Exclusive Infinity 3rd Edition Seminar & Concepts Revealed
April 30, 2014 by warzan
Infinity 3rd Edition was revealed at FicZone 2014 last weekend and we were there to hear all the awesome news! We have an exclusive English version of the seminar we recorded with Carlos from Corvus Belli at his hotel just after the Spanish reveal!
As if that wasn't enough to get you Infinity fans excited we also got Carlos to share loads of the new concept art for the forthcoming miniatures!
Remember to vote for your favorite colour scheme with a comment below!

































Now I love this vid. And i’ve loved the Salute vids.
Know what i’d love even more though…
The chuffing Deadzone game between you and James.
Any idea when were gong to get it?
( Disclaimer – the above isn’t a moan. lol )
I really, really. Love the figures for this game and I really, really must get to play it at some point. ( If I can convince my anime hating friends to look past the asthetics of anything that isn’t Blood Bowl or Necromunda. lol )
Sounds very encouraging. Chomping at the bit for this now 🙂
Big news on the LoS!
I can’t wait for 3rd Edition; its looking brilliant. Carlos you are a genius and those new sculps are beautiful.
A pleasure lending my laptop for the seminar. Anything you need guys, just call The Fixer.
Also, much nicer than in the Ficzone. Not having background noise is a blessing.
Carlos’s shirt is so sexy!!

I thought I’ve seen that shirt somewhere.
It is indeed, Tom. Pretty cool of Carlos to give a shout out to it in the end. 🙂 maybe wrong forum for this question perhaps, but are you still going to be part of the podcast now that Romeo was back? I loved the dynamic between yourself and Kip.
I’m so happy right now, this was like christmas! Looking forward to 3rd edition and all the Infinity goodness to come this year!
My vote vor the colour sheme: 2
Looking forward to seeing the new sectorials. Was there any mention of new Bootlegs?
My vote is for #2.
Damn, NEED those antipodes so much for just keeping it to a Caledoian Sectorial ….
And those where worth @warzan going to Spain to bring us by them self 😉
I would say that the 2nd paint suggestion seem the more intriguing as the others had some big “plain” areas on the shoulder pads.
I like color scheme 3. I prefer the pale skin tones of 2 and 3, but 2 just doenst seem like something a warrior would wear. It looks like a hunter who wants everyone else to be able to see him. Scheme 3 has that nice alien aesthetic, but he can easily look like he is fighting in a jungle or at night.
The Ariadna wolves look the best!
shut up and take my money !! now will there be a 2 player starter set for some one that are completely new ?
Hello CB and BoW! Will the current sectorials recieve any new units or profiles for existing units at all and will each of the factions receive a new unit for their upcoming sectorials this year either in the 3rd edition book or army builder for Aleph and Tohaa? Thank you in advance guys, wuji from Las Vegas.
If you observe closely, Neotera Bolts are for… Neotera, so yes, old Sectorials will get new troops.
Great news, one can only anxiously wait to see this “resculpt” of the rulebook!
Carlos is great!
Most of the models all look the same to me, all with tight fitting, over-decorated armour.
I think the Tank Hunter with HMG is probably my favourite looking model from the Ariadna faction so I can’t wait to see how they get ‘improved’ in the coming months. Great news about the Antipode assault pack too (I passed on the original box but these look ace) but perhaps what I am most excited about are the Spetsnaz paratroopers! Maybe I’ll be able to swap out the Yuan Yuan from my book legal, but not ITS legal, Ariadna force and field something that is fully ITS kosher!
Fast F#$ king Pandas!! Hell yeah!
Looking very much forward to these bad boys but a 2 player box would be awesome, especially if you couldmget plastic basic troops loke fusillier etc. Also hope they turn this into a game where the option to have a larger force is also viable. 🙂
Neither plastic, nor larger battles is in the scopes of Infinity.
I am aware of that, was just daydreaming out load. hehe. Would be epic though imho.
Tastes I guess, but why ruin the amazing detail and posture Infinity has with plastics, or I guess be forced to deal with a huge amount of parts to maintain it, likewise why ruin the ideal models per playspace ratio Infinity has.
Because I want another excuse to buy more and also I am not saying do away with skirmish, just add to it to allow both playstyles. Plastics have great detail imho, you only have to check out the WWX Hired Hands to see this. 🙂 It would also allow a mass produced 2player set to help recruit people imho. 🙂
Yep, made the mistake of watching this video with my girlfriend in the room. She saw the Fast Pandas, jabbed a finger at the screen, and yelled “BUY ME THOSE!” 😐
Bad timing for me, my infinity group is no more and I can’t find any new infinity player’s, I hope this will bring them back
Carlos I’m a big fan! Please, marry me and let’s have a baby(-miniature)!
