Infinity General: June Releases Edition

That Foxtrot girl-lean
FFS

This weeb game is much worse than 40k by far. Just the facts that a single unit can take all the movement is retarded. How the fuck does that translate to real life? Everyone stands around while one guy shoots and moves? Bullshit

More like lean-trot.

...

>How the fuck does that translate to real life?
>40k
kek. Overall, I'd give the post a 5/10. Not gr8 b8, but not bad either.

Speaking of 40k, does anyone know of fan efforts to rebalance the game so it isn't a complete fucking failed abortion? Turning it into a decent game could be a worthy cause, and there are Warhammer fans dedicated and crazy enough to do something like that.

your batifu needs work
>also 40k
this game is both better and cheaper.

New Khawarij box shortly?
From what I can see in this though it isn't all Khawarij. Seems like, from left to right:
Khawarij, Muyib, ???, Khawarij, Al Hawwa(?)

Please be haqqislam starter :D

Would be nice if they had a double/Duo blister with reworked shotgun and chain-rifle extra I suppose.

It should be the new Haqq starter (third oldest after vanilla YJ and Ariadna), although why only 5 sils instead of 6 is the question.

It's a starter, and Khawarijs aren't exactly line troops. Only 5 people in the picture though, which is interesting. Either there's a troop they don't want to reveal for some reason, or the 6th guy is a Tuareg and they're just being clever.

Haqq needs more distinctive silhouettes. The YJ units were easy to identify, but these fuckers could be anyone.

You mean a combi rifle? There's already a chain rifle in the box, 2 would be overdoing it.

Come to think of it, isn't one of the reworked models a shotgun user as it is? But yeah, I guess a rifle model (with mines?) could do as well. No idea if the MR+whatever launcher would see a lot of use though.

Also, that trenchcoated sil could be the Tuareg for all we know.

It's more likely they didn't feel the need to complicate it with a 3rd Ghlam. You can see the two Ghulam sils match the dossier and the Khajit matches the new dossier as well. Only the 3rd and 4th are mysteries.

>isn't one of the reworked models a shotgun user as it is?
Apparently, yes. A rifle blister of some kind is quite likely, then. As it stands none of the new guys have actual rifles.
MULTI rifle+LGL is great. They're a good spec fire platform that cost no SWC, and MULTI rifles are generally fantastic weapons. The nimbus LGL is shit though.

They complicated the YJ one with a third Zhanshi. It's just strange that they didn't include a 6th unit here.

>How the fuck does that translate to real life?
"Cover me, I'm going in!"

Starters usually go with three line troops, one "support", one "skirmisher" and one "heavy hitter".
We know the LI will most likely be Ghulam and there's a Khawarij in there, but I don't know which category it fits in. Tuareg would be a fit for a skirmisher though.

So, 3 Ghulams, Khawarij, Tuareg... Ayyar?

None of these guys scream heavy infantry.

Ayyar is literally heavy infantry.

and he's saying none of them look like HI

Possible, but I doubt a holo2 unit will be featured as a starter set unit. Maybe Asawira? Since the HI unit from the starters tend to be a Lt candidate.

I'd rather see a retread of the old starter. The lack of HI was kinda interesting. Just replace the hunzakut with a taureg.

Oh. That's true, but Ayyar seems to be a pretty lightweight HI. I'm betting the one on the far left is the Khawarij, since it's in exactly the same pose as the dossier. One of them may be a Zhayedan, we've got no idea what they look like so they're a wildcard.

You don't scream reading comprehension.

It would be silly not to use this as an opportunity to redo the Tuareg and Djan.

I love how Haqq is a blatant fantasy of the people of the middle east ever stop killing each other over stupid bullshit.

IIRC, the old/current vanilla Haqq starter included a Janni. Also, the Asawira is a HQ unit, which would be an appropriate counterpart to the Hsien in the new YJ vanilla starter I guess.

Those Kum fellas seem perfectly content to murder fellow Haqqislamites due to 'reasons'.

Is it me, or are us Infinity players becoming a bit snobbish towards other games?

I mean, you'll always hear us going on about how Infinity's models shit on everything else, and how our game is superior to others. Did that stem from anywhere? Or that just us being elitist?

Now they've just switched to killing everybody else over stupid bullshit. One of their sectorials is made up of assassins, and the other is filled to the brim with plausibly deniable assets like pirates and mercenaries. They're about as humanist as PanO is democratic.

That's Veeky Forums community to you.

>That's Veeky Forums community to you.

That's pretty much par for the course, but I've noticed it a bit on the official forums and such, too. It can't be just us faggots, right?

Its nerds in general. Most are pretty shitty people, theyre nerds because no one else will accept them

The forums are pretty cancerous in general. Besides, it's a forum based around one game, if you post regularly on it you probably like it more than other games. Shit talking the competition is a common way of making someone feel better about their favourite product.

what do you hope to be revealed at gencon for your factions lad?

