So I'm going to be that guy that doesn't read through pages to get the answer...

I was told by Francisco at Gencon they're shooting for before December.

Hmm I think you meant Fernando (Liste, the CEO).

Here is a tidbit about N3, in the comments. http://waywardwarcor.wordpress.com/2014/09/11/shallow-articles/ Also some info about Infinity at the NOVA in other blog entries. The blogger was the TO.

For those of you who just want the money quote: "Well, as of two weeks ago, (according to Gutier) the rules were still being tweaked and weren’t finalized yet." The referenced two weeks ago was end of August.

So, not even ready for the translator yet. :|

Jesus, I wrote Francisco.

I'm running on bursts of 2 hours of sleep due to this baby. It's frying my brain.

Some detail shots of a new Fusilier on Angel Giraldez's FB page

I seriously don't see what the beef is with them. They're making me want to start PanO.

I can't stand Pan-O, and I've figured out that it's because of the backwards facing magazines. Annoying.

Edit so it's on topic: Does anyone know what is happening with the Ariadna Tank Hunters? There was new concept art ages ago, but I am yet to see anything! I can't even find the concept art any more!

New concept art was a Vigo wasn't it? That's not exactly 'ages ago'. They showed a lot there and at Gencon, it's going to take a while for releases to filter through.

The translator has been at work for months already. Apart from the possibility of rules tweaks being translated again, the rules are only about a third of the main rulebook.

They might get a resculpt, but they're not in line. The concept was done to replace the older version (the older concept art). Bostria said it was so old and so aged that they were embarrased to provide it to artists for the illustrations, so they would rather develop a new concept for updated art for upcoming books. The PAC Tankhunter sells a lot. I don't see them replacing him soon.

I love infinity models but I am really tired of the way to common foot on a rock/transformer/ammo box that they seem so in love with.

Tankhunter is one of Ariadna's best selling units, isn't it? Hell, I wouldn't mind getting one and I don't really even have a functional Ariadna force.

I'm finding myself liking the new Fusiliers. I too am tempted to actually try making a PanO faction rather than just cherrypicking the odd figure here and there. My one and only complaint about the new Fusiliers though is that they're all lacking helmets. We know Fusiliers have them. That one in the original starter had one and so did the Spec Ops Fusilier. It would've been nice to have had an alternate head in one of the boxes.

Well, the AP rifle and the HMG TankHunters could use a resculpt. The PAC guy is still pretty cool.

The reason the Autocannon dude sells so well is less attributable to his sculpt, and likely more to do with the fact that the loadout will destroy just about anything on the table given the opportunity

I thought I had seen re-done artwork when they were showing preliminary art for redone versions of the Antipodes and the like that had a new design and look for the Tankhunters.

Well I don't know about that.. I bought that mini despite not even playing as Ariadna, just because it is such a great sculpt!

Yeah, but that artwork is not related with TH resculpts. It's created to be sent to the artists for illustrations.

I think I've stumbled upon it. Can't recall where, data-sphere or 4chan, maybe?

Why would they be redoing all the old lines, and not re-sculpt the Tankhunters.

The new Spetznas is sculpted with the new design. Why would they NOT update all the old kazaks with new designs to match?

New SWC boxes, new heavy weapon boxes etc.. it would be stupid NOT to redo them at some point with the new aesthetic.

They will eventually do it. But they haven't talked about it yet. We don't know anything about it. Despite the concept being published, a resculpt was not implied by them. They have already started with resculpts, tho, we have the new Scout. So in the near future we will have one or two more Scouts. And more Spetsnaz. The Line Kazak in the starter are very good miniatures, but the other Kazaks in blisters are terribily aged. I can see a minimum of a 4 minis box for them. A resculpt in a new starter... maybe? But that starter is already a resculpt.

I'm not saying they aren't going to do it. I'm saying they aren't going to do it right now.

The Tankhunter and the Speculo are not currently slated for resculpts. They were updating the conceptual dossiers since the models do not fit entirely with the new way they are doing things.

Compare the Tankhunters to the new Scout, the new Antipode Handler, or the Spetsnaz. They look like cartoon bad guys.

It does, however, mean there's a chance they will randomly show up. Like Carlos said about the Jannisary HMG, it was just one of those things where they just wanted to redo the HMG, so they did.

Bad news, anyone who ordered from Wayland in the UK will get a 2 week delay on Icestorm shipments due to greater demand than either them or CB expected. You should get an email to this effect.

That sounds very odd....

I could understand some pre-orders being delayed and some going out on time

but none going out on time sounds like it's all down to CB not sending them anything (on time)

An explanation from Wayland here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/615598.page

Looks like CB have not sent out any yet.

Same for us in France. 2 week delays

Apologies if this has been asked and answered already, but has CB said if they're remodelling the Cameronians and the Caledonian Volunteers?

Haven't heard a word about it, so my guess is: not in the near future. The Cameronian is a relatively recent release. Might be since they already have modelled the core Dog Warrior, but since no comments have been done...

Aw.... I was hoping after the awesome antipodes we'd see some movement there :(

Are CB doing an overhaul of the entire range slowly or something?

Not totally. Just the heroic scaled stuff. The Caledonian volunteers still fit in with thee rest of the range.
