Think there is no other reason than that!

We know that the sculptors often just go with what they like the look of or if something is cool, think it's no more than that.

Could be the orange visors that give the MSV2 (as we all know, orange tinted visors can see through camo and smoke)

Well they all have the orange visors, only the MSV1 profiles have the binoculars so it would be a bit of a coincidence.

It is. There was some speculation going on for awhile now that they had "special" binoculars done ala the Magnoculars from Star Wars(the things Luke uses in The Empire Strikes Back on Hoth) where it's a longer box with a single lens.

EDIT: Removed. Old News.

We saw that at gen con. But yeah the new SMG looks very good.

Someone on the Infinity Australia FB page kindly pulled this data from the recent seminar. Not sure if it's been shared here yet:

- They are facing the current problem: their sculptors work faster than the speed of designs. The new book follows a correct and normal pace regarding contents, playtestings of lists and sculpts. But it's suffering from artistic designs. Designers are overwhelmed between the concept arts of the new upcoming troops and the ones with plans of resculpts.
- The Manga has moved to the phase of adding dialogs text and titles in english and spanish.
- Modiphius Rolebook is in the final phase. A great delaying factor has been CB's approval.
- Due to the great success of Operation Flamestrike they have started tossing ideas for another campaign next year. They're aiming at March-June.
- Think of Techbees mechanics more like warcors.
- Confirmed that the Specialist order sergeants box is HRL, hacker, combi + auxbot;
- They have started working on the artistical redesign of Caledonia as the range is getting resculpted starting next year.
- The Name of the Rodina sectorial featured in next book is "Tartary Army Corps (TAK)". Veteran Kazaks will be able to form mixed links with Line Kazaks.
- The render of Riot Grrl isn't showing the antennae.
- Pilots from manned TAGs might become specialists in some missions thus being able to disembark in order to accomplish mission.
- They plan on releasing Nexus when they launch a second wave of Spec Ops. Most probably there will be a Grunt spec ops before Caledonia's resculpted starter.
- Gutier is adding more specific rules for Tohaa in the next book, despite next book won't feature many new rules, Tohaa are the exception.
- O-12 and merc sectorials seem unlikely in the next book. O-12 would need a complete redesign as the tested profiles date from the times before fireteam testing.
- JSA and MO sell so well that there're no current plans for resculpts. Caledonia is next.
- Scarface isn't part of Druze, actually he formed part of Druze but ended in bad terms with them.
- Hsien Multirifle is already on Angel Giraldez Desk.
- Daikini Tactbots as well as Vedic are not on the plan as of yet, so it could still be a while.
- Blackjack is not planned for 2017. Caledonia will be first.

Dakini aren't planned for what? A Resculpt?

Vedic aren't planned for what? A separate sectorial? What will Aleph get then?

What's Nexus? Is that a unit or an expansion?

About the Tech-Bees, when the Bootleg one was originally shown off, I thought she was pretty reminiscent of a Race Queen. You know, the scantily clad girls who are used for racing promotions? I'm not sure how prevalent they are outside of Japan, but they're pretty common there. Anyway, I kind of figured the Tech-Bee played a similar role, acting more as a promotional tool than an actual soldier. Based on that info, it sounds like that's pretty much what CB are doing with them.

Nexus Operative, new Onyx Force unit that will also be the Onyx spec-ops.

And here's the Bashi Bazouk.

Updated the post I made on the 12th that had the blurry dossiers with new, better photos.

The Raicho is woefully obsolete and in dire need of a resculpt. The posing is super stiff and awkward, there's something weird going on with the rear skirt armor that makes it look like the hip armor is clipping through it, and the biggest problem of all is that it's out of scale. Even the smallest Infinity figure couldn't fit in it. The operator sub arms are closer to 1/72 scale than proper 28mm.

Okay, so either wait for the resculpt, or make it w/o the arms and make it look like the pilot is totally in the one area big enough, the chest, maybe the head is a big helmet then?

Also, would be a nice challenge to see if they can make a female Morat bare faced, mask off, see what they are like under those masks.