New Thorakitais.

Have you even seen our Warmahordes threads?
This is nothing.

Haqq starter that hopefully is the Al Medinat Caluphate and Khawariji box. So I can pull a Tarik Mansuri and Khawariji link team or Tarik and Khawariji Haris.

Black Friar and SWAST sculpt previews, if not actual models.

concept for Tohaa commandos and the regening officer unit. Maybe a hint of what the theme of what the first sectorial for them will be

Oh yeah that's right they got more weapons

Just played against my friend with the Icestorm box, me panO and him as Nomad. dis shit is fuckin good m8, we are totally hooked

This is the only ghulam dossier I could find, but she matches the gal on the right

And they currently have few sculpts with bad availability.

A Yu Jing vs Haqqislam faction box

If it's another Op:IS style box, then I really look forward to the exclusive minis

Join us user, and then you can also get mad at all the crits.

>he takes out all my guys
>only my orc LT left
>Orc wipes out his entire squad and kills his mobile brigada
>die to Alguacil crits

I'm not even mad, that shit was tense as fuck.

...

Anyone here around Luxembourg who plays the game?

Ded thred ded gaem

Anyways I asked the forums about their ideas for Cetus. Some of mine was a thin chain-like mechanical snake/wurm, or she wields a whip ccw she calls Cetus. What do you guys think?

She's S4 and has Guardian like Voronin, so expect some kind of big beastie. She's also a reference to some space anime that popular in Spain back in the day.

Yep. Andromeda from Knights of the Zodiac/ Saint Seiya. It's why she has shoulder pads and head band/visor.

In the show he uses a swirling chain. So Guardian could be that. However, I think the fluff says Cetus is a pet and and is stored inside her briefcase. So maybe something like Ravage from Transformers

There's a picture like this for YJ as well, so it might be a new 2-player box.

Welcome to Infinity! It's an awesome game with awesome factions.

Also I really hate the S4 silhouette for Guardian models. It's something I think couldve easily been kept at S2 but with an additional miniature accompanying the user like a tinbot. S4 really kills my interest in using Andromeda, so I hope the actually miniature is worth getting.

Same. I got Voronin, but I'm so reluctant to actually use his profile because of this.

At least Voronin is going to be hanging back and hiding. Andromeda is a Forward Deploying Specialist. S4 also means she's too fat to fit into objective rooms

Maybe confirmation what all the sectorials will be in the next book.

marauders 4-man box

Zhanshi or Keisotsu starter. A Haqq vs. YJ starter would be amazing.

>S4 also means she's too fat to fit into objective rooms

It means she has to crawl in but I can forgive that. Navigating a doorway at the same time as a briefcase monster is probably pretty hard compared to just walking through it on your own.

>Maybe confirmation what all the sectorials will be in the next book.

This, more than anything I want to know what sectorials are coming and maybe a rough guideline of what will be in them all.

Something new, not like new models. A different way of playing with what I have, that moves the game towards more narrative style game play.

Also moving the plot forward and destroying Ariadna, fuck that faction. Takes too long to play against.

How about not playing asshole Ariadna players or punch them til they stop being cunts instead of squatting the whole faction doofus?

Just venting m8. They're fine people, just analyze shit too much and take what should be a 40 minute game into a two hour game.

Like Campaign Paradiso?

Like the rpg?

A fucking marauder box

Failing that a fucking wildcat box, but that will never happen because corregidor needs a new starter

A new szalamandra? Would buy

Salty much?

USA Blackjacks and new Haqq starter.

Moblot Box or some chasseur resculpts

>A fucking marauder box
>Or Minutemen
>or Black jacks

Some Chausseurs would be amazing.

I doubt Merovingian will be getting a ton of attention until the lead up to whatever book they're included in, probably the one Acheron Falls. Even if they get some sculpts, what would you put a Moblot box? They've already got 2 rifle sculpts, a panzerfaust sculpt, and a sapper HMG sculpt. All they're missing is a non-sapper HMG.

Chasseurs might be nice. Blots should probably wait until the FRRM gets reworked.

They so need to redo all of the Ariadna Heavy Infantry.

Moblots, Veteran Kazaks in particular need some love. Line Kazaks as well if possible.

wouldn't mind seeing the non sapper HMG, but really we only have access to a rifle and a panzerfaust, as the other rifle moblot is locked up in the starter set. and besides, nearly all the models in the FRRM are woefully outdated. Not as bad as the line kazacks, but still.

CB is doing 1 new sectorial per faction next book, and looking at all ariadna releases (excluding USARF) it's probably the kazaks.

