Stealthy Releases For Infinity This June!
June 25, 2014 by brennon
The month of June comes to a close and so the releases for Infinity make themselves known. This month appears to be one of snipers and stealthy sneaks - well, apart from the rather massive (and incredibly epic) Suryat you're about to see!
First up we have some additions to the ALEPH, Ariadna and Tohaa factions each equipped with a different type of sniper rifle. The Ariadna Scout is a unit from the first book and can find himself a good fit in any army list. The Agema Marksman is another deadly sniper and when combined with the likes of Myrmidons and their smoke grenades becomes an assassin thanks to his multispectral visor. Last but not least is the Nikoul Ambush Unit with a viral sniper rifle and an utterly awesome miniature. I love this more realistic stance for shooting as the other two probably won't be aiming too well standing up!
We talked about the Ghazi Muttawi'ah earlier in the week but this is a great take on the unit and will be making sure that jammer is in the right place at the right time to stop the enemy from remaining coherant on the battlefield. That's all well and good but the Suryat is what I want to talk about. Look at how awesome that guy is!
This chap is a walking tank with a weapon capable of smashing away pretty much anything in it's way. I love the armour, the painting and the way it's been posed as if he's surveying the utter devastation he has caused. A brilliant model and probably my favourite of the releases this month.
That's my favourite but which is yours?
Total agreement. Must have the new Suryat! After the awesome re-sculpts of the morats so far, these guys just keep getting better and better.
Just brilliant isn’t it – actually had me looking over at the rest of the Combined stuff and Morats for Infinity and I did a bit of drooling and had to keep shiny syndrome at bay.

Cool stuff as always! I would love to see a manga animation set in the INFINITY universe. If there already is one tell me!
Badass ! 🙂
That Suryat is amazing! I have loved all the CA releases thus far… and they paint up wonderfully too! I might need to start collecting them!
They are pricey points wise but are monsters on the table… you see a pair of those bad boys across from you and you’re in for a tough game.
I’m still no fan of Morat. For me the amazing resculpt of the Ghazi stands out most. I immediately opted to skip the original models regardless of what they could do on the battlefield. But these new guys and girls are a must-have.
The Tohaa sniper comes a close second due to the interesting pose although I feel it’s better as a display piece than as a gaming mini.
whoa, that Suryats is insane : o
the mecha stuff they’re doing, just seems to be getting better and better 🙂
Does Ariadna need another sniper launched a month after the spetnaz….
The Morat is pretty damn cool…but I like the Tohaa sniper the most. The pose just gives it so much more character than the others and it is a lovely mini.
The new Ghazis are cool but they haven’t wow’d me as much as the other sculpts.
That Suryat kicks butt!
I like the old Suryat though, the one with the hand gun, the other one is horrible. The new one looks a bit too similar to the Sogarat. That’s not inherently bad of course, but still.
very cool .. all of them. I’m just starting to build Morat force and also working on expanding my small Ariadna force… Yes, they do have a lot of sniper models…which is cool but would like to see more “basic” and other weapon troops.
Is there any “books” stories written on Infinity and anime movie? would be cool.
Like all the new stuff, and I would be hard pressed to come up with a line as good as CB is producing for Infinity. Yeah, just better and better, like the new art direction. All the models are nice but the Tohaa line really grabs my interest, and my credit card.
