    Wow, didn't see that coming. What's their background like? This certainly explains the conservative profiles.

    It could be, and IMO very likely is, an error on the Warsenal site, I wouldn't start speculating too hard just yet.

    For whatever reason there's "JSA" on their box though. Misprint instead of NA2?

    They are so awesooome though, that Kiel-Saan sword :o

    Let me make a core out of them and Auxiliars in Tohaa and Spiral and you have a unit that might get taken.

    I'm really hoping the general release Wild Bill will have a lever action rifle for a Contender.

    Coming Soon store page is up and just lists NA2 and Tohaa so looks like Warsenal was in error.

    Well if the backside is a glorious as the front, I can only assume we have a new contestant for best glutes of the Sphere.

    Awesome looking box

    I just realized that Longarms are Angarans from Andromeda.

    Aren't Angarans a regular species in Mass Effect? As in biological / natural evolution. I'm under the impression that Chaksa were uplifted by Tohaa, which would make Chaksa more similar to Vorta in Deep Space Nine, though more warriors than diplomats. Not that I'm terribly familiar with neither Tohaa nor Trek lore to claim this is the primary inspiration, of course, but there's something artichokish about Founders/Vorta

    Chaksa are uplifted by the Tohaa, but it doesn't always "take", so there's Chaksa that are fully sentient, and also some that are not. SO like, Longarms and Auxiliars are sentient, I'm not sure on Peripherals from Rasail, but I'm pretty sure the Kumotails Servants are simply empty shells to be remote controlled as much as any other servant bot the humans use.

    The RPG at least, details how this gives them a view that non-sentient things are still on some level aware, so they might thank a plant or door or something, but not in a religious 40k/Mechanicum or Battletech/ Comstar way.

    Inspiration wise, they're probably a combination of a bunch of different muscle slave races really.

    Good thing that CB sticks to tradition with the least useful profile getting released first.

    Whats for August? Operation?

    Cyberghost is awesome news, looks like the Airborne will be a repack booster.

    Seems a lean month with 3 new blisters and a box, possibly as they'll be prepping for the next big release.

    Operation: Crimson Stone was slated for Gen Con in August, though the Convention has been delayed until mid September and I don't know of CB will be adjusting their releases to match (or if they'll even be able to attend)

    I'm gonna place a bet right here... The rest of the Varengian sculpts will be in different boxes of different factions (3 kosmoflot unit+1 Varengian, 3 O-12+1 Varengian...)
