So I'm going to go out on a very short limb and say that we'll get a big reveal on the 4th of July for USAriadna... *Captain Obvious... up, up, and away!*

Yup, a sectional more "proof" for NOT a 2-player starter. I mean there is likely a reason Angel is doing USAriadna this year instead of just Fusiliers like with O:IS.

CB know where it need to focus to grow. US style bikers last year USAriadna this year.

It's going to be a new boxed set style, larger than the normal starters.

Army box, with 8-12 models. Maybe more. Enough to give you a 300 point force for ITS, with maybe extra models to swap for preference.

Think Privateer army boxes, or GW Battleforce boxes, but for Infinity.

Can you confirm this please?

Why the idea is neat, your examples show it is better to sell part of the needed force. So people still need to by more, to get to the standerd point level played.

No, unfortunately, I can't confirm Kan. Blackmail and roofies were used. (not really)

I'm hoping my source was correct. And I don't want anyone in trouble with powers that be.

Take it with a grain of salt, and feel free to rub my nose in it if wrong.

I reckon that silhouette looks something like an tour/trail bike, something like a KTM adventure or BMW Enduro, perhaps even with the panniers



CB were really astute with their design of the bike that Penthouse rides (there were a lot of elements that relate to cutting-edge design that's happening right now within the industry) - hopefully they have taken a similar route here, rather than with the chopper-style design!

I'm no statistician, but that pic Pacific just posted appears to have 8 to 12 guys. Maybe you are onto something.

I see 8 or 9 - not sure I can get up to 12!

Perhaps they're going to make sectorial bundles as they once did around the Paradiso release.

Such as this


This


Or this


It was brought up here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/blog/354766.page

There were a few of these bundles IIRC, but they were short lived. I started collecting after the offer ended. Seemed like a good way to get players locked & loaded right away with a 300 pt list.

Interesting choice if they decide to revisit this idea.

The BoW Infinity bundles, yeah they were great deals. But, they aren't Sectional. Would like to see what a Tohaa one would look like.

They do have another BoW Infinity week coming up, I want to say in a couple weeks? Maybe right around July 4th timeframe?

Maybe they are doing one of those boxes with unreleased USAr models?

And plan to keep them in production going forward?

Ranger Rick, Wolf-men, and biker chicks. I love it all.

It's possible that the biker is male, there's no real silhouette for the biker.

Not really bothered either way.

Hopefully they opted for Chris Pratt, since they're always on their "We're gonna sculpt a celebrity" kick...

It would be quite hilarious if they had sickle-clawed lizards to group up with him too.

That would be quite cool. I really wanna know what's in the boxxxxx

Looks exiting, looking forward to what will come out of USAriadna.

"Sniper Shot" of the week/month/moment/whatever.
It's a thing that's different from the Baseball Hat Werewolves in 'Murika.

The MGs bum I'd guess?

More like the spine on the power armor for a Janissary? Or some other power armor.

I see 6 figures for the starter, the Werewolf and something else (Dogface and Dog Warrior) and a biker. Although the Bike may have two riders. That would be interesting.

The 4th is on a Saturday. Either the 3rd or the 6th will be the big day for the reveal. The USAriadna sectorial box and the GenCon special mini, another biker. (<sigh> Enough already with the bikers.) And an American Werewolf in London on Dawn. Speculation based entirely on that image of course. We will know in 2 weeks.

CB has surprised us-- well, me anyway-- quite a bit recently, so take my guess with a generous portion of NaCl.

I'm pleased to see that 'Murca will be getting at least one werewolf. They're supposed to be something of a buffer between the Antipodes and the rest of the Ariadna nations, so it makes sense that they'd have them. I'm just hoping we'll get a Tesium armored werewolf. With an autocannon for good measure.

Your joking right, Ariadna can make Autocannon small enough for a human to carry and fire. The wolf gets a HMRC, but only one they aren't HIs after all.

So wait. There's a USAriadna model with a tactical bow. Cowboy hat is a given but... he's from 'Murica in spaaa'aaace and he doesn't have a gun? Way to break stereotypes CB!

SO there's cowboy hats, tactical bows, bikers, and werewolves? Damn, I'll have to see it all together but I'm maybe interested.

He's got a gun. The Hardcase has a Bow and either a shotgun or a rifle. This way, you can use this model as both. It's basically a crazy survivalist loner nutjob in the woods with an arsenal of weapons, who's coming out to defend his land. Pretty damn American.

As for that sniper shot? There's only one series of models with spines like that. And it's a PanOceanic light TAG series...

New Yan Huo. Better than the last one that I really liked.

This guy looks genuinely terrifying. I already had to take home two heavy infantry in body bags from his compatriot, so I'm not looking forward to seeing this model across the table from me D:

Looks pretty cool. Is tthat three separate models in three separate boxes or can you make any one of the three variants out of one box with extra bits?

There's only two different models there; two of the HRLs and the new one.

Looks awesome. Kinda redeems the previous one which wasn't so good. Side by side they look badass
