Just a heads up folks, I have had a miserable time putting the Sandtrap minis together. They needed a hilarious amount of Super Glue Activator. The glue seemed to just bead off the metal. Both factions.

I've built a fair bit of Infinity over the years and this is the first time I've had any issues but yeah, not fun.

Out of interest when you glue metal models do you wash them first (warm lightly soapy water - and worn toothbrush scrubbing); and when you come to the join itself do you crosshatch score both joining surfaces?

The former gets the oils/release agents off the model and the latter makes a dramatic improvement in bonding time (full cure still takes the same length of time ,but scoring makes it hold tacky and firm way faster)

ah FFS - I always wash my minis, regardless of material, but this time I didn't. It just completely slipped my mind.

I should have come here to have a moan after building the first few models and saved myself a load of mither... and sticky fingers.

*update*

my Hatamoto's head fell off just now, so I've given him a good scrub in warm soapy water... fingers crossed (and hopefully not glued together)

Just a quick head's up. The release date for the rulebook has been delayed. It is now Soon®, probably some time in early to mid December.

Aha! The dreaded double post. Infinity N5 releases today. You can get the rules here and the new tokens here. Infinity army is updated and online here For all the downloads, The resource page is here

And here we have the Essentials videos so you can learn the game:

Thank you guys !

Looking forward to getting back into the game in the new year.

Imperial Service Trailer has just dropped.

They do love that Guard rule, don't they. Fantastic looking models all around. Not my faction, but some great stuff.

These look absolutely fantastic. I hope they give the rulese an overhaul to match.

Those are some lovely miniatures...

A mixed bag as usual and somewhat of a departure from the previous ISS design motifs.

Not a fan of the crane at all without its back spikes and head coil, looks rather bland now.
I also preferred the old CG. I find the infantry in general lacklustre compared to previous designs.

On the other hand, I love the palace guard creature and drop remote.

Unboxing ISS

I'm the same as bertbert, was really hoping this refresh was going to be good. Unfortunately I think I prefer the older designs for all the infantry. The palace guard thing and drop remote are admittedly very cool. Will be a right pain to get separately though I imagine 😞

Another one for most of the re-designs leaving me cold. Some of the new stuff is good (the drop-drone is neat in an ugly utilitarian way and the guard mini has panache), but the Pheasant and Crane feel like they were done dirty. Also, not really fond of the new Wu Ming either. The proportions seem more top-heavy than before with those shoulder pads feeling out of place for the faction aesthetic. Don't get me wrong, in the right place, big shoulders can be bad-ass (or I wouldn't have an MC/Warzone avatar), but I don't think they work in this case.

I'll still need to see the rules redesign as well, though going the infiltration/camo-route means it will see a lot of direct comparison to Vanilla and White Banner which may be good or bad. I did kind of like the older direct approach ISS used to take, but also admit that not having any strong tricks tends to make for a weaker army. So it remains to be seen if the update pushes Yu Jing further in to being a high-tech camo-spam faction or if they do something interesting with the new stuff.

Pretty cool miniatures and in glorious metal. Yujing was my faction of choice.

I hope they do well enough that one day the big miniatures can done in proper plastic sprues, rather than the other materials.

Javier Ureña's designs made me fall in love with Infinity and there has been somewhat of a departure from his aesthetics in recent years.

Absolutely loving some of the new Yu Jing stuff. I'm torn between either some White Company or Ikari Company (as I love the colours), will have to look through the Army Builder options.

Nice to see scarface get an update. The art for that double set of figs is one of the earliest model sets (along with the Anaconda double pack) that stood out to me. Prior to that it was a line of spindly expensive figs that looked good as cyberpunk replacements... until I discovered the Majesty that is the TAG!

These are really great miniatures. I only wish they where done in plastic.

Most of them are made in plastic. CB is now producing the big models on UNICOOL, is plastic resin similar to GWs plastic.

From the above: Vystrel, Scarface, GoPod all those are in plastic.

Looks like the PanO big boy got a refresh...




I wasn't a fan of the old model at all but I do mostly like this one. I'm a bit ambivalent to the buffet style plate ejector/mortar on it's back but even with that quibble it's a massive improvement nonetheless.

Also, it looks like there was another big Nomad TAG reveal yesterday as well with a redone Iguana. Is this a TAG themed summer for CB? I think for this one that I prefer the original's sleeker design.

I'm guessing they are pushing getting more of their bigger models away from more expensive metal into the newer material.

Some very nice updates. Not sure I like the landspeeders, er jetbikes, er gopods.

Ah, in a move likely to please Alpharius if he is still around, an updated Jotum, reveal here


Very nice, if you ask me. I couldn't get a non-blurry screenshot, but the video is short enough.

Who did YJ get for Dire Foes since the JSA split?

I think the last one that had YJ was back when Kaldstrom was released, and it has imperial agent Adil as YJ model, but that loadout has been removed from N5 army list anyway.

The two TAGs look pretty good, I like that the recent Nomad Tags are so divergent from the rest, almost leaning back into the aesthetic of the early N1 Szalamandra and Lizard with their bulk and head being incorporated into the torso.

It is nice to be remembered!

I *kind* of like the new Jotum, but a lot of CB's latest refreshes/a lot of their miniature line (especially the TAGs) seems to heading towards the same point in terms of the overall 'look and feel'.

Though, maybe they kind of always did?

I think the new Iguana is awful and the new Jotum is great.
