NEWS: from Malaga. There was a tournament this weekend and the CB staff showed this: ALEPH Probots







These remotes have the "EVO repeater" option and they have the "Baggage" skill, they carry the army supplies.

Nice - but it looks like CB is taking 'fiddly bits' to all new levels of small and frustrating!

Thanks for finding and posting!

Lovelly new minis and stylish design on these

Thanks for the pics.

K the more and more I look at it the more I like it. The big thing about it that the pics don't really show well is that it looks like it have 4 appendices not 3. Their is two back "legs" that have the big wheels in the back, it's right "arm" is the front wheel, and the left "arm" is the gear (combi or evo). So from the looks of it, it could technically stand up on it back wheels and the backpacks resting on the ground.

Envisioning it in a standing up version gives it a bit more credibility, and this position is it zooming around to match the size profile as the other equivalents. I will say though that it looks like a PITA to put together lol. My experience with the ammo chains is enough to give me nightmares, but it pays off in the end.

Nomad 1: "Oh, no! Aleph Probots!"
Nomad 2: "Quick! Up these stairs."
Probot: "..."

Yeah. Not sure about these new additions to the Aleph range. However, I recently had the chance to have an intro game of Infinity at Salute 2011 and I was totally sold.

I'd previously been put off because I found the rulebook nearly impenetrable (and I still do), despite the appeal of the miniatures. But having had a demo game and got my head around the basic mechanics, I'm now totally determined to get into Infinity.

Which is annoying, because I had previously determined to get into Malifaux and, having now played a couple of games, don't like it anything like as much as I like Infinity.

If you've ever played Dark Heresy or any of the other 40kRPGs, the Actions system, FtF rolls and AROs are very reminiscent of the combat system for 40kRPG, but finetuned for a competitive skirmish game.

I'm in love.

You should do yourself a favor and search out the 're-edited' copy of the English Rules - it helps a lot!

haha yeah I'm iffy on the model, but then again I applaud them for such a unique mini and I'll reserve judgement till I see it in person.

The rules book should really only be a reference tool and nothing more. Learn via tutorials, screw up, ask questions, read infinity wiki, rinse repeat. After a few games you have the majority of things down, but jsut like the first couple dozen games of 40k you'll look back and say "damn it we messed that up". Infinity wiki is your friend.

Some guy has just received his Haramaki Zensenbutai box and he did upload it to show some new pin-up in it.



I guess that probably the Bakunin Überfallkommando would also have a cool painting in the box.

You and I have very different definitions of "Pin-up."

+362436 to that

Wehrkind wrote:You and I have very different definitions of "Pin-up."

From Wikipedia:

"In comic books, a pin-up is simply a full-page piece of artwork, most often without dialogue, that showcases a character, group of characters, or significant event, published within an issue, rather than made available by itself as a poster.

In professionally published fan magazines for films and television series, a posed photograph of actors or actresses from the subject matter, but might also showcase specific scenes from the subject matter in photograph form (called stills) are occasionally called pin-ups. The label is very casual, though, as these types of fan media are more accurately described as posters."

I like my definition better, no matter how narrow

I'd like to see what the next wave of miniatures turn out to be!

We know, I think, about the Aleph remotes, so... what else?

I'm really hoping for a T.A.G. for either the Morat or Shasvastii sectorials...

Angel the freelance painter out of spain that does the Infinity stuff put up a teaser of what many are thing is the Yu-Jing TAG. However, he likes to mess with people



The last one is the one guessed as the TAG because it is about the right size and the blurred out image matches the book art. My guess is it's an ALEPH Netrod

Do they have a release cycle anywhere, where we at least know what models will be coming up in the near future? I'm curious to see what they do for Patroclus and the Proxies.

Naw they don't keep a long term release schedule public. The typical schdule is the first week of the month they release the product disclosed the month prior while teasing us about the upcoming release. Mid month they fully disclose what the next month product will be. Stand release per month is 4 factions get a new blister or box, alternating who gets left out.

Last month was:
- CA: Blister
- Nomads: Box
- Yu-Jing: Box
- Haqq: Blister

This month:
- ALEPH: Probots (almost certain)
- ?
- ?
- ?

BD - do they really stick to NOT releasing stuff for a faction 2 months in a row?

I've never paid enough attention previously to notice!

(Also - can everyone please note the thread title before posting in any thread? Thanks! )

Hey Alphy, if I may make a suggestion, could you change the title of the thread with an 'updated on' field so it is easier to tell when a release occurs? Like the Scibor thread, it is a bit hard to tell when there is something new to look at.

Alpharius wrote:BD - do they really stick to NOT releasing stuff for a faction 2 months in a row?

Well there is 7 factions and mercs, and there is commonly factions that get things 2 months in a row. I think Nomads are on month 3 of a release in a row.

Well... inspired by the first part of Neuromancer (and my fixation on Ghost in the Shell), I've ordered my very own Yu Jing army. Most likely going to be a display-only factor, but I can't wait to paint them up in a way that reflects the atmospheric elements of Neuromancer.

Good idea - anytime there's New News, I'll do just that!

Right now, on the Infinity facebook page. Sr. Massacre!

Senor Massacre.

...Glorious name

Nom nom nom nom

That makes:
- ALEPH: Probots
- Mercs: Senor Massacre
- Possible yu-jing TAG
- ?

Senor Massacre?!?

An odd choice for a release, as I've never been a big fan of the Mercenaries subset, but, a fantastic miniature nonetheless.

I see the obvious "counts as" possibilities if for some reason someone who doesn't play INFINITY (!) wants to purchase him...

So far it is shaping up to be a cheap month for me, so that's always a good consolation prize, I guess!

Thats going to be my 3rd Merc purchase... Viva o Sr Massacre!

That is a fairly sexy model! How many imperial assassin counts as do I need? Apparently one more...

NnNNNNNooOOOOoooOOOOoo.......come on this stuff is too good to waste on WH40K, please don't do it

To be honest, anyone buying Infinity miniatures is going to be a good thing for the company.....it's just a shame that it's not always associated with the game, still, sales is sales....I bet CB won't be complaining....or maybe they will.

I love this mini, and it's on my shopping list......how long before I crumble and start buying the complete list for Ariadna and Combined Army?.....I must hold out, a little longer.

no joke, thats ace!!

i actually picked up my first infinity model at a con last weekend. beautiful stuff. and nicely priced as well!!
