6th Marut
At  first I really, really didn't like this miniature. I mean REALLY didn't  like it. So its a testament to how good it really must be to actually  make it onto this list, not only as the first TAG, but also as my first  Aleph choice, because trust me the competition was stiff! Its another  miniature you need to see in the flesh to fully appreciate. Its a  powerful model and pose and I think its the definitive Aleph model.7th Deva Functionary (Spitfire)
Following  hot on the Marut's heels is another Aleph figure. Again it was hard to  pick just the one given how full of awesomesauce the Aleph range is.  He's not as dynamic as most of the Infinity models you'll see, but he  doesn't need to be. He's simply kick ass and he knows it. Oozing command  and control. Its a powerful stance and the nanopulser arm raised  thrusting into the air looks fantastic.8th Zerat hacker
At  first I didn't really like the Combined Army range, maybe because the  little boy in me just wanted all the big mechs and space ninjas... but  slowly they grew on me. Now I love the range. The Morats are HUGE in  comparison to their weedy human counterparts and look brutish, but the  female Zerat is all dainty elegance and poise. This model captures so  many of the good things about Infinity's sculpts that it demanded a  place on my list.9th Karakuri
During the Beasts of War Infinity week they had a fantastic article entitled 'creating the Karakuri'  . It just demonstrated perfectly the level of detail and thought that  goes into every single miniature within the range. I always felt the  Karakuri was such a beautifully awkward sculpt capturing the moving  mannequin theme perfectly, hauntingly beautiful. They could however just  taken inspiration from this bjork video.10th Cutter
This  is the second TAG in the list and while it might not be everyones cup  of tea (it is Pan-O after all) its here because of the affect it had on  me. This model reminded me of all those Japanese anime films I used to  collect and watch to death as a kid, the ones that made me wish the  future was here now, so I could pilot big mechs and kick ass. This model  just made me smile when I saw it.Next up will be my top 5...
