Meet Corvus Belli’s Soldiers Of Fortune, The First Aristeia! Expansion
November 7, 2017 by brennon
With Aristeia! now available for Pre-Order from Corvus Belli they are looking ahead to the first expansion for the game, the Soldiers Of Fortune.
The new set of warriors who are going to be competing in the arena break down into four awesome new characters. We kick off with Hannibal..
"Hannibal, the cunning mercenary leader, has assembled an elite team to participate in the most spectacular and, above all, profitable show in the Human Sphere. With his unparalleled ability to control the tactical situation in the HexaDome, he’ll be able to adapt and rise victorious against any enemy."
He is then protected by the mighty warrior woman known as Valkyrie.
"Valkyrie, Hannibal’s impressive bodyguard, has proved herself more than capable to face HexaDome veterans the size of Maximus. Her terrifying battle cry can freeze the bravest hearts, and no one is safe when she wields her halberd."
While I quite like the guard-stance she's in from her artwork I think that the model being in the middle of swinging that brutal halberd makes a lot more sense for the chaotic action of Aristiea!
We then move onto Laxmee who will be acting a little as your support character on the tabletop.
"Laxmee, the unpredictable Masai hacker, will show new ways to use combat protocols with her military grade hacker device. Summoning programs like Masai Labions summon the rain, she can both help her teammates or hinder her opponents."
Her model also looks rather neat and would be great to see properly painted up in those purples and blues.
Last but not least we have the man with possibly the coolest name ever...Senor Massacre.
"Señor Massacre, the incorrigible masked luchador, has overflown all audiometers with his irreverent loquacity and his spectacular fighting style. His enemies learn the bad way that his tongue is sharper than his katanas."
The introduction of these characters also throws into the mix some new game states including Stunned which takes away from your rolls and Focused which helps you boost your rolls.
Watch for these Soldiers Of Fortune coming in February 2018.

Really been drawn into this one from game play videos, seems a good expansion packaging. Mix of characters is not always to my taste, but minis are nice.
Those are very nice.
Senor Massacre = Deadpool
And I take it Hannibal likes when “…a plan comes together.”
its a really good first expansion and will make team composition more interesting, remember that you can and should mix and match to make your team of 4 Aristos, you are not restricted to the suggested teams.
I know nothing about this game. Has BOW done any video’s about this? The mini’s look interesting but I’d be interesting in learning more about this game and line of miniatures.
Here’s a link to a “Let’s Play” video by Ash Barker:

Great video got my interest
Hmmm, is it just me or are this guys all knock offs/spoofs of other fictional mercs with possible exception of the hacker chick. (A team, that 70’s-80’s Sci-Fi retellling of the seven samurai, That marvel character except Latino).
Well Infinity always had a bunch of characters that were inspired by comic book/ movie/ or real life people, so nothing new here.
Though I only know Hannibal and Deadpool in this box.
Corvus Belli are really putting their A team on this game! 🙂
cant wait to see these painted up in true Angel Giraldez style.
Senor Massacre being the first model with a 2 power point attack… meaning multiple attacks in a turn… brutal… My spanish isn’t good enough to know how Valkarie is going to work.. lol… I played this with my local WarCor and it was great! Already pre-ordered starter and really looking forward to this expansion as it will mean a lot more variety in peoples’ starting 4 models just at about the point that people are getting a bit used to using the first 8 in the starter =p The plastic models also were pretty good.. the metal figures are better… Read more »
Not liking the look of these minis much, atleast not compared to infinitys. Have to check a vid or two out for a closer look.
This expansion looks awesome! So many great combinations
