Great
I’m first here !!
I really love This game,
and very happy that Bow gives to Aristeia
the space that it deserves
Looks great! It is everything that Arena-Planet Solaris VII for BattleTech should have been but never was *sigh*
I would love to know when and where they will be having tournaments. Hopefully we will see some here in the US. Not gonna lie, I was not interested until I watched this video.
Played the game at GenCon – was super fun!
Awesome. I’ve been looking forward to this release
I can’t wait more! I want it!
I have just played 1 demo but I’m already hooked!
Looking good, can´t wait for more videos 🙂
Wish they were more transparent about the plastic minis. I have nothing against them in principle…. but you should advertise THOSE not the limited metal ones…
not an elegant move….
Looking forward to the content this week. Can’t wait to get my copy!
Looks really good so far! Can’t wait for a detailed how to/gameplay video for it :)!
i love the minis i wish i could afford the metal version :). i cant wait to see the rest of the expansion for Aristeia and want to build my own 3D board to play this game go Infinity
I love this game!! looking forward to the entire season 2018
Those are amazing models, especially considering this is CB’s first go at plastic.
This game looks so awesome, I can’t wait to receive my copy.
any chance i can get HEXX3R mini ? i want her to paint :).
The hardest decision for me is which company’s “pimp my game” accessories to go with.
customeeple makes great accessories for aristeia. I probably will get me some of them as soon as I have some games under my belt, most of my infinity tokens are from them.
I live under a rock, too much to do at work. 🙂 That’s part of why I watch BoW, so I can find out that products like this exists.
Already tested the game and I am a big fan!
I can’t wait to have my copy!
This is definitely on my Christmas list
Picked up the collector’s edition, can’t wait!
Ah can’t wait to smell my copy!
Justin not fair!
The collectors edition is ordered, but it will be withheld until the end of December. … darn holidays ; )
Super interested in this game, especially after watching the Guerilla Minis Let’s Play.
seems a really nice game. I will wait to see some playtroughs though to decide wether I like it or not.
Can’t wait to learn more about Aristeia this week.
I really like that this is more of a gladiator game, because we already have Dreadball, Guildball, and Blood Bowl that are more “-ball” oriented.
I crawled out from under my rock.
I am soooo up for this.
I can smell it from here.
Got my collector’s edition on Saturday but won’t get a chance to play till Friday – gonna try and get the gorgeous plastics painted before then…
Really excited to play this! The early buzz around it makes it sound really fun!
Preodered. Hope it will be a blast!
Looks good!
Fan of the Infinity setting and glad that they release a game that explores another aspect of the setting1
It´s a great game, fun, tactical and with lot of combinations, we love it at my comunity.
Looking forward to some playthroughs.
Those models are awesome! A basing upgrade would really set the miniature off. The models alone are worth the purchase.
Looks like fun. Good blend of board game and miniatures.
More miniatures by Corvus Belli are more win for every miniature gamer (or collector).
Plus, the game is really nice: one of the easy to learn, hard to master games.
Looks interesting. I will keep an eye out for the Lets Play.
Those minis are gorgeous! So many Infinity proxy opportunities!!!
Had the chance to try it at Essen… This game is my new box that never get out of my gaming bag for the nights with fiends…
Hope I can do these models justice.
Looks like a lot of fun. Seems like a great gateway into Infinity, and I am personally excited about the possibility of cross pollinating some the miniatures between both game systems.
Infinity meets The Running Man! What’s not to like!
Looks interesting, and plastic models seem ok, but more images of them would help
Really looking forward to this game!
But what I really like in CB videos here, is the enthusiasm of Carlos. It’s like he makes me wanna get all things Infinity 😀
Xmas is coming. Thks guys
mmmh, this game seems really insteresting, and I’ll see more of Aristeia!
Can’t wait for a demo game, indeed! ^_^
looks interesting
this looks awesome, really looking forward to know the game play and mechanics.
This looks really good, can’t wait to see more of the game this week.
Looks great, glad I preorderd
Okay, I’m going to be paying attention to Aristeia Week.
Having such a nice, thin rulebook is really cool!
Those pictures in the booklet… when are we getting an Aristeia! Manga from Kenny Ruiz?
Interesting. Need to look at this a bit more
Well this is great timing. For once I have the game in my hands as the game’s week is running on BoW.
My Collectors Edition was delivered and waiting for me when I got home this afternoon!
Can’t wait to start painting the characters.
I think I’m going to make a Stadium set piece to place around the board for that Grand Arena look.
I will have mine this friday… really excited! It´s a pitty the price for the collector edition because as an Infinity fan and having a painting studio devoted mostly to Infinity, I would really wanted them in metal, Giraldez told some words about it.
Yesss. im the lucky winner!!!…. was i??? 🙂
Looking forward to the rest of this week and finding out more about aristeia
the figures look great.
Just love that suomo-panda!
Sooo intrigued about the game play with the specialized dice. Seems straight forward and quick to get into. Also, loving the figure design. Curious how the plastics will hold up but very excited to get started playing Aristeia!
Very cool box set. I wonder if any of the models can be used in Infinity?
Well, Musashi and Lunah are mercenaries, so you could use those models as alternative figures for them, although they already have gorgeous metal models, some of the other could fit as proxies for some troops, 8-Ball could be a Chimera and Wild Bill would do a great bounty hunter, specially paired with Sforza who already gives a western vibe
The plastic minis are superb, and I totally agree with Justin, their “average” painter is definitely not my average….maybe we need to check the Spanish word for average. The paint jobs on those minis are insane by my standards….
