And yet it's not on their social media. The first mention came from a poster on the forums claiming to have pulled it from Facebook, but since it direct links to the CB forums rather than the original spot...

The Svalarheima one I saw over Facebook yesterday but it was only shared by the Infinity Facebook page today.

Yes, but that's the thing. The Svalarheima one was posted(shared 9 hrs ago on FB 10hrs ago on Twitter). I still haven't seen the ORC(because the silhouette is an ORC, not a Bagh-Mari) one on their stuff.
I have only seen that post here and on the official forums. The official forums post was from someone who 'saved it from Facebook' and wasn't a WarCor.
If it's official, fine whatever. It's mislabeled--that's an ORC silhouette not a Bagh-Mari. And it hasn't officially been posted.

It never mislabelled anything, the silhouette and the quotation are not linked.
Still waiting for you to actually link to their social media with that posting...the image posted in this thread is hosted off Dakka and the one on the official Infinity forums lost its URL when it got added...and wasn't posted by a WarCor anyways.
But hey, CB just posted this video on Twitter with the following label:
Take a closer look to the #CombinedArmy's new miniatures! #360view
They also posted:
Don't forget to Pre-order y'all!!
with a picture of the forthcoming book...which doesn't go up until the 15th.

Excuse me for not believing that what looks like poorly done fanart similar to the stuff we kept seeing during the various campaigns, which wasn't posted anywhere aside from the official forums by a non-WarCor saying they "got it off facebook" and being unable to produce the links to it was real.

Nor have I seen anything . However, Mods can be readily summoned by clicking the yellow triangle of conjuration if they are needed.
These spoilers really don't pique my interest. To the contrary, they bore me. What would, you ask, pique my interest? Details about the contents of the book... y'know, info on what sectorials are in it or whether it contains the revised Paradiso campaign or the SpecOp rules...

I'm just saying their used to swiftly step in when the Kan dogpile started to get too tall. I've been bitchslapped for less, but really we all know we don't mind the banter.
As for the teasers it seems pretty clear we're getting at least Varuna, IA, reworked MO profiles to go with the new box, the demise of ASA.
I'm thinking other existing sectorials will see much needed attention as well.
As for a fully fledged campaign a la 2nd edition paradiso ... that was a messy & confusing affair. I loved the complexity and work that went into letting us play out narrative, but unless you had a large established group of players on hand, it was untenable for most.
It would better to go back to Paradiso with online summer campaigns & PDF releases as they have been doing.
Keep the books to fluff, art, & preliminary list releases.
Is that a natural 21?

Agreed!
This GW-esque 'teaser crap' barely works for GW, and CB isn't GW.
(Yes nor should they be, nor do they want to be, etc. etc.)
More real actual details and previews would be a lot more helpful, and appreciated.
Might help them get back some of that goodwill they've been burning up as of late.

I thought someone had pointed out that their 300 pt MO box totaled to more than 300 pts with the current profiles?
Really though, many of the existing sectorials need work, especially to offer more mixed fireteams.

IIRCGW tended to tease releases and foster speculation months in advance only to have it melt into nothing.
This is a week before preorders go live & I haven't seen any new cryptic quotes here.
Aren't these all pulled from existing fluff?
Don't read into it so much. Folks tend to project their inner wish lists onto teasers and get all bent out of shape when CB's vagueries aren't exactly what they expected.

Yeah, and the Corregidor 300 point box didn't have a valid LT option until they updated Army. They added a Boarding Shotgun LT profile for the Mobile Brigada via Army, it didn't go into Uprising.
Merovingian didn't have diddly for them in Uprising despite their being shelved around then, so don't expect anything for Shock Army.
We're getting profiles rejigged via Army as far as what's been said. That's it.

3rd offensive is placed on Planet Paradiso were the Teutonic Order has its monastery studying alien artefacts and fighting the Combined army now we get a teaser of ASA been deployed on Paradiso.
Huh, the story given related to a platoon of FRRM coming upon some infiltrating CA, then having to hold a line against a much more numerous foe... But nowhere did it ever state or even give the impression that it was a proper "Last Stand"... Using this as the reason why FRRM is gone is really really weak.

From what I understand FRRM isn't gone at all. Maybe I missed some news, but I my impression is that people are equating that loss to Combined Army as MRRF being totally defeated and deleted from the fiction. But I don't think thats the case. I doubt we'll see a lot of fiction about MRRF from now on, but I assume they still exist.

I don't know if there's official fluff yet but the article on their website describes it as :
As were the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae, the brave soldiers of Merovingia will be remembered as heroes for their sacrifice.
Take that to mean what you will.
Unofficially Carlos has said they're gone, completely wiped out but he does tend to lean towards the dramatic side when it comes to this kind of thing.
