Which faction comes out on top?
































The thought and effort put into these models is phenomenal. The effort in design really comes across in the final models.
man they look sweet 🙂
I already am hooked on the models and options for the PanO and Nomad army’s to get Operation: Icestorm and the Beyond Icestorm sets.
And I will need Beyond Red Veil as well.
I just prepared some nice army lists in: https://armymobile.infinitythegame.com/ for when I receive all this.
I can’t wait to paint all of them 😀
I assume the units will be used in some battlereports during this week. Can’t wait for more stuff to give me my Infinity fix.
I always love when Carlos talks about designs behind the scenes. I am excited for those releases.
How nice these Minis are!!! NEED them!!!
It just keeps getting better. Now to find someone to paint for me.
From fantastic conceopt to fantastic minis
They look so good. I can not wait 😛
Can’t wait for these minis!
Infinity has some of the nicest minis of any company today. Living this expansion idea!
It is very interesting to see the ‘behind the scenes’ 🙂
That Kriza Borac looks like a beast of a unit. If Szalamandra is going to follow the same design patterns (as to be expected) then I am a hell of a lucky Nomad player XD XD XD
Every time they do these summer releases I find myself wanting to start another army…
I just love the design approach Corvus Belli takes when they develop new models, as well as the consistency between each unit in the factions and sectorials
Szalamandra re-sculpt is the best news in this video, great designs as always.
It’s good to know that many of those miniatures are focused for future factions, I would have focus on R.E.M. Troops on both beyond boxes, many of them need new designs.
Awesome mini’s, cannot wait to get a hold of them.
So, lead the way, thtat means that another specops are coming…
And much effort speaking from new sectorials… Im happy ^^
Loving the design chats.
new models look amazing, the Swiss guard just speechless. Time to start Pano!!!
Always love to hear the thought process behind the designs. Cannot wait to get my hands on these.
Ariadna intel spec ops, stole the show. cant wait to get my hands on that.
shut up and take all my money CB 😀
Really looking forward to the new boxes. Was hoping that infinity being a smaller army game would give me more hope on catching up on my painting backlog. But they keep releasing to many shinies.
As a newish player I find things like infinity week great as they inform me of bits of background which I have not yet discovered like the Vatican related part of the PO faction.
Infinity Week is better than Shark Week.
The CSU model has something of a Shadowrun vibe about it that I’m really diggin’.
Always love seeing CB’s concept dossiers.
I love the peek at the design process. Keep these videos coming!
Adding the cloth textures to the sculpts is a great improvement. It makes many models look a little more lively.
I can imagine it doesn’t take much to tempt those concept artists.
CB goes from strength to strength with its miniature designs. Love looking at the dossier files.
Gotta say that I’m certainly loving the redesigns. Keep up the great work CB. Now to get my airbrush prepped and ready for beyond Operation Icestorm.
guess ill be getting these then lol
I do love hearing all about the ideas that go in to these great models.
All these fantastic minis makes it hard to pick a faction.
That’s a lot of awesome minis. I especially like the Fiday.
Awesome new miniatures
Do love the aesthetics of infinity, just never hade anyone in my local interested in jumping in maybe if I got a set I could tempt somebody
For me Criza Borak is the King of the Show! 😉
These byond boxes are a total sucess for me!!
awesome designs! now we just need to know some stats!!!!
Gotta have Tarik. My favourite model and now there’s another. No brainer
I love seeing these profile pictures and how they were then turned into miniatures.
Sweet minis.
Good idea with the boxes. Great way to expand the forces. Troops section could have been better.
But still a good way forward.
I do love the concept art they show off.
Not a huge fan of limited edition minis where it’s a fairly core troop, but it must be working for them.
As a Graphic designer I love these chats!
Oh my god, those concept artwork is simply amazing. I wish that I could do something like that, but I will leave it in much more talented hands than mine. My favourite has to be the Daofei closely followed by the Kriza Boracs.
Really nice minis
have to get my hands on beyond icestorm 😉
Loving the Swiss guard. Got to love some more Pano heavy infantry!
Now I have to make a decision which sectorial to do Acontecimento or Vanuna.
Infinity Week is by far better then Shark Week for sure. I am super excited about these releases. I wish we could get an art book with those profile pics.
Daaaamn. I’m a sworn antagonist of humanity, but that Daofei makes me think about starting the white banner sector already. I do love Heavy Infantry! <3
Just making me wanna buys these sets even more….
The attention to detail in these miniatures is one of the things that really appeals to me about Infinity.
This looks very cool.
Concept art, the best art, because everything is based on it.
the new boxes are a great idea, especially for starting out. Which they had brought these out earlier!
That Swiss guard sword though, that needs to be on a Military order Knight!
I was giggling away watching Bostria making an effort to keep his mouth shut when they were talking about the Swiss Guard – very restrained of him, I thought.
Good of him to describe the Hac Tao as a better version of the Swiss Guard later on, as well!
Damn you. I want some Haqqislam now.
Looks great and love the new elements and the similaritaries to other nomad units.
Just when other companies start drawing my eye to their shinies INFINITY draws me back in!
Infinity week, lovely I need a boost to get back to painting.
new Daofei looks badass!
