This stuff is awesome!

Now, the only concern going forward is, of course, the price...

**sonofruss**

Oh tall walk ways look nice as do the adverts.

**Absolutionis**

This terrain is great! Infinity really does have a "clean" sci-fi feel and the plethora of high-tech advertisements is the best way to convey that.
Not too much of a fan of anime, so I hope there's a decent way to print my own adverts.

**Kilkrazy**

You can print stuff on to transfer paper and put it on sheets of perspex.

**Ian Sturrock**

They look grand.

**Pacific**

Still one step below the cheap LCD screen, showing the oriental-style advertising sequence from Blade Runner, that I'm sure some people have thought about adding to their terrain

Romeo, when discussing the larger Infinity bag (the Alpha) strongly hints/implies that sooner or later, INFINITY will have an 'army' sized version...

**BlueDagger**

CB already stated they have no plans to change from skirmish level in their interview, so no need to worry there. The interview did leak the bag was going to be $95, ouch.

**BobbaFett**

Check this out.

The upcoming building from Micro Art, with the already known catwalk and stair and the new holo Ads from INFINITY.
Combining all the micro Art stuff can result on a cool BladeRunneresque city, just add the rain.

I like that the heights of the stairs fit with their already released products. It looks like someone is thinking there.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

That stuff looks top notch, combine that with some other bits and pieces, mount it on some boards.

Mmm, I have thoughts, ideas and plans quickly forming.

**BlueDagger**

I would LOVE to play on a full board of this stuff, they really did top notch work on the signs

**kenshin620**

Love that mirco art city. There just needs to be a bunch of figures on it

(always wanted to use this!)

**BrookM**

I can definitely see a use for those sets all together.

**Absolutionis**

Alliance Wargames has a listing of items I don't recognize. I'm assuming they're this month's releases considering they have the Sniper Hexas listed:

These are what I gathered from the list of "Not Yet Available" items that haven't been 'revealed' yet. I only play two factions, so I may be mistaken; working by memory here.
Note that they're listed as $0.00 so the MSRP hasn't been revealed yet; further evidence that they're new releases.

CVB 280250 Panoceania: Hexas (Multi Sniper Rifle)
CVB 280819 Aleph: Myrmidon Officer
CVB 280449 Haqqislam: Kameel Remotes

**BlueDagger**

haha a nice find there, you set the official site ablaze

Included in that is the Sin Eater HMG, so I pray that your findings are right

**Absolutionis**

Heh. I frequently check distributor websites so I can bolt to my FLGS as soon as the model I want becomes available.

Good one!

You've been promoted to Forward Observer/Manager of Espionage, INFINITY Division!

We'll be expecting a report at least twice a month now...

The Infinity Bag with the limited edition mini is up on the battlefoam site now...

From Battlefoam:

Hi guys, they just got posted up so please order as needed.

The US website link.
http://us.battlefoam.com/categories/Infinity-Bags-and-Foam/

The UK and EU website link.
http://uk.battlefoam.com/categories/Infinity-Bags-and-Foam/

Please remember that these bags do not release till September 30th. This means that shipments will start going out on the 30th and not before. For customers that are not in the UK or that are across the country from Arizona, your bags will arrive a few days later.

Please remember that September 30th is also a Friday and most shipping companies do not ship on the weekends. This may mean that your bags may arrive as late as the following Friday.

Thanks for the interest in our cool new bags.

When asked if FLGS would have the limited min w/ bag they said:

LGS will have a limited amount offered to them up front. Once those are sold the retailers will not have them going forward with the mini. They will however always have access to the bags and foam going forward. This is to allow for everyone to have a chance at the model and the bags without having to worry about price jumps on the mini itself.

All that being said, I shelled out my $109 ($95 + shipping/tax) last night, if you need me I'll be mourning my wallet in the corner over here.

**BobbaFett**

Ok, I'm coping this directly from the Infinity official forum. The guy from Micro Art Stufio has posted the final version of the Infinity Building and it looks even better!

ok, we have almost ready version of the building for you to see:

As you may see - we added several new things following your suggestions - the windows may be left as you see on the picture - armoured or may be taken out. The same thing applies to door. We tried hard to include the inner walls in the basic set but due to the large number of parts we were unable to fit them on 6 boards :/ They will be the first upgrade set - around 5-7 euro per set approx. We have to make them and check it yet.

An finally we know what the price of the building will be...

Due to the fact that this is a very large kit [6 HDF boards] the price is settled for 24 euro net. Unfortunately we have to add our VAT to it making it exactly 29,52 euro SRP. I hope that despite that the building will be quite popular.

Regards
Jan

**Alpharius**

Does MAS remove the VAT for customers outside of the EU?

**BlueDagger**

I believe VAT has to be applied to all internet sales from a countey over a certain price point.

**plastictrees**

So here's an Infinity question related to the MAS building. How does the game treat building in general? Do you have to track where a model is specifically in a multi-story structure or are there abstractions for movement once you've entered a building?

Also, I definitely can't afford a board full of those buildings, so I likely won't even buy one of them...maybe that doesn't make sense, but there we are.

**BlueDagger**

Everything is completely true movement so in order to "enter" a building you'll needd a building that the roof can be removed or some other sort of method.

For a cheaper means you can just swing down to a hobby store and pick up some foamcore to make dirt cheap n' easy buildings out of, but of course they will need some extra work to look nearly as cool as those.

An example of interiors that are infinity friendly...

Simply add some crates, tables, boxes, etc inside and you have some seriously tactical situation.

Makes sense to me since I'm on the same boat... a city is not just one building but at least 4 or 5 of those, at that price its just to much... Everything I see from Micro is overpriced IMO.

**Savnock**

Styrofoam packaging with lots of internal "divisions" makes great pre-modeled interior space. Check the dumpsters behind your local electronics or home store. Model up some rubble piles and appliances, and you've got a pretty decent interior space. If you're a detail freak, buy some Platformer sets and use the plates as interior detail.

**BlueDagger**

So they have stated officially that i will be about $42 for the 3 story set that can be assembled as 1 story buildings without floors. that breaks down to about $14 per building and given that they are wood material, that is actually not bad.. even for a cheapskate like me. $82 for a boards worth of wood buildings has me temped.

**BobbaFett**

I have just noticed this photos on the Battlefoam website. I guess this looks better than all the previous pics we've seen.

**Absolutionis**

Oh God, the bag is $95 and not compatible with anything people already have.

Current Infinity players already have bags to hold their miniatures. Why release a $95 miniature alongside a bag that's incompatible with anything these players already own? It's much more convenient and cost-effective to stick with the standard 7.5"x13" tray of foam because many companies support it.

I guess it's okay for new players just getting into Infinity. They'll get an exclusive miniature. They'll get a bag to store all their miniatures in. On the downside, that storage bag holds tenfold what a new player needs and it's bulky for this game. On the other downside, the new player will be stuck buying Battlefoam trays for their bag if they want to expand.

I think you may have answered your own question there.

I dunno: I appreciate that these bags exist, I just am far too strapped to buy one at the moment. 'Course, I also transport my Dark Eldar in a lasagna pan... someday I should probably eat the rest of the lasagna....

**shasolenzabi**

Those buildings remind me of the drop-pods I got from Australia that were MDF patterns laser CnC'd nice stuff if so and quite sturdy with paint and hard coating added on.,
