It looks like we've finally got enough momentum to get an ongoing INFINITY news and rumors thread up and running.

So, we can keep this one updated with the monthly releases, as well as any other bits of news, rumors, etc.

To start thing off, here are some sneak peaks of April's releases:

Haramakis for Yu Jing



Uberfallkommando Chimera for Nomads:



An Uberfallkommando team is 1 Chimera and up to 3 Pupniks...

Hot damn!! Both those previews are off the wall! I can't belive how good this system and supporting miniatures range is.....

With two rulebooks inbound and a small pile of Ariadna hotness on my desk awaiting painting, consider me a subscriber.

Damn that Chimera, is almost, I mean almost enough for me to start collecting the nomads, alongside my combined army.

It's a bit of a weird choice for Nomads, IMO.

I know they have the anime catgirl doctor, but the style of the Chimaera model looks more Ariadna to me. The Dog Soldier is Ariadna.

Infinity gives me the feeling that occasionally they let the sculptors make whatever the hell they like, and write up a justification for it afterwards. (See Daktari, Zoe and Pi-Well, Krazy Koalas, Dog Soldier...)

Don't you go dissing the Dogfaces!

I do wish we'd see a literal Drop Bear courtesy of Ariadna though.

Parachuting Grizzly Bears. DO WANT.

Those are the only thing I don't like about Ariadne: them furries. Other than that, a good range.

Der Morlocks are also gene tamperers in the Nomad range. Think Splicers from Bioshock.

Finally find someone to play with Alpharius?

Aye, don't like them either. While the background gives some good reasons for why the woofies and splicers are there, I just don't like them.

Chimera is an awesome sculpt.

I think that the goat-guy is not the Chimera itself. I think that mini is one of the pupniks. In the official forums the users are expecting in next months the Chimera leader and the other two pupniks. Given the name of the unit, they expect the pupniks to be one with a lion head and the other with a dragon head.

Eager to see if this bares fruit, very eager.

Almost maybe?

Empchild is dabbling, and he'll hopefully be opening up a store near(ish) me soon.

Other than that, I think the "paint up two factions and demo them myself" route will be the way to go!

Hello,
From the point of veiw of someone that sells painted minis, and does some "unusual" commisions, furries sell really well. So keep them coming.

Regards,
Carl

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure of that myself, to be honest!

I'm even more psyched for these guys - especially if there's a Lion and Reptile/Serpent version coming - along with the Chimera...itself!

Glad that Nomads were my first faction!

All the attention being given to Infinity the past week has gotten me interested in the game, and I'll probably buy some models...once I figure out which faction I want.

Well, both releases look nice - I wodner what the goat head guy would be compared to a clawed fiend. The sculpt looks better, imo.

The newly redesigned website is much better for showing off all the models in each faction.

I know, I've been looking at them all and the only ones I'm not sold on so far are Ariadna (furries) and Combined Army (not sure why really). I'm looking at Yu Jing and Haqqislam the most.

I received my order from the sale this morning. I still haven't opened the box yet. They sent it to my office, too many eyes looking

Seems like infinity week event was a sucess, heres the infinity report and thank you to all involved and community...

I like these little kind of things, a nice way to communicate with your clients...

I've got a feeling I'm going to enjoy this family a lot.

The key thing was the 50% off.

I've been thinking about Infinity for years -- literally. I bought the 1st edition rulebook when it came out. The price of models put me off, thanks to the strong Euro vs £.

Now I have three starter armies, which is the big hurdle crossed, and I can add them them a few figures each month.

Lots of people must be the same.

Seriously. Was just over there and pretty blown away by the army display pages

- Salvage

I'm going to see if I won the BoW contest (fingers crossed!).

If not? Well... time to start saving!

Did they announce it yet?

I didn't see it anywhere.

Indeed this was a very clever move to lure people to join in. I have been Infiniting for some years now and have nice collection of yujings so far but believe me guys... every month for the next years you are going to be tempted to buy more minis for your faction... every couple months theres something tasty and new for you to buy for your army.

Not yet - they said they'll be announcing it this week.
