Definately going to split this box with my Yu Jing playing buddy. Love the Haqqislam minis, eventhough I had never considered them previously.
Yeah I don’t even own Haq but I want this and the gen con ones
I got into this game with Operation Icestorm, largely because of the coverage on BoW. It blew my mind and since then I have been taken on a Hobby journey like no other. The miniature painting, terrain building and obviously the game itself is, what I believe, the best possible war-games experience out there.
And now you release this! Corvus Belli you are smashing it!!!
Even the paper terrain in this set is amazing.
I want this box. The minis are awesome.
Does Red Veil replace Ice Storm, or will they both be good starters?
I’ve not been able to watch the video above with sound yet sadly, but I’ve not seen it written anywhere that Red Veil is going to replace Ice Storm; most likely, it is merely an alternative. Ice Storm is still an excellent boxed set tbh. If someone were unsure of which one to get with no preference of starting faction, my gut reaction would be to say that Red Veil has most likely benefited from CB’s increased experience in model design since Ice Storm’s release and then leave the decision up to that person. The only negative I can think… Read more »
This set does not replace Icestorm in that Icestorm will still be available to buy, there’s even an advert for Operation Icestorm in the back on the Red Veil booklet.
As for which one to get it depends on which factions you would like to play, PanO & Nomads or Haqqislam & Yu-Jing
And at the moment the preorder promo figure is also very tempting 🙂
they may choose to phase out Ice Storm at some point. don’t worry though, it will just make room for more awesomeness.
Ice storm is/was such an awesome box, but I never got it as swore not to get into another system. I’ve cracked slightly since then and bought a Bakunin starter box…let’s see how long I can last with all these new goodies coming out!
This set looks awesome!
I can’t resist Infinity any longer, will be getting Red Veil as my starting point!
…how have you resisted this long?
(1) not enough money
(2) too much stuff to play already
(3) no local shops
(4) a significant other that thinks this obsession with metal bits is crazy
etc.
I’ve avoided it because none of the factions clicked with me design wise. There have been individual ones I like such as Rao (who looks scarily like me but with a smaller nose), the Muyibs, and the Uhlans for example, but none of the factions had enough to make me take the plunge.
That all changes with the new Yu Jing starter set. The zhangshis, the hsien, the tiger soldiers, there’s nothing about the box I don’t love. I’m just going to have to pick up a copy.
I’m liking the evolution of the carboard terrain.
You don’t see this with many other games.
Well this got me salivating as a Haqq player. Now all I have to do is find the funds and someone to split the deal with. Damn you CB 😛
Got into the Game with a fried a bit before Operation Icestorm. Since then i bought all the big boxes … and this one i’ll get too. My friend asked if we could split the Box (he plays Haqqislam) but i had to tell him: “No! They are all mine. MINE!!!!”
Well it seems not to far in the future only Aleph and Tohaa will be missing from my collection *sigh*
I struggle to see Tohaa making it into one of these 2 player boxed sets, most because of their unique rules (eg: Triad fireteam) not being great for an introductory product.
I expect when standard Aleph get an updated redesign, you’ll see them paired with standard Ariadna (who probably need an updated redesign as well).
Hehe i think the same … i could imagine Tohaa maybe as a single-Faction Box like USAriadna or the Onyxs Contact Force.
But my wallet will be happy if both Aleph and Tohaa wait a lot longer till they get any kind of those boxes 😉
I really just can’t resist those boxed Sets, be they Startersets like Icestorm or Red Veil, or the single Faction-Ones. They just call out to the collector in me … curse him ^^
I learned about BoW from the CB-forum and the Flamestrike-Campaign. Cool stuff. And a very nice new box. Shining new minis. 🙂
Interesting to hear about someone coming the other way when most people hear about BoW before the games (other than Games Workshop that is).
May come from being german, so i usally read german tabletop news sites. Icestorm sparked the interest for Infinity in our club again and so did i came to it. And with a new game system comes a new forum and all the supporting sites: news, wiki, and in this case BoW 🙂
This is really awesome, and I haven’t even gone through my O:IS minis yet!
Just in time for a late birthday gift to me
This looks awesome. CB just keep on giving!
Just started with icestrom. The miniature are so cool, I decided to paint again with very high standard. So nice. Never felt this before. The fire of passion burns again .thank you CB.
Awesome box i like the new terrain.
The Yuan Yuan is just great!
Man. Infinity Kicks Butt. This new starter set looks so epic. Auto Prepurchase!
Really breathtaking miniatures. Just a small group of us starting to try and build up infinity and ITS here in Korea. This box would definitely help us get things moving along faster!
i’m so excited I just can’t contain it. dance mode do do do do do do do do can’t touch this.
aleph vs combined for the next one please 🙂
Will the Scenery pack be available separately?
I would think so both the Icestorm and the USAridna scenery packs are sold seperately.
And so it begins. ….
We need new Scots.. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Love the look of the new models, and that you can get Miyamoto Mushashi as a preorder
I am sold 🙂
