Looks like Dakka backs the wrong horsey this time as Van Zant won (though not by that much)

Minerbot will be an unlockable goal so really it was just a fight for the order of attainment.
Completely massaging the goals here but...honeslty I have no problem with it.

Minerbot is unlocked. An extra set of translucent dice, and a Van Zant mission, these goals round things out. I'm pretty sure the stretch goals are done. Less than 24 hours to the end.

It does look like fun, and very pretty, but I'm asking myself, will I get ~ USD $150 - USD $300 (w/shipping) worth of fun?

I was thinking that exact though Red Harvest.
For me it is only for the miniatures rather than the game, and with the same things being brought up I have decided to back and then just sell off the factions I dont use/like when it comes in to subsidise the investment.
The inclusion of multiple profiles being used and the Hacker/Engineer models being great fits already I think it hits my break point for that.

(The Stoorworm and Stiendragon will be kept for D&D though)

...or, if it's not that fun. Will you get that value in miniatures?

My problem is I really only want a few of the models - and I don't have the budget now so its one of those " throw in money now and then wait and see if I can save up before the PM ends" kind of deals.

Eh I might just have to cross my fingers that some appear on ebay for the ones I want; or just pass and if they do a late-backers option go for that if I've the cash.

I picked up a set of noctifiers off Wayland during their recent sale and I'd be glad to add this new one to the set.

-New ITS rules etc.
Action pack for Adepticon (if there is an Adepticon. Omicron may have a say in the matter. Or not.) Faction not specified.
A new book.
A new Code One Battle pack for GenCon. Factions not specified, but Haqq and ALEPH are the only factions not currently available.

The classic Yuan Yuan is coming in February. Almost a 1:1 resculpt.

Hey look Ma! Double post
The new ITS is called Blast from the Past. It contains 2 random LE minis (or 1 random LE TAG) from past ITS seasons. It also has the outrage Manga and some other stuff left over from previous years. But each box is different. Ah, so CB has finally read that Marie Kondo book.

They should do a box set with 10 or 20 different robochibis.

Morats were, imo, one of the best ranges in the game. I’m intrigued to see what they do with them, but I’m not convinced it was the best use of resources to redo the whole range for a second time.

The game is large enough it really doesn't need new stuff. Resculpt lines let them get new product out without bloating the game in a way that brings in new players. Makes sense in the current age where you can't really sell anything that's more than a couple years old and works well with rubber molds that wear out pretty quick.

It's also better than when they drop whole lines to add new ones. Eg Aleph recently lost a how fairly newer block of models from their line.

If they hit a practical upper limit of releases then revamping an existing line is superior to removing them and replacing them with a totally new line which only bloats the game rules and means that people have to hunt for secondhand copies or proxies (both of which don't earn the company any money and might even lose them money as secondhand might well cost more than new so people are spending more and more hobby money away from Infinity).


The whole "couple of years old" thing is really something that not so much gamers push but Distributors do so that could certainly be a valid reason for them wanting to flip models with upgraded sculpts. And heck new designs can sell. When they started out I thought Aleph looked the best and Combined Arm had a few nice models but were rubbishy.

Now I feel like Aleph lacks creativity (everythings kinda the same barring one or two); whilst Combined Army is one of their best looking

Expansion, and story progression.

“Infinity: Raveneye” is an expansion for Infinity that broadens its universe and background, focusing on the Military Orders of PanOceania, Ariadna’s Kosmoflot and its new territory of Khurland, the Nomad mothership Corregidor, and the Morat Aggression Forces of the Combined Army, as well as mercenaries for NA2. It also includes three narrative scenarios that recreate the assault on this orbital station, which can be played as a campaign or independently, in addition to painting tutorials for the Military Orders, Corregidor, Kosmoflot, and Morat basic troops.

Are they still doing the 'not including unit stats in the books' thing?

The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.
