More, BoW previews, luckily they aren't as bad as they used to be.
Edit: And Giraldez posted the second set of Fat Yuan Yuan pictures. The previous set I posted two pages ago if anyone is looking for them. Again more angles in his facebook album.

I just got the new Raicho pilot, and while same height as Treitak Anyat, her body proportions seem rather large for a mecha pilot. her mask is also quite large, as her torso and hips, seems a bit a amazon in comparison to also male Morats. Makes me wonder why so much bigger a female? her feet are about the same scale as the female figures. and she looks far to big to pilot the current Raicho sculpt.

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

Hmm... although I find DA shock ammo hilarious, is he really worth 2 points less than a Nisse with exact load out? He seems to have a lot of bloat, CC19, stealth, heavy pistol and multi terrain... How much of that is honestly useful on a frequent basis, on a platform that rarely moves?

And standing side by side they show more size disparity issues
Spoiler:
Yet her boots look no bigger than the Anyats'
Spoiler:
But the head sizes are very different
Spoiler:
as for torso width and hips
Spoiler:
Overall, the Raicho pilot seems big for the one to pilot a mecha, I hope this means a beefier Raicho sculpt in future.

We have a sub forum for that sort of discussion about the Raicho pilot. However, I'll chime in and say it's more to do with the Raicho being too small. The pilot arms are tiny, which tells you it's not big enough. The fact that the Raicho pilot scales well with an older model should tell you it's the right size.
Not saying we'll get a resculpt any time soon, but it's just too small.

If they didn't make him different, he's just a mercenary Nisse.
I'm guessing some of that has to do with the character in the manga. He probably gets up to some sneaking and fisticuffs so they wanted to make him okay in CC with a higher than normal stat and sneaky with Stealth.
Shock Heavy pistol though. I can dig it on a sniper. Sometimes someone just gets too close for comfort, and you need to use that sidearm. Stealth can actually be useful there for getting the drop on someone that got too close with that Heavy Pistol. Multiterrain is a bloat skill though.
I do like the end result. He's not good enough that he overshadows good dedicated faction snipers. But he's not bad enough that you wouldn't consider using him. He's in a good place for a merc sniper with an LE model. I can see using him for fun because I have the model and not feeling like I'm handicapping myself.

I'd very highly recommend Shae Konnit Games for anyone in the UK, maybe even outside of it depending on how postage works out for something this heavy.
I've got almost all of my Infinity books and miniatures from them at this point and I couldn't be happier with the service. Prices are great, Shae runs the splits service and everything always arrives ultra fast and very nicely packaged.
They're doing the Fat Yuan Yuan box at £20.80 and the Outrage Manga at £13.60. If they aren't too heavy for his flat shipping rate then it's cheap for that too. Not to mention if you spend enough there is a free shipping threshold.
Some really nice concept art and orange models in there, hopefully we'll get some hi-res versions of some of those dossiers shortly. The new Riotgrrls look a LOT more dynamic than the current models, which was sorely needed. I couldn't tell if they kept the silly nipple armor, though.

I don't play Infinity, but all these pictures keep making me want to... Fat Yuan Yuan appeals to me for some reason. Kind of nice to see a mini that isn't super-model thin I guess? And he's a little comical.
