UPDATED 4/3 Monkey Business, the Ape-ril speculation thread

The 2nd guy looks like an RTF unit, he has a Haqq smg, and the shoulder armor is reminiscent of the calf armor on the Al Fasid.

 

It’s a Haqq BSG, Ramah maybe? The second also looks like Haqq, especially the SMG, but HI armor...

 

Sphinx!

 

This woman is definitely Valkyrie. She looks amazing!

 

Wow... I didn't really expect them to redo the sphinx, but there it is.

 

These fellas look amazing. Also digging the Hatail.

 

I was excited until seeing that the Saito Togan resculpt is locked behind a Tohaa army box pre order.

Sweet. Thanks so much.

 

Literally the only thing I'm dissatisfied with so far. I want the brawler so I'm glad I'll get that but I also want Togan. What's the logic behind Tohaa players getting access to him? Do spiral corps get to take Saito? Its a nice model that's quite useful for NA2 and other armies that's locked behind a $150 wall that I won't cross. The new Tohaa look great but I jumped into OSS last year and getting MORE Haqq for Ramah this year so no space in my life for Spiral. Just making me really annoyed for him to be walled off like that.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that people will be keen to sell him on afterwards for a reasonable price or worse case is a slight variant of the sculpt will be available in general retain soon.

 

What was it last year - the o-yorai pilot?

 

Well, don't forget there will eventually be a general release of the new sculpt. Probably with different arms, but you'll still get the chance hopefully!

 

Yeah I think it was the spec-ops for the JSA box and the pilot for the bundle. But the pilot was an existing figure so you weren't missing out on much by skipping her unlike the updated Saito sculpt.

 

Valkyrie looks dope as hell, but I couldn't find anything on her. Who is she?

 

She's a character in Aristeia! All 4 characters from the Soldiers of Fortune expansion are going to be in one of the new Mercenary groups, Foreign Legion.

Here's her bio!

Are Tunguska going to be in the new book cause there was quite a bit of artwork for them in the trailer.

 

I'm guessing so. It wasn't just 1 stray picture but like 3 or 4. I hope Tunguska won't be listed as one of the 5 given its an existing army.

 

...I sure hope that was Autocorrect and not a hint to what your Infinity slashfiction is called.

 

Nah, take a closer look. Different helmet and the armor/tactical hoodie are different. Similar for sure though

 

I highly doubt Tunguska will count as one of the 5. Their fluff is here because it wasn't in 3rd Offensive.

 

Hmmm, is Saito a Tohaa? That hair of his looks suspiciously akin to tohaa mane...just a little longer. Tohaa sensei.
Also, does he even use a sword, or is more of a Brus Li style of martial artist?
