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."

"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.

/Exalted.

It's just an upvote system. CB ditched the karma system years ago, when I still lurked on those forums-- late 2012 I think.

We know that ITS2017 will be an 'evolving' event. How it could be a narrative event, I cannot guess. It does sound interesting though. I suppose that we will hear more next month, but the Hype train has been running for over a month now. "Hype-fatigue" should start setting in soon. CB needs to start revealing more. I do not think that BoW needs to be involved in the ITS.

Now, how do TAGs factor in all this?

Now that is what I want to know.

Here's the video from Interplanetary called "TAGLINE".

It has some language issues, but it's also hilarious.

Also, Guerilla Miniature Games(Ash, you still around?) released this today:

I cringed, I smiled, I loved it. Reminded me of those old Command and Conquer FMVs before a mission. Can we have an Infinity video game starring Bostria?

Didn't GW used to do stuff like that?

Also Zanshi look really good.

So that's what happens when you get 2 female rifle LI. A sausagefest SWC box.

Was surprised myself too.

After resisting for years, I recently bought the rulebook. And on the day it arrives ... that vid ...

Great stuff Manchu, hopefully you will enjoy!

Those Zhanshi look bloody awesome, think one of the biggest jumps forward when compared to the original sculpts.

Great video, really looking forward to more!!

This is good news!

Welcome to the game!

I also pre-ordered Red Veil. Pretty excited! Glad I did not see the vid first lol.

I wouldn't read too much into the movie. CB just seem to be trying their hand a viral advertising for something. It's been very clumsy, but they're persisting.

The film is the start of ITS this year as their organized play will be a narrative which this is the introduction to.

Alive, the viral marketing game their doing, might be related to this but it might not.

Don't worry too much about stuff like that...Infinity's release schedule is wonky. The Zhanshi box is intended to be an add-on to the Yu Jing half of Red Veil.

Got notice that my Red Veil has shipped (hooray!) and the SWAST has shown up online.

edit* I like it but it does seem to have a major CA vibe to its design

Looks more Tohaa than CA. Looks really Ectros-y. Like what the Ectros should have looked like.

Maybe the Nomads stole some Tohaa tech.

Maybe some Bakunin sexual deviant got furry with a Tohaa.

There was discussion on FB about hims hovering, but this pic shows it much better, he has fancy faux-shoes above his real feeties. I like it.

Does look very Tohaa. Also a tad small. I'd like to see it against another model.

That's just the way it is painted (looks orange like the Tohaa muscle suits). If you painted the hex undersuit black and the big bulky parts red, it would look like the Mobile Brigada's beefy big brother.

Also the horned head is quite Tohaa but the colour scheme is probably part of it yeah.

I love it but S5 HI is my favourite thing in infinity so there wasn't much chance I wasn't going to like it.

Uh guys, it's mobile brigada armor-- with a yoke and some odd footwear. How on earth are you seeing tohaa. The horns are not even tohaa-esque to my eyes-- too flat. More like the 'horns on the Bolts.

Thing looks a bit like a bipedal bull. Nice running pose. It's a keeper. Not a fan of the paint scheme though.

My first reaction was Tohaa...the paint scheme is a big factor in that.

I agree, the head is probably a big part of it.

Looks ace though, the Nomads have got a pretty nice selection of HI now.

Why are people talking about Mobile Brigada armour? That's clearly a heavily modified Gecko armour. The legs are almost 100% Gecko legs... but the chest and arms are way smaller than the Gecko and no pilot strapped to the chest, so it's a tactical Gecko armour.. A Nomad terminator armour...?

Isn't the Gecko a TAG, while SWAST is HI? Don't know what the Gecko is, but the SWAST is only an S5.

Geckos are S6, but also potentially slightly undersized because of the way that they did the Corregidor stuff.

The legs are a fair bit different, and also a lot smaller than the Gecko legs.
