once again random comment to win random prize!
shapidoinkle!
The multiple 3 members fireteams are very appealing!
3 chances – count me in
Really digging the Tohaa!
The pheromonic language is a very clever idea, ants use a very similar method for communication and being biotech masters make sense to use it. Truly like the fluff and i’ll be nice to see them combined with the Nomads
I really like the armoured models, not so sure on the line troopers, will have to get the starter to ally with my nomads.
Nice, just when me and my friends where talking about starting infinity!!
Seems like a good time to start now!!
Very interested to see the rules for the Tohaa!
Well, it kind of sounds like ‘mass sepsitor’ to me. A little surprised that their light infantry only use standard Combi Rifles. I was hoping for something utterly alien – like Viral/Plasma equipped army. I like the idea of introducing faction specific rules. In the video it said that fire teams are available to all factions…should we expect the Aleph Greek sectorial before the new Mission Book, or is its release linked with the new campaign?
Hello, Sathuli.
The new Aleph sectorial Army, the Assault Sub-Section, formed by the Myrmidons and other miniatures will feature in the Campaign Book.
Ans yes, they will be able to make fireteams.
Have a nice day.
These guys are so enigmatic. I’d like to see more concept art from them!
Now to decide between the Tohaa and Nomads…
Why not just get both haha that would be nice if money isn’t the issue 🙂
Might have to raise some funds to do a painting tutorial for this new faction
I have been tempted and when Tohaa arrive I shall feed that temptation with a new army!!!!
Tohaa seems more and more interesting.
Gorgos? Wonder if it will be heavy or light TAG.
Hey BOW! I’ve been following infinity for some time through your videos and have yet to take the plunge! I’ve been trying to find the right faction for me and, yu jing has seemed like a close bet (those shaolin monks are awesome!) but, not quite! well, after seeing the tohaa and hearing a bit of the fluff, I can definitely say I WILL be picking up that starter (and hopefully more!) once it comes out! Thanks for keeping us informed, and entertained bow!
He talks about how the Tohaa can “exalt” or improve other races, and make them smarter and use them. I wonder if this will show up in the game as a way of having a Tovaa force with some other faction models in them.
It would be nice to be able to start a Tovaa force with the starter box, and then augment them by using some of my Yu Jing until more Tovaa are released. I don’t know if that’s how it will work, but it could be a good way to make the Tovaa easy to expand.
Thanks for clarification on that. I am not sure if it’s the best ‘marketing policy’ – releasing both a new sectorial greatly expanding one faction, and launching a completely new one. I was thinking about branching out into the Aleph for its new sectorial but the new Tohaa also seem like a good choice. Few people will go for both Aleph and Tohaa (both because of the cost and time needed to paint an army), perhaps if the Sectorial came first more people would try it, only to buy the Tohaa later too, unless of course the appearance of the new sectorial is somehow connected with the plot of the new campaign?
Also having visited Barcelona recently, I can’t get over the fact that the guys in Spain have access to so many ‘goodies’ restricted to the Spanish market only. I was green with envy seeing autographed rule books with great graphics and hearing that after the tournament in Galicia there might be a chance to see the CB headquarters/factory.
Are there any plans for wider support of Infinity abroad? Looking at it from the perspective of Poland, I am interested if you have any plans for a Polish translation or any events or support policy in foreign markets. If you’re on a little ‘marketing tour’ please visit us in Warsaw. 😉
I felt a bit stupid when making all the measurements in inches instead of centimeters only because the book used in Poland is the English one. I am sure there is a lot of potential customers/players as Wargaming in general is probably as popular in Poland as it is in Spain. The lion’s share of the market is ‘owned’ by GW, though.
Multiple link teams for the vanilla list? I’m guessing they’re gonna be ridiculously defensive so. And those models are epic, hope they come out next month
good stuff
i really like these new guys i think they will play very diffrently form my ariadna
I hope we see some enlightened troops in the army too that are non-humanoid.
I am really excited about this!
TOHAAAAAAAAAA!
