3rd Edition! BoW Video
We'll be posting on Facebook as well, since stuff is going on there! Keep an eye out!

New releases

Warcor Update! = on hold due to technical problems... Yasbir said something about an app?

BoW stated Infinity 3rd Edition will come later this year!

In less than an hour Bostria is going to release some good news for us!

3rd edition announced. Learning from the errors or 2nd take 2? We will see.

BoW Video is a waste of 28 seconds. You have been warned.

There is a change already, but about announcements: May miniatures listed in April. Trying to read the photo... next time zoom, the wall is useless.

Kazak something, Sniper.
Santiago Knights, box of 4.
Raiden Senbutai, HRL.
Nomad Interventors, box of 2 plus 2 pandas?
Agema Marksmen, Sniper Multi.

I'm confused by the box of four Santiagos. Are they getting a new profile?
We already have the Spitfire and Combi, short of a boarding shotgun that is all the profiles they have. Unless they just include a four throwing grenades to fill in whatever profile you want.

Maybe a repack? Or some new, some old miniatures?

CB site is 100% fucked currently.

A repack would be obvious to include the two already released, but why make two more currently? Surely there are other, perhaps better, examples for a new box of four...

Confirmed, Fast Pandas. Must be the helper bots.

Maybe the Kazak is Spetsnaz. The start looks similar, but longer... or font playing tricks.

From other forum, yes, Spetsnaz.

Other info, top blister sellers:
Reverend Custodiers Combi+Repeater
Achilles
Kitsune
Chandra SpecOps
Ajax
Ikadron Batdroid & Imetron
Holy Sepulchre Knight
Wildcats Spitfire
Intel SpecOps
Tank Hunter Autocannon

And you know what? I stop. Most photos are like master trolling. Poor framing + low resolution = darn hard to read... waste of time.

But from other places, I took the following info: LoS changes, it seems now every troop will have a width and height, and you can aim at any place. No more doubts about visible or not because the miniature is doing this or that.

Retreat and Loss of Lt will get changes too. So will Close Combat. And Shotguns.

A Spetsnatz Paratrooper?

Huh. I mean, we've already got French Paras, now Russian Paras, and a Character American Para... are we going to get generic american paratroopers also?

I've often found BoW videos to be a waste of bandwidth, let alone time. There's just something about rabid fanboy enthusiasm that puts me off.

As it is, that 30 second video tells me nothing a single frame saying "Infinity 3rd ed, coming soon" wouldn't. It's all flash and not a lot of substance - which may work well for the i-crowd, but that style of "marketing" doesn't work on me.

In other videos we got images of new miniatures. And I think in interviews you could watch Bostria in all his bostriasiness. I was expecting... dunno... the cover? But not even that. Just the new logo and lots of video effects.

Better pictures of Ficzone 2014. Things are readable in the zoomed versions. And even more on BigBrother, with 3d sculpts, just a bit washed out.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

I am liking everything, specifically that Assault Pack Controller and Heavy Support Invincible.

...and Adam Jensen in a dress.

Confirmed: the new book is a fix of the basic rules. It will keep Human Sphere and Paradiso valid, and "2nd Ed" book will be replaced with this "3rd Ed". It was called a "resculpt".

So I guess, at best, we will see some profiles and weapon changes that are required for everything to work in unison. Along the clarifications and fixes of the skills, etc, but that will be all, nothing from other books will move into it if they think they need no changes.

Cool! Have you got a source? Bostria's seminar?

Yes, the videos. Acheron Falls goes after this, based in the mockup he did.

Cool, thanks for the heads up! My Spanish isn't good enough to follow the videos. I think I'll work on that after I graduate!
Seems like MayaCast is faster than BoW to deliver the FicZone news; their 2nd episode of the podcast is up on May 1st.
Can't wait to know in it's entirety what has been said during the seminar!

BoW Bostria interview is out. Check the Haqq Ghazi Muttawi´ah inspiration.
