Infinity Dire Foes!!! Exclusive!!!
November 22, 2013 by dignity
That's right guys our buddy Carlos has sent us a little video of the latest and greatest new things coming from the team behind Infinity.
So lets get down to nuts and bolts here. We're getting an exclusive look at the new Dire Foes, but the question is what are they? Well from the look of things you're getting a tabletop grudge match between two characters from the Infinity universe so get ready to see the sparks fly as these super soldiers face off and kick some serious ass...
In your box you'll be getting :
- 3 Miniatures. The 2 Dire Foes and 1 Civilian for the mission.
- A set of 5 post cards with the concept design and pin-up artwork.
- Your download code so you can get access to the mission pack and the stat lines for those lovely new miniatures of yours. Not only that but in the download you're also getting the full back story of just why these two protagonists want to see each other pushing up daises, or what ever alien flower happens to get planted on their grave in the Infinity-verse.
So it looks like I'll have to break out Yu Jing for this one guys as i know I'll not be able to resist these shiny new miniatures. What do you think? Will you be tempted to pick them up for you and a friend? Or will this be one of your collectors buys to paint up, make pretty, and set safely on your display shelf to show off your painting skills?
Want.
I like this direction Infinity is heading in. I have been a fan of theirs for a while now but it has been a trial introducing friends to a new gaming system (die hard 40k fans!),
The new Dire Foes special mission packs are just the ticket to spark more interest!
I want to get my hands on all these sets. The minis look amazing. CB has done an great job with this release.
Carlos, if you’re out there, I bow to you and CB’s greatness.
briliant ^__^
Sweet.
Though I am not as stoked as usually by most of the sculpts.
The concept tough is awesome and targets the weak point of lack of scenarios for Infinity.
Infinity is one of my favourite skirmish games, alongside MERCS and Malifaux. I love the reaction mechanics where it’s “always your turn”.
This looks like a very interesting new angle for the game. Hope there is more coming as I’d like to see packs for Haqqislam, Tohaa, and Mercenaries.
The lack of scenarios was a disappointment to start with even some basic scenarios in the rulebook would have been nice, but then I found the scenario pack for the Infinity Tournament System on their website.
I like that CB are adding some variation to the game.
I like pretty much all the minis in DF range so far (with Angus being only exception). And if what I hear/read is correct then (eventually) you will want all of them because the fluff in there is a middle ground between C:Paradiso and next book
Fusillier Angus for President!
These packs look awesome, I’m pretty much aiming to get ’em all
Very cool! Maybe I’ll pick up one
I am speechless for this release, So many amazing models!
Does anyone know what the mission is for the Nomad vs Aleph pack? The description text suggests the two characters are working together, the title of the mission contains the word “alliance” and yet these are dire foes and it says they are “vs” each other. So assuming you can play the mission with just the 3 models in the pack then it’s a little confusing how it works, unless you’re teaming up against the civilian?
Will most likely be a “frienemies” thing.
Curse their sudden but inevitable betrayal…….. these are incredible on many levels; i lament the damage these will truly do to my wallet…..
That’s a nice little add on for some flavor.
Looking at the stats that fly by some of these dire foes look a bit overpowered compared to the game as a whole and their counterpart. I guess I’ll have to see the full mission pack to see how that might work.
Especially Isobel McGregor being listed as having ARM 3 surprised me, considering what the model is wearing.
Hey Justin,
for clear plastic use PVA. It takes a while to dry, but you don´t get the foggy effects of super glue.
