Biggest annoyance regarding the Anaconda is that it has to be waving its sword around, while the girl totes the firearm.

Would have been nice to have another TAG utilizing its firearm instead of going for the Warmachine sword waving pose.

**Alpharius**

Anything new and/or interesting out of Gen Con for INFINITY?

**plastictrees**

For anyone that had forgotten that we'd seen the model already (like me) and because of the new page:

I don't love the model as much as the art, and would probably try to convert it a bit. But this seems like the perfect excuse to buy all the Merovingian models I like (ie: all the Merovingian models).

We saw the Seraph.

Hopefully someone with the artbook in hand starts posting images of the Gecko and Iguana so we can whine or praise it as necessary.

Still holding out hope for this - surely the GECKO and IGUANA art is out there...somewhere...right?

**Kanluwen**

It's there. People have their Art Books they just aren't sharing.

**Pacific**

Come on damn it!

Am so excited about the Gecko..

In the meantime, anyone reckon it's plausible to bend the arm of the Gecko around and move the weapon around into it's hand?

(Although I do much prefer the pilot in this one to Cordelia, even if she doesn't have the 'dat ass' pose of the artwork)

**Kanluwen**

Cordelia isn't a pilot though. She's a separate entity to Scarface and they both have to be fielded at the same time while the Anaconda Pilot is to represent the pilot having dismounted/ejected.

**Alpharius**

I can't get to the Official Forums while at work but, is there really no snap of the Gecko and/or Iguana over there yet?

**BlueDagger**

Nope nothing yet, me thinks it may not be in the book at this point.

**Kanluwen**

If the Gecko and Iguana are not in there, I am going to be highly irked.

During Infinity Week, Carlos explicitly stated "The Iguana and Gecko both are in the Art Book" after having mentioned that the Gorgos was as well.

Edit note:
I'm not going to be supermad to the point of writing hate mails, but I'll be angry ranting for maybe fifteen minutes. Twenty if I'm really angry!

I think more likely that people are busy with the Infinity Tournament and the O-12 guys are superbusy with the Battlefoam booth.

**Casey's Law**

A thought just popped into my head. Does anyone else see a nod to Independence Day with the Scarface Bootleg? If so, do you think they'll continue to do that in future bootlegs?

Also eagerly awaiting Gecko and Iguana news. Jockey(my pilot) needs more toys.

**Barzam**

Man, I'd totally forgotten about the art book. That should be shipping fairly soon. I'm a little surprised that those teaser images a few pages back haven't been revealed yet though.

The cast of Lost and Matthew McConaughey, among others say, "Yes, CB will".

**Kanluwen**

GECKO!

IGUANA!

IGUANA, GECKO, OPERATOR SIZE COMPARISON!

Thanks to Infinity O-12 for posting these on their Facebook page.

I want the Gecko. I want it RIGHT NOW.

**Absolutionis**

Hah. The tail is an awesomely nice touch.

The Draigo-style backpack belt-feed is also nice.

It's good to see a TAG that isn't just a 3-up of a generic HI.

**Kanluwen**

The tail makes me so happy.
I can paint an Iguana to look like Godzilla and feel completely justified.

**Barzam**

Damn, that Gecko is really cool. If it actually turns out to be posed like that artwork, I may have found my very first TAG purchase.

**Kanluwen**

Gecko is less of a TAG and more of a Superheavy Infantry.

That said, if it holds to what they said the Gecko is going to come in a double box.

**Barzam**

So two Geckos per box? That sounds like a good deal to me. What's that silhouette there shown to the right of it in the size comparison? I don't recognize it.

**Pacific**

Barzam - guessing it might be the Heavy Infantry guy who ejects from the Iguana when it is destroyed? One of the cool features of that TAG.

Oh my.. sorry for my language but that is one of the coolest

things I have seen for some time!

!

Can't wait to see the original of that Jotum/Iguana art..

Absolutely love the concept for the Gecko.. now to start building a space craft terrain board, complete with external vacuum area !

Sad to see the Antenociti Komodo miniature I've been using as the Iguana is completely the wrong scale..

**Savnock**

OH MY IGUANA!

Always knew that TAG was going to be special, but wow. The tail really does make it. CB is at their best when there are little flights of fancy tucked into their designs.

The Gecko is pretty cool. I hope it's relatively-easily posable/convertable for the Corregidor folks who will want to field 4 or 5 or whatever the crazy AVA is.

Geckos will play interestingly. 3 STR but barely more armor than most HI... it will be like having a whole bunch of Su-Jians running around the table. Not as fast, mind you, but about the same level of offense, and the same cost.

**Alpharius**

Nice - very nice!

Of course that Iguana in the artwork is in serious trouble, but I'm sure there's more!

The interesting thing will be maneuvering the Geckos for kills.
Taking a Blitzen Gecko for every Panzerfaust Gecko opens some intriguing avenues of "Pewpew!".

Qapu Khalqi starter pack!

These images are from Dropzone Games.

**Pacific**

Wow.. Morat starter pack, can't wait for that to arrive!

Would have liked the Qapu Khalqi to have an original mini in it or two.

**Kanluwen**

With the QK, I'm thinking that the intention is to start phasing out some SKUs from blisters.

I think it fair to have no real 'new' sculpts considering there are very few Sectorials that have 3 boxed sets(Druze, Kaplan, Odalisque) for their units and a fourth boxed set slated(Sekban)--not including Sectorial starter boxes.

Morat Aggression Force starter box is supposed to be out November/December of this year.
The MAF contents, by the way, are from left to right:
Vanguard, Vanguard, Oznat, Suryat, Raktorak, and a third Vanguard.
Weapons have not been mentioned yet.

**Alkasyn**

From elsewhere, anyone got an idea of what that is?

**Kanluwen**

Not yet. Waiting for Reddragon over at the official Infinity forums to post what it is.

That image is also from Drop Zone in MD.

**Absolutionis**

I'm so happy that Atalanta is actually Sniping and not just standing all sexy-like. With the cutesy Spotbot, I thought she was going to be yet another showgirl. I had high-expectations, low-hopes for Penthesilea as well, and she ended up amazing.

**Kanluwen**

Hopefully the Agema Marksman Sniper and Mk. 12 both go for a professional snipery pose as well, instead of the pose their HRL brother has.
