Absolutely fething bad-ass. Love of all of those, the Tunguska especially although God-knows how I am going to paint them as the girl in particular looks tiny.

The 0-12 guy reminds me of a boss from a 16-bit side-scrolling beat-em-up for some reason !

Kan - verdict? Can't decide whether you would like the Tunguska/Pandas or are offended by their cuteness?

Am I the only one that sees a power fist on one of the fast pandas?

Civvie is just right, IMHO. Gotta say, the interventors win the month.

I was hoping the O-12 Commissioner would be of the O-12 faction instead of Bootleg.

Sort of like the Tohaa Diplomatic Delegate.

I think he will probably find a place in the 0-12 faction when it comes out. Several of the bootlegs, like the Mag Pilot, are already available for the armies. (Am I allowed to call them armies still? )

I really like the new Nomad stuff, Pandas and all.

Anyone doing the WARCORS for their area?

Odalisques are bodyguards. Although I would suspect they are also responsible for keeping Mr. O-12 from seeing certain things

But of course they are.

I mean, you want the best after all.

And what's better than near perfect and deadly attractive women? You're a Commissioner, gotta show up in style.

I hate you now. Your mentionning of old games made me think of painting like the Giovanni from the Pokémon series, and now I'll have to....

Ooh, I see Dreadball Xtreme coach possibilities

...you'll have to paint up a yellow Spotbot or something to go with him.

Since nobody said it, I am happy to say that Warcorps applications are open.

I'm work-bocked, so I won't be able to check in out until tonight, which probably means I won't make it into the First One Hundred, but I'll give it a shot anyway - later!

Interventors are amazing. Much more impressed with the Spetznazs now that we have different angles. But the high commissioner... big hands, big head, big feet... is he a Cadian?

The Fast Pandas are so GD cool. If you're going to make weird cyber-animals, THAT's the way to do it. So much better than the new Xondcat!

The Raiden's pretty ace too. Too bad it's not that great in-game. Real camo would have been worth a couple extra points. As-is I'd rather take something that'll survive after taking its first shot.

Nothing really for me this month, but I like the O-12 commissioner. It might find its way into my collection as a civilian.

I think the most interesting part of this release is a single bootleg. People were assuming future bootleg releases would be big news releases that took entire months to themselves, going on how the first bootleg release went. I like this precedent more. Throw in a bootleg here and there amongst normal releases.

Where's da Mutts?

Not part of this "month".

Well i guess I'll have to branch out of Bakunin and into Tunguska now.

Hands up if you knew this would happen?

I like the new male interventors a lot, but kinda miss the old female one (in a surprise to exactly nobody). CB mentioned they redesigned them because they didn't fit into the "theme" of Nomads, which I find ridiculous as they were one of the earliest models and as such defined the theme. Not that Nomads even need a cohesive look, kinda seems like the antithesis of Nomads.

Can't wait for the Raiden Seibutai to come out and I'm really liking the O12 commissioner a lot. Very glad he isn't in a Dire Foes pack, too many of those packs I like 1 of 3 or 2 of 3 models and hate/don'tcare/don'tneed the other(s).

Straight from the official board.

Haven't seen this posted anywhere, so here goes. June releases from O-12 podcast:
- Ariadna scout blister
- Ghazi Muttawi'ah box
- Suryat w/ combi rifle+LFT (surprisingly not a box - just single blister)
- O-12 Commissioner (bootleg)
- Nikaul sniper

Bostria said they were pushed back to June at the start of the year.

The oddity here is the O-12 Commissioner was released in May, so something else will be in that spot.

Or just a second Commissioner.

I haven't been a very big fan of the existing Tunguska models. But, these new Interventors may make me change my mind about them. The new design does look really nice, and I do like that new Boarding Shotgun with the foregrip.

Some bits and bobs from Giraldez's FB page
















That Tunguskan female hacker miniature is an absolute beaut, I just can't get over the delicacy of the sculpt.

That right there is why I quit Games Workshop miniatures for Corvus Belli. Realistic proportions that can be delicate where needed, not ham-hands and bobble-heads. CB still keeps things practical to point and play with though. They've gotten pretty good at it with the last few years' miniatures (the older stuff had swords etc that could get a little bendy).

http://www.gamewire.belloflostsouls.net/corvus-belli-infinity-new-may-2014-releases/

Kazak Spetznazs / Ariadna. New troop profile with new skills like “Marksmanship L2″ and “Ambushed Camouflage” that will make the difference in the table. Blister of 1 miniature.

So anyone see this?

The old female Interventor was one of CB's first models and it was amazing even to today's standards.

Ambush Camouflage was mentioned with the Tohaa Nikaul as well. First I've heard of Marksmanship L2 though.

Preview of what's to come in 3E presumably...

Profile and model for Spetsnazs can't come fast enough.

 Micky wrote:

Yeah. So far we've seen or heard about 3 (technically 4) new rules from 3rd edition. Bioimmunity (Tarik and Bolts), and now Ambush Camouflage and Marksman L2. Which also implies a Marksman L1.

Just little hints like this are making me hungry for N3. I wonder if all snipers are going to have profiles updated to include some level of Marksman?

Those panda's are awesome, how easy would it be to convert them to Hello Kitty's?

I have a suspicion that Ambush Camo is probably camo that can only be used once. Once a unit is revealed, it's probably permanently revealed.

That exists already as Limited Camouflage, so it must mean something else.

Maybe the Marksmanship means the the target cannot take the +3 arm in cover.

But, in 3rd Edition, perhaps the names have changed? it would be essentially the same thing, yes, but all the terminology might change. There certainly needs to be a least a little streamlining of the rules as they stand.

There's a difference between streamlining and renaming for the sake of it.

We'll see when the Spetznas hits the army builder/new units PDF. My bet is on something different to limited camo.

Maybe something that allows them to make a combat camo attack but not reveal themselves, if meeting a certain limitation? Maybe if they decide to fire at B1 for their combat camo attack, they stay hidden. Or maybe, as they're ambushing, they can't move while hidden? If they try any sort of movement, they're automatically revealed?
