Onyx Task Force Assembled For Infinity
May 24, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Corvus Belli has brought together an ITS starter bundle for the Combined Army that is 300 points and called the Onyx Task Force!
With this army you have an group of the many races of the Ur Hegemony. This Sectorial Army brings together the elite troops to act as a first in and establish a beachhead for the follow on main army.
What makes this Sectorial Army so special is that it is based on not just one race but multiples, taking the best of the best. Within the ITS ready pack you get a combination of some tried and true miniatures as well as some new releases.
It also comes with a tournament list, so you can take them out of the box, assemble and paint them. So, if you have gotten your hands on the new Human Sphere book set and are looking to add these incredible troops to your already Combined Army or start your own faction, then you will want to pick this up.
What is your army of choice?

I really really want this. Is there a release date?
Most likely towards the end of June.
They said May on Facebook, so I’d expect them in shops sometime in June, especially outside of Europe.
If I was going to play infinity this would be my faction.
Those are great looking models.
Will it be the same packaging as the USAriadna Army pack, with terrain etc.?
I don’t think there will be anything like terrain etc…you’ll just be able to buy a 300 point army at a significant discount in comparison to buying all the things (it looks to be 3 boxes) separately. I’d be very tempted to buy this, if I hadn’t bought the CA starter box a while ago (and that was purely because I liked the models so much). The other releases for this month have already been announced fyi Haqqislam: Bashi Bazouk Combined Army: Xeodron (possibly a box of two?), Onyx Army Pack Tohaa: Kosuil Boarding shotgun Mercenaries: Miyamoto Mushashi PanO: Uhlan… Read more »
Is there any point in me commenting these releases ? Any Inifity release ? Ever ? Every time, the only words that come to mind is “Amazing”, “Gorgeous”, “Superb”, and “They’ve done it again”. Corvus Belli may be the only company that hasn’t had a sub-par release in years. They have no problem, ever. Or at least none that I know of. The miniatures are always lovely, incredible pieces (with no repeat sculpts, ever), very well-cast in a proper material (not too soft, not too hard, never brittle), and lately they’ve so refined the pegs and 3D sculpting that they’re… Read more »
Recently discovered Infinity with a friend and we wish we had done so years ago – pretty much for the same reasons.
the only change I’d like CB to do would be to do more models that come with several weapon options so that we don’t have to wait so long to get all weapon options for some entries.
You have to keep in mind that the approach they are taking allows them to constantly release new miniatures without having to create new units all the time or trying to sell their customers multiple copies of the same model or expanding the game past skirmish level.
I would never want weapon options therefore, I much prefer how they are handling it. In the Infinity community it is also perfectly accepted to proxy weapons options that are not available…
Infinity is by no means a bad game, but it is not for everyone and I do think that is a factor in popularity. Plus the visual style is again fairly niche. They to my mind are the big limiting factors as to spread and success. I do think more accessible rules with N3 will help them grow.
Looks like a good way not only to get into this faction but Infinity ax a game.
Like the idea that they give you a list as well as the figures.
I hope they do the same with the other armies as well.
Those Corvus Belli chaps most assuredly do make some beautiful minis.
