Infinity 3rd Edition 300 Point Battle Report Part 1
October 17, 2014 by crew
We've been bringing you guys and gals videos all week about rule changes in Infinity 3rd Edition and now it's time to see some action!
In this 300 point Battle Report Carlos from Corvus Belli takes on our very own Killian in a mission that escalates into a fight to the death.
Carlos is rocking a 300 point Nomads army while Killian is taking to the field with the PanO; again a 300 point army.
Incidentally the armies you see here are a match for the armies you could be fielding if you win our 55K Facebook Likes Challenge (Click Here for Details).
Also if you like the look of the District 5 Gaming Mat it's from Micro Art Studio and the Silhouette Templates are from another cool terrain company called Warsenal.
Remember to comment for your chance to WIN 4 expansion packs. Enjoy the show and make sure you watch Part 2!
So, how quickly will the Nomads hack something?
Well that’s my lunch hour sorted
Damn you – all these videos are distracting me from important work…
… which is to build and paint Op:Ice now it’s finally arrived!
This is what I’ve been waiting all week for 🙂
I swear Lloyd always chooses my most derpy face for these cover photos.
No, it’s an epic choice and it helps the cover photo look like an (intentionally) cheesy poster for a big boxing or wrestling title match 😉
One Night Only, ONE NIGHT ONLY!
It’s the match you’ve been waiting for, Killian “The Octopuss” Mc Keever faces off against Carlos “The Sledgehammer” Lorenzo in a 5 round, no rolls barred fight to the death!
Who will win in this clash of dice and tiny metal men!
It’s now time to test those rules …. Cooool
good idea to include hackers in the tutorial
Carlos and his FIST OF DOOM (see still image above) will most definitely lead his Nomad force to victory over Killian and his rag tag group of Pano Misfits! Very exciting!! Never played before but just got Operation Ice Storm in the mail..Now to figure out how to put these together lol. Then play my first game! Painting will need to wait because I have no idea how and I have no paints, but I really want to learn. Wish there were classes or something in the Arizona area…
Have been waiting for this
i Need an extra scenery pack, lovely board.
Finally the Batrep is here ! 😀 Still 30 minutes or so to watch, can’t wait also the part 2 !
By the way, Iguana is the Tag I love the most, the pilot that ejects from it and continue to fight, simply wonderful !
I really need more time with my friends so we can add this game to our roster.
Great! Can’t wait the part 2!
So very long V-BR, if I remember well Killian it’s a Nomad player so playing the PanO can be a bit of upsetting to him. A very interesting infos nonetheless is that you need around 4 Moto.tronica Scenery sets to build up a really dense table at around 41€ RRP it’s a fair cheap deal totally worth the monnies! I bet you to find so much bangs for bucks anywhere.
The BR is maybe over explained and full of step by step for a more experienced player but for newbies I suppose it totally fits.
Theres an amusing typo on the end graphic (1:04:18) ‘commad tokens’…
Still excellent game and I like Carlos ‘humble’ attitude towards the situation, still I am a bit surprised Killian moved the Jotum so far forward without bringing up other troop(s) to cover it.
Loving this battle report!
Nice tribute to Brucie there from Carlos.
I’m a winner
Definitely want to paint up my icestorm set now…
Very cool Bat Rep, waiting eagerly for Part 2
Umm – try watching it to the end on YouTube and you might find a suprise!
I love Carlos’ smack talk!
DAT LAST HACKING ROLL!
Very happy to see distances and ranges being measured from edge to edge.
Fight!
Tag possession! Nasty!
Gecko seam beter then iguana now 🙂
Carlos is always great in these demo games, I love his enthusiasm
Boom, what a showcase. Shan’t spoil it but man, gotta get me some Intervenors for my (New) Nomads.
Am loving the week and a battle just adds to the excitement for N3
Pandas ! Maybe I can get my wife to play this after all
GO Nomads !! oh and i just got my ice storm deliver to me to day
I had exactly the same problem with the CSU last night using Nomads. She really is a pain in the backside….
vote carlos, Mr. humble himself lol . very detailed br great for newbies like myself.
