Battle Box & Beyond – Operation: Icestorm!
August 2, 2014 by lloyd
As the end of Operation: Icestorm Week draws in Warren and the guys sit down for one more look at where you might want to head after you've played with the forces present in the Infinity Starter Set.
What models should you be picking up? What tactics should you employ? The world of Infinity is pretty expansive so you have a whole load of options!



I can’t help but wonder if the Squalo would have been chosen for the suggested PanO Tag if there wasn’t a resculpt coming up in the future. It would have worked really well with the Auxila running Forward Observer.
More more more give us more
Warren we all have a wish list but it all comes down to the above sentence.
would love to win to grow my measly Infinity army.
I’d like to win just so I could start Infinity
That PanO TAG is awesome looking!
Just so much awesome in this week of videos. So want to start nomads
Too many videos, I can’t keep up. I’m still only halfway through yesterday’s battle report.
The perfect way to expand the battlebox is… To comment this video and win the 4 expansion boxes!! XD
Carlos, nice idea to include in the Operation storms those suggestions.
TAGS TAGS and more TAGS. Gorgeous models
It would be awesome if there was a battle report using both suggested lists. If only to see how the Nomads will fare against that sort of pan0 list.
Strange the HMC TAG wasn’t recommended for the Nomads instead.
Well, as someone who has never played Infinity before, I figured the giveaway boxes were chosen because they were just really freakin’ cool. Now I see that the guys at Beasts of War had a much more flavorful and practical reason for it as well. Very nicely done gentlemen. Now I have a much clearer idea of where I need to go next regardless of which of the two factions I choose to represent (of course, why choose if you can have both!).
Thank you once again to Carlos, Corvus Belli and the guys at Beasts of War for taking time to highlight this incredible starter and keep up the great work you do…
Cheers!
Love Love Love. Need N3
For the Nomads I would add a Gecko Squadron because they look so cool.
Thank you for this week. It has opened my eyes to a brilliant game that looks likely to grow and grow and grow. Cannot wait to get started with infinity
Great week, great game. Thanks to all at BoW and CB.
Infinity week extending through weekend? That’s huge! The best news today, indeed my notebook decided to meltdown again and I’m trying to salvage the most data I can from it. I would say that I really need the Interventors from Tunguska now. Setting jokes aside, thank you guys this helps a lot to cope with such a boring activity.
About the OP: Icestorm and Beyond, I find interesting the suggestion for the expansion of the PanO side of the box. Jotum is a resilient TAG not versatile as it was long time ago with the HGL but even with just HFT as a side to the main weapon, the Multi HMG, it’s really a tough guy to stop. Auxilia will be more tactical than heavy fire power, but the mix of a beefed up Fusilier plus auxbot it’s good.
On the cool guys side, the Nomad of course, the choice of the Iguana is most aesthetic than effectiveness to me, anyway the Iguana is a good light TAG. I’m more excited for the Interventor box, these lads are the best, as the spanish friends will say they’re “la leche!”, the real lords of cyberwar and astounding sculpts too.
So It will be really cool to win such a gourgeus prize of 4 boxes to console an unlucky chap like me that after coping to see Infinity week all the week long when abroad in France, battling with instable WiFi connection and a cosy girlfriend, returns home just to find its notebook kinda of banged up! Yeah I’m pathetic but I try to get the best from the worst 😉
Cosy girlfriend? Then you have nothing to complain about. 😉
Looking forward to building on OpIce by adding some flexibility and starting a new faction… probably the Ariadne;Merovingian. Looking for places to eventually find some opponents other than my son.
Winning some free boxes would always help 😉
Already have the Jotum painted (Profile pic) just waiting for this set a I am a fan of the Svarlenheima aesthetic of Pan O. Great week of Infinity and now waiting for GenCon coverge to begin 🙂
Awesome
Really tempted to pick up this game for my local gaming group
Looking forward to the scenery set coming out. For Infinity that’s always been a big challenge.
Ok the Iguana has sold me on the Nomads that’ll be my faction
Got me the Pan O advised gear all ready to paint up. 🙂 the Jotum is a beast, but those damn pandas are sweeeeet!
