I hope so. Anything that frees up development time for more PanO sectorials is okay in my book.

Yeaaaaaah...PanO already has the most Sectorials and CB is already planning on upping that number by at least two in the next book. There is pretty much nothing else that can be done for PanO in terms of Sectorials without the introduction of a huge new swathe of stuff for PanO. Right now the Sectorial focus is to flesh out existing background items rather than creating new Sectorials wholesale.

You have:
-Actonticemento Shock Army
-Military Orders
-Neoterran Capitilene Army

Forthcoming:
-Svalarheima
-Varuna

As if they care for anything outside of MO when it comes to PanO. Kotail, Reverand Healer and Spetsnaz are one glorious units. Can't wait for more info on Govad and new EI androids.

So we'd need a PanO-centric new model release schedule as well. Good idea!

Yep. I also demand an Earth-based sectorial (the Sepulchre fluff say they're based there guarding holy sites). Oh, and a special naval one, with the Santiago knights and Crusader Brethren, plus cool new models based around boarding actions.

I''ll take any changes to CA. Can't wait for those.

Sorry but I dont get that snowflake referance...it must be one of idioms I dont know.

If it means more fluff...Im on that ship.

Snowflake syndrome is where you've just got to be different, I think it's vaguely akin to that whole hipster thing. I'm guessing it has to do with that.

Moar/different nomads fluff sounds cool to me.

Enjoy.

its an expression "unique snowflake" referring to the idea no two snowflakes are alike, which can be said in a sarcastic way or mean it really.

In any case Nomads are a really unique faction full of character and indeed making them to stand out more would be a difficult thing, but to expand on what they are and provide more depth on them is not.

@up
I agree, on the other hand Nomads dont realy have any male character...maybe Tunguska change that. Its cool to have few strong female like Lupe or Carlota but other than Seniore Masacre(I hope its spelled right) there are no guys. Even my army is dominated by girls So I cant wait for new character from Archeon Falls...hopefully it will be cool dude.

Monkeyman Bran de Castro is female?

Bran de Castro is Bakunin, not Corregidor.

The characters GrenAcid listed are Corregidor. Aside from mercs, Corregidor has two characters--both of which are female.

While he's more monkey than man, Bran do Castro is a guy.

I don't have the 2nd ed rulebook, but I've read Human Sphere & Paradiso cover to cover.

I'd like to see more work put into fleshing out the character of Haqq & Yu Jing. They're always stoic, serious & deadly, but very little more.
More vignettes revolving around interesting individuals are needed. Dire Foes was a good opportunity, but both characters for these 2 factions were cold focused soldiers with little personal motivation.

GrenAcid's list was Nomads characters. Bran is a Nomad character. Nobody was talking about Corregidor nor Bakunin until you brought it up.

Why would someone complain about the lack of non-female people in one sectorial and then hope for the issue to be resolved in a new sectorial when an existing sectorial already has the problem?

How dare you try and beat an Aleph player in nitpicking and trivialities? You sexually-deviant Nomad scum.

PanO is overstuffed on male characters. De Fersen, Konstantinos, Stephen Rao & Kirpal Singh. Tell you what, you can have Fusilier Angus, in return for something good at hacking.

Konstantinos's female counterpart is Bipandra. Neutral.

Fersen's counterpart is two Joan d'Arcs. In the Sausagefest Sectorial having the smashface angry Knight be female means a lot. Favor to females here.

Then we have Aconticimento which is pretty much a neglected sectorial anyways for the time being.

Slight favor to males overall, but hardly overstuffed with sausage.

Never said there was a lack of female PanO models at all, just making a roundabout point that PanO is so blessed with male personalities, we even have one of the Dire Foe 'civvies' as a named fusilier.

It doesn't really...

...and especially not as we near the epic 400 page milestone!

And my counterargument is that having a 4-3 male/female model ratio hardly constitutes as "overstuffed". Angus is for all intents and purposes a civilian and a joke.

Well, Infinity has always had conversations plaguing it on the side regarding sexualization and gender representation. Wouldn't it be fitting that for the 400pg milestone, we return to conversations about sex representations and Kanluwen complaing about trivial matters (with surprisingly no overlap this time).

O...kay? I never mentioned the numbers of female characters at all, never said there were none, a small amount, a large amount. 'Overstuffed' in this context was a humourous reference to 'more than none' (given the immediately prior talk of Nomad male characters), and to furthermore tease participatory Nomad posters with the fact that PanO can even call upon a civvie model to 'represent'.

You seem to think I'm making some sort of point, I was just being facetious.

Also, you forgot Toni! 4-4 (ignoring Angus).

Too bad there's not a dedicated infinity forum to discuss all of these not-news/rumors topics....

If it's anyone that needs expansion and more work on the background it's Yu-Jing, not JSA. Yu-Jing.

You jester. Saying it, I'd love to have a good hacker, particularly with N3 power creep.

Oh my gawd! They've tried to deliver my O:I preorder at home while I was at work. I'll have tomorrow afternoon yissss

We should get a Moderator in here to remind everyone about that...

Anyone have word of when Wayland are getting their supply of O:IS to send out?

Is there anywhere that lists all the known changes between the current and new rules?

Can't help but think if I learn the rules now the changes may be significant enough that I may as well wait until N3 is released.

If I remember rightly it's planned for the 18th or 19th but if their stock is limited it may be later.

We should have some of our stock for the launch date, we should also have more for the OP Icestorm event at our venue.

We have been told we are getting all that we asked for it just might take a little longer than we were expecting.

CB don't have Infinite ( I know bad joke) manufacturing capacity so this has taken them by surprise a little

The volumes we have sold have only ever been matched by the largest and most successful GW launches btw to give some idea of scale.

Oh and my bad I forgot about Triple-0

This is (seriously) great news!

I dream of the day when I can find a game of INFINITY with ease in my area of the USA - and it sounds like while we might not be quite there yet, we're getting closer!

Can't help but agree. Would love infinity to have a bigger player base.

Yessum, I'd like to be able to go to one of my hour-away-"local" stores and have them even know what I'm talking about instead of saying they don't have the Disney stuff...
