Guess I have to get a box all to myself.

At least we now know the Al Fasid is Caliphate. Happy to admit I was wrong there.

Ok, I should be more precise. I meant "the extra mini in that picture"

The LE mini is a Yuan Yuan...

So much HYPE!

I see some similarities there...

Normally, I couldn't care less about Yuan Yuan.

But, what the actual f***?!

Wow...

New Spec Ops.

Blown away by all this

Loving everything so far.

Are those spec ops a new dire foes box? The mad traps are too cute!

Haha. Haqqislam Spec Ops has a Shock Marksman Rifle. Yu Jing spec ops has Shock Immunity. Looking at just the profiles and equipment, the Yu Jing Spec op is strictly better. Be interesting to see points and any special equipment or rules listed on the points lines. Might be some hidden upgrades there like Yasbir had.

Love the new models. The new Ninja is my favourite. I also love how piratical the Yuan Yuan looks.

It would make an interesting Dire Foes box.

Also.... explosive Cow-bot.

Yuan-Yuan as the LE mini. Odd. Not a universal Merc like the ABH's. But useful to me as a QK player. And a very nice sculpt. The question though, is that Yuan-Yuan worth the additional (guess) $20-$30 or so that pre-ordering Red Veil will cost over waiting for a deal of the Day offer?

That was the Al Fasid after all. Hmmm, Wonder what the new profile will be like (apart from the weapon load-out) to distinguish it from the Azra'il.

Both starters look pretty good. I may have warmed up a bit to the idea of painting the Yu Jing minis; they do look nice, and well-posed for the most part. Snake got a face transplant, and a weird tactical wedge . He looks a bit like Harrison Ford now. (Circa Raiders of the Lost Ark). Zhayedin turned out very well. Tuareg and Khawarij are excellent resculpts. looks like neither of the female minis have combat heels. Cool.

The terrain: The playmat looks pretty good. Still 2'x3'? The buildings appear to be twice as high as the Moto.Tronica terrain. And a skywalk? Sweet. Four large ones are visible. Four shipping container sized ones too. (Lo Pan's noodle hut. A round-about way to make the snake (Kurt Russell) reference. Still, doesn't make up for Snake disappearing... This terrain is much nicer than the Icestorm set.

The spec ops certainly look like they'll be a Dire Foes set, or the Gen-Con exclusives (Get Red Veil and both Spec Ops sort of thing).

How embarrassing for BoW too.

Someone claiming to have watched the whole video is claiming that it IS Dire Foes 6,

And they don't say what the Civvie is? Gentlemen, fetch your pitchforks and Torches, we have work to do.

I'm definitely in for that Dire Foes box then.

Welp. Bye money.

He said no Civvie was mentioned.

Carlos recommends Dire Foes 6, Mag Guard, and Guija to expand on Red Veil, in the video.

A Celestial Guard with flamethrower and cute madtraps? Do want.

So.

I'm on my honeymoon at the moment.

On a boat.

My wife is currently trying to work out why I'm staring at my tablet, glazed look in my eyes, bit of drool coming out of my mouth...

I'm having a very hard time figuring out what the most exciting part of this infodump is.

Just tell her you're looking at porn, but don't disclose what type.

Ninja with Tactical Bow?

Smart.

Tell her the truth. Then put the fricking tablet away and enjoy your honeymoon.


Looks like the Haqq spec op is govad based (Govad armor) and a wizard's staffkiller hacking device. A clue to the civvie?

Omg! The Haqq half of the box is full on win! Looks like my worst fears are realized and I'll have to get another $100+ set. Maybe Gamenerdz will have this with the preorder figure?

So it looks likr I was right. The Ahl Fassed is taking the role of the Azra'il in Al Medinat. There's probably a lot of stat/gear/cost overlap with the Azra'il in vanilla as there had been with the Janissary.

I really like how the Zhayedan turned out. I'm going to need more pics of him and the kawarij.

Statement is no civvie; just the Dire Foes.

Well so far the Ahl Fassed has a pretty unique loadout in that he has a HMG and LGL. They also have access to Mines.

The Ahl Fassed looks to have lost most of their original loadout. Hopefully they'll retain the Panzerfaust option.

Is the lower Yu Jing HI the new shang-ji, or a zuyong, or what?

It's 23:00 on this side of the pond! It's getting late!

Oh...

In other news, Carlos seems unhappy. (judging by his Facebook reactions).

Well, there's also something for them to be happy about. They've hit the big leagues where people are willing to put time into leaking their stuff.

Yeah, thats what Shae said.

...which were?

I'm guessing upset about the 'early leak'?
