Infinity: Defiance & Beyond
11. Seed Soldiers
The Seed Soldiers, the basic troop unit of the Shasvastii. The Shasvastii as a race do not typically engage in full frontal, all out assault to achieve their goals and favour stealth and surprise, their aim is to have full control of a battlefield before the fighting ever starts; by the time the fighting actually starts, the invasion is already well under way. Seed Soldiers are the way they achieve this, with thousands of “seeds” (capsules containing a single shasvastii warrior) being distributed and hidden, often buried, in an around target objectives and potential battlefields. The seed capsule provides constant tactical updates to the waiting soldier until eventually they are given the order to attack. Their appearance in a battle is usually used to effect an immediate change to the tactical situation in a battle by drawing the enemy into a desired position and then opening up new fronts to force an opponent to split their forces or even surround them.
These are the last of what might be considered “troops” that have for the Shasvastii. I think I have something like 10 miniatures left in total, but they’re all individuals and characters now. This means the rate at which things get painted is likely to drop a little, because I can’t really batch paint them and I am likely to put a bit more time and effort into them. However it feels like I am getting toward the end of them and when they’re done I will have quite a sizable force for Infinity as well
