Brand new from Infinity – Haramaki
March 24, 2011 in Infinity, Infinity Week, SCI FI Wargaming by beerogre
If you were on-the-ball this week and you were checking out Minirama, you would have seen these Yu jing heavy infantry models being nonchalantly posted by Angel Giraldez.
Haramaki
However, what we didn’t tell you was… they are brand spanking new and not yet released!
What do you think guys?
A ferocious bit of kit or what!

OMG!!!!….I love these guys…
Ooooh! Shiny…. lovely lovely models for my new Yu Jing army.
Too much New Shiny!
Are you kidding me?!? I will be bankrupt soon!
Do these releases make many JSA players extremely happy
Great models well worth the wait.
A Unit of Ninjas now? I wonder if these guys makes a Ninja army more feasible to play?
I’m sorry but they are not ninjas. They are samurai wannabe units in servoarmors. Haramakis are great shock troops for the JSA army that can form a fearsome fireteam. They are fast (which is not common for a heavy infantry) and though (2 wounds like any heavy infantry), wielding short/medium range firepower weapons and being good melee combatants (they have martial arts).
“samurai wannabe units in servoarmors”
Love the description, short and the the very point.
I’ll have to keep dreaming I guess. Still, they look close enough to keep me happy!
Well you can make a Ninja force with Japanese Sectorial but you will have to make a few conversions if you do not want your Ninjas look the same.
Units of Ninjas are a really bad idea, though, thanks to the Inverse Ninja Law.
Ha!
Just read that on wikipedia. Awesome.
They can’t be ninjas. I mean, if you see a ninja, it’s not a ninja.
It be cool to have a special leader for them that would wear the traditional style samurai armour. In any case it looks great from the pics.
Speaking of brand spanking new, they’ll spank alot of other armies by the looks of it.
Oh so pretty! Those are some of the best new minis i’ve seen in a long while, beautiful sculpting. I dont have enough money for all the shiny things i want!
Sweet looking, I like how completely different their aesthetics are to the magister knights despite both serving similiar functions in their respective armies.
AWWWE-SOME!
Angel and guys @ Corvus Belli, as i’ve stated at the offiical forums – you’ve made my day at my birthday this year!=) they are freaking awesome
Bad Ass!
I can’t help it..Go Go Power Raaangeeers!
Though I am not a JSA player I love them! Great poses and as usual from Angel great paint job.
But…. you got it wrong… the true power rangers are the mighty Aleph’s Myrmidons ! xD
Dang! These are sweet! Really like the way Infinity minis are not cartoonish like GW. Thin and nicely proportioned figurines!
Funny you say that about a game admittedly rooted in an anime aesthetic, but I know what you mean
I suppose that could be refering to the tight suits the women wear?
I think, I’ll need a greater flat in the next month, or just a wider room for my miniatures, because I would buy almost everything of the Infinity-range, it’s just awsome and these ones are another example to this.
damn you Corvus Belli!
putting out such nice models while I’m so short on funds…
(*whispers to the model*)
[don't worry my precious... one day I'll return or you...]
These guys are awesome. The minis are sweet (representative of CB’s quality, maybe in the top quarter of what they produce) and on the table the Haramaki are great.
Hope we see more like this in the future!
Knowing these guys will be out next month has made my day!!! I’ve been waiting soooo long to get these guys on a board in my JSA… I mean I’ve only had Domaru, Ninja’s, Karakuri’s, Aragoto’s oh yeah and those Oniwaban to bring the awesome to the party!!! Now if they’d just release my damn TAG and all would be right with the world. I’m not greedy… just demanding
Banzai!!!
SOLD. Gorgeous.
That is Yoshimitsu if i ever saw him. Absolutely amazing model.
I am quite impressed with the JSA and picked up a starter box and these samarai swordsmen today (sorry, a little bit of Dolemite credits snuck in there)
