Those TAGs be beautiful.
While I agree the Zeta looks a touch top heavy, I think mild converting would fix the issue. (specifically putting *something* on the right hip to visually counterbalance the left gun.)

I don't even PLAY Ariadna and I want Mirage-5.

What else should he be doing with that hand? I think the Zeta's rage fist is pose appropriate. The Cutter of all of them is the strangest of the bunch. The answer we all know though is they do it because it casts better than fingers.

I would have loved an open palm hand (happy enough with fingers in 1 flat blade) to make it look like it is balancing against something or even better...a riotstopper in there.

It does not help that the gun looks like it's been just taped onto the side of the forearm, which gives it a feeling of being a prop? Cause there's no weight behind it in the pose.
Ironically, it's the only tag of the 4 that actually is doing anything, the others just sort of aim at the ground, making sure the local lawn doesn't attack them.

Good news! I have been informed that the Defiance stuff will be here soonish, lands at port/customs end of month and deliveries in December mid to late.

Hi,
Shipping to USA/Canada: The arrival at the port is scheduled for November 28th. The shipping to the backers is scheduled for mid-to-late December.
If you need to update your delivery address, please send us as soon as possible.
Thaks for your support! Stay safe!
Kind regards,

Just a heads up, the rest of the sectorial have been introduced to the army.

ASA forward observer now with SWC=0. It's a relief to see my sectorials, QK, ASA, in the Army Builder at last.

Army is here

ASA changes have made me happy. The Akhal's were a missed opportunity, but given how aggressive the rest of the army is it's no great loss. The changes to Singh make him a possible take now, with NCO and a boost to CC.

The mahoosive cost drop to Dragoas and the Tikbalang is going to be fun to play with, ditto with the Montessa. And PanO has smoke now with the chaper Guarda.. Although I refuse to get excited until CB have had the chance to take it away as a 'mistake'.

Also also, the ACA Machinst is now the same price as the regular, so free Mim -3. Although I'm also thinking one of those is a mistake.

Overall, I'm excited for N4 finally.

Yeah, I must say, actually getting my sectorials so that I can play them in N4 is a morale booster.

A 3 TAG list is possible now, 2 Tiks and one Dragoe. Amusing gimmick.

ITS12, Breakdown, is here contumaciousness. Ahem.

My Megalodron is in the mail with a tracking number. What a long strange trip it has been!

I almost regret not paying for split shipping.

Is anyone aware of any UK distributors/shops that are up for any stock? I miss missing out on the mega unit from this (esp since its combined army and because its unlikely to get a regular retail release)

Not really. From China to Orlando to you on the Eastern Edge. It's a fairly common trip these days. Too common if you ask me.

My Shinies arrived Saturday morning. Fortunately, everything was in order. Several people report missing Duchess and Gaspar minis from their Collector's boxes.

The January 2021 releases:

Jayth+Taigha
Cheerkillers & ML Grenzer
John Hawkwood

and the repacks:
PanO C1 Booster Alpha (Swiss Guard HMG, Akal combi, Croc Sniper repack)
Yu Jing C1 Booster Alpha (Hsien HMG, Hac Tao Hacker, Zhanying Hacker repack)
Aleph action pack (Operation/Beyond Coldfront repack)

Given that I just received 43 minis, I'm not looking to add to the pile o' shame anytime soon. Ah, there's nothing there for my factions anyway, so that's easily sorted.

Got my box in this weekend!

Of course...2020.

Is there a list with pictures somewhere so I can make sure that nothing's missing in my shipment?

EDIT:

Just checked - no Gaspar and Duchess.

Lovely.

This looks to be the list:

4 boxes:

1) Core Box

2) Scenery Box

3) Collector Box

4) Megalodron.

I don't remember which minis were in which box (core or collector), but the total would be:

2 versions of Cadin, Qiang, Jazz, Uma heroes

1 each of Rahman, Agnes, Trisha heroes.

1 each of the remotes Billie, Gaspar, Duchess. From what others have said, Gaspar and Duchess are in the same bag.

Shasvaasti:

Charontid, Sheeskin, Aida, Victor, Gwailos

2 Speculo's, Caliban, Jayth

3 Seeds, Cadmus

6 Nox (2 of each of 3 models)

6 Taighas (2 of each of 3 models, there's two in each baggy for 3 bags total)

If you ordered card sleeves, they're in there too.

Hopefully they'll let us know how to go about asking for the missing items soon...

Yeah it was in Orlando FL on the 14th, no updates since, and the USPS is flooded by shipments at this time of year, will not surprise me if it arrives stealthily w/o warning despite my tracking it as best I can


Automatically Appended Next Post:
P.S. I merely ordered the Megalodron for my synth collection from the Combined Army.

Mine came via Fedex, fortunately. I've had crappy luck with the USPS all year. 2020, amirite?

Yes, it's on the bottom of the Collector's box.


