I'm guessing we get the final previews tuesday? Then finally the Huge News on the 26th-27th. I'll have to f5 over at the Spanish forum then...

We've already gotten all the previews barring the Clipsos.

In today's Weekender BoW guys have confirmed they are attending the big Infinity event in Spain next week. Hopefully we will have a nice video.

I've watched last GenCon's conference a couple of times, I love that kind of videos :3

Yes their shows are nothing if enthusiastic, definitely looking forward to the coverage.

What are the odds on what the new announcement is going to be? Some kind of interior battles system along with new terrain? New book?

With BoW being a self funding and very small operation, it must be a major announcement to warrant them going to Spain. Whether they or Corvus Belli are funding the trip, it isn't an expense either company would take on just for some terrain.

Agreed!

I'm getting rather excited now - it is only about a week away, and with BoW in attendance, we should have some decent coverage and, more importantly, Pics!

**Erasoketa**

Honestly I have no idea at all. Maybe a new book (to be pre-released at GenCon? Because that's what most of us is expecting for the next book), maybe a new deal with a third party to develope a different kind of product... or maybe they are making another line like Dire Foes and Bootleg. They have talked before about "battle ravage", as in minis showing battle damage.

Or maybe they are not presenting a particular product and just want to clarify what's going to be happening from now until the release of the next book.

It's all speculation...

**PsychoticStorm**

Battle ravage will be just another themed bootleg release, when it happens.

**Pacific**

That sounds very cool! Imagining some diorama with a TAG that's been badly damaged, and the crew member having jumped out and inspecting it (or having a sit down or something!)

**PsychoticStorm**

Well you already have this, admittedly Scarface took a bit more drastic course.

It is only an 8 hour drive from Pamplona to Granada.... just sayin'

BoW might be there because quite a bit is going on. FicZone is more than just an Infinity Event. But BoW is on very good terms with CB so I expect good coverage.

I've done that drive before, and it's not exactly my idea of a nice journey xD I'd rather read the comments, see the pics and watch the videos. Or go by train, but I can't afford it.

Interesting comment on the Antenociti LifeInvader page, quite possibly relevant!

Booked-in a new 3d Designers over the weekend for around a dozen new civilian vehicles of various types, sizes and degrees of "sci-fi-ness"... which frees up Jed to concentrate on developing scenery for " a certain game".
Meaning that Jed's been working on 25mm, 40mm and 5mm bases over the weekend, plus more scenery scatter items for sci-fi tables.. you can never have too much scatter.
On top of that we will soon be releasing some new fantasy sets for interior and exterior detailing, as well as some resin house kits... expect more and more detailed news once the website and blog have been fully updated.

**Baiyuan**

Seems relevant to me!

**bantha_beast**

oops double post.

**energongoodie**

Antenocitis workshop are gearing up for their kickstarter. It is to fund Infinity civilian vehicles. They are also releasing 3 faction specific dropships. They are just finalising the design of these with Corvus Belli. Their terrain prototypes looked amazing and there is more of that to come.

**Pacific**

Ooooh, that's good news! Thanks for posting that titbit

Everyone gets caught by this at least once.. if you double post, just leave them and then one of them will vanish under mysterious circumstances later on.

No probs

I spoke to them at Salute and they were very excited about this year and their involvement with Infinity.

**-Loki-**

Any idea which 3 factions? Or if there will be accompanying rules?

**GrimDork**

I might have to back an AW ks, break from those or not. Interesting.

**Alpharius**

3 Factions only?

I'd guess:

1) PanO
2) Yu Jing (MAYBE Aleph)
3) Combined Army (just because)

**Bolognesus**

I'm pretty sure PanO will be in, yeah. (Also: yay!)
Combined would be... interesting. I'd expect a specific morat ship with all the love they've been getting rather than a "generic" CA ship (if that could even be a thing, given how diverse the faction is).

Aleph would probably just use ships from an aleph-aligned faction, right?

Also, where are Nomads on that list - if anything, they ought to get one!

**energongoodie**

I asked what the factions would be. He wouldn't tell me but I had a guess anyway. I guessed Pan-O, Yu-Jing and Aleph. He said I got 2 out of 3. Which ain't bad.
I asked about rules and he would only smile and say that "Corvus Belli are intending to move the game on." Now I'm not saying that we are about to get a load of vehicle rules, but I just got the sense that something is gonna happen that is a bit of a shake up. I just don't know what. The guy was excited though

There's more than just that though.

-Blister with 20 x 25mm Bases 3.50€

-Blister with 5 x 40mm Bases 3.50€

-Blister with 5 x 55mm Bases 3.50€

**PsychoticStorm**

Well people wanted base extensions to go away.

CB delivered.

**Alpharius**

I'm going to need to get quite a few bases...

**Antenociti**

.... remarkable coincidence but i spent a part of this easter weekend making 3 new ranges of bases all of which just happen to have 55mm sized bases in them....

fancy that eh?

**warboss**

At 5mm difference, I suspect you might be able to use any left over 40k dread/monstrous creature bases you have.

**Alpharius**

Antenociti just dropped news that they're working on 8 drop ship concepts...

Guess how many factions there are in INFINITY?

(Not counting MERCS!)

**warboss**

Fourteen?

I am glad to hear about the drop ships and not just the Adrian Monk in me was starting to be bothered by the drop ship thread title but no drop ships for over a year!

**Alpharius**

Smart-Ass Alert!

Nomads
PanO
Yu Jing
Combined Army
Haqqislam
Ariadna
Tohaa
Aleph

The poor sectorials will just have to bum a ride on their Parent's Dropship!