Question to Carlos,
We have seen the Gandum dance gif with carlos on it, does he feel confident to do and ice storm dance for us viewers? As has already done a few shakiera arm moves already in the videos. Hehe. 😀
to expand the nomads I would buy the Haqqislam that allows some nomad models
You are a man of single minded dedication to the Haqqislam, and they are my faction of choice, so I can appreciate that. Did you manage to get the ‘expansion’ of the army approved by the wife?
There is no such thing as too much Infinity.
True – both literally and figuratively.
Interesting.
I cant wait.
The Iguana is really sweet. Love that model.
Good stuff!
great stuff
It’s worrying for my wallet that there are only 3 factions I don’t want, 3 of which I will consider once I have the ones I do 😀
Easy add two of everything and that will be a starting point
I am glad the new starterbox and Infinity week make the game accesible to more new gamers! 🙂
The box looks really good. Love the rule changes thus far. Makes me want to dive into Infinity again.
That tag looks tough. Would love to paint me one of those.
Really cool set of vids, though the redesigned Squalo looks a bit too square maybe compared to earlier?
More Nomads please
I didn’t realize the pilot can eject from the Iguana! That is freakin’ awesome. Can’t wait to play my first game of Infinity. Thank you Beasts of War and Corvus Belli for an amazing week!
finally got to pre-order my box today… any excuse to pick up that iguana too is a good one
it’s amazing that even the Auxilia, which are the “oldest” sculpt showed, are gorgeous!
and that Jotum…mmm!!!
Great coverage. Really looking forward to my box of Icestorm!
Excellent vid. Just the thing I like, how to improve what you already have.
With 2 HI a jotum and 2 auxillias this pan-o force is a really tough squad!!!
To Infinity and beyond! Some great looking suggestions for add ons to the starter box.
I would like to have the 3rd ed in my hands now…
B.
can’t wait for september and N3 already play Corrigedor and O:I is perfect for expanding into vanilla Nomads. was gonna split the box with a buddy put the Pan-O models are just too beautiful need to keep them for myself.
Excellent Job.
I’m loving the look of those tags.
The Svalarheima Jotums has been on my wish for some time.
Nice Coverage this, I hope for more Infinity weeks.
Oh man, I’m getting O:I at GenCon, but this!
It’s fun how they released as prizes the exact models suggested for expanding Icestorm. The Iguana is one slick mecha. I also love the cinematic nature of the Nomad TAG pilot ejecting out as it goes down. As far as troops go, flamethrowers are nice and all, but always bet on Pandas.
Ok, I’m in, just pre ordered! Now that long wait till the postman does his job.
This can’t come soon enough.
More hacking rules ?!? Nice! Thanks for the week of Ops IceStorm
Can’t wait to see the direction N3 takes, any streamlining of the rule system to make it more accessible can only be a good thing. I’d be hard pressed to choose between PanO and Nomads, the new sculpts are that good. Loved the coverage this week, but like everyone else I just want the box set to be released and N3 to come out!
I love the amazing artwork!
Great choices:)
How to expand the icestorm forces? Pick the coolest looking models you can find. Done.
Keep all the infinity goodness coming! Thank you BOW and Corvus Belli
I think this is the best video for new players!
I want more details! When will the official complete 3rd edition rulebook be published?
great show guys. will their be any new things for the other factions coming out soon also ?
Love the Iguana model, more than the Jotum!
Great stuff guys. Hope N3 info continues to leak out. It’s all wonderful so far
Thanks for another great themed week!
Very nice of them to include a section on expanding beyond the box (for their profits as well as our enjoyment xD). Man oh man, those TAGs though. I want to get at least one of every PanO TAG eventually, I just don’t know where to begin. The Jotum is excellent, defense and power, but if you want real power the Dragao is where it’s at. PLUS, the new Sqaulo looks absolutely stunning; it just never ends with these TAGs. Excellent job CB and BoW, thanks for the excellent week.
Great week guys, informative and provides a brilliant in-depth look at the product. Sadly I don’t have cash to cover a box that doesn’t provide full rules. It is however a beautiful box, and for someone looking for a gateway its perfect.
