New PanO models being worked on. Looks like a new style or level of jump pack.

I'm getting real strong Voltron vibes from those silhouettes.

Spoiler:

**Riquende**

I get you. I still don't see it. The bases are the right style, but don't match any colour currently used on the list of PanO minis on CB's site. I also don't see PanO using such huge stylised wings.

On the other hand, happy to see any new PanO things if they do turn out to be.

**Kanluwen**

Angel usually paints bases last as he mounts the models on a pin for their bases.

If you look at the colors that have splashed onto the base you can see why. He almost exclusively uses an airbrush.

The colors though match PanOceania as well. That neat new "slate blue" for the armor and the khaki have left a visible mark on the base.

The bases haven't been painted; that would just indicate the model has been painted in blues and greens, probably airbrushed as a base coat.

Well what AD troops are we expecting?
Tiger

Spoiler:

&
Fraacta

Spoiler:

any chance its them?

Always possible that he's added illusory wings to send us rumor mongers on a wild goose chase.

**Kanluwen**

Going off of "what is expected" might not be the best choice seeing as we have gotten the Spetsnaz, Nikoul and Kotail, Terracotta Soldiers, etc.

I've been speculating for awhile that Svalarheima is going to see a new AD troop as it would be a missed opportunity for Svalarheima to release without a Valkyrie unit...

**Knight**

I'm trying to recall a recent unit that hasn't been previewed and suddenly released.

**Alpharius**

Because that's what I want...

Yes!

More for PanO Svalarheima!

You don't have to try too hard...

Nikoul, Spetsnaz, and Kotail.

**Knight**

For Spetsnaz I'm quite sure we've seen concept artwork, certainly we've seen CAD and concept art for Nikoul prior its release. Not to hear anything about a new unit, seems unusual. I welcome it, nothing beats a little shock now and then. Perhaps more will be told at the end of this month... with Bostria's plans being cleverly spoiled by Giraldez.

**Pacific**

Excellent detective work Kan..

Looking forward to seeing what these winged (or possibly many-armed) bad-boys turn out to be..

**Bubbalicious**

Those are most likely the female fusiliers with Giraldez trolling added to them. Left one being the sniper and (aiming rifle to the right) right one being HMG, both of those models are standing on boxes and the right model has its HMG blocked out in white as you can see that there is a bit missing from the paint bottle behind it.. (holding HMG straight up)

**Savnock**

Wings seem a little too small to be Fractaa. And I would be surprised if Tigers showed up at this time.

So probably trolling, and I think I agree with Bubbalicious's guess of more Fusiliers.

**Riquende**

Yeah, with base paint knowledge now imparted, I also think the 'wings' are red herrings, and can just about make out the female fusiliers in those silhouettes, although it seems in the render that the legs are a closer together. Probably just the angle of the shot though.

**Kanluwen**

Entirely possible but I hope it's not the Fusiliers.
Those models looked absolutely uninspiring, and quite frankly they need to go back to the drawing board.

There's plenty of news that's incoming--it is simply not being given to Dakka.

Beasts of War is sitting on another Infinity week, for example.

As far as I'm aware the second Infinity Week hasn't even been recorded yet.

Really? I'm not a PanO guy but I thought they looked great for what they are. Heavies and special troops are always stars of the show and make troops like them look like less. I'm doing Nomads now and thought the new Alguacile are just okay but that might be because I thought the rest were fantastic!

**Knight**

The new PanO design doesn't sit well with everyone (poses or design). I find Alguacil more thought out, Ghulam are also neat, though it shows they're using same bodies for the core chassis.

**Theorius**

new morat are OP!

Update on Angel Giraldez's lifeInvader page

Hello
I'm receiving many questions about my painting book and the expectation is large!, thanks everybody.
I saw the statistics of my facebook when I showed the cover and this ad was seen by over 22.000 people.... awesome!
About questions, many people asked me why I don't make my book with Kickstarter or Indiegogo like others painters or companies so the project will be easier but I do not like the easy way.
Also some people offered me their help ( money) for my project, I really appreciate this gesture but sincerely I prefer to make my book myself.
I think that if you work hard and you make an effort, oneself will get the reward.
Years ago I worked from Monday to Sunday, many hours painting, straining and saving small amounts money each month and the way was really difficult but finally when the day arrived and you can see that you dream could come true.....the feeling is really happiness!!!!
Effort, perseverance and hard work are the 3 elements to make real all projects,so this is the reason because I finance my book myself.
October 26 I'll give more information about the book so STAY TUNED but meantime I would like to show this sneak peek for all of you.
see you
Angel

**Usashi**

Oh that's tasty. I hope they will release that bust at some point. It's one of my favourite infinity artworks...

**GrenAcid**

And that is one tasty lookin Morlock......

That artwork is form CB art book?

**Kanluwen**

Yes, but it was in Human Sphere or the 2E book first...

**ImAGeek**

It's in Human Sphere I believe. Might even be in Paradiso.

**jonolikespie**

God I hope that and the two other busts shown off at GenCon turns into one for each faction.

Particularly a Morat bust in the new style with all that pretty, just waiting to he banged up and battle damaged, armour and a Penny bust (because c'mon, who else would they do for Aleph?)

**Bladerunner2019**

Haqqislam combines pretty much the best aspects of the Muslim world through history.

However, I wonder if current events might make CB revise any of the faction's background with the new release?

... what with a Caliphate sectorial coming soon & all

I hope not. I am quite a fan of the haqqislam lore.

**Pacific**

It's a beautiful bit of art isn't it, think it has appeared in several of the books.

I think that is extremely unlikely!

You could still tie events as they are happening now with the emergence of an Islamic state in the future as it is with Haqqislam. And, I think other than 'fleshing out' background (which we've read will happen with Nomads), I don't think we will have any significant re-writes of background in terms of changing their character, just extensions of them into the future through events happening as a consequence of Paradiso, Archeon etc.

A little late to the O:I party, but quick question:

My group has been looking for a skirmish style game. We got a good 40K crowd, but there are quite a few of us who prefer the squad level style games.

I've played Infinity, I like it, and I think it would fill the needs of my group. Do you guys think that O:I would be a good buy to use as an intro/demo system?

**Seriphis**

@d-usa
Not being in possession of the quick start rules myself, i would say probably...

The kit is enough for 2 people to get a basic start, and has enough diversity in the collection that you can get right into smaller games with the current full rules, without a doubt there will be enough for the next set too.
