Ariadna Airborne Rangers Dropping Into Infinity Soon
August 22, 2015 by brennon
The USAriadna are going to be getting some more Airborne Rangers soon for Infinity. Sin Petaca 2.0 over on Twitter showed off the concept artwork and renders for this new model and he looks like he fits the gruff bill that the Americans have set out...
As you can see he is completely kitted out for surviving in the wild and getting stuck in when the wilderness turns deadly and the enemies start popping up out of nowhere.
The render looks great too although I would have thought the gun arm would be straighter? Maybe this is a more natural way of holding the SMG if he is retreating back from a foe and just doing a bit of spray n' praying.
Have you been won over by the USAriadna as a faction for Infinity?
Let me know your thoughts...
"Have you been won over by the USAriadna as a faction for Infinity?"
Those are looking really good.
Perfection
FFS, another “spec ops” dude firing a smig one-handed. I hope there’s a pistol option, because I like the mini otherwise.
I think it’s designed to be held one handed much like an oozy is. Of course it be much more stable with a supporting hand.
Another nice looking mini to me. Still toying with a USAriadna box. Why can’t they just make a few of the factions look rubbish to make decisions easier.
You made me laugh as that was one of the funniest yet observant comments today.
Infinity minis, when it comes to aesthetic and detail are amongst the finest you can buy if you enjoy painting AND gaming but the poses just don’t do it for me, and this mini falls into that category again. Who holds a dirty great big knife and a machinepistol/gun in the other hand?
I feel like it’s always the same from CB, nonchalant poses or stances that make no sense. It’s really quite frustrating given the quality, aesthetic and EVERYTHING else about the game is just so, bloody good!
…your right, you should put the knife in your teeth if your holding a big smg thingy!
Shave the hair off – it looks like me!
Not at all sold on the US Ariadna personally, but that’s an aesthetics thing more than anything. I like the anime-style of other factions in Infinity, US Ariadna (and Ariadna as a whole to some extent) aren’t really fitting in with that. Nor should they, they are their own thing – just not my cup of tea is all 🙂
On their own, I’d be tempted to agree with you, although obviously excluding the big wolves dressed as marines. I think part of the appeal of USAdriana, is the same as what made the (old Warhammer) Empire and (40k) Imperial Guard. Here you have some relatively normal looking things going up against some really weird stuff. The USAdriana on their own, are perhaps a little bit dull, but they are in a setting where they are up against ninja’s, old Greek Heroes, giant robots, angry red monkeys, etc.., i.e. I think their models in the overall setting is what makes… Read more »
Yep, that’s a cool looking miniature.
they look brilliant.
More to make the bank manager cry ..
…don’t be a fool – put the gun down!
With this outfit and especially the machete, he looks more like a guy from the zombie apocalypse 😉
A very nice model, ruined by the hipster beard.
CB guys need to research the ‘Glasgow Beard’ a bit better. Stay away from the Barrowlands though!
Lets be honest peeps we play with toy soldiers, sometimes they look just like that and have to hold as many weapons as they can carry. It might only be a machine pistol but their rather annoying habit of raising if fired in a couple of burst’s each time having to fetch it back to target making accurate firing with one hand extremely difficult, to put multiple fast rounds on target. That being said this is like all games need to be taken at face value and suspend realty for the sake and pace of the game. At least they… Read more »
is it me or this dude looks like Jax from sons of anarchy
