There's one minor point that I haven't seen addressed about the rules yet: the font size. Good heavens, is that a six or seven point font and its still 57 pages for the core rules (excluding the background material and army lists)?
Kinda both, the forusm needed to match the new site layout and it is supposed to keep out the spam bots too. I've also noticed it's a LOT faster

Yeah the main thing that isn't apparent from the pics is there is actually 4 "limbs. 2 are "legs" for the back wheels, one in the front wheel, the other is the gear load out.
However, I keep thinking of a horribly bad cartoon from the 80s

Ive been wanting to get in to the game, ive gotten the rule book a couple of starters, army builder thing, everything i need, the only problem i cant paint these models for all the detail on them and it kinda drives me away from to play it. I guess ill just have to take more time on painting.
Solid patches of color and washes. Their are indimidating as hell but they still look good if you just do the basics of washes and drybrushing. The big upside though is that it's only like 10 models you REALLY need to paint to field.

Another +1 for thinning your paint (with water and some 5$ acrylic paint thinner from an art store). Then using it as washes over base coats.
I did up 6 Haqqislam in about 4 hours that way, and they look perfect for the table-top. The detail takes washes superbly.
Admittedly, I used to spend 4 hours on a single model because I was a perfectionist (despite being mediocre) but with 8 month old twins it's either speed paint, or no paint!
This thread is a breath of fresh air compared to the conversations in the 40k forums.
Just picked up a PanO Shock Troop starter and Aleph Starter last night. This game looks amazing and seems to be a following here in Adelaide as well. Sweet.
Can't wait to get into it! Will certainly be relocating my dakka attention here for a while...
I have no interest in playing the game, as everyone I know is loving the the Malifaux (myself included) however this thread has made me look at some of the minis, and honestly, I really like the Knights so I'm thinking of picking some up just for painting (Cos Knights are cool, whatever the century!)
Do they come in blisters/clamshells or is there a box set? Inifinitys website seems to indicate there isnt a stater box of them and I can't work out whether their blisters contain 1 or more of the minis?!
It contains all four knights in the box. If you look under the name in the top right, you can see a box shape and four human shapes to indicate that there are four in a box.

KoganStyle:
There are some limitations, you can only have 2 kinds of Knights from the orders in your force and there are 5 or 6 orders in total iirc.
You choose a main and a secondary Order, you may have up to 4 of the main order and 2 from the secondary.
You will be playing a stupid amount of points to be able to field all 6.
Perkustin:
- The two rulebooks have the background in them.
- There are no codexes, every army have lists in the two rulebooks.
You can check the book in this russian vids. Two hand passing the pages, as simple as that.
Notice that 3/4 of the book is background and art. Many people think that Infinity Rulebooks are the same as the free rules to download, they are so wrong.

How large is a typical game of Infinity? I'm thinking about getting one of their recommended 300 point armies. Also, I don't see any army lists or points values in their downloadable rules. Are these just a few of the rules and I will have to buy some books or can I get all the info I need for free
Hey, although I'm a bit of a newbie myself I will try and answer your questions.
How large is a typical game of Infinity? I'm thinking about getting one of their recommended 300 point armies
I believe typical games range from 150-300+, although it is recommended to start with smaller games. The rules are more complex than GW's core games, with more going on on the tabletop, so it is also recommended that some of the more dynamic rules (guided missiles, TO camoflauge troops, defensive hacking etc.) wait until you have a couple of games under your belt (and understand the core stuff) before you start using. Personally, I am making up a couple of 200pt forces to begin with, and then going from there.
Also, I don't see any army lists or points values in their downloadable rules
The points values are in the Infinity army builder, which is available for free either online, or in a downloadable form:
Are these just a few of the rules and I will have to buy some books or can I get all the info I need for free?
All of the rules are available online and downloadable for free. One of the awesome things about Infinity, with the lack of 'WYSIWYG' (letting you proxy models, a good way to find if you like the way something plays before you buy it) and the free rules it is one of the cheapest games on the market to get into. That being said, the rule books (2 of them released so far) are really nice: They have loads of background and nice artwork that is only available through them. So, they are not strictly a necessity if you want to play the game, but if you are like me and enjoy the feeling of a nice big rulebook in your hands they are definitely a recommended purchase
Hope that helps! I can't recommend this game enough, it has revitalised my interest in wargaming, there are so many fresh ideas in it and the models are absolutely beautiful and a step above pretty much anything else on the market at the moment.
