To borrow from GW terminology: it just sounds cinematic to have your hurt guy slung over the tractor, trying to evac under fire...

Infinity does cinematic better than 40k ever will. With a good ruleset.

And is able to do this without ever having to tell you to make things "cinematic".

I used cinematic to describe how Infinity feels almost 8 years before GW "invented" the word to excuse their poor rules.

Reading the 'Hostile Environment' rules, although they seem really cool (and the scope for imagination there in setting is immense!) what is the actual logic between having a high burst weapon and being more vulnerable to whatever reason the environment is hostile? Or visa-versa?

Imagine for a moment that you are fighting in a vacuum, or on an alien world that is teeming with millions of tiny poisonous spiders (the most uncomfortable thing I could think of! ) how would firing your weapon more make you any more susceptible to that? Or are we talking about something that is purely a gameplay mechanic and balancing tool?

Well... i'm not sure how to implement in any other way without adding more dice rolls. And I don't want consecutive dice rolls like in warhammer, so I'm happy the way it's implemented.

EYE CANDY PARTY!!!!!
Infinity October releases.

The Steel Phalanx. ALEPH.





Uxia McNeill (Covert Action). Ariadna.




Crusader Brethen. PanOceania




Wu Ming. Yu Jing.




Imetron and Ikadron Batroid. Combined Army.




Gao-Rael Unit. Tohaa.

All are awesome, and I'm psyched to finally have a model for the CA Imetron!

Also, cue Kan's rant about exposed skin on Uxia - even though he can just paint it as cloth if he wants!

Uxia is in combat pose, non overly sexualized, badassery over 9.000!!!

She's the one. CB reallly reads the forums.

HOW DARE UXIA NOT WEAR A MASK! This is unacceptable!

Boycott! Boycott! Boycott!

(Happy, Alph? )

I'm surprisingly impressed by The Steel Phalanx starter box. Irked however that it is released before the Corregidor starter box.
I really like Eudoros and the new infantry in the box.

I like Uxia, for the most part. The skin doesn't bug me this time...it's the ponytail!


Don't really care about the Crusader Bretheren, but it's a nice model.
Imetron and Ikadron are nice. My brother is gonna love those.

We've already seen the Wu Ming, they're okay.

The Gao-Rael is tempting me. A sniper model who is actually sniping?

The pony tail is easily removed - and it will be removed!

The Tohaa to date aren't doing it for me.

It is all going to come down to the Tohaa T.A.G. for me.

Though to be honest, I'm OK if I don't like them enough to buy into yet another faction!

And, set your calendars - one month from today will be THE day!

Alright, i really need to find a local playing group ... I really like these models. my Wallet can take more hits.

Uxia! She shall be mine (not that it mattered about the model, but that is a really nice looking Special Forces model).

ALEPH sectorial looks nice (dammit).

Tohaa are lacking to me as well. Space elves again.

Ouch...I really like all the models for this release...That's a problem haha
Well...hopefully I don't play PanO yet (but I'm still tempted to get this awesome model)

I quite love what I see, the brethren and rider, em I mean Myrmidon hacker are amazing, Uxia is quite good, love to see her in combat pose, the Ikadron is great the Imetron is a fancy antenna and looks good in that regard, we have already seen Wu Ming.

Wowwowow.. not a bad release this month!

That Aleph starter box is the bee's knees, I think the nicest models in that range. The sergeant looks like a bad-ass, and I love the Myrmidon Hacker and her pose!

And that crusader brethren has finally made me decide that I must do a Knightly order army!

And although I have no desire to do a Chinese Yu Jing force, those Wu Ming demand to be painted in some kind of army camo

Infinity is growing a lot these days, so you might be able to find someone local to you who plays it. There is a thread on Dakka for this purpose:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/442911.page
Also, a more comprehensive list on the Infinity Forums.

Or the other thing to do is buy a starter pack with a mate, learn the rules, and then try and run an intro games yourself! I did it with a friend, we bought & made our own terrain and organised it with a local gaming store who was only to happy to have people coming into the store to play. (I made a thread about it http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/477642.page )

Wow, thank you Bobba!

Liking the look of the ALEPH troops, not so hot on the helmets (on any of them, i dont like that the 'eyes' are too high up, even if they are some sort of scanners, whats the point in having them up there is all its going to do is confuse you when you look at the display? As in the height change would be weird to account for).

The Knight looks pretty kickass, is he an AD trooper by any chance?

Uxis, ahh Uxia, thank you CB, thats what she should have looked like before...Kan/Alph, i really dont mind the ponytail at all, whats with the hate? I dont like her smile though i have to say...
It does disturb me that she appears to be reacting to something that was behind her, not great for a covert agent if someone can get behind you no?

Ikadron looks really good, as does the beacon, oddly not as big as i thought it was going to be from the artwork, but gorgeous looking...

