August releases

As always CB delivered another month of excellent releases, even thought it is August.

Starting with the least intresting, Naga hacker.
Not the least intresting because of the sculpt or the troop type, but because its a repackage, in single blister, from the Alephs starter pack, now in blister form he is ideal for any Acontencimento player thinking about solid hacker support.

Which brings us to Acontencimento starter pack
Its the starter pack everyone expected to come after the release of the second blister of Acontecimento regulars, the pack is essentially a bundle of previously released models as is the case of most starter packs with the exception of the Akalis, the Akalis is indeed a repackage of the old Akalis but with a new hands that give him a boarding shotgun.
Quite a good resculpt, the pose feels natural and flowing as if it was a new sculpt.

Next we have a Keisotsu Butai with Missile launcher.
Much wanted from JSA players, its quite a good sculpt, nice pose with a "I blasted you to pieces" feel on it.


Next we have a total resculpt of the Hungries
While keeping all the aspects of the hungries intact, CB managed to re-imagine them in a far better form, smaller than the older versions, they fit better to their description and with the change from hoofs to claws and the additions of jaws and exoskeleton, they look not only more menacing, but have much more character too.

Finally my favourite release for August, The Metros
A much awaited release from Merovigian sectorial players, I am sure they were disappointed, as usual CB shows their usual high quality level of quality and design, both models have nice combat poses and one can see them on the field one looking over the corner for the target and the other going in position with his DEP.
For me the DEP metro is the best release this month, the whole model shows a skilled veteran of many battles and I love it.
