INFINITY Week 2013: Designing Haqqislam
July 4, 2013 by anateus
Now we're having a look at the design of the Haqqislam faction of Infinity, with yet more amazing art work that unfortunately didn't make it into the book (but we get to bring it to you guys anyway!). What does it take to become a member of Saladin's great army in Infinity?
If you missed the faction video from Infinity Week 2012 here is the link:
The only problem I have with these videos is that they’re making me want ALL the CB armies, now. The lot of them. I can hear my credit card vibrating from here!!
I’m totally agree. So much cool minis, so little time…
I swear my credit card company just yelled Yippee!
yay infinity, yay prizes
Haqqislam manages to have some of the most gorgeous sculpts of the entire game. Just look at the Asawira, Saladin or the Hassassin Lasiq.
And they have Chun Li. ^^
I would like to enter to win and finally see what all the hubbub is about.
Totally biased but Haqq have the best mini’s. Concepts look great and so do the minatures. I would argue that it’s not the Al Hawwa mask, but the style of it that puts me off alittle. Concept is cool, but how it is painted officially on the mini makes the poor girl look like she has a fu man chu mostache. Seeing the coloured version of the concept art gives me some ideas how to paint this much used miniature.
Love their light infantry.
Not a faction I’ve ever played or played against but fantastic paint jobs
Really enjoying having CB’s insight with these videos.
How great they are !!! O_O
Should have a second look on them …
I Love the AK-47 look alike guns. Don’t like the whole assassins stuff.
Do you mean you don’t like the miniatures or the concept? I think the idea of a shadowy spy-master figure (the ‘old man in the mountain’) who knows everything, even what the aliens are doing, and then sends the most skillful assassins imaginable to take out people who are a negative force really cool..
Miniatures are bloody great as well..
Convert for healthcare!
But really, Haqqislam is a really interesting faction. Infinity actually goes into some depth with what happens to organized religion in the future, which for most sci fi is a commonly ignored concept. The Hassassin is also a really cool anachronism with a sci fi flavor and gorgeous models. Probably going to make them my second army.
More incredible miniatures. I have a feeling that I’ll be adding more Haqqislam miniatures to my collection in the future and make them my 4th faction. Although I at least have a headstart on parts of a QK army with my mercenaries and Nomads.
Haqq, my love!
More great miniatures. My favourites are the hassassin sectoral. I seriously have an at or two picked out for every single army…
haqqislam isn’t like very much but i love the qaphu qalqui sectorial, because is a mercenaria army whit a ot of options XD.
simple amazing models
Looks like most realistic minies/rules of all the wargames. And the story behind the game – as wel
Yes, Haqqislam! Awesome art work.
I love Haqqislam for the same reason I love Ariadna – they have a similar low tech look, but with Haqqislam looking the more advanced of the two. And I hope we see a boxed set of the Sekban’s at some point because I loved the mini they already released. I use him as a character in one of my roleplaying games.
*watches video* Oh! Okay, so there will be a boxed set of those guys. Sweet!
Ariadna and Haqqislam are factions with models that I like least and still I like most of them. CB is doing great job and great models.
Really lovely stuff. Almost tempted to pick the artbook 😀
Awesome models. Wish they’d include the weapon loadouts as in the pictures 🙂
Haqqislam minis look like they might come alive any second.
