Ok, so... rumors...

I think that is obvious that this month we are going to get the Haramakis 4 mini box and the Chimera & Pupniks.... box? maybe?
Two 4 minis boxes in the same month? that is unusual for CB. Probably the Haramakis and 4 other blisters, and the Bakunin Uberfallkommando for the next month. I´m just writing my thoughts here.

Blisters speculation:
- Hussein Al Djabel, the Fiday Hero.
- Patroclus from ALEPH.
- Reverend Custodiers for Nomad Army. (because every month there is a cheesecake)
- something awesome with a dirty base and a big gun for Ariadna... I don´t even care what, just make it cool and I´ll buy it.

Why is this cheesecake? In fact, what do you mean by cheesecake every month?

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

I'm pretty certain he's referring to female models, but I have no idea if that unit is typically female in the line.

Just that term is known as a slang for a part of the female body. I may of course be totally wrong mind.

On topic - Hoping to interest Aurelia into the game if possible at some point, she likes some of the models, but has not seen a faction she likes yet. Probably be a way off though, think I'll wait patiently and watch what is released this year and jump in early next.

I agree on the Chimera + 3 Pupniks being a box set offering, and I can't remember the last time CB did that either, so you're probably right and that Nomad offering is most likely another month away...

Nomands or Yu-Jing don't work for her?

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

She actually liked HaqqIslam at the first glance, but there's no immediate rush.

Other things will be on our minds for a while, but I really have little doubt I will be joining you fine folks in Infinity asap.

**NAVARRO**

I'm betting something for combined but Im already happy with incoming Jings

... .

I'm afraid that you're wrong.

Cheesecake is slang for girly pinup style pics. The male equivalent is beefcake. It goes back to the 1950s at least.

The minitures tempted me, the rules intrigued me , the army builder wooed me, my first test match sold me, the 50% off impressed me, and now the community involvement solidified me. I've only been in the hobby for a little over 2 years, so my only experience has been GW (40k, fantasy, BFG) and this is seriously a breath of fresh air. Infinity has turned me into Fanboi status lol.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

@KK - ah, well I was using the online slang finder to respond if I'm honest, and it said on there it was for a 'area' of a woman.

Hadn't heard either slang usage for that word before today.

I definitely have a wishlist for Shasvasti stuff, should CB want to sell me more things sooner than later (fingers crossed for a spitfire, any spitfire!)

Same here, only adjust some of the dates and such as I am a bit older than you!

I was burned by the Great Rackham Debacle of a few years back - Confrontation was a great fantasy skirmish game with incredible miniatures...that suddenly became neither of those things.

I'm glad that I've since discovered CB and Infinity - more of the same, only on the SF side of things!

The "Infinity Week" promotion in conjunction with Beasts of War AND the 50% off sale was a breath of fresh air in the community, and I'm glad to see it was so successful in bringing in so many new players.

**Mastiff**

woot!

Just posting here to get in on the Infinity love. Sweet, sweet minis with great quality casting, realistic proportions and dynamic poses.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Tbh this was a major concern of mine as well. I got into Confrontation literally three or four months before they announced the changes to the larger scale evolvement of the system that would eventually become the pre-painted horror story.

Loved Dirz and Aurelia had some of the Wofen (still has a couple of the females I think) but we both enjoyed it.

I'm hoping the company will continue to go from strength to strength, and ideally a starter box of some kind will be on the horizon by the time I can jump in.

Of course that isn't a deal breaker, but it was the Dirz/Wolfen starter that finally convinced us to give Confrontation a go.

**BlueDagger**

They hinted larger scale infinity in interviews, but sounded way down the pipeline. It's not too far fetched with the use of something similar to linked rules, but we'll see. The big issue I'd see is keeping the tactics, thematics, and supporting the mini range with anything larger scale. The minis have so much character I'd hate for it to become the anonymous blob of men battlefield.

**NAVARRO**

One thing I learned about confrontation was you should stock up your collection before something happens. If your a fan of the miniatures get them asap.

