That face is incredibly well done!

That face is the face of resignation.

That's a line that could launch a thousand ships.

Is this guy leaking some new info or are these just rumours?

Doremicom has a pretty good relationship with Corvus Belli and he runs tournaments pretty regularly so he might have new info that they fed to him.

All I get from the video is, Max is final be getting his resculpt for non-ITS winners. Oh... and a ELO ranking system.

Elo system, small letters are used as it is named after Arpad Elo. Many games modify the system and use it as a basis for matchmaking. I do hope the negativity that follows in the public Elo ranking system does not creep into Infinity players.

More emphasis on a specific specialists and spec ops. Perhaps not so surprising, shortly before the Paradiso release I can recall an interview where Mr. Carlos was saying something in the line of: "Infinity has beautiful miniatures and we at Corvus want to give the collectors a chance to use them all". Though the (Paradiso) scenarios do shuffle the normal lists and change the feeling of the game, I didn't enjoy them. Certain armies have no problems of fielding any kind of specialists. Of course these are only first thoughts, looking forward on hearing more.

Konstantinos:

As much as I'm not too much of a fan of Konstantinos's and Yasbir's overly dramatic posing, I think they would look amazing when placed next to one another in a diorama.
Sort of like this:

Corax Hasht:



Hatail Aelis:



Konstantinos:

Wow x 3 !!

These miniatures look excellent. Think the dramatic posing suits them in the sense that these guys are meant to be heroes, not red-shirts (so to speak)

But the important point - PsychoticStorm, what do you think?

Absolutely stunning, particularly Kon. Must haves.

I'm not a betting man, but even i'd put money on him quite liking it!

okay i'm starting an new tohaa army ATM !!!
Slaanesh is in tohaa race <3

Definitely getting the Yasbir box from my LGS, the civilians I'll have to get from Shae when I order the Tohaa spec

Love the Hatail. Especially the longer bits on the head like hair. That was in the art book and I was disappointed they didn't use it.

So Ko Dali wears Shasvastii armour? interesting.

I really love Konstantinos sculpt, no surprise for that, now I really cannot wait to get my hands on that box

Actually PsychoticStorm, of all of them so far think they have made yours look the most bad-ass.

Although, would argue that the Hatail Aelis is somewhat more sexy

The Konstantinos model is making me rethink buying the set. And not in the good way. I really do not mind the pose but the detail on the arms look too much like muscle and I do not like muscle on armoured models.

I need to own all of the wave 2 Dire Foes.

Yasbir looks cool. Konstantinos looks cool. Aelis looks cool. Hasht looks cool. Must own!

And something that's bugged me about the Tohaa gear, what's the point of those ammo belts running into their arms? Do they have weapons built into their arm armor?

They are not ammo belts. It seems to be a containment system of some sort for symbiotic armor on the Ektros and Hatails, but as of right now I do not think there has been an explanation as to what precisely they are.

I'm guessing it has to be something to do with the symbiote armour - the Tohaa concept is one of organic machinery and devices, and of blurred lines between the two, having the ammunition feeding into their armour I think falls under the same kind of idea.

That video was very cool, would love to see some high res photo of all of the Dire Foes miniatures arranged together like that..

It's not Armour, its Fibermuscle.

Its still muscle.

Though i have had time to mull over the model, I just hope not all the arms are pure muscle. I still plan to buy the set with yasbir.

Also are those armour plates on the upper arm?

Just a screen cap from one of the videos showing all the new models. Helps me decide what I buy.

It is still muscle because it is muscle, fibermuscles are muscles and their purpose is to augment the user with additional strength.

Morat starter will see the HI on a large base

What implications would this have for current HI?

My recently glued-on-base Sogarat wants to know.

It looks like it! Also, you can't argue with PsychoticStorm about that topic as the miniature is him!

The equivalent of this:

It shouldn't make any difference, unless something has changed in the new tournament rules. As long as the mini is on the base it was supplied with its good. I still have the old pretas on 40mm bases and all of my sapper models are mounted on 25mm bases because thats what they came with.

Your Sogarat should be fine, but bear in mind that the Morat look that they will be getting the Corregidor treatment(a revamp of the range). I would not be surprised to see Sogarat given a larger base size similar to Ajax and bulkier models.
