Infinity Sneak Peek – USAriadna 6th Airborne Rangers Reg.
November 12, 2015 by dignity
It's time to drop in for an exclusive look at one of the upcoming models for Infinity! This time around we've been sent images of the 6th Airborne Rangers Reg. who will be joining the fighting for the USAriadna...
Working as part of Roger Zan Vant's squad he is a reliable and cost effective unit that delivers a punch when needed.
Here's some additional fluff to get you excited about using him on the battlefield...
"The Sixth Airborne Rangers are the airborne light infantry regiment of the USARF. Of all the USAriadnan units, it is probably the one most similar in operative profile to the U.S. Rangers, a light aircraft unit, with a capacity for rapid deployment and execution of special operations.
The Airborne Rangers specialize in lightning attacks on enemy positions, appearing from where they are least expected. This is why they have access to the helicopters and airplanes of the Light Air Cavalry.
The Rangers arrive on the battlefield flying low, grazing the tips of the trees, wearing predatory smiles and blaring loud music through their headphones, anxious to jump into combat.
These boys have been trained specifically to conduct Direct Action operations of short duration and high intensity, missions with immediate direct contact characterised by fire fights and close combat.
The task assigned to the Airborne Rangers is always crucial to the success of the operation, as crucial as it is dangerous, which is the reason why they say in the USARF that this unit is a real hero making machine."
Armed with both a Submachine Gun and an Armour Piercing Close Combat Weapon he is deadly up close. I'm sure he's stuck that blade into the back of many a foe.
Have you been enjoying the additions to the USAriadna force?
My only disappointment is it’s not a 4 pack of them…
It will no doubt turn into a multi pack once a few models out.
I’m not saying a pack of 4 isn’t going to come out, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Bostria did an interview about Human Sphere N3 on Mayacast, and in it he stated (this was before the above mini was shown) that the Airborne Ranger would just be a single model blister but a second one would come next year.
Obviously things change, and that 2nd model could be a boxed set, but my gut feeling is that all you’re going to get for a while anyway.
yeah, I’m already planning on refreshing my metal mini reposing skills on some grunts and a second hardcase, not sure what to do with this guy till the profile is up, but I’m quite liking the idea of making one of each unit going for or using their pistol as a proxy for any loadout I need and/or RPG minis
It would be nice to have a 4 pack with some special wpn options and various poses. I do like the aggresive pose (even with the bent SMG arm). The bold “come and get some”. I tend to get some Haqislam figs that look close in gear/style and modify/paint them into my additonal options.
It looks amazing, a sniper would be awesome and a infiltrator w/ mines or panzerfaust well hehehe.

So lets see, Van Zant, Mirage-5, 2 Spetsnaz, 3 Para-commandos comes out to 247 & 4 swc. What are we thinking, around 20 points for these guys? 2 should just leave enough points for cheerleading Lt of some sort….
@dawfydd nasty list but a bit of a one trick pony
