    Bringing Jean D'Arc one Blister at a time is total money making. We want an SWC box!

    Jokes aside, bringing a Monstrucker would make the most sense to me. He is available to nearly all factions and has zero sculpts.

    Anything that is not an Aristeia character ported to Infinity is fine by me. I am sick of those. Monstrucker would be a fine choice IMO. Biggest no-no would be a character from Defiance, it would be super annoying to get LE model before KS one, and also there is no need for duplicate named characters ( except Achilles and Joan for obvious reasons ).

    Given today's article, John Hawkwood wouldn't be an unreasonable guess.

    And he is already getting a Defiance mini. Like I said, this is such a bad idea. No Defiance minis should get other release until backers get them first. I personally probably won't care by then as I am less and less invested into Infinity with every passing month, but I promise there will bunch of really pissed Defiance backers if they do this.

    And making hawkwood the preorder figure, makes you to desing a 3rd version for regular release... Too much work for a guy with no charisma

    It's not like people backed defiance because of him though, that said I think he is too boring to be a promo mini and would be a bit meh on it

    Makes perfectly sense, or maybe another new merc allowed on "WhiteCo" and other random Sectorial Armys

    Well, depends, for me, all non Tohaa promo miniature is like "Ultra-meh" hehehe, but I admit that preorders like Brawler or Libertos are extremely usefull

    The point is, "if the miniature is charismatic enough, why not?"

    Defiance should never have been given 'exclusive', non-Defiance character based miniatures to start with.

    if you can play the characters in Infinity, the also will be general releases of them arround 2021-2023, the people who doesn't purchased the Defiance KS and the New players want to buy them and if they already devoloped the concept... it's cheaper do a general releases with different sculpt

    And the veteran ones, you know, more minis to add to the collection

    After the 2nd one, the right answer is "more than enough" hahahahaha

    "General Release" usually means "exclusive minus some bits". They're all done via CAD with shared assets.

    She's the face of PanO, maybe. But even that's only because CB seems to want to push her rather than have an actual PanO character as the face.

    Her(and to an extent PanO's) importance is overblown, much like Space Marines are for 40k.
    Check page 101 of the 2nd Edition Revised rulebook.

    Oh and as a further note? CB, for whatever reason, seems to focus more on females for "posters, book covers, and busts". It's not bad, it's not good, it just is what it is. Feel free to call me a sexist or whatever trash you're going to pull next.

    *sigh* I know I shouldn't engage, but do you actually check things before you post them?

    Between the covers of Campaign Paradiso, Artbook One, N3, HSN3, Outrage, Uprising, 3rdOff, and Daddy's Fall there are 2 identifiable women.

    Luxumbra releases were roughly equal in number of male and female sculpts.

    My posters are in storage and mostly pre-N3 so can't comment there.

    Artbook One has an Oznat on the front. They're exclusively female. That same art is repeated as a poster for the faction. The Tohaa poster that came within is a Clipsos and Kamael, both female, in front of the Gorgos. ALEPH poster that came within was a Myrmidon Officer, Atalanta, Chandra SpecOps, Asura, and Penthesilea--all female. Nomad poster had an Intruder(male) wearing a facemask and a Wildcat with her helmet off and exaggerated breastplate. Ariadna had a female USARF design that thankfully never saw the light of day front and center with Van Zant. There's a few other posters(Iguana and Jotum, Druze Attack, Templars off the top of my head) that came as well.
    Campaign Paradiso's cover and the poster was effectively just what we were getting for SpecOps, where the Chandra is still fairly prominent on it.
    Also, Outrage's interior title page? It's Emily. ;)

    But yes, N3 saw a shift in the art style from the cartoony(not necessarily manga) style to a pseudo-video game look for the book covers. It kinda started with Paradiso, if we're honest.
    That doesn't change, however, these:

    And then there's the busts which I mentioned vaguely, where there's two variations of Joan of Arc, the O-Yoroi Pilot, and the Mobile Brigada lady. Then there's the boxed sets which actually harken back to the poster I linked from Dakka(which is one of my own photos, I got that as a freebie when I ordered directly from CB back in my early days with Infinity) in terms of art style, and the female models usually are in the foreground.

    If you're thinking I'm saying "EWWWWWWWWWWW GUUUUUUUUUUURLS" or whatever, you're reading the wrong thing from it. Joan is inexplicably the face of PanO, and since PanO is the face of Infinity? She has an overinflated importance to the brand and an overinflated presence.

    My guess is Monstrucker. Fits the bill of a non named merc that has been the pattern as of late and it has zero sculpts.

    Name alteration was made by VissioRama (the Maya network paying for Musashi Recreation) to avoid legal issues.
