Oh, will you look at that Suryat!

glowing ... balls ?

That dude looks pretty butch, a nice chunky model which is refreshing in a way. Maybe he's one of those things from MiB, with different anatomy. Or he's just that much of a badass

He's a Morat. He's just that much of a badass.

Go look at the Daturazi Witch Soldiers and tell me you don't feel less manly looking at those. Morats (at least males) all look like they could pick a human up and tear them in half. And then on top of that this guys in powered armour.

Yeah Morats are pretty scary, especially the fancy new ones. And they aren't like... stupid right? Like a lot of alien brutes tend to be? Cause if they're not stupid, AND that beastly, pretty frightening.

They're certainly not stupid. They have very aggressive military tactics, but they're by no means the hulking unintelligent brute. A lot of Morat units become Impetuous though, which means they basically get all bloodcrazy after a kill and start moving towards the closest enemy units... regardless of how smart that would be.

Nah, the trope of big stupid lumbering hulk that communicates with only grunting sounds doesn't hold with them. Culturally they embrace total war as their mondus operandi, basically this race enjoys breaking obstacles rather than seeking alternatives.

So the Suryat model is completely different from the SniperShot posted on Monday... So they're releasing another Morat model soon.

It's Raktorak with Vulkan Shotgun next month. We already got the list from a podcast.

These miniatures look good, but it looks like the painting standard has gone down, with thicker highlights from before.

I must have missed that/forgotten about it - so what's next month again then, please?

I have 2 questions about this guy. 1)He's got the HMG, does that mean he'll be replacing the existing HMG Suryat figure? 2)Back to being on a 25mm base?

1) Yes.

2) It was never not on 25 mm? Are you mixing up Sogarat and Suryat?

I LOVE THAT HELMET ON THE SECURITATE.

Those front 2 Nomads look badass.

Operation: Christmas Present.

Is that the redsign Mobile Brigada? Please PLEASE tell me that's the redesign of the Mobile Brigada!

Also looks like the new ORC trooper on the left, but you can't see a whole lot of him. Doesn't look like that one has chaned much (which is good, old ORC was a great design, just needed to be posed better. Forearm armor looks a bit sleeker.

Can't wait to see actual pics of the models for this

New ORC in front?

And, who is that on the PanO side, all the way in the back?

Nisses?

Metal.

As noted - metal.

CB wished to keep control of miniature manufacturing in house, and as such, that means metal for the foreseeable future.

Also, please don't quote huge walls of text and or pictures without 'spoiler tagging' them too - thanks!

^^This, CB has stated "WE LOVE METAL" and have no plan to ever change that.

So, is Operation Icestorm the only 2 player starter box for a miniature game currently available using full metal?

I'm not sure I can say either way, but can I ask why it would matter?

Just curious!

Maybe, can't think of any else.
