Infinity Beyond Expansions – The Convention Bundle Unboxed!
July 17, 2017 by warzan
It’s time to get the Infinity Beyond Week under way with an epic unboxing of everything available in the limited Convention Bundle.
We have Carlos from Corvus Belli in the studio to take us through both Beyond Operation Icestorm and Operation Red Veil, plus get up close with the new limited edition models including the very awesome Chibi Mushashi!
If these packs have caught your eye then go and check out the Infinity Store for more details and check out the awesome trailer too!
Will you be picking up this bundle?
































That is soo cool! Was totally hyped to see how these boxes look inside! Thanks guys 😉
Go! Go! Nomads! Thanks BoW for doing another Infinity Week 🙂
Sorry PanO but Nomads clearly won this set 😛
The new power armor looks sweet, but so does the posing templar type for PanO.
But yeah Nomads are my favorite 🙂
Awesome! Would love to own one of these =)
looking forward to the battlereport 😀
Giveeee me!! I want the box of PanO and Nomads! 😛
Another Infinity week. I’m all tingly inside. Can’t wait to see what they will show us.
I had the problem mentioned in the video. finding the correct expansions for my Haqq and Yu Jing armies.
I picked way to much. But thats ok I got the Maghariba Guard 😀
I will definitely get Icestorm now to get a nice start with Nomads and Pano. And with the Beyond Icestorm I can justify building the army correctly.
These models will look awesome in my collection.
Cool stuff!
I love the art they use on these boxes! i have the hardest time getting rid of them. In fact i don’t think I’ve thrown away any boxes from Infinity!
This stuff looks so nice, can’t wait to pick up more YJ stuff
All miniatures are awesome, i can’t buy them all though… but at least that spec ops, and of course ChibiMusashi!
Very interesting products. Sadly, I don’t collect any of those factions.
Yet.
Awesome minis!!!
the haqqislam hero looks cool. probably my favorite
Look at that STALKER, I mean Ariadna Spec Ops miniature! So awesome.
I own quite a large collection of Yu Jing and the Haqqislam out of red veil, but so far the old Guilang Sniper is the only model have out of the new beyond red veil box no Zanying, no Daofei at all. I love those models, though I must say, the Nomads win. Definitely the coolest models.
Wow! Amazing minies!!! I could be tempted getting them, just to paint.
ChibiMushashi – he’s just totally cool 😀
Amazing miniatures !
I can’t wait to get my hands on these items.
I has the excites!!!
Man, that Ice Storm box is super awesome! I especially like the new (big!) Nomad mini!
all that metal. i forgot that Corvus belli still make metal minis. the sculpts are awesome and of course is the paint job. wow i wish some prepainted minis were up to win :).
Awesome miniatures, Chibi Mushasi ist of course the best.
But I thought the boxes would be cheaper, had hoped for around 40€ per box.
Nice product, great mins….Swiss guard my favorite! 😉
These are too awesome as always. Glad I’m going to GenCon this year.
I am soooooo pumped for this!
Those are some sexy models
Definitely a good idea to offer an expansion to help flesh out forces. I will be watching the rest of this week with interest.
Questions as a person looking to get into Infinity. Are the preorder special minis only available if I order through Corvus Belli directly, or can I just order through my local game store and get it? Also the game seems to have a lot of exclusive miniatures. Are new players at a disadvantage since they’ve missed out on so many of those exclusive miniatures?
1) You can order the BEYOND boxes with the Exclusive CSU and BountynHunte rthrough your local game store.
2) No disadvantage at all, there are also official regular miniatures that can fill those gaps in any army.
Most if not all exclusive miniatures are just different sculpts and the last two GenCon minis were released there quite some time before their alternate pose non exclusive variations were released.
PreOrder as said can be done by any store, and maybe you also have a store that can get the GenCon special deals, here in germany we got one. That way I got last years (?) deal with the Unknown Ranger for reasonable shipping (shipping from spain to germany is quite high)
Thank you!
Thank you Corvus Belli, once again my wallet doesn’t stand a chance!
wow!!! these bundles are so awesome. cant wait to get them !!!