As much as I like the new Interventors, I think it would be better to wait till the 3rd edition to mess with hacking, and choose another box instead, to complement operation icestorm, maybe the tomcats (which also come with a funny animal robot) or the lunokhod
ok, maybe it’s the shiny syndrome from the box, but must have this game!
I guess I’m going to have to start expanding my Nomad force now. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for hackers.
Not a huge fan of the TAG now, with the HMG nerf and the overpowered Interventors for N3. Too many points in a single model.
But you can never go wrong with the Auxilia, a really great unit, worth every point!
GO Fast pandas!!
Awesome week!
Theres just far too many things for me to buy and play 🙁
These videos were very inspiring!!
Infinity has arguably some of the most beautiful minis on the market (and I can say that honestly as I am not an anime fan). The aesthetics and though that have gone into the design remind me of the better made movies where costume and prop design have been done by the best of the best.
But I am skint and have no space for more minis so Infinity will have to wait for another time for me (but I WILL be keeping an eye on it).
Nomads looks so cool, also really looking forward to third edition.
would love to start Infinity with this prize 🙂
Happy wargaming too :p
Iguanas rock!
Nomads list seems much more solid in ITS. Panoc will struggle with scenarii where specialists are required.
I love infinity figures. Just hate all the tiny pieces that just want to fall off each time you play with them.
Good to have so many options. This keeps the game very long lasting interesting.
Those Nomad models look amazing! Who doesn’t want tags and pandas? Now all I need to do is win them to go with my ice storm box 🙂
All the new nomad stuff is beautiful!
TAG’s and Panda’s cool……
Carlos is great spokesperson for infinity, I wonder if there is a spanish site for infinity where I can hear him in his native tounge…gonna have to see, LOL
Oh dear, my Christmas list is growing. …….
tags I like pandas I do not
Those models do look great, excited for new stuff!
Got to love the easy scale up of this box.
Great follow-up
I love this ! just getting into infinity and beasts has been a great help. finally found my miniatures game site that doesn’t just try to ram GW products down my throat
all this is nice but when we got the Seraph
im still not clear on whether or not full rules are included in icestorm ???
An Iguanna would be awesome to continue the Nomad’s Icestorm box =P
Great video for those who are starting Infinity with this box (I actually know 2-3 myself).
Gotta love when people use the term Jotum instead of frost giant, who is quite wrong (although in this case frost giant would be quite fitting too)
And it is probably my favorite T.A.G. models next to the Gecko
TAGs and Pandas 😉
Pan O look cool.
Damn, that Iguana is seksay.
Looks good, can’t wait.
Really interested in how hacking works…can’t wait for the full Infinity 3 rule book!
I have to say 2 things:
1) operation icestorm convinced me to start out with infinity (i’ve grabbed some miniatures over the years because they are gorgeous but never started an army)
2)i’d like to know if there will be more options of pre-made paper terrain since i think it’s a FANTASTIC idea to give old boxes a new use, i hope you could get them phisically and not just a pdf print.
Looks great, can’t wait to get into the game myself..
I am a little surprised that they have TAGs in both the expanded army lists. In our meta, we rarely play them, and in a recent poll on the forums the result was that overall we see them in less than 25% of armies. I love TAGs, and they can be great fun, but I hope this doesn’t give the impression that every 300 point army needs to have a TAG.
That all being said, I do LOVE the look of the Jotum- even though I am a Nomad player!
Happy there is a new vid to watch wish this would keep up till icestorm is avalible
I think the best way to make an infinity army is actually pick what looks best.
Given that doesn’t make picking any easier.
So, more stuff I want to buy before I even have operation ice storm in my hand. Good Job!
Looking good! Need more spoilers!
Personally I would go with a Szalamandra instead. The HMC is such a brutal weapon
Hang on, end of the week and no painting tutorials!
I’m on the side of the Nomads!
I would want more specialists to take objectives just in case.
Amazing models that always caught my eye, but now I want to try the game.
TAGs. Get TAGs.
The Iguana looks indeed pretty cool !
I really like the look of these minis, and I don’t normally paint or play scifi! 😉
Great week
A nice wrap-up to a week of exciting previews. The recommended add-ons are looking quite tasty – I’d love to add them to my starter set free of charge. 😉
The TAGs are awesome
nice units!
