I've been toying with lists trying to see what I can fit and what won't go. Can take all 4 Aragatos, their boss, and Yojimbo, with a reasonable amount of points left pending game size. No idea on specifics I haven't gotten to play yet. Without the book I dunno, does Yojimbo have any art, or might I take liberties? I was thinking the 2-model set Aragatos come out with an extra biker you can't field, would it be not-inconsiderable to modify one of those to better fit Yojimbo's stats/gear?

Also, Karakuri are too cool, I'm in this too deep already

What about Penny with a headswap and a weapon swap? The whole "gender" issue might be forgivable if you do a good enough job...

Does anyone else find the Hacker-Biker sort of hilarious in concept?

I mean really, you thought texting and driving was bad... this guy is hacking bad guys when on a crotch-rocket. He should have to make a Physical Check every turn to not hit walls.

No worse than someone firing a SAW one-handed while riding a crotch-rocket.

There is nothing at all wrong with that, in fact it's perfectly plausible!

**Alkasyn**

Yojimbo does have Concept art, and we know how he looks. That said, do what you like.

**BobbaFett**

I've found this and I'm still amazed:

**Noir**

Two thing, 1)glad I started QK this year, 2) if CB suggested the hallway size I really hope they don't go to bigger bases as they won't fit in the halls.

**Chemical Cutthroat**

*sputters, froths at the mouth, headexplodes*

Yes a thousand times.

**Absolutionis**

Wow. That looks exceptionally impressive. It may even be rather cool for 40k Eldar terrain.

I love the detail in Tanrik and Saladin with their bases matching the terrain. Are those rectangular filigree-like designs wood-cut or are they stickers?

**Bolognesus**

They mentioned engraving the surfaces of their panels just recently, so I'm guessing engraved.
Not wood though; foamed PVC or somesuch

**Red Harvest**

It is Foamed PVC. I do like the way they did the geometric patterns. I'll borrow that idea.

2 Thumbs up

And more faction specific terrain en route?

**Saphos**

Pretty pretty terrain. Indeed useful for other games, too.

**Piston Honda**

I must buy that battle palace.

Is it for sale yet?

*head has also exploded*

That is fething brilliant. I wonder how much it will cost and when it will be released?

**Erasoketa**

Not yet available, and I don't know date or price. But the first sets will be these:

The price of the buildings designed by Plastcraft Games varies from 5€ to 45€ (45 is a huge Pagoda for Kensei, normal buildings are from 10 to 25€).

**Barzam**

Bleh. This isn't the update I wanted. I've nowhere to even put more buildings right now.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Oh my stars and garters!

**Kanluwen**

There is a thread for Plastcraft Games, if you guys don't mind posting terrain in there.

**-Loki-**

Holy gak. Yes. A thousand times yes.

**MRPYM**

New Noeterran bolts up:

**Barzam**

Damn. Those look good. I've bee waiting for some new figure news and this didn't disappoint. They look good too, considering there's only two bodies types in that set. I'm really liking the Hacker.

I guess we know now what one of the boxes is. I hope the other is either Yu Jing of Haqq.

**Kanluwen**

They look good, just wish there was no more freaking hair coming out of the helmets...I really don't know why they keep doing this.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Clippers are sooo hard to find and use...

**Kanluwen**

Not the point. Prior to 2013, the "hair" on helmets was limited to Yu Jing, Haqqislam and the Myrmidons. It's only been since Campaign: Paradiso that we started to see this--and it began with a Nomad model of all things.

Furthermore not all instances have the 'hair' where it is easily removed. Look at the female Bolt from the starter set--the body is one piece with the hair sculpted to the torso. Good luck just "clipping" that off.

**GrimDork**

Those bolts are interesting, although I probably have too many irons in the fire in terms of desired forces as it is!

**Chemical Cutthroat**

They do look really good. Looks like I'll have to work on a Neoterra list.

That new version of the Boarding Shotgun looks weird. Not good or bad, just weird, I'd like to see another angle on it.

**Sangarn**

.. Are we looking at the same miniatures?

These sound like conceptual/aesthetic issues, and makes me wonder how you started Infinity in the first place!

**Noir**

So the Drop Bear model will get a blister when the new book comes out, for a 8 nice.

We knew you views before you posted.

**Chemical Cutthroat**

Freals. I mean yeah, the femmes are sexualized. CB is completely unapologetic about that, and that's fine by me, but obviously isn't everyone's cup o' tea, but a quick browse of their galleries and you should know what you're signing up for.

I don't see any of the weapons being oversized. The guns actually shrunk a LOT In the newer sculpts.

Unless you mean the Missile Launcher...

MISSILE. LAUNCHER.

Those tend to be big, unless they're one-time-use like the DEPs.

**Sangarn**

You are wrong, they where reduced in size with the military order,
they put it back oversized like at the begining of the first infinity mini ...

btw only the missle launcher is correct sized, i speak about the combi and like

**Chemical Cutthroat**

They look fine to me. The Sniper Rifle looks well sized, and the Boarding Shotgun just looks odd because of the design change. They certainly look a lot better than the original Fusilier Combi Rifles with the cola-can multi-barrels and the sights that are blocked by the top-magazine.
