Oh sure, Haqqislam gets an Autocannon but when I suggested Geckos getting an Autocannon profile I was a madman...

Agreed. Geckos cost too much for just an MK12 and Combi rifle profile considering they have all the vulnerabilities of TAGs with the armor of only HI.

Dare I say this looks like it might be a doctor.

She's holding what looks like one of those med-kit pistols

It looks like a normal pistol to me. She's in a very hacker pose though.

Better pics of the YJ and Haqq RPG chicks:

Why oh why is the Haqq civvie armed? Kind of defeats the purpose of a civvie. Otherwise it looks like a nicely detailed mini.

The MB is a hacker mini. Box of four, we saw the first 2 from GenCon, now we see these 2. So, no tinbot in the MB box.

They aren't civvies, they're RPG characters. The PanO one is armed too.

Wonder, if ORC will also gain ML version.

So with these slides, I'm left asking...

Did we get any news about N3:HS? Will there be new sectorials for factions? or just USAriadna and the new CA one?

When is the next big CB news event? Isn't there a 3rd one coming up next now that we're done with GenCon & Interplanetario? Perhaps another BoW week?

How did they do with the initial sales on the USAriadna box? I know I wanted one, but in the end resisted the urge to start a third faction... I'd imagine it didn't sell crazily like Icestorm.

Icestorm came before a major edition drop and contained 2 of the most popular factions. USAriadna box is a one faction affair and there's not nearly as much buzz about N3:HS on the horizon.

Doesn't sound like we're getting more info.

So yes, all we know is the sectorials and units from HS and Paradiso will be in HSN3, with the exceptions of MRRF and Shasvastii which are doing a swap in Acheron Falls with USAriadna and First Contact ONYX.

The lack of hype around HSN3 is odd, but maybe they're taking a more conservative approach considering the bad feeling not including that content in the N3 main book caused?

Feelings? Maybe they still haven't activated the hype train for HS N3. Either way, I'm fine with the silence.

Yeah my money is on the Hypetrain still being fueled up ready for departure closer to the release.

As a fan of FFG's and X-Wing in particular, I am totally fine with a limited time hypetrain rather than waiting for your new toys you first heard about month and months ago.

I suspect an Infinity Week on BoW, probably at the end of September, when CB has a better idea about when they can release HSN3. Remember, CB just moved, and went all out to get to GenCon and to host Inter-Planetary. That is quite a bit for a small business.

Hmm...
They aren't even sure they will be putting out HSN3 by the end of the year. Last I heard from Carlos' seminar, was that they HOPED to have it out by the end of the year.

I'd not expect to see them hyping it before mid Fall some time, if not closer to Winter. Say... 3 months or so before release?
That gives them plenty of time to do pre-sales, and start putting out info in a controlled stream for the actual release.

I'm thinking that USAR sold well. Lots,and i mean Lots, of locals are picking up the box. And on FB groups, lots of people in the US are getting it.

I just want my box to show up so I can start painting.

Ditto :( Not expecting it before Septemberish.
I really would have liked to have it for the tourney we have coming up this weekend.

Alas.. tis not to be :(

If you guys are quick enough and Miniature Market's servers don't crash, they've got the Gecko box for $27 and the Fusilier SWC box for $18 in their summer sale. There's also a few smatterings of blisters marked down to about $6 or so.

Hey, they've got them for the price Geckos SHOULD be!

Too bad the dual combi loadout is a useless tax on the only way to get a Mark 12 in Corregidor.

Well, I'm happy to pay that much for Geckos. I agree that they should cost that much to begin with. Also grabbed some Shasvastii and a Ragik, too. I would've liked to have seen more line infantry boxes, remotes, or TAGs though.

Heh, I'm sure some people will look at the same way at Tikbalang/Uhlan box. Although that should be easily split between general/SAA/NCA players. Depending on the N3 profiles.

I wonder how forward deploying TAG is going to work out. Sounds really cool, however should it have BTS 3, it might have trouble using the most of its deployment.

The Tikbalang/Uhlan box, as you mentioned, "should be easily split between general/SAA/NCA players"...the Geckos aren't really in the same boat.

I lucked out and found someone who wanted a pair of dual Combis and we each bought a box, then traded each other the variants we didn't want.
A NCA or SAA player, however, can use both by simply deciding to play Vanilla or adding a starter/proxying certain things(anyone who tells you they will not let you field Fusiliers as Regulars, for example, is a toolbag) they can play a different Sectorial.

Gamesquesters have an interview with Chris Birch at Modiphius talking a little about the Infinity RPG (amongst other things, KS Thunderbirds, Mutant Chronicles...). It's right at the start.

Nice find - thanks for sharing!

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm already fairly irritated that the release schedule is being futzed with because they need to make bloody Kickstarter exclusive models for this dumb RPG.

I've no problem with it, mostly.

Could they 'do things' better?

Sure!

But I still vastly prefer CB's style, output and overall INFINITY-ness to...just about any other company out there!

Plus, I'm psyched for the RPG too!

I'm really curious about the RPG. I've never actually played a pen &paper RPG before, and I'm reaal interested to know how much it will integrate the regular tabletop rules. They said there was supposed to be cross compatibility between the RPG and the regular game, so I assume there will be some degree of overlap.

I suspect as well that the "exclusives" will be like the recent Joan figure in that they'll be exclusive "versions" of the figures with altered versions for mass retail. If that's the case, hopefully that means they'll be working on both types at the same time so that there won't be a huge delay between the between the release of the KS versions and the retail versions.

Even better would be if they made tge RPG figures Bootlegs and that they didn't affect the regular releases.

The issue there is that "Bootlegs" still affect the release schedules.

Not seeing an "issue" here.

You'd think they wouldn't since Bootlegs were meant to be a separate line. What month will they be messing up?

In regards to the RPG miniatures?

Unknown. We have the Russian guy confirmed to be a Kickstarter exclusive, but the others are meant to be bootlegs associated with the RPG release from what has been said.

The Nomad guy is definitely a KS exclusive too.

Wha...?!?

The Highlord has let you down!

(Actually, who is the older brother? That's the one that let the other one down! )

If it runs like their other KS, you're looking at around $225+ to get 'everything' in print, maybe?

Everything in 'PDF' is significantly cheaper, but...I like real books!

Not really. They said at the Interplanetary they'd be exploring other ways to get the models done for the kickstarter as well.