Already ordered the Cutter TAG for PanO, I love that sort of mobile suit.
Total Infinity beginner. Aleph and Yu jing had caught my eye, but Nomads are really starting to appeal. Thanks for a great week guys…and another hammering of my credit card 😉
In my humble opinion i believe the Iguana is the sexiest model in the Infinity range, it simply screams Masamune Shirow and the Appleseed line of comics.
Thanks for a great week of vids to all involved and just remember, now that Infinity week is over is no excuse to halt the Infinity vids.
Thanks lads
PanO FTW!!!!
I would choose the Pano list they are my way of fighting
Just in case the server falls over it maybe a good idea for everyone to take their comments down.
I’m curious to see how hacking changes…but I might be getting an iguana
So pumped for Nomads. Both TAG’s look awesome.
Well I know how I’m gonna expand the Nomad force!
Nice starter, but no ariadna for me.
Great choices! This sets the players up for the sectorials that I believe are to be slated soon! I hope there’s even more differences between sectorials in the future!
I really like the new Pan O artwork with the new armored cavalry design.
So excited for this…
Sigh… I just want it.
Getting me more and more tempted to get into infinity. I just wish they had Yu Jing in the starter.
I thought Operation Icestorm week was over. Hoorah , a bit more !
TAGs and Pandas! 😛
Another cool video with interesting info.
love that they have thought how to expand your starter armys. is there any information about other factions, if we want to go in another direction
I must say that OPERATION:ICESTORM and the 3rd edition rules have been absolutely Enthralling…..And i find myself in a state of absolute expectation for the full 3rd edition rules…Once again CORVUS BELI ha demostrado lo geniales que son!!!!…..
I like the Pan-O tag but as I am a lover of the Hospitaller Knights chances are I would be adding some of those guys.
Dang, going to have to buy a Jotum and some nomads now 🙂
A great way for a new player to get started.
Cool! I wait third edition!
I want to get some of the Pandas now
we must be waiting near 2 months , whyy whyy whyyy??
Surprised they didn’t mention the repeater in the tag.
Operation: Icestorm week is awesome! Thanks guys!
Really looking forward to when the box arrives and getting my PanO minis painted.
PANDAS!!!!!!!!
Now I’m torn between PanO and the Nomads. Which should I start next? I love the PanO TAG design, but I also like the Iguana for the fact if it’s taken down you can eject the pilot.
My Yu Jing are going to be feel neglected here in the near future when my preorder shows up.
And now the long wait…
Preordered this one already and greedy bastard I am :
Massive Prize I summon thy !!!
are you planning to talk like this one about other factions?
I can’t wait to get my hands on a box
The iguana is a fantastic looking tag. And who doesn’t like robot pandas?!
A week will done, I hate it had to come to an end
More Infinity content few.
err ftw lol
Cool way to close out the week (if this is the last video they put up)
Pandas and Tags … but where are the Koalas?
Very interesting video. Loving the TAGS.
Interesting suggestions. It’s an excellent end for a very cool week.
I’M just looking foreward to this!
“Welcome to Infinity, where rather than forcing you to buy tons of models to play the game, we just make you WANT to buy tons of models!” – Devious, Corvus Belli, very devious.
Great BoW! You’ve done it again. There goes my money…
Can’t wait to get my hands on this starter!
The ideas for expansion are nifty too… need to drum up enough support locally for the game using the starter box first methinks.
Then growing the forces is the plans
Given that they’re at the start of every video. These picks didn’t really come as that much of a surprise. Lol
They are bloody nice figures though.
Also. Don’t forget. The Nomads also have Samurai Pizza Cats.
I’m trying to resist getting into Infinity at the moment, but you are really making it difficult!
I am waiting rather impatiently for the Squalo resculpt. It was the model that first caught my Eye for the Infinity range. Can’t wait to see how they do the refit.
No choice I want it all wah ha ha ha ha ha
How do I know what minis have been resculpted. And do we get the “new” artistic style of painting for all the existing minis when 3rd Comes out…or only when they get a resculp?
That was a great week! Now I really really really looking forward to september!
Gimme gimme gimme!!!
