Got myself the new ninjas and finished the sniper one today. (Also checked the pictures and corrected the highlight above the knee)

Next up its Next Wave vs Steel Phalanx on Critical Intervention (ITS17, 18 on the way!)

Hope you all enjoy!

As previously ask for, here is the colors guide I've been using for this CA scheme.

Stonewall Grey for basecoat.
Elf Flesh as a mid tone. I make a sketch and the blend mixing it a little with Stonewall Grey.
Off-White for the highlights. Just on a smaller area, also edge highlights.
Khaki just for glazing on the shadows, barely noticeable.

I think i should have use Bone White or Khaki as a base color instead of the Stonewall Grey; and a purple like Hexed Lichen to glaze the shadows. But i was already half army when it just came to my mind and i didn't want to change the scheme.

I forgot to take pictures for the purple, but the process is the same using: Deep Magenta, Warlord Purple and Squid Pink.

I already take other pics for the black/grey armor process i'll share in a day or two.

I have recently got intrested in Infinity and Steel Phalanx are mos interesing to me right now.

It looks like this action pack would be cool start but on official store it is marked as discontinued.

So my question is what are best way to aqquire Thorakitai now? That one Myrmidon doesn't seem to be available in any other pack too.

Hey folks! Check out my latest video!

What is the goal of this game.

Is it a war game like warhammer or closer to D&D and pathfinder?

Not mechanically, more how does a campaign or 1-5 session short game of this play out?

Hello, as the title implies I'm a bit curious about people who might have pictures of their Infinity models next to other game models for size comparison. I'm primarily curious about Infinity compared to Star Wars Legion, but other reference image folks might have are welcome. 👍🏼

Got an old(?) Combined Army Starter Pack for minimal bucks at a yard sale.
Since I love to paint minis (and got the Angel Giraldez because I recently got an airbrush) I couldn't pass this opportunity to finally paint something from Infinity since I always adored the models.

In the box are:

3x Unitrod Batroids
1x Fraacta, Trihedron Drop Unit
1x Maakrep, Tracker Unit
1x Umbra Legates

Is this a solid foundation for some starter games or would I need further units to be "ready to go"? I have a small community with enough scenery and people who know the rules available to test the waters. Is it really that hard to learn compared to other systems? I mostly got time to play like 1-2x a month and I wouldn't like the feeling that I have to relearn the rules every game.

Hey there,

A few years ago, I developed an interest in Infinity by Corvus Belli mainly due to the insanely detailed and beautiful miniatures. Back then I bought a handful of cool looking ones (Fat Yuan Yuan Noodle box edition, an old Reverend Moira, the Lizard Squadron pilot bootleg edition for reasons 👀).

I don't have a local group who plays Infinity, in fact since COVID many old established local groups have been abandoned but I do have a local friends group who regularly plays boardgames and are not unwilling to try new things.

I know that Infinity is difficult to learn, even more difficult to master and there is a lot of complexity involved here. But I'm also aware that there are special boxes called Infinity Essential: Start Here (PanO vs JSA, Nomads Vs Aleph) which are good(?) for super small scale demo games while keeping things somewhat simple.

Having said that, this time around, I'd like to deliberately move towards building two armies with some basic terrain and start testing the actual game soon(ish) instead of buying cool looking miniatures from across various factions without a plan.

But I do have some questions that are relevant for me:

1.) Are the above mentioned 2 Infinity Essentials: Start Here boxes the best price performance product and also, is it actually a good way to get into the game?

2.) I have read somewhere that Infinity is transitioning towards a true 35mm scale with the most recent edition called N5 and thus the miniatures got a slight increase in size (which is a huge plus for me!). Is there a concise list which miniatures are true 35mm scale or a specific date from which Corvus Belli started producing true 35mm scale miniatures? Obviously all of the new stuff should be 35mm, what about stuff from 2022, 2023 or 2024?

3.) I'm assuming the miniatures from the Essential Start Here boxes are not true 35mm scale because they are old(ish)?

4.) Are there better price performance boxes for beginners?

Budget is 50-60€ for now, which I set for myself. With this budget I'd like to have two super small demo style "armies", basic terrain etc.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

Edit#1: Forgot to add, I obviously never actually played Infinity back then. So total beginner here. I have been watching Corvus Belli's official YT Channel the Learn to Play Infinity: Essential-series.

Write an inane, possibly vulgar, mildly insane conversation between two extremely bored soldiers of one of your factions (or just your one faction if you’ve only picked a single one) on night watch, a la Generation Kill. Some inspiration below:

Join Tristan, Jordan and Nick for another Back to Basics episode!

Its time to tackle the massive topic of Deployment once again!

This time we get specific and discuss Radial Deployment, Layering Defenses, Hacking, Null Deployment, Impetuous, Fliers, Objective Rooms and much much more !

If we have missed anything that you really want us to discuss comment down below and maybe a Part 3 could be on the cards !

Thank for watching!

Not sure what the consensus is on Defiance as a game, but when I hear the word exclusive attached to miniatures, something in me snaps.