I have enjoyed infinity week opened my eye to an interesting game
Looks really neat, especially after the battle report. Considering the lovely designed and marvelously detailed miniatures, I should give Infinity a try. Thanks a lot for the Infinity 3rd edition week. Informative and and entertaining.
Great bat rep. The CSU was awesome 😉
Wow nice vid I’m really enjoying the battle 🙂
Knowing nothing about infinity this seems really complicated, I can’t follow this at all.
I need to get an iguana and try it out.
Nice batrep, great way to end the week
Thanks guys: not only are you giving us a preview at all ne jucy new rules, but you also show us, how they work in context. BoW and CB forever!
(do I sound like a Fanboy??? Naaaaah!)
Hackers gonna hack
Look extremely fun.
Interesting new trick:)
Awesome battle report so far looking forward to part 2
Go PanO!
To battle!
Carlos seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Very humble.
Great video so far looking forward to the rest of the battle!
Give me that Jotum!
the CSU has a 360° line of sight hasn’t she?
That was one dangerous CSU. Great battle rep looking forward to part 2
I’m torn – I want to cheer for Killian, but I kinda want Pan-O to have their butts served to them on a platter!
Killian, you should comment so you can win! I’m going to guess Carlos has played way more Infinity 3rd.
Great to watch while painting up my ice storm set.
Watching Carlos getting all animated is hilarious! He is such a good front-man for Corvus.
I think they are forgetting that combi-rifles are only -3 out to 32″ now, unless that has changed. I love the expanded hacking rules, but worry there are too many counters for it now, and reduced stats on possessed TAGs seems harsh considering how difficult it is to POS in the first place.
Uhmmm why killian didnt use the drop jump puck guy ?
thought the same… it could have wreck havoc to his fusilers reverend or the far hacker
I was convinced he’d have it combat drop onto the central objective building at the last minute.
It’s still turn 1; surprise that hacker and flip the tables for turn 2 🙂
Oops, I think we’ve spoiled part 2 for you. *sheepishly holds hand up and apologises*
So excited about third ed… these videos were a great distraction as I painted my NeoTerrans and made some scratch built terrain… Now I’ll need something else to keep me hyped.
Incredible luck, Bostria, It seems the dice love the CB staff
Nice to see it in action makes it easier to understand te new stuff by seeing it.
I’ll have to get those expansion boxes one way or another
I can see the need for dense terrain now to avoid ridiculously long chains of AROs!
brilliant first round lots of humble pie eaten he he 🙂
Nice dice, my my the dice Gods need to interfere don’t they
Nice to see all the information we have been given this week come together in a battle report 🙂
Great looking table and informative Bat Rep.
oh wow that was fast and deadly, carlos. it reminds me of my last games in infinity with my beloved combo tarik mansuri, lasiq sniper and my beloved fiday. now the infinity feaver is back on me and iam looking forward to part two of the batrep. 🙂 very cool first part and well played booth of you.
I cant wait to get my Op:I in the mail today! N3 looks like its going to be great.
I have been waiting for this all week!
Carlos doesn’t understand the phrase “do your worst.”
Responds to Killian by saying “like you.”
i laugh. Cha cha cha.
UPS just told me my copy of O:I was delayed and won’t be delivered today! 🙁
that first part was incredible! soo many twists and turns you wouldn’t expect to see!! you can’t write that stuff!
love hacker
I know how you feel, Kilian. My last game of infinity was just like that. Could’t hit the inside of a barn.
Awesome!
Part 2! Where’s part 2?!
Hurry up and release it already, I want to play it 🙂
Finally, the full (and quite massive) battle report. Thanks for all the effort, guys!
Looks like PanO has some difficulties…
Good to see the rules in action. Roll on December!
I have 4 days off time for some ICE me thinks ……wohahahahaaaaaaaaaa (evil laugh just in case u were wondering)
Liking Hackers!
Carlos is hilarious. Also Killian was a bit too aggressive with his tag knowing all the defenses Carlos has.
Great video, thank you guys!
I love batreps!
I love Carlos in this video, he is invincible.
Im really glad they showed a full game. Helps bring everything together.
Great Vid guys.
