Huh?

For what it's worth it blows away the Warpath one too?

Either way, I'm planning on using it for scenery on an INFINITY table, unless CB actually comes out with real rules for vehicles too!

The concept for the TF one was my design. I had mentioned that in my post, assumed you had seen that one. The sculptor took liberties at the end and they expanded on the idea with modularity (the TF one I mean) but the general shape and layout of the fuselage is mine and the cockpit matches my digital painting almost perfectly (minus the guns I had planned). My ideas were based on a Hind, Osprey, H53, and the ship from Appleseed. It's the first vehicle I ever designed for miniatures and ugly as she is, I'm proud of her

I won't lie, I'll be buying all of the AW dropships. err.. one of each.. I mean. The workmanship and casting from AW are IMO the best in the industry as far as sci-fi.. after "maybe" Corvus Belli.. maybe.

As to rules for Infinity vehicles.. I had heard rumors that they were going to push towards a non-skirmish game close to what a lot of us were looking for from Mantic. If that ends up being true I will be thrilled.

For anyone who missed their awesome kickstarter last year...they are offering up the opportunity to buy in and participate:

Forward Base – Last Chance to sign-up!

By Jed – October 8, 2015
Posted in: Kickstarter, News

We are soon to be closing-off our production schedule for Forward Base and so if you are interested in getting on-board the Forward Base production cycle then this is your very last opportunity until the products go to Retail (at full retail prices) at the start of 2016.

Those interested should email jed@antenocitisworkshop.com or message us via Kickstarter (Antenocitis Workshop Ltd) asking to be included at which point we will send you an invitation to join the Forward Base Backer-kit.

Once there you can order most of the items that were available during the Kickstarter, at the moment we are finishing off our WAVE 1 deliveries, WAVE 1 Power Strain PLUS and Forward Base PLUS are now being dispatched and we will be moving rapidly into WAVE 2 at the end of October and then WAVE 3 – new joiners will be entered into WAVE 3 whose delivery is estimated to be completed for Xmas this year.

Whilst you will not be able to get the “PLUS” pledges that were Kickstarter exclusives, you will still be able to get most of the other options and offers which still give a sizeable discount on the retail prices. In addition retail products will be far more restricted in colour choices and type of weathering, so this really is your last chance to get onto the discounts offered with Forward Base, before we stop accepting any further orders.

We will stop accepting new backers October 23rd but in the meantime can accept payments via paypal or credit-card via Backer Kit.

Is there a pledge calculator for this somewhere with visuals? I see some things I liked but some of the charts have you scrolling and jumping around trying to figure things out..
Also, there's something about service bots just after half the page down (Forward Base Vehicle Add-Ons).. I can't seem to find a picture of them but it sounds interesting (and cheap!) Anyone know what those are?

I was deeply considering the Warsenal 20% off sale but this is too tempting to pass up

You can get access to the pledge calculator if email Antenocitis as instructed in their message (posted above).

The pledge calculator provides clarity and is less confusing than the kickstarter page, but there are still a lot of options.

Essentially, you buy a habitat, then can add (purchase) optional detailed panels, add interiors (scatter terrain) and external extras like footings, roof accessories, etc.

I found these utube videos showing the different habitats extremely useful in trying to understand what comes with each habitat.

**Kilkrazy**

To go slightly off topic, I think the drop ship models would look great with a streamlined stercorium containing the troops or a gun assembly.

**Pacific**

Alot of that terrain looks absolutely fantastic.

..Desire to create a Paradiso gaming board increasing.. !

**Malika2**

Now that's how that whole laser cut terrain should be done! I wonder if it will sell enough to cover production costs.

**Guildsman**

I certainly hope so. I'd love to put together a table's worth of that terrain, when I have the money. Once they launch, they'll be the best Infinity terrain on the market, by far.

Some very interesting news! How awesome does this thing look?!