Indeed…Pandas and TAG are fun 😉 Joturns – what an impressive miniature!
I just started with Dust Tactics but this game looks really swell
I want to have this game :-/
I own 3 Auxbot+Auxilia sets. I was hoping these get a resculpt soon but in the video they are recommended as an expansion to the Battle set so probably no new Auxilia then… These could use some update just as the Fusiliers did!
My problem with Infinity is that the models are too nice. I feel like my painting wouldn’t do them justice. Though if I win the boxes of units I won’t really have a choice, will I?
Iguana all the way baby. Can’t wait to pick one up
I would go for auxiliary as the 2 for 1 models combo is great, and also why I would also choose the Iguana as well, with its pop-out HI pilot
I’ve said it before, I’m not a pan-o guy, but that jotum…wow!
Great idea with the video to expand the armies.
Can’t wait for the new Squalo
Good game, good week, it would of been great if you had carried it on for just one more day……….please I have nearly a month to wait, I need more!
Great Infinity week…really re-lit my Infinity fire! I keep wavering between buying and not buying the Ice Storm set…I have so much Infinity stuff to paint and build…and lots of scenery…..but I have no Nomads…hmmmmmm!
It has been a good and informative week
Cannot wait to get my hands on this, great to see metal minis in the starter box, like their style!
I can’t decide which way to go with this either. They’re both good looking list and it was a master stroke of genius to include the up sell in the starter box.
Looking forward to play this set 😀
The miniatures are just amazing.
Liking the look of all the new changes
Never thought of that tag or noticed it just the drageaos or cutter. This infinity week sold me to the game need to get the starter now.
Actually pre-ordered the Icestorm box thanks to Infinity week. The models and the game look great.
I love the pandas, Nomads are the best. <3
The Jotun has me sold on PanO
might have to get a jotum now…
That Jotum truly is awesome, but all I can see when I look at it is old school Starscream.
new tags would be awsome
I am glad they came out with a boxed starter set for this game.
I always love the BOW Infinity weeks. Content is great!
One question I have: Why did they do all these resculpts when the Seraph, PanO Military Order TAG, still doesn’t have a miniature?
Giddy up!
I want to play this game so badly
Nomads for the win! 😀
Interesting.
I cant wait.
Thanks for this video – just what I was looking for!
Any links to suggested starter equivalents for the other factions? I’m especially interested in the Haqislam…
So come on. What’s the changes to hackers?
My nomads are getting very excited
I am very excited about getting Operation Icestorm into my hands. August maybe getting a veeery long month 🙂
That Jotom! My kind of playstyle, heaviest armor and a really cool single shot weapon combined with a multi-HMG! The Panda’s are also cool.
I love that Jotun, but the Iguana is one of the coolest TAGs
Oh mean REALLY want to know what is being looked at down the barrel for the tunguska (and I guess pan-o) new sectorials 😛
Exciting really love the uniqueness of the iguana compared to most other tags in the game. And those interventors are looking even better with an upgraded bts in the new stats for them!
Cool stuff
Two of my favorite TAGs.
Especially the jotum.
I wan’t more info on the hacking!
Looking forward to beginning this game!
Dam the iguana is a nice looking kit. 🙂
Now i really want to know about the new hacking rules.
While I’m not a fan of Pandas, Koalas and other furry things, those Interventors do look rather nice.
If CB’s designers were to come up with something a bit more ‘cyberpunk’ as a replacement (maybe some kind of drone comparable to 40k’s servo skulls?), i’d be completely sold.
Its been an interesting preview week, I’ve learnt about infinity.
😀
Awesome! Great having these clips with Killian and Carlos for Infinity weekend. Hopefully Killian can be a regular part of every Infinity week in the future, his enthusiasm for the game rivals Carlos’.
I agree with Killian, the new Fusiliers look brilliant, which means I now have no reason not to have a Pan O force in the future fielding Fusiliers; and the Nomads are stunning as well!
The minis in this starter are to die for and even my meager painting should be able to keep them looking good on the tabletop and encourage my friends to have a go.
Where would we be without BoW: Hobby Lab & Infinity Week!.
I love it !
I think the addition of suggested expansion models to the book is a stroke of genius.
