Very very nice =)

Hrmh.

I like. Nice and heavy armored.

Hopefully the Briscards or Wildcat boxes get previewed next...

MIne mine mine! They look great. I really want two HMG though. The LRL is...okay. Looks great! rule-wise it's okay.

I guess the guy with the shotgun in the five men pic is the old one, plus a new box of four. Is it?

Edit: another piece of info by Bostria (<3) this time on the Tohaa Spec Ops. Yes, Tohaa will have a Spec Ops, called Hathail Spec-Ops, and will be released before the end of the year, again with two heads and different weapons options like the others. And they haven't discarded the idea of making more Spec-Ops for the existing armies, to fit better with some sectorials (as happened with IE having a Morat and a Shasvastii Spec-Ops), if it happens it will probably not be soon, though. It's not a sure thing.

Yep. The bottom would be the boxed set, I think.

yup it looks like that to me. The old one has slightly thicker legs than the news ones, but he fits in nicely. I so want these guys!

Ninja'd by Kanluwen!

Thanks guys! I edited with some more info

They had accident with Kaplan being in there twice.

I believe it's two different entries, one for the Haqq army, as it has a little Haqq symbol under the ava, the other for the mercs faction as there's a little merc symbol under the ava.

So in a vanilla Haqq list we can take two Kaplans I think

Damn, those Wu Ming are nice. It's good to see an HI-linkteam for YJ that isn't extremely specialized.

Fielding these guys plus a Su-Jian and some support, ISS are about to get a lot harder to kill. It's nice to see YJ catching back up in the HI race. They were originally supposed to be best at that while PanO excelled in TAGs, but PanO got lots of HI gooides and beat the Space-Asians at their own game. The WM team feels like a good rebalancing.

I'd love to see a Hassassin spec ops. A spec ops from a division of spec ops. Guy would be super badass. They'd have to give him the Mr Awesome Hafza pose.

From the painter's blog.

I think they have changed the look of the multi-rifle because I can't tell the difference between it and the combi-rifle.

The Wu Mings now get combi rifles too!

I love these guys!

Sweet- it looks like the female HMG Wu Ming conversion that I started (based on a Daofei) is still going to be useful for setting up 2-HMG teams. Nice!

For those who want to replace the LRL sculpt with a conversion, that new SpecOps model is going to provide some very useful bitz.

Really like the understated, almost minimalistic posing on these guys, while at the same time still managing to convey that they are hard-asses. You can imagine them as some kind of spec-ops team clearing rooms, moving through buildings and the like.

Great looking models with simple yet elegant poses, great as always!

We have a new updated Miniatures section!

After hitting F5 and watching my computer make some strange mixture of graphics, my computer made the final menu.
Looks nice.

Looks nice, but it's overall less convenient. I wonder if 10yr from now we'll look back on these overly animated sites and see them as the gif-laden Geocities of their time.

That new miniatures section is a huge step back from what it was.

You have to click twice on a faction icon now before you get to the miniatures, and when you hit backspace you get an empty screen without the icons. You have to click "miniatures" at the top to get back to the icons menu.

I hope they change it back asap because this sucks.

I almost never hit the miniatures button at the top. I go right to the faction I want at the bottom.

I like the new page, it looks fancy. Granted, it could use some fixin'. Make it so that it's not a complete circle, just a half one. Currently there are some factions hidden behind the picture.
Then make it so that the picture changes when moving the mouse over the icons, not when you press them, and make it so that you only need to press once to enter.

Same. Once I saw that little shortcut, I've used it ever since.

Also, the more I look at the Kaplan Security guy, the more I dislike it. I don't know why, because it ticks all of my 'military badass' boxes.

Awesome, come on! Wu mings are some of the coolest releases this year, love them! Kudos for corvusbelli chaps by keeping making the best of the best scifi 28mms

Yes I think CB is going to be wining some awards again for top sci-fi figures.

The Wu Ming are amazing. My -only- complaint is that the basic Yu JIng HMG design is a bit clunky: that suppressor (or whatever the tubey bit on the end of the barrel is) is overly rounded (on the forward and rear edges) which makes it look like a poor sculpt. Cartoon-y guns are a problem with the YJ and PanO heavies, which haven't been entirely rectified yet.

Is CB back on schedule now with their previews?

I admit I've lost track between when they first slipped, then announced a bunch of new stuff for the upcoming campaign book, and the Spec Ops models, etc.

Basically what I'm asking is... can I expect to FINALLY see the Raicho T.A.G. previewed in a few weeks - as it is rumored to FINALLY getting released this November?

I would say yes.

The SPec-Ops were shown and then shipping in about a month. Same with the Tohaa. The Paradiso book is the one thing that is not on track. That's supposed to be an issue with the printers, a second-hand company, and not CB itself.

New objective room for the Campaign by Micro Art Studio.



Also, the pieces of the Objective room are made to be able to combine with the previous buildings by MAS.
That's smart.

All of that is so cool! MAS, Sarrisa, and Warmill are all making some very cool stuff.
