Infinity

Infinity is a new SF game from Corvus Belli. So far they brought out 3 different factions and quick start rules that you can download for free. Check out at their website: Infinity the game.

The factions are:
PanOceana - is the No1 great power of the Human Sphere. It owns the greatest number of planets, has the richest economy and possess the most advanced technology. Pragmatic and generous, PanOceania is a melting-pot of cultures, heir to the best democratic and well fare traditions of the west. Proud of itself and somewhat domineering it can claim to have the most technologically sophisticated society and army in the Sphere and likes to brad about it.

Yu Jing - The other great power, the eternal rival always conspiring and intriguing to bring down its adversary is Yu Jing (read Yu Ching), the Asiatic giant. The entire Far East is united beneath the banner of what was once China but which has now formed a single, though varies, oriental culture. Product of great industrial and technological development and a forceful, thriving economy, Yu Jing is determined to achieve the dominant position which it aspires to.

Ariadna - is made up of the decedents of the first human colonising ship that disappeared into a worm-hole and was given up for lost. Isolated on a remote and hostile planet, the Ariadnes -Cossacks, Americans, Scots and Frenchmen - have evolved into a hard and technologically less advanced race, which has just made contact with the human sphere and is trying to carve out a niche for itself without falling under the control of the other powers.

I played with the quick start rules at a local game store (Battlefield Berlin - very good shop BTW!) and I am hooked. Nice new system, the game seems to have a lot of potential. Hopefully the full rules will be out soon. The minis that you see on their website are very good painted, but the colours are a bit too bright for my taste. I presume that they want to emphasise the Manga look of the minis.

For my minis I chose darker more “realistic” colours. I have started with the Asian Yu Jing faction, you can see normal line troopers above (Zhanshi). The minis below are a Ninja and an Invincible Power Armour trooper. The scenic bases are from Nexus games and Wolvesbane (Invincible).

Guijia TAG

The biggest meanest mini so far for Infinity. I just love the design.

OK, the gun is way to big, but all he rest is just fine.

Why the Tau sensor array on the back? I just could not glue the original 3 fins to the mini. They always broke of...

Tiger Soldier
The 2 nice HMG Tiger Soldiers. Since the Tiger soldiers have some stealth I decided to paint the shoulder parts like the Ninja.

The rest is painted in the same colours as the Zhanshis.

Ninja Hacker
On the Infinity forum is a Ninja Hacker mentioned. Since I still have some Urban War minis around, I decided to try a little conversions on my own.
