No not really I do not,.

So, a company thinks Infinity is good enouph to make merchandise products for it and CB licence it to them, what is the problem again?

Who says that the company approached CB to license the stuff?

Anyways, the problem is that yet again CB opts to go for the route which puts them on the path of "Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money!".

Who says they did not? (and their historical record suggests they did not look for someone to licence their product, but granted licence to someone who asked to licence their product) moreover what is your constant problem with their decisions?

The problem is that poor quality merchandise harms the brand, and carries with it the unpleasant aroma of a cash-grab. CB will need to make sure that the quality of the merchandise, and type of merchandise, remains high. I think they learned their lesson with the first run of those Classified Objective cards. These are things that could be included in the ITS packages too. I'm surprised there are no T-shirts. There are always T-shirts. And they are always black.

Don't expect quality.

No used to be about it. They still are. Don't let Romeo (Battlefoam's Owner) hear you malign the quality of Battlefoam bags. Seriously. Truth is, they are good quality bags. I saw a lot of them back in the day when I ran the paint judging stuff at a large tournament here in the DC area. Met Romeo too. No comment. And no comment on BTP. Does it still exist?

Alpharius has the WIP of a fusilier Think of the Yu Jing minis as the beginning of your Svalarheim sectorial. (Yu jing is supposed to get one too, and a cool TAG.)

I'll wait until the last minute to decide about pre-order, just to see what else comes along, deal-wise. No need to rush into things.

Bah!

That's not true at all!

When it comes to Infinity miniatures? I don't think my WIP is even that high!

White Banner (the Yu Jing Svalarheima sectorial) already has its cool TAG. it gets the Guija, according to its dossier.

I'd buy a mug!

But reserve the right to mock them should they ever tread the dark path of painting/water cups..

Azure dragon Kickstarter is up

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097161002/azure-dragon-and-infinity-decals?ref=users



I know it should go into the Antenocities workshop thread but I don't have the energy to go looking for it.

Isn't that the star wars clone wars dropship?

They share similarities like the cockpit and troop part, but the wings, weapon points, tail, top engine mount are different.

Looks like 5 blobs for August (Agosto) 2 Dire Foes, 2 Mad Traps, and a Civvie? Or just the usual 5 minis? 2 blobs for September (Septiembre).

I have no idea how to get Instagram images to show here, so if anybody knows...

No see, one delivers heavily armored and indoctrinated troopers to quell dissent against a corrupt and increasingly oppressive inter galactic regime; whereas the other delivers heavily armored and indoctrinated troopers to quell dissent against a corrupt and oppressive inter planetary regime. Really couldn't be more different.

Really like the Al Fasid profile. 4-2, but he has stuff to do with his second short skill almost regardless of circumstance.
Looking forward to other loadouts. Mk12 would be super fun.

Instagram's images are crap for this forum's software--plus Instagram just doesn't really work for embedding.

The easiest way to do Instagram's images as embeds? Go into(for Firefox):
Tools->Page Info->Media
Scroll through until you find the image itself; then IMG tag it.

Anyways...
August had better have a Marauders box. It's crap enough that July is ONLY Red Veil.

Rather odd pricing structure for the Antenociti KS (not sure I've seen anything similar before) which seems to punish the impatient/those who aren't as bothered. I think it's that expensive anyway that most will probably just go for the £125 option.

Although.. it's expensive isn't it, as lovely as it looks. I'd need to deliberate that for some time before buying, and no doubt feel guilty about it for some time after if I did pledge!

At least there is always the option to buy the decals and throw them over some other kit.

That's a mug as well!

The only way I'd consider one is if the pound crashed even more. Not that I'd wish it on you guys, but $125au for a bit of terrain is pricey, let alone 125gbp after exchange rates.

I might have a look on the last day and see what the GPB is at and decide then.

The $125 dropship may be a bit expensive even if it has unofficial rules, but there's another part of the Kickstarter that may interest people. Decals!


4 GBP each sheet isn't bad. Plus, cheaper shipping for a decals-only pledge.

...

Sooo...the only way to get decals is from 3rd parties? Well. Not gonna say anything more about that.

And your problem with that is?

Because it's news. Gotta be complained about.

I've always liked the idea of using little faction symbols on the front of a base. Not sure if I'd back for them though rather than just wait for them to hit their webstore. Not a fan of unit badges, personally. I'd dig some more military style marks, but I can always just go find decal sheets elsewhere for that.

The dropship is lovely, but far too big for my little landing pad.

Decals though, even if way down the line, are great news.

Or maybe because it's something that should not be coming from a third party company?

It's one thing for the Dropships to be coming from AW; fair enough as CB doesn't "do" resin.
But really? Decals need to be coming from a third party?

Decals are something that have been requested for a LONG time by Infinity players. Before Human Sphere or Paradiso. The answer was always "We don't see a need for them".

The ONLY way this is acceptable is if future boxed sets start coming with them.

Eh, I've got no problem with it. Bring on more third party decals.

Yeah that drop ship is pretty...expensive. pretty and expensive.

I think I'll get one of the two from warpath when they're released, if they turn out ok. Otherwise meh.

Sooo no more USARF this year? My azra'il just got repurposed then.

Good for you then?

Transfers are something that should be included with the kit or be completely unnecessary and there should be recessed/sculpted detail that normally would be transfers.

I'd rather have third party decals than no decals.

your much better off with 3rd party, but official decals

If CB decided to di their own they'd almost certainly contract out the manufacturing anyway

this way CB gets to spend more of their time and money doing rules and minis

 Kanluwen wrote:

Is it really considered 3rd party, if there is an agreement and some sort of license that allows them to create official product? That is one of the reasons why they can't do weapons, it wasn't in their agreement to do them. It isn't like they are generic order token that utilizes a non-official symbol though. If CB was going to do it, they would have licensed someone else to do it (basically what is being done now).

I never realised there is a contract universally enforced on wargame companies that they must be GW and behave as GW.

Why should CB create their own decals (and go into trouble on learning how to do it and ultimately subcontract somebody to do it) if someone else with the expertise is willing to do it as a licensed partner?

The Azure Dragon is over $190AU delivered to Australia. It's nice, but not that nice.

In the meantime guys on the Infinity Australia FB page have been buying these for $30 from Target.
