OK I will definitely keep an eye out (or an ear!?) for this one!

Have to say though I'm a complete luddite though when it comes to Pod-casts, how do I access it?

I'm sue there will be something on the website. Like a play button or something? Have you listened to free ariadna radio? Unfortunately nothing happening with them now. http://www.radiofreeariadna.com/

Here's Corax, Shasvastii Spec Ops =)

Indeed.

My brother is excited by the Corax for his SEF.

Urgh, another gogo dancer.

I normally would call things like that out if this were the case...

But I'm not seeing it. The only thing I dislike about the Corax is that huge sword. It looks stupid for what's obviously intended to be an "assassin" like character. It should have been a dagger/knife, not a sword.


On another note:
The Warstore has just gotten the SpecOps models in stock. They'll likely start shipping tomorrow or Monday.
The books are not in yet, however.

I think it looks awesome, can't wait to see it with some paint on it! I guess you could sub out the sword for a knife, but I think you might alter the balance somewhat of the mini if you did so.

Really? It's like she was showing everyone she can sway her hips to the music, "just like this, are you looking, you should look, I'm really good at it".

I like pinup models, but Infinity can't decide if it wants to be serious (male models), or Soda Pop (female models).

Well, I think for the most part it is trying to cater to both. Although having said that, I don't think the two aesthetics are mutually exclusive - a lot of Japanese Anime for example mixes more (sometimes overtly) sexualised girls (and guys for that matter!), but with a more hardcore sci-fi vibe. Take for example stuff like Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, AD Police - there are many more, and in reality I think that kind of style is a genre all by itself.

But at the same time at least for the most part you have the choice of buying models which can 'fit' a particular aesthetic, and it's fairly easy to make a force that includes all different styles but so they don't look out of place. I've got the Daktari 'cat doctor' for example for the Nomads, which is surely along one extreme, but also alongside the Nomad tomcats (who are really 'sci-fi' - think the robot police from the new Total Recall movie). Just on their own, they might look a little out of place, but by including a model that sits in-between those two styles such as a Zero you can make the overall look of the force look similar.



So yeah, I think there is room for both!

Looking good!

Got a shipping notice from The Warstore, backdated to yesterday.

My Intel and Chandra Spec-Ops will be here on Tuesday, most likely.

*shakes fist* damn you Kan, now im jealous and will be placing my own order (was trying to hold out)!! *shakes fist some more*

I dont see it either, apart from the preposterous heels (or the pointed foot look anyway), im not seeing the same thing you are im afraid...

Alternate paint scheme for Tohaa from Bou (the incredible painter that scored 1st place in the Infinity painting competition)

Can you see the thread even if you are not a member of the Infinity forum ?
If not, I'll post the pics here


Edit : As these are not yet released, I think it is fitting to see them in N&R too.
Here's the pic heavy link to this post in our subforum =)

You should post them in our subforum specifically for Infinity, if there isn't already a thread.

personally I am delighted with the Shasvastii Spec Ops, although her backpack is extremely busy, I wonder what extras we will get with her.

Wow amazing paint job! Lot quite different in that colour scheme, with less fallow looking skin, they look a lot more 'alien' (or though I found the other scheme perhaps a bit more disconcerting?)

More stuff from the new book !

Nice, thanks for sharing them.

Thank Yasbir on the official Infinity forum =)

BTW Micro Art now sells the Infinity markers individually, so you get exactly the markers you want.

They are late to the party =P
IJW already did so at http://store.wargamingtrader.com/infinity

I'm with you, loving the Corax and waiting not-so-very patiently for info regarding what options there'll be. However, I really like the fact that she has EVERYTHING in her backpack. I mean, if small Shasvastii forces are meant to survive all by themselves for unlimited amounts of time, then surely their Spec-ops must be able to go all by herself deep in enemy territory for at least just as long. And for that purpose you need all the right tools, ergo a huge backpack!
That's how I see it anyway.

Darn weekend! How am I supposed to see this stuff!

Corax looks awesome! I do not see go-go dancer at all. Movement yes. Many Infinity figs have some kind of action to them. I'd rather go-go dancer than a static glamor shot pose.

@VS thanks for posting the art. I can't wait for that.

Do we know when the Corax is supposed to hit the shelves, other than just September?

I dig it, and I think it will make a nice Speculo.

Indeed she will make a really nice Speculo or two.

Announce month September means hits stores early October.

D: how can you risk your Coraxes life like that!?
I know what I'm gonna use mine as: a Noctifier. Preferably my lt. That way I'll keep her safe and out of harms way.

Not feeling the tohaa models to be honest, however they're painted. Everything else looks great.

Easily she has the modifications so she can be a nice stand in for Speculo, I am eagerly waiting for the extra to see her conversion possibilities, but I expect some really good conversions to show up quite soon.

Strangely, the Corax has me more hyped for my SEF than the Vortex has got me for my Bakunin.
Sadly, I don't think I can use her as my LT every time. Would get a little too obvious after a while.

My though too, as I don't think we will get a new Speculo model any time soon as there only 1 loadout. Big plus if the Corax can use XP to get the Speculo abilities.