So Acheron’s fall will be for 2018…. those packs are beyond my expectations, such useful profiles with the best sculp quality, those guys are simply the best miniature company around!
It’s a nice touch, giving players two different approaches to gathering an army.
1. Predefined set and its expansion (economically advantageous, for new players especially attractive)
2. Free customization by recruiting each unit separately
Both have their advantages, but I’m the customizing guy ;]
Chibi Miyamoto is just the most awesome thing ever. Can’t wait till they come out for sale since it is most likely I will go for the bundle and get everything since they are so cool and it adds to my ever growing collection. Thank you CorvusBelli for producing such awesome miniatures.
oh man these are just awesome, , gonna have to get both, and oh look at that, what a coincidence i now have 3 300 point forces for factions I wasnt really planning on turning into full forces… but I guess some more options wouldnt hurt. These boxes are clearly designed to set off people with Faction ADD.
This looks awesome!
The paint jobs that Angel does are truly amazing, if only I could paint half as good as that!
That Swiss Guard looks amazing. I have to say seeing the Angel paintjobs up so close is both saddening and joyous. Knowing I will never acheive such a wonderful level of detail but still it doesn’t stop one trying does it!
Cheers Bow themed weeks are ace!
These look beautiful. Especially that Swiss guard. Though I am also tempted to grab the hassassins in the Beyond Redveil box… I might just have to ask Tzeentch if he can spare me a few dollars to pick this up. After all “Faith is the soul of any army” so it can’t hurt to have two armies of faith! I would ask Slaanesh for money but the money he/she gives me is always kind of slimy with a strange odor..
Cool stuff.
Looks like the wife it getting rope in to learn another game
Even without Warren “oohing” and “aahing” over every miniature those beyond boxes are a must buy.
Noteworthy comment about the ‘historical significance’ of chibi Mushashi. Was Aristeia supposed to be developed as a chibi style game? Or is CB planning something else entirely? These are interesting times.
dungeon crawl
Corvus Belli knocks it out of the park again!
Out of the park! I have a backlog of minis to paint but I will get these. Chibi miyamoto is fantastic!
Carlos how do you transport minis from Spain? Are they going into hand luggage?
This is such a great idea to help someone up to 300 points.
The new Dàoféi looks amazing!
Love those bundles
Fantastic, seriously tempted to order these direct for the free Musashi
Can’t wait for the new Nomads minis – especially that Tunguska HI
I need both but I guess I’ll just have to start using yu jing as well. I think it’s a great excuse actually
Oh, how i need these boxes!
I really like the Musashi because I have some carnival terrain and it would be cool to use for Aristteia!-Land mascot.
really nice figures. Nice to see someone still doing metal figures
I’ve always played Bakunin sectorial and I have a small Neoterra force. With these bundles I’m tempted to get Icestorm and he beyond pack and start looking at vanilla Nomads and PanO.
I like how these ‘expansion’ boxes add the ‘missing’ troops to each faction.
Now both Pano and Nomads have troops with the ‘medic’ and ‘sniper’ profiles, but at the same time they’re different characters.
Ok, I was thinking about getting into Infinity and I’m getting even more tempted now! Can’t wait to see what’s still to come this week!
The Bolt, Intruder, and OMG the Dofei are my favs. Very cool!
Everything just keeps getting better with these guys, gonna be a skint summer this year 🙂
oh gawd! plz let me win the red veil box so i’m justified to get the expansion!^^
I picked a great time to add PanO to the Haqq in my collection….
Epic miniatures and a must have for my Yu Jing and chibi mushashi! I’m gonna have to book leave and go to Interplanetario!
The expansion for red veil looks nice. I love both factions of this 2 player starter, so i like to win it and grab the expansion 😉
Well, those boxes are getting bought. I’ve got the armies to go with them, unfortunately, not enough time to play them all.
Fortunately for my wallet, I don’t play USAriadna and am completely immune to chibi.
Can’t help but be impressed with these bunch of releases. Everything from the box art to the models themselves.
The wait to see the trooper profiles is rough; I needs to see the one for the Nomad Heavy Infantry.