Awesometits
Every great scifi setting needs mysterious aliens and Tohaa fit right in. I really like the Clipsos model, but even the normal troops are extremely nice.
I hope there is a good explanation in the Fluff why the different Human Armies are fighting the Tohaa if they are allied, because it would be rather silly to only fight the Combined Army-Players.
Tohaa backround has so much depth.
I’ve been wanting to get into infinity for a little bit now. A prize pack might be the push I need…;D
great stuff looking forward to getting this new book just so i can play through the campaign 😀
Very nice style. A cool combination of sophisticated tech use and visceral battle-lust.
Wow, the Tohaa sound cool!
More bad guys? Well, not as bad as the Combined Army, but…
Hey, where are the good guys in Infinity? Ok, it´s fine. I suppose nothing is black or white…
There are no good or bad guys in infinity, just shades of gray, even the combined, cannot be viewed as bad guys from their point of view they are doing the right thing and whoever is under them benefits too.
Thonga – Smart smelly aliens with nr “3” Fetish … -_-‘
end ability to impriove sombodys mind …. i need them to abduct my goverment end improve them – badly …. NOW !! (before is to l8)
I like this video. I wish it could have been combined with the shorter faction introduction video somehow.
Have answers to the questions of existence and play with the evolution of other species, may deploy allied races, seems like protoculture with a bit of the Tau to me.
more T.A.G.’s
….AMAZING MODELS……REALLY COOL FLUFF……HELL YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!
their not for the ca, oh !£$&
Very interesting!
Wow I really like the looks of the toha. The background story is cool to, trying to ally with humanity and discovering that it is easy to lie to us. Could wind up being a powder keg for them though considering how unpredictable and volitile humans can be.
I have to be hones here. Althoug new models are always good, I would prefere them to finish the modelranges of the existing factions instead of introducing a new one. But since they have made a really good job so far regarding model quality as well as the , so I could elease ratio, I am still very positive.
By the way, I already spend my monthly alowance so I could really need this mystey price of yours 😉
Always had a thing for the number 3. The new triple teams look sweet.
Those symbiotic armours are AWESOME!! I wanna see more o.0
Holy crap, another prize?
This sounds like an interesting race.
Awesome again! My son (12 years Old) already saves his money for the Tohaa Starter.
I’ll stay with my Haqquislam, Tohaa seems to bit a little to elven-style for me.
tohaa fluff seems interesting. Again good job Corvus!!
The Combined Army will put the Tohaa in their place!
I love that table! And another faction of gorgeous figures to collect.
…more awesome minis from CB for my painting/playing enjoyment. The Tohaa look and sound better and better.
I still wonder if the Tohaa TAG will be a true TAG or will it be one of their “enhanced/evolved” ally races…a big critter would be cool….then CAs Caskuda wouldnt be the only one.
Kind of a cool faction but I think I will stick with my Yu Jing.
Great, Infinity has excellent background. One grounded in strict science fiction. There is a.i., hackers and a background of many current nations in the future. There is no “magic” or otherwise fluff pasted in this background to patch up things.
Great job Corvus Belli. Keep it up!
hmmm, been considering trying infinity for a while now; those tohaa look mighty tempting.
The Mystery prize is the Gorgos. Make this happen.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’m really digging these guys. The models look incredible(which is no suprise) and the fluff sounds super cool. Oh, and I can finally link up my myrmidons 🙂
I’ve been really good at holding back expanding beyond the 5 factions I have, but the more I hear about the Tohaa, the more I look forward to getting them as my 6th faction.
Biotechnological Numerologists symbiontically enhanced… Who could want more? Great fluff and great model design so far. I cannot wait to read their profiles!
For sure my next faction!!
Another random question. Will there be spec ops for Tohaa too in the book?
Looking forward to seeing their play style. Perhaps a battle rep at the end of the week with the new faction?
sounds like smaller units, higher power…nice.
