Mavericks have been out for awhile. This month's release(December release in January) is The (far crappier general release sculpt) Unknown Ranger for USARF.
Here's a handy release guide:
-Bakunin Starter
-Hsien MR
-Tuareg Hacker
-Posthumans box
-Unknown Ranger
We've seen renders for all of these, and we've actually seen two of the releases so far(Unknown Ranger and Posthumans box) fully painted. Taco Bell had UR and GMG had Posthumans.

It's adorable to see the shoe on the other foot. Out of spite, I hope they don't do any resculpts for MO and you end up being another Corregidor.

You realise I do not mind, right? as I don't mind for Corregidor, witch is a faction I play a lot.
Yes, they need resculpts to go into the current design but there are more pressing and immediate sculpts and factions that need attention, since MO and Corregidor sell well better focus on the models and factions that do not.

Hmm. I thought the MO sculpts were fine. Some of the knights are a bit weedy, but there's no real problem with them. There's other stuff more in need of resculpts, like the Raicho or the Keisotsu.
Back on the topic of the new releases, I wasn't feeling the Hsien resculpt until I had him in hand and painted. I'm really looking forward to the MR version. I also don't mind adding another Tuareg to my army. I don't remember what the sculpt looked like though. Would any of you fine gents happen to have pics of his render on hand?

Order Sergeants needed a box set, tho, so using a resculpt to make that happen makes sense.
So many games, so little time.
So many models, even less time.
Screw it, Netflix and chill.

Thanks for that. It's kind of funny, aside from the rubble, he's in the exact same pose as the original hacker Tuareg. I don't see any obvious hacking device or visor, so he should work great as the medic profile as well.
I think his backpack is the same that the sniper has, just bigger. This guy'll be the most over dramatic medic though. I'm thinking that with some minor mods, he can be made pointing instead of doing his best Wuxia impression. Throw in an S&R dog for good measure and he'll make a pretty badass medic.

I'll check when I get home but I'm almost certain that's the same backpack as the sniper Tuareg from Red Veil, which is assumed to be the TO camo device.

Pretty sure the PanO "Not The Face" still wins most dramatic medic pose.

It's not the Haqq Hack Pack, at least it's not the same as the Govads. It's a bit weird as they've made a point ofor distinguishing hackers with all the recent releases.

The PanO medic pose is the most misunderstood pose in the game (and rightly so) she is calling for a stretcher her palm has a strobe-light in it.

The top is different from the female Tuareg and has those cylinders at the side, but yes a Caliptra would be more obvious would make re-purposing more difficult though.

Oddly it appears to be exactly the same as the Sniper's backpack just larger and upside down, made me wonder if I'd assembled my Toureg correctly but I couldn't get her backpack to fit the other way round.

Regarding the information we got before there are only 3 to 4 (Lt. Moira) SWC crammed into 127 points.
They should've given the Riot Grrl her deserved missile launcher to maximise the SWC to Points ratio for a starter set
WYSIWYG that's the composition of the starter set

Well, with a few changes one'll get a quite viable 150 points list though.
here some of my thoughts:

The old box had maximum 1 SWC and three Moderators to instantly form a Fireteam. Thus you didn't need any proxying in your first games and you were also able to win
Nope. We got the render photo, so it could be anytime from January(the first month we do not have a release schedule for) to...whenever the hell they feel like it.
There's a strong possibility for January or February though, since they put a thing up about TAGline again.
