She's supposed to be a serious irritainment** reporter, not a pop journalist. Y'know, for the square-eyed, Tube watching have-nots before their brains explode from blip-vert overexposure.
** Irritainment. (n). Form of broadcast that purports to inform and entertain, yet does neither - rather it inspires an inescapable desire to do maximum property damage to all and sundry. q.v. Big Brother, X-factor, "insert country" has no talent and any other so called "reality" format show.
She's limited edition in that ALL metal miniatures are a limited edition - the moulds wear out after a while and unless you still have the master, it is gone forever. I can hope they trashed the master - that model makes the original Ko Dali and Uxia mcneill sculpts look good.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
I got Paradiso but didn't pre-order, so no mini for me. If I had known that Journalists actually had a use in the campaign, I would have totally got her.
Journalists help with promotion rolls (which probably have an effect on what skills your spec-ops can get?). It is a skill with (at least) three levels. I'd probably add: Lvl4: Incurable alcoholic, and lvl5:bitter and twisted old wash-out. (used to do photo work for a newspaper, I'm a little cynical).
Due to the various screw-ups with transportation and incompetence at distributor level, I'm still waiting for my copy of both (should have it next week).

I agree. I actually think Infinity has lost some of it's Anime feel. Both with latest sculpts and even some of the new art in the book is a big departure from anime.

yes it's definitely getting a more 'serious' aspect to it, although remember not all anime is bug-eyed girls flying through the air and holding oversized weapons!
There are still the models out there if you want to go for the more fun-style anime route, and the go-go Marlene is another one of those!

Wow, hadn't seen that concept art for Atalanta. I like her... but not her spotbot. Hum. Oh well, it's not too bad.
I think right now Corvus Belli might be trying to cater both side of the fandom. They clearly still have anime girls in the making, but it is also clear that they are doing more realistic and practical designs too. As a fan of both, I rejoice.
I think it might work actually.

Umm... it's being working for awhile now.
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.

Discussion reminds me of the Kitten Corner shot: a gun with a cat replica attached to it, to catch opponents unaware. It was featured in Future Weapons, and it is both ridiculous AND effective.

I jest!
I think she's a fun model. And keeps the anime theme pretty well. I really like her robotic dog bunny thing though.
I'm NOT an alcoholic. Alcoholics go to meetings.
You'd be in trouble, because my fridge is currently as dry as a mosque - OTOH, the cabinet is fully stocked with good stuff.

And you can always hope that an opponent plays her in a game, and then you can take out your dislike HMG-style
Also thanks, have added 'Irritainment' to my vocabulary.
It's a phrase coined by an ex-workmate in that industry - in response to "infotainment" or "edutainment" (inform and entertain or educate and entertain).
Unfortunately, I'll be running my club's Paradiso campaign in the new year (The last campaign I ran was Eldritch storm (40k). I was the only eldar player, as well - my job was to shut down webway portals in order to stop others getting access to them (spoilsport mode). They don't like me playing in campaigns that I run for this reason - I don't play to win ). I'm betting that killing the journo is a free win to the other side though.

@Chromedog - I will accept sharing the contents of the cabinet. Its that time of year and a good bourbon keeps the chill off. Then we can shun our meetings as we drink good booze and roll dice to murder each other.
