You can see the Dog-Face's two feet at ground-level. Plus, the Dog-Face is way too far back.

Aww. No Warg cavalry. Damn. Hopefully they'll be wearing Tesium armor at the very least.

And a cowboy hat.. in she-wolf form... in a cheesecake pose... 10% out of scale... just to see the reaction in this thread. Come on, Carlos! Whip up some quick concept art to whip up the thread!

Ok if the werewolves are wearing jeans and cowboy hats I might cave on a set.

I'm not going to say what that looks like!

Yes, I am that immature

Here I was imagining something akin to the original transformers movie where the junkicons rode the motorcycles, and when they crashed the motorcycle transformed into the new rider and the previous rider became the motorcycle.....just with werewolf Calvary.

Going by Corvus Belli's own fluff, there was no Marine contingent in the settlers. It was a Ranger security detachment.

At the same time when USAriadna was established doesn't mean that they can't re-establish other parts of their military that they didn't take with them. In terms of fluff the USAriadna marine corps could have been re-established specifically for dogfaces that wished to serve in the USAriadna military. Both in the models and the fluff this is not the first time CB has done something like this, just look at the new 45th with faces taken straight out of movies like Braveheart and the 13th Warrior. In addition to an Aleph recreation of William Wallace for...Caledonia (the Scotsmen of infinity) because wearing tartans into a futuristic combat setting makes so much sense and is not hamfisted for that sectorial army.

Just recently the 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion was renamed to the 1st Marine Raider Battalion a unit that only existed for 2 years in WW2.

There are elements that are less influenced by pop image. I sympathise with the view that wishes to see something more fluid or rather something you might expect to see when an isolated society needs to face the challenges on an alien planet. I don't see a problem with naming regiments or adapting a loose structure after some historical inspiration, however I'd like to see them named after something new too.

It's Junkions, no c.

I was kind of hoping we'd see the rest of the June releases today. Hopefully they'll put them out tomorrow.

Supposedly they will have them tomorrow, but...

Beasts of War have posted some 'TAG Deathmatch' rules PDF as part of their Boot Camp week.

Looks rather fun! Definitely a cool Manga-feel about it with robots flying about gibbing each other, will have to see if I can get enough TAGs together to give it a try..

That could be a laugh actually. Only have one TAG atm though.

I didn't know Marines used to be called Devil Dogs, so it's definitely clever to me.

The German Soldiers of WWI reportedly called them that after encountering US Marines for the first time at the battle of Belleau Wood.

Dear CB, just show me this Janissary Box and its surprise already. We'll see more than enough of USAriadna from GenCon in 31 days.

Wha...?!?

How is this possible?!?

You're clearly not doing it right!

Unless, of course, that one T.A.G. is a Jotum!

I play Aleph and Haqqislam. Between the two, there is only one TAG that looks awesome and one tag that is due for a really awesome update (soon).

Count me as part of #TeamOneTAG

Most awesome TAG I have is the Jotum. It may become the 2nd most awesome TAG when I get the Maghariba Guard. We'll see. I would have mentioned the Tikbalang/Toni but I don't think we'll ever get that.

The Seraph or Uhlan is coming soon. Probably the Uhlan. NCA sectorial

Any idea how soon is soon? The two share the same chassis, right?

I thought we were getting Seraph first? Either way I'll be happy. I've already got 5 TAGs and an unoffocial Zandris TAG, I have no problem adding more that list.

Tohaa are tempting.

Tinbot is a cutie, liking the looks of the rest of the Jannies.

No Idea when .Mikes. I think the proverbial soon. But the rumour is that one is coming and it is not the Tikbalang.

Oh look at that tinbot. CB is getting a might cutsey with these little helper minis, eh? It is a cool little piece though... And, BSG Janissary as expected. AP rifle Janissary as expected but it is has a medipistol too, and, mirabile dictu, what might that ( Possibly a female?) Janissary be carrying? A missile Launcher A new profile. And they fixed the the chicken legs that the HMG has. Nice. I like these Janissaries much better than the HMG mini. This is a pretty good box. Yeah, I want it.

The Tohaa just keep going from strength to strength.

Oh my, I didn't even notice the tits on the ML, now that is a well executed femail HI that gives only a small visual clue about gender. Though on looking closer it seems the legs are a little wider too. I can approve of this.

Carlos said on one of the videos the tag rules would work just as well with heavy infantry, possibly better.

I do like the Igao, I'm not sure if its the colours and way he paints the Tohaa, but they always look fantastic to me.

That Tinbot is adorable.

So there's three surprises in there.

A tinbot. A doctor! Finally a non-Ghulam doctor model! And a new profile, a Jann with a HRL, that is also a female.

I like that box. It does leave the question though - how do you make a full link with new Jann models? I'm assuming that, with the Hunzakut being the only non-redesigned model in the starter, a new generic Haqq starter will be on the way with a redesigned Jann AP rifle, redesigned Ghulam, and something to replace the Naffatun.

Definitely some cool models there.

Ugh... I'm torn. I like the models but they are even different from the HMG Jan much less how far from the starter Jan they are (which is my favorite!). So a link is going to look really hodgepodge.

I wish they didn't feel obliged to put female models everywhere. Granted that one doesn't have her midrift showing or bending at the waist to pick up her gun or something idiotic. But it's a bit annoying. Hopefully it's not noticeable on-table.

Igao chips away at my resistance to collecting Tohaa. Nice model for them again!

I'm not seeing much different other than the shoulder bits being a bit higher on these.

What's wrong with female models? I enjoy the variety. And they're, as said, sexing them up less these days.

The new ones seem to really have bulky legs, bulkier torso (the gray things over the shoulders are MUCH bigger), and the heads seem lower on the torsos somehow. It may all be the single shot vs. a group shot angle. Just concerned they'll look different when run close together inside a Link ZoC.

As for females, I'd just prefer male models mostly, at least for the HI. I'm a pig lol.

The new ones have bulkier legs than the HMG one but his are too thin anyway and the aesthetic is the same. They'll look fine as a link. And there are way way more male HI models than female. We have what, one janissary and Joan of Arc for females..?
