I do like a lot of the Haqqislam range for sure. This is a very cool addition.

Really nice figs, really like both the Magister Knight and the Dasyu.
Although typically neither belong to the forces I am considering for my first go at the game.
Still trying to get my head around the rules atm, doesn't help I only have the PDF version which is a bugbear of mine. Hate trying to read books on a PC.
However, the Infinity range is very nice, the female figures they sculpt in particular are making me gravitate to getting my feet into the game asap.

The Khawarijs looks like the old version that was already released? Have they simply done a weapon swap or something...
The Ariadna girl looks proper boring.
The Knights and Aleph look awesome, they are definately on my shopping list!!
Edit# just checked the Infinity website, the Khawarijs was part of the original starter set! So they're releasing it as a single figure rather than a starter special....fair enough I guess, but it's a bit of a let down for those looking for fresh minis for the Haqqislam faction!

Put it on a Kindle. If you have one.
I've found I can retain stuff many times better on that vs reading from a PC monitor.
A friend keeps trying to get me into Infinity.
I still have barely a handful of games with Malifaux. And I love the rules of that game!

The Khawarij is an old model, I like the design except for the turban. Too ethnic for me, if it was just a guy with a coat and a mask, more Gambit like...
The Female Dasyu is the best female model from the ALEPH range, nuff said. Female figures in Infinity are all over the top.
The Knights are cool. Just by getting the Military Orders starter and this Knights box is nearly 300pts. A decent army list.
The Dozer is wearing stockings and smiling in the middle of a battlefield, weird. Is a Pin-up, it will look cool painted in a battle tank or somethin´
For you people who don´t want to read long PDF rules, there are some videos that makes this game easier:
The Magister Knight with sword looks a bit odd. His chest and shoulders are a bit gorilla-like.
But this releases are mostly great. The Dozer will be welcome by my Ariadna army. And if I finally paint them D: I'm definitely doing Aleph. That Dasyu and the male one that has a Spiderman pose are great.
Hmm, here's hoping the field engineer's puny rocket launcher arm comes separate. She's got the right kit for ground crew, just gotta turn that launcher into something more useful.
Woot, being an Infinity player now I look forward to any releases... no new Nomads for me though :(

As usual, these models are stunning. They just can't seem to make a mini look lanything but utterly breath taking.
The only thing I don't like about Infinity is that I can't find anyone to play it with. Infinity's biggest problem is that it's so good, it lacks mass appeal.

Really? I'd say Infinity's biggest problem is that they charge four pounds per basic trooper. That seems like a pretty good way to make sure people don't give the game a second look.

But you don't need as many troops as with other games. You can play with a starter pack (6 minis) or even less. Unlike 40k, for example. I think that the biggest problem for Infinity is the lack of advertising. Their videos in YouTube are a good initiative, but not enough.
Part of the appeal I'm finding with the line is some of the armours remind me of Mass Effect. An odd reason to like the range, but a reason none the less.
The high proportion of fairly decent female models is a huge bonus mind.

For gaming please check better the nature of this skirmish game( VERY small numbers of minis), if you are tight on money a starter will go a long way and thats like 30 euros for like 6 minis... 5 euro mini of this quality??... ist a gift man.

Yeah, pretty much this!
Plus, the rules AND an awesome army builder are... FREE!
The entry price for a really good starting force is quite, dare I say it?... low!

I would add: And you don't even have to stick to a single army, you can mix different faction minis with the mercenary army list (thats limits the availability of the different units).
I bought $150 bucks of guys, and can play many 300 point lists (thats like a 2250 point game of 40K). We often play 250 points, and I can probably make 4 or 5 good lists out of it.
For another $150 I'll have almost every model in a faction. Good deal.
RE: Knights. Melee doesn't come up that often in our games. One player has a Knightly Order, and the fact that his guys never run away is a real bonus. They have excellent troops for a good value as his basic guys - accurate and cheap. His Knights will do a bit better when he can link a few of the inexpensive ones, allowing him to move them up the table much faster (and defend against shooting a bit better). Shooting is King, but those knights will kill you dead if you engage with most troopers.

I love the style of these minis, someone said 'Mass Effect' and indeed a lot of the style looks similar, but for anyone who grew up on Manga (Appleseed and the like) you can see where a lot of the influence has come from.
