I can't tell if its male or female either! But I still like the sculpt.

Wait! I figured out why we can't figure it out!

Its French!

It is what you want it to be. There done.

It's Johnny Depp. There done.

That Moblot sculpt has really grown on me. Used to think it looked far too thin, but realising it's a female sculpt (and actually quite subtly done) has made me appreciate it a lot more.

Anyone know if they were planning on re-sculpting some of the Ariadna heavy infantry though?

They're basically planning resculpts of a lot of the "old" sculpts.

Hellcats I know are up for it, as the "revamped" Hellcat Boarding Shotgun attests.

And the conversation quickly shifts away from Transgendered French Johnny Depp.

I think the Lasiq sculpt is pretty hot and badass in equal parts without being cheesecake. Even if she does have heels. I like it that some of the most dangerous models in my army are females. The Muyib with Spitfire, the Lasiq sniper, my Maghariba Guard, the Odalisques.

Cheesecake sculpts be damned, in Infinity you can kick ass regardless of gender and that's awesome.

On the note of old sculpts though... OMG Minuteman. Priority 1.

As a very interesting note...

The PanOceanian "Shock Army of Acontcimento" starter box is showing broken image links, but the item itself is still tagged in the PanOceanian gallery. It shows the same image on the gallery as well...

Why is this interesting?

The same thing happened with the Haqqislam starter box when they revamped it.

So I got my copy of Paradiso today, and I have to say that it blows any other rule book or source book I have owned out of the water .

I feel that I really need to purchase the other books at some point now.

I guess it makes sense that they would like to revamp the jungle themed starter box. But I really wish they revamp the vanilla PanO box. It has some ugly contents that box.

Honestly, Acont. is still so new that it is probably just a gremlin. Corr still needs its set and PanO, Combined and Nomads still need a resculpt of their basic box (especially PanO). It would be weird to issue a new box for Acont. before then.

See, I thought that too...

But then someone else pointed out that even the Acontcimento Regulars blisters are having the same issue.

Theory on the official forums at the moment is that it might be ABC throwing weight around due to the "likeness" of the models to those of the "Lost" characters.
The weird thing is, of course, that the one photo of the 3 pack is still present on the Sniper(Sapper) for the Regulars and that image is clearly not broken.

I never noticed that before. Now I can't unsee it.

This seems like Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy Action of the Highest (Lowest?) Order!

ABC, rattling legal sabres over CB's Infinity miniatures for a PanOceania Sub-Faction that kinda sorta look like characters for a show that's no longer on the air and ended with a whimper and not a bang?

Sure...

Oh definitely, it's a TFHC...but it definitely is a bit more believable than the SAA starter box being redone.

Unless we're going to see the Regulars being bundled into a box of their own and the SAA starter box repackaged to not include the Knight of Montesa.

Haha right! Well, I guess it's a credit to the sculptors?!

Although.. really... I mean, come on ! Jesus H. Christ some people need to get a life if that's true

Achilles, the Aleph starter and the Sophotects are not showing either.

They don't even have a picture on the Aleph front page, as opposed to the PanO stuff which at least still has that.

I wouldn't put much into something that might just be a glitch.

They are probably getting new images ready and someone might have over written the old images by mistake, or some code was broken, etc.

Also, It shows up fine on the on-line store.

I'm glad they are doing re-sculpts more often. It's good for them as a business too. They can only expand the game so much but they can keep making minis by fazing out old ones to sell new ones.

So far I'm pretty happy with the new book even though I haven't had much chance to read it.

This month's "preview" from Angel.

Which is kinda interesting, since it doesn't have the Briscard...

Seems to have a distinct lack of anything that could be the Raicho too!!!

Although interestingly, the 4 models with white bases could just be unfinished...it looks like the model with them is in fact the Spitfire Wildcat.

I'm hoping that's not ALL of the models for 'November'.

I could've sworn that we were 'promised' the Raicho for this month...

And if not...

Someone's going to be in BIG trouble!

It only looks like 3-4 releases, 5 is the normal target number, so I wouldn't worry just yet.

You hear that Kan - you don't have to worry...

...yet!

Raicho is CB's Tau. Always just around the horizon to keep everybody hoping.

We are promised the Raicho.

There's no way that is all the models for November, because it's missing the one known model we have--the Briscard.

I think the one on the far left is a Tohaa model. Notably, the Gao-Tarsos jump trooper.

To be fair, they told me that the Corregidor Starter Box was going to be out before the end of the year.

Maybe the Raicho got hit with the shrink ray!

Most of the leg poses again seem to be "cinematic" too

I prefer models that are standing a bit more normal with both feet on the floor instead of all the awkward running & jumping.

The 5 models look as if they are from the same faction, given their base, so starter maybe?

And a haqqi model.

The bases are seemingly irrelevant, as they're just basecoated white.

Their features seem to be the same.

I'm aware.

But if you look, it looks like it is just "filler" used to fluff the bases up before detailing.
