    Wow, thats really cool stuff!

    A bit sad that the Arjuna doesn't have my favourite load-out, but the bots look amazing.

    The Speculo reminds me of Dark Elves :D

    I can't actually tell what weapons those Arjunas have.

    And how many missing profiles do we still have? How many missed opportunities do they continually have in pursuit of this constant churn 'n' burn method?
    So remind me again, where can I go to buy Shock Army or Merovingian stuff? What's happening with Tohaa again?

    You see them "doing a decent job", I see them continually screwing themselves over because they've conditioned people to expect new releases every single month and a book or battle box every so often.

    Difference of opinion, I guess. I see them maintaining a consistent velocity of new releases.

    Shame they couldn't have just packed the pilot in with the damn thing to begin with.

    And those Puppetbots are just...ugh.

    That's the problem, IMO. They're too focused on consistent releases rather than STOPPING for a period of time and letting themselves breathe or work through a range or reworking things.

    Add in their Arena Game, and now Defiance? It concerns me greatly that we might be seeing things go sour--and despite what people here might think, I don't actually want that to happen.

    Ooh, loving the new Arjuna although it is a shame the Shock Marksman Rifle isn't included in the box.

    I get what they're trying for with the Speculo, but I'm not so sure it's come across effectively in the digital sculpt. Kind of looks like she's got a croissant stuck in her gob.

    The one on the left has a spitfire, the one on the right has a boarding shotgun.

    Not impressed. I hope this because of the bad pic quality. The Arjunas look like a chep box (not in terms of the money we have to pay). The bot bodies are the same (what is acceptable) and the Arjunas bodys are same too - wich is ... not so nice. The heads look very strange. I think with better render pics or even painted pics they will look nicer.

    The Puppetmaster looks good. The pupptes are like kindergarten, but this is okay and funny.

    Speculu looks like a duck ;-) but again the bad pic - we know its the open maw.

    In the spanish thread there is a strange pic of the profile of KritKoram, the comment below it says it has errors and the final version will be more like Zuyong. A Engineer HI with ARM 2 !? and 1 W - for 40+ look very underpowerd. Maybe they manged to copy a MI profile.

    This. I wouldn't hate Tactical Rocks so much if I could easily change what sort of tactical crap my model was standing on, so it fit whatever base I have for the model.

    So the same as 90% of 4 trooper boxes?

    I'm not so upset with this particular box. Considering the Kiranbots are, you know... Robots. I can explain away the body being in a similar pose, particularly as the head and arm sculpts significantly change the movement of the model.

    Where I am particularly impressed however is in the body of the Arjuna Trooper. While they are the same sculpt, they have mirrored the sculpt allowing for pose variety. This is an improvement on standard line boxes where there are normally only two unique body sculpts that are repeated with arm variations (eg. Brawlers: two male, two female), as the Arjuna box will have three unique bodies (Arjuna A, Arjuna B, Kiranbot).

    I dunno, I kinda expected them to look cutesy like all the other S1 models. If anything, I'm pleasantly surprised by the leftmost one - it does like as I'd expect a miniature warbot to look.

    Also, a friend who attended the seminar told me that Gutier said the Puppets will come with 9 head options. That's no weapon options, but it's something.

    That probably means the box will be able to serve as a catch-all for alternate/unreleased tinbots and deployables. If the Puppetmaster is in a suitably non-combat pose he'll serve as (another) HVT or civilian as well.

    Well Puppetactica are "Pilot hackers and toy aficionados" according to the fluff. And be honest: We all wanted monsters, pokemon whatever who could really fight against each other in a toy arena. Imagine self moving and shooting Infinity models...

    I started Nomads because I thought I'd get the most cute robot models, even though back then it was only Crazy Koalas and Moriarty. But it seems like I made the right call regardless!
    I'll have to make a Little Friends list some day.
    Also Nomad forums say the Puppets will have multiple heads to choose from. Nice if true, if a bit superfluous. Though I'm at half mind to cannibalize some Zondcats/Moriarty to make them all cats.
