The new releases lately, and the general aesthetic of the minis (plus I have been watching tonnes of anime) means that I am goint to start getting a Pan Oceana force. Plus the cool terrain from MAS is going to make the games look good too once I get enough of it.

You know, I see the anime-influence in the concept art, but not so much in the miniatures themselves. They don't have silly exaggerated features or any of the stuff that makes me hate anime.

It has a really "clean" SciFi look that distinguishes it from the grimdark Warhammer and the Soot+WoW-ish Warmahordes and the pulp-horror/victorian Malifaux. It's more like a miniatures version of Equilibrium, Minority Report, Aeon Flux, Ultraviolet, and similar movies.

I hear you, but the stuff I have been watching is the more modern high end stuff like Appleseed Deus Ex/Evangelion/Sky Crawlers. It's more about the aesthetic of the mechs and integration, and less so about the exageration that can be common place in some anime. It's the qualty of the minis that I like, having seen them at Maelstrom, and the stuff one of my mates has picked up.

There is very little in the range that I turn my nose up at, and the latest releases look top notch!

I agree Cpt Jack, ive been watching loads of "realistic" anime, like Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell: SAC etc etc and i get the anime influence running through pretty much everything Infinity, which is why i like it so much!

I love Ghost in the Shell so I quickly fell in love with Nomad Remotes. Own 9 of them

You like Ghost in the Shell and you went with Nomads?
Terrorist.
Everyone knows Aleph is the true path.

And don't forget Blade Runner!

One of my dreams of creating an Infinity terrain set-up is to have a video screen (using either a smart phone or laptop) with a picture of a geisha, and "a new life awaits you... " playing in the background

I agree though the concept is great, it has definitely got it's own identity in amongst all of the other stuff out there.

New pics of the Traktor Mul in Beasts of War.

Traks will go directly to my 15mm collections!

The Traktors are going to be a 'must buy' for me.

They're so adorable and yet...deadly.

Tiny but fierce!

I would love to get those missile pods just by them selves. So many ideas are bubbling to the surface.

Seems I was right about the Traktor Mul having both launchers in the box

Cant wait to buy two traktor's

wow...

I never knew of that game.
Those miniatures are simply awesome and the gameplay seems interesting, might actually start collecting them untill I can get some of my friends to play it as well.

Games Workshop is getting more and more unlikeable with their greedy attitude anyways... -.-

Maybe I missed it, but any word on the interior and accessory kits for the Micro Art HDF buildings?

One of the many reasons to play Infinity, my friend. Corvus Belli have a great relationship to their fans, and make business decisions that are not insulting to our intelligence. Since I started playing Infinity my general rage at GW for nosediving their great product into the ground has subsided- I still play occasionally, but am much less invested/frustrated.

For those picking up a traktor mul, do beware of the double-edged sword that the Baggage rule can present. It means you really, really need to cover yourself against Airborne Deployment (not that you don't already need to cover your hiney if you're playing with GML lists, but I thought it would be good to state for any new players who get into the game because of the cool remotes). Total Reaction remotes are your friends.

Combined get no Alien baggage mule?

They don't. At moment is human technology only (if you can call it tech )

Actually if you think about it, the CA doesn't need a rule like baggage, they are already more efficient with the Morat and Shasvastii rules as well as Ghost: Mnemotecno. Retreat Threshold increased to 75%? no points can be claimed for that sniper Shasvastii lying dead behind the window of the 4th floor of a building on the other side of the table until the coccoon is destroyed? no need to worry for Loss of Lieutenant? Much more effective than the baggage rule, IMHO.

Awesome mini!

I really didn't want to start another Infinity faction, but it looks like I am now!

To be honest, I was on the fence about starting an Acontecimento sectorial.

Consider me on the other side of that fence now, squarely in PanO territory!

It looks good, except for the shoulder-mounted weapon system and ammo feed, looks too fragile to me.

I try and try but I can't get interested in Infinity. It has great looking models and the rules are good but it doesn't inspire me.
I'll wait patiently for a new faction or something that really draws my attention. I like the Nomads but I have so many 40k models to paint I just don't have the time.

DAMMMMNNNNNNN I wants 10's of those... Thank god I closed my wallet for new minis for a long time...

HOLY fething gak!!!



It looks very japanese, very different from all the other robots from other wargames. No gothic grimm dark sci fi at all. Very Infinity.








In this last image you can read that this base body is common for both Dragoes and Jotum Tags.





I love it, totally. It is so different from what the other games offer. This company is always doing their stuff, completely away from 40K. No GW influence at all. They are offering alternative art direction, game, style, colors...
God, I have a crush with this Infinity thing...

In the words of Judge Dredd, 'Drokk!'
Damn that is awesome. Seriously, CB are making stuff that is rivalling the detail level of some of the Gundam models (although made in a completely different way). That paintjob is on an entirely different level as well though, you could be forgiven for thinking these are in a massive scale.

Well this is what it comes down to, a design aesthetic will either appeal to you or not! Whatever floats your boat and all that

I love this miniature and most of the Infinity line!! I love the art direction and style that they have gone for and I love the fact that the Dragoes does in fact share the same chassis as the Jotum.

I would love to get my hands on this guy and the O-Yori tag...plus the cutter tag too...though he's starting to show his age a little bit.

I used to feel the same about MERCS from MERCS minis. I had the rule book and miniatures, and although I have stopped buying GW WH40K stuff, I still had my large IG army, and it was still my goto game. I finally had the chance to actually play MERCS a few weeks ago.......it was amazing......I mean, really amazing in a way that WH40K can NEVER be. The lesson I learn't at that point was, play a game, don't theorise or listen to other people.....really roll the dice and try it, it's the only way to make an educated judgement.

You say you like the miniatures, you think the rules are good.....so what's left? The fluff? well, to be fair, Infinity fluff is really an extension of our real world history extrapolated into a possible future.....no grim dark or chaos demons etc.....so basically, you can get into the fluff or not, it won't affect game-play (IMHO).

This is so fething true that I'm gonna paste it as my signature.
