We will always have memories.

Certain armies get better mileage out of general forces, easier access camouflage, warbands and certain few have specialists others can only dream.

I'm liking new PanO design, though I fear everything will look somewhat the same.

Rotating video of the Muttawi'ah:

Gee, it's almost like some one being claming I KNOW it is sectional. Then being mad their wrong, while everyone else was saying it is a starter there is no way it will be sectional, it meant to show case the rules for new players.

Then you don't know what you're talking about.

It's exactly like Unbound. It's so you can field whatever crap you have without penalty. Want to have a ton of specialists that normally you wouldn't? Play vanilla!

Firstly, I think considering the amount of time we both spend communicating on these forums, you could possibly be a bit more civil?

Yeah, and Alph wonders why things get hostile when Kan gets fired up.

Erm, what are the mecha foot like things they're carrying?

Darm after the video I would want to have the box just because I like the fashion blogger sculpt... but I don't like Ghazzi and the E/Marat. Decisions, decisions.

E/Marats. They point them at things that are electronic and fire waves of EMP out of them. So TAGs, Heavy Infantry, intricate guns and tech gadgets, etc.

Yeah, lets all be honest here. That model is as influenced by Kat Dennings as much as the shotgun is influenced by Kat Dennings.

Which is not at all.

The blogger thing I see though. Glad they went with the shades/goggles look rather than straight glasses. Much less nightmarish to paint.

To whomever was saying they thought these were not done by Angel...

He posted these up today on his FB page. It looks like he did indeed paint up the Mutts after all.

this is studio Giraldez now,
meaning that giraldez+padawan paint those

most of the time his padawan paint the mini first steps,
then Giraldez finish it with details of his own trademark

Ahhh.. Gotcha. Thought they were located in different places. In that case: I'm dumb retract my statement :p

Ángel's padawan, DAF, is a staff member of CB. He worked there before starting to paint for them too. Concerning Ángel, I know that sometimes he used to paint either at CB facilities or at his own house. I guess he currently paints at CB more often, since his anouncement on exclusivity.

These Muttawi'ahs were painted by Angel Giraldez.
Daf has painted the new Agema & the Nikoul Ambush unit.

There is just the new Suryat left and the whole bunch of releases will be complete.

So apparently the aficionados don't know his work as well as they thought?

I think they look stupid, which is a shame since I'm a fan of the head sculpts.

Memories, and some pretty good comic strips

Apparently we don't But you have to admit, these are not up to Angel's usual standard. Deliberate?

Those Mutts are looking better and better as minis though. This month's winner, I think, is the boarding shottie Mutt. Now, for July, we are getting the preview of the Operation Icestorm minis, no? And maybe the LE Penny?

I like the idea that it is set on Svalarheim. We had a campaign set on Paradiso, a contested world, and now we'll see a campaign set on another contested world. A lot of potential for cool terrain. I wonder if that ice table which Magno made influenced Interruptor.... it did involve Nomads v. Pan-O. Ah, here it is: http://infinitythegame.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13905-svarleheima-geo-luminescent-table/

This is going to sound like an odd compliment, but whoever decided to have the 360 degree rotation at a reasonable speed, thank you. More often than not companies seem like the put the video on fast forward.

Beautiful models, love the goggles. and manly beards.

The new Muttawi'ah models are awesome.

God... take a look at the old ones:


Now, back to the new version:


Concept design:

It's interesting that the concept art lists the Jammer as the radar looking thing, and doesn't list the E/Marat at all.

The Jammer isn't a directed weapon. It just emits a radius of jamming effect (circular template over the user) and the user 'tunes in' to one person by selecting a single model under the template. The E/Marat is a directed weapon (teardrop template) that is pointed at something before sending out waves of EMP. Mislabelled concept art?

That's fair enough, but it's worth remembering that Haqqislam is near the bottom of the ladder regarding mechanical technology. Their best stuff is bought from other factions, and Ghazi Muttawi'ah are right at the bottom of the list of people to get good tech. They're the lowest of the low, using the lowest tech available. It's not going to look sleek and sexy.

I want to buy just the fashion blogger because I want to do things with that scarf. Patterrnsssss.

I get your point, but I still don't think it should look like a weapon from a terrible 1950s sci fi movie.

They, CB, recently acquired a 3d camera that does this sort of thing. A very nice way to showcase the minis. Bostria (Carlos Llauger) is the one who does the photography. IIRC.

More accurately, they upgraded their dSLR to one that can shoot decent video and also got a good motorised turntable. There's no actual '3D' involved for the turnarounds.

Monday's "#SniperShot".

At least it isn't a rock, right?

Well here's the Nikoul. We know it has Symbiont Armor, Viral Sniper Rifle, Minelayer, and Sapper....as if that wasn't enough it also has Multispectral Visor Level 1.

That's awesome!

Given their usual release timelines after showing an image like this, when will this likely be for sale stateside?

Late July or early August.

One more question- is that the new 55mm base in the above pic, or just a 40mm base?

I have to find a 55mm base for my Gorgos, so if this needs one too I'll just pick up two.

Edit: Okay, last one . But is it reasonable to guess that the above model is separate from the base, and could be somewhat easily put on a different base?

It's a 40mm base. Sappers go on 40mm, most of the TAGs(Geckos and Maghribas are the exclusion--Geckos are on 40mm and Maghribas are on 80mm) are 55mm bases.

Sappers generally are separate from their base; but they won't look as good separate.

Yup. Loosest guess is it's one of the two Heavy Infantry from Operation: Icestorm; which will likely be revealed anywhere from July 26th to the 30th since it's a prize at Interplanetary in Vigo, Spain during that timeframe.

I love all those videos. It's amazing how much thought have been given to the whole design process.
