Think those Corregidor Jaguard, suit the Nomads' character perfectly. Got a punk/inmate/alternative look to them that just looks awesome.

Interesting!

The Yaogats are the star of the show this month though!

I agree with you, other than the Bounty Hunter and Bagh Mari

Jaguars look way better than in the renders.

And they fit the fluff perfectly. Gangers with a choice between civil service or prison.

Akalis, not Bagh-Mari.
Don't get me excited. For a moment I thought for a moment those were already redone as well.

Ha!

That's what he gets for trying to pull a modified FTFY!

I want to see new faction starter boxes. I guess we'll have to wait till AF for that since they'll feature the newer faction models particularly in the case of Ariadna & Yu Jing.

Though we get the new CA box which is entirely new models for units we had not seen before. Not a single shasvasti or morat in the lot.

Wow! The jaguars look positively nasty. I'll start practicing my freehand now.

So apart from the jaguars its basically a month of re-sculpts (or sculpt + a bike)?

You could say that I suppose, although that would demean the quality of those sculpts and the effort that must have gone into them.

Akalis Spitfire is not a resculpt. A replacement sculpt yes, but not a resculpt. It is also this month's winner, IMSHO.

Bagh Mari are redone. They just have Neo-Terra Bolt heads on them I use the Cosplay Bolt as a Bagh-Mari proxy. It looks hilarious next to the dainty Bagh Mari sniper.

Morat dudes..





Is anyone else tired of rage buttocks? Every CB mini now looks like the character has been doing 600 power squats a day, and is crushing walnuts when they walk.

Why not have some buttocks in different positions and poses, relaxing and sitting on something or leaned against a wall? Why does every buttocks have to look like its fully clenched?

They're armored.

I'll take firm buttocks over their previous obsession ...

Re-sculpts are good to see. CB needs to consolidate their catalogue & update models people aren't buying.
I almost wish AF would come later than next year. It would Give them more time to address some old sculpts that havent held up well.

Along with more updates to basic cheerleader units (zanshi, keisotsu, Kazaks), we could use spot fixes to units that got new profiles or are plain outdated now such as zeros, ninjas, djanbazans & many others I can't recall right now.

The game has enough units to keep in mind. I don't want to see CB bite off more than they can chew by doubling the size of every faction with new sectorials.

Someone needs to clear the spider's web.

E.g. some Szalamander is definitly in need of a resculpt...

I don't like the design of the new Jaguars in the sense that it doesn't appeal to me, in that I basically like everything about Nomads EXCEPT for the punk and dominuntrix themes. They're excellently designed and realized though.

Love the Azra"il, DAT YAOGAT!

And the sleek techy-bike bounty hunter makes me all gooey inside the way most folks got over the Haqq choppers.

Job's a good un'!

I always picture the scenario for the clenched butts as a random soldier has taken a bullet in the butt and as he's laying on the grounded wounded he sees the teams medic approaching with a ragefist.
A short agruement follows which goes along the lines of "Look, I can either get the bullet out or I can shoot you. The choice is yours."
The wounded soldier takes another look at the ragefist, does one final clench and screamed "Shoot! Shoot! Shoo..."

And now we know the horrible truth about medics and why they kill so many.

I'll never look at my Janissairy and his ragefist the same way. :/

As long as we never again get this kind of "action-pose"...

Dear God! That's Derptastic!

That is just very VERY Team America: World Police.

edit - spoiler tags.

She actually isn't too bad if you bend the left leg and give her more of a standing pose.

I think the old Szalamandra looks just fine still:



I'd welcome a new one too though - I just don't think it should be at the top of CB's "To Re-Do" list.

Never thought of that minuteman sculpt as a woman, but I never noticed the bare midriff.

Old szalamandra holds up fine.
It's just too damn tiny now. It's almost smaller than the geckos for cryin out loud & it must look absurd on the huge base they're meat to occupy now. I'd like to see it resulted, but they better not ruin it. It's a classic old-guard model, like the old ORC trooper everyone loved so much.

Eh the Szalamandra is an okay model, but it still feels like an old infinity model, like the Guija. Not bad, just very...flat, compared to newer stuff. I'd like to see a resculpt of it that's basically identical but just more like their newer stuff.

If the Szalamandra got resculpted, I'd like to see it at least posed standing up.

But, the one figure that absolutely needs to be redone is the Djanbazan. I don't know if they should do a box of them and replace all of them or just release a couple blisters and replace the rifle and HMG models.

I was about to mention the Guija as well actually, think if you spent some time on that and with a fancy base it still looks pretty good.

The Szalamanda in AG's new painting book looks incredible, it's amazing what one of his new-style paint jobs will do for it.

Isn't that the same Szalamandra I linked to?

If not, I can't wait to see what else Angel has done with that model!

i have a feeling we won't see the Guija addressed any time soon. Yu Jing is due to get some attention in their lackluster TAG department when AF comes out.

Supposedly some sort of small TAG unit like the Uhlans/Tikbalangs or Geckos. Allegedly you'll get a pair in one box.

There is a different one in the book. On a diorama base with a pilot, and with a dirty/used effect all over the armour. Looks bloody awesome! I can't find it on his FB page unfortunately

But I did see.. (I've put some close-ups of the tats in spoiler tags)

I don't see how that means we won't see the Guija addressed, Pan-O are still waiting for their Stingray tags and they redid the Squalo

But yeah, Blue Wolves or something aren't they?
