Tune In For A Live Infinity Text Chat – 5pm UK (BST) Time!
July 5, 2013 by brennon
CHAT HERE: //www.beastsofwar.com/chat-infinity/
If you've enjoyed Infinity week (and why wouldn't you have? It's been awesome!) then you'll be pleased to know that both Carlos Llauger and Gutier Lusquiños from Corvus Belli will be doing a Live Text Chat in the Beasts of War chat rooms today at 5pm UK (BST) time!
They will be up for discussing pretty much anything Infinity related, especially anything about the artwork and the design philosophy we've heard about this week.
To get things rolling and give them some time to prepare we'd love you guys to put some topic ideas into the comments below and hopefully they'll get answered for you later on today.
Don't forget to look back over the videos from this week for inspirational ideas too!
Get thinking!
Why were specific cultures chosen over others for the various factions (ancient Greece versus Rome in the case of Aleph)? And will we possibly be seeing some other cultures in the future?
I would like to know which fictions have been the most inspirational in the creation process of the setting I mean books, comic-books, films, tv shows, mythology sagas.
Cheers from Canary Islands 😉
Okay, I’ll bite.
With the level of detail we have seen on the manikin artwork this week, I can appreciate that it is much easier for a 3D sculptor to integrate it into his workflow for a fast prototype vs traditional sculpting. But what has been your experience of using a 3D printed master versus one that has been sculpted by hand?
Which faction/ mini have you enjoyed working on the most and which one is your personal favourite?
As a side note, thanks to you both for making Infinity as AWESOME as it is! Can’t wait to see what you bring out next.
Also thanks to BoW for focussing on Infinity this week… you’ve forced me to select ISS Yu Jing as my next army… shall be bashing the wallet for a load of them shortly!
why are females in Infinity so sexualised ? I mean the Anaconda concept art is a good exemple. Its not sexy…. its waaaay beyond that point.
You bring up a good point about the image of women. I find it most disheartening when I see models that represent a faith such as Islam or Christianity (yes I know this is a fictional future) in truth true adherents of such a faith would never dress or pose so provocatively.
I think in the case of Infinity it is less about a faction representing a faith and more about finding inspiration in a nation’s history and culture. If there was no religion tomorrow, in 175 years a nation’s identify would still live on in it’s people, it’s architecture, it’s philosophies and it’s dreams.
And still, the world would be better of if real world religions were more like their Infinity counterparts. (unless you happen to be a Sin-Eater)
I just wish there was a model that looked just like it! Bit impractical for gaming though…
You mean the Pinup artwork, I’d be very surprised if the actual mini turned out like that.
The concept art is the dossier thingy and the pose is up to the sculptor.
Also can we get such an artwork for Tony Macayana, too? 😉
I see what you’re saying, but then that’s the style that CB have gone for I think.
It’s in keeping with the art style that leads and defines all of infinity. Some times it does get a bit pungent, I agree, and I have actually suggested that a friends 13 yr old didn’t take up the game because of it, but that’s the joy of Infinity. It has it’s own style and flavour. Some you love, some you hate, but its more love for me.
KHAN!!! OK now I got it out due to me unable to watch this… So I’ll have to stick with watching the recorded version. Oh how I wished I could have asked some questions. Such as do they ever get live models to pose for them? Will Americans or Canadians get models of them in this dark future? I’m Canadian and I find that most games ignore us as a posable force or unit to play with. I really like that your game actually covers a large segment of many cultures from Sikhs to Maori warriors. Surely you guys can… Read more »
I’d like to know how they are planning on expanding the game in order to maintain momentum and profitability while ensuring the fluff and rules don’t become unwieldy and unbalanced.
Are there a set number of factions? If so have we seen them all already? How many sectorials are planned for each faction?
Will future books follow the art style of Human Sphere or the Paradiso Campaign book?
Will there ever be plans for either a TAGs VS TAGs minigame featuring a more detailed TAG combat system?
Will the Concilium Convention ever be represented in a gaming campaign setting?
I for one love good looking women and manly men keep up the awesome art and figures.
Can you divulge anything about the OSS-sectorial for Aleph or the Tunguska one for Nomads?
^^ this, lots of this, we need to know about the OSS!! 🙂
I’d love to know where the guys see the game being in 2 years and 5 years into the future, and if they have a plan for that far ahead.
Hello, Beasts of War users.
right now, Gutier Lusquiños and myself are answering your question in the INFINITY chatroom.
Get into the INFINITY chatroom and hae fun with us!.
I have two questions,
the designs of the differing proxy mk bodies of the Posthumans, what was the thought process here?
also why where certain Homeridae chosen over others, for example why more Argives than Trojans?
Does Ángel Giráldez ever see the light of day or does he chain himself to his paint desk?
Also when will we see the Bootleg line hitting the market?
If it follows the standard timeline, they’ll be announced towards the ned of July and released towards the end of August.
Hey gentlemen! I’m an avid Ariadna player, and I’m very curious about design decisions regarding Campaign: Paradiso. Namely, with helperbots (synch remotes) and hackers able to achieve many objectives, how did you envision Ariadna staying very competitive in the campaign (at least as far as objective-taking was concerned) without these models?
I’d love to hear your comments on the topic! 😀
Here’s another one for when the chat gets going fully – how will the Mercenary faction be structured?
Any chance for a USAriadna sectorial in the future? 😀
That’s already been confirmed as coming in the future. 🙂
Hello,
Will we see the Earth’s Bastion Army of PanOceania? Or It is more a fan wisdom than a possibility?
Thanks
It’s time
Is the art book purely art or does it have descriptions for things?
That butt ………….
Any plans for an Infinity RPG?
uhhh, I was at the university by that time… =(

Love this game ;0)
Interested to know how much is planned with regards to resculpting figures due to the change in the physical size of armaments (IE. smaller guns). Possibly something I have missed being stated in the past but weapon sizing makes mixing and matching new and older figures…interesting.
Infinity, one of the best table top games ever invented. I’m a big GW gamer, hell I’ve been one since the Rogue days and I have seen nothing like this, from game system, figures, customer service, etc.
This company is just incredible, they put new figures monthly (Nobody does that) yes they have missed a couple of months but they stay strong.
Best of Luck CB