I love infinity figures but wish they were all made in plastic. I always have trouble building them and some of the details are really fiddly to glue on. Their sculptures are perhaps some of the best in the industry
Beautiful minis. Truly hype worthy.
These look awesome! so happy that this is being looked at again and in more detail. The old expansion bundles seemed to dry up.
Those minis are amazing! Nee both boxes!
I mean “need” 🙂
Loving the expansions.
Another step closer to breaking my willpower to make me buy into infinity before the lead pile is painted.
Yes. Great stuff. Exactly what I wanted. Well… The only thing I am missing is some small cardboard scatter terrain to go with the terrain of the starter boxes. But I still great stuff.
Stunning models. Always makes me want to buy them all.
Ya like the look of these, but have to say i never have alot of luck putting metal mins together.. what they like to work with?
Had zero desire to start up Yu-Jing…untill now! The new line is just so dang gorgeous I do not think I can resisit any longer!
Great models!!!!; want.
These look brilliant…they make brush ache, though.
Another home run for CB. Can’t wait to get my hands on these.
Swiss Guard with Zweihander is the best!
They said „you only need 10 minis to play the game”… yeah I’m over 270 and counting. Those guys don’t seem to limit new editions any time soon.
Great minis all around.
Yep this is a great bundle.
the models complement the red veil and icestorm really well.
Those are super awesome quality. I look forward to the profile on the new nomads model.
Dang. Those are some achingly cool models….
The Yu Jing stuff looks lovely.
I’ve never been that interested in Infinity. The early models never really appealed, but damn, the last couple of years has produced some fantastic stuff, these included.
If I win the Red Veil prize, I’ll have to start playing. Just saying…
Corvus Belli did it again! now I wait for aristeia while I order those… ;p
These are amazing! I cannot wait to get my hands on these.
The mini’s are amazing from Corvus Belli as always. Wish I could get some right now and eventually will, mark my words.
If CB used usage data to determine which load out of each miniature to include in the box, why did PanO get a Bolt Paramedic? Are Bolts so infrequently used that background noise randomly lead to the medic being the most used?
I’ll take it all!
I’ve been debating on what to do with my PanOs from Icestorm and this will fill them out nicely.
And I want Carlos’s shirt!
Definitely Nomads for the win. Those models look incredible!
Corvus Belli with another batch of exciting gencon releases!
Does anyone know if the Red Veil plus the Beyond is 300 points or is it Red Veil plus Dire Foes plus Beyond?
Excellent minis as always from Corvus Belli, and Angel is still the king of the air brush.
Can we have an Infinity Week every 3 months or so?
Seriously awesome coverage BoW. Only reason I still subscribe 🙂
Can’t wait to pick these up at GenCon nice addition to my HaqIslam I just started now I want Pan O as well.
Just purchased IceStorm, now I want all of this too.
Love the ice storm minis!!
Seeing the Beyond Icestorm box makes me so glad that’s the one I chose to get into the game with.
Looking forward to this infinity week
Angel’s painting is just the best. They look so unbelievable when you take into account their actual size. All of them are to die for. I think Corvus Belli has done a great job on the sculpting on these also. The levels of detail on them really is so appropriate to the figures. Just….stunned….
Man, I need to start playing Infinity again…
So I shamelessly post my opinion here in a brazen attempt to win great prizes? OK :)
Opinion? Oh yeah, Infinity is like super awesome cool :)
Awesome! Corvus Bellis keeps improving, and we I can’t wait to see how the Kriza Borac plays… and pre-order!
I’m torn with that Grunt spec-op. I preferred the non-Gen Con version of Van Zant, but then regretted missing the Gen Con version of the Unknown Ranger last year because the pose on the regular release wasn’t as good IMHO. What to do..
Looking forward to these, especially the fiday.
Only the Chibi is not for me but getting it free …
You guys are all Opra inspired at the moment! Lol. You have a mini, you have a mini, and you, you and you. Great giveaways, beautiful minis, awesome insights and fun coverage. Love it!