It would be great if we could get a video tutorial on how to do that “average” painting.
Looks fun. Will be looking to find a demo game somewhere.
I love the quality of the plastics. Has me wondering if they will in the future make plastic minis for Infinity.
in a word, no. Carlos has assured us that won’t happen
Looking really nice… especially the work of this “average” painter -.-“
This one has me really psyched.
What I find very impressive in this game is that the faces of the models are very detailed. Often in miniature games, the faces looks swollen and barely match the characters’ illustrations. The only one that looks a little off is probably 8-Ball and that’s because he has a big smile on the art, while on the mini his face appears to be smaller. Now my only problem is that I suck at painting and I have to find someone to do a decent job on them.
Looks like great fun. Watched several playthroughs and it seems brilliant, can’t wait though for the BoW guys playthrough. Definitely going on Christmas list.
I already played a demo game and it was a lot of fun. I can see this game becoming very tactical once a few of the expansions are out.
I absolutely love the artwork. The plastic miniatures I find ‘okay’. The sculpts are great, but the plastic has a tendency to bend.
I would like it if I could get the rules and cards separately and just create my own ‘counts-as’ team out of my Infinity collection.
I tried it at Essen, and eagerly awaiting my copy to arrive. Great game.
I really like the look of the miniatures for this game. The quality of the models In the core game seemed very good. Hope to get a game in at the weekend to have a play through, rather than just have the game decorating the dining table.
I’d really like to try this game out, so I hope I win!! 🙂
I can’t wait to crack open my copy!
The plastic miniatures are as good as metal detal-wise I think. I will stick to plastic as they chip less. 😀
Looking forward to a good gameplay video on this, I really like the concept but waiting for the execution.
The game looks great. Looking forward to learning more about it this week.
I would have loved to have seen the collectors edition …. oh well I will just have to wait for mine to be delivered 🙂
I had been looking at this as a way into the Infinity universe and was really suprised to hear that its available already? did not know that, nip off the the FLGS to check it out!
Looking forwards to the rest of the week now!
Interesting. I’m excited to give this a try…
Wonder if we will get some morat love…
Aristea looks good
minis are looking good. looking forward to seeing play through s.
I cannot wait to get my hands on this.
I can’t wait to be able to field a full Nomad force. So many cool looking models.
Wow that’s a great looking game lots in the box and reasonable price
Looks good. The most powerful thing for me was the paintjob from the “average painter”. We all know Angel’s pantjob look astonishing, but seeing something closer to what I’d manage is heartening.
Big shout out to whoever chose the music for the promos and intro. It is infectious and a one of the best “jock jams” I’ve heard in a long time. It’s a hit on every level.
This game looks very fun. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos.
A great offer for such price!
I wasn’t sure about if I wanted this or not. Now I absolutely sure I do. Give it to me now.
Comment to win?! Yes please I would love to get my hands on this!
CB makes good stuff!
Interesting that this came out at roughly the same time as shadespire. Lots of parallels. Two board game/miniature skirmish game/deck building card game hybrids.
Looks interesting. Not sure I have room on my life for both though.
Really interested in this game. Loving the CB sculpts in plastic as I’ve just spent my evening sticking antennas and arms back on my Infinity models. The plastic looks fantastic and much more robust for this type of game.
Looks like I may be buying a new game for the holidays!
Looks like a great game.
Minis are lovely as they always are from Corvus Belli..
I’m so nutz I watched this twice! That is a mighty fine and colorful box! Reminds me of games like Wipeout and F-Zero.
Those models paint up so nice. The bare plastic ones remind me a little of some of my less impressive mantic kickstarter rewards so its nice to see how well they turn around.
I’m going to need to see if my FLGS is running the league.
GIMME GIMME GIMME! …… I got cash? Or beans? Magic beans no less! Your choice……just gimme the shiny thing!
Looks like a fantastic game!
God, that looks lovely.
As anything CB makes.
I pre-ordered Aristeia, which arrived this week. Haven’t had a chance to play it yet. The cardboard components are good. The tokens are a little small. I’d have preferred them a little bigger. The plastic miniatures have excellent detail and a lot of character. Unfortunately, they are let down by the basing. One figure came loose from the base. I’m actually grateful for that as I’ve been able to easily get it based properly. None of the figures were based well. The bar that runs across the feet of each figure has been glued hap-haphazardly into each base so that none are flat. Each rises above the base in each case. Feet float suspended in the air. One of the figures angles backwards. It would have been better for them to have come separately so you can base them yourself. I know that they were aimed at a play out of the box and that’s fine if you don’t care about how the figure looks or aren’t going to paint them. It’s a shame given how impressive the sculpts are.
Looks good
Thanks for the content
This looks great.
Gotta love these unboxing vids where you spend the first X minutes just vibrating in the seat going “GET TO THE MINIS!”
This looks like a beautiful game
These look great
This game rox!
Aristeia looks promising!
A week late to the party but this just looks awesome.
Awesome miniatures!
I’d sure love to unbox Aristeia! 🙂
The game looks awesome!
Aristeia is a lovely game!
Nice game
Take my money!! This looks so good. Cant wait 🙂
