There is Friday's BoW video too.
Seriously CB. I will dutifully buy your rule book and operation: icestorm.
Give us the Army list & rules PDFs so we can start playing already
Is that a natural 21?

Bought mine at Warstore yesterday. In before the hike, booyah!
Bladerunner2019, I'd be in the same crowd buying rules but want them NOW.
But CB are smart digital businessfolks, and sadly the lesson of digital product release is to put the hardcopy or whatever out a couple months before, then release the free digital rules. Gives those of us who would buy the object but could be lazy just a little more incentive to get off our butts and give our financial support to the company.
I've seen similar with music albums from smart labels: It's why vinyl releases often lead digital ones by a month or two. Not too long or someone will bootleg off the vinyl, but just long enough that the hardcore fans can't stand it and buy the object/album/book/whatever.
Infinity: Way, way better than 40K and more affordable to boot!

Just a few, yes.
Spoiler:
2nd edition range bands:
Previewed N3 range bands:
Assuming nothing gets split up (for example HMGs and MLs getting different bands) that's only about a third of the guns. It's very much the most common third though.

The Operation:Icestorm release is very important for Infinity, and their contents (2 starter packs) affects directly to other references in our catalogue. The following references will be discontinued:

People that has bought the magazine is pretty upset about the content. Seems that it doesn't contain the QSR, but pretty much what w have already seen in BoW this week.
@Koni Expect the unexpected... Operation : Heatwave, containing all the other minis. Nailed it.

1) Apparently to represent their "servo muscles", most heavy infantry will move 4-4 instead of 4-2 now. Medium infantry move 4-2 to represent the fact that they have armor, but none of the "mechanical advantage" of power armor to support the weight. Nice boost to heavy infantry (some needed it, others didn't), but not sure the MIs needed any further disadvantage in this game. My only question on this is, what about heavy infantry like Guarda De Assaulto and Aswira that already had 4-4 to represent their speed? Will they jump to 6-4 like a tag?
2) The Grenzer is apparently armor 3, BS13
3) Reverend healer has mimetism, armor3, Doctor
Interesting!

Good of you to post the new miniature pics here Knight, but can I ask why you spoilered them?
They look awesome anyone and I don't think are too dissimilar from the existing range - hopefully they should slot in nicely alongside the ones I already have painted up!
I think Alpharious asked a while ago to put spoilers on pictures, maybe mixing it up with something.
CA players love Exrah! Others simply loathe the hideous almost immortal bugs they are.
Quick recap:
MSV 1 - we already know it's -3 for ODD and TO. MSV 2 - stays the same. MSV 3 - needs to discover camouflage markers before he or she can shot them. However his or her attempt is always successful. In addition he or she doesn't apply Surprise shot! penalty. Ignores all other camouflage penalties as now.
AD3 - in case of PH failure you scatter 16" no matter how much you failed. (Yikes!)
Infiltration - in case of infiltrating over your half of the table you always roll PH-3 test. Should you fail you need to deploy it in your usual deployment zone. (This one is actually nice and beneficial for infiltrators).

Do we have a link were that 4-4 HI is coming from. I can see the plain no frills HI becoming 4-4 as they need some thing to bring them up to the level other HI units. But, most HI already have it pretty damn good.
Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