I like the new Mushashi 😀
Realy looking forward to these sets
I’m tempted to get the Red Veil expansion for myself and the Ariadna spec ops guy for my friend. And the chibi mini just for fun but I don’t really need the expansions… as I’ve already got 300pts for my nomads and Yu-Jing but I like the corporate guy extra.
Absolutely gorgeous miniatures and over all a great idea to help expanding the starter forces.
It’s always nice to see Carlos and Warren’s enthusiasm is always welcome. 😀
Some pretty fantastic miniatures in there. These sets are not only great expansions for the starter sets but they’d also make awesome painting projects if you just want to paint some cool Infinity minis.
Infinity already has the best looking models!! You think they cant get any better and then sudennly they come up with something like that! Keep it up guys.
Corvus Belli keep pushing it. Awesome looking sets, me preference for PanO and Haqqislam just means I’d need to pick up both. xD
Lovely stuff, although I’m a strictly Ariadna player.
Nice spec op but I’m not so sure about that rock, I feel there are other ways to have a dynamic pose
Go Bostria!
Awesome miniature. Would like to see more new miniatures for JSA.
All of the minis are amazing. Love that Spec Ops mini.
It’s that time of year again, wanting more infinity. Great box sets would probably take the Haqqislam.
GENCON First Stop!!! Those are amazing!!!
Looks like I might have to drop my Caledonian army for those Nomads
They are all beautiful, ‘though I don’t actually want/need the PanOceania stuff!
Very good for new players, which is the target!
All awesome sculpts.
Lovely looking stuff – I’m picking up the Red Veil set for sure… unusually, the Haqq side of the set is the one I’m really loving this time round, so I’ll look forward to using them when I get start putting my Haqqislam force together when I want a change from using Yu Jing 🙂
So the Bolt and the HMG-Swissguard are models that are played that often and thus are released before other seemingly more important models like the SwissGuard Hacker and Hexa Hacker? I sincerely doubt that. 😉 Gorgeous models but not what many players want or need. An erratic release pattern yet again.
Really digging the poses and the overall sculpts. Once again, Corvus Belli knocks it outta of the park. This will be a nice addition to my Ops: Icestorm. I’ll still have to grab Ops: Red Veil.
One question does come to mind though. Will we see some kind of expansion for the USAriadna force box as well Carlos? My Rangers need some reinforcements. LoL.
I got the Red Veil box, and find the game great!
My speculative shot missed! I honestly didn’t think we’d be getting expansion packs as a surprise this year. This has got to be the best year yet! Those models are amazing! Dibs on the Nomads And Haqq! Yes…I called dibs!
Def want the Swiss Guard with the Zwiehander! Looks awesome!
If these had been out when I played through Icestorm I’d have snapped it up right away. Do they include a few more tutorial missions? I’m not seeing any way to turn that box in to more terrain.
another amazing group of minis. looking forward to painting more of infinity’s great sculpts.
I am sooo getting Beyond Red Veil for my Yu Jing. Spc Ops looks cool too
I always like the look of the Infinity mini’s.
Kind of bummed that I never get to go to Gen Con. At least there are webstore options!
New kits look great, will definitely be picking up both Beyond… packs to expand the starter game sets.
I absolutely love the design, the depth of detail, that goes into the Infinity models but I would never be able to do them justice. Every time I flirt with the idea of diving into the world of Infinity, those gorgeous models with their fine details chase me away. But this week of Infinity coverage might be what finally breaks me, my feeble painting skills be damned.
Those Nomads looks so AWESOME! I Need to find money for them. That chibi mini and the talk around him…Super Wreck Explorer! Because you don’t explore dungeons in Infinity.
It’s going to be almost impossible not to buy theses boxes!
Looking forward to picking these up. Especially Beyond I.S.
Ugh, now I want red veil to go with my unpainted ice storm. And the expansions. Shiny syndrome certainly is not subtle 🙂
Hell yeah a beast of war week !
These are gorgeous…gimme gimme gimme!!!!!!
Models looks a lot better in the video than on yhe photos. Can’t wait to see them in person.
My Warcor looks after us! he’s already placed orders of these so we can get to see them ASAP!
I love the look haqislam troops
Beautiful minis as usual, standout has to be the Corporate security guy. He is class. Love it. I can see a beyond red veil box in my future, I should really finish painting the Yu Jing from red veil too I suppose. Bring on August.
