Hopefully the Agema Marksman Sniper and Mk. 12 both go for a professional snipery pose as well, instead of the pose their HRL brother has.

You don't like the Fonzie "eyyyy!" pose?!?!

...neither do I. It's pretty much the reason I had to rebend/resculpt some of the Agema's arm to have him holding the weapon rather than striking a pose. It's also why I hate the Haqqi Fonzie Hafza with Spitfire; I glued a SpecOps Spitfire onto the back of the unarmed Hafza and called it a day.

I'm less irked by the Hafza with Spitfire but that is simply because it is easy to imagine the Hafza as laying down cover fire with the Spitfire.

You cannot really do that with a HRL.

Oh, that Morat starter! I hope that Suryat turns out to be a new sculpt. While I like the single one, he's just kind of standing there. I want a more action-y one.

The MAF box is all new sculpts.

ABC Warriors are introduced to the Infinity universe?...

I'm assuming that you can cram an Iguana and at least 2 Gecko's into a list with some Riot Girls? I have some terrible plans.

So Dire Foes, seems to be 2 model character box sets, the models play vs each other and a 300pt army in costom missions. Wonder how it will pan out.

I don't quite get you...

Box sets with characters and supporting figures to equal 300 points maybe?

Why is everything nice in the Americas? Why can't we have anything nice in the cold north?

In other news: Should I grab the French too? To complement (or watch over) the Russians?

Basically the box comes with 2 models, each meant to lead a 300pts force, in a fluff based missions. The mission will like be like Paradiso, were they give you the faction and units you should take for true to fluff forces. But, could play any force you want instead. The charaters are also said to be important figure in Infinity fluff, and some will make good VIPs.

This sounds remarkably like an idea I harped upon for GW before "Dark Vengeance" came out.

I love it.
C'mon Intruder McAwesomePants.

[rant]You get decent and affordable healthcare and higher education. We get slick marketing and really big cars. I think you win. I'll trade you GenCon for doctors' visits that don't cost a whole week's pay.[/rant]

Yes you should. Merovingians are amazing. They start up close and then punish the enemy. The damned Chasseurs are particularly hard to kill for 20-point troops. Oh, and parachuting werewolf support...

So what characters are still outstanding that would make good paired opposites? Karnok Gazrot and someone human surely... who else?

From Reddragon on the Official Forums:

Have a little more time to post some more info about the Dire Foes boxes now that the tournament is over.

There will be 3 models in each box. A spec ops for each faction plus a VIP that has relevance to each scenario. Because the models are characters and not spec-ops, they are completely valid for everyday play and ITS. Each one coming out is the opposite sex of the current line of spec-ops and can be used in that capacity as well. They are:

ALEPH (Trasimedes) and Nomads (Lupe Balboa)
Tohaa (Aelis Keesan) and Shasvastii (Hasht)
Morat (Anyat) and PanO (Bipandra)
PanO (Konstantinos/Psychotic Storm) and Haqqislam (Yasbir)
Ariadna (Isobel Mcgregor) and JSA (Yurika Oda)

And look, there's our very own Psychotic Storm posing next to his Spec Ops!
(Congrats PS! You're famous! )
























Also, here are the August releases:

And another thing. NCA will have a starter with a new model type. And they will have a weapon like Marker. Except instead of deployable repeaters, it will shoot mines.

In reply to "What exactly does a K1 Combi Rifle do?"

Well, considering it reduces its targets armor to 0, imaging firing at a TAG with that Combi Rifle. ARM 10? Nope. ARM 0 now. Take a few wounds. Almost like a mono round. Except I don't think it will do the autofill. Although getting rid of the ARM almost will do that with a lot of models.

First of all, that QK box is a dream come true: I've always wanted to buy 3 of those holoprojector nerds. I'm only sad that it also contains an Odalisque, since I have all of them to date. Hmmm, might as well trade her or cut off her head and use it somewhere else.

That Gecko is also real nice. Might buy with Scarface if I wish to expand my QK. AND THAT GUI FENG AND INDIGO. I wish the Haqqislam one would appeal to me more: I'm just not that into the Hassassin look, at least if t's repeated all over the army.

Geckos cannot be taken by anyone except Corregidor/vanilla Nomads.

Hassassin Husam! I guess that means the current Husam is a Hafza (with those holo nodes).

Why is Daenerys in infinity now?

Sometimes CB like to base models on people/characters from other media. For example, the 4 Aconticimento regulars are based on the 4 main characters from Lost, and the Maghariba Guard pilot is meant to be based on a Bollywood actor.

Not surprised a fan of pop culture is a fan of Game of Thrones, so it was only a matter of time for an Infinity fig to be based on a character from it.

Is it just me or are the female models getting more and more cheesecake?

Ariadna certainly got the worst of it.

More cheesecake than the catgirl?
Guess sales numbers made them do it.
And it is a niche, as GW doesn't produce female looking female models.

You have just seen the pictures of Atalanta and the two female Kamael models, right? Atalanta is a great looking sniper model and the first female one in a while that i can remember that isn't just posing out with her gun. The artwork will always be slightly more 'cheesecakey' than the models so lets wait and see what the models are like first, eh?

Yes, Carlos commented in one of those BoW videos that the guy who does the concept art (I forget his name) is a massive anime fan, and so they carry that aesthetic. Then, each sculptor (tending to be one per faction, so each faction develops its own personality rather than the same themes re-occurring) adapts that concept art - you often end up with something in-between that original concept, the description of the unit as written in the background, and the sculptors interpretation.

But in answer to your question SilverMk2 - no! This has pretty much been the style of Infinity since the beginning, but it's just now they are seemingly getting better at it..

Absolutely stoked by some of these new releases the art for them looks incredible. My only disappoint is that unfortunate Fusilier Angus (got to love that ****-eating grin ) isn't one of the 'dire foes'

Angus seems to be a VIP for one of the Dire Foes scenarios.

So far, judging by the concepts, I'd get every single one of those models, even for proxies. But then, I said the same about Bootleg pilots and after seeing the models I know I won't be buying those.

Angus and Bipandra, LOL

All this Dire Foes thing looks AWESOME to me.

Edit: now I'm reading your comments about the Daenerys reference. Hmm. Look again at Trasimedes. Jon Snow?

Thanks for posting that huge update Kan - lots of great stuff in there!

Have to admit, that K1 Combi Rifle makes my Jotum sad.

So much awesomely, incredible, brilliant news!

Don't get the Dire Foes thing yet but I'm sure we'll hear more soon and the proposed miniatures are dyno.

Guges just put up a whole slew of pictures and I'm cherrypicking here:

More army icons:

Well I think I need a whole Corregidor section for my Nomads now, full of Gecko-y death. Plus I want me some Morats. Oh and I still want to do my Caledonian hybrid clan.

...I love you Corvus Belli.

That Pheasant rank Imperial agent is absolutely menacing.

I'm in the process of moving house, but I have a feeling once I'm settled it will be time to take the plunge and getting more than a starter set for this.

Wow...Infinity just keeps getting better and better! It's time I start a small board and get a friend or two playing this game stat! The Iguana and Gecko's are going to push me into doing a nomad force real quick.

Also, the NCA army box is that Neoterran Capitaline Army? If so I am now super psyched.

The new concepts for the Morats will most likely push me into doing them as well!

SO many mini's so little money...
