Started with Red Veil. It refers to the Ramah Taskforce. People asked Bostria at gencon if that was the new name of the Caliphate sectorial, and he said yes.
To be fair, the current Haqqislam secotorials names are like this as well. I was going to impress you with my knowledge, but trust me. They're long and difficult to remember. The translations of the names are 'the People of the Gate' and 'Hassassin Victory', which obviously are not their official name.

January releases from mayacast are Order Sergeant box, Guijia Pilot, Haqq starter from Red Veil, Miranda Ashcroft, Combined Army 'TAG pilot set' (not sure what that consists of as CA only have 1 TAG that isn't Remote Prescence).

Yeah but they specified Guijia pilot, but then Combined Army TAG pilot set, indicating there'll be more than just the Raicho pilot in there.

That Mayacast news also means that this-- from the photo of releases, taken at some Con in Spain, is February's list:
-Yu Jing Starter-- Yu Jing
-Hassassin Govad HMG-- Haqqislam
-Moderators from Bakunin-- Nomads
-Sukuel Commandos-- Tohaa
-Tech-Bees-- Pan-Oceania
Just a heads up. Nota Bene: the plural Tech-Bees. The release is going to be a box of 4. And like most boxes, two of them are male. Banana Hammocks anyone?
A pilot set could mean 1 pilot with some add ons? Maybe the Raicho is getting some options?

Why would we need so many Tech-Bees?
Maybe it'll be a 'resculpt' of the PanO Support Box with a Clockmaker, Trauna-Doc, Tech-Bee, and one of those slavebots.
Either that or it'll be a blaster of two.

Pretty sure they just used the pluralisation as the name of the unit. For example, Odalisques. Buying a single blister Spitfire it still had the label Odalisques, because the pluralisation of the word is the unit name. Guaranteed it'll be a single blister the way they've described the unit working.

Does it really matter how many there are?
One in the Bootlegs was too many. Now we're getting it shoehorned into the PanO list because they wrote themselves into a corner in regards to the whole Remote Presence TAG thing.
Never mind that we still don't have any Engineer profiles that aren't just Machinists...

They probably will be, because they're trying to peddle specialists with TAGline.
But that won't matter, because they released such a crummy design that people at this juncture are pretty notably divided on it. There's many who felt that they should have left the "LULZNOPANTS!" crap on the Bootleg sculpt, but for whatever reason they decided to bring it into the general range.
Personally? Not touching that unit or model. It's fanwankery and ridiculous.

The difference is none of those were explicitly mentioned as design ideas pre- N3.
Bolt Engineers were. Bolts were supposed to have Drop Bears on the Engineer profile, which was the phrasing used to describe why they didn't get the Engineer during the run-up to N3.

A lot of those things are faction unique stuff though. Engineer is a universal specialist type that is necessary for some ITS missions/objectives and PanO have 1 option. I think it's a pretty valid complaint and having more engineers would hardly make the factions more homogenous.

No, it will be a box. Tech-Bees have Warcor like profiles (cheap points, irregular orders, but can link with a machinist to become regular, and give the machinist a boost to his WIP rolls when it uses the engineer skill.) 2-4 tech bees and a machinist make a fire team. I forgot what this type of fireteam will be called. It's all related to the new campaign rules that are being playtested.
The big reveal is on December 28.
Peace Out all.

Making them a link team seems needlessly complex for what are essentially a WP buff. Could have just added profiles with 1-4 of them and made them function like Tinbots.

I simply want another profile with an engineer skill and some decent gear. However, at least having options and dare-I-hope more unique faction specific abilities would be a positive step. Would be cool, if they'd have assault pistols instead of a standard issue one. Wonder, if TB is going to be available to all sub factions.

Oh, now I think I know why there is a LOCKED marker in the Season 8 Tournament box! Could it be that remote presence TAGs get "pilots" too? And with that marker you will be able to show that the Pilots (G: RP & Manned) are locked in their TAG so they cannot go out and do propable specialist stuff anymore?!

So, Dire Foes 6 acquired as a Christmas gift from my brother. Leila Sharifs arms are as bad as the Tuareg in Red Veil. Arm holding the gun basically has no keying - it attaches at the elbow with a strange V joint but there's nothing else to make sure it's at the correct angle and what seems like it should be the correct angle doesn't match the supporting arm. The supporting arm is keyed with a square peg, but the peg on the torso is much smaller than the hole in the arm, so it offers no guidance. Spent the day putting it together and got it almost right, which will have to be right enough. I really wish CB would sort this out. They have some models with fantastically keyed arms, like the Zhanshi and Ghulam in Red Veil, so they can do it. Then they do the Tuareg and Leila. I had less trouble putting together 15 part Malifaux models.
