I'm just starting to become very 'aware' or the nonsensical 'don't obscure chest detail' idea.

I don't mind how oped his chest is. The way I picture it he's tracking a target as it moves, that's why the angles quite wide.

Like he's snapping off an ARO at a TAG that just popped into his LoF, but from an unexpected direction.

The quiff is a funny touch. I Like that Feuerbach. Makes me wonder what the plus size Azra'il's will look like.

Why do I suspect that CB will be holding off on revealing the Nazarovas until the end of the month? Teucer is one of the 2 mystery blisters, so we have one more of those...

Glad he released more of the book and mini combo , I was able to preorder through thewarstore.com today, midnight is their cut off point if anyone was still looking for it.

Like I said, I like this specific pose, I'm just becoming aware of the trend.

Yeah, you've got a good point I think - it is becoming a bit too obvious...

So far we've had small reveals from MiniWarGaming and Data-Sphere. CB is BFFs with Beasts of War, and the Nazarovas will probably be their reveal. It's no coincidence that the months' reveals have been staggered between different sites.

I'm expecting a couple of big things from the Nazarova twins, what with CB's intent on showing as much chest as possible.

Angel put up pics of his Scarface from the book

So.. Open Chest is the new Rage Fist?

I suppose at least eventually all of the 'trends' will mix, and would probably only be an issue if you insisted on collecting and painting in a strict chronological order of release.

"Rage fist" is part of the symptom of "Open Chest".

Their stated goal is to leave as much of the detail on the chest open so that the sculptor's work can be appreciated.

Not to derail from ragefist and open chest complaints, but a kickstarter for a dropship started last night. It's original purpose was 15mm, but looks good for a small Infinity objective in my book. $75 for an all resin (some metal bits optional) kit this size. Already funded, first stretch almost reached.

I don't think it works well with the 28mm figs. It looks a bit off from the front but it isn't completely obvious till yo usee the fig next to the ramp he'd be supposedly using to crawl in and out on his knees or belly.

Yeah seems a bit tiny. Looks cool though. Ahh read more, meant for 15mm. Gotcha. Yeah seems pretty solid for 15mm.

And Antenocity ist going to do that infamous Infinity-Dropship finally.

I think it would work better with the rear ramp in the up position, and the front cupola painted in the same colour as the fuselage. You could then imagine it as some kind of remotely piloted drone perhaps.

A good dropship will need to be something like 12"-13" to look really right though. Bear in mind the UH-1 (Huey) is something like 13" long in scale.

Oh no, you didn't.

Just a couple? Four is more than a couple. I suspect the Nazarovas will be more booty-licious than buxom, TBH. Either way, I just hope they are something that does not make me cringe like the old Kum Biker Girl.

Either way, it is a good time to be a Haqq player.

Don't think anyone posted Angels video of Joan from yesterday.

What's up with the right arm on Angel's Scarface? looks like he forgot to finish putting it back together.

Looks like battle damage to me, like an explosive has hit the elbow and destroyed the armour and exposed the underlying skeletal frame. That's why the edges are charred and melted.

Yes, you can see more of it from the other angle. Absolutely beautiful job with the weathering..

Sniper Shot

The hand guard looks sort of Haqqislamite. Aren't we waiting for the twins?

The finger articulation looks more like a TAG than standard infantry though.

That was my thought as well.

It might be just a tremendous zoom-in considering it's just a render. Otherwise, that gun would look quite featureless at TAG-scale.

Another possibility is that it's the new-statted Haqqislam Feuerbach Azrail with ARM5 Silhouette5. The original model was holding the gun in the "chainsaw grip".

That gun is a placeholder. You don't put the final piece in place since it takes up processing power to render and save extra bits.

That sword looks wider than the scabbard it's supposed to go in.

You'd think that, but put it in slowly with some wiggling and it'll fit...

C'mon dangling that out there, how could I resist a 'that's what she said'.

Set up right across the goal line by BladeRunner2019, Plastictrees only really has to walk it in to the net

I might well swap the sword for something a bit smaller, although a lot of those kinds of weapons from history were indeed massive, and you could explain the one-handed pose with high-tech materials that are lightweight, or the strength-boosting properties of her armour.
