AND WITH THAT, LET US LET THE RAGING HAMMER-PANTS/HAKAMA 'DEBATE' REST.

At least in this thread, yes?

Do we have any clue what the profile for the new Ahl Fassad will be?

Clearly they're going to be BIGGER now...

We know they have a HMG and LGL profile, with Mines and a Heavy Pistol...

Also heard the LGL has normal and smoke ammo. Sounds like a pretty great toolkit unit.

Al-Medinat is going to be...awesome!

Veteran 1 apparently from someone who watched the right video in time.

It is, but lets be fair. It always was going to be. It's where all Haqqislams money is, so it's where their best toys are.

The Sultanate is where all the money is. It is just well hidden

Found this on the official forums

Note the lower right corner. Pre-Orders are 4 July to ? August. I'd guess 4 August. I'd expect the price to be similar to Icestorm... maybe a bit more because of the S5 Al Fasid.

Yuan-Yuan is apparently Stephen Rao's evil twin.

EDIT: to add that the actual delivery will probably not be until late September at the earliest. Remember how overwhelmed CB was by the Icestorm pre-orders? ("We'll make 5000. That'll last us until year's end." Then 8000+ pre-orders roll in. )

August 9th is the end iirc. That's from the video you can already watch:

Totally Eddie from Charles and Eddie.



The practice of CB using someone famous as a model continues....

Operation Red Veil looks awesome.

All those pretty pictures for Red Veil seemed to have...disappeared!

Does some one have a list of what models are armed with what weapons?

3x Ghulam Rifle/Light Shotgun
1x Tuareg Sniper
1x Zhayedan Rifle/LGL
1x Khawarij Rifle
1x Al Fasid HMG/LGL, Heavy Pistol (box only)

3x Zanshi Combi Rifle
1x Hsien HMG
1x Zuyong Combi Rifle (or boarding shotgun, I actually can't remember this)
1x Tiger Soldier Combi Rifle Hacker
1x Ninja Tactical Bow (box only)

1x Yuan Yuan Combi Rifle (box and pre order only)

edit - something surprising I just noticed. The Zanshi have 2 females and 1 male. I can't think of another set of 3 Rifle line infantry that were 2 females and 1 male.

Looks like The Unknown Soldier is coming soon...

I can't tell what's going on in that picture. It's like... a pair of legs and then someone put super glue on the top half and rolled it around a bits box?

edit - oh wait, he's got a riot shield and a pistol. Now I'm seeing it.

Thank you -Loki-, much appreciated!

I only run JSA for Yu Jing, so I think I can only use the Ninja, if I'm not mistaken?

Yeah, the only JSA model in there is the Ninja. Though I don't think anyone would complain if you used the Zanshi as Keisotsu until they got better models.

Unknown Ranger is Captain America.

Who knew?

Lots of people; since his shield was mentioned in his Human Sphere fluff piece?

I still have them all - here (spoilers because there's a lot):



The Unknown Soldier looks awesome. I was dreading some really obvious cheesy pop culture reference.

Heh. The Ahl Fassed dossier is spelled like the unit currently is spelled, and they call it an Al Fasid in the promotional images.

Heh, his T2 Special Ammo CCW is literally his Vibranium... Tesium shield.

Yikes. Not one to care about that sort of thing too much, but I'm glad the sculptor decided to veer a little from the Tiger Soldier concept and keep her ass entirely in her pants...

Here is a flippy of the picture. "USA" becomes a bit more clear with that done.



I don't know why it is being flipped before leaking, maybe someone's idea of fun?

The first Ahl Fassed picture as flipped too. I guess the person doing these leaks is flipping them.

Maybe CB is intentionally leaking images to specific Warcors and using the flipping and metadata to see who's doing the leaking. Question is, will they send a Fiday or a Speculo to kill the leaker? Will that earn either a reculpt?

I'm wishing I had seen these photos before buying the ISS box. This fits my needs si much better as a vanilla player.

Oh well

Maybe, but its not like there was an issue with stuff being leaked before so that would be sending leaks to warcors just to see if they'd leak them... However I am down for both a Fiday and Speculo resculpt!

Are all bowmen(persons) in Infinity wrong-handed?

First the Hardcase, now the Ninja.

At least the Murder Monkeys have fluff reasons (plus people who haven't noticed freak out when I shown them their models are holding guns "the wrong way").

As a vanilla player, you'll want as much as possible available to you anyway, so the ISS starter is a great thing to add on to this set. The only issue comes from cheerleader redundancy. You don't need 3 Zanshi combis and 3 Celestial Guard combis. But I'm sure you'll put down the Pheasant, Crane and Zhanying at some point.
