Infinity Release Poster Girls, Tech Wizards, & Fullmetal Kozmo
April 24, 2019 by brennon
Corvus Belli has revealed the new releases which are coming to tabletops in May for both Infinity and Aristeia! We kick things off with the newest Dire Foes Pack, Nocturne.
This set gives you another pair of characters who are clashing on the tabletop, a poor civilian who is caught up in the middle of it all and a scenario to play out as well. I really like what Corvus Belli do when they get stuck into these Dire Foes packs, offering up a narrative approach to a game which is still very much has the feel of a role-playing skirmish game.
Poster Girl
Next up we're looking to the Patsy Garnett Orc Troops Varuna Div NCO. She is effectively a poster girl for the forces of Panoceania.
I think there is potentially a lot more detail going into these sculpts, pushing forward the new sculpting techniques they have been using to allow you to pull out additional armour features and facial details. You can see it on the Dire Foes pack as well when you look at those stunning characters.
Big Guns
Next up we're looking at the Zhayedan Intervention Troops also known as The Immortals. These fellows are seasoned soldiers, grizzled and gritty, hard to take down and experts with all sorts of weapons.
I really like the look of these soldiers and I think the masks really work here too. It gives them a fearsome look which is key to the character of this unit.
Tech Wizard
Up next we're looking at the Zhencha, Armored Reconnaissance Regiment which can be dropped into the mix too. I really like the Hackers that Corvus Belli make for use in Infinity as it always pushes that Cyberpunk button.
The pose here is great too, a relaxed one as they casually hack into some system or other, turning base defences on their enemies perhaps! He is also packing a shotgun though for good measure.
Scheming Snipers
Lastly, we're looking to some long range kills with the Taagma Schemers.
This band of soldiers keep the Triumvirate's rules in check. They are deployed when someone crosses one of their red lines and needs to be put down. Order is a precious thing and they don't want anyone messing around with that!
Fullmetal Kozmo
As well as the releases for Infinity, Corvus Belli also added a new character skin into the mix for Aristeia! Check out the finished work on Fullmetal Kozmo by Angel Giraldez.
This is a very cool new sculpt that really shows off the fun that Corvus Belli can have with the Aristeia! line-up. I like that we're seeing more Fantasy-style figures making it into the mix, giving you a way to produce an Aristeia! team which is different from everyone else.

Love the Infinity universe, shame Corvus Belli don’t make an appearance at UKGE.
I love the Dire Foes packs. Something I have always wanted to try is playing infinity but writing some rules for civilians to make it more complicated. I love how infinity isn’t really set in warzones, it’s set in urban and corporate zones where hi-tech spec-ops teams are likely sneaking around to either steal something or someone – maybe even kill someone. There’s two things that make such battlezones much more believable; 1) Civilian Vehicles 2) Civilians The former is easy as they’re just terrain peices and need to real special rules. However it always gets me how, even with… Read more »
Those are stunning as can be expected from CB.
That might cost me a pretty penny … have to get them all
Nice looking figure’s.
Zhencha hackers is the best.
