To be honest, I didn't expect this, but as is usually with CB Chaksas look better than what I imagined.

So, lets enjoy the eye candy, shall we?

Doamru Takeshi oyama




Scots Guards




Haqqislam Support Pack




Kirpal Singh




Chaksa Auxiliars




Outstanding bunch of releases if you ask me.

I have no idea what those Tohaa things are, but they look amazing!

Are the rules for them any good?

And I love the Doamru Takeshi oyama (copy + paste again for that name! ), stupendous amount of detail and hard to believe that is only 28mm.

lol the only problem with the Chaksa (Tohaa models) is they look waaaay more badass then they really are. They are light infantry equivalents of baggage remotes on other factions.

Heavy Flamer Thrower + Baggage + Sensor
or
HMG + 360 visor + Neurokinetics (ghetto total reaction)
or
Guided Heavy Rocket Launcher

That said, effing epic looking. Hands down my favorite Tohaa models. I'd LOVE to see a Chaksa sectorial.

In a sense, they're the Tohaa analogue of the general Remotes that other factions get. There is a Baggage one, a 360 HMG one, a GML one, and one that doesn't really do anything but be cheap. The only difference is that these aren't remotes, so you don't have to take a hacker.

Hathail Spec-Op, Gao Rael, Makaul, Gao Tarsos...



The Tohaa have been getting the jewel of the month since the army begun with the Paradiso book.
You can love/hate their looks, but the level of these miniatures is over the top.

I just found out what I really really like about Neko...his bad ass pose





Taken from my favourite character from Rurouni Kenshin =)

Ah! Saito Hajime!

And a japanese man would live down having a nickname like Neko? I don't believe it.

No love for the scots guards finally getting their first miniature? It looks awesome! I wonder if it is meant to be 1st or 2nd batallion, or if it is up to the player

It was spoiled a month or so ago, so everyone's over it now. Next!

I think someone mentioned that there would be minis for camo and non-camo versions? Might have just been speculation.

I think that the Scot Guards with the cammo coat is supposed to represnet the 2nd Batallion, and the miniatures without coat will be the 1st Batallion version. I think that is the way they are going to do it.
I've read some rumours about a multipart box with both mixed versions. So I guess that will mean a 2 non-coat and 2 cammo coat versions.

Nice I'm wondering if the Chaksas will be able to swap parts between them for custom builds

I love the mini, but the design of the ML hasn't aged nicely for my taste. It would have been a good moment for a change. About the Battalions, I read too that there might be different versions.

Ive heard from my buddy, an ex EOD bomb disposal, that guided rocket is an oxymoron. Missiles are guided but rockets are aimed by sight. Learn something new evey day lol.

Again, Ghulam doc looks amazing, and I want that engineer. Unfortunately, since I have the old doc and 2 has ate already ill have to pass on the engineer unless I find someone selling it separately.

Tohaa are starting to grow on me... I'm on the fence with them but the Chaksas are helping tip things.

whats the story on Chaksas anyway?

for the points are they worth bringing?

They are essentially like remotes for other armies. The thing that throws people off is that they look bulky and armored but they have ARM0 and PH of only 12.
They even have Courage and no Cube which remotes have the same thing through Remote Presence. Fortunately they don't need a hacker to take them. Unfortunately they are not as fast.

CHAKSA AUXILIAR (Baggage, Sensor) Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, CCW. (10)
CHAKSA AUXILIAR (Neurocinetics, 360º Visor) HMG / Pistol, CCW. (1 | 25)
CHAKSA AUXILIAR Guided Heavy Rocket Launcher / Pistol, CCW. (1 | 29)

On the plus side they cannot be hacked and they can dodge.

Their base is smaller too so they can get through some terrain easier.

True and since you mentioned terrain they have LI mobility and not REM mobility.

Those Chaksa, confirmed Tohaa as my 4th faction! Gods curse aliens, gods curse them all....

Also I can imagine them making some kind of cow moo/bantha style sound, which Remotes don't do!

They seem great for the price and SWC for sure. Even as just order monkeys. It's too bad there's only two FO's in the army for the Guided Rockets.

Alan? what are you doing with that gun Alan?

Hrmm. Not a fan. Something about it seems off.

Also, um, does that HMG have a Viral clip? Viral HMG... *shuders*

New nomads HMG.

Maybe it's the paint job, but he seems to lack any sort of confidence in that pose. He looks an actor that picked up a gun for the first time and is posing for a picture. Who "authorized" this guy? The Nomads?

Overall, though, it's still a great model of the quality we expect from CB.

Do we know if he's being released like the Spec Ops? With alt heads and weapons?

Veeeeeeeeeeeeery doubtful that he would be, seeing as how he's a tournament prize and not an actual model.

Stupid bloody tournament prize garbage. Blah.
