I'm not usually that keen to listen to BoW videos, but judging from the comments that they get plenty of people are. Why begrudge those people their viewing pleasure? It isn't like they are watching Jersey Shore or anything. Also, it seems likely that CB keep working with BoW because they feel that it helps their business, which in the long run helps me by giving me new opponents. Hooray!

ALL:

OK, here's the deal - STOP mentioning other users in any way that can be seen as insulting/negative.

It is against the rules of this site.

People have strong opinions - and no shock here - sometimes they are going to be negative - so be it!

If you cannot mention someone without taking a swipe at them, or running them done, then DON'T MENTION them.

Attack the arguments not the person.

Personally BOW is a mixed bag for me I like some stuff dislike others but I think them getting new people into infinity in order to grow the game is a great thing.

I want more people playing infinity. More people playing the more people to play against the more chance of your local game store stocking Infinity and so on.

**Erasoketa**

I actually enjoy BoW videos (and miniwargaming.com too), they help me a lot to know better games that are alien in my area. Not only Infinity, WarmaHordes, Spartan stuff, I mean even smaller Spanish games like Carnivale (I received today my parcel from Carnivale's KS). Their Infinity weeks are usually a bit underwhelming to me, because I'm torturing my f5 key and expect a lot of them, but usually what they do, I like.

I understand that not everyone likes them, and I respect that, I myself can't stand certain youtubers, but I do think that these guys are promoting and helping the hobby.

**warboss**

They're annoyingly stupid and paid informercial faux "excited" at times but I can definitely say they helped introduce me to Infinity and I do enjoy some of the previews.

**SlaveToDorkness**

I wish they stayed on script (or even HAD one) and I wish their accents didn't make it impossible to understand them.

They're not as rage-inducing as BTP videos though!

That's it exactly. It helps games reach a 'ciritical mass', the more gaming groups play, the more shops sell, the more the game grows. It's a steam-roller effect.

Really CB know this (as do other companies) and so BoW and other sites are a great platform to give as much visibility to their games as possible.

**warboss**

I don't have any issues with their accents personally and understand them just fine. The only guy I had trouble with was the one that had the falling out with them and now does grainy out of focus lounge chair videos in his 4x6 man cave. I think he was scottish though and the rest of the team is mainly northern irish. Unfortunately, he was the most honest out of the bunch despite his mumbling and the one that I always listened for to hear about whatever the new cheese that the rest like Warren et al would just hand way away as forging the narrative.

**Kanluwen**

The Symbiomates are ADORABLE!

**BobbaFett**

Galwegians

Aquila Guard

Tiger Soldiers

Fraacta drop unit

Kaeltar Specialists

Classified Deck

**Guildsman**

EDIT2: And somehow my second post is gone. Anyway. Those symbios really are adorable. One question: is one of them a bomb?!?

**Barzam**

That's a lot of shotguns in this release. Figures all look really good. I love all of the Tohaa stuff. Even the Highlanders look really good, and I have zero interest in them.

**caylentor**

multipost :(

**BobbaFett**

Kaeltar Fluff:

Kaeltar Specialists
Note on Vaarso Battlespeak: In the Tohaa Trident, certain support units which employ specific technologies that lie outside the normal realm of tactical operations require designations with double enumeration.
According to Neebab Numerology, the number 2 represent dominion, boldness coupled with self-control, and the ability to exert influence. However, the number 10 always reflects difficult situations of ruin and personal loss. Therefore, the meaning of the numerical combination of the Kaeltar (10-2) is dominion, control, and the handling of chaotic situations which have suddenly turned dangerous.

Profile: The Kaeltar Specialists make up the difficult situations unit of the Tohaa Trident. They have been trained in the complex Corahtar discipline to control the SymbioMates who provide vital support by improving units which use symbiotic gear and who are expected to face particularly hostile and bloody resistance. Their primary task is to use their pheromonic tools and abilities to contain and reduce enemy aggression. Meanwhile, with their terrible SymbioBombs, they can increase the offensive potential of troops wearing symbiotic armor.

However, the Kaeltar Specialists’ tactical acumen goes beyond this. Because of their highly technical specialization and their particular profile, always intervening in high risk operations, all Kaeltar are high ranking non-commissioned officers with ample experience in the field. For this reason, the Kaeltar always keep a cool head in the midst of chaos and are capable of taking command when the team leader falls and the situation becomes impossible. In a unit such as the Kaeltar Specialists, the question is not whether the mission they’ve been given will go to hell, but rather when it will go to hell and how much it will hurt. It is in this moment that they show what they’re worth.

Crammed into their uniforms and surrounded by all that esoteric pheromonic gear, the Kaeltar exude tranquility, a vibrant tranquility, as though beneath there were a latent fire within, a fire which needs only the kindling of disaster in order to overflow and take control.

**ClockworkChaos**

Ok I need those Tohaa. Will be getting them the next time I pick up some Infinity. What are the stats on those guys and point cost? Anyone know yet? I would love to be able give them a purpose rather than just stick them in cause they look awesome and adorable.

**Pacific**

What in God's name!?

Finally, something more annoying/cutesy to kill than the Crazy Koala or Fast Panda, it had to happen eventually!

So glad that Classified Objectives deck is coming (looks like some nice artwork on them as well), will be pre-ordering those the moment they become available.

**warboss**

Someone spilled pokemon all over the infinity.

**PsychoticStorm**

I think Ill get a second classified set just for the artwork.

**warboss**

Is the classified card thing a new (card) game or like the maelstrom objective cards this edition in 40k?

It's used for the tournament system, mostly to select and track the player specific hidden objectives.

**warboss**

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Another month, another 30 days without a Maghariba preview. :(

**ImAGeek**

Those little aliens are adorable!

**Chillreaper**

Strange.

Those things are the first bit of Infinity's design that I just don't get.

Looking at the bright side, I'll get to enjoy making them go pop with Shock rounds!

**Red Harvest**

Am I the only one who saw the Galwegian in the blue tartan kilt and thought, "There can be only One?" It seems so... obvious.

Geez, the Tohaa look fantastic. And the Fraacta.

**Erasoketa**

Meanwhile, some English speaking guys are complaining about other English speaking guys. Well you know, at least they speak your language.

@RedHarvest actually all four guys are pretty obvious if you have a good look

Well yeah.
The one on the far left is Sean Connery, the next is Liam Neeson, then Christopher Lambert, and the last one is David O'Hara.

Not the first time, almost definitely not the last that they sculpt a model in someone's likeness.

**Red Harvest**

..And no Mel Gibson? Tsk-Tsk CB

Still so much better than the previous minis.

I can recognise who two of the others look like as well.

Not sure about the guy with the blue stripes on his face though.. ?

**Kanluwen**

David O'Hara.

Aka the Crazy Irish from Braveheart.
