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?

The twin missile launcher variant is one blister - he's been out for months now. This new one with the HRMC is a separate blister pack.

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:

You'll be pleased to know I was fiddling with Infinity Army last night trying to put together an army with both of them in. Next step, convert up one with the MULTI HMG. The tricky bit there will be trying to sculpt the gun.

It seems like if they have pushed out these two in rapid succession that the MULTI HMG might not be far behind?

The Multi HMG might be being saved for the Invincible Army starter.

Breaking news: Invincible Army starter not far behind?

If we don't get an LI that looks like Will Smith and a hacker who looks like Jeff Goldblum, CB will have missed a critical opportunity.

We got wolves and we've got dirtbikes in that picture, but what we really need is wolves riding the dirtbikes.

Then and only then will the universe feel complete.

God, I hope not...

A dead one, for when they go up against my Yan Huo.

Please yes !!

I like the pose of this guy, he looks like someone has just spilt his pint and not apologised

If the new models keep being this good I may have to start an Invincibles army. Sigh, another faction to get into, more money lost. I cheer, my wallet weeps, the cycle continues.

He reminds me a little bit of an anime styled Rifts Glitterboy robot.

Making me want to play Armored Core. I'd almost forgotten about those games.

Definitely like the model, though. Am going to have to grab one.

The HMC profile is ludicrously good. I hope the updated profiles in Human sphere are going to balance the power distribution.

Their size and low MOV are considerable weaknesses. They're poorly equipped for CC as well.
A sneaky infiltrator, AD, or impersonator could dispatch them easily. They're also hacker bait, something Yu Jing doesn't do very well.

There are a lot of profiles with 4-2 movement. All of my MI for instance, I basically need plan to spend command tokens on them (Bolts and Bagh Mari). The difference is that Yuan Hao is there for fire support, you don't need a lot of MOV or plan to spend a lot of orders to get it into position. It stings when you need to but it's not a major downside, you can be in a good position to dominate the game from the start.

The size isn't that worrying. It also gives you an opportunity to abuse that slightly larger silhouette to catch others into your LoF. I suppose you could be in partial cover during your reactive turn, however locally it's more common to see more expensive models in total cover and shielded by cheaper units. Cover can be problematic, however same can be said for any other silhouette size. I've played on variety of tables where certain profiles had better effect than others.

CC isn't likely to happen. Walking Father Knight from one deployment zone to another would likely be tedious and unlikely to be productive.

AD and infiltrators are a coin flip, depending on the mission. Exclusion zones change a lot. NCA for instance greatly benefits from them and Nomads rage when they can't put their camo tokens up the mid table. It's doable, however on average I find it harder then before to assassinate a specific model. Not to mention it might also be complete waste of time as certain missions demand quite a lot of orders on specialists. However that's something that speaks of a mission design and how they encourage certain types of lists.

If PanO manages to hack you, while you're hanging in the backfield and under fairy dust protocol.

I'd deal with it the same way as TAG, target it in active turn and hope it goes down. However preferably ignore it and capture objectives, force the player to spend orders on other elements.

Looking like a midriff girl on bike for sure.

Yep, which is disappointing but eh. Hopefully the rest of whatever's coming isn't the same Bootleg reject crap.

Looks very similar to a (real-world) modern army motorcycle. I'm somewhat happy they didn't go for civilian Harley Davidsons.



Also a female silhouette with no hair possibly implies that they'll be wearing helmets.

Spoiler:

I think you're right on both counts. Although I'm guessing they will have moved on from diesel engines, not least on a motorbike, at that time in the future !

She's got a pump-action shotgun. Using one of those on a bike has got to be a pain in the ass.

One shot one kill!

I'm surprisingly...OK with yet another Woman on a Bike for INFINITY.

USARF? Is that supposed to be a dog warrior joke?!? I guess the Wulver Offensive Operation Force taken already...

United States Ariadnan Reconaissance Force.

For what it's worth, I was watching a BoW backstage video & Carlos is chanting USA!USA!USA! In the background.

Good. My buddy hates "fan-servicey" minis so I can pick this up without complaint of me stepping on his toes.

Not sure how you're so sure right now but...sure!

I'm sure part of that might be due to the miniatures they have already released of that nature being the best in the range !

Penethesilea at least, man I love that mini..

The person in the art has a pretty pronounced "S" curve to it's body- I'm not saying it's for sure female, but if a model is based on that art it's going to be more "cheesecakey" than others.

I can always paint her with skintights on. So get off my lawn.

Besides I also have the Penny reissue and I love that.
