Infinity Defiance Comes To Kickstarter
Carlos from Corvus Belli has been with us in the studio this week, filming all matter of content with their newest release of Infinity Defiance. This newest announcement is the perfect mix of Infinity background whether you're a newcomer or established veteran to the game.
By commenting on this video you're also in with a chance to win Infinity Operation Wildfire courtesty of Corvus Belli.
A Star Wars Hobby Weekend
With the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming in December we thought it would be poignant to schedule a hobby weekend on the Friday 13th of December to commerate the end of an amazing journey we've all experienced, together.
Join us in the Cult of Games over OnTableTop for the first grabs of our event tickets where you can visit us at the OnTableTop studios, hobby with us, game with us and discuss the ups and downs of this great galaxy of movies we've consumed over the years.
Also, what would be the next Death Star?
Obsidian Protocol; What's In The Box?
Justin and Gerry take a moment out of the Weekender set to open up the Sci-Fi giant that is Obsidian Protocol, a Mecha Miniature Wargame set in the near future.
Take on your friends and foes across the tabletop with fully customisable, powerful Mechs with an innovative modular upgrade system to create your own personal, powerful Mechs.
Kickstarters!
We have three extra kickstarters to look through this week:

Finally some Infinity and Operation Wildfire Goodness. Really enjoy hearing Carlos talk about Infinity, you can tell he really loves this game he’s helped bring into this world. Always a good time when Carlos in is the OTT studio.
***Star Wars: Legion Hobby Weekend*** I can’t wait. Sadly I can’t make it in person, but I’ll snag a digital ticket!
Happy Weekend!!!
An absolutely packed Saturday with no time for hobby, has just suddenly opened up and now I have the entire day to do as I please!!!!
May you all have such great luck in the days ahead! 🙂
Im chomping at the bit for the rest of the Primaris stuff to release. Bummed the Bandai dude will be so pricey.
Can ya invite Nik lloyd (lindybeige youtube) to play FoW with the crew, would like to hear Gerry and him talk history?
Thanks guys.
putting lindybeige and gerry together on the same space would blow my brain!! add big ben from 4ground and the internet will meltdown.
Happy Weekend guys 🙂 Getting ready for a weekend of gaming.
Going to hold off building my Clone Wars expansion until the Star Wars Legion weekend.
Obi Wan will be a TV series.
Warren, Have you watched the Mandalorian trailer?
Boba Fett isn’t a Mandalorian or a good yard stick. Lots of good Mando lore in Knights of the Old Republic.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mandalore
@daegren sorry to say KOTOR is not classed as cannon from the story group and Disney POV, for mando history look at the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels as that was all part of George’s vision along with the fact that he was on set for the Mando Show. George gave his blessing to Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni in doing it.
Defiance is looking great!
Ewoks are awesome and I will bring an army of teddy bears with sticks to fight anyone who disagrees with me. An army of Ewoks is the only thing that would get me into Star Wars Legion, and remember there are still only 3 Star Wars movies, so I’ve no idea what you are talking about!
It’s the Weekend!!
Early enough to squeeze this in before a certain Rugby match begins…
Didn’t need your prompt to share this video, that was done within minutes of the start to the Infinity group in the club. Watching the rest is being constantly interrupted now by group chat!
Sorry Gerry, the Obi-Wan story is a Disney+ show, not a movie. A director for the series has been announced, someone that directed an episode or two of The Mandalorian. Find out more here https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/tag/kenobi Work has begun on season 2 of The Mandalorian. @Lloyd – if you want more Vader in your life, there are a couple of comic runs, now available in trade paperback collection. The second series was very well regarded. Also well spoken of is the book Dark Disciple (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Disciple). There is also a VR game called Vader Immortal – Episode II was recently released. @warzan… Read more »
Oops, got the book wrong, I meant “Lords of the Sith” (https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2015/04/lords-of-the-sith-review-all-quiet-on-the-ryloth-front.html)
And the Obi-Wan series is said to be set 8 years after “Revenge of the Sith”, so Luke would only be around 8 years old. not sure if this is before or after his appearance in Rebels.
