Heh. You're having to compete with ChoKonnit's split service, I think.

They're like the Navy SEALS of Infinity. Once they have more Kamau, I'm definitely running them with a Cutter.

If only we played with actual WATER in a game. *shakes fist* One day... one day.

Make your opponents(I'm sure Zeta is game for it) actually use the terrain rules?

Yeah, he would be, but he's moved out to Idahooooooooold on a minute!

How do you know Zeta?

Varuna/Deep Wars mashup?

I think you could make a cool oil rig table and have it playable for everyone, or whatever the equivalent of an oil rig would be 175 years in the future. Kamino cloning facility? Artificial island resort?

Personally, I hope they don't resculpt the ORC too far away from the original, that was the original Infinity model shown and still one of my top 5 favorites. They just need to fix the awkward combi rifle arm into something that actually looks like it's being used

Do you have the Infinity Art Book? If so: There is an art plate of a Varuna resort complex. Looks like something out of the game "Brink".

I think it'll get a new pose and possibly become a bit beefier.

Uuugh. Don't remind me of that game. So much potential. So much fail.

But now that you mention that, it would be a killer idea for a Varuna themed board. And the Kamau are part of the elite anti-terrorism units and all that.

...if Brink had movement systems like Titanfall did, it would have been much much better. Or at least more interesting.

Why must all the things with pretty art styles die in obscurity...

**Riquende**

I'm sure there was Infinity being played on a 'resort' board at Salute this year, definitely something with a beach.

**Barzam**

Damn, I totally missed that news about the starter. I guess we have a pretty good idea where that Mobile Brigada sculpt will be showing up. I do wonder if this is going to be a Tunguska heave set though. Most of Corregidor either has received a new sculpt or already had good ones aside from the Alguaciles. Bakunin doesn't really fit the fluff of industrial espionage while Tunguska does and they lack enough units to actually field a sectorial.

I kind of wonder if those silhouettes are actually indicative of the figures that'll be in the starter. If so, both sides seem to have guys waving swords around.

Varuna sectorial might actually get me to be interested in PanO. I hope it happens soon, but it seems like the starter set is going to be Svalarheima.

**GrimDork**

Is there any kind of ETA on this, even educated speculation? I would be sorely tempted to pick it up if it were at gencon, for instance, though the 3.0 rules are probably not due out by then (if they are actually included or used by this). If it were likely to be there I'd need to hold back some more cash.

**Barzam**

the really nice thing about that 2-player starter is that I might finally be able to get Tamburlaine to play the game with me. I kind of hope that is the first N3 product out the gate.

**GrimDork**

Having two infinity factions would be good for me too, i'm pretty likely to just keep collecting nomads for the foreseeable future... and individuals or sets for dioramas.

Gen Con seems the most likely, given when they've started teasing.

I hope not GenCon, as GenCon releases mean that it won't be generally available until November to January...

**IJW**

Who said anything about a Gen Con prerelease?

**Knight**

I hoped Varuna would be before Svalarheima. The mat and terrain is rather tempting... don't have any interest in Nomads tho. :(

**Alpharius**

Not me!

Svalarheima before...anything!

I'll still pick up all the Varuna stuff too though...

**GrimDork**

But but a Gencon anything would make me feel all special and included for once

And poor, stupid expensive models

You are writing that as though you may have some extra news on that IJW! Is that the case?

**IJW**

I just think that it wouldn't make sense as a pre-release.

Anyone can wait a few months extra for a TAG and it makes a nice bonus for people who come to the convention. Having the first proper starter set for the game as an 'attendee bonus' would be nuts, that's something that needs to be on worldwide sale as soon as it's available.

Especially if it involves new Nomad and PanO starter packs.

**Kanluwen**

So apparently every Monday is now "#SniperShot" on the official Infinity Twitter account. There's a sneak peek of the Nikoul Ambush Unit.

**monders**

I was really eager to pick up two starter sets, but due having a busy social calendar haven’t had chance.

I think I’ll squirrel a few quid away this pay day and next and await the release of this set instead.

I could probably get my mate go halves in too.

**Killionaire**

I've played with Water rules before in Infinity, on a board made of platforms and tiny islands connected by bridges, with buildings on top.

Ran Kamau, a Cutter and various other pure land units. My naval team swam in, going prone to break LOS under water and with terrain in the way, popped up and aced some Ariadnans.

My Ariadnan opponent used their WB units (Caledonians) to tangle it up with me in the water, as they had multiterrain. It was actually really cool.

**GrimDork**

That does sound neat, I think as long as both players get to know about conditions like that (and have a potential solution) it could lead to some pretty fun gaming.

That does sound very cool! Been thinking of doing a similar thing with a spaceship/external of a spaceship hull if I can ever get the bits together.

What kind of terrain were you using?

**MRPYM**

recent post from Giraldez.

Its a scout most probably.

**4rgfvsw6p**

It is almost certainly a Scout, based on the June releases.

**Barzam**

Is that German camo he's using? That ought to be an impressive paintjob then.

I'm surprised that nobody else has posted about it, but Antenociti dropped quite a bit of info about the "Made for Infinity" Kickstarters he'll be doing. Yes, Kickstarters.

Hey JJ,

If its got a * next to it then it is still being worked on.. main "delay" at the moment is awaiting pre-painted samples and costing for the MDF scenery.

There are no previews available at the moment (some items still need CB authorization and most have not yet been painted), updates will appear in this forum and on our Facebook page as we get them.

We are trying to get this on to KS for the end of June... however that date is subject to change.
Delivery date <=3 months from end date

-----

KS 2: "Urban Deconstruction":

(Following list is preliminary and subject to change)

Buildings: x11 (Doctors, Sushi Bar, Modular Kiosks, Nightclub, Police Station, House 1, House 2, Apartment, Garage, Vehicle Bodyshop, Garbage Disposal Unit)

Gaming mat x 5 types (each of two sizes)

Gaming Tiles Set (urban)

Building Interior Packs: x9 +
Civilian Vehicles (x23 {and counting} including Bus, Truck, Vans etc)

Dropships 1, 2 & 3.

Tentative date September 2014
Delivery Date <=3 months from end date

-----

That's really about as much as I know at this point!

This was all shamelessly copy/pasted from his page about it on CB's forum.

**Alpharius**

Oh boy...could get really expensive, really quickly!

Antenociti puts out super high quality stuff!

**GrimDork**

Im a little afraid to even check it out once it goes live... really neat stuff for sure.

**Absolutionis**

<=3mo from the KS end date for delivery is quite ambitious. We all know that Kickstarters rarely hit their mark, but with AW and all this prior organization, it seems believable.

It's almost as if he knows these projects will be a success.

I'm only disappointed that the Dropships will come after the buildings/terrain. With only three of them, it's unlikely Aleph or Haqqi will get one (which means they'll have to 'acquire' one through other means).

The first 3 are Aleph, Haqqislam and Yu Jing.

They also plan to do at least one per faction.