Wu Ming, as good as they were before.

Gao Rael....now thi is a different story, while the model is beautiful to look at (and of course, painted to a ludicrously high standard), the pose leaves something lacking. The left hand/arm, why o why is it that far up the weapon?! Otherwise, its a sniper sniping, a rare and much appreciated occurence from CB!

Overall? What an excellent release! Cant wait to see next months (you know what its going to be )

The Crusader Brethren model is the coolest AD:CJ that CB have done since the Yuan Yuan- very nice!

The Thorakitai have an interesting take on Aleph armor- the rounded and very slender greaves in particular. Not sure yet, but I think I like it. The Agema still looks like a fatty though.

Nice eyecandy- thanks for posting all that here BobbaFett! I still come to Dakka for the compiled and simplified CB rumors, and just go to their board for discussion etc. Dakka does rumors right.

I actually like the ALEPH visors, and the new models are boss. I'm really curious about the bike trooper, though.

But yeah, the Agema pose is really unflattering. I may greenstuff his arm in a lower pose to hide his torso.

Wow oh wow what a great release!

The Steel Phalanx looks pretty darn cool. Very high-tech bad ass. I know some think the Agema looks a little weird with belly bump thing going on but still it's pretty good. I'm really curious about the rules for the Thorakitai.

I'm going to get that Uxia just for the fun of it. It's a great fig! Talk about cinematic! She looks like she's sliding on the ground and shooting at the same time. Awesome!

Again the Crusader is amazing and if I were to do a PanO it would have him!

I'm already working on lists to have the Wu Ming. I'm not hot on the rules for the LRL but it looks fantastic. I may try to convert it to have an HMG.

I don't know what to make of the Ikadron and Imetron. I will say they look ALIEN. It looks like he has two flame throwers but I want to know how fast he is and what other rules he might have. From the sound of it he can be used both in regular CA as well as sectorals. Which is good because I need them with my Shas. I just wish I could use the Imetrons with my Shas too. Of course the few times I tried using them they deviated off the board!

The Gao-Rael is cool but doesn't strike me as much as others.

I must be the only one who thinks that not all is perfect in CB land.

- Myrmidon hacker's hair (wtf).

- Eudoros's head/face seems a little odd, but overall the miniature is quite nice.

- Thorakatai w LRL's leg pose does't look quite like how someone would stand.

- Uxia's pose and hair/face disappoint me after the cool art made me expect something more like the Ariadna Spec Op. Maybe the masked Spec Op head fits on there and fixes the situation.

- Crusader Brethren's right leg... wtf was that sculptor thinking?.

- Agema's pose is stupid, I have no other words for it.

- The Gao Rael sniper is very nice (too bad I don't like the rest of the Tohaa sculpts so far)

- The Wu Ming are very cool.

- The other Thorakitai are cool as well.

- The Ikadron are nice enough, although the running pose one of them has isn't that great either.

Maybe I'm too harsh, but these little things just bother me :/

CB needs to get rid of the awkward-pose syndrom already, because it is ruining a lot of their miniatures. Such a shame. Some of their sculptors seem to have issues with leg posing especially.

The visors look cool on the Thorakitai, but the Agêma's visor makes it look like it's wearing the helmet upside-down. I really dislike that model. Not big on Uxia or the Myrmidon hacker either. Other than that, it's a really solid wave.

Shame that the Ikadron and Imetron are bundled.

What don't you like about the LRL?

Can you summarize the rules and what you take issue with?

I was thinking the same thing.

I think Shae-Konnit (and can you believe I just 'got it' concerning his name?!?) is going to get a lot of requests that he won't be able to fill!

Hopefully head swaps with their faction's leftover Spec Ops heads are possible.

Part of me really wants to see the breastplate of the Eudaros painted with the Punisher skull.

Agreed on both counts!

(Really?! Epic... You've seen his Username on the Infinity Forums right? After seeing the both of them, i keep trying to come up with more in the 'series' )

I absolutely love the Myrmidon Hacker, think she is the stand-out model in that box! I even like the 'fat dude', just because it is something a bit different (and I guess it might be some kind of enviro-suit anyway?)

Guess it just shows that it is impossible to be liked by all people, all the time!

I don't like the Myrmidon Hacker's pose.

She'd be a good alternative Myrmidon officer though.

You're right, of course, as I love everything about the Myrmidon Hacker!

6 new items, 3 of them boxes? Wow, that was unexpected.

Eudoros is a character, how curious seeing one in a starter pack.

This months miniatures are all great. The one I was more excited about was Uxía. It's not exactly whay I expected, I don't know why I was thinking in something more static and stealthy and not that dynamic, shooty, "I'm right in the middle of the action". But it's still really good, and of course... I'l buy it.
