The first couple of games are underway and with the quick nature of Infinity there has been a chance to try out a few different tactics over two or three games with their basic infantry.

One of our most interesting boards (we think) is the Haqqislam City Board and we're loving the set up with this Palace sitting among the slums of this sandy desert world...

We dive into another Terrain Tips Video where we talk about this impressive looking Industrial Complex and chat with Barry about his experiences with it so far too.

Infinity Boot Camp Update: Talking Acontecimento
We catch up with Paddy and chat about all things Acontecimento. Have his tactics worked out well?
Ariadna Vs Acontecimento - Industrial Complex
The two sides clash in the Industrial Complex and there's much dodging and skipping between cover. There are some hesitant moves between the big names while one soldier watches from atop the gangways...
Infinity Boot Camp Update: Talking Japanese Sectorial
The deadly Japanese Sectorial are the next faction to go under the spotlight as we discuss some of their tactics with Gerry who has been loving how they work on the tabletop.
Infinity Boot Camp Update: Talking Yu Jing
We talk about Yu Jing with Killian and Matt. I wonder how things are going for this awesome looking faction?
Getting Down To The Table!
The big games are getting going and there have already been a few surprises. It always helps to get down to a models eye view too we think...
Full Factions Hit The Table - It's Time For The Big(ish) Boys!
Folks are playing their big games now with a full Starter Box and loads of new special rules. With that in mind we get back to Killian to find out what's changed and what these soldiers can do.
"I Realised I Could See His Legs Under There...Damn, I Shouldn't Have Told My Opponent That!"
No CommentsSome Epic Clashes On The Tabletop
Carlos and Killian have been going round helping folks with their games. They've also dropped in on some cool moments.
Some big close combats, deadly shots as people dart around cover and plenty of times where a trooper wishes they'd stayed in cover.
One pair of troopers even berserked into each other and ended up killing each other in a Samurai fueled rage. It was quite the sight.
Blast From The Past: Who Are The Combined?
We get into the nitty gritty surrounding the Combined Army, one of the rather cool looking factions in the game packed with alien life.
Are these your faction of choice?
TAG Arena Rules Rundown!

"The TAG Deathmatch? Think Old School DOOM On The Computer!"

Early Close Combat In The TAG Arena
A Clash Of Steel - AROs All Over The Place
Some early close combat, plenty of shooting and re-spawning and a whole bunch of sniping as people dive for cover.
Infinity Boot Camp TAG Arena - Warren Enters The Fray
More TAG Butchery
Close Combat seems to be the safe bet although a fair few TAGs have done down to a plethora of AROs.
Justin might say different as he keeps getting smacked around!
Turn One Of The TAG Arena Is Over - Here's What Happened
We Have Guns?!?
Honestly these TAGs don't seem to care that they have guns. So many of them have just jumped into close combat!
Infinity Boot Camp TAG Arena - We Have A Winner - Wow That Was Fast!
It's Food Time!
After a Deathmatch it's probably a good idea to get some grub. So, we have Chicken Curry!!!
Happy Saturday! boot campers!
I cannot believe, I’m the first one 😉
Day of painting and watching boot camp updates !! Can’t wait to see how everyone gets on. Enjoy Guys
Have fun guys
In a way I am glad I am not there as I would be spending way too much time begging Carlos to start selling their 15mm historical again
I would be spending way too much money. I’m trying to contain myself even if I’m not there.
I spent most time trying not to get a disapproving look from him when I used my faction incredibly badly despite his constant explanation of how it should be used…..
Wish there would be more nomads!^^
can’t wait to see the “not so secret” Goodies!^^
Do you know something I don’t? why are the secret goodies in ” ? Or are you talking about the TAGs?
The prizes were announced earlier never before released models.
I think will be really cool, if you guys create a chat room for the boot camp, so we can ask Carlos and you guys questions every now and then. it will make the boot camp more interactive
An a live stream of the games being played. Maybe next time?
Thanks for the coverage again guys, keeping those of us who have to work entertained throughout the day!
It’s like one big long Weekender.
seems quiet today maybe its the sunshine!? Or people like me struggling to suppress their jealousy.
…or crappy internet through tv where I am!
they are working on the net around Scotland so couldn’t even post on Saturday kept crashing so that may be the problem in other areas some nice games played at the studio.
Got woken up by the kids at 6 this morning so after finishing yesterday’s videos I’ve been sitting waiting patiently for more to appear, didn’t spot that there was a whole post for Saturday which makes me feel foolish. Anyway, looking good I may have to consider trying to get a pass from the wife for one of these bootcamp things.
Too bad I’m all the way in the Netherlands but I would LOVE to attend one of these one day. Especially another Infinity one.
Have fun guys 🙂 and Happy Saturday 🙂
Im going to enjoy my day off today, ill be mostly sitting about in my pants watching the updates, Life is good
Would have really loved to be there, but dam thesis writing (shakes fists at monitor that appears to be taunting him with text). The boards are looking great, you guys put a huge amount of work in and it is really appreciated
Happy Saturday Boot-campers!
Looking forward to the TAG-arena battle later today.
Always so impressed with the terrain. You can tell how much effort has gone into those tables! Amazing effort!!
Alright Day 2! Let’s do this! Wooot!
Arms at the ready!
Have fun!
Looks amazing, have a great time guys!
Happy infinity day 🙂
Looking forward to today’s coverage.
Seems like a blast, wish we had events like that in my area
Yeah me too. Undertaking a trip to Ireland and attending a bootcamp is a bit too expensive for me at the moment.
Just watched yesterdays clips. Love the enthousiasm of Carlos.
Really wish i could have made it, the updates are great and just make me want to start painting up my Kum Riders force
I was planning on painting my haqqislam faction starter during the bootcamp but other work (editing a wedding video for friends) took up all of my painting time.
Giving me push to finish painting my infinity minis x
tis a glorious day the sun i out the patio doors are wide open and armed with a cup of tea its boot camp, all i need for a perfect day is Amanda Tapping covered in chocolate sauce giving me a knowing smile…………..without that it will have to Lloyd and Warren MINUS any chocolate and smiles…….phfew that was close just had a shudder imagining warren his relentless and a jar of nutella…
That warehouse table looks amazing. I wonder how many sets of catwalks it took to make it…
Every table looks amazing 🙂
Looking good, very jealous
I love the miniatures! Wish you all a fantastic weekend. Hoped that i could be with you.
