What's the release date for Angels book?

End of the month I think.

Thanks!

Just to let everyone know that the army builder site infinity pool seems to have been updated :
http://www.infinitycreator.com/pages

Some stuff was updated, but there's more inaccuracies than correct elements. Point costs are wrong, profiles missing, weapon ranges inaccurate.

Give it a bit more time.

Apparently 'welcome to the playtest' emails have gone out for the Infinity RPG.

I've already begun looking for players.

Teucer. Holy crap he's cool.

Well crap. I've managed to avoid starting Steel Phalanx, but Teucer may change that...

ALEPH completionist here. So, it was going to be a purchase anyway, but its a beaut!

Pictures please for those that are work blocked.

Oooh Shiney

Need to start back with the hobby asap

So he's an adept of the shrouded sniper way of firing his gun...

Teucer: "Support the weapon? What do you mean? Shoot in the same direction I'm going? Are you serious?"

Maybe he's supposed to lunge out of cover, but even that premise doesn't make it look right.
The pose doesn't make much sense to me, but I'll change that and the rest of him is great. The feuerbach is sexy as hell and I really like Teucer's face.

People do realize that ALEPH's soldiers aren't humans in the traditional sense, right?

If by people you mean me, yes I do and I took that into account, but it does little to make it look right to me.

Is it just me, or does Teucer look like Daniel Craig?

I don't see it. Although, due to this pic...



he does bear a resemblance to Ed Grimly though due the hair scultping.

Booo to no one posing the picture from somewhere other then data-sphere.

.......... ... Yes. I see what you mean.

What an awesome pose, nice change from the norm for a sniper.

Because he isn't, a feuerbach (despite it's low burst, which goes to show you that B=/=firing rate) has this fluff

Rapid firing Anti-Tank weapon. The Feuerbach, or “River of Fire” in German, shoots auto-propelled projectiles, with warheads that load AP + DA Special Ammunition.

These small, lightweight projectiles have a quick loading and boosting mechanism which provides a rapid rate of fire. In exchange for this, the Feuerbach sacrifices range and destructive capacity compared to other Anti-Tank weapons, which tend to be more powerful but slower. However, the advantages of a faster rate of fire are evident, and the main reason for its success in military circles, where there only are positive comments about the weapon.

The Feuerbach is patented by FGA (Franco-Germanique Armements) and licensed to producers in different countries. Those brands commercialize the original patent with modifications to the optical and firing systems. Although, officially, its denomination derives from its rate of fire and destructive capacity, it is rumoured that the real origin of the names comes from the fondness of its designer for German philosophers of the Nineteenth century.

So its a rapid firing anti tank thing, not a sniper.

Actually, Teucer is a sniper.

He's a member of the Agema Marksman unit.

But isn't there an Agema with a rocket launcher or missile launcher?

Pheonix?

edit:
Nope. Pheonix is a Myrrmidon. Atlanta is an Agema, but carries a multi-sniper.

There is a non-character Agema with a MIssile Launcher from the Steel Phalanx box set though.

yep this fella

Agema are the marksman of the ASS. They're not all snipers.

Atalanta is the sniper. Agema in general are just marksmen with snipers, Mk12s, and MLs. Teucer just has a fancier weapon.

Agêma Marksmen have been designed to have an almost superhuman ability to aim. Since the moment of their conception in the Lhost breeding pods, every Agêma is modified to have sharp eyesight and an immovably steady hand. In Ancient Greece, the Agêma were an elite guard, and their current namesakes are no less. Their mission is to allow the forces of the Assault Subsection to engage in combat with the enemy and accomplish their mission, eliminating any threat that may appear on the way to their goal. Hidden adversaries, ordnance pieces, long range support weapons… all are natural targets for the Agêma. Nobody is safe on the battlefield when an Agêma has a clear line of sight. But make no mistake; these are not the cold sharp shooters of the Operations Subsection. The Agêma belong to the Assault Subsection and this can be seen in their combat behavior as they count and sing out each and every kill they make in a constant competition. This culminates in the glorification of the best of them at the end of the battle, marking his tally as the count to beat in the next battle.

where is teucers visor? or does he have msv2 eyes?

I assume he aims with his eyes and data transfer between his weapon and eyes.

And he really looks like Daniel Craig.

Btw: That´s the real Feuerbach



(Slightly damaged train station after a waggon was on the loose in the city of Feuerbach.)

I like the pose.
I'm just starting to become very 'aware' or the nonsensical 'don't obscure chest detail' idea.

It was noted that he has "Marksmanship X" which reduces burst to 1 and fires at a +6 BS as a whole order. Not that this replaces MSV or anything.

Even Atalanta has a MSV even if she isn't using it in the pose. Teucer may not have an MSV after all because it gets in the way of his one-arm Thug Lyfe shooting. We have minor precedent in Aleph units like Ajax not having the otherwise Myrmidon standard ODD and Kinematika 1 even in spite of being in an Enomatarchos Fireteam with them.

Yeah, Teucer's chest is also really really wide.

He must lift Feuerbachs.

Theres a touch of Anglish on that barrel
