The Moira? The foot in the foreground is on what appears in the render to be a tactical tombstone. But no combat heels. (Which even the Riot Grrl has. Oi CB, you scamps.) I'm not sure it is anything Nomad.
Shas, More like poor Bipandra. In the background, and in the game. But a nice set and scenario.

I'm also pretty sure that this is no troop of the new Bakunin starter. I'd assume someone from Yu Jing or MO thes guys are quite prone to cloaks/coats/etc.

Last month Haqqislam got the Al Fasid HRL, this month Leila Sharif and Bashi SMG? Two fantastic months in a row. All we need is the Govad HMG next month and it'll be a perfect storm of hot releases.
The Bashi SMG is a fantastic unit for so few points. Leila though. I've used a Hassassin Barid KHD the same way Leila should be played and it did super well, so removing the Pitcher (which didn't get used) and adding a Shock Marksman Rifle for a few points is great.
The fact that she can Core link with Ghulam in QK and Ghulam and Muyibs in HB is just icing on the already very tasty cake. She's going to be a very popular lady.

I wish I had gotten two of the GenCon ones. Then I could just nab one of the new ones, greenstuff over the hole on the back of the model(the attachment point for the shield is the same as the GenCon one for the rifle/machete) and have him rushing forward hipfiring a Molotok.

So that preview we saw from the tournament a while back, that listed Moderators from Bakunin as a release, refers to a box of just Moderators then? Cool. I wonder if the Lollipop moderatrix stays. Bunny ears did.
January or February?
Order Sergeants-- Pan-Oceania
Miranda Ashcroft-- Mercenaries
Guijia Pilot-- Yu Jing
Haqqislam Starter-- Haqqislam
Raicho Pilot-- Combined Army
January or February?
Yu Jing Starter-- Yu Jing
Hassassin Govad HMG-- Haqqislam
Moderators from Bakunin-- Nomads
Sukuel Commandos-- Tohaa
Tech-Bees-- Pan-Oceania
And now December
-Bakunin Starter
-Hsien MR -Tuareg Hacker
-Posthumans box
-Unknown Ranger-- Already seen, hailing a cab, or pulling the cord on the bus because his stop is coming up...
Looking forward to the painted Tuareg, and the Bakunin starter.

Interested to see what the new Order Sergeants will look like,i assume the rest of the range probably won't be redone though as they are fairly recent?

Been enjoying working on the new Suryats, my scheme may seem odd or eccentric to some

Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

Interesting colour scheme, certainly effectively alien and stands out very well!
Cheers for that ImAGeek, have to say those look bloody awesome!
Would be quite cool to make some kind of fortress monastery in a forest terrain setup (kind of nicked from Dark Angels 40k idea, but with more of a near future/hard sci-fi feel)

Thanks Pacific!
I have to say Infinity has great sculpt detail work, although at times they seem fixated on certain poses and reuse them a bit much.
Interesting concept there.
I still wonder if they will ever master female Morat faces for some helmet-less female figs?

I like the more battle-ready look of these guys. The female proxies looked a little too civvie for my taste. Does this set actually replace the old one though, or will they both be in production together?

This set are the Mk4 (Armored HI) and Mk5 (MI). The older box set is the Mk1 (LI), Mk2 (TO Camo), and Mk3 (Mobile HI). They're all separate profiles for the same unit meant to be used together.
If you look at the fluff for the Posthumans, they're somewhat supposed to be civvies. They're essentially a consciousness that can jump between bodies, and being able to fit in with your environment fit the aesthetics rather well. The Mk5 looks cool and fits as a male version comparable to the Mk2. The Mk4 looks like a completely separate unit altogether fitting in as almost a divine figure of sorts.

I believe it was said that the Military Orders sell so well as is that they see no reason to resculpt them.

Love the bikes, they've managed quite a good combination of something that looks like it is plausible, but not too high-tech (looks like a conventional combustion engine for instance, rather than the electric-looking Nomad or Aleph ones).

I hope that's the case! Definitely think they are fine sculpts, and stand up well even compared to the latest ranges.
It is a right and wrong answer at the same time, MO need a resculpt they are out of scale with the rest of the line, that been said they sell so well despite it that their resculpt is not a direct priority, in contrast with other parts of the line.