From Beasts of War http://www.beastsofwar.com/antenocitis-workshop/antenocitis-announce-plans-kickstart-pizza-trucks/
referencing their KS page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097161002/forward-base-sci-fi-scenery-for-infinity-wargamers/posts/1379950

With the end now in sight for Forward Base production (that being end of December 2015) we can now also start looking ahead into 2016 for new production and we will soon be putting up some news on other Kickstarter projects aimed at the start of 2016.

Some of our new projects are of an unusual nature, such as unusual vehicles for Infinity, and we will run those as very small Kickstarters looking to fund just that single vehicle, with no add-ons or stretch goals…. Just to see if these vehicles can generate enough interest to warrant production. In most cases these vehicles will also be Limited Edition or have features that are Limited to just Kickstarter production.

An example of this is the “pizza Truck” shown below:

This comes in at around 200mm long and we intend to run the kickstarter with the intention of including the “fold-out” seating area and canopy to provide a truly unique vehicle designed for Infinity.

In a similar fashion we will also now launch the larger G.O.T. military vehicles via kickstarter projects – these have always required considerable funds up-front to get off the ground and kickstarters for individual vehicles or large scenery items, that may not have a traditionally large market, are the ideal way to go forward.

This will also include the Designed for Infinity Dropships, each of which will come out as individual projects now as the size, and requisite production costs, of these vehicles is too big to go into our regular production schedules and budgets.

We will, however, also be doing a couple of larger “traditional” Kickstarters for 2016:

The first is our sets of gaming mats, including urban and rural settings, in PVC and rubber-backed, single piece and modular tiles.

The Second will be for some all-new pre-painted Urban buildings for Infinity – these are building sets covering Suburban, Commercial and “downtown” (a rather grubby low-end area of the town).

We are producing these with all the lessons learned from Forward Base: not to offer too many options in colour and weathering, have full instructions done prior to the first dispatch, and with all the lessons learned about Pick & Pack, internal arrangement of tasks, dedicated areas for specific task and so on and so forth.

So we hope that many of you will return to follow our new Projects on Kickstarter, as well as our regular business via our website, in the meantime however we will now get back to focusing on delivery and dispatch of Forward Base, and, as things are now getting sorted in our Pick & Pack process, I will find some time to dedicate to getting on with those overly-delayed assembly Instructions for the Habitats.

On his Facebook, he had mentioned a talk with copyright/IP folks in UK and re-doing the Spinner.
He mentioned that he is authorized to sell it up until the new Bladerunner film is released.

He also mentioned larger kits and the GOT vehicles ...and a Kickstarter. I hope he's not planning in kickstarting the old GOT vehicles. That would be slightly annoying. Unless he means he's doing a Kickstarter involving the above pizza truck. Which would also be annoying. Why? Because it is not a Kickstarter for dropships. That's why.

**Barzam**

He mentioned doing short, mini kickstarters for the various large GOT vehicles, which I assume to be the trackball tanks. He also said the Infinity dropships will all be kickstarted as well. The pizza truck will be an experiment to see how tbe mini KS format works. Essentially the mini KS is going to have a short campaign time with no add-ons or stretch goals, just funding for the individual vehicles.

It is in there in the quote above:

So thankfully sounds like dropships are coming

Hoping the dropship gets elongated. Right now it's suffering from the embiggened cockpit syndrome of GI Joe toys.

