I appreciate the shot, but... I like my previews without plastic wrapping, and in focus too, if possible!

I'm inclined to agree, but I think this was Angel just "confirming" the speculation. Right now he is finishing the Gorgos insignia and decided to use that as a way to say "You guys who guessed Gorgos are right!"

Frankly I am surprised by the Gorgos coming out before the Tikbalang or Seraph.

**Alpharius**

I'm hoping I hate it as that's the model that will pretty much determine whether or not I collect Tohaa...

...but I love T.A.G.s.

...I think I'm in trouble!

**PsychoticStorm**

Gorgos makes much sense right now.

Also hey, at least its not a white blob.

**Pacific**

Hmmmm, isn't there an 'un-plastic-bag' tool on the latest photoshop? Will have to have a look

Was hoping the Tikbalang would come along at some point, simply because it has the best name of any miniature in the Infinity range..

**RiTides**

More Tohaa, sweet

. Just got my Gao-Tarsos with HMG in yesterday, so I can finally get my list built!

**kilcin**

So much Infinity to work on, not enough time to do it all.

I dunno, that "plastic wrap" shot made me nostalgic for '80s porn.

TMI?

I'm not sure, but I think you've just disqualified yourself from crossing the US-Canada border.

At least if the news is any indication.

**Barzam**

Was the Gorgos supposed to carry a spear? I definitely see a spear underneath the plastic wrap.

**Kanluwen**

Given that it's a TAG, there is a 50/50 chance it will be wielding a melee weapon just because.

Or Corvus Belli went a bit too literal with the "Flammenspeer" that the Gorgos is armed with.

**PsychoticStorm**

The tournament scene looks fantastic!

The Flammenspeer is basically a heavy bolter (large calibre self propelled ammunition) with a napalm warhead (large template fire damage). It's not an actual spear.

While the Gorgos art looks a lot like the Ectros, I'd say the spear points to that being the final Ectros profile with a Vulkan Shotgun.

edit - scratch that, Kanluwen is saying it's the Gorgos. Which probably, as he said, is armed with a melee weapon just because, like the Ectros are armed with giant ass spears even though they have standard CCWs.

**warboss**

Month 4 post Gecko concept art and still no gecko... I'm starting to see little lizards sticking their butts out like Infinity models everywhere I go... and my throat is parched... I don't know how much longer I can hold out without TAG...

**Pacific**

Me too.. think everyone is waiting for the Gecko!

Wayland Games have just put out an advert for the first of the Dire Foes releases, release date 16th December (so just about before Xmas! One has already gone on my Xmas list

)

£23.39, they're also offering free delivery if you pre-order (dire foes, and the new Infinity releases for this month).

http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/corvus-belli/infinity/dire-foes-mission-pack-4-flee-or-die/prod_24270.html

**Kanluwen**

Bear in mind that the Gorgos releasing now is because of the recent nature of the Tohaa introduction to the game.

Most TAGs take a longer time to go from concept to release. Latest information I had about the Gecko pegs them as a late 2014, early 2015 release. Format is a double box--one of each of the Gecko profiles.

**Knight**

The new Dire Foes are up, with new fluff blurb.

INDIGO BROTHER KONSTANTINOS

Konstantinos was a lunar roverplane pilot but also a thrill seeker, a weakness of behavior that caused his girlfriend’s dead. Once enlisted as an Order Sergeant, Konstantinos worked fervently to excel within his unit and earn points with which to obtain a Resurrection permit for Niki and clear his conscience. However, deep down, Konstantinos was still the same thrill seeker, who survived hellish situations simply because he felt comfortable in them. This internal ease was what piqued the interest of the Special Operations Command, who recruited him for its Indigo unit. That is how Konstantinos became a special agent, a reliably ruthless first-rate hunter in the service of God and PanOceania. He knows this is the only way to make restitution and regain the love of his life. It is the right thing to do, and he will do it no matter the cost.

HASSASSIN HUSAM YASBIR

The subject of your attention, the Husam known as Yasbir, plays a prominent part in the spurious history-slash-mythos of the Hassassin Society. A killer, a teacher, a philosopher, a counselor… Do not let any of these identities distract you from the one reality about Yasbir we can unmistakably confirm: that he is a Husam, a special agent of the Hassassin Society. Tracking him down is nigh impossible. No amount of effort will put you within striking distance of him. It will be he who approaches you but, by the time you realize something is wrong, his blade will be lodged between your ribs.

**Barzam**

So, an adrenaline junky versus a ninja.

**Kanluwen**

They really should stop using Google translations. It immediately shows in the Konstantinos description.

I really like Hasht's description though.

SHASVASTII CORAX HASHT

My subject-identifier is Hasht. I belong to the sequential brood 6/529. Along with my siblings, I was bred as a soldier and protector of my race. I was conditioned to be the perfect guardian of the Shaviish—the SpawnEmbryo reserve-hatchery—for the Aerota star cluster. When the Shaviish was destroyed by the Tohaa, I was left with no other motivation but vengeance. I requested a transfer to the Corash unit, so I could choose to be posted where I would hurt the Tohaa the most. My goal was to fulfill the duty for which I had been bred. I was still a soldier protecting my race, only in a more proactive, hostile way. I am a Corash. I am inevitable. There is no escaping me.

**Barzam**

Have we had much fluff from the Shasvastii's perspective yet? I think that's the first bit of it I've read. It does make him sound kind of cool.

**kilcin**

It does indeed; can't wait to get x-mas money to get all the boxes...

It does yes, very 'alien' sounding. I quite like the Morat stuff as well actually, reminds me a lot of the Jem'Hadar from Star Trek: DS9, with the way that they sound like proper professional soldiers who live and breathe for war, but are ultra pragmatic about it at the same time - in fact the whole interaction between the Morat and the EI makes me think that whoever wrote the background must have almost certainly been a fan

Come quickly Morat starter !!

**PsychoticStorm**

Shasvastii is one of the best written alien backgrounds for me so far, they are close enouph to understanding them, yet they have that "one step away" that places them in the zone that they seem strange and inhuman.

**Kanluwen**

The new ITS 4 winner model.

Not a fan of "tournament winner exclusives", but it's not a bad model from the render.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Darn. I'd buy that...

**Casey's Law**

Yeh nice model!

**Alpharius**

1) I love it!

2) I want it!

3) I can't even find someone to have a casual/fun game of Infinity with, never mind a tournament!

4) I probably (definitely!) wouldn't win a tournament anyway!

5) Chances of ever owning that model - nil. I am sad...

**Kanluwen**

Bear in mind that you can buy the tournament packs yourself, currently, and get the ones with the models.

It's a bit cheeky but whatever. If you want the model then go for it.

**Alpharius**

Kan to the rescue - I might have to do that, especially if I can drum up enough local interest to the point where we can have a tournament!

Where do I order them from - direct on CB's website?

**Kanluwen**

Here is a link to the tournament pack for the current ITS season

There are different "levels" of the tournament packs and it looks like only the 39.95 Euro one includes the tournament model.
