The dirt and colour scheme does make me think CA.

... How? CA bases are a Aqua dirt. Armour is red and black.

Reddish dirt, tangly, viney vegetation and camo green points to Haqqislam or USAriadna. Black panels points more to USAriadna.

My guess is Blackjacks followed up by possibly the Maghariba. Might as well Wishlist.

It just does, nothing more than a gut feeling. Could also be due to the shapes though.

Well it'll be a female miniature as the battle high heel suggests. So maybe a Blackjane

It ain't Blackjacks. Blackjacks, as of November, did not have anything beyond their name and potentially their statlines done. They still didn't even have a dossier as of November.

The armor style also isn't Ariadnan from the looks of it though. It looks more Yu Jing in style.
Interestingly though if you compare the base to those of older models from SAA, it's a closer match than it is to the USARF or Haqqislam bases. Maybe it's a Merc?

where are you guys even seeing a base in that pic? I can't make heads or tails what I'm even looking at. It just looks like a rusty lump.

It's a rusty tactical rock.

They like to try to be "clever" with the sniper shots.

It's at a weird angle, but if you look at it as though the subject material is a leg, you can see the base vegetation.

Base is in the background of the upper left corner (vegitation). Its two lower legs one at an angle with a tactical heel on it (top center of pic).

Coloration reminds me a lot of the Maghariba Guard concept:



The olive-green armor color along with the white marking in on the bottom right of the 'sniper shot' is just like that of the Mag Guard concept.

Of all the factions to let their stuff rust a bit, the rugged Haqqis and Ariadna fit. It looks way too mechanical to be Ariadna unless it's another variant of a Traktor baggagebot or something for USAriadna or Mercs?

That base might just be a background decoration unrelated to the model itself. With the way the shadow is, it's decently far away. Either unrelated, or the model is *big*.

I think this is right. Needs to flipped 90° counter clockwise. So the green bulge on the bottom right of the current pic is the calf and the area of detail at the top is the combat heel of the other leg.

Going to gamble on something merc related. Would love it to be Haqq but I have no clue as to what it could be.

Okay, now I see it

Data-Sphere has the first preview of the month for the retail release of Le Muet.

Huh. I actually like that sculpt better than the exclusive one. Always bugged me that he wasn't modelled with the sniper rifle.

I was hoping for a hat to complete the Cad Bane look. Oh well, still a nice looking figure. It's about time the CA got to have a Merc that isn't an exclusive.

Think he looks amaze-balls!

Will have to see from some other angles but certainly doesn't look to be a step down from the exclusive figure.

Just to make a guess, the body is the same sculpt as the body of the limited one? The MULTI Sniper Rifle gives him a better look though.

All alternate sculpts do this. Even the ITS ABH sniper, which had a general release as a biker, was the same body/legs with different arms and a bike.

Le Muet seems to be the obvious one, I didn't observe it on his predecessors

From Mayacast, Feb releases:

Le Muet,

Su Jian,

Hector,

Bandit,

Alternate Devil Dog (with Heavy Shotgun arms)

Assumption is the same body on the Devil Dog or is that confirmed?

A Su Jian, eh? That must be what that sniper shot was after all. I'm curious to see what direction they took with its redesign.

Speaking of the Su Jian, why isn't it classed as a TAG? It seems like it should be since aside from transforming, it's the same concept as a PanO TAG. And wouldn't it also be around the same size as a Gecko? So, its smaller size shouldn't exclude it from TAG classification.

The same reason the have what should be REM but are HI instead. Hyper advanced robotics.

Hmm. The profile and fluff for the Krakot Renegade is up. Apparently that thing on his chest is actually a "Chest Mine." I would assume then that they can blow themselves up. They also have something called a "Red Haze."

Hector? Wasn't he opposed to the Greeks and Achilles?

What are the odds this is some Nomad- or Haqq-made character to try to kill off the pretty boy?

Unlikely, why we call A.S.S. the Greeks, it would by more correct to call it the Heros of the Trojan War. But, that is a month full.

Red Fury. It was also on the dossier for the Xeodron Batroid shown at GenCon last year, apparently some kind of spitfire like weapon.

Penthesilea was also opposed to Achilles and the Greeks. Then again, she is one of the biggest outliers of the ASS in terms of stats.

All the Myrmidon characters were strictly on the side of the Greeks in the Trojan War along with Teucer, Eudoros, and DIomedes.
Atalanta, Alke, and Thamrys were separate stories unrelated to the war that did pretty much something similar to what their Infinity counterpart does (Archer, Protector, Storyteller respectively.)
Acmon was a Dactyl, Scylla was a psychopath betrayer, and Drakios is just a name.

Hector pretty much is a guaranteed ASS model. Considering how important he was to the Trojan War and how CB actually does their homework (with artistic liberties). He was supposedly a really good leader and a fighter on-par with Achilles (minus the divine invulnerability). Considering how he was a leader as well, he might have his own Enomatarchos group with a new unit (finally). Considering how much the Trojans loved their walls, maybe it'll be a HI group.

Plus, Hector was confirmed for Aleph a while back on a Mayanet podcast or something. It'd be silly to put him in the Vedic stuff.

EDIT: Found the podcast: https://waywardwarcor.wordpress.com/2015/11/07/mayacasts-bostria-interview/

Can't see what on that list would match up with the painted Sniper shot. Must be for next month's.

The speculation is that it's the Su Jian. The basing material kinda lines up with YJ models.
