I'm hoping that the Agema's eyes are either an X-visor or MSV1 at most, not MSV2. MSV2 plus missile launcher would be pretty terrifying.
As for Marlene: Not a big fan. I'll be ordering and using a SodaPop mini for that purpose I think...
Infinity: Way, way better than 40K and more affordable to boot!

I can see that to some extent, but an Aleph 'fatty'?
Hard to believe!
Perhaps he is the perfect design for EVA, space travel or playing computer games?

Yes that's a nice idea for using her actually!
I'm also thinking of some kind of scenario, where one faction has to escort the reporter somewhere, while the other 'terrorist' faction (in that scenario) has to try and kidnap. That cute little robot? Has a defence mode where it fires death beams from its eyes.
Come on Corvus Belli, hurry up and announce the Corregidor Sectorial Starter Box and the Merovingian Briscards so I can make my final decision on a faction and can shelve my ALEPH until the inevitable Hindu Sectorial...

Ok guys, I'm pasting some of the comments made in the Spanish forum. I'll have my copy tomorrow, so then I'll be able to answer your questions if you have any. By now, this is what I've been able to read in the forum. Please keep in mind that I don't know 100% of the names in English, for weapons, skills and such. So this might be slightly unnacurate. Heck, I don't even know if "unnacurate" exists
- Haqqislam
Barid, hackers for Hassassins. Mutawi, chain rifle, e-marat and jammer for 5 points. Gulam still have AVA 4 for Hassassin. Sekban, visor 360, basic is 22p, spitfire 29, rocket launcher has 36p. Haris, medic and LT.
- PanO Jotum updated
- Yu Jing
Bao troops can make a 5 members link team only with a Pheasant.4 Bao + 1 Pheasant. No Pheasant, no party. Yojimbo, biker merc for Japanese sectorial. Has koalas and smoke. Tokusetsu Butais have AVA2 in JSA. Asuka Kisaragi, Aragoto character. Raiden. Mid infantry, armour 3, limited cammo, BS 12, spitfire, RL, multi sniper.
- Ariadna
Briscards, Visor lvl1, linkable up to 5 Scots Guards, linkable Metro character, has a Molotok (Ariadna's version of a Spitfire) and X visor. New equipment option for Uxía, V2 has limited cammo and superior infiltration. Caledonians have some rocket launchers New Wulver art, male.
- Combined Army Ko Dali seems to be a good unit. Raicho art is said to be awesome and better than Jotum's. Some new seed troops. Gwailo option with rocket launcher and X visor.
- ALEPH Greek sectorial has more characters than troops. Patroclus has been modified, has DDO, but his holoprojetor is lvl1 now. Achilles has armour 5, 1 or 2p cheaper now. Ajax seems to be pretty scary when you get closer to him. 11 characters total.
- Mercs Merc journalists, flash pulse, stun pistol and knife. I'm not sure this isn't a joke Scarface & Cordelia, 69p 0.5 SWC.armour 5, 2xMK12, panzerfaust, BS13, frenzy.
- Tohaa One regular order for 3 points (I'm assuming this means a cheap regular troop for 3 points). Tohaa can get 8 orders with 52p. A "4 wound" TAG.Not sure about what this means.
Nomads haven't been much commented, I still don't know anything about them (sorry Kan, your Corregidor might have to wait).
@Alpharius -> Jotum has been updated (this might be just putting in paper an already existing update IIRC), and Raicho's art > Jotum's art.
One guy says there is a list for the ship Aurora, lost in Paradiso, like an introduction to the campaign ? :S

That is both blasphemous and awesome - and almost unbelievable! What a tease!
Can someone please post the Raicho art, as soon as possible?
Anyway, thanks for posting that preview - lots of interesting info in there... now if The Warstore would only hurry up and get this book and ship it out to me...

I haven't seen info on the Caliban still. I'll have the book tomorrow, so I'll tell you more then
Some more things:
Neoterra is the only sectorial that doesn't get anything.
Moiras have AVA 4 now (+ Kusanagi? oh yes, pricey but awesome).
Nomads can field 2 Geckos, Corregidor up to 4!
Tohaa: 12 units + Diplomat, no hackers with the exception of Kamael, being defensive hackers. One character. Gorgos, the TAG, should be worried about flamesthrowers.
Ko Dali: 37p, 2 assault pistols, CR, Nanopulser, D-charges, Protheion, no mimethism (sp?), no tactical jump (just the normal jump), maybe striga?. Said to be the EC's Kerrigan

I have a thing about models holding a weapon with two hands, namely that they are impossible to assemble. There is a druze with DEP looking at me, taunting me with his outstretched wrist...
Is there any news on QK goodies? I know that we have some good stuff already, but I'm greedy and all. And will the day ever come that Haqq get a TAG that doesn't cause instant blindness in all who witness it?

I was really hoping the TAG would have some immunity vs the auto-death of fire ammo. Flamers are one thing - I'm hoping a TAG can shrug off DAM 13! - but there are a huge amount of fire ammo weapons hitting with the new book, like every rocket launcher
But meh, I can happily backburner Tohaa and keep pushing CA, with so much new stuff.

CALIBANCALIBANCALIBAN
Can't believe nobody has said anything about them yet. I'm super-excited! What kinds of shenanigans will they be able to pull? Erasoketa, I'll be waiting for this information. And I believe Boss Salvage too would want that info.

I don't know if they need them, but seems that CB thinks they are fine as they are now. The next book (whenever tehy make it) will include the new sectorials, maybe then they'll need to change something for the sake of equilibrium.

The confirmation had come from their web admin when it was discussed that Neotera has only one unit as attackers in prisoner P-9 that can open the airlock and he said they had more, later admitting he used knowledge from play testing to say that.

I hardly could call that a confirmation.
Anyway, I give you the confirmation: there's nothing for Neoterra in this book.
PanO gets two new unit profiles: Crusader bethren for MO and Lt. Stephen Rao of the Bagh Mari for Acontecimento.
Also the already known Jottum changed profile is there, as well as a Santiago profile addtion Combi, E/M grenades for 44 pts.
That's all.
Truth be said, this book brings juicy things to Aleph and CA ( specially if you're a Morat Agression Force player! ) for the most part. The other factions should just expect a pair or three of units, furthermore, YuJing gets the shaft and permanently loses the Ko Dali profile. Even the new Tohaa faction has only a total of 13 unit profiles.
