So, with the May releases already up on the CB Webstore lets look ahead to June There are several renders from studio updates we're yet to see, Bluecoat ADHL, Kitsune, Curator, Marut, Buktrak, Wolfgang, and Tian Guo. Ariadna and Nomads C1 releases are nearly complete with just the Hero blisters to go, one of which will be Wolfgang Amadeus Wolff. Marut is likely to be the C1 TAG for Aleph, so won't see release for a few months. Bultrak will be the next Morat release, but I don't know if we'll see it in June or July. Curators are an odd one, they seem like they should be in a Support Box with Palbots and a Doctor, but all the MO Doctors already have minis, the concept art was also on the same page as the Grandmaster on Roberto Zoreda's Artstation, so maybe Curator, Grandmaster, and Palbots? Then there's all the new Kosmoflot goodies, the Mechanik, Strannik, and new Servant REMs seem ideal for a 'Flot Support Pack, and I really want to see the Patchers and another Kosmosoldat!
That looks expensive for me, but I wonder, why Marut is announced so soon. My guess would be TAG pack for C1 but maybe they do it the Ariadna C1 way and put in Achilles
That wouldn't shock me as steel phalanx is a prime subject to be redone for c1. They don't rely on as crazy of rules at sss and a hero heavy faction tends to appeal to newer players. Ajax is a tag in everything but name, and is one of the more iconic minis in the game. So prime for c1. The marut on the other hand is one of the older tag sculpts, so it getting a face life has been a long time coming.
Imagine is Marut gets a regular box release for Infinity just to be repackaged into Code One box later this year. Wouldn't be surprised tbh
How reliable this source is? I don't recall a month with two TAGs happening before - I'd be very surprised to see one now. Plus, as it has been said, Marut is expected to be the TAG for future C1 Aleph release. it would make little sense to release it before the new Operation box, and then repack it.
We got 4 TAGs in November 2020! It's also an S7 TAG and an S6 TAG, with three single blisters alongside, so probably comparable to any other 2 box + 3 blister months
Point taken :) ...personally, I'm waiting for the GenCon box. I don't really expect anything to show up for me before that. Haqq had quite a dry time for the last two years.
Thank you! I was trying to think what the second TAG could be with people talking about 2 TAGs in one month. I forgot about the Bultrak.
Heh, so many people would like to forget about it. And many wish CB would forget that design and make something normal.
But Ajax is still available (Achiles too, but you know main charakters in Infinity get 5 incarnations minium at some time) but yes the ways of CB are unfathomable. All of the predictions in this year were right.
Ajax and jumpsuit Achilles were discontinued along with most of the Steel Phallus about the time N4 launched. Shops and distros might still have stock but they're not available direct from CB any more.
There may be stores that still have the miniature, but Ajax was discontinued by CB on January 1, 2021.
I'm expecting Ajax to be the S5 model in the Beyond Box, just because there's otherwise no options on either current army list.
Bostria had already suggested we might see an MO/Morat style shakeup for the Steel Phallus, so anything could happen. Beyond Boxes have been known to have an S4 mini instead of S5, so a new remote could also be a possibility.
