Fantastic looking models! I have recently acquired a YuJing starter pack and just ordered up some other goodies. Too bad the bikes are on back order! Only played a demo game and it hooked me. The models have great detail even if you do not want to play you can paint them.

95% of the other games are just spin offs. I think Infinity could be good but Im not interested at all.

Warmachine is probably the worst looking game out of all of the spin offs!

It's tempting - the problem is that, though I like a lot of the individual figures, none of the factions as a whole feel like they "mesh" to me.

I have the same problem with Malifaux. Some great minis, but beyond the starter kits, I'm not sure what goes with what most of the time because of a lack of visual coherence.

I also tend to prefer games that segregates its units (i.e. core/special/rare or warjack/unit/solo or Leader/specialist/deckhands, etc)

If Infinity has any sort of such a delineation I sure can't figure it out from the official website. It just looks like a mass of minis, and it's confusing to me.

** cleaned up some grammar

Don't like anime.
Don't like Infinity.

I'm really interested, I just don't know anyone who plays it...

Love it, yet to play, but have a sizeable collection of Yu Jing that i just bought, and should start serious gaming within the week

Not Interested in playing - Do like some of the miniatures and may buy them as proxies for a Mechanicum Army.

You could run a mercenary force, which doesn't align itself to any one of the major factions. Currently not tourney legal, however.

I really like Infinity. Alas, the D20 doesn't really get along with me.

I dont see the cost as a factor to be a negative.

You only need 10-16 models TOTAL to play a game and most starter packs have decent stuff in them.

Since i have spent over $700 easily on my DE alone. I do not think $120 for an Infinity army is too much to ask.


I have already bought the main rules book and have begun starting to collect a Yu Jing army. I plan on making this game oneof my more played. Along with WHFB and FoW.

Screw 40k... Its a joke. 6E wont save it for me.

I bought into the game with Yu Jing and painted it all up, then played a few games and lost interest then sold it all.

I basically lost interest due to the fact that you need a hell of alot of different variables of terrain, if not then it turns into a 15 min game. Also with 75% of the minis its 1 shot 1 kill and when you've only got 6-8 minis in a 150 point game to play with then it turns into a 10 min game.

Never realised how blinkered the majority of the gaming community is. It's obvious now that I think about it...

Is it really that expensive? I am sort of tempted to try it someday and figured out that by careful planning I could manage an Ariadna team under 60 pounds. The game overall does not appear to me to be that much expensive or is this rather the costs per model issue?

There wasn't an option in the poll for "Played it, but ended up not liking it".

We had a group of six people playing this regularly a few years ago under the 1st edition rules. There were too many rules disputes that kept popping up that were contentious enough to keep us from enjoying the game.

One of the main complaints people (other than me, really) had about the game was the ability to run around with one powerful model (i.e., TAG) using all the orders of the other cheap "cheerleader" models.

My only real complaint was the amount of reactions people could take to any one of my actions and the timing of said reactions (does my guy fall Incapacitated from your shot where he started to move, where he ended his move or somewhere in between?).

I'd like to try it again sometime under the 2nd edition rules to see if they cleaned up the translation enough to make the rules more clear.

I saw a few models and saw some people play it, so I became interested in it, but don't know a whole ton. Oh, and a question to Infinity players: Which faction is the most technologically advanced?, I don't mind if it's a human faction, but I'd like it better if it was an alien one.(Asking in case I want to get into it).

Really just, don't like the ruleset. I had some miniatures, but it was just far too fiddly for my liking. Too much terrain is required, and some of the rules are just plain weird, or make no sense.

Well it is clear that true scale looks better in more dramatic poses. The models and poses are perfect for the game. The price is ridiculous, its like $10 a figure... as GW is about $2 and War-game factory its like $0.75 a model.... seriously too much for a squad sized skirmish.

BUT I do intend to add some as survivors to my Zombies game.

My flgs is planning on running a campaign of infinity.

Not sure what there is to not like about it, it challenges people to step outside their 40k sandbox (which I play at least once a week) and try something with a completely different flow.

The mini's are more expensive than quite a lot of other companies, but you need fewer of them, which is a shame as they are generally stunning, with some great dynamic poses.

The level of support is great, very little chance of this going Necromunda on folks, as CB makes enough money on the small unit sales to make it worth supporting.

It is terrain heavy, so should appeal to the modellers out there, as has already been stated above, scenery light games won't last long, but companies like warmill are producing some great MDF terrain now that looks he business, is transferable between systems (sorry no skulls or gothic windows) and is reasonably priced.

The books are beautifully produced, making the offerings of other companies look very sub par indeed.

I've been a big follower of Corvus Belli for awhile now. I've got 3 of 4 of the books they've published, and quite a sizable ALEPH "Operations" force in the works.

I love the setting. I hate some of the cheesecake models(I promise I won't say more than that, Alpharius! ). I love some of their more "Tacticool" models.

The biggest thing which is preventing me from playing is that the shop which runs games regularly is a bit of a trek for me (1.5 hours to get there and another 1.5 back) which means arranging a game and a ride there.

3 of the 4 books?

What's the fourth?

They had two editions of the main rulebook, I only have 2nd edition.

I've been very interested for awhile now but no one plays locally.

I have models, but sadly no one in my store or area plays it :(

its the first ive heard of it, ive just had a look on there site and although im not interesting in starting a new game at all i would think about buying a few of there models 40k.

just a few questions really though;

what material are they?
are they easy to customise?

Infinity figures are metal and are more or less 'real' 28mm (ish) and so for the most part they'll look a bit thinner than your average 40K model.

Also, as they are metal, conversions are not the easiest things to pull off - it can be done, and is well worth it, but it will take some skill, time and patience!

Bought the rulebook, mainly for the fluff, Merovingian starter and a handful of other Ariadna models, painted one Metro fully(Currently sat on my desk in work ) started the other 2 and a few other models and then stopped and kinda lost interest

I've done that with a few game systems now I'm sure I'll come back to it at some point....

I loved the idea that there would need to be loads of terrian, I love making terrain but don't have anywhere to put it...

I like quite a few of the model (some I may pick up and paint),

the background is interesting and well thought out (but not for me)

not looking for another SF system so won't be playing

Well, it's more cyberpunk/posthumanist than steampunk (you don't often get spaceships in Victoriana) - I don't think there's ANY steampunk accent to it at all.

Got all of the available books, Japanese, Aleph and Haqqislam forces. Love the background and look, but only played one game so far (second one next week).

Going to be taking part in a small campaign at my local club, and the painter in me can't help but get drawn to buy more.

Biggest put off for people seems to be the amount of terrain needed. I just got on and built a load more to use!

@ghpoobah - whereabouts in London are you based?

Absolutely love this game, and think the game mechanics are absolutely spot on - some of the miniatures for it are sublime and it has a distinctive style within a pretty thoughtful gaming universe. The 'anime' style route is there for those who like it, but there are enough models in the range to ignore it if you don't like that kind of thing.

Use the 'opponent finder' on the official forums (or here on Dakka!) if you need someone to play, you will probably be amazed at how many people are now playing this game. CB I think have taken a real step up in the last 12 months, with the release of a new campaign book and an apparent big increase in popularity - it would be interesting if they ran this poll again now, in 2013, to see how many more people have heard of the game!