I've wanted dismounted TAG pilots to be specialists for a long time, to give a reason to purposely dismounting. So that's good news. Annoying for those with Ghost operated TAGs but at least those have the advantage of being immune to Expel.

Bashi Bazouk, very good. I, for one, am glad to see that CB will still do the 'just landing' poses. They forgot them for a while. (q.v. the Akalis) That paint scheme is off somehow, to my eyes. It doesn't do the mini justice.

The Tech-Bee would be fine if it were cut in half at right below the belt and the torso were put on the lower half of the Acont Regular or Fusilier. I always think of the greaves as iconic equipment for Pan-O, moreso than a beret. Its mechanical arm is a bit too Year 40,000 for my tastes, but not a deal-breaker.

Bazouk does look a little rougher. Angel has his apprentice doing some work so that might be the reason.
Great mini though and the only profile I've used so far.

Should be a few female fusiliers floating around from Shae if nothing else. Would be easy to fudge the connection with pouches even if your green stuff fu is rudimentary.
I like the arm as non-personalised gear. Something that you pull off a rack and strap on at the beginning of your shift.

It's really an opportunity for 3rd parties to break into infinity with tiny pants conversion sets...

Am i the only one bemused by even more Fractaa...?

Gorgos pilot finally happening is nice to see tho.

I rather like the curved blade that they seem to be giving Haqqislam now ever since the YuanYuan. Looks like a Turkish Kilij.

The older blade that Saladin, Kaysim, Janissaries, and other have had in the past look more like machetes.

Marauders:

So, while others have been arguing over binoculars and goggles, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that there are currently no rules for HMG Marauders.

I mean, I realize I'm new to Infinity, so maybe they do this all the time, but REALLY?

Is that maybe supposed to be a Molotok? You know, which they can actually be armed with?

You're probably right. They tend to typo occasionally with the recent YuJing TrippyTrooper being labeled as an Aleph release before being changed.

Weapon looks more like an Ariadna Molotok than a HMG anyways.
Ariadna Molotoks have that triangular front sight assembly and a forward-swinging magazine. HMGs tend to have a chubby box magazine and a longer barrel.

It looks like the Molotov on the back of the Marauder and not like the Grunt HMG, so I think it's just mislabeled.

second language, innit.

MM's black Friday stuff is up and has plenty of infinity including Red Veil and Ice Storm

http://www.miniaturemarket.com/searchresults?q=thanksgiving+sale&utm_source=Miniature+Market+-+Full+List&utm_campaign=0df9b34f27-Thanksgiving_Week_Sale_2016_11_18&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_be5b9f7f95-0df9b34f27-25015257&mc_cid=0df9b34f27&mc_eid=331f217f20#/?_=1&filter.category_hierarchy=Table%20Top%20Miniatures%2FInfinity&page=1

Icestorm and Red Veil are great deals.

I found the rest of their sale stuff very lackluster.

The previous 2 sales were definitely better.

To be fair, wasn't the last sale called "Bigger than Black Friday"?

It's a good price for Red Veil, but I think I'd rather pay the extra $4 from Gamenerdz and not wait the 3 weeks it always takes MM to ship sale orders

I'm actually glad this one was lackluster. I bought a lot of stuff on their last sale and it set my queue way back.

Red Veil at $65 is a nice deal, and I can wait a few extra days for it to be shipped. I have plenty of minis to paint already. I'm wondering if it will have the Yuan-yuan. MM still has the Druze Hacker with the HSN3 book, or so it seems

Sheesh, those Marauders... Like the Cadian Guard but sculpted in proper scale/proportion. And the goofy tech priest arm on the Tech-Bee. CB, discipline your sculptors! Or your concept artists. They be trollin' us all.

Those Marauders shall be mine!!!!

Any ideas waht (who) this could be? It looks pretty armoured though thus I don't think this will be the new Sin-Eater

Just got my PDF download for Dire foes pack 1, I like the minis, and the mission,,,,,Poor Angus, seems he always has the worst luck!

I'm going to go with the Morlock from the same Bakunin starter. I think were looking at all the segmented Nomad gear rather than armour.
The Sin Eaters cloak/coat also cuts down a lot more dramatically at the back.
