Infinity: Defiance & Beyond
23 - The Charontids
According to most sources, Naish Sheshkiin is supposed to be the hardest of the Shasvastii opponents in the game. However if the N4 rules are anything to go by, I think this guy will give her a run for her money. The Heavy Infantry models are one of my favourite parts of Infinity – I guess they’re the Infinity equivalents of Space Marines and this is the Shasvastii take on that concept. The Shasvastii have some very different concepts that juxtapose the Human Sphere. Where the Human Sphere is very focused more on computer technology, the Shasvastii have a lot of genetic and biological technology fused with that. This big guy is a great variation on heavy infantry that brings in some of those features with lots of organic parts and shapes. Unlike most Heavy Infantry, the Charontids don’t have a pilot, they’re similar to the ALEPH constructs; a bio-engineered construct with a fragment of the Evolved Intelligence’s personality downloaded into it.