Fucking Marauders, Mavericks, and Minutemen should have been released a long time ago. USARF still doesnt have a single support weapon besides the Grunts. Just disappointing.

more fucking PanO

i want resculpted Kamau, or a new fucking support team

Gotta agree there, after the shitty marine (arm swap?? Fucking really??) And foxtrot we could really use a release that isn't absolute crap

Yesterday played my first N3 game. My local group has been pretty inactive for quite some time. Though we did keep on playing for a year or so after N3 was released. I had fun and so did my friend. Both felt like the game has become better, though it`ll take some time to learn. Most likely we`re going to be playing more often in the future

>tl;dr: 1st game of N3, the game feels better than before

The game is better then before

Hi, newfag here. I've been scooping Infinity since I saw the models the first time, looks cheap enough, fun to play and even more important balanced or at least rewarding in terms of gameplay. Only problem my LGS is owned by a former fanatical GW employ and all the local players are a bunch of 40k or x-wing spike players who wont leave home without their strenght D weapons or spam lists.
What arguments could I bring in to convince the shopkeeper (and therefore the playerbase) that this game is worth investing and playing?

So far the few answers I got have been "nooo, those miniatures are too tall looking" or even better "it wont sell enough to be a worth addiction to the shop (while age of sigmar boxes are still all there on the shelves, go figure..)

Am I just doomed not to play it or to gift half of the starter box to some friend and play only at home? Opinions?

>What arguments could I bring in to convince the shopkeeper (and therefore the playerbase) that this game is worth investing and playing?

That the game is balanced pretty well and thus everything should sell. Local Infinity vendor usually has to restock nearly everything with every shipment.

And you could try to scope out if there is a competitive scene nearby. CB is pushing ITS pretty hard.

Also if the guys sells terrain as well, that's a lot of stuff to sell to potential customers, since Infinity uses a lot of it.

I think that getting Icestorm and demoing the game to a few people, including the shopkeep, could be the best idea.

I mean people are irrational so it might be hard to actually convince them of anything. OP: Icestorm is probably the place to start in both introducing others into the system, as well as getting the shop keep to stock it. Just let him start off easy. Build a playerbase, then see if he'll stock more.

Figure out the basic rules on your own then try to get some folks to play a game or two. Eventually one of them will probably crack and give it a try and, EI willing, have fun. I think one of the biggest selling points of Infinity for me is that if you can imagine a soldier doing it (and they have the requisite skills/equipment), you can do it.

>nooo, those miniatures are too tall looking

??? 40K is heroic scale so this is a bizarre complaint. "The minis are too tall!" but they'll play with Knights, Stormsurges, and aircraft? Get the fuck out of here. But the persuasive route there is probably explaining that that's a good thing when there's only 10-15 people per side - keeps the action cleaner and makes for prettier battles.

What the hell is that.

>??? 40K is heroic scale so this is a bizarre complaint. "The minis are too tall!" but they'll play with Knights, Stormsurges, and aircraft? Get the fuck out of here.

I know right? I do understand that the average female miniature in infinity has the body of a supermodel with long legs, ass and high heels, and all of seems odd, but in perspective it looks cool. Way cooler than "how cool" can the squat pose space marines with big heads in GW plastic range even look.

>Also if the guys sells terrain as well, that's a lot of stuff to sell to potential customers, since Infinity uses a lot of it.

To be honest, when we were playing historicals it was his own idea and yet I had to take the initiative, create and gift the shop with some low cost scenic made by me, or else we would still use some fucking Gw piece to decorate those tables as well.

>I think that getting Icestorm and demoing the game to a few people, including the shopkeep, could be the best idea.

I suppose I will, assuming I am allowed to. I think the player base kinda "smells" the stink of a dying 40k and Gw, even with all the precautions they are taking lately, but are too afraid the leave the old way for the new.

Talk about the starter boxes being super convenient, as well as the all in one packs with terrain, dice, rules, etc. The average figure count is low, as is the per army price, and the rules are free, so the barriers to entry are very low.

The game's quick, brilliantly balanced for the competitive players, and the sculpts speak for themselves. The range isn't that large in terms of required shelf space, either, so unless you're really operating out of a shoebox, you should be able to stock most of it pretty easily.

Demo games, or if you're really fortunate, a small event, would help a lot as well. I had to do the same thing to get Infinity going down here. If they see people playing it week after week, and see the excellent figures (for the love of god, paint your as nicely as you can), and learn about how cheap it is compared to GW stuff, they'll have to sit up and take notice.

>(for the love of god, paint your as nicely as you can)

pic related are two of the ones I own already (I like UsAriadna) for those interest in the color schemes, go check on google "the art of dead space 3" as the colors of the old SCAF uniforms should be good alternatives to the standard ariadna color scheme.

Could use some more highlighting (though maybe it's the camera blending colours too much), but not bad at all.