**Sidstyler**

Hopefully the large scale version is an expansion or something, because I'm only even giving it a thought because it's a smaller game and doesn't require a huge investment like 40k.

I also liked the online army builder, though it was in a language I didn't understand and I didn't see any option for english, so...it looked really cool though!

The free version for your own computer is even better - Devil Team really knocked it out of the park with that one!

Seriously - CB does just about everything right in terms of taking care of their fans and community...

Don't feel dumb, I totally didn't catch on for like 3 days after I downloaded it lol.

Woot! The Avicena model for the Bakunin has been leaked! It's the Nomad's WIP 17 model!

NEW infinity templates and objective markers from microart.

http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/infinity-templates-p-530.html

**BobbaFett**

Looks like they bought a huge pack of that green stuff and they want to sell it no mather how.
The templates for grenade/combat Jump and Chain rifle and light flamthrower are fine, but I don´t see the others in Infinity.
Those bullseyes... what are they for? they don´t look like cammo marker, and the forward obervers don´t use markers in this game.
The flags... completely useless. At least until they release that campaign book and you need to play with that kind of stuff.

I find their walls pretty much useful (and expensive, around 6 € each wall).

...and the upcoming buildings can be also the right choice to make a really playable Infinity battlefield.

Also, they already have two bunkers that could work perfectly in an Infinity table, this means :"they block line of fire".

24 € that is very expensive IMHO. And they are not prepainted.
They also have some toxic ciberpunk river pieces, but, Infinity needs cover, the river does not provide any cover, so you will be spending money in making a huge exposure zone where the snipers kill anyone who dares to cross the goddamn river. (mmm?!... sounds cool...)
So, if the f****ng Aquila Guard or the f****ng SinEater Observant is in the other side of the river, crossing that zone is a suicide.

So, finally, if you want to make a Micro Art Infinity table you will be using... I don´t know... 6 buildings and 9 pieces of walls, that is a lot of money. I hope they make an offer some day.

**NAVARRO**

Yeah all microart stuff is on the expensive side but to be honest the pump station and house module do look sweet for infinity... the walls not so much.

**Kilkrazy**

The objective flags and the small geodata markers aren't for Infinity.

The geodata markers would make nice Tau Markerlight tokens, if I'm allowed to say that in an Infinity thread.

The Mini Arts stuff does seem quite pricey.

Having just bought Infinity I need a set of templates and markers. Litko and S6 Engineering do a wide range of markers but the weapon templates are fairly specific.

**Delephont**

Yeah, but with some smart use of power-point and some plasticard could undo those costs, and make the game relatively cheap!

You could just print the templates from the website while you wait for something you like better.

Corvus Belli have added hologram graphics for Infinity to their Downloads page.

From their website:

All along Infinity’s trajectory in the market, many players have requested the image files of the different holograms of Hackers and Engineers, and other graphic items supplied as acetate sheets, be downloadable for use in conversions or scenery projects.

Until now, Corvus Belli usually has sent image files by e-mail to any players who have asked for them. However, this was not enough, so Corvus Belli, listening to the Infinity Community’s requests, has gone one step further.

Finally, by popular demand, from April the complete range of the different holograms for all Infinity factions will be available completely free from the Infinity official website.

Once all holograms are available to the Infinity Community, the sense of exclusivity provided by the acetate sheets included in the blisters is lost. So, from April the acetate sheets supplied with figures like the Hackers and Engineers will no longer be provided.

This measure is applied to future releases from April inclusively and retroactively to previous releases once stocks run out.

Those acetate sheets with a structural value to the figure, like the wings of the Combined Army’s Iskallers, Drones and Caskuda, and those that have an in-game function that cannot be replaced by a Marker, such as the Combined Army Gwailos’ Nanoscreen or the Bashi Bazouk’s Holoechoes, will still be provided with the figure.

Thank you very much and don’t forget to visit the Infinity site’s Download section.

A kind user by the name of "treslibras" also provided the correct link directly to the new downloads section!

Glad they keep bugs wings on the boxes.
