Hmmm 15mm infinity could be awesome though brutally expensive in all metal. Guess we'll see.

I'm done for some 15mm. A pretty solid way to do large scale games without having to go GWs route.

Little disappointed with the Wu Ming, the HRL is floating above her shoulder. I would like the pose if it was a lighter weapon, like a chain rifle. This looks a bit odd.

They're wearing powered armour. If it can't help them lift a heavy gun one handed, it's not very good.

I understand that's the logic behind the pose, but it breaks the suspension of disbelief.

Well, Yu Jing Heavy Rocket Launchers don't seem particularly heavy. Raider have no issues swinging them around single handed.Given that, I don't see why a power armoured troop couldn't do the same.

A 15mm game set in the Infinity universe is a highly intriguing prospect as I adore Plastic Soldier Company and Battlefront models so TAG's or just Infiniti's aesthetic in general done well in 15mm sound really fun!

As for these latest round of releases, they all look great! what's to criticize really?
My longstanding complaint with Corvus Belli is that their beautiful aesthetic and gorgeous sculpts are hamstrung with complete spank poses but these days they've even sorted that aspect out... or I've just become desensitized to it!

The over use of 'high heeled' shoes on just about EVERY female figure has worn pretty thin but I suppose I'd be nitpicking!

What's wrong with high heeled shoes on female figures? At least they have heels to stand on. Unidron Batroids, Shasvatii, and the Iguana squadron stand on their tippy toes. And I'm not even sure the Avatar has feet...

When you're attempting to depict your female figure wielding a weapon and in the midst of a gun battle the high heels... tend to look a bit odd!

edit: But like I say, it's just about all I grumble about with CB's figures these days, they've come an awful long way and are for the most part pretty great all round.

That's the anime aesthetic coming thorugh. Like it or not, it's not going anywhere. It's just more prevalent in some factions.

For example, outside of Hassassins, they're very rare in Haqqislam.

I have a discussion going here on the market research topic. 15mm is a new thing. I'm all for it. Maybe we could wish list/ponder over here.

...in combat, you mean? It has as much wrong as it would have if every guy had high heels too. Meaning, everything.

in real life, i would agree, Al...
in a make believe world, i like the look of Combat Heels
the original female ORC Trooper is still one of my favorite Infinity sculpts...

i am glad CB sticks to their personal aesthetic preferences, because if they listened to the nay-sayers, the minis would quickly become boring and generic...
as they are, nobody else does anime influenced sci-fi that looks as cool as Infinity...

it looks like the next few months of new releases are going to be amazing!!!

cheers
jah

On that we agree Jah - love them anime combat heels!

But now that I think of it, as it is tried, true and most likely going nowhere for CB/Infinity, can everyone please take the combat heels 'debate' over to its own thread in the INFINITY sub-forum?

Thanks!

And here come the suryat finally ready to raid my wallet...
If they release in the same month as the overdron i might have to see if i can nab any spare organs.

So the next ITS winner's figure is a new Scarface. The picture on the forums is really, really poor so I'm not going to bother posting it as I'm sure something better will pop up soon.

Glad I found a place to order ITS packs for less the $50 USD as there's $80+ from CB directly (due to shipping) and my local game stores insist that they cost $120 per pack.

Can we talk about the midriff baring boob armor here?

How about a thread title update? "now with GenCon and Interplanetario news"
------
No word about the October releases? Or that ALIVE promo?

A large amount of outstanding miniatures coming along. It looks like every faction but ALEPH is getting some very nice shinies.

Carlos said the Caledonians were getting a load of resculpts. I'm wondering what's incoming.

The Highlanders are new. The Scots Guard are new, but the size creep has really made then tiny.

I'm guessing the SAS, vols, Greys and Mormears will be making an appearance. We need more Greys, the Mormears are pretty old, and the SAS models are TINY. I have the two available models and a newer Spetznaz as a stand in and it looks like Aragorn guiding Sam and Frodo through a battlefield.

Has there been a release date set for Operation: Red Veil?

It's the September release.

They won't be, the Overdron is a September release that we know all of, and it's very very rare for a faction to get more than one release.

Where can I get ITS packs that cheap ?

You can't really see him in the pictures tbh

From what I can see it just looks like the Bootleg miniature design doing a bad ass walk with an decapitated enemy's head in hand. (and I have been assured it is an Overdron and not a Tohaa head)

..which makes me think that the general release will have him holding his shotgun while striding forward.

Garuda and new Posthumans looked nice.

I don't feel anything for the new Acontecimento (yikes at the useless SWC bloat), just need plain Regulars to get my force in line of new aesthetics and scale.

Mandatory Uxia resculpt.

More stuff.

That's right Joe Scarface. Kill it and grill it. Mmmm, batroids is good eatin'.

I do like this new dynamism that we are seeing in the sculpts.

I can already see his sister freak out over his trophy taking.

Whoa, spoilers for large images please! Think of us poor mobile users!!

They're based out of Australia but the week AUD pretty much negates the shipping cost. You need to get one early in the season though as they sell out of the cheaper tournament packs quicker.

Thanks I'll check it out

It's not a rumor, but I just received the shipping notification from Corvus Belli about Red Veil. Scheduled delivery friday 02.
