I'm guessing that's it for Kum now.

Unless they've got a box of generic female Kum planned, which I doubt, that's it. The one with the light shotty is almost exactly the same as the female Kum concept art back on page 82, just without the dual pistol holsters under the arms, which are on the other twin, which go with her twin heavy pistols. My guess is they designed them to be generic enough to be used as regular female Kum. No Kum profiles except one twin have twin pistols, but that's easy enough to ignore.

And really, it's about time Haqq players got another different box. Govads or Zhayadens would go down a treat.

A Djanbazan boxed set, please. Such a versatile unit, with only two decent sculpts. To be honest, I'd also like a Janissary boxed set, but I don't know if that is unlikely given the existing (and reasonably recent) dude with AP Rifle; the HMG isn't a big deal, considering that you wouldn't get that in a boxed set anyway.

That too. A Djanbazan box is long overdue. Two rifles, a HMG and a proxy in the same style as the current Hacker and Sniper would be fantastic.

I honestly wouldn't hold my breath for a box of Haqqislam HI. While linkable, they're not our premier units, and even when linked, it tends to be only with 3 models.

Before I hear, "when we get news it'll be here!" keep in mind I don't scour all the text comments giving Kan a hard time or whatever...

Any updates on the army builder from CB? or aps like Mayanet?
I'm glad to see Infinity Pool put theirs out.

-V- the guy working on ARMY5, posted a few things on twitter and on their forums.

It's getting close, it's a lot of bug fixes and such. He's 98% of the way through his current list of bugs, but there may be more added to the list later.

Of the screenshots he posted, one showed that they're bring back the two columned print out mode, and that right now he's fixing how that will print across multiple pages.

Another two screenshots showed that ARMY5 will have both a top horizontal bar of icons for unit selection, or you can change to a vertical list of text names for units. So no more having to remember every icon.

All in all, it's looking pretty good.

He was specific in saying that the version they'll be releasing soon is considered a "lite" version, meant to get the list creator out there as soon as possible, and that further functionality would be added.

Infinity desperately needs a clear point of consolidation, so it'll help when it's finally released.

IIRC, all of them are 'when it's done'. -V-, the guy doing Army 5, I'm pretty sure I read he took time off for personal reasons. So we can't really fault CB there, personal crisis do happen.

Apps, as well, are 'when it's done'. I know Mayanet has been going through extensive testing with some members of the public. They're said pretty recently on the official boards that assuming no more bugs are found, this might be the final beta build before they do a general release, and that was 3 days ago.

I don't keep up with any of the other builders.

Infinity Pool?

Aleph Toolbox worked in a browser, so not really an app I guess. I don't know on the bugs in it though, but its the best thing there is at the moment. Prints sheets or saves PDFs like the Army 4 style, I just wish it showed weapon ranges like Army 4 or Mayanet does

BELIEVE ME when I say I'll be sure to update the title of this thread when the 'official' Infinity Army Builder is released.

So until then...

Given that you New Englanders are currently buried under 20 feet of snow, I suspect you have nothing else to do... except shovel said snow.. well, almost nothing else.

I recall reading something -V- said about having the Army Builder ready for the ITS 2015 start, so perhaps this lite version is what will be released along with the ITS, which we are rumored to see next week?

The person behind ALEPH Toolbox mentioned that he is focusing on the web page first, then will get to the apps (for Chrome and Android.) updated to N3.

We are getting spoiled for Army Builders. That is not a complaint

Alguaciles SWC and the Tohaa "Ninja" next week?

How many Kum bikers can you field together in the average 300pt force? Can you actually use all the sculpts in one list (and even possibly the Penthesilea on a bike)?

Kum Motorized troops appear to be between 10-19 points with AVA: Total, so you could take a.....lot.... of them. I'm reading that correctly, right guys?

Cool, thanks for the update. I assume that is from the new v3 files then? If they're that cheap, I may be able to put something else in as well like a Maghariba then (unless that has some sectorial only restrictions). Those are the two coolest looking units from one faction that I've seen. I used to be a fan of the gecko but the inability to choose weapon options kind of limited that for me from a practical perspective.

IIRC they're also irregular, which will limit the utility of filling your order pool with just cool crazy bikers rather a bit.

Well he didn't ask if taking all of them would be *good* per se, just if he could

At as little as 10 points a piece though, you could fill a second group up with them and still have enough points to make another 10-man group, but that's kind of a Haqq thing anyway.

...And they'll all be merrily using their one order each. Not really the most effective use of the models.

You could do two full combat groups with two or three bikes in each if you wanted to - that might just be effective (if you don't predictably do it every time).

Yup...God bless 'em.

Yup, it'd be nice if they didn't completely suck as an Infinity list but for me I'd be getting them more as potential RPG stand-ins and general scifi troops. I've always wanted some shadowrun biker gang minis and they look like they'd fit the bill quite nicely.

My thought was to use Kassim Beg leading the boys and Penthesilea leading the girls (either as themselves or just as generic standins for normal bikers).

Full 300pt army of Kum has been done. Apparently he had about a 50% win ratio at that tournament, but relied a lot on coordinated orders limiting the incoming AROs which can't be used as much now.

Army List discussion really should go in the...Army List sub forum...

Will do. In any case, my original question of whether that themed list was even possible was answered and loki even posted a cool pic link. Thanks!

May or may not be Infinity related, but this is from Giraldez's facebook:

Today I'm painting a pretty miniature, the quality is awesome, she is Rihanna

Haha yes I saw that, if nothing else ain't nothing wrong with having some photos of Rihanna in the thread!

What with the biker twins this is fast becoming the sexiest thread on Dakka

I got a chuckle from Angels facebook when he did a zoomed up picture of his wet t-shirt paint job

He did a good job of disguising that one. I can reliably confirm that this model has a head. Which doesn't narrow it down much...

Sweet! A Rihanna mini to go with my Matthew McConaughey mini.

Iain.

All February releases are up on Beasts of war now.

Thanks for sharing The new Alguaciles are pretty cool, I'd probably snap up a box of moderators of the same persuasion.

Igao has a pretty fierce aspect too, is it a melee unit?

Everything looks great... Man, It is absolutely impossible to decide on just one faction...

Alguaciles box is meh, but as someone over on the official forum said...it could never live up to the wait.

The Igao is fantastic.
