Guys - when is HS actually due to be released?

Do people already have their copies?

People that went to Adepticon have it.

Last date I saw was May 29th delivery.

Really? Mines currently due to be dispatched on May 3rd. I guess you're in the US but will it really take the best part of a month to reach you?

Yes, that does seem to be the case.

We're usually about a month behind whatever month CB thinks these things get released in!

Hope you make your discover roll then, before you get into their ZoC.

The Army builder is to get the Human Sphere update between 5-8 May, supposedly. That may be an indication that HS "officially" releases at that time. Give a week or two after that for copies to reach the pre-orderees. Unless CB is caught flat-footed with the number of pre-orders....

Hopefully they update the wiki at the same time.

IIRC it took a while for the wiki to be updated for N3, but then, you'd hope CB learned from that and have been spending time prepping everything to upload when the book hits shelves.

Can anyone please tell me what the miniature on the left is, in this new article on the Infinity website? I don't recognise it.

Su Jian combat form. The new version.

Although the place I ordered it from says "estimated release 12th may" so I'm guessing the dispatch date on my order is wrong.

Out of curiosity, who's that from? As far as I'm aware, the books aren't due to arrive at the UK distributors until the 9th.

It's from Element Games, but as I said it says 'released 12th may' on the actual website so the one in my order is wrong. I did order it the day it was up for preorder so it might have been an earlier estimate or whatever.

While the Wiki is now hosted by CB, I think it still maintained by a fan. I think it is IJW so maybe he can answer if it is ready for the change over or not.

Man these guys have lousy BS. Awfully expensive units & only the Hsien shoots at BS 14.

I'm still gonna have to get this starter. They're all great minis.

Hsien & ShangJi need a resculpt already. Jeez. They're by far the best looking HI for Yu jing.

Price is up for the Maghariba locally. $87au. Geckos are $60au, Gorgos and Iguana are $56au, and things like the Raicho, Avatar, Guija, etc sit at $53au.

I'm expecting a seriously huge, heavy lump of metal here for that price CB. Don't disappoint me.

It's going to be at least a month as I was away for most of April.

It overlaps a 70mm base in several directions and dwarfs a (new) Guijia. It's a seriously huge, heavy lump of metal.

First, you put it in a sock, then you hit them with it

I doubt it will be that heavy, since most of the pieces are hollowed out, at least according to this article, http://infinitythegame.com/article.php?id=183

I'm hoping that it will end up as a MM deal of the day. Right now I suspect it'll be normally $67.19 at MM.

So what's slated to come out this month?

Cool, but still not enough to make me start up another faction!

May:
Bashi Bazouks
Kosuil Assault Pioneers (this will be the Boarding Shotgun profile as the K1 Combi Rifle profile has a model already)
Xeodron Batroids
Uhlans/Tikbalangs

Miyamoto Mushashi
They showed two different variants:


Onyx Army Pack

That's what is scheduled for May.

Lots of unfortunate 'Tactical Detritus' for the Uhlans...

Nobody really knows what it is.

Current speculation that I, personally, am a fan of is that it is the remnants of an orbital entry vehicle used to rapidly deploy the Uhlan to a warzone(only thing that really makes sense considering the debris has the Uhlan insignia on the bottom).

While I suppose that is actually nice and fluffy, I'd still prefer it not be there!

I guess there's a chance that it won't be necessary, but that pose really does seem to require it.

Base might add the additional balance (harder to tip over) and pinning sockets for the legs. I'm really interested how they imagined the assembly. Hope they'll also spoil the Tikbalang soon.

So.. an Infinity Manga has been confirmed? Heck, that's one gaming tie-in that I might actually read!

There's going to be a manga? That's interesting. The game does seem to take inspiration from Japanese designs.

Is there word on who's the artist and the writer?

Er...what?

Where did you read that?

On the facebooks!

¡Manga de Infinity! ¡Por fin!
----------------------
An Infinity manga! At last!

Yeah, I am behind that. Looking forward to seeing how chunky this is going to be. And whose perspectives it is from.

Looks so great, love that pic in particular.

My HSN3 was meant to be shipped yesterday apparently but their shipment was delayed so they haven't got it yet. I've seen on Facebook some people have it.

I'd have preferred more euro style in their manga. I hope the story will be interesting.