Every time they come out with something like this I just want to throw my money at them. The new 3D sculpts look amazing. I just hope they dont start to get a bit samey.
At any rate I will be buying the new rule book, the Interventors (fast pandas lol), the antipodes,, the …….. sigh who am I kidding I will buy most of it. 🙂
Cant wait. Great video BoW.
Great vid! Loads of new exciting stuff. Awesome sculpts!
Can’t wait!
What amazing sculpts. I don’t play Infinity however I might have to just for these minis. Oh Lord I have to have a bigger house to put all this stuff.
Carlos is boss! Great coverage as usual BoW. This has decided it for me, gona defo start playing Infinity now. Only problem is how to pick which faction, when all the models are so good! Colour scheme 2 for me.
Do like I did, buy them all! Pretty myuch had to as we have no group, live in a rural area, so my daughter and wife are my only opponents. The only problem is all the painting, still fun though. Good luck.
Warren, BoW, Carlos, thanks much for the presentation from the Lobby of “Hotel Carlos”(HC stickers all over the glass). The new stuff rocks the house, looking forward to the new edition and sculpts. Don’t ever pi$$ off your sculptor Corvus, the talent displayed is outstanding. Keep up the great work! Again, thanks BoW for the great coverage. Biting my nails in anticipation for this years Infinity Week.
Great guy, great company and a great game. Carlos is a legend, you genuinely feel he is listening to player feedback.
Corvus Belli, you will be emptying my bank account this year.
Thanks for the vid guys, exciting times ahead at BoW and Corvus.
AUGH!!! The woman on the cell phone at 43:30! I know this is a hotel lobby but while you’re yapping on the cell phone you’re staring RIGHT at the cameras! You are clearly in someone’s video shoot! If you’re going to video-bomb Warren like this at least give him a kiss like the “very handsome bloke” at Salute. 😀
I enjoyed that. Whilst I am pleased about a new edition with better translations and streamlined rules, and that the two expansions are not invalidated, I have to confess I would have liked to see rules like link teams find there way into the main rules, if only foe convenience.
We’re supposed to vote for the EI Unidron Batroid color scheme here in the comments?
I vote 3.
Ah yeh, I vote 2.
I vote Number 3. That green really pops. That being said I like the “skin tone” color off of number one.
I forgot to vote. I’m going for a number two, so to speak….
#3 for me…
number 3.
As ever Corvus Belli do it right. Admit your rulebook has issues, work on them for years, release a new book and make it free to get if you just want to play the game.
As far as the CA troop goes I think 3 is the best option, the orange just does not work for me for some reason.
Finally, I want Fast Panda’s now.
Thanks for the explanation and the previews. My mind is at ease again. I’m lookig forward to the new rulebook.
Will those new Antipodes be ‘Caledonia only’? Because they look awesome! I’d like to get them in my army, but if I go Ariadnan it will probably be the Merovingian sectorial army. Currently I collect Haqqislam and Nomads.
I’d also like to know if component parts will be come available at any time? I have ideas for some anime-inspired conversions, but at the moment it’s really expensive to create those when I only need a spare arm or head from a certain kit. Being able to mix and match different components would greatly expand the modeling potential for Infinity.
And I think the 2nd color scheme for the Combined Army model looked best, because it had some obvious contrast colors to accentuate the model. That being said, none of those schemes really popped, so perhaps some more alternatives could be considered.
Looking at the images in the books and on the website, perhaps the Batroids could be colored like a Charontid. The models have a similar kind of structure. So make the body yellow(ish) and invert the grey and anthracite colors on the armor. The pink accents could stay or be exchanged for a dark purple.
I present to you, option 4:
Great video…. not a wasted moment… the upgrades should improve things; I imagine that they’ll purge images of OOP miniatures. The quality of the miniatures has improved from a already very high level…..
I am fortunate that my Brother is a regional Infinity Guru, I would be obligated to play anyway; I can’t be held to blame because I like Infinity on its own merits. On occasion my Brother will get into “discussions” on the interpretations of a given rule… it can be quite diverting 🙂
Awesome coverage Warren and Loyd. Like always you keep us informed of everything.
Carlos, you and Gautie have CB running 1000 killometers an hour, keep it up. I know of lots of people that are dying to get their hands on your new stuff (myself being one of them) so please hurry.
And thanks for making our gaming way better than it used to be.
Brother G
PS. I go with option 2
😉
I like option 3
