standard Infantryman rather than a specialist.

Kaplan in a boxed set format with the following make-up:
1x Kaplan Tactical Security with Multi Sniper Rifle
3x Kaplan Tactical Security with Combi Rifles

What's interesting about Kaplan is that from the weapon options we have on the concept art, they seem to actually be more organized towards being a "unit" more than any other Merc unit so far, including the Druze.

The Wildcat Spitfire opens the door for the Corregidor Starter box in November as well, which given what we have from Carlos Torres at GenCon(Alguacil are going to be released in a 4 model box later, Wildcats are taking their spot in the Corregidor Starter box) I'm thinking will have the following:
1x Wildcat with Spitfire
2x Wildcats with Combi Rifles/Light Flamethrowers
1x Mobile Brigada, a new sculpt, with a Multi Rifle. There's precedent for this in the form of the Merovingian Rapid Response Force, which has a female Moblot which is a new sculpt.
1x Hellcat with Boarding Shotgun

Decent looking how?

Haqqislam TAGs are meant to look low tech, since they simply can't afford the better TAGs.

It doesn't have to be hi-tech. The Maghariba has too big a footprint that with the usual amount of terrain Infinity has, it'll have a hard time just moving. A bigger version of any HI would be nice.

The batroid having both Baggage and AI beacon was apparently a translation error from Ravage iirc, it will be a blister with it (having baggage) and an AI beacon.

I love surprises.

That's what PanO sold them, they have really old first generation modern TAGs and their footprint is something they have to deal with.

I really like the Maghariba actually! It has a distinct style, and also makes me think of that really cool robot from the Ghost in the Shell movie. Now it just needs TO capability

The blurb about the biker chick also mentions she is the propaganda poster girl for the Ministry of Information, a fact she does not like but accepts.

I like how it looks. I don't like how it play out.
