New Infinity Releases For August 2016!
August 7, 2016 by dignity
See what you make of the new releases for Infinity that are hitting shelves this month. Without further ado let's get stuck in...
Black Friars With MULTI Rifle
Fighting for PanOceania and the Military Orders we have the Black Friar. They are named such for both their grim clothing and their even darker reputation.
As the twilight guardians of PanOceania their designated mission is to provide security against any possible infiltration by enemy agents. Serving God and PanOceania they are the line that separates good and evil, peace and chaos.
Mavericks, 9th Motorized Recon Bat
For Ariadna this month we have the Mavericks. Blasting right into the middle of trouble they rely on their speed to carry the day.
They look like they have all the kit they need to take the fight to the enemy and drive them from objectives on the tabletop. Are you tempted by a full on bike-based USAriadna squad?
Corregidor Bandit Hackers
The Nomads welcome a new member of the Corregidor Jurisdictional Command. These warriors are protectors of their people and will stop at nothing to make sure that those who threaten them meet a sticky end.
The model looks great with a very scary mask! The weapon itself also looks like it straddles the line between medieval weapon and brutal futuristic technology.
Djanbazan Tactical Group
Haqqislam get tactical with their new models for the Qapu Khalqi. As part of the Special Assault Corps of the Muhafiz they have a repuation of being reckless and above all very dangerous.
Conducting covert ops within the shadows they are deadly warriors who come armoured and armed to the teeth. With a different paint scheme they'd look perfectly at home within the world of Deus Ex.
Imperial Agent Pheasant Rank With Red Fury
Finally we have this fantastic new model for Yu Jing and the Imperial service. These soldiers are third-level officials in the tactical judiciary branch.
As special advisers they lend assistance to local and state police departments in the fight against violent and organised crime.
You will find them in the most far flung parts of the State Empire where they also assist these settlements with law enforcement and, when needed, military support.
Which of these new miniatures has caught your eye?
Going to be a pricey month..
I always love talking about the business side of the industry. Who owns who and what licenses are being bought for what type of gaming is a lovely web to pick at.
Asmodee is large enough now and has a reputation for listing to their customers and offering a finished product that can grow new fans rather than scare off the current base. In North America at least, FFG (Asmodee) has a better connection to the customer and a larger marketshare overall. How long before Asmodee make a bid to buy GW and Citadel?
Sorry, Wrong topic.
That bandit hacker is going to have to be a must buy, and that Maverick is so much better than the boarding shotgun one I have already, so another must buy.
The black friar and djanbazans are nice, but I don’t play Pan-O or Generic Haqq (only Hassassins)….. For now anyway!
a lot of people were excited to see the black friar, solid pan o knight model with a very cool kylo ren cowl .
like the Chinese sword fingers but if i’m going to be picky a single blade saber should be open palm , the two fingers is for the more elegant two bladed Chinese sword style.
and speaking of Chinese sword style the pheasant rank imperial agent has just such a sword.
I love this model but would love for angel to go to town on the cloth like he has on miyamoto mushashi.
The black friar looks really cool 🙂 I think I will invest some money in it.
A bit of mixed feelings about this months releases.
I’ll stick to my old Djanbazan. The new ones look like they come wrapped in their own private bouncy castles. I always imagined these troops to be a bit more utilitarian.
The Bandit hacker is cool though, as are the Mavericks.
And the Black Friar is just awesome. That could be a buy when I finally get to painting my Icestorm forces.
After years of resisting the urge, I played a demo at Gen Con and bought the new starter. Here we go again.
welcome aboard nteger
The only real negative I have overall with infinity releases is that I wish there was more each month
