Haqqislam - Ghazi Muttawi'ah Unit Box (4) 20+ in stock, 15 hours remaining.

I guess Theo must have phoned it in on this one Now to check if QK can have them or if I can safely pass.

Hmm, nope looks like Generic Haqq and maybe Hassassins. Cool, starting to get a backlog of these things anyway.

It's a weird sculpt. It's like they literally took the ABH Sniper from last season and replaced the wall with a bike.

Those looking for non-Kum bikes will be happy.

Not a bad bit of model.

Do folks tend to board things like ships often on bikes in Infinity? It's a nice model but I personally prefer the alternate chopper sculpts. It'll be good though for folks who want variety for a different faction.

Pretty cool. Really like the colour scheme.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this model be, well, extremely limited in use? You have to roll the right result on the Booty chart.

Nice sculpt and all, but I can't help but think there are some more pressing missing profiles.

Very, very true.

Perhaps, with this model as a release, you may be able to select an ABH with a bike, rather than allowing a roll on Booty: Lvl 2? Its theoretically the same cost, since it takes the place of an item you might get anyway.

Sweet baby Jesus, that is one beautiful miniature.

I think there have been far too many chopper-style bikes! I'm not an American, and reserve the right to hate Harley Davidsons and anything that resembles them

Absolutionis:
It is indeed the resculpt of last season's ITS mini. They do this every year. The previous season's ITS mini is released as an alt sculpt for retail.

Yes, it's a situational set for the off chance you roll a bike on the Booty Level 2 chart.
The ABH looks to be separate from the bike, so she could be modified to fit on both a regular base and the bike base with a little work (pinning or magnets- or even a drop in base on the 55mm with something to prop her foot on).
Once again, something not for everyone.

I think this is one of those "This model might not be really useful in the game, but it's relatively easy to produce from available components, and it'll get decent sales for secondary projects" models.

As Knight said a few pages back, I would have no problem with someone automatically rolling the required result to field this unit. Or play it as another bike model.

Some pics from AG's Facebook page. The more I look at this the more I like it. That bike is also either really light, or she has very strong legs, looking at the resting angle.

So...we got a redone Penthesilea. Hair the same, face the same, headgear the same, bike the same. this one just has some visable armor on and isnt a robot. highly unimpressed

Too bad we are required to buy it..oh wait!

It's actually a reposed 2014 ITS authorised bounty hunter on an Aleph bike.

But jumping to conclusions is fun!

Their site has more angles of the renders.

I really like those Yaogats. Huge! Very imposing, fitting for Morats.

So, 1 boarding shotgun, 2 Combi rifles with Panzerfausts and 1 regular Combi?

Do we have any of the renders of the Haqq models shown along with these at the same event?

Not sure if I like my space monkey mafia to have helmets , otherwise awesome.

I think they're a nice adaptation of the original Yaogat masks, which were a little too minimalist.

These'll be a nice addition to my accidental Morat force.

Oh, Man those guys are going to push me over the edge to go full Morat. Nobody tell my wallet (or wife!).

Well, I need those Yaogats. I need them like, yesterday. And they're all sensibly posed, to boot!

No monkey business with these boys

What's the gun the top guy has? It doesn't look like the drawing or the other combo/panzerfaust guy...

Spitfire.

Cheers. The Morat spitfire is massive!

Look like the guns are getting bigger and bigger ...
we only miss the shoulder plate to have a pure spessmarinn

He's got those on his forearms instead, to be different

My thoughts as well. One of the things I love about Infinity is how precise and delicate the sculpting is with the miniatures. I don't think just from viewing the pics one can appreciate just how small they are. It makes it a real challenge for the modelling and painting side of things, but it helps set Infinity out from some of the other ranges within the sci-fi side of wargaming.

But! I'll reserve judgement until I see the miniatures, of course.

To be fair if huge guns fit anywhere it's the Morat Aggression Force.