So do be know when the competition winner is announced, I know I won’t win, but it’s always nice to be able to congratulate someone.
Excellent series to whet the appetite!
an excellent way to get me to pre-order!
Absolutely love that Jotum model. Bought it for a friend a while ago, and I’ve regretted it since then. XD
Yes. Definitely TAGs have to be included for the whole experience.
Nomads, hands down!
LAST CHANCE FOR ME TO WINSOMETHING! I WANNA WIN!
My lord I must paint an iguana
Beast of War, thank you for providing me such a great week of infinity!
Jotum, sweet sweet Jotum. Such an amazing model.
Iguana definitely seems like the best addition of the 4
I need to think about which models to get next
PanO Military Orders ftw!
Interesting, I actually have a box of Auxilia waiting to be painted, the one thing in Infinity I’ve never tried are TAGs. Nomads are new to me, but I do like the look of a lot of their units, I can see Panda’s in my future.
Preordered my copy!
Looks nice
Would like to discover this great game.
Think to me please. 🙂
Man the Jotum is an amazing looking model
Looking forward to expanding my Infinity forces. Quite some good tips in there.
Infinity Battlebox and beyooooond!
People are starting to talk about Infinity at my LFGS
It could be a problem for the wallet if it starts to take off. lol
Awesome
Nice way to cap out a week I’m sure have expanded the awareness of Infinity 🙂
The future is bright!
Will there also come dice for the other faction. I own ALEPH and would like to have fitting dice.
Great game. Would love to play it with some friends.
Operation Icestorm week have been great!
Looking forward to more Infinity battle reports
I want to go Nomads, but the Jotums looks f*** fantastic
I am really grateful, that I have played the game since it came out – for once I have alomost every model i like 🙂
Looking forward to playing the new rules
I think this is the most helpfull video series you guys do.
saw all of them. keep it up
I ‘m tempted by the Nomads 🙂
Loving the Infinity week so far, this is just adding to the awesome of it all.
Another excellent video guys!
Oh great … I guess I’ll start Nomads too. *sigh* Not yet convinced to buy more PanO stuff, but thats a matter of style I guess.
someone can pm me the release date of N3 ???
great infinity week ^^
Awesome, Cant wait to get my Pre-order.
good suggestions. I would definitly add the Jotum. Best looking TAG in the game =)
Need this
This box is fantastic, solid and the best way to get into Infinity. Period. I got my preorder and eager to get my hands on it. Thanks for this great Infinity week BOW it was very fun to watch.
I love this Website and Channel , and Operation Ice Storm Week proves it…Woooo Hoooo
I want the new box!!!
I like the Iguana
Those TAGs. Dayum!
Tags and pandas. Better than coffee! Now, I’m sure to have a good day! 😉
It’s been great all week, I’ve really enjoyed all of the Infinity videos. Keep up the great work!
Can’t wait for this new Box and the 3rd Edition Rules. 🙂
Definately go with two more Algucil- gives a very good start to a Corregidor list, allowing you to try out link teams and a different way of playing. TAGS are good and all, and are all nice models, but for beginners more infantry models to expand the way to play is a better idea, I think.
Nice suggestions you guys made. The Jotum is allways useful.
I’m with Carlos. The Nomads look great!
In matching Warren with his wishlist, I’d like to see a Daktari figure that matches the description in the earlier rulebooks….
This figure should be as ugly and profane as the other Daktari minis were beautiful and lithesome…..
Good Wrap-Up….
So stoked for this kit to come out. I am glad I have a ninja shopper for me heading to Gencon to grab me a couple boxes of O:I!
Gekos are good however personally I have to go Fast Pandas as they are cracking little miniatures. Thanks for a great week on content please can every week be Infinity week?
Interventors, every Nomad should have them!
This looks so cool, watched all the videos posted and pre-ordered straight away…
Can’t wait to see the next resculpts!
I am really impressed with all I have seen so far…
I have been and pre-ordered the starter box! I wasn’t going to get into another game but this week of videos has sold it to me.
Interesting video
nice artworks
Can not wait for this to arrive in the mail.
Very excited about this box-set and getting the chance to blow the dust off of my Haqqislam.
