It's those sliding doors which really sell it for me.

I wonder if they're coming out with a set of graphics transfers for the graffiti?

Ooooohhh.. Remote type thing on the left? TAG with a massive tail or else a big sword?

I'm not sure, sometimes he paints random white zones to confuse us...

I think that "Anaconda Mercenary T.A.G. Squadron" graphic is a bit of a hint...

Forget the "Squadron" part, as it doesn't mean that. All Nomad TAGs have the "Squadron" part added to their units names by conventionalism:

"Szlamander" Squadron
"Iguana" Squadron
"Gecko" Squadron"

The only hint here is that maybe the Anaconda works in a Nomad sectorial.

LOL yes it is, but I was talking about the details of the mini like is it having a sword? a tail?

Ugh.

I know - I'm saying it is 'clearly' a Mercenary T.A.G.

Maybe.

And yeah, sorry Erasoketa - I don't know if that's a sword, a tail or a deliberate misdirection!

It might be a deliberate misdirection. According to words from someone in the spanish forum:

" I don't remenber the Anaconda having a tail, that's either the Iguana or Angel is trolling us. "

Maybe it's a sword and a scabbard.

Ha!

That almost certainly makes it the Iguana, doesn't it?

They do have a bit of a fondness for ammo feeds though.

I don't understand why they are coming out with this when there's the Geko and many other TAGs to come out with.

The Iguana has been on the 'to do' list for a long time now...

Probably because the Gecko has not even been concepted, but the Iguana has been missing just as long as most of the other T.A.G.s

Carlos is on BoW talking about the Reverend Morias at 12:20. I'm sure there will be more with him. I thought it was interesting about he CG designs not always working when sculpted.

I'd love if developers made this kind of videos for all their releases. It combines the review of the product with a lot of visual information and some great information on the different processes.

The week GW released the new DE with one video each day was nerdgasmic to me

Angel is such a tease!

I think it definitely has those little 'chest arms' which seem to be so divisive in terms of what people think of them.

Re. the Gecko, I think people are looking forward to that one so much because (like the Raicho) it sounds so cool in the background, and it being a 'light TAG' makes it a bit different to what we have seen so far.

Chest arms are definitely divisive, they make sense, personally I do not like them, but can tolerate them, if people do not tolerate them omitting them is an easy modification work.

Yeh I'm not a fan so I leave them off and cover the gap. It's so simple that it shouldn't interfere with anyone's decision on whether they like a miniature.

Anaconda Squad Concept Artwork leaked by Beasts of War.

Looks fantastic!

Hmm Spitfire for pilot should we assume ejection seat?

Wow.. can imagine that thing going toe-to-toe with a Marut!

Which one would win?

What kind of question is that ? Of course, the Marut would win! It's a Marut. That thing is not a Marut, ergo it can only lose against a Marut.

And, for the first time ever, in any game, I'm tempted to go against my long standing hatred of mercenaries and build a force of mercenaries.

I on the other hand would love to see a true merc force (or more) and finally see the merc rules phased out.

Is it so terrible to make a single piloted TAG without the dumb stomach arms?

Without the stomach arms you would reguire a pretty giant round pot-belly to give the arms full range of motion inside the armor.

To be fair it already has a fairly big pot-belly.
