Huh. New Sphinx looks cool, not that the old one looked bad. I do like the unambiguously techy look of the new Seed Soldier. Brings him more in line with the general EI aesthetics. The original figures were actually pretty techy, too. But for some reason Angel painted them to look organic. Nice to see them actually accentuating those artificial elements of their gear now in the artwork.

I agree they did have a Bio-tech look to them that could be misinterpreted. I've seen them in black armor/bone paint scheme a long time ago and thats what brought me around to liking them.
But what sold me on them is using the Sphinx with a 12" move, TO, 2 H.Flamers and Climbing plus and wrapped in a Size 6... its the Guerilla Gorilla and can make contact very quickly I'm more excited now than ever...
I hope I can still bring 4 Cadmus and Sheskin...
Why? Putting them all in one spot and combined order MorphoScan you now have 5 "Sheskin" and it is Ugly
I know it's not a full stat clone but it clones the right stats to make them dangerous... and if you've never seen it you heard it here first

I could see this being the new style of Speculo, especially since the ITS pack has a "Speculo" as the winner mini that looks pretty much like an Aleph unit with red glow/uniform instead of purple/white that Aleph normally has.

He is a Speculo, but he is a Speculo agent like Aida, not a Speculo killer, their changes are permanent, from what I recall from 3rd offensive they kill and take over the place of a specific individual.
Yikes. That Speculo is an ugly, ugly miniature. I know taste is subjective, but I can't remember an Infinity model in recent memory I liked less.
Anyway, I hope that Shasvastii stick with their alien look and we don't get a lot of models like this. I love the army, but a big part of that love is because they don't look like generic humans. As a Shasvastii enthusiast the last thing I want is a bunch of Nomad models.
Really glad to see Corregidor's getting redone. I assumed it would be discontinued. Nice upgrades, excited to see. Curious if Wildcats will get anything. Seems like they need to as they're one of the things that stands out from StarCo, which already kind of feels like a redone Corregidor.
They can't really discontinue Corregidor, they've dumped too many CJC items into vanilla products.And it's important to note that they didn't say anything about models just rules.

It says with huge letters "Corregidor models will not be discontinued"
Edit somehow it does not allow time stamps you can see it at 7:25

So with Tohaa being the army box with the book's release assuming another vs box at Gencon it's got to be Shasvastii vs something right? Tohaa and CA are the only ones not in a battlepack (as CB's store calls them) or are they done at three for the time being?
Corregidor starter is mostly useless anyways since the Vanilla starter is practically the Corregidor starter, I wish they'd resculpt (or at least re-box) the Wildcats and discontinue it. I don't even own the starter, just picked up a single wildcat off ebay since it was the cheapest 0SWC LT option prior to securiate revamp. Changes look REALLY good, I'm excited for mixed fireteams and Tysyklons counting as Mobile Brigada for fireteams. I can totally see myself using a duo of Duo-ing Tsyklon+Gecko, I already use dual Tsyklons as attack pieces for my Bakunin lists and being able to drag a gecko along with into the midfield might be hella fun for certain missions. Hopefully Geckos will see a small update, fingers crossed, they could just use a little something to bring them up from "OK" to "good", but we'll see. I've always thought that just giving them X-Visors would fix them completely. Too bad they aren't the ones getting "counts-as Brigadas", that would have been AMAZING
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the next thing corvus is creating is a 15 mm game
I really hope it is... I could just imagine the game design they would have for something like that as well as probably the best 15 mm models on Market...
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
I would like a 15mm Infinity non-skirmish Wargame. Much like Flames of War or something like that. Would give me a good excuse to get some more 15mm terrain.

Major TAG battles, multiple infantry bases, huge sprawling cities.... all set in the infinity universe. That would be something I could really get into... so far the coolest 15mm models I seen are from White Dragon and I have a feeling the Corvus would do even better... we'd lose some detail but I think it would be okay. I can only hope.
I can only collect one new Army this year and I don't know if it's going to be Tohaa or Shasvastii....
I definitely want to play Campaign Paradiso.
I'd like to completely run through it with my brother using two armies on each side. His JSA and Nomads and My PanO and (Sprial Corps or Shasvastii) switching between forces giving it a 4 faction campaign....
I do like the look of the White Dragon stuff, but the Mechs' feet and legs are just too spindly for the aesthetic they're going for (if you're looking for a hard, military look then a 50+ tonne armoured suit needs some serious ankle reinforcement).
Even the original gundam had that particular nod to realism, with the Zaku and Gundams etc. (and pretty much all of their variants) having bulky lower legs and wide feet.
Someone needs to help us all out and compile all the Daedalus news into non-video format!!!
They're discontinuing a bunch of the vanilla Tohaa stuff because they "only want to have 50 SKUs" or some such nonsense. It's almost all hand sculpt stuff(Tohaa starter, Makauls, Gao-Rael and Gao-Tarsos, Kamael box, Sakiel Spitfire and Ectros HMG) but there's some newer stuff as well(Nikoul, Kosuil, Kotail).
Not at all surprised. They mentioned several times that Spiral represents the loss of access to reinforcements and general contact with the main Tohaa army. Tohaa didn't ever really come with plans to expand, so much like JSA they're being redesigned and rebranded into NA2, where they probably would have initially started had it been a thing at the time.

This isn't true. They had two Sectorials they talked about: "Uplifted"(Chaaksa, Kaauri, etc) and Triumvirate.
They've written the fluff for Daedalus' Fall to justify the business side of things.
They may have once had plans to expand Tohaa in different ways, but obviously abandoned them, either because those designs didn't work out or the line didn't sell well enough to continue or whatever. Regardless of comments about prior possibilities though, its been pretty clear for a while that Tohaa have been in a bit of a design limbo.

Yes, and it is certainly more than OK to change plans based on sales!
I guess Tohaa players should be somewhat happy that they got a major fluff explanation for this too?

Spiral Corps IS Triumvirate.
Spiral Corps is a mercenary company purchased by the Triumvirate to conceal their operations within the Human Sphere.
Triumvirate was originally to be the 'main' Tohaa faction with its unit selection(Kamael, etc), with a bit more emphasis on stealth units.

Gee, the line that didn't really see any attention for two years had poor sales? What a shock!
And no, what was clear is that CB had no interest in doing things for the Tohaa. Still no Officers(Taequl or something like that?), no Sakiel box(something that was very desired by players), and I'm sure there's more.