I think the changes will make the game run a little smother
When is all the good stuff available? New rules seem great.
The Iguana was honestly the first thing that made me really want to play Nomads (and I didn’t know a darn thing about the game at the time). The more I’ve learned about the game, them more I want to play Nomads.
I hope the Interventors become AVA 4 in the Tunguska Sectorial. I’ve already got the two previous ones but want an excuse to get the new ones too! Also, Jotum on Iguana… Definitely need those hackers.
Great time to go back to Infinity!
And good to have started a Corregidor force right a couple of weeks ago!
Does anybody know whether the starters in O:I will be sold separately?
Amazing week, thank you very much!
Definitely Nomads for me.
I have watched all the excellent coverage of this game and box set. I agree it is a fantastic starter set to introduce the world of infinity and it’s rules but, I remained unconvinced that this is a path to tread, or an avenue for my dice to follow!
Until I watched this segment with the development potential with fantastic sculpts and giant figures ( sorry. But the pandas do not do it for me!) . All of a sudden the painter and wargamer in me cried out – get them! You need this first move into this new world.
Oh crap, I am a historical gamer… Mr W, it can go both ways!
This week has got me playing infinity again after a years break
Hmmmmn now I am torn but it’s a good job the starter set contains both lol ;0)
Been a good week of content. Looking forward to trying Infinity soon.
Probably the best starter box ever (so far)
Good potent choices for expansion!
Panda’s FTW although the Iguana looks good.
This game looks so great! the minis are amazing!
I don’t want o: Icestorm week to end!
Pandazzzzzz !
this whole week has been great
i already own an iguana, its a great model , easy to build and very little mold line to get rid of…. 9/10
Juste want to getmy boxe
Iguanas and Pandas, who’d have thought such animal husbandry would result in such a sexy combination? 😀
I would love to win simply for the fact that i lost a lot of minis due to a bad break and plus i havealways wanted ro play infinity!
Thanks for all the wonderful videos you have given us this week!
Brilliant week of videos guys, thanks!
Looks pretty awesome to me
Commenting because prizes are cool.
Infinity has always looked like a good game and skirmish games are my love sadly i havent had the money to actively get into anything, i would love to though.
Thank you guys for reviewing this starter set. You’ve convinced me to get into the game and try it out.
Infinity the best mini game!!!
Can’t disagree with the selections for PanO, however I feel that 2 Interventors are overkill. A better choice would be Carlotta, or any Helllcat or Tomcat?
The Minitures look just fantastic and you can go in every sectrorial army after this box. Keep up the good work at Corvus Belli.
Would love to crack open a box!
My Custodier is getting kicked out of her “top hacker” throne, it seems. But then, she doesn’t have pandas. 🙂
The French guy was right. Infinity the war game w RPG narrative.
I’d love to get some pandas…
Very nice looking additions to the starter forces, and relatively inexpensive to get two tournament playable factions going.
I think the Jotum is an interesting TAG as it’s more heavy-set than any of the other HS TAGs. I’d love to see it in a new Svalarheima sectorial.
Thanks for a week of great videos!
Actually looking more and more interesting the more I look
Would love to know when will the full 3rd edition come… aaaarrrgggghh 😀 😀
Nomads miniatures look so awesome!!. But I love the tactical flexibility of Pano army. Yes, definitely buy both armies!! 🙂
what about a second week of infinity? and a third…
I have wanted to try this game out for a while and the starter set looks like my way into the game if funds will allow
Some beautiful models to expand with!
Really looking forward to getting my hands on the new box set.
Robot pandas? looks like I’ll be going with Nomads then. Firepower is all well and good, but a faction that employs absurdity so well is something I find most compelling.
Some great tips on how to expand the list from the Boxset!
TAGs of the hacker world? Interesting…
The “what next?” is a fantastic followup to all the great info we got this week. Thanks!
Really looking forward to this one. Can’t wait for the starter set to turn up.
not able to see the video from where I currently am at, but I will watch it when I am back.
Consider this a gratuitous desperate bid for a chance at the prize, vain hope that it may be.
new infinity looks great.
great starter expansion ideas – Nomads for the win.