Go Nomads!
I’ve waited so long for a good batrep from BoW! And this didn’t disappoint. Carlos is really letting loose. Love it.
Excellent vid, had its funny moments. Can’t wait for the next one.
That hack was epic!
a lot of fun!
Another great video by the BoW team. Loving Infinity week. Keep up the excellent work!
That was slightly on the long side but completely understand why 🙂 generally well worth sitting through though what an ending to round one.
Part 2 please
just love the new rules 🙂
Getting back into infinity, and looking forward part 2
Best video so far! Need part 2 now!
Cant wait for 3rd ed.
Go on nomads. Dirty pan o scum.
Waiting for part 2.
watch to the end. link to part 2
its game time
Nice! Apparently, N3 is going to be a blast. I’m really excited.
Just noticed Carlos keeps calling the Reverend Healer his “Reverend Custodier”. 🙂
He sure likes hackers a lot. ^^
Wow, I’m loving infinity week. cant wait until 3rd edition rules arrive
Great job, fun game!
Did I win?
I’m super excited, I’m going to be painting up the box this weekend and my CSU trooper will hopefully be as much as a pain as the one in the video.
Beautiful. I cannot wait.
Thanks for Infinity week.
unless i am mistaken Killian didnt use his Sikh commando. im hoping im right here.
could have been a completley diffrent game!
It was only the first turn. I am sure the commando will be coming down
Very entertaining battle report, really enjoyed watching those two duke it out. Makes me even more excited for N3!
Great stuff as always
Cool game. And the table looks pretty good.
Awesome report, it’s fun to see the hacking work.
Looks great, but I wish they gave some other ideas on how to expand Icestorm into 300 points. Each of the TAG/hacker box options given are roughly $75 for two troops, two remotes, and a TAG. Almost the price of Icestorm itself to expand a single faction.
The really weird thing is why they used a 2’x3′ mat in Icestorm rather than either a 4’x4′ standard size, 2’x4′ half mat, or even just a 2’x2′ quarter map. That would make it much easier to expand out to full size.
Great battle report so far, top finish to another informative infinity week. When is next part out?
Amazing battle report !
Absolutely fantastic ! I wish Battle reports were always this good 🙂 can’t wait to get going with Infinity finally.
Great vid sofas, can’t believe some of the lucky and unlucky roles, That’s what makes it so much fun 🙂
Great walkthrough!
Great report guys.
Excellent battle report that really does illustrate many of the differences and new options available with the new rule set. Well done. Can’t wait till N3 arrives.
That was the most ridiculously lucky use of the CSU I’ve ever seen, In my Icestorm games she’s usually taken out a lot faster, and with fewer damaged TAGS.
Reminds me of my first game. Much stress, but there was a last minute turn around, so Killian’s still in with a chance
Gotta love those hacking options. Think I may have to take a more serious look at Nomads.
Ouch some unlucky roles there Kilian!
That was a fun game, looks like I shall have to invest in some hackers now
A very fun bat rep to watch. 🙂 I´m a bit unsure which faction I will settle with though. But seems I have to go and collect my Icestorm-set real soon, and maybe pick up those tags and other units. 🙂 Then try to find someone that will play. :p My regular opponent finds it a bit too much at the moment.
Can’t wait for part 2! And N3! (^_^)
You leave my TAGs alone, nasty Nomad hackers!
This game honestly looks really good. The more I see of it the more I am seriously considering giving it a try
very nice batrep! I want to play now!
The Moto.tronica scenery creates such an amazing table. I think Operation Icestorm was a success because the models and the terrain are both on the next level of quality.
Great video
Hah – awesome bat rep.
Nice overview, helps to see how all the different mechanics play out together
Had to watch a second time to realize the TV in the back had info.
Sunday Sunday Sunday!
Nice game. Table looks really good with such well painted minis on it.
Nice, can’t wait to see this.
This was a really great BR. Knowing that BOW is known for news and reviews over BRs this was still a great showing. Good job lads.
Very good video
Have only been in the table top hobby for a month now, practising my painting and and assembling on ‘hand me downs’ and I felt I was finally ready to take the plunge into one wargame that gave me multiple play style options. I must say. Infinity has done that for me :’)
Love the coverage so far guys, keep up the good work.
