Loving them.

They really look like they could go toe to toe with a Makaul.

Those are very nice indeed

Very, very nice!

Look like they totally warrant the stats they have as CC bad-asses.

Quite like the red-coloured skin as well, the new CA look much more alien than before.

They look awesome! What with them and the morat starter, could see me doing morals as army number 3, and considering I've only just started infinity that's not bad going haha

Not sure how newsies this is but Antenociti's Workshop just posted this on their facebook.


"Clear cast Cutter for my PanOceania team.. base needs painting yet"


They havent mentioned if it was going to be publicly available or just for them.

Regardless, makes for an awesome TO Marker, or base for a Cutter that is halfway to a TO state.

Are those antenociti bases or micro art or otherwise?

They're a Micro Arts base.

The Daturazi look badass. Still not starting a third faction CB. You can't make me.

Ohdear, that's really a must have if it ever gets released...

Damit, I'm going to accidentally end up with a morat army at this rate. All the new stuff is amazing and I'm getting it just to paint but if this keeps up I'll have enough to field an army...

I think thats a good thing.

Starter, dats box and maybe a yaogat team? That's comfortably 300pts there - with variety (not the first one I'd go for but certainly competitive and fun.)

If I bit the bullet and went with it, it would be Starter, Datz, Hungries.

I can't help but think you guys are trolling with units called 'yoghurt' and 'hungries'

I know you're not, but still...

Using wysiwig profiles, you'd be 34 points short of 300
Fraid you'd need another blister.

Well yeah, I wasn't talking about making a 300pt list, just what I'd buy to start. If I wanted to make a 300pt list, I'd work a Raicho in there.

Hungries are great fun - but yaogat/dat shenanigans are too good to pass up on
I see hungries more as the next purchase after that, with a raicho, and perhaps some EI support thrown in.
Hungries put on the pressure, but they lack punch. Especially at range. Yaogat bring that.

Matter of taste, though

And that's what's so great about this game. I really wish the new influx of people understood it.

Careful, your snob is showing.


Those new Morats are badass. Definitely in the running for my second faction.

Excuse me?

I do so hope those Daturazi are on 25mm bases. XD They certainly have the proper 'murder monkey' look. The skin still... something off about how it is painted. Perhaps the shade of red, or the white tattooing? (that is tattoing?)

Careful, your snob is showing.

Don't confuse grognard with snob, please. We grognards look down on snobs. True.

I'm still unchanged on my original opinion: just like the new starter these new morats/daturazi are superior in every technical sense regarding sculpting and detail, but I much prefer the original Morats' style. They used to look like alien soldiers in padded hi-tech armor, now they look like murder-apes in bulky armor and now no-armor. Murder-apes are cool, but they are secondary to alien soldiers. Gonna have to pick up the old ones while they're still around. Enjoy your murder-apes, but I'm gonna go make pew-pew noises with my alien-soldier-toys now.

See I'm the opposite. The old Morats were pretty poorly sculpted. The sculpts are what put me off them originally. The fluff painted them as a violent martial race - as someone I can't remember said, Klingons without their overriding sense of honour.

The sculpts, however, were goofy jack-o-lantern headed humans. The new models exude power and aggressiveness. The new Sogorat, for example, I can see standing in the open with his Fauerbach, shrugging off incoming shots (as befits his ARM 6, 2 wounds and automedkit), while tearing down entire buildings with his enormous cannon. The old Daturazi were just Vanguard with axes, the new models look like Morats bred and trained for hand to hand fighting. If you asked one 'do you even lift?' he'd lift you over his head and tear you in half.

While the older sculpts had 'character', it wasn't reflecting the fluff in the slightest.

...they have kneepads - that's armour

I hope beyond hope that the TO Cutter is released - it's brilliant!

Agree with this completely.

Looking forward to new Hungries if they are released, at present I'm planning on using the 'hunting dogs' from the AvP game, although it may be a while until those come along.

These new Morat are predominately martial with no art. Simply too brutish to catch any of my interest.

I didn't say martial art - I said a violent martial race. As in a violent warlike race. Brutish and violent is how they're portrayed, not flying roundhouse kicking violent. While Daturazi have MAl4, that doesn't have to to mean they know karate, it just represents that they're really, really, really good at hand to hand. They can accomplish the same thing without being king fu masters.

They look fantastic if you ask me, although I would not object a bit more armour but they tie up with Oznat in aesthetic.

I was agreeing with you while simultaneously explaining why I have no interest. Though please do not think I would have liked them any better in over romanticised eastern stances.

The current hungries are the 'new' hungries; the old ones were 40mmbased, even pricier and hideous.
What's wrong with the current ones? (And fwiw, I'm planning on using aliens for - more - hungries as well - more than eight is prohibitively expensive as it stands )