I must have it all, the wife doesn’t need to know.
Just when I think I’ve gotten away, Corvus Belli always pulls me back in with more sweet sweet models.
This year I started playing Infinity because of operation Red Veil! This expansion is exactly what I need to expand my forces. The models look amazing. In combination with the global campaign Infinity has stolen my previous Games Workshop heart!
Some of these look seriously slick!
Awesome minis as always from CB.
Happy “Beyond” Week!
Yes, Behond Red Veil is for me. Both boxes have gorgeous minis, great work CB!
Well this is great, I just started in Infinity. I’ve got the Yu Jing half of Red Veil, now I don’t even have to think about where to go next!
I love the idea of these sets to help noobs like me. What I don’t see, but hope they include, are more rules to go with these figures. More scenarios would be nice too.
These are looking good.
Oh, I definitely getting the Nomads from the Beyond Icestorm box.
I was already on the Army builder looking at profiles and thinking of wonderful nastiness to do with the figs in the box.
I’m planning to coordinate with friends so that we can get all the boxes we need, so that I can get that wonderful product of the Bakunin Black Labs … err, uh, I mean Chibi Musashi. 😀
I can’t decide if I like the spec ops enough to order direct…
Yes, Nomads came out ahead for sure, unless they do something new with Captain Haqqislam
The one thing that turns me away from Infinity is the while “Limited Edition”/buy NOW marketing. I like to collect minis and paint at my own pace. I also am a bit of a completionist and like to collect ALL the minis.
But when a company does this type of marketing, I realise I can’t collect them all and turn away from a system. It was the same for me with Zombicide (again…how many limited edition minis?).
Does this marketing scheme actually drive sales? If the mini is good (and all the ones here are good), wouldn’t gamers just buy them?
Its the same with “KS Exclusives”, wouldn’t the money used to design a mini for a few be better spent to expand the core game?
Are gamers “elitist”, and demand to be rewarded for dogged company loyalty, or should we go back 10 years and just see minis released to all to enjoy and paint (without having to jump through hoops)?
Sorry for the “rant” all…….
Great looking minis and such a good idea. I can see the need for these in some other gaming systems as well, they’re a great follow up to any 2 player starter box really. You could even package up different box sets to give people a few different options/styles to try.
Do all of those models currently have rules and if not how are the rules being rolled out? Will they be in the box with the models?
infinity army on the CB website mate
Those Angel Giraldez painted minis are mind blowing….that is all I can say.
(drooling all over my keyboard)
I have been planning on expanding my OP:IS for quite a while now. I originally did buy a couple of bits but this …. these sets… oh man. All new sculpts too…. oh man……………
Preorder exclusives are evil Corvus Belli, pure evil. You know, YOU KNOW! it means I have to give you my money. Take it! Take it all damn you! Keep doing the things you do so well!
Real nice models.
Some nice looking models there – still thinking about Infinity.
Love infinity week, more of this!
Both boxes look amazing, will have to pick up Beyond Red Veil!
That Ariadna spec-ops looks amazing.
I started to get a friend into Infinity at my local club and another friend is showing an interest.
He had bought the Icestorm set but never got a game going until the other week with me. I hope these expansions come with scenarios and not just models, to make my efforts to demo the game even easier.
I love the models and had great fun during Operation Flamestrike with a few reports submitted from games with my son, but haven’t played a lot. Even with my limited experience I have always thought that getting beyond the box and into full 300pts games to be a challenge.
Neither Icestorm nor Red Veil really give you enough scenarios to explain the rules like hacking, suppression, group orders, link teams or utilising command tokens to any degree and this makes it hard to leap into full 300 pts games. Those rules examples aren’t even exclusive to a handful of miniatures, they are a key component of getting to enjoy the full experience.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Icestorm and also bought Red Veil and the basic rules are fed to you in bite size chunks, in fun and narrative ways, but it just seems to stop short of preparing you for a the full game.
