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.

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

And that's precisely why the AVA won't be higher than rumored.

Because Vanilla screws everything good up.

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

That would be pretty terrific. I had written off Shasvastii for now, as the army won't be properly reintroduced until Archeron Falls.

With my above question, however, I was more thinking other models in the line that haven't been digitally sculpted, and are now looking a bit outdated. Models like Riot Grrls, Bakunin Moderators, to name a few.

Riot Grrls can get a resculpt after Corregidor's stuff that they screwed up.

Those models were a trashfire to begin with and the concept (Girls with Guns and Attitude!) was awful.

Wait, shas are getting their much-needed resculpts before getting the fancy new rules? Huh, I figured that'd be the other way around with some more sygmaa and umbra until then.

That's speculation. We've seen nothing about Shasvastii getting resculpts this year. The Onyx First Contact Force and Morat Aggression Force will likely have the lion's share of CA releases this year.

Okay, thanks. Good to know too, the MAF and onyx stuff has been nothing but awesome so far.

Morat is more or less finished and Onyx already has quite a bunch of new miniatures...

Morat are FAR from finished. Remember that their range was getting a revamp, not just the Vanguard and unreleased/recent releases.

For Morat, at the very least, you are looking at:
Zerat
Suryat
Rasyat

Throw in Hungries, since they're a big part of MAF and you have quite a bit of work left to do.

Onyx has at least one unit with no sculpts; a heavy weapon toting Batroid variant. Can't recall the name but we got dossier on it last year.

With the Umbra Samaritan, the only Onyx units we've heard about so far that don't have models are the Overdron and Xeodron.

EDIT - and Hungries are already resculpted.

And?

How many Hac Tao variations have we been through recently?

Hac Tao have had one resculpt/redesign.

Two.

They went from their previous design to a "resculpt" of the previous design with new proportions, and then a final one that matched the N3 art.

New Releases

Col. Voronin





Neoterran Corporate Executive




Kanren





Dragon Lady





Tariqa, High counselior




Midnight Sun Analyst





Umbra Samaritans





ALEPH High functionaire

Does that mean two releases of the Ariadna miniature, or one with options/spare Antipode?

There's only one SKU shown, so presumably it's one set with an alternative arm.

The latter, I imagine. There's only one product code.

Samaritans is absolutely brilliant and makes me question my dogged allegiance to the SEF

- Salvage

Means exactly what it means.

Vanilla is an anchor around the neck of the various Sectorials. Because of Vanilla, we have stupid crap like AVA6 or 8 instead of AVA Total on certain units.

Sectoral armies have different Availabilities from the main army, so I'm not sure I understand your objection.

Whatever the objection is - or isn't - please take it on down to the Infinity General Discussion sub-forum.

Thanks!

Pretty excited about the HVTs, but damn, I hate that pig.

Some great releases this month, although I have no idea what that pig is about. I love that CB is doing things like the HVTs, which help remind us that Infinity has a setting where civilians live their lives, as opposed to all war, all the time.

The Nomad analyst has a fascinating skintone; I'd love to see a recipe for that.

I've actually wondered when the pig will make the appearance.

1. I want a baby pokemon cow thing.
2. Failing that, a giant wolf.

Definitely two new releases I will be picking up this month!

So the wagon wheel was the umbrella. Really love that model. Might get her before the one for the factions I own.

Does that Haqq lady have a "Cube"? Is this the first artistic representation of what a Cube looks like?

Also, the Umbra Samritan has a new special ammunition type called "Vorpal". I wonder if it'll auto decapitate and kill on crit.

It's a cube, but I don't think it's a Cube. Where would they implant it, after all?

Yeah, I always imagined it'd be much smaller. It might be a cubic containment vessel for a Cube, however. Also, it is a Haqqi that's holding onto a Cube, and they're pretty good with that Silk stuff.

Is it just me, or does the Neoterran look like Handsome Jack?
