Oh, I meant having enough drop bears for Bolt loadout too.

Truthfully, they've not sold Drop Bears with anything beyond that Tabitha cosplay model. Nobody gives a crap either--they're just special grenades/mines.

Well clearly Knight...gives a crap?

Maybe so, but I think some of the people(not Knight specifically) comes down to thinking Drop Bears are like Crazy Koalas or Tinbots.

CB never seemed to plan on releasing a model for them, since they're deployables that are mines and stuff.

Preview time!

(We haven't seen this yet, right?)

They just posted that up today, so it's news to everybody!

Remember that the 28th is not the ship date; it's the start of preorders etc etc.

I don't think anyone would object, if certain deployable equipment would come as a freebie. I'd like to see generic repeaters as well. I can represent them with a token, however as far I know, certain companies manufacture alternative to camouflage or holo projector. If CB doesn't want to do it, or finds it a hassle, I'd gladly give it a thought to the possible alternatives. If the price would be too high, they can keep them. Mind that I don't desire it for any price or care as much. I can understand not wanting to do it because it's not that relevant and keeps the production cost down. However I don't think Nisse hacker has any increase in price when compared to other models. Maybe instead of tactical rocks, CB could add equipment once in a while.

Tohaa with nano screen. Interesting times ahead. I hope we get more spoilers.

That already exists, the Rasail boarding team as them.

Other than the dynamic pose making this one stick out more, it seems to be roughly the same size as the others.

I'm sorry but I don't follow that logic. General releases, especially newer HI models, are starting to go well over the S2 size and now this model is being released and he's not even close to the S2 scale, not even if the silhuettes should represent "a general aproximation" of the models size.

But who can complain when the miniature looks this gorgeous?

Excited for Human Sphere! Looking forward to some updates to my vedic Alpeh!

I forget, is this the one where we'll finally get the Svalarheima PanO sectorial too?

Please?

Not sure. It's either this expansion or Archeron Falls? that we get the 10+ sectorials...?

As far as I know, Vedic are dead in the water.

Svalarheima Sectorials are still on point for Acheron Falls for both PanO AND Yu Jing.

I see what you did there!

Funny, but sad...

Dammit!

Full sectionals with a Naga in the pic, unless they are sneaking in the O.S.S. at the last minute is kind of a middle finger. There are so many other models to pick from.

But, yeah HSN3 will be the sectional currently in both HS and Paradiso books. With the french replaced with the U.S. and the S.E.F. replaced by Onyx.

It's the same exact video from about year ago except with a "preorder March 28th" added onto the end. Nothing else was added.

Naga are in the Shock Army of Aconticemento sectorial...and have been since Human Sphere v1.

But, yeah HSN3 will be the sectional currently in both HS and Paradiso books. With the french replaced with the U.S. and the S.E.F. replaced by Onyx.

Just to be clear, HSN3 contains the following Sectorial lists:

PanOceania
Military Orders
Shock Army of Aconticemento
Neoterran Capitilene Army

Ariadna
Caledonian Highlanders
USAriadnan Ranger Force[NEW]

Yu Jing
Japanese Sectorial Army
Imperial Service

Nomads
Corregidor Jurisdictional Force
Bakunin Jurisdictional Force

Combined Army
Onyx First Contact Force[NEW]
Morat Aggression Force

Haqqislam
Qapu-Khalqi
Hassassin Bahram

Tohaa
Everything released to this point[NEW TO THIS BOOK AND WITH POTENTIALLY MORE PROFILES]

ALEPH
Steel Phalanx[NEW TO THIS BOOK]


We've known for a LONG time that OSS is something that they've been waffling on, same thing as Black Hand. They've said "there's not enough there" or that "there will be too much crossover between Sectorials" in both cases. As it stands right now, the definitive list of Sectorials for "Acheron Falls"(the project name, not necessarily final book name):

PanOceania
Svalarheima
Varuna
POTENTIALLY an "Earth Bastion Army" list

Yu Jing
Svalarheima
Invincible Army(Heavy Infantry gone amok!)

Ariadna
Kazaks
French revamp

Haqqislam
Caliphate(Super Soldiers!)
Something that is going to be biker heavy(I can never remember the name, and I don't have my notebook where I had it written down anymore). I want to say the Sultanate?

Nomads
Tunguska
POTENTIALLY Black Hand

Combined Army
Shasvastii revamp

Tohaa
We're supposed to see a Tohaa Sectorial based upon the pre-Triad forces. Can't remember a name there off the top of my head.

ALEPH
OSS was bandied about for a long time, but it's also possible that it's just dead as a project.

Mercenaries
Last I saw, there were two (potentially three) Mercenary Sectorials we were slated to see.
Beyhan Resources, Limited(Haqqislam based group--they run the Kaplan Tactical Services. Think of "Mercs with Morals")
White Star Concordat(Druze, Senor Massacre, Scarface--if they're Mercs with a bad past they were slated to be here)

Hope that helps everyone get an idea as to what might be where.

I'd like Earth Bastion to be a real thing. I wonder, if they'll throw more information about it in HS or RPG.

The other Haqqislam sectorial is the Gabqar Khanate (Qapu Khalki is the Sultanate)

So do I but I like to see it fall under the O-12, if for no reason that PanO already has a extra sectional and the fact earth is not controlled by just one government. Plus it by a good place to show case units of the lesser non space fairing government left behind on earth.

Hope we get new Djan sculpts this year. Doesn't seem likely that we'd get Khawarijs or Zhayedan until Acheron is closer.

Earth Bastion Army by name has been mentioned prominently in Campaign Paradiso, and describes the apparently huge force PanO has stationed on Earth. I'd assume the equivilents will exist for the other factions (such as perhaps YuJing's equal is actually the Invincible Army).

O-12 is slated as next faction.
OSS needs some serious love.
There's apparently some sort of speculation on a Chaksa based sectorial?

---

Also, so very excited. Samaritans showing up the way they have really do increase the plausibility of CLANDESTINE ACTION TEAM LOCUST, who have the neatest alleged statlines ever.

So is ALEPH like the stepchild faction with only one sectoral? Go Steel or go home?

 MightyGodzilla wrote:

Tohaa have none.

Aleph have the OSS, Operations Sub Section. It's the covert arm, opposed to the ASS, Assault Sub Section, more commonly called Steel Phalanx. The OSS was rumoured to be in Acheron Falls, but word is it's been pushed back.

Honestly, I hope they get working on it quick smart. There's only so many more Trojan War heroes they can add to the ASS, and Aleph is getting a tad boring lately.

HS Pre-Orders begin only 3 days before the start of Adepticon, where the book will be physically available. Hmmm.

Al Medinate is the name for the Caliphate sectorial, FYI. Khawarij, Zhayedin and a few others (Tuareg, for example) will be in it.

Well, duh...Kan!

Djans are sure to come out soon, I jsut started my conversions of them...

Note that no one from Corvus Belli has claimed that Human Sphere will be available at Adepticon.

I wouldn't be surprised if CB had massive previews from the book, and had production proof copies on hand, though, since CB did say they wanted to do something special.

With the HSN3 release pending, do we have any indication/ rumors of other existing models scheduled to be resculpted?

Even if Vedic doesn't come out as an official sectorial yet, we will still get updates in human sphere. I am looking forward to new Post Human rules especially.

I do hope their AVA will be higher than rumoured, however if Montesa gets better it could lead to some interesting pairing.

You mean besides Shasvastii getting a massive resculpt this and next year?

At best we will see pre-production HS or the very first test-run. CB never started pre-order that close to delivery.
