Gencon Previews

by ARCangel » August 11th, 2016, 6:30 pm

Ok, so the Infinity presentation at Gencon has come and gone and now we have all the goodies to comb through. What are you most excited/least excited for, what concerns/questions have been raised, did you squee when you saw a particular model?

For me seeing the ASA Regulars was awesome, but the minute I saw the Kamau I just lost it :D I've been wanting a re-sculpt of those bad boys since I started playing the game. I'm also curious about when they might come out. The ORC Varuna Bat guys are another cool one, though I wonder if they're going to be a fully new profile or just a different art style approach to the standard ORC.

With the ASA I'm wondering at the Starter contents because there is a slide that is named "Starter Box" but it only shows a Montessa, Hacker Akal, ASA Regular, and ASA regular with Multi Sniper. My hope is that they're pulling and MO, and giving three ASA Regulars, an ASA Regular with a multi sniper, then the Montessa and Akal. Another odd one was the Bakunin Box slide. Two Moderators, a Die Morlock Gruppe, a Riot Grrl, a Moira, and a Sin Eater. That's an odd amount of non-line infantry models, a weird inclusion of the Riot Grrl, and a big question on if they're going to release blisters or something to flesh out the amount of Moderators you can get. I'm feeling like the Taskmaster also looks a little too CA for my tastes, but the pose is awesome.

Well, for some reason I do not squee...

As for the Bakunin box, I guess there might be a reason behind that. The Grrls need a resculpt - they're using out-of-date weapons, and they are PITA to assemble (for HI, the contact surfaces are very small). 2ed HS sculpt in its finest incarnation. Same with Moira, who is currently the only old-styled Moira available. I guess these are meant to be 5th models to complement the 4-model boxes (the current one of Moiras, and the future one of Grrls).
I expect the Morlock to be armed with some unusual (i.e. rarely seen on a Morlock) weapon - like, Combi+LGL.
And since we're changing the box, the Mk12 SinEater needs a replacement too.
Sure, having only 2 Moderators there makes the concept somewhat enigmatic. Other armeis tend to get 3 basic LI in a starter, then complimented by a SWC box, and maybe - if the list of options is particluarly extensive - with a blister.
Then, there are 8 Moderator profiles, that according to CB philosophy could be narrowed to a SWC box (Spitfire, MultiSniper, Hacker, Rifle+LGL), and the remaining 4 (rifleman, Lt, paramedic and rifleman+Pitcher) could be represented by the usual trio of basic miniatures.

Well, curiouser and curiouser...
They say there will be Heaven and the Fount of Kausar,
That there, there will be pure wine and honey and sugar
Fill up the wine cup and place it in my hand
(For) ready cash is better than a thousand credits.

They absolutely need their resculpts, I just don't know if the box should be flooded with so many special snowflakes unless they plan on giving the Moderators a Hellcat style two man booster of just Combi-Rifles to counter that.
