Like me!

I'm not positive I'll get it though. Right now I'm trying to save up for Icestorm.

And yet they couldn't do this with the Yuan-Yuan for Battlefoam.

Guess they didn't like battlefoam as much, and there could be some underlying contract with Tabitha since that model is in her likeness.

Ah okay. Dammit, was gonna use him as a Foxtrot.

Considering that they constantly gave Battlefoam their release list for the next month and all kinds of goodies until late last year/early this year, I think they liked Battlefoam just fine.

It's amusing though how unlimited these "limited edition" models are becoming from CB.

**Space Ranger**

I like that they are more pre-releases. You can get them before anyone else but they will still eventually come out.

**NuclearMessiah**

Better pictures of the upcoming Dactyls from Angel's facebook

@Kan A business agreement ≠ being liked, whatever the damn reason it doesn't matter it is what it is.

Maybe Battlefoam never asked?

**Pacific**

Damn, I want that mini. Now to become a WarCor!

I'm still not a fan. When there's a gun pointing at your chest, the last thing any sane person would want to do it run at it. That's what Impetuous is meant to represent - someone not quite that sane who will run into a gun unless actively restrained. Being good at grappling someone to the ground shouldn't make a lick of difference when you're in the process of getting there.

I do like CC being more powerful though. if some martial arts expert or hulking, regenerating super soldier in powered armour gets close enough to hit you with their electrified sword, you deserve to go down.

Aren't there hundreds of youtube videos demonstrating how knives are as deadly as guns within 5 or 10 steps or something like that?

Although the Seven Samurai, Magnificent Seven and Indian Jones: Temple of doom, prove that this is patently not the case

Or you know it could be the simple fact they that the Bolt is for SELL why the Yuan-Yuan was a FREE give away.

"Free giveaway" that required the purchase of a Battlefoam Infinity branded bag.

**NuclearMessiah**

I just realized that Dactyle has an immense butt

Yes a free model CB doesn't make money on vs. a model they will. Now why would they want to do one but not the other, hard one there. Us having to buy a bag has nothing to do with the first part.

Lol that's exactly want went through my head.

**Space Ranger**

The Dactyl is pretty cool. She would be easy to turn into Nomad, PanO, or even Yu Jing with a good weapon swap.

**Riquende**

Too many hexes for my hyperpowered tastes (if they have to be there at all, they should line a coat).

**Knight**

I can't force myself to listen to Mayacast (simply not a fan of the show), can't validate the accuracy. However Nimubs grenades are described as:

"Nimbus Grenade is a grenade that causes damage, and also generates a Low-Visibility and a Saturation Zone (new Rule). Any one that enters takes damage." - anonymous poster. Sounds like a Swarm grenade, without viral part.

**Kanluwen**

Did we see this yet?

**Absolutionis**

That Mototronica Scenery Pack is exactly what comes in the O:Icestorm boxed set and we knew that it's be released separately.

First time we're seeing that specific picture, though. Looks rather nice.

**GrenAcid**

Nice pic there.

Hope they will do more terrain pieces, I do like how light and portable they are.

**Bladerunner2019**

I'm wondering how N3 will impact the length of games?

In my experience & in battle reports things seem to be pretty much decided by turn 3 at the latest.

I wonder if we'll see longer games in N3? By longer I also mean perhaps it will take the same amount of time, but more turns will elapse per game.

The O:I missions played out quickly in the BoW videos, but with many turns.

However, with the simplified rules many of the complicated lethal abilities & equipment get glossed over.

**Knight**

Through Giraldez's FB update:

In a few days Beasts of War will give information about my painting book so STAY TUNED!

**Sangarn**

A lot of new stuff here:

**Dheneb**

Well... that was some interesting stuff. Is it all official? Because holy Christ, HRMC on infantry?!

**NuclearMessiah**

So the Rodok will be the base model for the Yaogat resculpt that's cool.

**Knight**

Awesome and glorious find, thanks for sharing. Some really big changes. I'm rather bumped we're going to lack decent specialists, it's where the fun will be.

Yes, HMC on HI is coming for Yu-Jing.

Sensor Remotes
One of the ways that these remotes are being upgraded is that they will be armed with a Marker-like Sensor launchers called a 'Sniffer'. The idea behind this is that camouflaged troops will not be able to re-camo within 8" of the Sniffer, exactly as if it was a Sensor.

You guys have no idea how much and how long I wanted this to happen.

Nimbus Grenades
So, you'll have to excuse me as this is rather vague, but the new Nimbus Grenades are tied in with new terrain rules. Forests and other area terrain reduce the Burst of all weapons firing through them by 1 (to a minimum of 1) in addition to any visibility effects. Nimbus Grenades basically create an area of terrain and reduce Burst by 1 and inflict a -3 visibility penalty for shooting done (through/in?) the area.

Nifty. Can I have it?

**-Loki-**

Dogged granting NWI until the end of the turn is niiiiice. Muyib links are gonna love it.
