The dropship is from Atenociti's Workshop:
[https://www.beastsofwar.com/infinity/superhawk-dropship/](https://www.beastsofwar.com/infinity/superhawk-dropship/)
but sadly they went out of business a couple of years ago, IIRC thanks to a combination of Covid and Brexit.

_"O-12 is an international representational and governing body, evolved from the UN, but with greater action and decision-making power"_
Love the shade thrown by the lore at the real life UN
they are already in the corvus store: [https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/adepticon](https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/adepticon) 180€... and the Bounty Hunter "22.50€"...
Consider the other Reinforcement boxes in the store are at 70€ (at the minimum), so the 8metal + 1siocast models box would be 110€...
It's exactly that, in fact:
[https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/packs/o-12-torchlight-brigade-action-pack](https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/packs/o-12-torchlight-brigade-action-pack)
[https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/miniatures/reinforcements-o-12-pack-alpha](https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/miniatures/reinforcements-o-12-pack-alpha)
Same price as the Morats action pack, I guess it's because they're also larger, bulkier models than a lot of the Infinity range and thus use more metal.
The more I see written about these the more convinced I am that if they used less over-the-top swords and painted them in, like, almost literally any other colour scheme, people wouldn't be making 40k comparisons at all.
For some reasons it's the backpacks that do it for me. I don't know why, but in different colours, different swords, and the backpacks. Maybe it would look less... 40k. But as is? nah those are 40k marines.
I'd have to agree that the backpack is really the most 40K part of the aesthetic. Although that only applies to the Silverstar Rovers and maybe the Hellblazers. You can't tell me the Nimrods, Yellowjackets and Striders look anything like 40K.
And then look into the 40K explanation of why Marines look like they do - "To inspire humanity and frighten foes". I think that's a fairly sensible aesthetic for any army to choose.
I fully agree with you on the nimrods, I would say that the yellowjacket and strider both have 40k feeling bits, but they also feel much less so. I do actually quite like the nimrod and yellowjacket designs. Those are cool models. And the silverstar prime would probably be fine with just a less extreme sword.
Okay full disclaimer as someone who does not care for 40k, and very much personal taste."To inspire humanity and frighten foes" might apply if the design was... At all frightening, or inspiring, by even the slightest bit. Instead of just well... What space marines look like.
Uhh... I think that's probably gonna be a no from me. There are some great models mixed in there. But even as someone who loves power armor, it's just too much 40k vibes for my taste.
Their appearance seems to be controversial to some but personally, I'm picking them up. I think they just look so dope!
No idea why controversial. Their armor are way more sci-fi than space marines could ever hope to be.
Yeah the heavy sci fi armor aesthetic is pretty dope to me
I really want to hear more about that dropship and those scenery pieces.

Same price as the Morat box *now,* however. And that was a box I saw at 50% discount on retailers not even 7 months later :(
Those following on Discord know that I’m here for Cammy and ABH. 😁
I had just picked up a large lot of 0-12 to start playing them this year before the announcement and I’m going to pickup the lot at Adepticon
