That's actually cool, Ian, you can make them play more, then we can go and do 'Visitors v Home' games.

Andy, I think you can use Squalo as Seraph since they are Armoured Cavalry too. Though the actual model may be siginificantly smaller if rumors are believed, but since you have some quite important other entries missing I don't think it will be released any time soon.
Maybe you can proxy it with a gundam or appleseed toy if you don't want to waste money on a TAG that you don't like (Squalo).

Yeah I don't like the Squalo.
I'll just wait. I can concentrate on the other factions I own more until it comes out.
I'll likely buy a Yu Jing TAG at some point (O-Yoroi ofc). That will bolster them nicely! Going vanilla for Yu Jing to make sure I have a good spread of options.

Haqqislam not getting much love in the recent releases it seems. Last month it was just the Janissaire (who was already available in the starter box, right?) and none in the February batch.

Probably for the best as it'll allow me to catch up a bit!

Nice releases though, as ever. I do like that Jotum. And of course the Custodier pose/sculpt is awesome.

can they please do a zouaves without an SWC cost already!

Aye Max, but there are other factions with more unreleased models... Pan O have the most yet to release, and I'm not talking about models we have but with different weapons configurations. There are quite a few gaps to bridge, so I wouldn't be surprised to see an occasional missed faction here and there.

There is a lot of wtf about the zouave on the forums. It's a great sculpt but really it could have waited for the sectorial to be released... in fact a few people are betting that it will be in the box set.

Personally I'd like to see De Fersen make and appearance, and the missing sepulchre knight! Give it a couple more months and I'm hoping we will see the Seraph finally.

I like the Yu Jing remotes, they remind me of starship trooper bugs hehe.
Myrm is a myrm, zouave is a nice sculpt. The custodier has a nice pose, snapping back a shot over her shoulder. We saw the Jotum earlier, but I will reiterate that it is an amazing looking TAG.

Can't wait for next month's releases now!

Personally I just got some more models for my own forces: A 2nd Knight of Montessa which I will convert, an Imperial Agent Pheasant Rank and waiting on a split box for the Celestial Guard with Control Device to use as a hacker.

I still haven't decided if I will be playing MO, Ariadna or Yu Jing at the tournament yet! At least I have the schemes done for all of them now anyway hehe.

It was a total blast. 26 players with 2 interchangeable lists , 13 tables , 6 mission scenarios and an outstanding VIP visiting staff: Carlos Llauger aka Bostria, Jose Luis Roig (CB's fulltime sculptor: everthing PanO, allmost all REMs and TAGs in the game and many non Yujing HIs) and also Juan Navarro (freelancer, touches regularly almost any faction but specially all non robotic Aleph's units and Nomad's Bakunin, also cool JSA units like Oniwaban or Haramakis and many hot females like Odalisques) who paid us a visit Saturday's afternoon (he's from Barcelona).

As an interesting note, PanO and Haqqislam players were half of the participants, more concretely 8 PanO and 5 Haqqislam.

The top ten winners
-1 Yurian - YuJing with ISS
-2 Glaurung -Haqqislam with Generic
-3 Sir William - PanO with Generic
-4 Crave - PanO with Generic/Acontecimento
-5 Sr - PanO with NeoTerra/Acontecimento
-6 Hellois -PanO with Generic/Acontecimento
-7 Aguss -Ariadna with Generic
-8 HMG -Combined Army with Morat Agression Force
-9 Iagoblackened -PanO with Generic/Acontecimento
-10 Ivalonso -Nomads with Generic

In conclussion, all factions with exception of Aleph placed within the first 10 positions. Showing a very strong dominance of PanO (5 of 8 players! , maybe it is time to start thinking PanO is really slightly favored at current with a small advantage edge over the rest of factions). Aleph presence was weak, only two players that placed 17th and 25th. Which obviously shows the shortcomings of that faction. However Aleph players will be relieved to know the confirmation that as Bostria already had said in an english interview video, Aleph is getting the greek sectorial in the campaign book to boost that faction. Actually it's the only faction getting a new sectorial in the upcoming expansion. Linkable Myrmidons confirmed, however Achilles won't link with them (further tests have shown is completely over).

