Very nice, just recently picked up the Morat starter so hopefully these should come out when I am done painting those.
A screen-grab of the weapon options, for those who got it completely wrong (like I did)! Like the CA HMG, and the fact that it's obviously using a different form of tech to its human-built counterpart

And the list of Infinity models I would like to buy and paint goes up to ... I don't even want to work it out.

I've had to make a conscious effort to not buy all infinity models I like, because it started getting too expensive.

Luckily I'm selling all my GW stuff so my only decision is whether to buy more FA or Infinity (or a car! lol).

It's time too. I'm fairly confident I could have redecorated half my house in the time I spent on my first 15 Infinity minis.

Yep, I want to go buy three more armies, I could justify buying three more armies to myself, but I already have enough stuff on my painting backlog that it would just be unfair to all those poor models that will be sitting in boxes.

I dunno guys, I find that the newer Morat sculpts are just way too sexualized and beefy. They give the impression all aliens are bodybuilding red faced killer monkeys, and that's just not fair!
...I am reeeeeally inclined to make that Morat Aggression Force now. I love the way the weapons on those guys look! My poor engineers with MK12's are gonna look tiny next to these guys.
How the hell do they stuff one of those dudes into a Raichu? Mebbe the Raichu has Zerat pilot? (Future bootleg model incoming).

Short pedantic answer?
They don't!
All joking aside, I do love the new Morats, but yeah, they've clearly started getting into alien steroids of some sort!

Indeed. I'm okay with this though. I always imagined a badass warrior culture to tend to be on the big side after all.
And they are 'Vanguard'... so I think it fits pretty well.
I'm just wondering what I'm going to paint them...

All the pilots (regular and bootleg, except Scarface/Joe Turner) seem to be female, so a zerat pilot is probably correct, and would be small enough to fit into the Raicho. The Oznat may be a preview of the sort of bootleg it would be.

My search-fu is pretty weak - does anyone have a picture of one of the new Morats alongside some regular troops from another faction? I'm trying to get a sense of how much taller and bulkier they are.

To be fair they never really did. That metro only comes up to shoulder height on the original vanguards as well. The original vanguard were always taller and bulkier than other LI models.

In today's Weekender BoW guys have confirmed they are attending the big Infinity event in Spain next week. Hopefully we will have a nice video.
I've watched last GenCon's conference a couple of times, I love that kind of videos :3
