Fusiliers SWC Box

[Arachas]

The Missile Launcher is my new favourite Infinity mini.

Also: Spitfire, no HMG!

[Icchan]

Missile Launcher guy doesn't seem too happy to be having to carry the heaviest weapon in the squad.

[Hero of Man]

I'm gonna have Ghulam Hacker High-Five Fusilier Hacker.

[Harlekin]

Spitfire it says but the weapon looks definitely different to the new Spitfire sculpts. I guess, it's just one of CB's typical typos.

[dulydude]

wait whoa what??? i through fusiliers had HMGS!!!

[Zamiel]

I'm buying that box the moment it's available.

[chromedog]

Novel. A spitfire on a second linkable unit for PanO. Bolts are looking less and less special every day now.

I'm inclined to wait and see. CB have made errors on art before - and sites like BoW have perpetuated them - so it means nothing until the product is out. My fusilier HMG will not be a happy girl if she gets removed from the profile (Damnit! Remove ALL the caskuda and bugs you want - leave my HMG girls alone).

[Ben Lehman]

Pretty! I like the sniper, but would love to see her in a different pose.

[Lampyridae]

The "Spitfire" looks different to the new model Spitfire the Bolts carry. I agree this may well be a typo. Also, the Hacker looks like he packs a Combi+LSG.

[Zamiel]

It's an HMG.

I draw this conclusion after comparing the photo to my collection of miniatures, and the weapon's in the Father Knight and ORC troop dossiers.

[Redwulfe]

I'm gonna have Ghulam Hacker High-Five Fusilier Hacker.

Love it, but I think you should go with a bro fist instead.

Wonder twin powers activate, control of a TAG....

[Lupus]

If thats a HMG its a bit weedy compared to some of them out there..But maybe it's made smaller because a girl is carrying it (Yes done for comedy effect folks..)

[Shadow Warrior]

I really like male ones but the rest is not as I wanted to be

[Jiron]

I love the left part of the picture :-). HMG girl and ML guy are just awesome!!!! The others are just... yeah great as well! I don't play PanO but I always liked fusilier models. Now I love them even more.

[Scorch]

Yes, as an NCA player, these are already sold to me xD I like the non-standard ML, and I hope the HMG remains somewhat big in the feminine hands. I did not like the size difference of the combi rifle in O:I.

That's what I'm thinking, if it's supposed to be a HMG.

[Todd]

That's just ridiculous (but probably correct). Why wouldn't you give the smaller more manageable HMGs to everyone then, and not have to manufacture/purchase gender specific weapons?!?

I get it with TAGs. Their weapons are huge, but functionally the same because they look cooler that way.

The "rule of cool" doesn't equate to "girls are dainty, and need special tiny versions of everything."

More like rule of dumbass not understanding item scaling in 3d sculpting...

People are lots of different sizes. Guns are generally all the same size.

But this is making me really excited to see what the new Zanshi and maybe Keisotsu look like. Dude with the ML looks like he's been in combat for years, giving a Corgie soldier a run for how long it's been since he gave a fook.

Yep. I really love the raise in quality from the 3D sculpting, but the old method (sculpting a model in green stuff and adding a metal gun to the model) really had it right on the gun size-section of modeling! I hope they get back to that eventually, or pay more attention to gun size in the render program.

[Todd]

I don't know, I think the gun sizes are definitely intentional. There are way too many opportunities to compensate for it along the path a digital file takes to becoming a miniature. Gutier even said that they sometimes order multiple scales of certain components from the company that prints them, so that they can see what best works in real life. No, it's unfortunately just a case of CB actually thinking tiny ladies with tiny equipment is what looks best.

I agree it's almost certainly intentional. Considering how much attention to detail CB has exhibited.

[Mob of Blondes]

There have been multiple claims that it's "for the aesthetics". Some companies go "heroic", CB goes "aesthetic". Poor 28mm, nobody respects it.

Also the females are far from tiny. They are just thin, but height wise, they are pretty much like the males. Or the combat heels are more like combat gothic boots. They should get orthopedic midsoles in any case, the knee issue is becoming chronic.

The problem is not that women's guns are smaller, it's that in Infinity, men's guns are ridiculously large.

[dulydude]

well that throws a different spin on things!!!

[Jiron]

That's to make them more manly! :-)

[Section9]

Point. But I would be happy with either ladies carrying current guy-size guns or the guys carrying the tiny girl-guns.

Having the two different magazine sizes drives me up the wall... Actually, wait. I bought one of those 1/35 scale Trumpeter weapons sets with 4x M16family rifles and a bunch of spare magazines that just so happen to be the same size as the larger Yu Jing mags. Problem solved!

[Harlekin]

If the weapons were "realistically" scaled they'd probably just look stupid on our toy soldiers. Take a look at the Vortex and you'll know what I'm talking about.
There might be some Pros around, who like it this way, but I definitely prefer the recognizable weapons.