I think the Tohaa sound great. I really like the idea that they’re not prefect little princesses but have some skeletons in their closet. Enslaving races to “exalt” them sounds awesome. Also can’t wait to see their Tag. Gorgos… sounds nasty…
Seems a worthy addition to the flavorfull Infinity background.
Just bought my nomads starter to get into the game… And then this awesome new faction appears?! Lol, I just want to paint and play everything Infinity! Btw everyone, Infinity have some awesome discounts going on right now for the rulebooks and army packs. Just check out their site! I also really hope I win that prize….. 😛
I finally have to build a new table, arg so much to do.
Any Kiwis out there get in touch with me im really keen to get some NZ infinity going!
Sculptor dedicated to Tohaa- really awesome. Multiple fire teams- crazy awesome. More TAGs- just awesome. Thank you CB!
I like the idea of the aliens being based around three. Kind of like War of the worlds (the book not the most recent movie). Carlos looks a bit tired btw.
Finally another non-human army, nice
Been looking to get into this game for a while now. I think this faction will get me to take the jump. Now I just have to convince my friends to join in too.
Interesting with the multiple fire teams.
I still havent finished my Pano yet though.
I’m getting a really interesting vibe from the Tohaa. I really like the unique direction that they’re heading. They are becoming much more than generic Space Elves, even if I like Space Elves.
great video guys!
Lots of new possibilities here.
nice sounding stuff
These guys seem really interesting and different from the rest of the line. I’m excited.
I am delighted by their background, biotechnology masters and numerophilosophers, great and I was just reading about mathematics as the universal language.
I love how they interact in the universe and how their ecology is set up.
Well i like what i heard. Maybe this will be my second Army 🙂
we playing TAG?
Infinity does it again. Totally awesome!!!
These guys seem cool, really want the book NOW!!
3 give aways tonight
How very Tohaa
Maybe third time lucky for me?
Should be interesting to see what new stuff comes in the book.
This looks just tohaatally cool…
*grabs coat*
Each new product from Infinity is better then the previous. Keep us up to date BoW. 🙂
Who says I can’t get lucky? 🙂
I ma left feeling very excited about the new Campaign book release and the Tohaa starter army box set now : ) Thanks BOW for the awesome coverage and looking forward to the next awesome video : )
I am now hoping the giveaway prize will be the Tohaa bow set lol ; )
Cheers
Looking forward to the new faction and models!
So many races, such a difficult decision to start with just one… or two… well maybe just three 😉
The background for the Tohaa seem pretty awesome so far on what i’ve heard.
Multiple 3 man fire teams and awesome models. I like it
Love this army, really dig the aesthetic of the armor and kit. Think I can safely say I’ll be starting a new army.
impresive the new race. I will try it!
meow for prize
Always nice to have a new army to vanquish, all hail the combined army!!
Well, I think it will not be hard to justify them fighting any other force. Just like it´s not hard to make any human force fight against Aleph Forces. The dual aspects of each faction, plus the motivations on sectorial armies, make it so that you can even make sectorials inside the same forces, or the same forces fight without so much of an effort. (Intrigue, infowar, dark dealings, all come to mind. My Yu Jing Army is made of vanilla troops, an Imperial Service Sectorial and a JSA Sectorial, I an play them together, as separate sectorials, and even against each other with no fluff problems, specially considering the separatist fluff I got going for my JSA army. They are not happy japanese.) So, like, you could make a team trying to uncover some Tohaa plot on mind controlling key figures of state, if you like the “light side” of your army, or an agressive information gathering (With possible samples taken dead or alive), on a darker side of the things. I can bet there are several Bakunin Scientists and Haqquislamite scientists interested on the new pheromone applications the Tohaa phisiology and technology can bring about (And also see how reluctant our alien “friends” could be on sharing).
Given the Tohaa wishes to have an ‘alliance’ with Humanity, I wonder if Tohaa ‘advisors’ will appear in human lists?
Symbiotic armor sounds… AWESOME! Is it mind control, or exaltation? Interesting, very very iiiiiiiiiinteresting.
i had to go and buy my first starter the day before this announcement
Another xeno faction damn I’m getting them.
