Check Out The INFINITY Gen Con ’15 Seminar VIDEO INSIDE!
August 2, 2015 by lloyd
We are fortunate enough to have the slides from the Infinity Gen Con 2015 seminar that was held over the weekend. As you can see they have started off things pretty strong with some amazing artwork and models for the role-playing game being made in conjunction with Modiphius...
Infinity RPG
I think it was the natural progression, apart from maybe going into video games, to see Infinity become a role-playing game. Modiphius at the helm is also another great idea since they have done well with a lot of other properties of late.
Some interesting characters are popping up for us to take a look at with a focus on making real world characters that fit into the wider themes of Infinity. It's not just all battlefield antics in the Human Sphere and beyond.
What's great to see is that on top of the artwork and the detail going into the world there are miniatures for the game too. With the stunning character pieces that Corvus Belli already create for Infinity it would have been a shame for these to not pop up alongside the game.
The Future
As it stands Infinity is in a very good place with the likes of the USAriadna coming out but there is also the Classified Deck which helps give you an ITS style experience every time you play.
The artwork on the cards is insanely good looking and they all help you set up games with an interesting narrative as well as being competitive. The best of both worlds it seems.
I know that a few people I know already love the idea of these and have been wanting to pick up packs to use in the local store. We'll have to have a chat about it on Beasts of War some time to get right into the details.
What's Next?
Well, it wouldn't be an Infinity talk with Carlos without him spilling the beans about a whole range of new stuff coming out in the future. With that in mind take a look at the concept art below.
It seems like all of the various factions within the game are going to be getting something new or indeed revamped as the weeks and months tick on...
...and I'm particularly liking how these robotic-types are looking. The Seraph in particular is a stunning piece of artwork and the miniature better be dynamic!
...Oh look, it is! Infinity seems to be knocking it out of the park once again and it's hard not to fall in love with the miniatures range.
I never thought I'd be seeing Battle Cat from He-Man show up in Infinity but hey, there he is. These might have some interestingly unpronounceable names but they sure do look awesome. 'What would make the cat look more dangerous?' - 'Stick some guns on its shoulders!'.
The Combined Army are certainly not going to be left out when it comes to their additional armaments in the battlefield and they look to be getting some new remotes.
The Combined Army have some of the coolest toys out there and so it is no doubt pulling on the purse strings of many gamers to see them get these lovely miniatures too.
Last but not least let's get stuck into close combat with the likes of the Domaru Butai and Captain Van Zant of the Airbourne Rangers. Samurai Vs Lumberjack; who do you think would win in a fight?
If the USAriadna get any cooler then we might find a lot of people all playing the same faction and the match-ups are going to be very weird indeed.
It's nice to see that he at least refused to pose with a rock under his foot when it came to the model and instead went for the rarely used 'satchel'. If you want a model that oozes cool then I'm fairly sure that Van Zant fits the bill.
Well, there you have it. That's the Infinity Seminar in slide form. It's all looking very nice indeed and we hope you get stuck in with comments on what you like and don't like.
What has caught your eye?
The combined army remotes look great, almost like robotic starship trooper aliens
It seem to be a new fashion in miniature design to copy Battle Cat. But seriously good news for everyone who wants more from Infinity universe, even if it’s only fluff-wise.
More pretty infinity stuff. Doubt I’ll ever get the rpg but the concepts looks great anyway.
I feel a disturbance in the bank account, as if a great amount of pounds where ripped out and replaced with the growing metal mountain …
I seriously love seeing the render with the human for inside the armour. It it through little details that have me sold on the minis, and it does not hurt that it is a great game 🙂
Its amazing ! The quality of their designs is second to none.
The Van Zant model looks epic, too much to choose from
The RPG will be the straw that breaks the back of my will about getting into this game……lovely models two uses and reasons to get
I have been in love with infinity for years but just have never been able to jump into another system, as when I do I tend to go pretty crazy.
The rpg is making it even more tempting as role playing seems to be the direction my gaming group has swung aside from board games.
It’s going to be using the modiphius lite d20 system, correct? That again is another plus as they are releasing several other RPGs I want to play in that system as well!!
Think you guys could make the complete slides available for download? There’s some stuff not shown here I’d like to have better pictures of.
Glad I ordered the LE Van Zant, better than the one shown here.
No interest in the RPG game, maybe ill pick up some random minis from that line just to paint/collect though.
I think next army after ariadna will be combined army for me, so many good looking models.
now this is some jucy stuff!
I need that tiger to be a mount
Did Carlos just McConaughey us with Van Zant? Alright, alright, alright.
The Seraphs would almost push towards Pan-O if it weren’t for that silly cloth bit.
ok
1. Like the idea for the RPG.
2. the new PanO TAGS look fantastic.
3. the new Domaru looks fantastic. As a Yu Jing fan I love it.
i saw somewhere where someone posted some slides of these, not in good quality, that there is art for a new Guijia. Is there and good quality image of that concept art likes these around?
So the RPG is going to be crowd funded?! Any news on when?!
Carlos mentioned it launching the second half of August.
Damn you Pano! Jealous of those awesome TAGs
Revised rules and amazing miniatures! Corvus Belli is great!
I’m afraid that I will also fall in love with the Tohaa! The only faction that was not so attractive to me SO FAR. But the style of the Igao and the rules for pheromone hacking in combination with this new concepts could make start with this faction….
Tell me more of this pheromone hacking! I had a quick skip through the video but couldn’t find anything. It sounds kinda terrifying.
Yes! Voronin is the greates Infinity sources of bad ass statments!^^
Sitting on my shelves, I have a bunch of Infinity models that I just like the look of. I think looking at some of the pictures here, I’m going to have to make a lot more room.
I know the Shavassti (sp?) range is getting revamped, it would have been nice to see some slides of those.
Great, just great, the sculpts as well as the concept arts. I am waiting for this hunzakut and the mobile brigada with hmg wouldn´t hurt either.
What needs clarification is whether the rpg-models will be crowdfunded only – and if so, where, so I can place my bid on it to get them.
I – want – those – shiny – toys! Period!
Nice, just when I finish my Q-drone they bring out a new one, to bad I can have only 1 in my army. But as always they make delicious eye-candy.
Oooh! New Mobile Brigada sculpts! NICE! And the RPG minis are looking perfect for scenarios.
I’ve been looking forward to the RPG for some time. We play a lot of Shadowrun at the moment and have a decent range of miniatures for it that will probably work quite well in this game. Those models there will also work very well in Shadowrun.
The Modiphius 2D20 system is also much simpler than Shadowrun’s bucket’o’dice
The miniatures are a very welcome surprise
Goodness, but those Mobile Brigada models are sweet.
