Namurr looks good. It's paint job, not so much.

That ORC box makes me sad Lame pose and a derp-bot.

Mostly meh. At least I'll have a good stand-in for Tai Sheng. May pick up that general release saito for the arms and use the LE body/head, I like the mane of hair more than the scarf.

ORC box is all kinds of bad. Tinbot instead of a regular model, open faceplate on the female combi, absolutely awful pose for the HMG. Only the shotgun model is any good, and it's only OK

Well, he does have a telescoping cod piece for some reason. And painted in a different color than the rest of the Armored speedo he is wearing. Can that substitute for the butt?

The ORC box is disappointing, shame, with more effort, they could have delivered a nice visual experience to PanO players.

Other than the tactical rock (TM) i really quite like the ORC box. Although I now demand a whole ORC box with just the tinbot ORCs.

I remember when they made the effort to prove that a human could fit inside of a S5 suit of power armor. So why don't they make the effort that a human could fit inside of a S2 suit of power armor? Because there is no way a human woman could wear that Orc armor without being half starved to death.

Also I agree, this was a pretty lame month of models. The Saito is about the only good one.

Same here, but then I've always like the ORC stuff.

Outside of Jotums, they're one of the main reasons I got into PanO in the first place.

Tactical rocks is such a huge mistake. Anything that dictates how a model is to be based is a big infringement on the hobbyist. I base all my infinity to be urban, that's what my interpretation of the game is. The rocks just make that harder and harder.

You could always cut it off and replace it with something more urban like a box, curb, tire, etc. That said..I've lived my entire life in major metropolitan cities on three continents and they've all had rocks frequently somewhere within eyesight.

I picked a good time to get interested in Infinity again. the Namurr looks great.

Also I see that tactical rocks are still complained about after 2 years.

If the rocks were used as part of a ‘narrative’ element they’d be fine. A guy using one as cover or vaulting a large rock is an interesting element. A guy lazily resting his foot on one is not interesting.

I mean, you could just clip off the rock and replace it with something more urban. You are making this out to be a huge problem when it one of the easiest "issues" to deal with. Also, you do realize rocks exist in cities right? Just looking around my home town, there are tons of places where rocks exist in a 100% urban environment.

Realistically my only issue with tactical rocks is simply that no one uses them on the starter models so you don’t have an idea what kind they’ll be until you’ve already decided on a basing scheme.

People also bring rocks into cities (to decorate gardens or other open areas) so urban areas also tend to have a greater variety of rock types in a small area than natural areas would. Unless you're at a riverbank or scree slope, in which case your bases would have other features unique to those.

The Combined Army is winning against the puny human forces, because the Noctifiers have tactical staircases.

The Cateran would like a word.



But this does illustrate a point. the Noctifier and Cateran's scenery actually tells a story and adds to the model.

Cute chick #98 posing off of a small rock does not add anything to the model.

No, the Noctifier and Cateran scenery isn't better than the small tactical scenery elements. "dynamic posing" is just as much gibberish as arguing about wine flavors.

The reason why these things exist is because there's a limit to the number of different plausible poses that you put a humanoid figure in without being ridiculous. You either end up repeating poses (the number of "guy pointing" poses from the 80's and 90's) or you end up with Senior Massacre rag doll nonsense. This makes all of the people who want every model to look different and unique sad.

So they end up throwing in props on the model so that there's something else to pose in relation to. So you get "model standing with foot on shape", "model leaning against wall", "model traveling up surface", "model with randomly selected victim remains", etc. And this makes all of the people who want simple poses because they're easier to kit bash and convert sad.

So the people making the models get the choice of who each particular model is going to make sad. :(

I don't know anything about the Cateran model's excess baggage. I do know that the main advantage to the Noctifier stair cases is that the models work just fine if you throw the staircase away and just pin the model to the base. That's the only other nice thing I can say about those staircases.

What will the enemies be? Here's hoping for a bunch of Hormagaunt-looking swarm of Pretas/Gaki finally redone. Maybe some Shasvastii as well. It'd be an excuse to give them a resculpt and the reason they've benn hidden from us since the new book.
