Also, no worries that it wasn't going to be sufficiently badass or awesome!
Can I buy one RIGHT NOW PLEASE?!?
You know the rule, get your camera and duck face ready.
Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.

And this is how you make intriguing lists with internal and external balance.
That's why I liked it. I found that very interesting. I didn't know Carlos didn't play war games before Infinity too! He did RPG's.
In this one Carlos talks about how much Infinity has grown in the US and the company in general.
The Raicho looks awesome! I might have to get that guy for my CA. So far I have only used a Sphinx and only once.
So....... where exactly does the pilot leave his legs
The artwork shows it with a big enough codpiece to maybe/probably fit in the pilot's legs, but the actual model's codpiece doesn't seem to be big enough.
Or is the pilot hanging upside down with his legs in the torso... ?

In our clamor for the raicho, is this what we have become? Codpiece obsessed madmen?

In this case it's more about legs than codpiece

wow!!!! After last TAGs on tiny legs I wasn't so much excited.... but this one ROCKS!!!!! Awesome miniature. I guess my monkeys have now new deadly toy.... I want it really FAST!!!
Wait, Raicho is a combined army TAG? why would an alien faction produce a TAG that follows the human design ascetic, down to the pilot arms sticking out?
on a more minor pet peeve, why are alien languages always japanese + gibberish?

Well to be fair, Raicho is the only Combined TAG that is close to human design and aesthetics and Morats are not the most advanced of the alien raises that CA has, they are more advanced to humans, but not that much more advanced.
Now, I do not think Morats language is Japanese, it has a similar aesthetic and I can assume its for the same reason why Japanese use Greek letters (usually only lowercase) in their sci fi writings, because it looks "alien" in their eyes.

Only he didn't put amputees in the drivers seat.
I like the model. It's posed a bit awkwardly, and the gun has a serious issue of BFG, but it's a very solid design that's going to be easy to fix with a saw and a bit of GS.
The sausage hands have to go though...

Many of the aliens have human names because what is known about them is from human PoV as well as being unpronounceable. Some don't even use sound as a way to communicate.
