Infinity’s Hot New Miniatures For August 2014!
August 5, 2014 by dignity
Hi guys! It's time for another bunch of new minis from the Infinity team and as we all should know by now its another fantastic group!
Let's kick things off with the Antipode Assault Pack from Ariadna. We've seen images and 360 shots of these badass dog soldiers popping up on the web for a little while and they look killer! These guys are a re-sculpt from an older set in the Infinity line and with the opportunity to come back and work on this unit again the sculptors have really went to town on them making the poses for the puppies themselves feel a bunch more dynamic and lethal and from what my buddy Carlos has been telling me these are the master trackers and line breachers for your Ariadna faction. I can see these making an appearance at clubs all over the world very soon!
Raktorak the Morat Sergeant Major is on the line and ready to kick your battles into high gear armed with the deadly Vulkan Shotgun, which makes this the perfect unit to drop in to a fire team to add that extra bit of kick when you're facing multiple opponents on the gaming table. Don't forget with Infinity week just over we got a sneak peek at how Shotguns are getting a super boost in 3rd edition Infinity so this is a must buy for any combined army player.
Time for a look at the new Ghulam Infantry for Haqqislam. As any Haqqislam player will know the Ghulam Infantry are a well-disciplined regular combat force and have a highly combative spirit. Add to that the miniatures come with a great selection of firepower options to shred your friend's forces including the missile launcher, sniper rifle and HMG. You're going to be spoiled for choice and just as a little cool extra we even have a hacker in this set so you can get things going in the digital wars of the Infinity universe as well as having lots of dangerous death machines.
Next in the line up we have Thamiris the Aoidos for the Steel Phalanx. From the rumblings of the interwebs this seems to be a very popular trooper, combining skills like Hacker, Journalist and No Wound Incapacitation he seems to have proven to be an absolute essential in campaign games.
Last up the Yu Jing are not to be out done this month as we meet the Zúyŏng Invincibles. These Terracotta Soldiers have been rumored to be one of the options for the line troops for a new Sectorial army and seeing this guy loaded out with the mighty HMG makes me think that if we do see a new Sectorial it will be the elite of the elite of the Yu Jing empire!
That's it wrapped up for another month. So what do you think guys? Have you seen a must have miniature in this selection?
Ah this is like a soothing eye patch after coming from the new Space Wolves santa chariot of death.
Great work CB.
Antipodes are just great. Raktorak and CA in general is completely not my cup of tea. Ghulams have been awaited for so long that many will be disappointed by the end result although it’s not that bad – only ok.
Thamiris is all great except for the head…I have almost the entire Aleph line but this one I won’t be ordering any time soon.
Chinese HI is nice but I’d prefer to see the whole 4-man box before saying it’s better than ok.
Ghulam Infantry do look pretty sexy.
I hate CB.
They be like: “Yo, bitch, gimmie us you monies”
And I be like: “No way Jose…uhh…OK, TAKE ME MONIES!!!!!”
It’s a good time to be CA =)
Corvus Belli, keep up the superb work you’re doing. And keep doing YOUR thing, we love Infinity because it is what it is.
Top drawer as usual.
I suppose I could be (ever so slightly) critical of the change in direction with the antipode aesthetics, they look like fantasy werewolves dressed up in the usual ‘tactical’ gubbins but even then, they look so (hideously) dangerous, brutal and gorgeous that it just doesn’t matter!
What an amazing set of releases! Words cannot describe the sheer awesome of the Antipode Assault Pack! I have been eagerly waiting to see the final sculpts since the previews from Warren’s interview with Carlos earlier in the year.I am loving their characterful poses and scars. Their handler must be one tough cookie to keep them in line, especially how they look now! Nice job Corvus Belli! Ariadna fans thank you! 😀
Beautiful minis. The Antipodes win it for sheer intimidation factor. When they are not kicking your ass, they’re chewing on it.
I wish I could paint minis to that standard 🙁
Once again making GW look like rank amateurs. The (war)game has changed and they aren’t at the races no more.
Well the Antipodas are absolute hobby porn. So amazing !
even infinity do space wolves better than the new GW stuff.
ok im quite noobish when it comes to infinity but can the scottish sector army take the Antipode Assault Pack ?
also loving the haqqislam troops
No. Caledonians can’t take Antipodes.
No Infinity! No wolves!
Wow, the new antipodes are a huge improvement over the original minis. I really like this new direction Infinity is taking.
i liked the older sculpts of the ANTIPODES, but i was just telling my friends that this new ANTIPODES do look like the dangerous brutal enemies that you read in the fluff, that and now they do definitely look like the progenitors of the DOG FACES, DOG WARRIORS and WULVERS….just love them!!!!!!
Oh, those Morats… stupendous ! But really, everything here is.
In tribute to the makers. Me gusta
Those antipodes looks so amazing!
these are miniatures
Antipodes ftw. As far as I’m aware they can be used with the whole Ariadna Army but not just the Caledonia army. It was be a Ariadna force…. Make sense?
Good work altogether
Man the antipodes are cool. Such a huge improvement over the previous iteration!
Nice sculpts really like the dog soldier figures.
Another fantastic month of releases from CB.
The Antipodes redesign takes the first price, its nice to see something so familiar yet so different in the details.
Do CB’s minis make it to the shops fairly close after these teases? I’m new to Infinity but these new Haqqislam chaps are on my radar.
Well, if those Antipodes will be available at Gencon, that is ANOTHER sale CB can count from me.
Best sci fi minis on the market IMHO and they just keep getting better. I like how they have managed to find a good balance between the anime-inspired aesthetic and realism with these releases.
