I'm in the same boat as Pacific with no clue what the skittles or LMS is in reference to. At first i was trying to figure out how Marshawn Lynch was connected to Acmon. All I know is that I'm expanding out of my Caledonian sectorial and adding to my Steel Phalanx...

One thing I noticed is lately I've needed more than a few pictures to fully understand and like some of CB's new miniatures; some of the ones that use can't show the "full character" of the miniature, things just look off until I see another angle showing more of the motion/stance of the figure.

And yeah the Tiger Soldier design is amazing. I think I prefer the BSG model (which I just ordered the other day) but the Spitfire profile is probably more useful.

CYCLOPS!



Now I want to buy it just for the laughs every time I see it.

Aww shucks.. now I kind of want one...

I could see the Devil Dogs being released in 2 boxes, each with a different DD profile and antipode. The AVA for the DD team is 2 in Vanilla, and 3 In USAR.
Yes, they don't care if you get extras, but a full 2 extra models for AVA 3 in USAR is quite a bit extra cost that you cannot use whatsoever.

If I were a betting man, I'd go with a single profile box for each profile.

Remember: Teh Awesome Bostria seminar is at 11:00am-1:00 PM EST tomorrow, Saturday 8/1. It will be live cast on http://www.twitch.tv/doremicom

So yeah. right arms, but whatever!




Really looking forward to tomorrow's seminar - I think I saw that someone (Doremicon?) was taping it/live streaming it?

I don't think so...but am I missing something?

No. The dismounted minis of Yojimbo and Kasym Beg are a bonus. Nice to have, but not needed. Now, you could always wait for Miniature Market to offer the Army Box as a deal of the day. You won't get the dismounted Maverick, but you'll probably save an additional, what ~$20 or so. I'm currently debating the matter. I think I'll wait for the Deal of the Day.

The TwitchTV thing, it'll be archived as a VOD for a while too? I hope so. AH, here it is...from Doremicon, he who is recording the seminar,

Log on to my twitch page: http://www.twitch.tv/doremicom at 11AM US Eastern Time (which I believe with Daylight savings time is -4 GMT) this Saturday (August 1, 2015). Carlos (Bostria) has agreed to answer 2 questions (if they are good questions) from the room at the seminar’s final QA Section from the live stream. If you miss the live stream, I will be posting it on my YouTube channel when I return from GenCon.

So, if you miss it, it'll be on youtube. Cool.

Hmm.. if it shows up as a DotD on MM... I may have another moment of weakness. I'm pretty much auto-buying anything Infinity they do that's within my 4 factions/sectorials, it's hard to pass those up at the price. Heck, I almost jumped onto a second icestorm at the $55 during that one day sale... getting them so cheap at that point you can hack them up for conversions

But yes.. news... seminar... anticipating.

I love/hate the Miniature Market Deal of the Day - love it for the savings, hate it for my lack of willpower!

But I certainly do appreciate when they get posted here in this thread!

Geckos are AVA 4 and I made that exact argument for the boxes to be a single profile doubled up...

You get "two extra models", but that's not how CB sees it. They see the two models as a single profile. It's like if you want a Deva with Devabot for NCA or the other G: Sync units where they are available, you have to buy the boxed set of 4.

Same. Already own it but damn if that price point wasn't tempting.

It's a good thing there were other purchases to be made.

I'm just lucky my brain didn't take the 'you already want another mototronica pack' angle or I'd probably have bought the stupid thing. Disregarding the 10 or so dollars the pack is discounted... that's just a bit over $3 per mini, per brand new CB Infinity mini... shoot.. I just hope it doesn't come up again

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a second Father Knight...

You can... eventually. And given the number of profiles for the Father-Knight, a third and a fourth and a fifth. (Combi Rifle, Boarding Shotgun, Spitfire and Missile Launcher in all probability.

I have no idea when CB will release the box though. Same for the Reverend-Healer, but that will be 2 blisters instead of a box-- I would suspect. We will see them eventually.

They had those decks at the WarStore booth at GenCon in the multi-deck dispenser (the cardboard box with the slot to get the decks out one at a time). I got half way to the cashier before I realized I was supposed to buy just one of the decks, and not the whole box.

