Infinity Releases for June
June 20, 2011 by beerogre
ASURAS
Asuras are ALEPH’s elite, some of the finest Heavy Infantry in the Sphere. They use modified Boddhishatva model bodies: military grade state-of-the-art Lhosts, protected by highly absorbent subdermal armor-plates. They can carry out long campaigns without resting and never show fatigue. Magnificently prepared and highly qualified, Asuras are the best of the best, a superior category of special operatives.
REVEREND CUSTODIERS
The Reverend Custodiers are Observance’s specialists in cyber-warfare and electronic warfare. They are tactical combat hackers, the main attack line against the constant threat of ALEPH, and part of the protective framework of the Nomad nets.
ORDER SERGEANTS
The regiments of Brother Sergeants form a core of experienced veterans who, as men at arms expert in various military specialties, reinforce the Order’s line troops. In the operative organization chart, Sergeant Specialists carry out tactical support, or advanced force functions, as required by the specifications of a mission. It is quite a sight to see Sergeants on a transport heading straight for battle.
DJANBAZAN
The Djanbazan Tactical Group constitutes the Special Assault Corps of the Muhafiz, the Security and Intelligence force of Haqqislam. Its mission is to defend the entrance and exit points of Haqqislam and preserve the Silk commerce. This means that they must be ready for close combat with pirates, smugglers and insurgents.
SKIÁVOROS
The Skiávoros are the original model from which the other EI special combat forces were later created, as well as being one more of its sinister discoveries wrenched out of astral space.
Wow do there studio painters do an amazing job.
I really like the sculpts, pitty that I have not seen or heard about anyone playing this game in my area but I may just have to pick up a model or two for some sci-fi RPG games.
you know ur awesome when u dont even care that ur ripping the head off of someone, and just look away
Your line was so cool that I made this:

🙂
not a big fan of this anime-style but the modells are really nice looking, would be awesome if the hologram were real ^^
But it is real! It comes printed on a real piece of transparent foil! 🙂
Not in the newer packs, but, all holograms are available now from free in higher resolution files fro everybody to print in clear acetate sheet.
Only thing putting me off starting Infinity is the lack of a 2 player box game so i can introduce my mates to it as well. Do they do a game in a box like product similar to ‘Assault on Black Reach’? If not they should really look into it. I find its the best way to win new gamers. Give us something we play with our mates to convince them to get involved!
A two-player starter would be interesting, but you can get starter boxes for all the armies and most of the sectorials. Since rules and other materials are free, you have the choice of picking up your favorite forces. One of the differences between Inf. and for example 40k is, that you’re not really forced to take any particular type of a figure. There are availability restrictions, of course, but you can play anything from a large force of light inf. to a small, specialized detachment based around a heavy robot. That’s why there is no such thing as a “typical”… Read more »
Its not that easy even PP that is a mid range company needed quite a few years to release a two players box and to be honest it looks restrictive, what if you do not want to play any of the two factions?
So what is the problem of taking up two starter boxes for black reach price you can get two starter boxes and a blister for PP equivalent two starters and a few more things, why should the only way to start be a caned two factions starter box?
I agree PS I really think the way that other companies do it is better. Having worked for the GW the amount of times I heard ‘but I don’t want either army in there’ was unbelievable. Its a bit outdated and I much prefer being able to pick an starter faction set of my choice, especially when you can get your rules for free.
Like a friend said – the level of cool with these is getting ridiculous.
Stunning as usual…..
The guys at Corvus Belli are simply the best at what they do. And I really need to start this ALEPH battlegroup…
Once again, the models are high quality. Im glad I got into this game.
I absolutely love the models, except the asura…. I don’t know just not feeling it with that one. I love the others though
Reverend Custodier is my favorite I think, although the Djanbazan and Skiavoros are very very awesome as well
Yeah, I agree, I’m only fifty-fifty aboutt that one…
It’s the little “crown” around the face, I believe… Also, it’s not as manga-esque in the lines as Aleph used to be, while at the same time being “just one more babe in spandex for Aleph”, you know…
Still, beautiful, and a great sculpt as always !

Oooh ! I wants me a reverend custodier !
BoW Romain
I would like to watch you paint some Infinity minis for us 🙂
Amazing releases as always 🙂
Love the Djabazan redesign.
It could be the Calyptra though.
Also Custodier is simply amazing.
Another fantastic round of releases from CB. These figures are getting even more awsome with each release.
The Reverend Custodiers may be my favorate and may be the tipping point that makes me start a Nomad force. The Djanbazan is such a stunning pose i will be getting her just to paint. The Skiávoros and the Sergeant Specialists just exude coolness and power. Not quite as in love with the Asuras, the pose is nice and the paintwork is up to the usual standard, but the whole model is off somehow. just can’t put my finger on why
I love the Skiávoros. I just started a Shasvastii force but I may branch out into regular CA just because of it. My next favorite is that Nomad. Wow.
The Djanbazan is a cool fig but I can’t see taking a hacker version of it unless there happened to be extra points and want to fool your opponent.
Which unlucky lieutenant of the Combined Army has to order the Skiavoros, that the Morats are on the same side and are not expendable.
Gotta love the Custodier. Combat Hackers even better. Can see my bro picking one of these up and my Yu Jing feeling the pain.
SKIÁVOROS reminds me of Cell from dragonballz 🙂
Think the reason people aren’t feeling the Assura is the face. Its a little too wide and pancake like. Studies show that a majority of people tend to find long slender faces more appealing. I say just use the Assura from the starter box. That’s a great sculpt. And I think the Custodier cements my decision to start a Nomad force as well. That’s the top sculpt in this series in my opinion but the Skiavoros is giving it a good run.
The one thing about the Asura though is that they are not human. The look gives that impression to me. They are artificial life forms run by the EI.
The Infinty painters are experts. Just superb. Great with thier blending. Very nice and smooth finish. and they pick out every little detail. Also the colours are very bold, bright yet they have strange sort of dark feel, to show the world they live in. What sort of paints do they sue to give the finish? Just superb work all around. I also love the sculpts. A very defined and smooth finish. Quite animey but I quite like that. The Djanbazan and the reverend Custodiers are a definite buy for me. Even though I don’t collect Haqqisalm I may start… Read more »
Angel Giraldez the official painter for Corvus Belli uses exclusively Vallejo products.
No new Yu Jing, 🙁 oh well, probably a good thing, as i still have YaoKongs, celestial guard, a Karakuri and a couple of Tigers to paint up first 🙂
