Anyone remember the rumors a while back where the 'Mercenaries' were supposedly going to get a non-generic sectorial in Book 4? A very far-off rumor, but I recall it the name being mentioned around when the "Steel Phalanx" name was first revealed.

EDIT: Found it. Rumor is the Mercs will get an ITS-legal sectorial called "White Stars" rather than being a full faction.
EDIT2: Fixed to "White Stars", thanks Kan. I got them mixed up with the Whitemarines.

"White Stars", not "White Scars".

You can already see some units like Scarface with the insignia on their boxes.

Its not a rumor, but a confirmed fact, though the book will not be "all about mercs" just include a merc sectorial, not sure if two.

Found the symbol. Thanks Kan. I guess searching the internet for "White Scars" didn't get what I wanted.

Noooooo why can't I see that pic on the last page? :(

What did I dooooo ?

I wonder if the merc faction will let you take bits and pieces from other factions, such as the Djanbazan fighting alongside KTS and the like (you can imagine such a thing happening going on the background descriptions)?

LOL I didn't realize of this until someone posted it in the Spanish Official forum. Max Skorpio, Max Scorpio... it's



!!!!

They have revealed the Concept Design.

Way cool! It looks like mostly new designs on the weapons too. I wonder if he will come with extra?

They're not that new, if you look at the Reverend Moiras...



In any case: I will have you, Max Skorpio!

The scorpion should be on the back of his jacket.

1,2,3,4,6,7,5 - I love it!

...awkward!

Another note that has apparently come up:

There will be an "exclusive" model for the winner of tournaments.

On facebook it's said this Max Scorpio figure will be the one going to the tournament winner :(

*cracks knuckles*

Time to get them to reconsider that.

That is... sad news...

It's so bloody asinine at this point.

"Let's release an awesome model!"
"No, we have to make it a limited edition!"
"Why stop there? Make it so you have to win a tournament to get it!"

Stop dicking around, CB. Finish releasing the profiles that actually need to be released before you start doing limited editions.

Guys, chill out. It might be like Scarface and Cordelia: available early to those who won. No use having a LE character if only a handful of people in this world can use them in ITS.

Except for the fact that these aren't going to be actual characters, if the wording that CB is using is correct.

They're going to be an "Authorized Bounty Hunter" generic profile with multiple models made available.
At least that is what CB gave for Magabotato in terms of information.

I must say I need to apologize, I can be abrasive with my opinions and maybe the way I approach things could use some refinement. I’m working on it. Sometimes I go too far and my devil’s advocate side wins out far too much.

I don’t intentionally mean to disrespect other board members and I’m pretty defensive when I shouldn’t be.
This Topic is one of my favorites as is infinity and I’d hate to be “That Guy”

Internet decorum is something I need to work on as the written word can be taken the wrong way.
If I offended any of you guys I’m sorry. I would’ve never posted something like that on the infinity forums and I shouldn’t have posted it here.

I hope this comes across the right way. It took a lot to post this.

5Deadly/Lord Shiva S.S.S.

It does come across the right way - and thank you for posting it!

Thanks 5deadly. It is appreciated.

I hope Scorpio will be and early release to winners instead of a limited edition. It would have to be a VERY limited release because how many tourney winners are there in a year? Not enough to make it worth it I think.

A resculpt of the ORCs would be Awwweessooooommme.

I have 2 of the Multirifles and converting them is kinda tough. God I wish they did plastic boxsets like malifaux... extra arm, gun n head never hurt anyone.

I think that CB will release Skorpio as an available miniature for everyone when the new ITS season ends.

By the way... I think I might do a conversion with my Skorpio and put a hammer[u] in one of his hands.

Because you know... sometimes a miniature talks to you like...

I'll believe it when I see it.

Especially because they specifically stated that he would be an "exclusive", not just "limited numbers".

It may be an error in Translation from German? Maybe?

It wouldn't be unreasonable to give Tournament Winners a free Scorpio and then make it available to the population to purchase a half-year down the line.

As an aside, "Max Scorpio" sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon hero. It hit me when Kanluwen said, "I will have you, Max Scorpio" just like a cartoon villain.

From Infinity Facebook:

Megabotato says:

Season 4 for Infinity Tournament System and authorized Bounty Hunter
Suitable to our Infinity month we can get hold of a small Sneak:
This Friday, the "Tournament system season 4" Infinity is scheduled for the game, which will not be new missions and rules of a specific figure for the winners of the tournaments.

This will be Max Skorpio.
An authorized bounty hunters, but which have no hero profile, but a generic profile of the new "Authorized Bounty Hunters."
These profiles are the new - free-Infinity Army list maker, which the next day to go online , and appear to be integrated into it.

Corvus Belli will publish later this year a number of "Authorized Bounty Hunters".

Well, we never got the limited Yuan Yuan as a general release, same with Go Go Marlene, so this model might indeed be very limited.

I fail, the Simpsons guy was Hank Scorpio, not Max Scorpio >_<

-1 internetz for me.

Interesting thing to note:
Look at the "Mercenaries" section on the Infinity website now.

Notice anything different?
1) The "MERCS" icon is gone. It is now the Haqqislam icon. The background of the text blurb as well is the same color as Haqqislam.
2) Bashi Bazouks are now in the Mercenaries section.
3) Kempeitai are now in the Mercenaries section as well.

Was that a reference to Devil Team's army builder getting an updated release within a day or so?!?
