    I'm thinking/hoping new characters for both sides.

    Advance pack could be a good place to introduce the Bearpode

    I'm not sure the Polaris team or Bearpode will be in C1 as so many of it's rules don't exist in that game, but having it as an N4 release the same month as the PanO and Yu Jing action packs would be neat.

    Remember Defiance .... I expect Cadin and Jazz because there is no regular release of them yet, and for kosmoflot we have an old sculpt of Wallace, same for Carlota ... but who knows.

    I expect WolfGang and a new Mcmurroh to be released on blister sometime.

    Let's wait and see

    Since there's so little coming out for for Yu Jing the rest of the year I'm feeling a little down. Shang Ji and Shaolin are great but that leaves only two others that don't have figures, Tian Gao and Long Ya. Neither of which I care much about. I don't have high hopes of them coming out with re-sculpts of anything, and even then I might not get them because of $. Unless of course they are awesome! :stuck_out_tongue: Then of course they could come out with something new. But know then knowing CB, they won't come out with an actual figure for them for about a year later.

    While I thought of Defiance at first too, Cadin is not a specialist and all Dire Foes are specialists.

    From my negative head :sleepy: :smiley:

    So if we know that up to August all we get is Shang Ji and 1 shaolin, that leaves the two I mentioned (I personally don't care about) or they come out with profiles they haven't done, re-sculpts, or something new from then to Dec.

    I'm trying to stay positive for some profiles they have yet to come out with. Hopefully the Jujak don't go the way of the Shang Ji and take 10 years to come out with more than one.

    Sorry. I don't understand your point.

    They Shouldn't have waited a year to come out with the rest of the Shang Ji. And that one Shang Ji as we know was the first new one in many years. Just by counting on their store, they came out with 7 new Yu Jing releases since Kaldstrom. I'm not counting re-packs and mercenaries like Kai, Kunai, Taowu. Two of those new releases were tied to PanO figs, and one was re-sculpts. That's really not to bad in comparison. PanO had 5 but one of those is the MO set. And others got less.

    So I'm guessing here, September to December will have a release of Tian Gao and Long Ya.

    I'm hoping for Hulang SMG, Liu Xing Multi-rifle, Krit Kikram Feuerbach.

    Blah.... I'm so dissapointed in July. Single Varangian with boarding shotgun. Why aren't they a box. We got several factions that all use them and oftwn are taking more than one. And worse is that of the many profiles they have the boarding shotgun is the least used one.

    They got four distinct options.
    SMG
    Chain Rifle
    Boarding Shotgun.
    Chain Colt/Heavy Pistol. (Chain colts pass pretty well as heavy pistols too.)

    This gives you the option to double up on pretty much every combo but the Boarding Shotgun. I'm really perplexed why they feel this units is better served like this as and awful single blister.




    Cyber Ghost is great. Looking forward to that one.

    Repack of the Airborne Rangers is kinda meh. Saves some SKU's (not that they'll use that new space efficiently.) I assume it's a repack. Would have been amazing to see the Rifle+Assault Pistol one but that will never happen.

    Trinatarian and the Shang Ji will make my friends happy.

    I hate being such a downer on this, but I feel CB has been really dropping the ball a lot since N4 dropped.

    I agree. They seem to be making decisions based on what the sculptor feels like doing that day.

    Over and over they come out with a figure for the least used profile like they don't understand their own game. The only thing that helps is the proxy rules. So some might still get that Varangian and proxy as SMG. But they do this over and over again. For Yu Jing they came out with Hacker Zhencha instead of SMG first, Hulang Combi instead of SMG, Tai Sheng Breaker instead of Mk12, Mowang Multirifle/Red fury instead of spitfire. I can understand if they want to make sure both versions sell but they end up never coming out with the version people want! I was amazed they did come out with the SMG Zhencha. We'll be lucky if we see any of those others.

    Yeah, that's true. As much as I love infinity and I'm aware we don't need to understand every CB decision, it's really baffling that they keep releasing the least wanted profiles first for so many units.

    I'd understand it if we got the better profiles a few months later (when you're still hot a certain army) but too often it doesn't happen or it's years later when you already lost interest, got used to a proxy or a conversion, etc.

    On the other hand, it's also true that the game a designer imagines usually shifts towards a different meta after release... but a bit more attention in this regard would work wonders for customer retention.

    Is there any evidence that Infinity has lost even a single customer due to not releasing models for their preferred profiles?

    Well, a few friends of mine have waited to buy the profiles they wanted and lost interest afterwards. And now I'm short on opponents, also :(

    Of course, this is a single case and I cannot claim there's statistical evidence.

    But I can't see why it wouldn't help, either.

    With Yu Jing and IA in particular we also have to mention Daoying MSR, Haidao Combi and Liu Xing Hacker in the starter box. Thankfully only Liu didn't get his good profiles out after a while so it's fine in that regard.

    I would have stopped a long time ago if that was the case. They proxy rules saved them. Can you imagine if everything had to be WYSIWYG? It's just frustrating when half your army is a proxy! I actually don't mind it for my merc forces but I don't want that so much for the main factions.

    I always thought the Haidao combi is the Engineer. which I use all of the time. I don't think i've ever used the LX as an actual hacker.

    I've only ever used the Combi as a Hacker proxy and as a Chain of Command (for one specific list and only because that list runs a Guijia as LT and has no SWC for a MSR that it badly needs). Daoying MSR is legit, though. Try it a few times. As LT it's hard to use, but the added protection and displacement of the mine is really good, particularly now that the Hacker can't buff REMs.
