It occurs to me that scatter scenery like that often looks 'wrong' because of the height. Maybe it'd be better to put the vehicles onto bases the same height as the models too?

^Yet another reason I prefer 1.5mm clear acrylics over the standard ~3mm bases. Though... I'm not sure if 55/60mm rounds and 50x25mm oval bike bases are common yet.

And that stuff looks great I know that these are their SF range, but seeing those makes me glad I ordered all six Mars Attacks AW resin cars!

I, for one, deplore the Inhuman Racism depicted by those models.

Monocycle Exrah now!

I'm disappointed in the lack of Haqqislam shown. I was hoping for a preview of some Caliphate or Khanate stuff, but all we got was a concept shot of the new Kum bike (which we've already seen models of) and concepts for the new Ghazi Mutti'wah (which, to be fair, look pretty cool). Would have been nice to see some new biker unit or redesigned Khawarijs.

Can't wait for new rules though. This news has thoroughly hyped me up for Infinity again. I was working on some Tyranids as well as some Infinity models over the weekend, but now my bugs might go on hold again to get some more Infinity models finished.

I think that they're working on stuff in stages and Yu Jing happened to be the one that has had the most work done.

Well, AW has been actually written into the fluff now under "Phoenix Industries".

This may have been even a huger news thing than GenCon's presentation.... Will 3rd ed be available first there before it is in general release? Because if so, *yoink* I'll get a friend of mine who is going to snag me a copy hot off the presses. I hope it will contain updated artwork and background too.

Interesting top 10. Have to admit the custodiers are my favorite nomad minis. But they are a pain to play against, (grrr. lousy ODD...) unless you bring a fiday

The background is not advancing from what I've seen posted. Not until Acheron Falls at least.

Maybe its just the work firewall blocking things, but of what top 10 do you speak?

Corvus Belli showed their annual "Top 10 Best Selling models".
Here's the list:

1) Reverend Custodiers(Marker)
2)Achilles
3)Oniwaban Shinobu Kitsune
4)Chandra Spec-Ops
5)Ajax the Great
6)Ikadron Batroids
7)Knight of the Holy Sepulchre
8)Wildcats(Spitfire)
9)Intel Spec-Ops
10)Tankhunter(Autocannon)

I'm so happy that the catgirl Daktari isn't on that list.

I guess all those sexually deviant Nomads players already own twelve.

I'm surprised to see the tankhunter on there. I actually love the model myself considering it's the biggest infantry-held weapon in the game, but it's getting a redesign soon. Why redesign something that sells so well?

What is rather interesting is this is the first year, as far as I'm aware, where there have not been any really "pin-uppy" models on the list. No Wildcat HRL on the list but the Wildcat Spitfire is on there validates so many of my concerns regarding those two models.

Probably because it's such an old model and it looks out of place in the range as it stands now.

Nah, I just convert.

The catgirl Daktari is the all time best seller, according to Koni (CB head of production). This list is just for 2014 sales. So you would expect it to be full of recent releases... and a tankhunter?!? I suppose lot of new Ariadna players then. :S

I meant to say deepen the background, not to imply advance it. My bad.

Bah I don't like that one. Dunno just doesn't appeal. The box set doctor isn't bad and that one that Haq can also take seems fine.

Don't really like the clockmakers either, I guess my poor nomads are going to rust or bleed to death.

Hmm. Not a single Haqq unit or a Morat on that list. I also happen to own only a single figure in there, the Chandra.

I'm a little disappointed that the Squalo doesn't look so much like a Masamune Shirow design anymore. I'll have to pick up the current one sometime soon. I'm thinking it needs some Police or ESWAT markings though.

Also, an EI Sectorial? Yes, please!

Spetsnaz are broken into two types: Paratroopers and Ambushers.

The new Tohaa unit is called the "Nikoul Ambush Unit". Surprisingly enough, they seem to also have Ambusher.

Sptesnaz?!

Looks like I'm going to have to work on painting those tiny blue stripes for those shirts...

Awww yeah boyeeee!

Miniaturas y Wargames posted a large photo drop on their facebook page.
Much clearer photos, and they give a bit better info for some of the stuff.

The Kazak Spetznas coming out have 2 variants, Paratrooper and Ambusher.

The Paratrooper is armed with a boarding shotgun and has a HALO rig (presumably for Air deployment) and sidearm.
The Ambusher has NVGs and shows a Sniper rifle and regular rifle on his image plate.

The Tohaa Ambusher is called the Nikaul, and has a Viral Sniper Rifle and Mines.

So, any more news, or specifics, about the rules changes?

Well, he is labeled "Paratrooper"...
Also has a Rifle option.

Ambusher has Sniper Rifle and HMG, not a regular rifle.

The Tohaa Ambusher is called the Nikaul, and has a Viral Sniper Rifle and Mines.

Well technically it's called "Nikaul Ambush Unit". That is a Viral Sniper Rifle and Mines...but the most important part is that he has what looks like a MSV or X Visor because there is what amounts to a "symbiote mask" attached to the Tohaa proper.
He also has Symbiote Armor.

That's what I get for trying to post with no coffee! Thanks for correcting my flubs on those.

Oh dear. The Kum Butt-Girl is back...

Praise the booty!

Thank goodness!

I mean, that can't rid of such an iconic mini!

To be honest, if CB gave the Kum troops a single profile with the "Booty" special rule, that would both be flavorful to the Kum Motorized Troops, and painfully amusing if attributed to the otherwise unarmed Butt-Girl.

I would be okay with that as well, simply for the humor of it.

She has a doctorate you guys! Jeez!

Oh. My. God. Becky...

Becky? I don't get the reference.

Maybe she'll be like the Hunzakut girl, whose concept art has been around forever, but still... I like the Hunzakut with LGL better than the sniper profile, so I want the model... and I suck at conversions. (too lazy to do a good job of them)

Anyway, Kum girl is not unarmed. She has a pistol and knife. Also the mini is now discontinued. So the new one, if we see it, will be June at the earliest, given that the May releases are known.

Lots of edits for typos...

Someone is not familiar with the rhymes of Sir Mixalot I see.
