Yes it is that time of the month whereby Corvus Belli seem to bring about the apocalypse with the release of their new miniatures for that month. And this month is no exception. It's a doozy too!
Hussein Al-Djabel we've already seen thanks to Angel Giraldez leaking it on his blog. He's split opinions, some love him others don't like his glowing hand and pose. I have to say I'm firmly in the like camp. He looks cool.
Next up we have a nice little boxed set to keep those Frenchie loving Ariadna players happy. I have to admit, I really like them too, and that means there is now not a single faction in Infinity I don't want an army for. Screw you Corvus Belli, screw you hard!
'But Frontline Gamer' I hear you all scream 'don't you hate Pan-o?' Well yes, yes I do. But lately they've gotten themselves some damn sexy mini's and as of right now I'm going on the record as saying this miniature may have just pushed me over the edge. Yep, I'm considering doing a dirty Pan-O force as well. Don't look at me like that with your accusing eyes!!!
I honestly thought the Combined Army had stolen miniature of the month with this little beauty, I really did. He's huge, a beast and just look at the size of that axe! Who the hell needs an axe that big? Lovely miniature.
No for me Infinity miniature of the month goes to this little bad ass. Father Lucien Sforza. We've all been waiting for him, and when he comes out he doesn't disappoint one little bit. Just look at his bad self! Love him.
So there you have it, for those of you who can't get onto the Corvus Belli servers because they've gone supernova from all the increased traffic. So what do you guys think? You got a favourite? Peace out!
I didn't have a problem perusing CBs servers. lol
ReplyDeleteFather Lucien Sforza. I've been begging for him since I started playing, and now I'm as happy as a cat on a lap. All in all, a fantastic release.
Absolutely agree Jordan. My big factions are Aleph and Yu Jing, yet somehow I'm more than happy with this months releases. I wander why? Must be because they're all so super awesome!!! I'm loving Sforza.
ReplyDeleteGotta say, my favorite is the combined army dude...what an awesome battlesuit he's sporting.
ReplyDeletedammit that combined army figure is awesome!
ReplyDelete*gibber* I was talking about the Tempests the other day, fuck my dog he's awesome!!!!
ReplyDelete@OSH, I know, he is a complete brute of a mini. The axe looks wickedly curved and ready to cleave.
ReplyDelete@DT, yep!
@Sorroshard, I thought you might be happy with this months releases. I really love the direction they took with the CA HMGs. They just look ace.
Just finished assembling the last of my stuff, the anethematic is a pain in the A55 but sooo worth it, I'll try sticking a list together tonight....
ReplyDeleteIts a dirty laser cannon for sure, still prefer the autocannon :oP
My next force is going to be Combined Army, the morat veteran couldn't have come at a better time.
ReplyDeleteThe level of stuff CB are putting out is just stunning, long may it continue! :)
I'd just like to thank you for hurting my wallet just a little bit more. Your Infinity articles pushed me over the edge of taking a closer look at the game. Well now I've ordered the books and an Aleph starter box but now I'm thinking I need a Yu Jing force, or maybe Pan-O for a little patriotism. Dammit, I just know in six months time I'm gonna have some kind of force for every faction in this game. Damn you, damn you to hell.
ReplyDelete@Sorrowshard, I look forward to seeing your list.
ReplyDelete@Pacific, yeah the CA are getting so very, very tempting. CB continue to pump out high quality miniatures every month, and I seem to be continually surprised by their consistency and standard. Still think they need to go back and re-sculpt some of their miniatures, but most of their stuff now is utterly stunning.
@Darg, I'd say I'm sorry... but I'm not!!! :P You know you love it really. It's a great game with great miniatures, and it just keeps on getting better. Can't wait for the next expansion book.
Awww....I want Infinity so bad....
ReplyDeleteGotta wait until the new year, though...
I mean, I COULD buy Christmas presents just for myself, but I think I would be disowned by friends and family...
Blah, I say...
Stupid...Christmas...it's stupid...
@SinSynn, it is a puny human tradition... and now I'm too old to get presents off of the 'Santer Claws' they talk about, I feel it is now a redundant tradition without any validity!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly Infinity will do that too you. You'll be sitting there thinking, nah I don't need any more miniatures, but I do WANT the shiny, shiny pretties. Just when I think I'm done collecting, they do this to me!!!
yeah, not even painted my Shasvastii yet and I'm looking at a morat force, lol, the cost of a new force is prob less than a gw unit plus transport, oh ho ho ho
ReplyDelete@sorrowshard, maybe not quite that cheap but I do get the sentiment! :)
ReplyDeleteA local store here in Colorado has decided to go full boar and stock a ton of boxes and blisters. I almost cried right there in the store, then I manned up, regained my composure, and spent $120. XD
ReplyDeleteThat Pan-O sniper is very cool. But I haven't finished painting my Yu Jing starter pack yet . . . or even played a game.
ReplyDeleteAh screw it, I may as well get another starter pack, right? Maybe two?
@Jordan, thta's great news mate! Perhaps you'll get yourself a few more opponents.
ReplyDelete@James S, well if you have two starter packs you'll be able to run intro games and get more people involved in the game! So really it's like an investment in your own hobby future... well that's what I always tell myself when I buy more factions than I should ever really need! :P
Hussein must go immediately into my Haqq Bahran force.
ReplyDeleteThe Loup Garou are soooo tempting its scary, and the Ariadna were the only force i didnt want to do.
At least there were no Aleph releases, phew!
@Daddy pig, I know what you mean. Sounds strange but this month I'm so happy to not have to see any Yu Jing or Aleph releases. I really don't think I could've coped!!!
