On the front page the description reads: "The Infinity Artbook One is now listed for PreOrder! We just received the information on this book, coming in Late August. Each book will also come with the Free PreOrder miniature and the Free 10 deluxe Infinity cover prints!"
In this book you will find out how the concept design process of some of your favorite miniatures was developed. But not only that, would you like to witness the evolution of the Stingray T.A.G. series? Do you want to know how the final design of the Tohaa was reached? Are you asking yourself about what concept designs of Lucien Sforza were rejected? In this book you will get all those answers and even more.
"Infinity. Artbook One" offers 148 pages full of previous sketches, development designs, final artwork and unreleased stuff.
Also, with every book you get 10 deluxe Infinity cover prints. For free!
My assumption is that it will come with the miniature, but it can't hurt to ask Neal I suppose.

Another pic of Miranda Ashcroft.. whose background sounds rather a lot like the story of Lara Croft from what Carlos was talking about in the video.. !
I wish the pre-order for the book followed the video game pattern of paying 10% or so now, then the final when it is released...

The simple problem is that with many of their "dynamic poses", it comes down to the sculptor having envisioned the model doing something which involves another model.
It is not hard to envision Lara...I mean Miranda in the midst of a duel with Senor Massacre over a bounty that both have sought.
Without the second model though, the dynamic vision is lost.
I liked the revelation that the book cover image features an Oznat, and she looks damn cool too... kinda good to know that all of my female morat figures wont be Zerats
I completely agree. Everything about her is great but the model is just comes across like cold tea. Still, conversion potential, very nice conversion potential.
In other news! The Dakka Painting Challenge: Two Tickets to Paradiso, has moved into the voting stage!
Come along and get your votes in!

What's old Marlene going for these days anyway? I assume she is extremely common despite the controversy at the time. And what of the other limited editions?
Well worth watching the videos on Beasts of War .. amazing how much thought goes into the design process..
A couple of nuggets of info which I found interesting..
- Ariadna are one of the best selling factions. Carlos thought it was because people who were not so into the 'sci-fi' elements of Infinity could find more to relate to (in terms of current military and cultural traditions) with them. Also, their background of being the underdog in the game .
- Uxia McNeil (which is pronounced 'Ooshia' by the way ) is a favourite of the design team, already 2 miniatures released for her including a 3rd one on the way?
- Dog soldiers (+ McCurrough) will feature in the artbook.
Also.. a reminder that apparently the new Art book is going to be officially launched at Gencon this year.

Have you noticed if any of our etailers put this up for preorder yet? I usually buy from Defiant but they only have X-Wing stuff in the preorders section thus far.

I buy all my stuff through my FLGS, so I'll know on Thursday or Saturday, depending on when I drop in.

I think the 3rd miniature is actually a resculpt of the first one. That mini hasn't aged well at all.

Unless somebody's heard otherwise I've got the feeling that rather than army deals the 'bonus' to this Infinity week is the celebration and pre-order bonus of an art book that the (Infinity) community has been clamoring for a while... :(
It's still cool. I'd love to see some army deals too, though! ;P

I'm getting that same feeling Scrub. Let's just say that unless they pull something really special later on, this is going to be a big disappointment.

Bear in mind that the "army deals" always tend to break their distribution network and restocks for months afterwards.
They may not be doing them this year simply to avoid such a thing happening again.