You know it’s bad when the bane of your existence is a “rent-a-cop”
Excellent information
Really like the end of turn tactical updates 🙂
More Infinity Bat reps please.
The Dice Gods do not shine on you Killian. Bad luck can be the dogs mother.
Finally getting to see the game play.
Intense first round… the dice hate both players that day it seems.
I like what I´m seeing as an Infinity noob. Spekters seem like an awsome miniature, striking from the shadows. The Jotum is a beast, tamed through the beauty of hacking :)
Oh gosh this is awesome!
Awesome batrep. Cant wait for part 2.
The Jotum cant shoot the heavy flamer from any point in its base?
Damn, every time I’ve played with the CSU she gets wasted by the first order of the game
Deseando que lleguen las navidades para hacerme con el Iguana… y que llegue la segunda parte del video!!!! Mis felicitaciones a Corvus Belli por como estan haciendo las cosas y a TheBeastsOfWar por sus reportajes.
@manne – direct template weapons, such as the heavy flamer can be fired from any point on the miniatures silhouette as demonstrated in the template video.
On another note; release the rest of the battle report parts already!!!!
Go Nomads!
Great stuff. I really like that they took it quite slow to clearly explain stuff (including their plans and tactics not just rules) for new players while still making it very entertaining to watch.
“The battle is mine from the first turn, I am totally a champion, I am going to win… I’m also a very humble guy” Haha you said it Carlos 😀
These themed weeks are the best 😀
I can’t wait to watch this over the weekend 😀
Great Bat Rep, i think possibly one of the best ones BoW have ever made.
Very amusing with the Jotum being hacked, and Carlos also with the really dry sense of humour.
Awesome :o)
Nice report
ALL YOUR JOTUM ARE BELONG TO US!
Great vid yet again, so looking forward to painting my copy of ice storm up, i am totally new to infinity and i just got my icestorm box so this is so cool, bat rep’s and mini’s oh yes heaven. thank’s to all you guy’s at beast’s of war and the mighty Carlos. 🙂
really enjoyed and would love to play against Carlos hes a great gamer hehhe fun, superb vids thank you for so much this week so far
What happened to the Akal Sikh Commando? He should have dropped in.
Nevertheless, this was a very enjoyable game to watch!
Loved Carlos’ opening cheers…when the designer is that excited….you have something special
really fun report with some rather unlucky TAGs
Great fun. Loved Carlos’s super-smug assessment of the first round … and learning how the game works.
This is a fantastically well done batrep guys! Really enjoyed watching them duke it out over the table 😀
Very nice! I’m waiting for the free rules download! 🙂
A great watch to say the least.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the playtesting matches turned out to be something like that.
Very nice report!!! when is the next one??
Awesome game!!!!
I managed to “beat” Killian in an ITS game before… embarrassed about the manner of the win but a win nonetheless.
thx for ba trep
…It´s just me….or INFINITY hates KILLIAN?¿?¿… 😀
Nomads are looking interessing as a fraction to start with, while i don t like pano at all.
I really want to get drunk with Carlos sometime, and then play a match of Infinity!
That should be their next Infinity week prize
It’s good to see them play, this clears some things up that were discussed earlier this week.
Excellent report.
More please
Loving the battle report.
cant wait for N3 !
Really good stuff!
Loving the battle
I like watching Battle reports for me its a good way to learn the game as well as be entertained
Carlos comeback!
Definitely has a better flow to the rules. And a great job of demoing the game.
They could probably do with some higher buildings. The tags are that big that when ever they move every man and his dog gets a shot.
This was a blast. Poor Killian, couldn’t catch a break that first turn. Sometimes these battle reports can feel very stiff, but this felt like they were honestly having a good time.
This Bat Rep is awesome! Though, I had to rewind a couple times. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but it seemed like there were a few instances where they declared something, but it never happened or happened differently. Just me? Not trying to judge, just clarify.
Really exciting to see all the pieces come together in a professional looking package. The minis were always amazing, but the rules were pretty daunting to get into. The streamlined rules mean I’m finally getting my minis on the table.
