Warsenal has some new tokens for N3

Sup. fairy dust
Targeted (FO?)
Damaged (Terrain? N3 will have some ways to damage buildings so maybe this is it)
Destroyed (Terrain?)
Supportware(Hacker?)
Isolated(IIRC "Oblivion" hacker protocol make that efect)
Marksmanship L2 (WUT?)
E. Reaction B2 (Hacker buff for remotes?)
Corrosion(new ammo efect?)
Tinbot(no idea, new bot for specialists?)
Sniffer(new equipment mentioned some time ago, basicly a marker that alows to discover in ZoC)
Blinded(after flash efect?)
Spearhead(no idea)

That is some SERIOUS proliferation of conditions for this edition. Looks like there will be a ton of new rules to understand. Perhaps with the basic mechanics well refactored, this won't be an issue, buuuuuut I'm getting a bit leery of complexity creep.

I have faith in CB, so will reserve judgement until N3 is in our hands.

In the meantime, any speculation about what Spearhead and Tinbot might be, anyone?

**Alpharius**

I was under the impression that things were getting a bit easier in N3.

This would seem to run opposite to that, though maybe a lot of those tokens are of the 'play aid' variety?

**Knight**

Well, clarifications and streamlining the rules was supposed to be the primary goal. They're free to add more special conditions and rules in their game.

**Kanluwen**

The Warstore is now reporting that November releases(Kotail with Spitfire, JSA Support Pack, Dog Warriors, Janissary with HMG, and WarCor) are in stock today and ready to ship out!

**solkan**

Of the tokens in that list, three of the mechanics already exist in 2nd edition--building damage, destruction, and getting blinded--and several of the tokens are markers for effects discussed in the Infinity Week rundown for hacker effects.

A: "What's that marker do?"
B: "It's to remind you that my remote has B2 when it declares ARO shoot. That's why it says Enhanced Reaction B2."
A: "Ah, okay."

**Alpharius**

Right - play aids!

**PsychoticStorm**

It is a crucial step towards streamlining and clarification.

**Micky**

Starting to wonder if we should just get blank tokens and write on them with a marker, ala. warmahordes.... Seriously, its getting to the point where we need to spend like $100+ to get every single token.

**aldo**

People does that? I just make my own, all you need is a printer (or paper, scisors and a pen)

**Pacific**

That's exactly what I do. Print them on to nice photo/gloss paper with a decent printer, then stick them on to Mantic Warpath bases (extremely cheap, and perfect for tokens as they taper underneath so you can easily get your fingers under them). BLAM, job done

Also has the advantage that you can just print out ones you need for your particular force..

Only if you have to buy "orginals" , but I make my own tokens, and I have some from O:IS and from boxes. Maybe they not as cool as Warsenal but they are cheap and I made them so +1 to hobby

, also there are plenty of small 2-3 men companies that do markers for Infinity as good as big time stores.
Here you got some of markers my friends are makeing, I dont think it will cost more than 50$ for whole set needed to play as it comes to less than 1$ for five markers.

Lots of those markers are just game aids for hackers and rules we know but some of them are still a big suprise: Spearhead, tinbot, marksman l2.

Thats is what I do, why spend the money when I all ready have some that work great.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Best Token/Counter Idea EVVVVVAAAA!

**Dentry**

Nice tokens but I just use dried peas. It's cheap and a tasty cleanup.

I did miss my chance to pre-order N3 during the eligible dates so no figure for me. :(

Four including Targeted.

Which leaves:
Sniffer - new equipment, like a Deployable Repeater but for Sensor instead of for Hacking.
Supportware, Enhanced Reaction & Fairy Dust are all Hacking-related.
Isolated game state for Hacking and E/M.
Tinbot sounds like a new piece of deployable equipment.

Completely unknown:
Marksmanship L2 - as this is a skill it must be a way of granting the skill temporarily.
Spearhead?
Corrosion?

**Daba**

From the name, I guess Corrosion could be a status like DIS or IMM so it sounds like something that would make sense as a token if it doesn't just cause wounds.

**ski2060**

Maybe a reduction to armor value due to acid or nanobot damage?
Guess we'll see in a couple of weeks.

Sounds logical

From:
"National Of Barcelona"

Releases:
December- Squalo and Rasail Boarding Team for Tohaa (Symbiont Armor guy and gal with Chaksa "Auxbot" with flamethrower)
January- Sogarat HMG
Govads are the new fire team for Hassassins
Imperial Agent Sanying has one foot raised on a rock. (Ha!)
New Jean De Arc for Giraldez's painting book.

Combined Army:
Maakrep are confirmed to have MSV2, but they do not have Symbiont Armor
Fraacta is confirmed to have Transmutation, how it works will make more sense in N3. (Possible swapping between profiles).
The army palette is a design choice to make the force seem more unified. Different colors made the force less attractive.
New Morat (Rodok) with Super Jump and potential for Fire Team.

New Silhouettes:
0- Prone or Unconcious
1- Palbot
2- Humanoid
3- Remote
4- Hulks (Tarik and Ajax)
5- Combat Remotes and Bikes
6- Light T.A.G.s (Geckos) and Larger Models (Dog Warriors and potentially Antipodes)
7- Normal T.A.G.s
8- Maghariba Project if they can get the kinks out.

Ariadna still remains "unhackable" some units have a Hackable characteristic.
Frenzy cause you to become Impetuous at the beginning of your next turn.

New background in the book.
Smoke interactions have changed for ARO, Dodge is straight PH, Shooting back is at a -6 unless you have MSV or SS.
All REMs drop in price.
Success of Icestorm is going to allow Corvus Belli to really push Infinity to the level they want and gain more recognition as a gaming and miniature company.
ITS 2015 has more missions, new formats, new miniatures for the tournament, potential for seasons with backstory.
Updating the profiles for free raised some eyebrows?
New Graphic Designer named Hugo is helping to recreate the Infinity website potentially.

More REMs you say? I love the idea.

**Henshini**

Am I the only one that sees the Fairy Dust token? All this talk about the tinbot makes me worried I'm the only one that sees it.

**GrimDork**

Man that counters link was awesome. I think I'm off to hobby lobby like... now

**GrimDork**

So yeah it works really really well, I'm sold.

**Chillreaper**

I don't recall ever feeling as smug as the time that I put those epoxy disks on my O:I counters.

Very impressed with myself - and it wasn't as if I came up with the idea!

The big question is whether I should use two disks or not...

**SlaveToDorkness**

Well... if you want to pick them up as easily as I can you simply must use two disks... [/smuggestvoiceever]

Nope.

**Fenriswulf**

Alternative idea, stick two of the tokens back to back and then put a disk on each side, that way you've got alternative sides to use in the game, cutting down on clutter in your carrying case or whatever.

BoW's latest infinity escapades.

Spoiler:

Almost the entire infinity range laid out. Try not to drool.

**Pacific**

See they have taken a photo of IJW's garage then

**str00dles1**

Really makes you wonder the cost of it all...

**GrimDork**

I'm not having trouble picking up the single sided counters, maybe I need to trim my nails up a bit =/

That's a *lot* of Infinity swag, jeebus.
