Nice looking table!

And it looks like they're going to tease this out a while, aren't they?

Yup...it's why I'm basically ignoring Facebook/the official Infinity forums for the next day.

Better news. Bostria's presentation is ~11:30am Spain time not 5:30 pm.

A facebook page with a few pix o' tables. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.750716788292662.1073741844.356536004377411&type=1

and a 'Tron' table

11:30AM Spain time on Sunday - nice!

Only four and a half hours until 11:30am in Spain. Basically right when I'm having dinner.

Wonder if the missus will mind me sitting on my phone refreshing over and over while we're having dinner.

Haven't been following the news or thread. What's expected to be announced?

I'm actually going to pickup a giant order of micro art studio terrain for various scifi games. I'm just super tired of gothic and dark terrain being used at the store.

First news drop - Infinity 3rd edition this year. Antenociti to do official vehicles, but only as scenery.

Also from a pic of the event from the main forums, may's releases are a 4-man box of Santiago Knights, Raiden with HRL, 2 Interventors, Agema with MSR and Kazak sniper. And do you think that means v3 at GenCon or for XMas?

Interventors with fast Pandas?!?

Interventors with fast Pandas?!?

Yay! New edition! About bloody time. Can't wait to see what they fix.

I was wondering about the pandas myself. Koalas? The drop bears the Bolts were supposed to (or will) have?

Can't be Koalas, they're named the same in the Spanish rules.

Definitely not Koalas, photos are dropping on the official forums and they are distinctly panda-esque.

Something on the official boards about them being helper bots for the new Interveners, which increases their ZoC.

Just cause noone has posted it here yet.

Hmm I just picked up all three rule books, I hope they aren't all going to become redundant with the new edition

Depends on the contents of the new rulebook. If they don't pull all lists, weapon and unit profiles into one book, then the old books still have their use for those. If they do pull them all into one book... I guess you've got the pretty art and fluff still. That's why people buy the rulebooks anyway considering the rules are not only free online, but there's a fan edit that makes them better laid out.

Thats very true I'm quite looking forward to reading all the fluff before I start playing.

Alright, Yu Jing appears to be getting new HI that mounts TAG-scale weaponry. And the best part... they are armed with knives for close combat instead of CCWs. If they make it through without any levels in MA, then I will be happy. It's like CB read my mind and are delivering unto me the things of my wish list. Now I just need an AD HI and I will die a happy man.

Apparently the rules aren't changing much.

Here's to hoping they condense everything into one book at least. I hate hunting through mutliple books for profiles and rules. I'd pay more for a big hardcover with everything in it.

Well, the rules don't need to change much, but there are plenty of bits and bobs that do need updating. I wouldn't consider reworking some point costs, a few usability tweaks to close combat and a few other bits (like the ITS initiative system) to be a large change.

Mostly they just need to integrate errata/FAQ stuff, fix some over/under-costed stuff (HMGs need a price bump, MULTI weapons need some love), tweak some units to have a more clear battlefield role (and a suitable price), and maybe fix close combat in to something less niche (or, alternatively, make it a lot cheaper on non-specialists). Oh and terrain rules that aren't .



But I definitely hope it condenses the material in to one place. Though considering how much was added in Human Sphere and Paradiso, that may start bloating things too much. But having rules for links and sectorial in core would be nice. And for that to work they need to have all the units. They may have to just leave army lists out and publish consolidated, fixed lists online at this point.

Edit - Seems that retreat and LoL will at least be getting a second look. So there definitely will be changes. I think they may have meant that we should expect the new edition to still play like Infinity (i.e. ARO, Face to Face rolls, uses D20's, etc.).

I bought all 3 books a few months back, they're brilliant and beautiful enough that I'm happy to own them regardless. A V3 with full rules and lists would be very welcome.

One translation on the official boards:

Silhouet gives height and pose of miniature. Also profile costs will change as do the base-rules

Aseph: also type of base the mini use. It'll clarify doubts about LoS and weapon range.

Seems like LoL and retreat rules will be changed.. As well as Bolts profiles.

Conference over. BoW will to an english translation summary.

Silhouet gives height and pose of miniature

...a move away from the annoying TLOS-1/3rd model covered etc rule system? that can only be good

Interventor redesign(male and female) and the "Fast Panda" in between. Fast Panda looks to be a mobile repeater.



Concept art of a new Yu Jing infantry type called "Terracotta Soldiers". Likely for the Invincible Army Sectorial.


Concept art of another Yu Jing HI type called "Yan Huo Invincibles Fire Support Heavy Regiment".


New type of Kazak, "Ambushers".


Tankhunter. Looks like a redesign with the Autocannon having a different appearance.



Looks to be new Antipodes! Hooray!


New Ghazi concept art.



Some kind of new Tohaa model 3D sculpt. Again labeled "Ambusher".


Squalo TAG redesign for PanO.


Thamyris.


WarCor model; purportedly a special edition model for WarCors.


New Combined Army unit for the EI Sectorial called a "Unidron". These are the Line Troops of the EI Sectorial.

Another one

Shotguns change, are better and weapons ranges change

Kan - that TAG is the Gecko. Note the chain colts.

I'll remove it, but that didn't look like a Gecko when I first looked at it.

Yeah someone pointed it out on the official boards. Probably wasn't recognised because of the vastly different pose.

Plus those Chain Colts don't have the magazines on from the looks of it.

The Tohaa sniper looks amazing. Sapper? It certainly looks like it's carrying its cover around with it.

Pretty excited about the Ariadna stuff. Turning my vanilla force into a Kazak sectorial should be fun