The store near me has a ton of Infinity and I’ve been drooling over the mini’s since I first saw them. The game play looks fun as well. Unfortunately they closed down their play space due to theft so there’s no more tournaments and no place to play with new people. I want to give Infinity a run for my money, but I need people to play with before I spend a dime.
Stunning models, they almost don’t need a paint job.
Stunning models
Anyone else feel inadequate when it comes to painting skills or is it just me ?
Such cool minis, it’s really tough to choose which ones are the winners! I’d say Haqqislam, that Ragik is fantastic, and the Fiday singlehandedly destroyed all the competition he may have had 😛
Both sets look good. The intruder is my favorite.
Maybe with this i can finally convince my friend to get in on this game. @warzan don’t worry I’ve been known to decapitate a miniature or two.
So much “Eye Candy”, i`m getting eye strain just looking at all those sweet looking mini`s. Not sure which one i would choose as my favourite, but the female mini`s would be top of my list……….There so much more than just eye candy.
I myself like and have two boxes of the 45th Highlanders Rifles “Galwegian`s”, and William Wallace to lead them. The reason i have two boxes of the 45th is………………i`ll build one set how there meant to be, and attempt to convert the other set. Having looked at the mini`s this is not gonna be an easy task, but then again if it was easy everybody would be at it. This all depends on me having “FREE TIME”, but where there`s a will there`s a way.
Corvus Belli, keep the “EYE CANDY” rolling guy`s.
A lot of cool new stuff!
Great models and Angel’s touch brings them to life we all expect. Being fortunate to own a Giraldez, “Busy as a Tech Bee”, from his first book, I am obviously a fan.
Don’t miss a chance to pick a limited edition GenCon Infinity release, besides being a amazing sculpts, they are investments too.
Wow those are awesome!
The Nomad faction minis have sold me on these bundles.
Love the highlighting on that butt texture at 11 minutes. Makes em want to try my hand at painting some of these.
This guys just make the most incredible minis!
I seriously love the “Beyond” idea. Opens up a lot of faction specific options for people who are just getting into the game and want to expand beyond the starter.
Thanks Carlos (and all of Corvus Belli) for caring about your fans and those who play the game right alongside you guys!
I would totally pay extra if box sets came with a dvd with Carlos describing the stuff inside. He sold Ariadna to my wife while she watched over my shoulder. lol
that nomad hellcat! i want it
Absolutely amazing as always AAAA+
Wow, you had me at Chibi Musashi lol. That Ariadna Spec Ops mini will fit in well with my UsAriadna army pack heheh.
I just want those Yu Jing models – they look amazing.
They look so cool, with fabled realms just finishing i may have to wait a little while before picking this one up!
Fantastic models!
I just can’t choose. I have Operation Icestorm, and think both facions there look awesome, and then they released Red Veil, and both those factions look equally awesome as well. And even with these Beyond sets, the choice hasn’t gotten easier…
Looks like a great next step after you get the base game.
The question is, will I want to pick this up at GenCon.
Looks Awesome!
Great looking miniatures. I have backed the Infinity rpg on kickstarter and I am very interested in the background content of the books.
comment
I was actually expecting another new starter box for GenCon, but these expansion sets are still awesome nonetheless!
wish I was going to gencon, so cool
Man the Kamau is lovely, between that and the Bagh Mari I’m tempted to get some Pan O
very nice 🙂 Might have to pick these up
Carlos always brings the sweet toys!
Great sculpts and paint jobs from Corvus Belli as always. Looks to be a good way to help players expand their forces after the starter sets.
I am sooo happy CB have finally issued out a new sculpt for the iconic Fiday. I have been waiting for the new sculpt since 2014 when the new designs started coming out. I am also happy with the other figures for Haqqislam.
The miniatures are gorgeous. I love the game (never played but watched). Love the aesthetic. I’m sure the fluff would draw me in if I knew more about it.
The one thing stopping me jumping into infinity has always been the feeling that I don’t have the skills to do justice to the models.
I really think I need to step out of my comfort zone soon though, and get one of the starter sets.
This was a great idea. I know Icestorm was what got me very invested with the game. It will be nice to revisit it.
Man they look so sweet.
I’d love to get some of those!
Excellent collection. Amazing looking figures.
Love the look of these minis
