Love the Custodiers fig. If they are from the same group as the Morias, I'd have liked them all looking like that. Excellent fig eitherway, and one I'll cerainly be picking up.

They're somewhat related to the Moiras.
Nomads hate Aleph and have something called The Observance to combat it.

Reverend Moiras are at the forefront of the anti-Aleph force.
Reverend Custodiers are the specialists in this.
Sin-Eater Observants are ritualists, in a sense, and are assistants to all the Reverends.

Nomads hate Aleph in a religious way, and the Observance combats them. The Reverends are female. The Observants are male.

Infinity February 2012 releases:

Zouave with Assault Pistol




Jotums from Svalarheima





Panggulings




Reverend Custodier




Myrmidon Spifire

You know, I didn't notice it before, but that Myrmidon is standing on top of a rock... just like the Myrmidon Officer. Somewhat of an oddity of Myrmidons standing on rocks. It's great that they found an imposing pose.

The Yaopu is a convoluted mess. Exceptional quality as always, but the design choices make it look like someone cobbled together airplane scraps in order to make it look like a mantis...and painted it using traffic sign colors.

The Pangguilings... or however that's spelled... I think they look awesome. But they also look like they are rocket boosters with legs attatched. I wish they gave a better shot of what those huge cylindrical bits look like from behind.

I like that Myrmidon, and we all know what we think of the Jotum. If I do PanO I might have to build my force around that model. (I'll have to, it's so many points.)

I agree the Caskuda or whoever it is spelt is joyous insectile horror - I'd like more of that and less of the Avatar tbh.

Not sold on the Raicho sketch just yet.

The Jotum has officially made me start a PanO force.

To The Warstore, double quick!

I like the new Reverend Custodier model.

All the french related Ariadna models continue to be sexy as hell.

Hello
I like the kit that the Zouave is carring it looks realistic despite the color choices.
Regards,
Carl

Does anyone else look at the Panggulings and see this:

Sorry, I don't know how to imbed images... I suck like that.

Can't wait to get the Myr with spitfire, now my Patrocles and Achilles list can be finished off

I'm still waiting for my store to get the Al Hawwa sniper in stock.

Use 'img' instead of 'url'.

Just to show:



And yes, I fully agree.

Well, the Jotun's gone and done it. I'll see how well Warmachine keeps my interest, but at the moment it looks like I'll be picking up a couple of Infinity sets in the near future. I wonder how well the PanO Military Order set works... and the Japanese Sectorial as well.

Hah, I'm still waiting on my Posthumans. Should be in this Friday.

I guess Australia and the US have the same problems when it comes to Spanish imports.

I can't speak for Australia, but we certainly seem to have those problems here in the USA!

There is a fellow on the Inifinity forums called ChoKonnit who sells and ships infinity worldwide and also splits up starter boxes and sells the figures seperately, I regularly buy off him and I live in New Zealand.

I may be in a different situation as you guys since we have no retailers for Inifnity at all but Cho has always been helpful and the packages have only taken a week or two to arrive

Edit:

Here is the forum page I mentioned

http://www.infinitythegame.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6513

Just sign up to the forum ( anyone playing Infinity should have already!) and you can PM Cho with any questions, like I said he is pretty helpful and straight up

At least in the US, the problem isn't really getting the miniatures. The Warstore, Alliance Games, and Warpath games are all distributors that carry Infinity miniatures.

The problem really is that American Distributors get miniatures about a month or two behind Europe.

It's not a terrible problem at all considering I'm months behind on painting my Aleph anyways.

I was hoping for a controller for those nice tractor mules alas... Guess I'll wait another month. I'm gonna need the firepower with these jotums walking around

From the painter's blog.

Having played Military Order, I can tell you this: they are very frustrating for new players (or at least they were for me). The have very few shenanigans, and at first that seems like it makes things easy on a new player. In hindsight, once your opponent starts understanding the rules and all the shenanigans HE has, it becomes difficult to keep your expensive elite troops alive long enough to get anything done.

