Sneak A Peek At The Upcoming Heroes Of Infinity: Defiance
July 26, 2019 by brennon
Corvus Belli has now shown off the painted versions of their Infinity: Defiance heroes who are going to be delving into their Sci-Fi dungeon crawl when the game comes to Kickstarter later this year.
We start with probably my favourite model from the collection, Cadin "Firststrike". I love the energy of the sculpt as he is leaping into the fray, his bestial tendencies pushing him into savage combat. Well, it's either that or he has tried to do a bit of parkour and he's tripped over that bit of terrain.
Next up we have Jazmin "Jazz" who is slightly less absorbed in the business of killing things and will most likely be taking on a bit more of a hacker role in the group.
The attention to detail in the sculpt is great and I love that the studio paint job has picked out all of the clean lines in her outfit and even added in a bit of freehand work too. One hopes that the miniatures from the boxed game will be detailed enough to pick all of these out for ourselves!
The third character for the group is the hulking Qiang Gao who is going to be offering up the ranged support as part of the group. That machine gun is just waiting to cut down as many Combined as possible.
I really like the serious look on his face, as if he is concentrated on the task at hand. You could imagine him being quite the grim and determined member of the team who has little time for jokes. This model clearly needs some muzzle flare coming from the end of his gun and spent bullets all over the floor.
Last but not least we have Uma Sorensen who comes as part of the PanOceania aspect of this team. She is armed for quick and deadly combat in close quarters with those machine pistols. She is armed to the teeth too...I didn't even notice the pistol strapped to her leg!
This all comes together to create an interesting team for those diving into Infinity: Defiance. It's cool to see Corvus Belli looking to find another way to introduce people into the world of Infinity and a dungeon crawler with a Sci-Fi twist seems like a neat idea. Hopefully, the rules will be tweaked to suit newcomers a little more too.
Cover Art
Oh, and over on Facebook the team at Corvus Belli also showed off the cover art for the game too.
Very cool I think you'll agree! It gives you a good idea of the crazy situations your group is going to be getting itself stuck into and there is a lot of blood flying around!
I think this would serve as a very good cover fo the game, highlighting just what kind of wild game you're in for.
Will you be backing this when the Kickstarter hits?
"It gives you a good idea of the crazy situations your group is going to be getting itself stuck into..."
Figures are decent but outshone by the Operation Wildfire stuff IMHO. I’ll still buy it though.
Fabulous figures would make a great future A-team type unit.
Great looking minis.
They look pretty amazing, especially the two fellas, love the way they have painted the shaved head and widows peak on the YuJing character
Nice, I am interested in the game when it comes. I still don’t really understand why it has to go to kickstarter as so far nothing is so different from the usually CB releases. They should be able to cope with this like it is.
why wouldn’t they? All the cost and risk is pushed on the backers, it’s perfect for companies.
They have already added Aristeia to their plate with its new manufacturing techniques. This will be a whole new level of commitment to writing story and rules, more art. More books than figures. A whole new way of doing business for CB ( a return to roots, but that’s another discussion). By taking this to KS they can guarantee a player base that will cover the first years expected costs and give CB time to lean (relearn) the rules for publishing an RPG
For the size of Gao and the ammo feed, the weapon itself looks kinda dinky.
Those are some really stunning looking miniatures.
Very cool.
This would be a great game to introduce my friends to Infinity.
If they like it we can play the role-playing game after. Got it from the kickstarte r as well.
We can use these miniatures to play the characters as well.
Great looking stuff, as standard for Infinity really.