It makes me think of Hasegawa's eggplanes

New vehicles in store:

We have four new vehicles for Infinity the Game, now available on the online store:

Tucuxi Senna: Scenic version priced at £7.50p:
Original design ©Haishan Deng.
Painted by Tom Schadle

The Senna now also has its official Scenery Profile:

The Tucuxi "Pushmi", named after Doctor DooLittles two-headed Llama - this vehicle can be setup in the "muscle-car" format as seen in the images, or you can move the wing mirrors, tail fin and exhaust so that it is driving in the other direction. This is a non-scenic version with separate wheels, exhausts, tail-fin and mirrors. Price £9.50p
Painted by Tom Schadle

The Pushmi also now has its Scenery profile:

The Marrua Federale is a heavy-weight Police Interceptor for Urban streets (many of which in Infinity have under-floor wireless charging and mag-lev support) Price: £9.50p
Original design ©Dmitri Popov
Painted by Tom Schadle

Its Scenery Profile shows its somewhat more resistant nature:

And finally the Taruca Lautaro: a rugged all-terrain vehicle sued for surveying and exploration, capable of 1-2 person or UGV operation: £15.50p
Original Design ©Pascal Eggert
Painted by David Woods

Aye, it would, totally agree!! (So we aint doing that!)

KS would only be used for new stuff - and generally only where there was either a larger start-up cost (such as a dropship) or where we were unsure if the market demand was big enough e.g. a large articulated lorry - quite a few people ask for this in a sci-fi style, but would they be willing to pay over the money for one (as it would be relatively expensive being so big).

"Regular" stuff like the existing vehicles just fall into our normal production cycle.

That said some items that we will be producing are being done on a partnership basis with other companies, and those will go to Kickstarter... probably... tbph there is an element of "we will judge each vehicle onits own merits"... so I dont want to lay down hard rules that we may then break.

Generally I (me CAPS) don't want to go with Kickstarter launches (of vehicles) unless we have to.

**MLaw**

That's good to hear!
Is that Taruca Latauro thing based off of the Meerkat?

The old GOT vehicles were rumored to be returning to the shop "next month" (which was said a month or two ago I believe). I'm hopeful that this is still the case, any news?

Fantastic! Limited run or are they coming back to stay?

OMG that police car !

OMG that offroad buggy !

Think those are definitely some of the best for-Infinity vehicles I have seen, cracking stuff.

To stay and to be expanded upon.

**-Loki-**

With the RPG upon us, is there any interest in civilian models? The market is farily light on generic sci fi civilians to use.

**Pacific**

That's a very good point actually.

Is there any plan to re-release the minis that were on sale before or add new ones?

You mean people or vehicles? People, yup. You can use some from Dreadball, re-based clix, or a few other sources I'm not going to link for fear of de-railing, but there really is a shortage in that area. If you mean vehicles, AW already has that covered

**Barzam**

I'm sure he means the people. I'd like to see the street cops come back, maybe with a few new sculpts.

On the Meerkat/Lautaro, is that using the new simplified build that had been mentioned, or is it still the same hybrid kit as before with a new sensor mast?

Also, we still going to see the trackball tanks?

Trackball tanks are both with the new 3D designer - they will be going KS, possibly before Xmas.

The Meerkat and the Warthog have both had simplified builds: we've combined some parts and with the Warthog given a totally different method of assembling the axles so that it is much, much easier. The Meerkat gets a single-piece resin bull-bar now, and a solid-cast resin turret... again to simplify the build, but without reducing detail... Oh and a re-designed bull-bar for the Warthog.

Its larger 'cousin' the Polar Bear will be going KS later this year also as more detailed vehicle.. somewhat more aimed at modellers than perhaps gamers... although nowadays I think there rather a large degree of overap between the two.

Hunchbacks £24.99p, Meerkat £15.50p

I may have to get some of those when they get released. The conversion rare isn't too bad right now. The prices on FRP are pretty comparable, but with free shipping from AWI direct, I think that may be the better deal. Really looking forward to the Warthog coming back.

Don't forget that when you create an account with AW, and you're in the USA, VAT is removed. I've ordered direct from them several times and have always been happy with the prices.

**Jehan-reznor**

Oh nice "Mercedes" light scout car and police and APC's!

**MLaw**

The police in those photos are Heresy Miniatures. Normally AW puts a credit in there.

**judgedoug**

AW - are the Hunchback turrets available separately? I have like four (or maybe six) of your Hunchback already with the original turret.
