Not what I expected, but I'll have three of those Traktors and a box of Loup Garous.

Why won't they hurry up and release that gun emplacement by itself?

Sogarat

Wow!

Expensive month for me...

Pushing me ever closer to the "sell off most of my GW stuff" ledge!

Jawdropping month OMG... And what about the Traktor Mul? Do you guys know if it will be out next month or if that was a conversion?

It's very likely to be part of the November release:

From Spiel in Germany, concept art of the Acontecimento TAG Dragoes


Tractor mul for Ariadna


Pics are from www.o-12.de

Sogarat looks terrific, Sforza cool as well. Surprised not to see any TAG.

I see that the Dragoes is continuing the "Evangelion" tradition!

Wow the Loup Garou look AMAZING!! I just wish these had come out several months ago, when I was first getting into the game!

I also like the concept art for the dragoes! I am sure it'll look cool as hell!

I too may have to start selling off my GW stuff...

Very happy to see more Garou available Once I get these pesky CA painted I've been thinking Merovingian are #2, and these dudes certainly sweeten that deal

I think I just peed myself a little for that Infinity stuff.

I'm really liking those guys.


Is there a painting tutorial for those paint jobs? I really like how that dirty trenchcoat look came off on those Loupes. That mix and the shade of that blue relly put that figure together.


Great job on that one.

AFAIK there aren't official tutorials from CB or Angel Giraldez. Beast of War guys have a couple, but with their own color choices and I guess some different techniques. Angel Giraldez uses a combination of airbrush and normal brushes that I don't really know much about it.

New stuff from Spiel

Awesome - thanks for posting these!

Yeah, that new concept art is almost unimaginably cool, especially the Posthuman Proxy. I'm glad for once that I haven't started painting the very old Denizen Miniatures SF figures I've been using for Posthumans, as I will definitely be getting the official minis now!

Wow, some great stuff this month. Concept art looks solid too.

Are infinity models the same size as original warhammer 40k models?

They're the same "scale" in a sense (28mm), but different in proportions.

Warhammer has exaggerated proportions with unusually large arms, hands, and guns. All figures look "fat".
Infinity goes for more realistic (and idealized) proportions.

Seeing all this stuff, I wonder to myself why Infinity isn't so much bigger than it is?

I don't want to turn this thread into a vs GW thread, but it just makes me wonder about the bigger picture.

We're taught from a young age, that if you do well you will succeed, however, the wargaming community doesn't seem to reward quality, or innovation, instead prefering to stick with what it "knows" and rewarding mediocrity with ever increasing sums of money......Earth and the human race, what a natural wonder

Searth wrote:Are infinity models the same size as original warhammer 40k models?

I had to field this point on another forum, I'll dredge out some photos I took of 'naked' models so you can see the scale used...

*rummages*

There we go!



Those are Keisotsu, who are in keeping with standard Infinity scale (some of their older miniatures are a bit bulkier, closer to GW scale). That said, they are light infantry - i.e. plain old humans in uniform. The medium and especially heavy infantry models are generally larger, being clad in bulky powered armour, so the heavies come closer to the height of GW figures. Again, compare the below shot, which shows the two keisotsu (now painted) with two unfinished Hsien (heavy infantry) figures besides them. Apologies for the quality of the image - artificial, orangey lighting + orange paint jobs = not so great a photo.



Hope that answers your question!

1: You can't support a system you've never heard of. Not every gamer stalks the net looking for new games and model releases. Lots of people only play amongst friends.

2: If you have a game you enjoy why would you go looking for a different game. If you're having fun playing/painting/modelling with 40k (it may come as a shock to learn that some people do enjoy 40k) or Warmachine you have no particular reason to seek out another game, which leads into my third point:

3: Even if you have heard of infinity and want to play it, very few people have the time to play a second game or be the driving force behind people picking up a new game. I barely have time to play one game of anything a month at the moment let alone persuade people to start playing a new game.

INFINITY is also on the complex side.

Not too difficult once you get a demo or two (or three) in, and putting in a little effort reveals a remarkable game.

I suppose that might be a 'point against'?

A 'point for' is that a typical army is maybe 10 figures, and you can easily field many different factions for the cost of a typical 'all options' 40K army.

Part of the 'blame' (if you can really call it that) just might be that Corvus Belli is a small company, and they are doing the best they can.

The recent INFINITY WEEK on Beasts of War had to help though!

Aww, I've got to get me a Father Lucien, I love that figure.

Great batch of releases, nothing for my nomads, but some of that Haqqislam stuff looks like it'll be great to face off against once Aura can add them.

Have they hinted at plans for a Merovingian faction box?

*jaw hit the floor* The proxies are an amazing concept, can't wait to see that one.

My Druze have plans woooot

Found some more

There is a lot of duplication but some stuff that wasn't posted before

http://www.o-12.de/wordpress/?page_id=1775&mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=340.2

I was rather disappointed that the Posthuman Proxy looked too much like a military unit and less like the hidden-battle-civilian with a soul-jump that I imagined it to be.

Then, I found this on the Infinity forums.
