Er, OK?

Not sure what you're going on about there...

I thought it was fairly evident.

The Combined Army needs angry space monkeys. It'll totally be a winner.

After all, who doesn't like monkeys?

I want to know when Corregidor is getting its starter box, and will it include Tomcat and Intruder options which currently do not have models.

Umm.. is that a bad joke? Or have you never seen a CA force.

It more likly 5 model already out, plus 1 starter box only model.

I've seen them, yes. I've got one also sitting in my shopping cart for The Warstore to be ordered when their Black Friday stuff starts up. It's a joke, referencing the fact that Morat faces look vaguely simian.

Which poses a huge problem because there's quite a few gaps in the Corregidor Sectorial Army list, namely there is no "basic" Tomcat model.

Hi.
Ravage Magazine has published which miniatures will be the December releases:

- Tokusetsu Butai. The Medic/Engineer for the Japanese Sectorial Army. Yu Jing.
- Zerat with Sniper Rifle. Skirmisher for the Morat Aggression Force. Combined Army.
- Post-Humans Box. ALEPH
- Die Morlock Gruppe Box. Warbands for the Bakunin Jurisdictional Command. Nomads.
- Al Hawwa with Sniper Rifle. Female skirmisher for the Qapu Khalki. Haqqislam.

No images of the miniatures, but the concepts of some of these were leaked during the Essen Spiel'11 in Germany.

I'm excited about having finally the post-humans, but that Morlock box could be awesome.

Hrmh. So the Morlock box is a full squad of Die Morlock Gruppe I assume?

The Post-Humans one is indeed an exciting one. ALEPH is what I ended up deciding to go with, since the Nomad force I want to do would be very difficult to put together without extensive resculpting.

As Bobba Fett himself has remarked somewhat amusingly, the Morats are well known for their 'ugly baboon faces'
Personally I think they look OK, but agree it is something of a 'marmite' issue (you either like them or hate them!)

Although as a light infantry I think there are few other factions that come close to them, and their morale special rule is a major bonus for anyone including them!

I'm a big fan of Morats, and I eagerly await their T.A.G., the Raicho!

Posthumans are confirmed? Thank God.
I think pretty much everything in Aleph is accounted for aside from the Devabots then, and the HMGDakini is pretty much a good proxy for that.

A "generic" Naga model which is actually firing its gun would be nice. Same with a Dasyu who isn't seemingly recovering from a handstand to fire his rifle...

But yea, I dig the red apes as well, though not quite enough to expand out of my 'Shasvastii + bugs' theme yet. Yaogat LT is looking groovy though, for that MSV my gribblies can't get ...

If we're wishlisting, I'm still hoping for a Shasy missile launcher

EDIT - Morlock box, nice

- Salvage

Darn! Infinity makes such cool stuff! I will have to pick up a set of the one of these days and give them a try.

I spend a lot of time reading the official forums.
It is obvious that people like Morats when they have helmets on. Here is the reaction when the miniatures are released:

Zerat (She has a helmet)- "Oh, that is a nice looking miniature, I thinking a bout starting a Morat army."
Kurgat (Helmet also)- "So cool, the Morat Army is looking cooler everyday, yeaaaah...." "I will use him with my TAU 40K army."
Yaogat Sniper (No helmet)- "Yeah, the baboon guy, yeah... his ass is probably also red and he pops it out for the females gnah hahahah!!"

CB should rescultp all the existing morats and put helmets for the whole Morat army.


About the Morlock box... It will probably be the 4 multipart box as they are doing it usually with warbands and fireteams. 2 copies of 2 diferent bodies with 2 diferent sets of arms and heads for them, 4 miniatures. And these will probably replace the old blister.

I reeeeeally like the Crane rank agent, though I'm a little sad he looks so.... grand.
Hsien are supposed to outrank this guy but his gigantic coat and are armor puts them to shame.

I hope they don't I prefer the none helmeted Morat myself.

Well this is the thing, it is hard to get a gauge on what people actually like or don't like.

I remember reading that someone was complaining about the Daktari doctor (cat doctor for Nomads) to one of the top guys at CB, and saying that this kind of model had no place in Infinity and why did they sell it, and he replied by saying the cat doctor model has been a regular top 5 seller within the entire range since it went on sale!

So I think there must be plenty of people who like the 'ugly baboon face' look. I personally think they look quite cool, and can help to emphasise the alien style of the Combined Army. But maybe if some more helmeted figures go on sale, then at least CA players will have the option.

Beasts of War has just published a "How to play INFINITY" videos.




It seems to me that they have edited the CB videos and make a new audio. No spanish accent this time.

I keep hoping for news of a Jotum, more than anything I want a model for that beasty, but the Dragoe looks awesome and will make a workable standin, though a total PITA to paint, it looks much more difficult than the Cutter.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but just in case, here it is:

http://wargamingtrader.com/infinity/intro1

Interesting stuff in there, to 'help out' 40K players looking at Infinity.

They published a second video.



They have some new FX.

Thanks for the updates, Bobba!

You know, they wouldn't look nearly as bad if their faces were not painted bright, primary red. Even a more vaired and natural red tone would be better. Without that, the focus would be less on their meh faces and more on their pose etc. In the meantime (and since Morat resculpts are not likely anytime soon), you could easily GS-cast masked faces off of other models. It would be a really slick and probably easy conversion.

Wait- do you mean they will replace both the old models, which will not be available anymore? The female Morlock is great- I might have to snap her up before she goes OOP. The dude was definitely headswap candidate numero uno, though.

I think with the Morats, they look better when the red is applied to look like a 'warpaint'...even if it is their actual fleshtone.

And to complete the range of opinions, I think they look fine as is!

BoW and CB are organising a Contest giving out not 1 but 5 Dragoes, go here for further information

They want examples of 300pts lists using the Dragões and 5 winners will get a free Dragões TAG.

Hello there

I've seen that Ángel Giraldez has posted some sort of hint/preview of the latest minis he has painted on his blog. He paint for Corvus Belli (so, Infinity), and i think that for Privateer Press as well...

Link: http://studiogiraldez.blogspot.com/

I think that for Infinity there are 4 ALEPH minis... their bases are very distinctive... Post-humans box confirmed, then?

cheers

There's 3 ALEPH minis. ALEPH uses that super shiny base.

One of the models is a Warmachine model, if I had to guess based upon the base, I have no clue what the others could be.

Yu Jing tends to have dry ash bases. It looks like four of those bases in the bottom picture are theirs.

Ariadna and PanO have grass on the base usually, and none of those minis have grass.
Nomads have orange metal, Combined have alien blue, and Haqqislam have deadlands. Can't see any of that there either.

There's a large model in the top right. Could be a TAG.

But yeah, definitely Aleph for those four. I really hope the Posthuman near the front isn't doing a jolly schoolgirl leg-up skip. I really really hope this won't be Aleph's version of a Daktari.

And what is wrong with the Daktari, pray tell?

If you will lend me a can opener, I have some worms-in-a-can.


On a less Daktari-note, rumor on the forums says that the French Ravage Magazine reports the following for December 2011:
- 4 Morlock (Nomads)
- Tokesotsu (Yu Jing)
- 4 Posthumans (Aleph)
- Zerat with Sniper Rifle (Combined)
- al-Hawwa with Sniper Rifle (Haqqislam)

Ninja'd by weeks by Alpharius it seems.
