Team Rocket. I was trying to remember the pop culture reference. Gracias for the reminder, Jake.

I'd be fairly certain that the Deva will be in the Dakini box, to bring it up to 4 minis. I'd get the box. It plus the Beyond Coldfront and the new ALEPH starter makes for a nice foundation for the OSS.

According to one distributor, these are the December releases:
-Dakinis
-Kurgat Autocannon
-Odalisque Spitfire
-Securitates
-Zulu Cobra Jammer

and the obligatory repacks
-Bandits Repack
-Kaauri sentinels repack (yay, Tohaa get something this year )

We'll see some previews next week. And if the Deva is in the Dakini box.

More in the rumor vein here:

Next year we have IA & Shas for sure.
Hopefully Ramah finally comes too. Haqq sorely needs attention.

Do we know which profiles would go in Ramah?
Haqq has SO MANY profiles that are vanilla only; seems to me like they wouldnt need to invent that many new units to get it done.
That said, many of those units could use new sculpts and revised profiles.

Confirmed for Ramah is Ghulam, Naffatûn, Khawarijs, Zhayedan, Maghariba, Tuaregs, Tarik, Saladin I think, Al Fasid, Hakim. Another new unit was mentioned, I’ll have to find the name.

Actually I think the new unit named was for the Khanate sectorial. I can’t find it now.

Worth mentioning that there was a second potential Sectorial for Haqqislam called the Khanate which had Halqa, Kum bikers, etc.

Wonder if they'll ever get another TAG other than mercs

Dzanbajans too right?
Always been one of my favorite profiles, but the new-ish box isn't their best work sadly.

Ol' Mag is a TAG.

I was using this source:

https://infinitythetactics.com/Ramah_Taskforce

Not sure how often/if it gets updated.

Haqq has been getting attention. It has been quiet, low-key attention, which is just fine. Haqq players are not the whiny, needy lot that Pan-O or YJ players are. New remotes, new support box, the Hakims, new Asawira, this new Odalisque. A few small profile updates and some new equipment --the medjectors on the Hakims.

I think that Haqq, at least vanilla and QK are in a pretty good place. When the RTF releases-- March at Adepticon I'm guessing-- then things will only get better.

See, to me the only decent release in that lot was the Hakim.
And like so many Haqq units, they're vanilla only.

Only until Ramah is out, probably earlyish next year.

I hope so.

My Infinity spending is on hold until Ramah and/or PanO Svalarheima are released.

Has anyone seen any indication that we're going to see a Biketessa sculpt?

No sign of Biker Montessas yet.

Apparently Shasvastii art was shown behind closed doors recently.

Bet Itss Pretttttyyy....
I wonder what unit will get a jammer?

that's Moto Montessa, or Motessa. No idea, but heaven help me, I think I want the mini, as much as I find the notion of a biker-knight disagreeable, in theory anyway. Looking at its profile... yes, very playable in ASA. I expect the mini to be very nice. I've said that somewhere already. meh.

Maybe a January release?

Snipershot earlier today


Looks like Yu Jing AD backpack

Yep. HI drop troops, baby!

Nomnomnomnom.

Still irked about the Grenzer in there rather than a box but c'est la vie.

Looks nice. Still missing the exciting things for Tunguska, but I'm going to buy this sooner or later.

Exciting things and not so exciting things...
With this box release, we're now missing (just from items in boxes mind you):

Jurisdictional Command of Tunguska
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

5
SECURITATE MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 21)
SECURITATE Feuerbach / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 22)
SECURITATE (Repeater) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16)
HOLLOW MEN Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Chain-colt + 1 TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 37)

You're welcome to argue with me about the need for a "Repeater" Securitate with Combi Rifle--but it very much looks like this Boarding Shotgun model does have it present on her back near her neck. Pause the video at 0:13 and you can see what I'm thinking is the Repeater.

The Hollow Man Hacker wasn't present in the box and since it only includes a TinBot A I figured they were holding it back for a blister or some kind of "Beyond" styled pack release.

In the preview the BSG model was listed as the Repeater model. I actually just noticed she has a BSG for the first time when you mentioned it.

Yep--and when we first saw the preview I brought this same subject up here and elsewhere. Same with the Hollow Man Hacker profile.

So, the Securiate SWC box includes a normie Securuate w/ shotgun and a normie Grenzer but not a sniper or feuerbach? That's kind of awful since there's so many profiles for each unit to do their own full box. Makes this set really underwhelming even though the figs look really good

The normie grenzer is a good pick, as the combi (sensor) grenzer is the most used grenzer for the mixed link, Id rather either the hacker was dropped for the feurbach or sniper. But I think really the Tunguska starter should have been combi-combi-boarding shotgun securitate ( or combi-sniper-shotgun) then have SWC pack as grenzer-hacker-hmg-feur/sniper. Cause atm there are 3 combi securitate when we really only needed 2. though a solo pack securitate with 2 arms would be good solution for sniper/feurbach (even though CB rarely do arm swaps)

Fluff wise I could see the hollow man hacker technically not have any hacking gear physically on him considering what they are

Securitate HMG & Feuerbach would be a blister every nomad player will buy.
I’m slightly irritated, but not concerned. Feuerbach is a rare enough gun to make it worth the purchase.

December releases

Who's that second from the right in the Dakinis box?

Deva with Spitfire

Also new snipershot
