Female intruder sniper coming by the end of the year.
Iguana and Gekos share design, both will be in the artbook.
Those are two excellent pieces of news!
I particularly cannot wait to see the Iguana and Gecko concepts...
Just please Corvus Belli. Heed my statement on this...
Do not make the "female Intruder Sniper" look like the female Wildcat with Heavy Rocket Launcher or the female Hellcat with Assault Rifle.
Make her look badass, but do not go over the top with silliness.

You have forgotten " Iguana release this year and Gekos at some point over the next year".
Which is cool because means we can take for granted the release of another pair of TAGs this year. We know the Anaconda will be available as a general release at the end of the year, probably November like happened last year with Scarface. We also know July is a Bootleg month. Which leaves us with August, September and October. I bet the Iguana will be released in September.

Gekos by the end of next year would be great. 2015 we be my Nomad T.A.G. rush year, switching between 4 Gekos or 2 Gekos and a Iguana. It will be a change in style from my Lizard sitting back and dropping targeted grenades on the enemy from the other side of the field.
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.
Some other interesting titbits from the Nomad video..
- I liked the bit about all of the forces being designed (in concept and execution) by different people, to prevent the same styles being used for all of the forces.
- Carlos said about there used to being so many antennae on the miniatures, a lot less these days. They will either be part of the head or else bigger and with a cleaner fit in the miniature (so less gluing of fingers together trying to attach them!) Hope they don't get rid of the Appleseed-style Pan O Antennae though..
The Riot grrl miniatures have really grown on me as well after watching that vid, the design art for them is bloody awesome..
Can't wait to meet anyone that's able to make it out

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!
We'll be playing Infinity (modified) with ~6ft tall versions of the concept art of models and rolling MASSIVE D20s
EDIT: Even the CB staff thought this one was awesome lol.

And I would love to get that Angel Giraldez-painted Penthesilia - if the winner of the tournament was so inclined I'm sure that would go for big money on ebay..
Absolutely love the art style.. saw loads of these in the folder that the CB guys were carting around at tabletop nation last year, will be interesting to see which ones make it into the art book!
In the previous videos we have seen artwork that we have seen before and was rejected as not too good for the artbook, the artwork on the mercs video is artwork that will be in the book.
I think with the concept style art (the one showing front and rear, used by the sculptor) a lot of it is probably going to be pretty subjective, in that the art is all pretty good and really will just come down to whether you like the style of one trooper over another. I'm quite looking forward to seeing what is in there in terms of paintings, digital art and the like (like the stuff in Paradiso).
From the Haqq video Carlos made it sound like the Sekban box hadn't been made yet, so perhaps it might be some time?
On a side note, isn't it sad that they have to hold their hands up and say "please be clear.. this is fiction" .. Perhaps they have to in case some half-wit misunderstands and takes offence..
