New Infinity Releases For June 2016!
June 23, 2016 by dignity
It's now that time for new Infinity releases for this year and June! We've got some fancy looking miniatures in this line up, some of which you might have seen before like our first models...
Wú Míng Assault Corps
These soldiers popped up earlier in the week and work for the Imperial Service of Yu Jing. These are men without a name and make up a penal military regiment where they only have a serial number.
I love these miniatures and the chap with his helmet off giving his enemy the death glare.
Foxtrot Rangers With Boarding Shotgun
Stepping in for the USAriadna force we have this Foxtrot Ranger who is a very affordable skirmisher that can camouflage their way into and out of any situation.
They can surprise your enemy on the tabletop and can become a must for an USARF player.
Stingray III Series: Clausewitz Uhlans & Acontecimento Tikbalangs
While this might possibly be THE biggest mouthful of words you'll say all day these soldiers for the Neoterra Capitaline Army and the Shock Army of Acontecimento for PanOceania are a very cool set indeed.
Here you get a light Remote Presence TAG that is designed and optimised to carry out specific combat tasks. This could be hunting enemy tags or simply operating deep within the jungle as a predator looking for more fleshy prey.
Kaari Sentinels
The Tohaa have some rather fancy miniatures on the way too with these warriors. These two 'Silhouette One' miniatures work as a cool tactical tool that no other faction has.
According to the man himself Carlos, this is a unit that every army would like to have in their collection.
Achilles V2 (Hoplite Armour)
Looking very hench indeed we also have the Steel Phalanx's Achilles for ALEPH. I do like the look of these cybernetically enhanced and cloned warriors of the future - they certainly speak to my Cyberpunk side.
This chap is of course the charismatic, charming and utterly devastating one man army Achilles and ALEPH fans love him so.
So, what for you is the big winner from this months collection?
Is it possible to be simultaneously pleased and disappointed about a model? I really like the aesthetics of the PanO tags, but I honestly could have done without all the stuff on the bottom (which I guess is partially there to help balance the pose). I get Tags are generally centre piece models, and everyone has different tastes, but it would have been nice to have a TAG actually using their gun Ulhan. As a twin box release, it might have been an option to one doing a pose, and the other one in a more tactical stance (similar to… Read more »
The Foxtrot’s pose reminds me a bit of Scylla. The scenery on the Uhlans base does seem a bit OTT. The new Guijia sculpt showed him with one foot on the remains of a PanO TAG. Would’ve been nice to see a little PanO revenge on the Uhlan base. The woodland scenery on the Tikbalang base is slightly irritating as well. All my PanO is based on city / hex style bases. Now it looks like any Acontecimento troops will need a different look.
What is that Tohaa design up to? They do illustrate the non-Tohaa nature of these artificial symbiotic creations. Clearly. And, although they are a tad too far off the (“traditional”) Tohaa style for my taste, I actually like them. But, there are some elements that distinctly point towards their arch-enemy. I wonder if that might be a hint.
The Sentinels are silhouette 1 (hard to judge their actual size in comparison to other Tohaa) as well as having structure points instead of wounds (the latter I think was done to help provide a target for some of the mission objectives Tohaa couldn’t / struggled to do).
Plus they are a different race, that the Tohaa have done a bunch of (not very nice) stuff to, and are in response to some of CA’s tic tacs.
I.e. they were always going to look different.
the ulhan is sick!^^
Nothing new for the master race. My heart is sad but my wallet is celebrating ;P
I can’t wait for the Kaari Sentinels
I said the painting was dropping, last time, with the Wu Ming, and I stand by it. And they could have done a better job with the Kaari. But… Achilles, Panoceania TAGs… NOW we’re talking ! 🙂
Come on the new guy must catch up Angel, have some mercy.
uhlans and tikbalangs , pan o players have been after these for a long time. i prefer the uhlan , he looks like he is coiled up with dynamic energy ready to explode .I also love the dynamic angles that the base allows him, gives I’m a really interesting centre line. I hear you on the jungle base though ,I think sculpted woodland or jungle look better when people do their own with static grass ect.i would be tempted to rebase your acconticemento I think the paint job will them hold the together in vanilla . I’m cool with the… Read more »
Stunning releases as is customary from CB.
the kauri sentinels , the sculpt my be a taste thing with these but they are proper alien .wired tohaa strangeness with parasitic aliens . but I see what carlos is talking about ,anti assassination with that biometric visor and anti sepitor with nullifier ,combined army beware.
cheap and nullifier doing double duty against hackers. it will be interesting to see what people do with them , back field area denial or upsetting hackers with aggressive use around objectives against factions other than comined
foxtrot ranger , I think your right with the Scylla thing they are both doing the foxy hip thing .I don’t think they have got that quite right yet but it still conveys the meaning.
Achilles
is there anybody else
and yeah uhlans , tikbalangs plus Achilles with the elromanozo seal of approval .
i love it when you love it.
Achilles… is excellent indeed. Myrmidons, Machaon, Patroclus, all amazing. Phoenix and Ajax are simply superb. Same thing with the girls and the drones : such lovely lines ! I think Aleph is a painter’s wet dream come true, really.
I don’t play Aleph but I’m always tempted by Ajax. Their unique characters are a bit special.