Ask for the missing items just like you would for any other mispack. However, IIRC, CB Central is closed for the holidays, so I don't thin they'll respond until after the new year.

Ha!

It was literally right in front of me!

Thanks!

Yeah, given how they've been silent in the comments section, I figured we were solidly into the European "See You Next Year" period of the season!

I got it! I got my Meg!

Looks awesome. It is PVC, right?

Yes it is.

It should be fun to paint.

PVC works well enough for larger minis/models. It is really hit or miss, mostly miss, for 28mm-32mm minis.

Folks can check to see if there is a 40mm base in their shipment. It's for the Charontid. Some people are missing the base. It's a trivial thing compared to missing minis, but still.

Oh many shops will sell 40mm bases in packs.

Oh yes, fun to paint, as I can pull it apart as a 2 piece model. Makes my Bug suit look small in comparison

Renamed the thread to 2021 news. We really don't have much of an idea about what is forthcoming. Wave 2 Defiance shipping, new minis, and eventually errata and FAQs for Code One and N4.

Anyway, releases:

-January 2021 releases:

Jayth+Taigha
Cheerkillers & ML Grenzer
John Hawkwood

and the repacks:
PanO C1 Booster Alpha (Swiss Guard HMG, Akal combi, Croc Sniper repack)
Yu Jing C1 Booster Alpha (Hsien HMG, Hac Tao Hacker, Zhanying Hacker repack)
Aleph action pack (Operation/Beyond Coldfront repack)

Februay 2021 releases:

-Uxia MacNeill Assault Pistol
-Aida Swanson submachine gun
-Naga Hacker
-Combined Army Booster Pack
-O-12 Booster pack Beta
-Salvora Technopole scenery expansion pack

No word on the booster pack contents.

Happy New Year all! And good riddance to 2020.

CODE ONE- O-12 Booster Pack Beta


CODE ONE- Combined Army Booster Pack Beta


N4- Uxía McNeill


N4- Naga Hacker


N4- Aïda Swanson

Tactical Rock Uxia is okay I guess. Nice mini, don't get me wrong. I just don't think she is so awesome I need to have her over previous Uxia. So another month, another no need to purchase anything for Infinity for me.

Hmm. Well, Have an Aida Swanson and 2 speculo killers, courtesy of Defiance. Don't play Ariadna; Won't play Ariadna, so that's Uxia sorted. Naga hacker is an improvement, but I use the old Dasyus hacker as my Naga hacker in my ASA.

I don't hate the 0-12 minis. Hippolyta and Ensign Cho? look fine. The other mini is meh. But I'm not starting a new faction.

No matter. I have so many CB minis to prime and paint already.

ETA: The March releases are known.

-Cassandra Kusanagi spitfire
-Monstruckers boarding shotgun ( "Breaker, Breaker" good buddy. Man, that was a terrible movie. Too much Chuck Norris trying to act and not enough Chuck Norris kicking people.)
-Nyoka Assault Troops
-Pan-Oceania booster pack
-Yu Jing booster pack

Contents of the boosters and the Nyoka box unknown ATM.

And the Kaldstrom scenery expansion pack. Maybe to expand the 2'x3' play mat to 4'x3'?

So, as someone who is perennially always on the cusp of getting into Infinity but never actually does, is N4 out in the wild completely? If so, how is the general reception assuming that there is one?

Yes, it's out completely, they released the remaining rules for all the discontinued sectorials back in November. I still haven't gotten a single game of N4 because of COVID, but we have an active Discord for my local players and a lot of them are playing on Tabletop Simulator, they seem to like it.

Yeah, I figured the pandemic would muck up the actual in person play of the new game but I haven't seen much chatter about it even in theory here. Admittedly, it's not like I'm really looking for it but figured I'd ask as it doesn't seem to have changed much of the talk.

Yeah, I can't speak for anyone else, but for myself I lost almost all interest in the game because of edition change happening in the middle of no in-person gaming. Some of the changes look cool and fun, but without being able to actually try them out then it's all theorycrafting with no reference point. And since my painting is directly tied to playing, I haven't touched any of my backlog of models, I already have 5 fully painted armies. Defiance KS delivered a month ago and I've barely looked at it

It really sucks because I went from playing almost every week to not even bothering with the podcasts.

Defiance can be played as a solo game. It's a good way to learn the rules so that when you get to game with the group again, you can walk them through the ruleset quickly. It takes a couple of scenarios to understand everything. It's a standard practice for me and the other guy in my group who is a game-bringer. I've assembled and primed all 43 minis, but I have yet to start to paint them. I figure I'll have everything ready when we can start gaming in person again. Online gaming is a mediocre experience at best, at least for me. YMMV.

Yes, everything is out for N4, including the new ITS season and the first FAQ/errata. There is the Code One ruleset too, for *lite* gaming. I may have to play that version, since some of my fellow gamers are a bit averse to playing the full 'lifestyle game' version.
