I think it's a meme like pano sucks that Carlos started. I remember being at LVO last year and he was stating that no one would notice there weren't even any Tohaa releases in 2018 as no one plays them even though one of the top 3 at the tournament was playing Tohaa. They have pretty good representation in ITS too.

It was around before that.

Not implying that it started last year, just using that as a reference to show that CB themselves make that joke. Should have made that more clear.

Tohaa box is lookin pretty cool to me.

Saito...oh man... I'm betting he gets a general release later with a sword arm...

Any ideas whats in the new book?

Whats with the idea that no one plays Tohaa? The army has always been popular in my meta since it was released. nearly every Infinity players I've met (which is a lot) has played it at one point or another. I know that its popularity has been on the low side for a few years due to lack of models, but the idea that I keep seeing that only a few people play it is ridiculous.

Well, as mentioned its somewhat of a joke, but it is somewhat based in reality. Tohaa is one of the least played factions, if you compare them to full factions. If you break down everyone by sectorial the Tohaa are about in the middle.

IIRC, in the global campaigns CB has done the Tohaa have also had the smallest amount of participants as well. But again, its all about how you are comparing stuff. The campaigns have all been by factions. If they were split into sectorials instead the disparity would probably correct itself.

Tohaa generally aren't anyone's first army, but they're very very powerful so they're one of those things whose tournament representation is likely much higher than the percentage of sales.

On a totally separate note, I started up on Raoul last night and went with the Moon Knight color scheme from the Ultimate Spider Man cartoon. He looks much, much better with dark jammie pants.

So far, it looks like Ramah Task Force, the Triumvirate, Dahshat Company (looks like a Haqq/YJ mercenary company) and the Foreign Company (which is Hannibal from Aristeias merc company). Oh, and Shasvastii I think. So that’s probably the 5 sectorials they mentioned (unless the merc ones don’t count, which they didn’t last year).

Spiral Core not Triumvirate. We don't have any info yet if they're one in the same.

I believe there was a 4chan leak that got Dahshat Company and Foreign Company correct that said the Spiral Corps are the Triumvirate, but yeah don’t know for sure yet.

I would be said if it was. Triumvirate is supposed to be mostly uplifted stuff and we see none of that.

I think the ‘uplifted sectorial’ was another idea floated around for a Tohaa sectorial. The Triumvirate are like the Tohaa Illuminati. I don’t think they’re the same.

They were sold as the same multiple times by Carlos last year.

Fair enough if so. We’ve barely seen any of the sectorial, though, so it might still be that way. The guy with 2 swords looks like a Chaksa.

- Ramah Taskforce
- Blue Tohaa
- Mercenary Company #3499
- Mercenary Company #5677

and Shasvastii

Well, in those repetitive videos that CB published for the events they mention FIVE NEW armies during the year.
We are players, we are used to play by the rules and read the text strictly... Shasvastii isn't NEW. Shasvastii is being re-sculpted, re-designed but it ain't new.

So, no... thank you CB, but you have LIED to us!! (I'm joking).

If they keep with their two books a year schedule this one should be at lest 2 short so the end of year book can have some new armies.

This is the last book in the trilogy that is Uprising, Third Offensive and this one, and has been stated to unlock the 5 new sectorials.

Bostria has said in multiple episodes of those "repetitive" Q&As that there will be 5 sectorials in the new book, some are old, some are new and one would surprise us.

I think the rumored Yu Jing and Haq merc force is the surprising one.

Looks like they're continuing the tradition of every Merc company insisting that THEY are the most morally ambiguous group of hard asses in the game.

They didn't with the Senor Massacre and Hannibal one from yesterday. But ya, there's several that are trying to be that but at the same time I think that would be true in the real world.

Isn't Dahshat associated with the otherwise morally upstanding Kaplans?

Also I can't unsee Dahshat as being a jokingly named self-pronoting "the shat"

Finished him tonight. Pretty happy with it. No more proxy at least!

According to rumours (and not totally having seen any pdfs) Kaplans are in with Foreign Company with other more reasonable and less ethically icky units.

Shasvastiiiii

I can't seem to find a PanO palbot anywhere willing to pay a good price for one even if it's used with paint on it if anyone wants to sell the Palbot at let me know

They come in the PanO Support pack. Miniature Market is selling the kit for 23 bucks (7 bucks off retail price).

Imho worst set in the PanO line...
Dr.please don't hit me

Mr. Mechanic Hunchback
I'm converting a couple of Bagh Mari I bought a few boxes before they went out.... just need a palbot...
They really need to redo that set
Anyhoooo

I don't mind the engineer. The doctor could easily have a smaller silhouette due to the pose.

Technically she databeams the location for a stretcher, but I think everybody agrees that the strobe-light/ data broadcast device in her glove that she uses to do so (and gives her this pose) is missed to almost everybody.

I'd settle for her having a medical degree.
