Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of getting into infinity am I really like the nomad/Bakunin models so I was wondering whether it might be worth getting the Bakunin jurisdictional command set. Any opinions would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I think it definately is. Many people prefer it over the regular Nomads starter box (which I got). Of course it's hard to say if something is "worth it" in Infinity because this game is about what you do on the table, NOT about how you build your list. As a basic rule of thumb - multi-packs are always "worth it" because you get more minis at a lower price than buying single blisters. That's all there is to know really.

Any starter box will get you a very decent force of about 115 points. Three regular fellas, one werid fella with special rules and two bigger guys. Especially the Bakunin one comes with two very dangerous models (Reverend Moira and Sin-Eater observant), the ever-useful Zero (for camouflage, infiltration and such) and three Moderators. Moderators can get very funky equipment, are dirt cheap, shock resistant (which isn't a huge deal but can come in handy) and I think they come with Nanopulsers which is pretty nice. Never underestimate those Moderators or their mighty Combi-Rifle.

Bottom line - you can't buy anything "wrong" in Infinity. Starter boxes are a great start for any faction (big surprise ) because they give you a really nice collection of figures that will work great for your first few games and way beyond that. I don't get to play all that often these days but I still use most of my starter box figures most of the time because you get such a great, balanced variety of figures out of the box. And they're beautiful to boot. So go ahead I would say and keep in mind that in no way getting this box limits you to using the Bakunin sectorial list. The very same models can be played using the "vanilla" Nomads list (which I prefer to be honest for the added variety).

Have fun and feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

If you're doing Bakunin?

Yes.

If you're wanting to do Corregidor?

No.

If you're wanting to have a good pool of Nomad models so you can field Bakunin OR Corregidor?

Yes again.

CB information sources like the INFINITYO-12 podcast have said that a new NOMADS starter pack will be announced this month.
So, if you wait a few weeks, you may see another option for starting Nomads.

Nomads starter pack
Bakunin sectorial starter pack
and...
Corregidor sectorial starter pack.

My suggestion... don't buy the Bakunin starter yet, wait until having all the options available, because it could be painful.
Imagine new photos of new excellent miniatures being published when you have already spent your precious golden coins.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think I might wait a bit and see whether a new nomads starter pack comes out soon and make a purchase at the end of the month.

I don't know. Maybe I'm being weird but I'll always prefer a bigger range of models over newer ones. And with Corvus Belli's Nomads... well, I have to admit that I'm not all that fussed with the newer ones or at least I don't find them in any way superior.
