    Sakiel box? Not likely apparently the entire faction is a sectorial now.

    Because sectorials don’t get models/boxes, what?

    Guys seriously, I hear you, but can we give it a rest for a bit?
    CB has just shown us a roadmap for a ton of new content and you have been promised a Sectorial that will be worked on as soon as someone is available to do so.
    What exactly does nagging like a bunch of entitled brats help after knowing the fact that you will just have to wait? Everyone else is waiting too and yes they will most likely get their new toys before you get yours. Spoiling the fun for everyone won't speed things up and you will get your toys as fast as possible either way.

    So look at the bright side, will ya?
    When counting Vanilla and Sectorials seperately, Tohaa are the most played Faction. When treating things more coherent Tohaa are the most played Sectorial.
    There aren't really a lot of dead entries within the Artichoke ranks. Do you really want a couple of bad clones or Bolts/Zhan Shi/Securitate to artificially bloat your choices and get "new" stuff?
    Tohaa are a fairly recent Faction with fairly recent miniatures. Given the timespan of their existence they're doing pretty well with releases. I'm sure the Profiles missing a model will get one before Triumvirate hits. Let JSA have their new Keisotsu first, believe me, they need them.

    Peace?

    Everyone is waiting, but Tohaa always have to wait more. We are the Faction with less releases per year (we were only beaten once, by ALEPH), that's a fact.
    If you consider Tohaa a Faction, not a Sectorial (as the books, and Army, and eveything else except some people in the Forum does), Tohaa is the less played Faction, that's a fact.
    THERE ARE several important missing entries in the Tohaa rank, like many several Sakiel profiles, another Clipsos or the most used Sukeul, the HMG one. And (alongside the recently released Druze Sectorial) Tohaa is the only Faction that currently has a trooper without any available miniature, the Taqeul, and it's not even in the roadmap. And that's a fact.

    We've had to deal for years with people crying out loud for the fucking Uhlan, their fucking third Sectorial or whatever fucking else. But year after year we are told by other players that we just have to shut up and not complain.


    We are not salty, we are just fed up.

    the one thing that so often baffles me about the infinity community is the peoples´ apparent reluctancy when it comes to conversions. God forbit i would advocate gw´s games as superior, but in 40k you could find whole count as armies, beautifully thought out and executed, here a simple weapon swap or pose switch is sometimes treated as if you would have to saw away your own fingers. i do understand, here spare bits and weapons are somewhat hard to come by, but with spec ops i think almost every option is covered, and spare cheerleader bodies always come in handy, especially for any LI/MI to avoid duplications.
    i for one see myself as a conversion maniac, and have rarely left minis "unharmed", infinity is the first system, where the beautiful sculpts most of the time compel me not to touch them, but still im thrilled if there is a missing profile, or simply a figurine i dont like aesthetically, so i feel justified to convert something again.
    On the other hand I am as far from a competitive player as one can be, i have no idea how strict the jury and the competitive community is about stuff like that, but i can hardly imagine well executed conversions/scratchbuilts are frowned upon.

    I think it's most likely a historic thing, other games (cough GW) had a bigger history of converting models and encouraging it, where it's only been a semi-recent thing with Infinity articles.


    also converting metals is hard

    Tohaa and ALEPH are definitely undersupported IMO.

    Not only that, but CB miniatures are also small, with small details. And unlike some of the most converted 40k base models, these don't have things like giant freaking pauldrons that will hide your model's joints around shoulders, elbows, half of the torso and Emperor knows what else so you can do basically whatever with model assembly and it'll still look like it should be that way, allowing for dramatic reposing.

    Also Infinity seems to attract people less concerned with the hobby since you only need 30 or so models to play unlike 40K.

    Securitate? Halqa? I am not disagreeing with the fundamental point that Tohaa get the least releases per year, but this part is not a fact.

    Brawlers are probably the biggest missing piece of any list in the game right now.

    Really? Because a big part of the reason I got into Infinity was the hobby aspect because I can't stand 40k models. Lower model count was also a factor, but that was more because I couldn't afford to spend a whole lot on minis at that time.

    I've really been hoping Tunguska would have CSUs. This news excites me.

    40K also requires models to be wysiwyg, at least in some editions it was directly written in the rules. Infinity is more relaxed about it so not that big of a need for conversions.

    Actually, I'm one of those. Back when the entire thing was new to me, I was terrified by the thought of preparing dozens of models.

    ...nevermind that my recent Infinity match had me fielding 19 models or so...

    Same for me. I chose Necrons specifically for their no-bling aesthetics and totally identical appearance (helped a lot with their "soulless robots looking to harvest all life force" description), but then they got personality, defeated their omnipotent star-gods and new models with bells, whistles and tails and whatnot.
