Nice!

REALLY liking the Merovingian Starter and the Gwailos w/ Spitfire.

I've no idea who/what the Druze Shock Team is, and given that Mercenaries aren't allowed in Tournaments (Right?) I'm not sure if I'd buy them - but they are really nice looking miniatures!

I just noticed something really nice about the Druze Shock Team...

They have the exact same Combi Rifle as ALEPH models.

I think I just found my Posthumans.

For Ariadna, thats the french part of the faction yeah?

Oh and loving Sun Tze, was likely to be getting Yu Jing eventually anyways, but now its pretty much a certainty.

Merovingia=French, yes.

There is an exception, mercenaries that are part of a sectorial's regular allotment are allowed in tournament use by that sectorial. I believe there is a haqqislam sectorial that uses them and yuan yuan as standard troops. either way the minis look great.

Also, loving the new Sun Tze. The old one was a little meh, the 2.0 will be a mainstay in my YuJing force.

Badass Sun Tze v.2 is badass!

Nice to have finally Druze stuff, and Merovingian Starter and... and an expensive month D:

I didn't know that - thanks!

I may have to pick them up after all... ouch!

Qapu Khalqi is the sectorial you referred to. Few days ago I pasted some rumours saying that this sectorial would see a cople of boxes this year. Maybe this guys are the first ones, after all they can be linked in the Qapu Khalqi sectorial.

This company is the fething ELITE of the miniature business.

Every month... awesome miniatures, every month, month by month, eye candy, for years...

Bugger, picks blocked at work. To the phone!

A Druze dude is equipped with Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower. In the Infinity Army webapp it's a Light Grenade Launcher.

:S

Edit:

I think they just wrote it wrong in this pic, the weapon looks a grenade launcher rather than a flamethrower.

Eh last time we assumed this the Jotum got changed to a HFT from a HGL. I'm all for the Druze changing to a LFT though because LGL + XVisor is pretty disgusting.

I think you have CB on the phone or somethin', seems like they heard you.



Look at the name of the weapon, they've changed it.

argglbarrgl...so good.
I wonder if the Druze sculptor also did the Muyibs? Proportions seem similar.

LOL they're quick. Now my webcam is starting to look kind of creepy... I've been hacked by ALEPH

I'm actually saddened about the Merovingian pack:

It comes with male-with-hair Metro, but doesn't come with the DEP-Metro that he was originally packaged with.

If you want the DEP-Metro, you'll get another male-with-hair Metro.

It's to be excepted, they have done this with a few of the sectionals so far.

That happens with a lot of starters. Basic troopers being available in blisters of two, and one of them not being included in the starter.



It's not great, but it's not as bad as having WFB infantry units with 12 and 16 miniatures per box.

That's not the case.
Muyibs' sculptor is Carlos Torres. Druze were done by... surprise, surprise... Pedro Fernandez. The guy responsible for an important part of the Merovingian line (Metros, Zouaves, Loup Garous) and a few Caledonian works: Cateran, William Wallace, SAS chain rifle and Cameronian, as well as generic Ariadna 112. As it can be seen this guy's style is more focused towards historic, given the level of detail shown in his sculpts and the trend for contemporanian style troops (Ariadna is not very Sci Fi). However he had done the Nomad's Bakunin UberFall Kommando and now he does these Sci Fi merc troops, the Druze Shock Team.

Thanks for the info Janzerker!

Wow.. I think this is the first time I will be buying 2 box-sets in a month! The Morovingians are just stunning, and the Druze guys (I had no idea who they were before!) are definitely going to be a purchase.

With a bit more yellowy helmets think they look kind of like the mercenary guys from that old game 'Haze'

Or they're just the right shape for my Garrus Vakarian conversion! Hmmm... those models look good.

I hear a lot of murmers about the Merovingians, a lot of people dig the models.

I've even been thinking about picking them up... should be a lot of fun to do a quick dropping, mobile force.

And the Loup Garous are great models too.

This weekend shall be expensive.

Plus, how can you resist the allure of...

...Equipe Mirage-5!

Answer: you can't!

Those Druze are amazing.

I'm not sure about Sun Tze v.2 though. He looks like he's encroaching on the Warhammer aesthetic, which I'm increasingly repulsed by. I could deal with the large shoulder pads, the huge, spiky doo-dads on the back, or the comically-oversized gun raised into the air as if it had no weight, but the combination of the three is a big ole' DO NOT WANT from me.

I can kind of understand why they designed him that way. After all, isn't Sun Tze in Infinity supposed to be an android constructed by Aleph to be more of a morale/societal influence than an actual fighter? So in that light it kind of makes sense that the armor is essentially an elaborate eye-catching device to frame an un-armoured head. But I hope we don't see that trend continue in other Infinity releases.

Yep! I can't wait to paint those two. Beauty and Beast company go!

Yes that's right, he is meant to be constructed to be an avatar of the real Sun Tze, and I guess the closest thing Infinity has to a 'character' model.
You're right though, generally they are not that kind of OTT style (although in this case I think it's a great sculpt!)

The older version is still available. It's a different option of the army list. You might like it better http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/sun-tze/

Lovely miniatures all of them. This range is awesome!

Spoiler:

Those are incredible. While I realize they're Mercenaries and thus will cause consternation amongst others, they make a cool mercenary element for a Qapu Khalqi force.

While I'm buying the books now that I have my 200pt Haqq list, those Druze and a Hafza for the link team will be my first purchase post-rulebooks.

Oh wow. I totally forgot that the Druze could be legally taken in a QK Haqq Sectorial. Damn. I guess I have another Infinity purchase for this month.
