    to be honest: i like what i see. I am not sure if we need another Kusanagi (maybe a non-spitfire version for everyone not beeing blessed with the defiance one), but she looks very nice. Also the Lady with the hammer from the dire foes pack. Not very infinity-like, i agree. But sometimes i need stuff like that :-D And i am just happy for a new Konstantin modell without the toothpick-thin needle sword.

    Yes, i see, the whole design looks kinda grimdarkish, but i think it´s still far enough away, especially when adding the own paintjob away from the red-black-dark and the lights that scream TGOTG to me. Overall i am just happy with the new design, i just dont like how CB presents it.

    Defiance models are not generic releases, so I am not sure why one would count them as one, again though I am not seen the grimdark, there is nothing grimdark about it.

    I once asked in our community about the style of N3 female sculpts. And the answer from a woman was, they are ok (speaking of showing skin, combat heels etc.) but she said that the 'sexualization' (not sexism) is not only visible in the female sculpts but the men are also 'ideal' and therefore sexualized.

    Plus there was once a discussion on a popular German tabletop channel where women said, they want to play such cool and sometimes sexy characters as well.

    So where do we start and where do we end? I think we don't need pinups in the game. I agree with that. But apart from that... women in real life like to look good as well and I expect men and women in the far future to be in good shape if they work for the military. Either because of training or biotech. Do we need weird poses? No. Shall they all dress like nuns ;) without any sexual appeal? No, at least for me.

    Back to the redesign... it is not my taste. I don't like the current artistic approach in Infinity for 90 % of the new products for various reasons, like being boring or not looking cute (yeah, I think old Bakunin looked cute). I will buy them to keep my collection up to date but maybe the next redesign will be more of my taste.

    Come on, mate, there's a lady called a 'PENITENT' and two other are 'Cenobites'. Those aren't exactly cookie cutter, charity-driven nunneries. I agree the grim dark isn't as deep or over the top as the folks from nottingham, but you can't tell me there's no grimdark on a trailer that's mostly colored red and black and is showcasing religious nutcases with a heavy metal theme.

    Is it cool? Fuck yeah. But is is a little grimdark, come on.

    Still, as cool as this design is, I need to know what will be of the Taskmasters, moderators, morlocks, etc

    If the Observance hadn’t been religious fanatics from the get-go, calling it “grimdark” would make more sense. However, they’ve been loons from the beginning, they just haven’t been the focus of the force.

    wanna bet about fireteams?

    All in the box will have the Observant trait and will count as a pure fireteam and will be a 2nd option, Penitent fireteam, with sin-eater, penitent and maybe Cenobites?

    Is the multi even going to be the general release, or will it be the preorder bonus?
    Because if it's just the bonus, she stays at only one SKU.

    I agree. I don’t understand the grimdark comments. I’ve only played Bakunin since early N3 when I started Infinity and these models are 100% descendants of those original ones. These look wholly inspired by their original works.

    Hey now, Bran was an orphan and he was brought up just fine. This is Observance, not Mr. Bumble's workhouse in Mudfog.

    As for the grimdark, GW toned their own down, so now everything looks grimdark. For some actually dark, disturbing shit in the Nomad nation, please check the Red Auction, the role of pupniks in the adult industry and what kind of conditioning the Sin Eaters go through.

    Or the Hollowmen, the “care” Taskmasters take of their assigned officers, the Bandits’ conditioning, etc.

    Bakunin Observance Action Pack - REF: 281522-0995 - €89.95
    Lien: https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/miniatures/bakunin-observance-action-pack
    The Observance of Saint Mary of the Knife is a religious organization with a proactive and belligerent attitude against ALEPH, and a key element in the Bakunin Jurisdictional Command where it forms part of the quantronic and tactical intervention teams.

    This box includes 9 miniatures for the Bakunin Sectorial Army of Nomads, 5 revamped y 4 totally new.

    Revamped miniatures:

    1x Reverend Moira with HMG.
    1x Reverend Moira with MULTI Sniper.
    1x Reverend Healer Doctor with Boarding Shotgun.
    1x Reverend Custodier Hacker with Combi Rifle and Pitcher.
    1x Sin-Eater with MULTI Sniper.

    New miniatures:

    1x Orphans of the Observance Engineer.
    1x Reverend Cenobite with Chain Rifle.

    Dire Foes Mission Pack 12: Troubled Theft - REF: 280048-0994 - €39.95
    Lien: https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/miniatures/dire-foes-12-troubled-theft
    Mother Healer Agatha and Brother Indigo Konstantinos are people of faith, but of arms too. They both search for peace through the fight, if necessary. And when the outlaw AI Robin Hook crosses their path, the fight is both necessary and unavoidable!

    This box includes 3 miniatures: The Mother Healer Agatha Wabara with Vulkan Shotgun, Indigo Brother Konstantinos with Combi Rifle, and the Outlaw AI Robin Hook.

    With this box you can not only expand your collection of Infinity miniatures, but you will get new options for your army—giving them personality with these two heroes—and also an extra model to play with in their both armies.

    Sister Mary GiantHammerHelden there in the Dire Foes pack looks interesting. Says she’s a Rev Healer in the description. I’m big on Doctors so my interest in her profile just went up a bit.

    The rogue AI on the other hand looks AWESOME. I’m definitely going to proxy that in as something lacking a great model. Would have said Mary Problems, but her new model is killer too.

    Gonna be an expensive month…

    Exactly, she's the event exclusive so doesn't affect overall SKU numbers. There has only ever been, and continues to only be, one Kusanagi in the general catalogue.
