Some very, very nice looking new concepts.

Does anyone have any inkling on what range the lady sitting on the crates is likely to be from?

Pretty sure she's from Dire Foes.

That is correct. She is supposed to be the HVT in the upcoming Dire Foes 6.

Brilliant, thanks guys.

Unfortunately missed the pre-order window for Red Veil, but hoping there will still be some Ltd edition miniature sets kicking around in stores (as there was with Human Sphere)

I would be exceedingly surprised if there were not, as Corvus Belli considers the "preorder window" to also apply to retailers just ordering their stock as well.

Are we expecting anything from bostria this weekend from Nova?

I had the impression that he was bringing a surprise related to ITS2017. Other than that he'll probably give a re-cap of the Interplanetario presentations.

Yeah, it'll probably be the same presentations. In english, presumably.

The surprise seems to be some of the new Scarface minis to be given to the tournament winners.

Ah, for those interested, the new ITS packet is available. Article here, and download link at page bottom http://infinitythegame.com/article.php?id=226

It appears both the new Bakunin starter and the new Aconticimento starter will have only 2 rifle LI. I wonder if this is a new design trend and the Red Veil starters will be the last with 3 rifle LI? I regularly field 3 basic rifle LI, so this change is a bit surprising.

I don't think so. He mentioned in the GenCon seminar that both the Bakunin and SAA starters were 'unusual' in their composition, implying that 3 rifle LI is still the 'usual' composition for starters.

I'd like to hear why they decided to pack it like this. Regulars are simply the workhorse of Acontecimento, but more often than not you don't want them as your heavy weapon investment. Sniper could have easily been another LI model. It would be awesome, if Regulars would be repacked in blisters.

Maybe that is the intent, get the 2 SWCs in the Starter box, then buy 1 Box of Non-SWC Regulars and a Blister for the final SWC option?

I expect to see a hacker version as she comes with pandas. Otherwise I think it's unlikely to see Regulars in blisters or a box. Unless they do specific minelayer figures, it would make me very happy but find it unlikely.

I'll never understand the decision to stop selling the cannon fodder grunts in blisters. Do people not field more than basic grunts? What if I want ro field five?

Because reasons.

Honestly, I'm right there with you. I wanted to go Bolt heavy for NCA but it just wasn't feasible once the 3 model blisters sold out.

I know it's not an ideal answer (and really CB should be selling them separately) but a good option is Shae-konnits split box miniatures, which are very reasonably priced. Especially the grunts, as people tend to want the more exotic individual pieces from those sets.

He has a thread down in the Infinity section of the board for anyone not aware.

The old Imperial Service starter box only came with two Celestial Guard with combi-rifles (and another one with a boarding shotgun).

Most standard basic line infantry units don't come with a standard shotgun profile, but CGs do.

So, as a heads up it looks like the "ALIVE!" campaign has been more or less figured out now based on a specific WarCor getting all defensive when someone criticized the concept of it being another interactive Flamestrike styled thing tied to Beasts of War.

Are you basing this from the "So in the end ALIVE?" thread on the Infinity forums?

Coz I have definitely come away from that thread's recent posts with a lot less of a solid feel than than how you are presenting it in that post.

Yup.

SO...what are the actual details?

From what I can see...

FatherKnowsBest posted "Killian was quick to defend that approach when I commented that I hoped it had nothing to do with anymore beasts of war. So maybe that was a give away. "

...So someone was defending something they are involved in (Beasts of War / Flamia)

To which Pride of Rodina responded with "He was also quick to give me an "upvote" (I guess that's the technical term, right?) the first time I mentioned my theory on a narrative ITS season too once we found out that HellLois was in charge of the ALIVE thing and I don't think I've ever gotten an "upvote" from him before."

Thanks Vain and Kan - much appreciated!

"Karma/like" based systems are horrible, it deprives an individual evaluation of an argument. More often you're going to find promoting group (circle jerk) propaganda than anything useful.

Don't besmirch all the Fat Yuan Yuan comments.

Yeah...Killian isn't someone given to "upvote" things that are from people outside of the BoW fanbois.

Pride of Rodina isn't one of them, in my experience with his postings.

What a horrible expression, I wish people wouldn't use it. :(
