He got me too

Yeah, it sucks. This situation is exactly the reason why it's illegal to own a store and distribution like this. But I guess if you shuffle it off to a family member.

Which is why it's important that CB actually get more product into other distributors hands, otherwise they risk losing the market for their game as it gets sent out piecemeal from warstore orders, instead of to the stores and other places that order it.

I don't think there is any risk of losing market, The game has been growing fast in the US and other then the Art Book (maybe) we have no proof or instance that thewarstore is holding back any stock from their customers. If they were refusing to stock their customers, then that would be illegal. My guess is that Warstore was just more comfortable estimating the numbers it will have for sale then giving his customers arbitrary numbers. This way if he was wrong and oversold the fault is on him, if he promised more to his distribution chains and didn't come through it could cost him business.


Also what they are doing is not illegal by any rule of the law as they are two separate business and even if they weren't, do some digging and you will find plenty of examples of distributors selling retail.



Anyways this is not news and we shouldn't be discussing it in here.

One hour ago -V- said that he was going to start CA's sectorial armies setup.

I'm not sure what that means but...OK!

Is that the guy working Army 5? I did see that during the whole art book CB store fun that they were complaining that the webpage load was delaying their upload of Army 5 files.

-V- is their (newly) resident technoguru.

Cool thanks for the info, I was pretty sure I had seen his name attached to the Army Builder and Web Page stuff before.

That's the third last army in Infinity.
Tohaa doesn't have a sectorial, Aleph has one and CA has two.

Basically they're nearer to the finish line.

So... does anyone know how the Nomad ML looks? because I can't seem to find any troop that has it apart from Alguaciles, I know it will be similar (for grades of similarity between 5 to 100%) to the Yu Jing one (like their HMG, they buy ammunitions and CKoalas from them) but does anyone know if there is any existing concept or mini with a Nomad ML?

There's a Wildcat with a heavy rocket launcher and a tomcat with a DEP, but I don't think we've seen a nomad with a ML before since only the Alguaciles and now Grenzers can use them. Zond doesn't count, drone mounted SMLs are always different looking than infantry MLs and those are some old drone models anyways.

Probably going to be in the Alguaciles SW box coming out just like the Fusilier box. If you can't wait then I don't imagane anyone would have a problem with you using either a Yu Jing ML or the hellcat's HRL and calling it a ML, especially on a grenzer ML that probably won't have a proper miniature for quite some time

Hey guys, for anyone in the know is there any rumblings that the Seraph will be getting a model anytime soon?

I haven't seen any meantion and most MO players and PanO player don't seem to be losing any sleep over it since it is considered one of thier worst TAGs.

We have this image from a while back, but that's it. And, as Messiah said, it isn't particularly high on our most wanted list.

The Seraph, the Uhlan and the Tikbalang are all based on the same chassis, and we've seen the concept art for all of them. We should see at least one of them this year. The Uhlan seems the most desired. I'd rather see the Tikbalang/Toni. We do know it won't be this month.

As far as I know, the only unknowns for this month are when we see the Army Builder ( within the next week or two?) and the ITS 2015 information. And a couple of unidentified blisters.

There is a big event in Spain at the end of April, Ficzone. Bostria announced N3 there last year. I wonder about this year's announcement. Any rumors?

I would say that we have 3 options:

1.- Acheron Falls Book teaser.
2.- Something like Human Sphere 2 updated to N3 book here.
3.- New Campaign book.

I'm hoping that the Tikbalang will be released at some point, on the grounds of it being the coolest-named unit in the Infinity range!

Yes, although isn't it the only TAG that Military Order can have? It's probably going to be pretty popular on that basis.

And it's certainly functional as a TAG, has a Spitfire and lacks TO or any other fancy-pants stuff, but doesn't compare to poorly to some other faction's stuff (and the 85pts is pretty reasonable I think).

I really hope they show some of the 3d images at least (or hopefully the actual model) of the Maghariba during their April event. Unlike GW, CB seems to be keen on having people excited about what is to come. It's amazing that having a steady stream of cool looking products (even if they're occasionally ridiculously limited edition) keeps people spending money with them while simultaneously waiting for the next stuff.

Have we not seen the render of the Maghariba already?

Edit: nope. Got confused cos we've seen some artwork and the actual dossier thing.

Yeah, we got the cartoony but cool concept art pic and then an Osprey book style "painting" one a few months later. Both definitely look cool.

See the Spitfire makes it a close range TAG and MO HI's cover that great as is. I think it will see more play in PanO over MO, because as you said 85pts is pretty cheap for a TAG.

In general force we have the Swiss Guard. Rather nasty profile in N3. I don't know what I'd do with Seraph in the general force, now that we also have Father Knight.

Alright, cheers for the into mate.

Yeah, that's why I'm keen on it.

Interesting comment on Angel's FB page, my highlight in bold..

Hello everyone

During these days I've read all your comments, messages, opinions on facebook, twitter, blogs, forums, etc....
Your opinions are very important for me.
This book was a dream but also I've written this book for all followers so this weekend I'll make a decision about my book.
Meanwhile Dia Cash and me are going to give away 4 signed covers.
I thank you all your support.

Every second comment on his FB page is "I wanted to buy your book but couldn't get it", or people wanting a PDF. Maybe he has taken note?

I only speak for myself as someone that has already preordered the book, but I wouldn't mind if there was a reprint. The point of the book is to get information and knowledge out there. Making everyone a better painter is a much better goal than just appeasing the investors that bought multiple copies of the book to resell.

I'd also be really mad if suddenly The Warstore revealed to a bunch of people that they took more preorders than they have stock and I wouldn't be getting a book.

A nice 'compromise' would probably be just reprinting the book without the mini. It'd get Giraldez's dream-book out to more actual fans rather than just investors while setting off a listens-to-customers vibe. On the other hand, nobody will ever believe limited-edition claims ever again.

Now if only they'd rerelease that $60 YuanYuan at a more reasonable price.

I agree completely. How many people honestly bought the book because it had 'limited edition' on the cover?

Other than people who bought multiples to sell once the price inflated, and to be honest I don't think I'm going to be losing any sleep if those people are upset by the decision to release further copies.

If he's planning another volume he could do a slipcase bundle at the same time

a different product so no breaking of his word, but it would give the content of volume 1 to people who missed out

The easiest solution is to release it as an ebook, it undoubtedly exists as a digital file already.

No reprints to appease collectors and everyone who couldn't get it have access to it, forever.

I pre ordered from wayland games as soon as it went up, because i want the book and have done since he announced it.
I really like the joan model, but I would have bought without, and the only thing limited edition means to me is that some people wont get it, which is a shame.

I do understand why the initial run was short, self financing is big risk and that is what he wanted to do. But there is obviously a lot of demand for his work, clearly, and I wouldnt begrudge him whatever he decides.

I'm still hoping that a video of him doing his magic is somewhere in the pipeline, miniature mentor and painting buddha produce some great stuff, I'd love to see Angel produce something like that.

#SniperCape

Just FYI, if you preordered any of the January releases through The Warstore(Rasail, Squalo,etc) you should be getting them today or tomorrow.

My Squalo just arrived so I'm pretty intrigued by how I can fix the ragefist.