@Warzan for lots of Thrawn which Star Wars Rebels as Thrawn turns up as the lead villain for series 3 and 4 also Fett is not a Mandalorian he is a clone of Jango Fett grown normally.
Disney will not torch what they call legends (star wars pre purchase by disney) they only thing they are doing are picking the bits they know work and sorry to say the Yuuzhan Vong War wasn’t very popular it sold but it had people up in arms for some of the choices made.
@lloyd, @warzan, Gerry and Justin watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to2SMng4u1k
Interesting version of the scene, but I think it makes Vader look more agile than his metallic body has allowed him to be in other lightsabre battles. One of the story points that I have heard brought up for the Obi-Wan show, via Collider Videos, is a penultimate battle between Vader and Obi-Wan, where Ben is still the master and he tries to turn Anakin back to the light side one final time…. This I think is based on the line “Obi-Wan once though as you do”, which Vader delivers to Luke at some point. And that we haven’t seen… Read more »
@warzan and Gerry look at this as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeG215-yu-k
spoilers!
haven’t watched all of rebels yet
😮
Watch Rebels Gerry
I think it’s really cool @grimwolfuk but we can probably lose the stamping on the robes part lol 🙂
Great show guys, massive fan of Infinity and looking forward to seeing Defiance succeed on Kickstarter!
Happy weekend!
So many things that interest me in this episode, can’t wait to watch it whole.
The miniatures from Journey Into Midblight are so quirky and lovable. Flying goblins. Brilliant idea.
Also very excited for the Star Wars Hobby Weekend. I’m more of a Star Trek fan, but beggars can’t be choosers, right?
The support and development they do for infinity is truly impressive. Plus those box sets always look good.
Great weekender guys. Very excited for both defiance and N4.
Eh. Dyson Sphere’s are a tricky proposition. Not that the GFFA doesn’t have history with these sorts of Celestial engineering projects – the whole Corellian star system (in addition to Corellia there’s the habitable planets of Selonia, Drall, and the twin planets of Tralus & Talus) being an artifical creation with the Centrepoint Station being an ancient, gigantic hyperspace wormhole generator… I could see Kenobi being something more intimate – bear in mind when we leave him at the end of ROTS he’s just seen his entire Order wiped out, been betrayed by men he had spent years leading, seen… Read more »
Looking forward to seeing the let’s play for Defiance as I like Warren am wary of getting Infinity due to its rule volume and complexity.
Star Wars Hobyy Weekend sounds great. It will be interesting to see what’s available.
Obsidian Protocol is definitely in my wheelhouse as I am a huge mech fan. I, however, am not planning on in but hope to see it in the UK on the shelves at some point.
Looking forward to the XLBS as passion was evident in the Pointless Views segment earlier this week on the same subject.
It is great to see Carlos with his thick accent TM
🙂
looking forward to learn more about Defiance. Obsidian Protocol look interesting too
I like that Wildfire will have crossover cards with Defiance. Wonder if CB will do card packs for other Infinity minis?
Infinity Defiance looks very interesting. Will Corvus Belli be showing it off on Spiel in Essen?
I so much want to get into Infinity but the learning curve has always been an obstacle. Operation Icestorm is still waiting for a dedicated hobby weekend and a play through. Honestly though, I should remove Angel’s A to Z book out of sight and just get the minis battle-ready. (GW makes its mark yet again.) The concept of the Defiance KS already threw my hobby- budget into disarray, but is it that easy entry into the rich gameplay that is N3? I do hope you touch on that comparison in your upcoming coverage. Oh, and please, Corvus Belli, start… Read more »
Oathsworn looks awesome!
And may the force be with everyone always, of course.
I don’t know if watching the weekender is such a good idea anymore.
Seeing all the new games coming out or going to kickstarter isn’t good for me.
Cost, space and especially the time is getting an issue.
Great show as always! Love the look of the new Infinity stuff!
Looks amazing, Some lovely models. Look forward to getting more information.
