Thanks!

Patsy's face looks...large.

Knauf looks very awkward, but Arslan and the civie look solid.

What is it with CB and not giving women both shoulder pads?
(at least the male magisters shared this "feature")
And she's got a Swiss helmet not an Orc one.
And her visor is up.
Gotta say, I'm actually pretty disappointed.
Hoping she comes with a second, "closed" helm, head.

Patsy is awful.

Ah, here they are:

Yup there they are! Thanks Red.

Zhayedan look great, Patsy looks fairly good, and the new Dire Foes set is....questionable content.

Patsy’s name is... unfortunate.

Rendering them in gold doesn't do them any favours; unless Goldfinger's their target audience. The reflections are messing things up.

It was more of an orange before, right?

Mostly seems to create issues with how faces look.

Zheydan look great!

Patsy... Oooofffff. I will wait for the real model to render final judgment but it does not look great (awkward pose and weird face).

Wisdom that. The orange and new Orange-ish renders do not make for flattering images.

That said, Zhayedan have potential, and look to have 4 distinct bodies... maybe done the way the Mutts are done, with different legs.

Ramah is going to be a fine looking sectorial, based on what we've seen so far. I approve.

Patsy is a Varuna character, not usable in other current sectorials with ORC troopers, and I'm guessing will not be used in Svalarheim either? Meh.

Patsy Garnet Dossier

Spoiler:

Is she an orc judging from the helmet facepaint?

She's an ORC based on...the title of her dossier too, unless I'm not picking up what you're putting down?

I think he means orc or ork as opposed to ORC.

No, just a simple question about the armor. I saw the orc face paint on the helmet and heavyish armor (although I've been wrong on that last month) so figured I'd ask.

Is there a difference in Infinity? I meant this type of orc/ORC. I can't make out what's under the hashtag in the original pic.

TLDR version:
Orcs recently got a second profile setup added, exclusive to the VIRD sectorial. The 'skullface' ones are VIRD specific.

Thanks. I wasn't aware the orc face was indicative of a sectorial.

The blue/ turquoise lines are the indicative of the sectorial, ORC troops paint "grotesque faces" on their helmets in general, they took the joke that comes from their armour been named O.R.C. and run with it regiment wide.

Patsy looks fething badass – Loving the grenade throwing pose.

I'd appreciate an alternative head with the visor closed, but I don't see it happening. Still a great sculpt either way.

I think everything there is a miss. Despites knaufs well documented and long standing hatred of gophers, the shorts on the civie look too stupid retro 90's. And, the 3 guy in that pack just looks boring, almost a re-sculpt of the sniper loup garou. It may just be the reder coloring but the rest all look bad too.

Random but we could speculate...

The Naga is missing from the CB store...

All three nagas now, the sniper, the minelayer and the hacker. Gone from the catalog too. Well, the naga sniper in the coldfront box is still in the box.

A naga box forthcoming? Doesn't CB usually announce the new before they remove the old?

We should see some sort of teaser for the Adepticon release very soon, possibly tomorrow. I expect the pre-order announcement sometime between 11-13 March.

I never did like the naga minelayer or naga hacker.

Nagas are Skirmishers--Skirmishers don't get boxes.

Also the Minelayer was just to (finally) get a model out that wasn't a Hacker or Sniper.

Oh yeah, I spose we will get the Adepticon teaser soon. That’s come round quick. Can’t beleive it’s been a year since Uprising.

Maybe they should... Support Box A, Skirmisher Box A.
I'm beginning to see the use of some of what's been said about using box sets and extra parts to fix SKU issues...
2 Nagas 4 arm sets, 2 Devas 3 arm sets + Devabot... charge the same as unit box + parts...
Boxes like Hollowmen, Yadu etc ... all load outs charge a little extra for the parts.. I could see only having blisters for units that can't be in boxes....

I guess Acheron got...renamed?



Pre-order from March 11th to April 1st

Acheron is still Acheron, Deadalus is another gate.

"Acheron's fall" was never a working title, it has been mentioned several times.

"Acheron Falls" was literally a working title. Nobody thought it was anything but that. That's why there are so many ridiculous posts over the years making fun of it.

Exactly!

Maybe we can get a Phaëthon Ascendant now too - turn everything on its head!!!

(Best to leave Icarus alone, of course!)

Yeah, I assume he meant was never anything but a working title.

Couple more photos from Facebook, new things and a new Saito Togan (who seems to be the preorder model for the book).

I don't have the raw hate for the old Saito most have, but I don't have him painted up either....

No, as I said in the past and you can find my posts through the years about it, it was never a working title.

"Acheron Falls" was an impromptu placeholder name by Bostria in a BoW interview to stop saying "the next book" that just stuck with the community, regardless of the attempts to make is silently go away.

In any case Next book is "Daedalus' Fall", it is not a working title but the actual name of the book.