They're a great army, and a year or two down the road I will probably be kicking myself for having abandoned them (and selling them), but they were crushing my soul in the mean time.

The Pangulings look jumbled yes, but maybe just because they're supposed to be remotes.

I've been looking for parts to base a better-looking Su-Jian off of though, and this might be just the ticket. Conversion would probably be pretty easy.

Now JSA, on the other hand, are super awesome. If you like ninjas (and lots of 'em) or power-armored samurai, take JSA. Also, awesome motorcycle troops. And cheap-o basic troopers that can pack a lot of heavy weapons into your list (link team them to make them worthwhile, though).

They don't have some stuff like airborne troops, but you can just buy a few of those and play generic Yu Jing with your JSA models as the base for the list.

^Thank to the both of you for the info!

Here's a question for the Infinity regulars!

I love the PanO Jotum.

I also love the Acontecimento faction.

I am not so much a fan of the Dragão T.A.G.

Would it be a problem to use the Jotum as a Dragão?

Maybe someday they'll come out with a Svalarheima Sectorial (Nisses and a T.A.G. and not much else, unless there's some new stuff!), until then... what do you think?

Hmmm- it really depends upon your opponent.

In informal games, of course. They're not that different in size.

In a tourney, it would have to be the correct mini since one exists for that option.

BTW, the Drago can be converted to be less silly pretty easily. Converting the gun to carried would be a good start. Just cut it off and mount it on the flamethrower stock (the one in the mini's hands). Then mount the flamer on the side and run the belt feed under the arm instead of over it. Voila, much better-looking Drago.

And btw I'm working on converting my 40K snow table to a Svalarheima table these days. If you ever come over to Seattle, you're welcome to get a game in on it, Alpharius!

If I am even in Seattle, I will take you up on that offer!

I thought the Jotum would be an OK Drago as the Jotum's weapon looks more like an HMC/Flamethrower than anything else!

Well, that and that fact that it is one awesome looking model.

I am not going to worry too much though, as I don't see a lot of Infinity tournaments in my future!

My first thought with the Yu-Jing remote was 'Starship troopers bug', not that there is anything wrong with that! I think it actually suits the Yu-Jing (Chinese) culture, perhaps more so than previous remotes released. Actually just looking at the rules for them, they are kind of cool - I liked the idea of using one as a mine sweeper or Hacking support, although the 'baggage' special rule means that you would give away some VP when it inevitably gets blown up. That being said, 21pts for a 'total-reaction' combi-rifle firing remote, might be useful just having 1 or 2 covering junctions or rear areas when you know some drop troops or sneaky types will be approaching you from behind!

Think perhaps the Zouave is my favourite model though this month, might prompt me to go for that Merovingian (French) sectorial force, they have got a really neat looking collection of minis now..

Have you guys seen the tokens in this pics?




Micro Art Studio has developed those for sale, they are available in this moments in CB website: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendainf.asp?IDNOTICIA=109 (scroll down, it's the stuff in the middle)

They are really cool but... do they have any cons? Oh, yes. The pricing. They are sold in separate sets. Some of them are 4'75€ and others are 7'25€. If you buy one of each of all the different sets, that's 86'5€* worth of tokens. A 300p Infinity army can be cheaper than that. Now THAT's stupid pricing.

* Disclaimer: I might have screwed the addition, I just got up from bed.

Yes they are prohibitively expensive at the moment. However, I think the guy from MAS on the Infinity forums (after requests from posters on there) said that they might be doing a 'basic set' - so a few each of the more popular ones for normal games, then small blisters available if you want more. Good spot though Erasoketa, might be worthwhile keeping an eye on them (they are certainly great looking tokens!)

Ok I need some peoples to relocate to Ohio so I have a far more valid reason of purchasing Nomads ... please?
