Imperial Edict: New Infinity Troop Profiles For Bounty Hunters
June 10, 2017 by brennon
We've got a bit of an update for the world of Infinity inspired by the goings on from Strikezone: Wotan. Here's what they had to say on some new profiles for the Bounty Hunters...
Due to the intensity of the Wotan Blockade conflict, the Imperial Service has received some reinforcements. These new troop profiles will not replace the current Authorized Bounty Hunter, Miranda Ashcroft and Father Lucien Sforza Troop profiles but will become complementary Troop profiles for those miniatures.
These IMPERIAL SERVICE upgrades are ITS legal from now on and will be immediately uploaded to the official Army List building tool, INFINITY ARMY.
“Ruling over entire worlds, in answer to the especial needs of the current crisis of the Wotan Jump Gate, we confer the necessary imperial authority to act as agents of the Imperial Service upon the members of the Bounty Hunters Syndicate registered in the central headquarters of Tiān Di Jing.”
“It is our will that these syndicated bounty hunters, whose professional capacity has been assessed by imperial officials, serve to the cause of Justice as full members of the Imperial Service, by submitting to the perfect hierarchy of this exalted agency of defense of the Law.
In immediate compliance with this edict, these bounty hunters must be considered as agents of the Imperial Service properly authorized, in support mission in the tasks of public order maintenance and defense of people and properties’ security.”
“In witness whereof, the Dragon, Son of Heaven, Master of Complete Abundance, Lone Prince, Lord of the Jade Throne, Celestial Emperor and Lord of the Middle Kingdom hereby undersigns in Zǐjinchéng, the Forbidden City. Tiān Di Jing, capital of the Yutang planet and the Yu Jing StateEmpire.”
With such a manouver from the Yu Jing high command, the Wotan Blockade has become now a profitable territory for those with a certain interest for action & adventure.
Keep connected.

Infinity deserves more of a shout out than it gets I think. If GW didn’t exist I’d probably be playing haha.
Also I do love the way they paint their models, very bright and refreshing 🙂
go easy on the GW comment on an infinity thread dude, that could be taken the wrong way.
Minis + paint job are breath taking.
Can anyone explain this to us newbies ?
Is this simply a cost update for these troops for one faction ?
Because looking at the authorized bounty hunter profile for the Nomads the statistics appear to be identical. The differences are in point costs.
They’ve made all three profiles Regular in ISS lists, whereas usually they are Irregular. That’s huge, given they retain the typically aggressive pricing for Bounty Hunters (the standard ones especially given the potential benefits of Booty Lvl 2). Hell, the only other faction that can make Miranda & Authorised Bounty Hunters Regular is vanilla Pan-O, and that requires taking Joan of Arc….
thanks 🙂
I hadn’t spotted that bit in the profile.
I was assuming that all troops had the same profile regardless of which faction could select them, because I thought the regular/irregular was what defined them.
Apparently it is also used to define how well they integrate with a specific faction, which is kind of odd as you’d expect a professional mercenary to be able to work for everyone that allowed their presence.
Irregular troops usually have a bit of a points discount, owing to their inability to add their order to the order pool for general use. The new Bounty Hunters are Regular, so don’t get that discount but become arguably more useful as a result.
The other two profiles have a similar deal, but with a a couple of extra tweaks (along with a couple of extra points) that change the way that they’re going to be used; simply changing Lucien Sforza from Irregular to Regular changes the way his other abilities work massively.
I’m not really into infinity, but do like the girls on Tron bikes that they do so I’ve ordered on to paint up I might order more if it goes well.
love all the new authorized bounty hunter sculpts and especially love the fact CB gave us a bike option for the booty chart, she really was the most necessary of the bunch.