I’m liking the look!
Hmmm, the ability to take multiple link teams as a sort of racial ability seems pretty cool. I’m wondering if they will be something akin to Haris link teams, and if more Haris link teams will be showing up with the new book.
The Tohaa seem really great. Look forward to painting some up.
I LOVE CARLOS!!!
yeah! we love carlos!!! xD
Interesting
Tohaa looks very interesting, I think it will be a fun addition to the already rather solid range, both gamingwise and collectingwise.
I like multiple “triad” linked teams idea. And tohaa look interesting to play. Models grat as always.
So the Tohaa seems like another step to make the game team based instead of a true skirmish… I don’t like where this is going.
I hope I could win the prize 😉 infinity is such a great game !
Hmm… I want to see how the tag interacts with the rest of the army.
Nice table
love the background snippets of the tohaa…
Great job on creating detailed and different background to a new faction that has lots of different aspects I will certainly be tempted to get these guys
A little elfy, but fluff is cooler than I thought it would be and special rules might make them very interesting.
I am assuming that this video and accompanying competitiuon is not a Tohaa attempt to lie to us gullible humans – we can get violent you know!
Great to see new development for Infinity – probably my most played wargame at present.
Well, guess my ALEPH has just been relegated to second tier army and Tohaa will no nr1. 🙂 Love the fluff and the minis.
They are cool, can have unlimited fireteams of three men, but i think they are more overpower than others armies and more playable than others. I can´t wait t have it Xd
I like where this is going!
+1 for mystery prize to me!
The moment has come. Liking these guys.
lovely miniatures! And multiple fireteam, mmmh… I must try that army!
Common show us Tohaa TAG art or something! :<
So… I suppose I’d better get those Nomads painted up before I can justify a third Infinity army!!
If I want to play with the bad guys, I play with the Combined Army… if I want to play with the worse guys, I play Tohaa.
Selenio.
40k has been dying down at my local club with Infinity and WHFB taking its place. I’ve been on the fence with Infinity for a while now however it was the sneak preview of the campaign book that really really piqued my interest, after I finish off paying back some of my loan/debt I’ll be looking at grabbing some Yu Jing.
Also BoW guys if you’re reading this for the last 2-3 months whenever I watch a video on this site it starts off fine but after maybe 40 seconds into it (the video) shifts to the right and I can’t see half of what’s going on. I don’t have this problem when I watch your vids via Youtube. I’m using the latest version of Google Chrome. It didn’t used to happen, do you know how I fix it? Thanks 🙂
Gimme the loot!
CB has given the Tohaa a pretty intriguing background. Considering how the Combined Army has been built up in previous fluff, anyone that can stand up against them must be pretty bad a$$.
The models do look quite good. Although, I haven’t quite made up my mind about the textured symbian armour. I must see them in person before making final judgement.
Either way, I’m really excited for a new race in the infinity universe!
Very interesting! Love the fluff.
I have to say that I like what I hear about them and I guess that soon I will start collecting new faction
I haven’t started Infinity yet, but this week might push me to start. Looks Great.
I’m looking forward to hearing more about the Tohaa’s biotechnological warfare rules. Other than viral weapons, what else is there going to be?
…wow…sounds fantastic! Guess they could very easily be my second faction…:DD
Nice!
yeah a whole new faction i like
Yes please 🙂
Awesome miniatures for the new army.
Viral…. Viral weapons everywere… ^^
Yeay, 3 men fire teams nice. But what got my attention is the Gorgon? It sounds like a BIG and I mean BIG Tag, maybe in the shape of Godzilla, or even King Kong. Hmmm I wonder!!!!
Watch out CA here we come.
Brother G
The multiple 3 man fire teams is really tempting me to start a Tohaa army, but I’m not sure I like the faces…
Tohaa, This may just get me startes with infinity! 🙂
Nice looking minis and an interesting background!
Give me mystery prize plz
There are so many interesting factions/models in infinity, I am really struggling to decide where I would start!
I might have to start playing Infinity.
