Cover looks like it's a miniature which is different. 

It's Ken Coleman, who primarily works in digital.  I assume he's manipulated either a photo of an Exterminator mini or more likely the 3D mesh for the mini.

Though I have to say I won't expect the Blue Star Irregulars having salvaged a Exterminator.  However, there was limited batch run of them with no stealth in TRO: 3025.  So who knows.  I'm definitely getting this book when I get out of work.

They were ex-SLDF, not the first time former SLDF units were noted in more recent sources to have kept some SLDF designs alive, even downgraded during the Succession Wars.

Bought and read the ELH story, another good read.

Did something i'd not done after finishing the story and scrolled to the end eras section towards the back, hadn't noticed before that after the listing for the IlClan era that it mentions the clan homeworlds.

So this is a new Era for Battleetch, also the Game?

Ilclan era is 3051+, and the current edge of the timeline (excepting the intro blurbs in the TROs)

3151?

I know that IlClan is a new Era, I mean that Clan Homeworlds part.

It’s just something that tells you a thing happens in the homeworlds. It’s ahistorical as it refers to anything between Op Exodus and the current time. It’s not an era in and of itself

It can take a while sometimes. As soon as Amazon decided to activate PoD… which has no discernible reasoning as far as I can tell

There has deffinately been a slip lately Not just the delayed products but also stuff that has been released has not been done so properly. Blood Avatar and the latest ELH short are still not up on amazons kindle store two weeks after release.

Hopfully it is just a case of they set themselves too ambitious a release schedule and not a sign of some larger issue.

I remember when the policy was to not give a projected release date, or even quarter, until it was in their warehouses...because of all the delays that could happen. I mean, remember the very long delay on Handbook: Kurita in the Handbook series started by Fanpro? Look at how long from when ilClan was announced to when it finally came out..

Remember when TacOps got delayed in its initial release by almost a year? Honestly, the fact that CGL has gotten this close on their projected release dates to their actual is somewhat amazing, even though you cannot get physical product anywhere except their store for 2 months after the product comes out..(I mean, that is how long it took me to get my copy of ilClan from my FLGS distributor...something about "The distributor was reluctant to carry it because the game is going to be dead in 6 months.")
