Save the GS. Just use Flirty Fusilier as a proxy.

That is a banal profile. Bolt level banal. And over-costed. Nonetheless, the flash pulse could prove entertaining. That's about it. Consider that the 3 point #arcor also gets a flash pulse, and a 360 degree visor for 3 points. And it gets a new rule too (As if there were not enough of those already. Infinity: the Game needs to stop eating the Lo Pan noodles and drinking the Pulpibeer. )

It's basically a Tohaa Diplomatic Delegate with worse stats that buffs Crabbot and Machinist WIPs just by existing on the table. Because it does that, you're not likely to use it as a Specialist itself (it's got typically terrible PanO WIP) or put it in harms way to use its Flash Pulse (it's got a terrible BS).

You pay for it, stick it as far from harms way as possible, and hope you don't leave it there when you pack up to go home.

It's functional and does its job, just from a gameplay perspective it's really, really boring. A 5pt Machinist/Crabbot upgrade that can be removed by the enemy shooting it.

Or as a 0pt irregular order battery?

So many models, even less time.

You can't spend orders on a civvie. Check out the Civilian rules for more. That profile is there to use the mini as an HVT, for example.

Meta must be radically different out there, I foresee her been the "close to base" objective grabber here as is the delegate, her 12 WIP been in line with many PanO specialists and Flash pulse been a decent defence (also it uses WIP not BS) as usual she is cheap enouph to worth risk her especially the last round and cheap enouph with a good enouph defence (Flash Pulse) for the opponent to have second thoughts about risking a high attack model been disabled by her for a turn.

She also boosts as mentioned Machinists and Crabbots.

I don't really like the cartoon flame base. The other arm set and plain base is fun, I'd be tempted to use him as a civilian or something.

It's the same base model right, I'm not missing something am I?

Has anyone heard if they're getting specific in-game profiles, or are they regular Yuan-yuan?

If they're just normal guys, then I'm really going to have to get my QK built and painted!

Looks like Chainrifle and CCW, so regular Yuan Yuan, well, regular in the sense that they fit recognizable profiles.

Yes, do want. A very, very cool mini.

We hear about the Adepticon deal on Monday? Or, at least more about how to get these "jewel-like objects of magic and wonder..."

In regards to new profiles...I am hoping there will be an eventual
Merc Faction/Sectorial that can run AVA 5 Yuan Yuans (The white star one with the Druze/Scarface is a likely candidate)

I currently have 4 Yuan Yuans, those being the Lady, Red Veil Jesus, converted Ragik with cowboy Hardcase head and a Yuan Yuan in stolen Yu Jing Tiger armour for when someone gets armour in the booty chart.

I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't get new profiles.

What I want to know, is where are the SJWs?

We've got a mini that makes fun of obesity, has the word "fat" in its name (a word that some people will find deeply offensive) and it has a bare midriff!

The only thing that it's missing is the combat heels!

Come on, you're letting your cause down, people. Shame on you.


In other news, looks like Operation:Flamestrike 2.0 is happening.

So, Beasts of war weekender has an interview with Carlos where he talks about various things, including this years campaign.

It will run like the one they did with Beasts of War last year, but this time it is set in space.




Carlos is on at the 36 minute mark

Agreed. They need to stop, pull the product, and apoligise for not using those sculptors to do Blackjack and Locust models. In recompense for the irritation caused by having so much fun, neither of these are to have tactical detritus, nor are they to be in any pose other than a combat crouch and aiming down the sights of their guns. Neither is to showing a bare midriff or be wearing combat heels, female or not.

CB aren't allowed to have fun with their releases. They are to toil away at what a vocal minority thinks the entire community wants. No excuses.

This has to be one of the worst uses of clone legs in the world and one of the most hilarious releases ever. The eating one is a legit great model and somehow makes Infinity feel more real by simply existing. Not everybody is doing eXtreme poses all the time.

Standing around, in the rain eating some takeout, not actually guarding the smuggled weapons your boss wants to sell, only to get ganked by some dude in ten million dollars worth of optical camouflage and servo armour...with a sword. Now that's cyberpunk.

Nothing in there was aimed as SJWs, just the people that want nothing but hardass 'realistic' military types doing nothing but standing around aiming their guns.