From Cervantes3773 on the official forums...

August releases: alguacil hacker, grunts swc box, tiger spitfire, acmon- Dactyls officer

Sept releases: nisse hmg, domaru, hunzakut, CA drones, kosuil assault pioneers (tohaa), Navajo terrain pack

Seminar is live, and has about an hour left. Video will be up after GenCon for posterity according to Doremicom.

Acmon has a Panzerfaust and twin Breaker Pistols, apparently.

C'mon Dactyl Enomotarchos! (Yes I know Dactyls don't have linkable, but I can dream right?)

Kasym Beg and Yojimbo dismount from their bikes quite a bit. Most of the time I see it used to climb/enter buildings and get in CC with something nasty with a good position. Probably won't need it for the Maverick since they're not CC monsters although you might need it if you want to hop off to walk through doorways.

Merovingian Rapid Response Force is being moved to Acheron Falls.

As well as Shasvasti.
USARF will be replacing MRRF, and Shasvastii will be replaced by the new EI First Contact Onyx Force.

EI sectorial with the new CA box army, awesome new drones/remotes.
Very large heavy weapon REM's, and new redesidgned Drones.
Also, new EVO Devices, that are actual models that count as Hackers with their own program lists.

Just saw the render of the Seraph and dossier for the new Guija on Facebook... Oh my:

Those are both sexy TAGS. Seraph is the only tag for the Knight sectorial (military orders?) right? Seems pretty cool. Does it have combat jump, given the wings and angelic name, or are those just ornamentation on the back?

It is the only MO tag yeah, and no they're just ornamentation. It does have a g-synced Auxbot though.

I'm really glad I just picked up some YJ stuff, the new Guija looks incredible. Much better than the old one.

Guija, now!

So much better than the Staypuft Marshmallow TAG it's replacing.

With all the YJ releases that we've been getting over the past six months, I'm surprised that everyone and their dog isn't playing them!

Yu Jing really needed some lovin' of all the old factions they had aged the worst.
I hope the new Domaru kicks ass. A tiny guy full of fury, the chain rifle Domaru is one of my favorite minis in the range.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Lots of new photos popping up on FB.

New CA remotes



New CA meanies (IDK what they do)


Looks like a Yan Huo type unit for CA


New Domaru


Some Haqq Units




Proof that the Azra'il suit does indeed contain a human being


Nasty looking Tohaa beastie


Tohaa guy with dreadlocks

It's not a Guija if it doesn't have freakishly large steroid thighs!

Holy crap, mechathundercat got posted!

Doesn't skip leg day?

Surprisingly liking the new Tohaa units. The Mutan Symbiobugs in particular; prefer the one without the guns though. And all the remotes.

Okay the new Tohaa stuff is making my want to start Tohaa, I already have 4 factions in various stages of completion!

Everything looks amazing. I'm like a kid on Christmas right now.

So... gonna be getting the new EI stuff, those heavier batroids are pretty sweet! When someone said earlier that EI 'replaced' Shasvastii, were we talking about in the order they were being done as in Shasvastii got pushed to Acheron or w/e, while EI was moved to soon/now? Just don't kill my freaky pod peoples like you did the crab dudes!

I'll have to see a painted example of the new CA drones before I know if I like them or not. I mean, they look cool in theory I guess. I dunno what could be cooler than the crazy floating tentacle-having drones that exist now. At least for Shasvastii, those drones fit right in. This newer sculpt certainly does seem to fit better with the Batroids and probably Morats though.

Yeah Shasvastii are pushed back to Acheron Falls, primarily because they're getting a Morat style overhaul. Morats went from being the worst selling models to the best selling of the whole range for the past year with their redesign. The 'First Contact Force Onyx' is replacing them in HSN3, that's your EI, Umbra and Sygmaa. Their sectorial logo looks really sweet.

Guys, guys: stop talking about all that boring crap. Concentrate on the new Haqq! Finally, new sculpts for the Hunzanuts. The super-jumping Khawarji's getting a missile launcher sounds totally hilarious. I think also that I am going to have to change my underwear after seeing the Bashi Bazouks and their little wings.
