I doubt I'm gonna get into the seminar, even though I clicked the button the instant it became available and had it at top priority, I've got 3000 spots in the queueue to go and there are only 16 tickets left. Guess I'll have to check here for anyone to have posted the news.

Hey, hey, hey... Konstantinos... Hold it right there...
Of course you can recommend going to the Infinity Gencon Seminar. Yes... but remember that not all of us would receive a tribute hero miniature super troop wiht our name on it. I mean... it may happened to you... but it's not going to happen to everyone ok?
Look at minute 32:00 in this video.
We even had an alternative angle here at 1:10:00

Since I usually just skim this thread looking for eye candy but usually don't read all the posts, any clue what are the release dates for these, if they are going to be released for all factions and what use will they have in game?

I'm hoping Ariadna gets choppers. Or some sort of Osprey thing.
We have a 'candidate' for the Ariadna "dropship" (gunship is more appropriate), its in the concept art queue at the moment.... despite being the lowest tech flyer I really like it.

“The walking Death’ was how the Antipode tribes dubbed the Spetsnaz after their first encounters during the First Offensive. ‘Those bastards’ was the word of choice of brigadier general Petersen when he referred to them in his report to the PanOceanian High Command during the Ariadnan Commercial Conflicts. Certainly, if one other unit can compare to the Veteran Kazaks in terms of effectiveness and prestige, it must be the Spetsnaz. And, yet, BG Petersen was precisely right: the Veterans are truly elite soldiers, but the Spetsnaz are truly elite bastards. Experts in parachute operations, close quarters combat, guerilla tactics, ambush and assault, the Ariadna Spetsnaz are heir to the long dirty war tradition of the Russian Special Forces, only filtered through the brutal sieves of Cossack discipline and the demands of a hostile environment such as planet Dawn. At the Dacha—familiar name for the Cossack Spetsnaz School—, the candidates, themselves hand-picked from amongst the best, are trained by the most merciless melon-fethers Ariadna can offer.
The things these aspirants are forced to do at that place beggar belief; things no sane person would perpetrate even if their life depended on it. The drill instructors of the Dacha not only strain the limits of human endurance and force of will, but instead flatly deny the existence of any limit whatsoever, and in doing so they force their trainees to go a mile further than the extra mile. The stress levels of the candidates are so high that the training ends with the so-called “Spetsnaz Day”, a riotous celebration in which the now-Spetsnaz are locked into the barrack perimeter with an endless supply of vodka. Twenty-four hours later, the area is gassed and the drill instructors go inside to help clean up and prepare for the next batch of recruits. It is rumored that the surrounding farms have a strict curfew that whole day in case one of these inebriated Spetsnaz should break free from the school.
The outcome of this vicious training is a group of highly-prepared commandos with an exceptional set of skills. These operatives are capable of chewing glass and killing a horse with their bare hands, and any other human would be hard-pressed to match their reaction times and killer instincts. All this soon became apparent to BG Petersen’s troops in the Commercial Conflicts. The PanOceanian advantages in terms of supplies, modern weaponry and high-tech equipment and armor should have given Petersen’s men the edge, but against the Spetsnaz those things barely bought them a few extra seconds of life. The brigadier general was right on the money: they are bastards alright. But the Antipodes weren’t wrong either…”
And here's Warsenal's new Ariadna "Sniper Tower"

How fething awesome is that dropship?! I know that design has been around for a while as I had it as my desktop background some time ago, but good on CB for making use of some of the great Antenociti designs.
Also - I'm now starting another faction, thanks to that Spetsnaz

It's cool but not a must buy for me. Something about it just seems off or doesn't appeal to my inner thoughts of what a Yu'Jing dropship would look like.
And the Spetsnaz is making my friend look at starting the Russians again.

I would never say 'must buy' or not before I have seen the miniature, but it certainly looks quite promising in terms of the dropship range coming out.
I think that was the 'Krokodil' dropship. Thank goodness for the name change. Spetsnaz, very nice. The watchtower has more of an outpost look to it. Hmm, will we start seeing a larger variety of terrain used, rather than the usual urban and pseudo-urban tables. I hope so. Warsenal makes some good stuff.
The new sniper rules, Ambusher and Marksman? Hurry up and let them out CB!

By then the Osprey may be safe to fly