I need to see what else is there before these guys become my second army.
These tohaa dudes sound pretty baadass! I already like the looks of em. They’re certainly better than the scummy earthling / humans scum suckers! (sooory Human race….)
Can’t wait for september!
looks very nice…….. i would be very glad to see more miniatures from the tohaa, becouse i think they will look very niche in some more colourfull paintig style……
My fifth faction? Possibly. Probably.
This will be my second army DEFINITELY!!
Tohaa seemingly have some really cool fluff. I love the idea of an incredibly advanced biotech army.
awww man these look cool
One of the things that really draws me to Infinity is that many of the factions are not so black and white when it comes to good and evil. As a fan of the Bakunin sectorial, I can see how most would view them as criminals (especially given their history), but it seems now as though they have a “good” intent in their battles with Aleph who they see as repressing human freedoms. These shades of grey make the Infinity setting feel more real.
I love how symbiotic armour look like.
I don’t know why but every time I study the “bat” man infantry males I keep envisioning them as a RPG character…for what game I don’t know but I wants them.
Interesting background for some superb mini’s. Well done Corvus Belli.
Comment for the win! 😛
The Tohaa looks and feels very fresh! Could end up as my third Infinity faction after Tunguska and Aleph… 😀
Already like them much more than the Combined Army.
Tohaa!
Would love to see a Batrep of the Tohaa and the new Aleph Sectorial Army that I hope gets announced. Maybe even as part of the campaign. wink…wink…
I wanna see Tohaa TAG…
It’s nice that Tohaa is just like every faction in Infinity fluff, not black or white, I really like it in this game. But why the most inteligente species in the universe have combi rifles..? I know it’s just a rule, but they could have something different, symbiotic weapons like armors…that would be cool.
A new Alien faction.. I like the way my MAF force plays.. can’t wait to get the new book and get more information on the Tohaa.
Multiple three man fireteams, damn the army will be hell to fight aigainst in ARO.
ahhh, the offer of free things… there is no greater motivator
I dont really like the tohaa, they are like fish-headed humans, they could fit in bakunin 😛
lets hope the rules are awesome.
Sweet, can’t wait to get my hands on these guys.
These guys sound pretty awesome…
I’m looking forward to Exalted Nomads 🙂
I like the idea of a new alien race with option of using lesser races (as cannon fodder no doubt).
Finally a new alien race…they are awesome.
Great! Yet more ways to spend money I don’t have. 🙂
I very much like how every faction in Inifinity isn’t just black or white, but has some good points and some bad, depending on perspective.
Keep up the good work!
yeah me too
Great new race! A very strong “nomad feeling” on them… Does the Fluff explains the similarity of nomads and Tohaa badges?
infinity price!!!
hopefully going to be playing some infinity in the gaming club in the near future 🙂
Very interesting race. Love the good guys/bad guys dichotomy.
New alien faction, got to be a winner! reminding me of forerunners a bit, just a first impression
Will be tohaa the third “faction”?
Miniatures of Tohaa are strange, but the background looks amazing, i’d like to see how they behave on the battlefield.
Background reminds me of David Brins Uplift Universe… old races ensuring servitude of younger ones by uplifting them.
I am curious what kind of “beasties” we are going to see. Smart move from CB: now they can introduce some cool looking models, that don’t fit in with other armies.
I dunno if I’m enthusiast for the new faction. The look seems very cool though and by the way a new alien/not human faction will mix the fluff for the better, we’re heading for a less human sphere for a more wider slice of the universe. it’s for the better or the best we’ll see undoubtly ^^
Great vid. I’m looking forward to the new faction.
Always nice with another faction, and this one looks interesting. Don’t care musch for the official paint-jobs on the figures, but thet is a personal thing, and won’t stop me from painting them in any way I chose.
man i want me some of these
Wonder why he didn´t say Space Vampires after Space Monkeys, Space Gypsis and Space Ninjas…
The Tohaa would great with a more dark color scheme. They look very similar to YuJing in colors, that said the sculpts of the models are great
This is my comment. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