Can’t wait to see the new rulebook!
And I’m just sitting here, waiting for USAriadna …
I like the style of the report, keep em coming!
Carlos is as funny as hell lol CB has to make batreps on a monthly basis please!!! 🙂
I need this book, now… please?
OMG, what a battle! can’t wait to receive my N3 book!
Jotum screen reads:
Yoink.adios/loser!
Nasty piece of possession work, Carlos
The bitter rivalry continues.
My Iguana operator is the best killer =P
Great start to the batrep!
Very lovely set with some great minis. Really liking the way this looks.
An epic battle you will remember.
Nomads for the win!!
Just learned about N3 and picked up Icestorm today. Now I’m working my way through the videos… and hoping I win the boxes to fill out my forces!
Go Nomads Go!
Great battle report, really enjoyed it and would like to see more like this. Like the way the strategies were explained as the orders were spent.
Great start for Carlos. Hoping Killian makes a strong comeback.
Another excellent infinity week!
Spending money on terrain instead of figures or a change.
Amazing! I love the difference between the CSUs performance in this game compared to in the Op:I report, shows what even a grunt can pull off in Infinity.
Hacked Jotun = the worst possible thing for Killian. The suspense is killing me!
That was one tough CSU
good old Infinity, just upgraded a little bit 🙂 <3
Looking good.
Well played!
Avenge the Iguana, Carlos. AVENGE THE IGUANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to start playing with the new rules.
It was a great bat rep!
It was a great battle report!
Amazing BatRep, far better than any of the ones that MWG puts out for Infinity/
…nice to see that i am not the only one rolling horrible 😉
This video is the one I was waiting for
Recently picked up a copy of operation icestorm after being away from the hobby for more than 20 years. After watching the videos earlier this week and this one I’m really looking forward to the release of the 3rd ed rules.
Excellent battle report, looking forward to getting into Infinity!
Sophisticated but awesome! 🙂
I will show this video in my old Tv school as an example of how to cross the action line… someone in the comment section with TV or film experience to have a talk with the person who placed the cameras?? 🙂 You shouldn’t place a camera crossing the 180· line of action… killian’s camera (the one that suposedly shows the perspective from killian’s side) show us killian on the left, showing his right arm, while the rest of cameras show him on the right, and we see his left arm. This is crossing the action line. The result is that you can be confused about which side of the table you are seeing.
Sunday Sunday Sunday! Love alone cannot save a giant robot.
Hahaha, Carlos cracks me up. His taunts and what not sound like something come directly out of my gaming group. I bet him and Killian would be fun guys to play a game with.
Battle royale!
I’m definitely going to have to watch this vid again after I watch the new rules update vids…
Carlos’ sound effects are the best.
The moral victory means nothing in round 5 of 3.
Great batrep, looking forward to more from BoW.
Red
Wow
what incredible balance in hack and firepower ^^
poor Killian and poor Iguana …
Great battle report and it is good to see how the new rules work out
I wonder how many Icestorm buildings made that table. Well, I could count, but I’m lazy.
Ouch. Proof that the new hacking rules rule!
Go Nomads, go!
Fight fight fight and kill’em all!!!
Have loved Infinity week! Watching a real game helps me get my head round all the new rules. Cant wait for 3rd edition.
I liked the inclusion of the candid briefs to the audience from each player. Let’s us know what their strategy is without having to explain it to both audience and opponent during the game. (At least, I assume it was private to the audience.)
The Old Man in the Mountain is watching you.
damm is all infinity games take so long? and Carlos really want to win it!
Loving this battle report!
This was such a great video. I can’t wait to see them all. I’m currently building a Bakunin Sectorial.
i want n3 now!!!
Nice report. Go Nomads!
Great Bat Rep!
Hope there will be another infinity week like this when the N3 book releases to showcase all the new stuff
roll on round 2, Good job Carlos is humble or he would be rubbing it in.
Should have a competition where first prize is a game against Carlos!
Has been a fab week of goodness.
Excellent! Can’t wait to get my hands on the new rules.