Jotum. just love that beast.
Very cool. Break open the piggy bank.
I would be tempted if they had Ariadna in that Box
I can’t wait to find out about the hacker changes!
Thanks for another excellent article.
When will we get the tiklabangs? That’s where I want to take my PanO next. Please CB. Have we not waited long enough?
Any idea when we’ll see the release of the Wolf pack mentioned in the Weekender?
TAGS are the reason I even looked at infinity in the first place. Conveniently the giveaway is the exact models recommended in this video. 🙂
Glad the Pre-orders are running all month!
What’s not to love about those Pandas!
Fast pandas for the win! 🙂
looking good
Supurb stuff, can’t wait for the release
4 the win
Such a love/hate with this game. I really like the tags but otherwise theres no army that just reaches out and grabs me.. I like specific models across most of the range.
Looking forward to opening up the set once it comes in. With minis like these, getting into Infinity is a no brainer. Now the waiting begins. I hate waiting.
nice intro into the next stage of the hobby.
watching these videos is what sold me on finally deciding to get into infinity. After seeing how beautiful the models look, and all the great stuff you get in the box, i decided to take Carlos’ suggestion and i pre-ordered the full Gencon edition with the 2 bonus models that come with it.
The game looks so much better than other ones i’ve played, and the models are all incredible. i’m really looking forward to making a big collection of PanOceania.
Love me some Infinity!
This starter box is plain awesome. Wish it were aleph!
Holy crap, might have to pick this up, even if I don’t care about Nomads
Outstanding!! I’m so excited to get my Nomad reinforcements from the 3rd Ed box!!!
Good way to expand O:I …
Even if I would not have choose the Jotum … I personnally prefer the Dragao, first for the mini which is just awesome and then, he’s a real beast on the board …
I still can’t believe how good the new models are. Can not wait!
Thank you for the themed week!
Pre-ordered already. Looking forward to this so bad!
I like that the Tunguska models are getting some focus and the Spektrs new figure is great. I’d have liked to see a bit more on how other factions can get involved incase you wanted to run matches with other factions which is good for the veteran Infinity player.
The new sculpts look fantastic. The ability to do a hack-spec list for Nomads plays right into the Tricky Nomads Meme which is great.
The cross section of PanO troops makes for a great showcase as well although I would have put a little more emphasis on how shooty PanO is as its a real strength of the faction.
looking forward to the 3rd edition and will be glad to pick up the new minis
Wonder if I’m too late
To comment
To win
Sigh.
Great to see Corvus Beli release operation icestorm, with terrain to get you infinity game started. I wonder if they will come up with additional terrain packs.
This is looking pretty good, for sure
Great looking starter set
Love the …And Beyond series, the first set led to me buying into Infinity in the first place! Really helpful discussion and suggestions, thanks guys.
Auxilia… perfect if you want to roll a Neoterra Sectorial, after the vanilla…
Wonderful minis and wonderful painting.
I am so looking forward to this Starter box…and using it to draw in players at my hometown game locale. At the moment, only a couple of us playing, but I have confidence the starter kit will change that situation.
Just commenting because I want to Win :). Been entering these sine BOW first started comps and would love to win something. 😉
Absolutely love the new Nomad sculpts and can’t wait for my preorder to arrive. Excellent work CB!!
I’m with Carlos and would go for Nomads.
Awesome video. And cool with the ideas.
But my problem with both this starter set and even more so with a list from the rule book is that it would take out the fun of doing something yourself =P, also others may know more from what to expect (I don’t know how that part work) and I guess resale value may be lower for the more standard stuff.
Then again when I thought about units myself before knowing how to make an army I wanted to get as much variation in weapons as possible and the PanOceania especially seemed to have covered a lot of those.
And I guess one could pick up the Combined Army starter set (new one) and expant that one with whatever one wanted later.
I also think Haqqislam is beautiful and interesting all around except I don’t like religions and religious people one bit. But I could still play the minis.
I too wanted to win but I wrote so few comments then and I write more now! ;D
I’m hooked, might run to gaming store tomorrow.
Those Models look amazing
It’s so hard to decide. Looking forward to playing a few games and seeing what play style suits me.
I hope to win
