CB limited miniatures tend to be time limited, rather than stock limited, as they can always just cast more. The only things they tend to run out of are card terrain packs and booklets.
Excellent news! Thanks. Now I just need to fatten up the wallet before the 25th… unless CB take trade in souls? Not mine of course, I Faustian bargained that thing forever ago.
From today's vid released just now: The Taryot would be so much better without those "wheels". We already have established that high-tech jumpers don't need "propellers" of any kind, just those weird backpack "struts". Cut these wheels off the Taryot and it's still got a "proper" Infinity jump pack. I really dig the buff Zerat as alternative to "svelte Zerat" of old, but I'm not buying the three pack for the single model. The Rindak is still horribly blocky from all angles. The cuboids on top of his right shoulder and side of left thigh are ridiculous and highlighting them in yellow only compounds on the issue. The segmented one binding the right side chest is bad as well, but would be passable if it were the only silly blocky thing. But there's three and then there's the chungus thicc "power tool". Cool concept, but overdone in the sculpt IMO.
Absolutely love the concept of the transforming Roadbot and his "sidebot" pal :) The Morans turned out really well, though I miss the capes a lot. But pairing them with old Koalas is just so lazy and insulting. The Black Friday Shikami is absolutely excellent.
Yeah, really don't care much for those Morat past the Zerat. Moran are a well deserved resculpt, but I am sad that they lost their cloaks. Roadbot is cool, but why would you make it motorcycle shaped if noone rides it? Wildcat and Evaderbox could have used another Wildcat, same as the Scots Guards box. Still eagerly awaiting the Shakush...
I hope the render is not the finished figure for the roadbot. The bike looks cool but as said, it looks like it's parked for donuts. Since they now have some plastic, I wish they would do Drones on flying bases. Drones are big today but can you imagine what they would be like then?! I mean, why would you have a mini motorcylce when you can have a flying drone? All it would need rule-wise is a 8-4 move with super jump and Climb plus, and Terrain (Total). This is almost already there.
Soo... Evaders are new Grenzers? One mini per every useless box? Also, no fancy Wildcat HRL girl with ridiculously long-hair. Disappointed.
I'll end up buying one on the second-hand market. Unless I decide to convert one first, I still have a couple of spare Feuerbachs from my converted 2ed Azra'il.
Considering the female Wildcats and Muyibs were some of the very minis to draw me into the game, I am highly disappointed with the lack of fancy female Wildcat with wildly long colourful hair... at least she's not bad, they look solid and the new Nomad 'outfits' that have been coming out look great :)
Sadly this is the new way of selling boxes for CB. I have to say FB Evader is not so bad but nothing I will include often. Given the fact that the WC are resculpts they couldn't get more worse with the HRL model. So much bordome instead of the supercool I'll get you pose of the original model. Cleary a waste of efforde here. Apart from that I had a slim hope for Lobo, Diavolo fireteam.
I will miss the Moran's cape! But surely not the ugly models... Looks decent! :) Too bad the Rindak miniature is so far away from the concept art , it was great!
Morans now got their unified look with other nomads. And to be honest, their pattern on a chest is not enough to give them something unique. But I also understand, that capes are not comfortable in space. Time to prepare our green stuff to add something to them. x). Let’s look at it as on a possibility for our creativity. I like new O-12 robot. I like robots. Now I want thematic group with rems, beta-troopers and this one. Morat’s Robot despite isn’t my choice. I can’t see alien tech in it. Even legs are designed like in O-12. You can see pictures above... But maybe it is a sign, that morats are getting more independent in human sphere?! Who knows... it is hard to find infinity lore. )
For the Morats... I'm glad I've decided to go with the older sculpts, even if I'll have to hunt some minis down. New range is wildly uneven, from nice sculpts like Kaitoks or Zerats, through mixed deals like new Suryats (or most of the range, honestly), to absolute clowncar sh*tshow like Taryot. Some of these will be useful as a base for kitbashing, though. For example one of the new Suryats with Rindak SMG arm would actually be pretty cool as a Rindak. Taryot can be cannibalized for parts, too.
old suryats were one of the best models in infinity and i am really shocked about the decision they left them.
I do like the new Suryats. But, together with some other new MAF units, they look a bit out of place with their CCWs and beards. I know CCWs for everyone and their remote was a standard since N1, but new Morat ones are approaching choppa territory, and together with some other design choices speak fantasy instead of sci-fi. I might justify them as a Rindak proxy, but for Suryats themselves I prefer the previous sculpts. For a more detailed discussion on Morat design we should probably move to CA subforum, though.
Black Friday is taking place, but the store page is misbehaving. I've been stuck in checkout for ages and most articles are inaccessible. Maybe dispatch an interventor to see what's going on, or alternatively - introduce Black Saturday, so that the load on the website goes down a bit?
