Oh hey. They reused the Aleph Sophotect Forge on that Moderator Sniper.

AJAX - really awesome mini. Just can't wait to add this brute to my army and launch 1st assault (I hope that no enemy snipers will take him dwon before he start killing). He will be great leader of fire team.


Hehe... I was sure that we will not get Raicho - it was to obvious .... I was hoping for Iguana or Gecko... yeah, I have to wait a little longer.

On the other hand I love Nomad sniper - awesome idea.

Seeing 3rd HacTao - this is big suprise and I was really hoping for something different.

All in all Ajax and moderators are the ebst in my opinion!

The moderator with the sniper is the best looking release.
So a bit underwhelming.

oh... and moderator reminds me Saito from GITS SAC, which is really cool!

Reviews:
I like Ajax. He definitely is a nasty customer.
The Briscard is nice. Definitely suggests that if we see a box the Sniper Rifle will be in there rather than the HRL.
Muyibs box is definitely a nice combination. One of everything!
Scarface & Cordelia remain unchanged and I'm still loathing the bellybutton arms.

On to the new stuff!
Hac Tao with HMG is gorgeous. Definitely makes you think of a heavily armored, hardcore goon.
The Moderator with the MULTI Sniper Rifle is (forgive me here, Alpharius ) absolutely gorgeous! He looks professional while getting across that he is a Moderator. The fact that he is based with part of the ALEPH Sophotect is a fun touch which I really like. Gonna be picking this guy up when he comes out to use as a SpecOps.
Hatail Spec-Ops is nice. Not sure how I feel about him wearing what looks like a biker jacket over his armor, but the hooded and helmeted head is nice.

I was JUST about to say that.

I really like the Tohaa Spec Ops model, it's got a real badass feel to it.

I like the HacTao too, I can't get enough of those guys. From fluff to crunch to sculpting, they always look cool.

I just wish Yu-Jing didn't have the dumbest looking HMG's in the game.

They said that the Raicho is coming in November. If he is not, people are going to absolutely riot.

The Iguana is supposed to be done as well.

The Gecko was, as of GenCon, not even at the concept art stage. So it will be awhile yet.

@Kanluwen - thanks for info about Nomads... I guess that I understand people waiting for Raicho very well... I was also waiting for it, but with HS I joined bastards from Corregidor and I am waiting for Iguana and Gecko like others I waiting for Raicho.


Anyway, I do not belive that we will see 2nd TAG in November.... so, we will have Morat riot soon

Did they officially say the Raicho was due in november? Wasn't that just speculation based on the teasers?
Did I miss something?

I'm kind of looking at both Corregidor and Bakunin. I think I can manage a Bakunin force with absolutely none of the "weird" stuff I dislike (Reverend Moiras, I'm looking at you).

They said at GenCon that "In November, we expect people to start sending us pictures of you with your Raichos".

Raicho?


Great releases, of notable mention is the Hac Tao, does this mean we will get a multi rifle Swiss guard finally soon? and the Moderator who is taking aim from an Alephs Sophotects Mother Forge, looks like that Sophotect sold her life and failed. The Tohaa Spec Ops looks great as it was to be expected from Spec Ops.

But seriously were is that Raicho?

Huh. They sort of dropped the ball then, didn't they. What a shame.

I had unjustified and insatiable hopes for more than one Aleph release this month, but this way I might be able to catch up a little.
The moderator is really cool, so is the Specop.

As someone mentioned, there was an issue with the boxing of the Wu Ming which pushed it back.

It could suggest that the Corregidor box and Raicho are coming out next month rather than this month because of it. I just wish they would actually say something about it, considering the Raicho has been missing since the core rulebook and Corregidor are one of just two Sectorials(NeoTerra can't really be given a starter box given the Auxilia's status as the "basic" troop choice and the QK force is basically the Haqqislam starter box minus the sniper model. So it leaves just the Morat Aggression Force and Corregidor) without a starter box which could actually have one.

The meme has changed BBB it is no longer sadpanda. It is now sad raicho.

Not bad, but I sort of feel let down mainly because we have seen most of the miniatures already. The moderator is a nice surprise, but I don't play Nomads. For me the winner would be Ajax, he looks so boss it's not even funny.

I do feel bad for Alpharius, no Raicho on Thanksgiving makes me wonder if his head has exploded!

PS: I like the Tohaa spec op!

Where has Alpharius gone??!! ALPHARIUS ?!?!? Has anyone seen him?!?

Only kidding mate, is there any chance that the Raicho will come now before xmas?!

Other than this though have to say again what a stunning line up of releases. The Tohaa Spec ops is probably one of my favourite Spec Ops so far, the Moderator sniper an example of how terrain can work with a miniature, and the HMG just looks dangerous!

Alph is probably spending time with his family.

I'll rage for him though.

WHAT?! NO RAICHO?!

REVOLT! REVOLT! REVOLT!

NOVEMBER SHOULD BE RAICHOVEMBER! Argh!

Well... what can I say... Production has its own complexities that goes beyond what we can consider "cool", "gamewise", "Haqqislam humanitarian behaviour"...

After these months when we released 6 products/15 miniatures in October and now 7 products/11 miniatures in November the production staff is working at their 100%
The Raicho casted and assembled metal miniature is now in the skillfull hands of Angel Giraldez so, I dare to say that this miniature will be next December's big thing among other cool miniatures.

But... not all the Infinity players are CA/Morat players... there's lot of stuff to do, lots of troop gaps to fill...

Have a nice day, you USAriadnans.

So it won't be available in the US by Christmas.

It hadn't previously clicked that Ajax was on a bigger base... he really is a monster!

Glad too that Ajax is as big as expected. Also: poor seed boys

- Salvage

Wow not what i expected logging in! I love that hac tao!

Remember, remember this Raicho free november.

Didn't the HRL Muyib just come out recently? Doesn't that make it weird that it's immediately in the Muyib boxed set?
I own the DEP blister so it doesn't make any sense for me to buy this instead of the Spitfire + buddy and HRL blister.
A bit boring.

No chance of a before Christmas Raicho now, if it isn't in November's releases.

Which apparently it isn't.

Thanks for filling in from me Kan (I was spending time with the family!), and thanks for the update - December it is!

Or, well, January 2013 it is!

You're welcome, Alphy.

I always love an excuse to be a Rage Temp.

Yes, Yes, Yes Ajax is a TAG, look at the size of that monster.

One thing that bugs me about the moderator is that his weapon... is a combi rifle with a extended pipe. Surely snipers are more special than that...

I'm sad now. All Haqq got was a repackage of the Muyibs, which is also missing a fig.

That "missing fig" is going to be available only through the Hassassin Bahram boxed set starting February.

Roll on December!



I suppose we should have expected something like this, given that Angel keeps asking for more 'likes' on his FB page, and given the overall history of this model!
