Corvus Belli’s INFINITY: March 2017 Releases
February 20, 2017 by crew
This month the guys at Corvus Belli are gearing up for another awesome schedule of releases for the world of Infinity!
Tech Bee & Crabbot Ancillary Remote Unit
Leading the way we have these new units for PanOceania. This maintenance and repair battalion serve in the rear guard and help keep your systems going. As they say in all the propaganda the Tech bees are a real morale booster for PanOceania Troops!
Sukeul Commandos
Armed with a K1 Combie Rifle these new warriors for Tohaa live by the rule of old soldiers never die. These warriors are formed from...well, dead soldiers! These veteran operatives were past fatalities whose skills were too precious to lose.
Now they fight on for the Trident High Command and use their command experience on the tabletop even in death. It seems like there is no rest for the wicked.
Hassassin Govads
Rocking out with a HMG for Haqqislam we have a very different type of warrior. This covert ops group go undercover to investigate potential threats to the nation. Classified at the highest level they operate off the grid so seeing them in action is quite something.
Completely unbeknown even to other Hassassins, Govads were in operation well before the first public appearance of a Fiday, doing the dirty work of the Hachib as commanded by the Old Man of the Mountain. Until they were given their final orders.
Moderators From Bakunin
We got a look at these Nomad warriors last week and now this tactical law enforcement unit has taken to the battlefield for the Bakunin Jurisdictional Command. They have the authority to take on military security missions, defensive combat operations and counter-terrorism actions.
Yu Jing Starter Pack
A new Yu Jing Starter Pack is also up for grabs containing six miniatures. This re-packs what you get from Operation: Red Veil. Inside you get three Zhansis, one Hsien Warrior with HMG, one Tiger Solder with Assault Hacker Device and one Zuyon Invincible Terra-Cotta Soldier with a MULTI Rifle to round things off.
Are you going to be snapping up this new bundle of goodies?
Which Infinity Release is your favourite?
That tech bee. Who says women can’t be engineers eh?
Cool bot. Tech Bee however has a really awkward pose.
Sorry, the tech bee is a step backwards for me in terms of what CB release with regards to how they come up with female figures. I thought / hoped that kind of model would have remained in the bootleg section of Infinity, but they now all seem to be creeping their way into the main game due to the Tagline rules. There is no reason for that attire; my hope (I’m not holding my breath), is that we get another Techbee that remembered to put on her pants further down the line. The real shame is that I’d love… Read more »
This reminds me a bit of the Nazarova twins – the problem is more the paint job than the model. You could easily paint the entire leg blue and voila, she’s wearing pantys
Or CB could just sculpt a character with pants / appropriate clothing (although it’ll be interesting if someone is able to come up with a paint scheme that lets me forget this official one)? The Nazarova twins; I had a problem with the paint job there as well, but we are ultimately talking about 2 “biker” girls, so their attire isn’t out of character. Here? This is a PanO engineer; there isn’t a reasonable explanation for her clothing. As I said, this model should have been part of the bootleg range, and we should have gotten something else. Also, opinions… Read more »
I think it’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen (especially the robotic arm!)
I guess you could paint her with some (tight) pants
I was thinking the same. Paint the whole area blue and nobody would ever know any different
There still would be that *ahem* tactical advantage *ahem*.
I’m not sure how you’d “fix” that bit.
Why on earth would you want to fix a tactical advantage? Surely you want her to keep her tactical advantage?
Awesome moderators! I really liked the Tech-Bee as a Bootleg piece but even though I’m all for sexy female minis the Tech-Bee is a bit too much for my taste. Luckily I play with the Morat master race so we don’t have any weedy earthlings 😉
Agree with the comments on the Bee.
Corvus Belli has always managed to sneak a bit of breast or leg onto the models. And that’s quite fine by me.
But this time… I kinda wonder why anyone would go to war in their underwear.
It’s not a bad model as such. It’s just too much for a wargame.
Maybe if more people went to war in underwear there would be less of it.
Certainly more of a ‘make love not war’ vibe here… Makes my Kingdom Death: Monster miniatures feel overdressed. 😀
Although lots of those are actually naked, and a certain amount of sexual depravity going on with some of that stuff?
This is not even in the same ball park.
The Tech Bee really needs some more clothes, but what really gets me is that with an arm like that she would be off balance all the time. The other models look cool.
I like the tech bee. good shoulder width to height ratio, limb length well proportioned relative to the previous. the rear arm is good but she could have had a bit of twist in the torso to bring the dynamism in the movement out, great hair though. she seems pretty close to the bootleg so good job there. that mech arm probably has stabilisers of some sort.
the bot is pretty epic.
sukeul is super cool, love this mini.
not so hot on haqq but the mini is solid.
In answer to the question at the end of the thread, would have to go with the Yu Jing starter. Think those guys represent the biggest step-up in comparison to the previous miniatures, they’re gorgeous.
If only their minis weren’t metal ones