Regarding upcoming news. At moment we're awaiting for someone to show better pics of the display, which shows two of the releases for this month, more concretely, Hafza Sptifire and Merovingian Starter (3 metros, Paracommado HMG, last month's Zouave DEP and Moblot girl body with a new pair of arms wielding a rifle). The upcoming months will see a lot of resculpts and Corregidor will get some love once again. It's a good time to be Haqqislamist, specially Qapu Kalqi, which can start saving up for the upcoming two linked team boxes and a resculpted unit box coming during this year.

And finally a little spoiler here, the unknown Haqqislam unit we saw the art last time, it's called "Sekban" and is a new MI for the Qapu Kalqi.

By the way, I placed 13th with YuJing Generic/JSA, so I guess it's fine.

Pretty cool news, wish I'd been to Barcelona in the weekend to see all the new shiny toys. Interesting to see the final 10 of the open too, especially the fact that shock army was so over represented - and they performed well too, half of the final 10! That is one of the two factions I like the least, along with Knightly Orders.

ps. Renamed and stickied the thread.

woot looking good.... but still no sign of the campaign book

No, by the look of the reports coming in I'll guess they will put it off 'til summer. Maybe they want to release it at GenCon; these kind of trick always bring a lot of people to the stand at conventions, and GenCon is inarguably the single most important for game companies.
just my £0.02...

Oh, and the aforementioned MI for Qapu Kalqi

News from Maya: Jotum gets patched.

Loss of Heavy Grenade Launcher makes me a sad panda. Gains DERP and Heavy Flamethrower, +1 PH and is 6 points cheaper. Thoughts dear Infinity monsters?

Yeah there is a big discussion about it on the forums:
http://www.infinitythegame.com/forum/sho...p?tid=9676

To be honest, I agree with the consensus that it's a pretty decent change. Sitting back and lobbing grenades with a beast like that would just be silly tactics. The new profile fits the fluff more as an armoured assault TAG... ALSO most importantly it fits the model now lol.

New Hafza model, dont recognise the gun

http://studiogiraldez.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/hafza.html

Its the Haq Spitfire

Yeah, BoW did an early preview, I quite like it. Shame I don't plan on collecting Haq anytime soon or he would definitely feature. I have two match ups against Haq this tournament, never even played against them before! lol
On is sectorial (not hassassin t'other one).

I do like that model, now the warmachine slow grow is over I am going to start playing again with my Haq and Aleph forces

Plenty of tricks in the Haq arsenal

* Naffatun are inexpensive troops with heavy flamers,
* Ragik AD troops with HMG and are dogged, have one of them with a few orders and watch it outflank and ruin anything it sees.
* Lasiqs are just hated, viral sniper rifle with climb+ and Mimetism
* Asawira, a tough heavy with regen for any lost wounds yet still quite quick - with a spitfire this guy is a right bastard
* Azra'il, the other heavy and cheap ap rifle+panzerfaust or the Feuerbach (never used it as quite expensive but probably going to kill anything it can get close to)

Are you, me and Jinx clones?

I also play Haqq and Aleph. Odd. I'm sure Jinx and I have had the chat about how many factions we overlap on in various tabletop games.

Notice you didn't mention Fiday as a "trick". Guess he's too bloody obvious. Though not to his victims!

I didn't know HGL is that good. Welcome on board maghariba

But it was phase of Jotum Assault battle plan! Phase two use Visors and HMG's to make dispersed/disorganised enemy very dead.

Yeah... now you just have a really hard arse TAG which can dodge on 18 unmodified. That's one nimble TAG! Shame I can't put it in my MO lists.