The style of Carlos’ concept art is so excellent, so clear and detailed. How many million prototypes do you have to draw before you get to that final pic I wonder?
Did he mention Szalamandra? Just when I thought I couldn’t get more excited!
Amazing stuff.
I’m not convinced by the USAriadna spec op, something just doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe too SAS or Spetnaz and not enough USA.
Cool to hear that there are more sectorial armies coming. Can’t wait for them. Thanks Carlos forgiving us some insight in the thought process of the company and design team.
Always enjoy watching the design episodes with Carlos, I love his enthusiasm
This is pretty exciting. I love hearing about the level of detail and thought put into Infinity.
Sweet! Great insight on the design process.
Because of the Beyond boxes I now have to get Icestorm. Very well done love the art as well.
These are just fantastic figures. I cannot wait to paint some of these up
It’s nice to see at least one Swiss Guard getting with the times.
As always great chat with Carlos.
The Swiss Guard should have had a Halberd.
Great vid guys, thanks!
I do love the look of these and can’t wait to play them!
I just wish they could stop with the PanO antenna thingie.
Oh Carlos, you shouldn’t have. And just in time for my birthday too!
I’ll be getting all of this, it looks great. As a fan of WYSIWYG I would have preferred to see a slung weapon on the Fiday and Bolt though, so I may need to add them on mine.
I always love seeing some cool art. Especially when it leads to cool miniatures. Did Carlos say a new Salamander was coming? They are going to take all of my money.
Bet you I do pick up at least one of these expansions.
looks amazing!!!
I like the dedication to quality put into the miniatures.
I can’t get enough of that Swiss Guard.
Killian you got it wrong – you do not repaint a tag, you get a 2nd one 😉
After getting the Icestorm starter set, these are pretty must a requirement for me. Looks awesome!
Very good desings and miniatures, the only that did’t convince me a lot is the Dao Fei because I think it looks better with the pigtail he used to carry. But i think all the miniatures are very good something that corvus belly has accustomed us to.
Who doesn’t love infinity week. I’m glad Carlos is in the videos!
I’ve only just started learning Infinity – love these new models
Amazing… as allways
Again, awesome stuff; can’t wait for this stuff to become available.
I love Infinity! It is nice to see hom much attention to details and effort is being put in to a single model. This is why they are so good. Keep it up guys.
Absolute beauties!
Designing the models in such a detail is amazing. I didn’t get into Infinity yet, but i’m very interested to do so.
These are just amazing. I am loving all the factions. Cannot decide which way to go. May just have to get them all. There goes the wallet.
It’s this level of preparation and detail that makes the Infinity minis what they are!
This was great to watch. Really love the concept art and where you guys are taking these minies.
I am loving the look of the YuJing
Always cool to see how the Concepts turn out.
But we want to see the profiles :p
Nice try Justin 😉 “this looks like a fully fledged soldier”. Nah, she doesn’t, she looks like a super model but…. I can justify it in my mind:
She is wearing high tech armour, she needs to be physically fit, not built like a brick S#!t house!
So yeah, it’s all good 😛 and she’s far too cool for me to have a problem with it!
Anyyyway, I absolutely love these design boards they do, the art is so clean, its beautiful
Awesome redesign of the Kamau, looks real fishy! 😀 Certainly more character than the previous version …
I’m so glad that I’m only collecting one faction for this game… for now anyway lol!
With Angels books, those models are very rewarding to paint. Its a shame i don’t know anyone who plays so mine just gather dust.
The designs on these are beautiful. I cannot think of another metal miniature that remotely compares to the work they do.
Awesome looking forward to some more Nomads.
Nice design chat, that Swiss Guard miniature is awesome.
I’m really digging on all the Nomads designs. I’m starting to work Hellcats into my games and trying to figure out how to keep them alive for more than 5 seconds is my first challenge.
I’m definitely getting the Beyond Icestorm box, because its so much better to have non-duplicated figures on the table. Yay 🙂
Brilliant mini’s- looking forward to seeing the profiles!
More Infinity is always a good thing!
love the haquislam
Super hyped for the release. Love that Father-Knight sculpt!
I picked up operation ice storm for the minatures and never had a chance to get it to the table; this expansion is the perfect way to do it I think!
those minis though!
Swiss guard! Don’t mind if I do.
The Swiss Guard is amazing, completely ready to lord over the table with the HMG.
Keep these videos coming 🙂
As always, lovely designs. It’s a shame however that my dear Haqqislamites didn’t get any new redesign, despite the absolutely stunning models, they feel like they’re a bit missing in “newness” factor.
These minis are well thought
sooo nice
new models is always good and if they are great looking is a plus so simply WOW 😛
Those new designs Looks realy fantastic!!!!
they look sweet
These look so awesome! The new textures, besides adding detail and interest, the will give painters another area to added minute glazes to shade and highlight.
I always wanted a Tarik Mansuri model when I first looked at Haqqislam as a faction. Having him in this box with the other cool additions is seriously leaning me towards getting this set.
Waiting on a delivery of combined army miniatures too, bought during the pre-Strikezone Wotan sales. I still want to collect more even though I struggle to get a game. Just too good to resist.
I have nothing to say really, just commenting to win.
Great stuff. They should have done more play through scenarios like they did for the first sets. So you can get used to the extra new rules these miniatures have.
I have been threatening to get into Infinity and all of these stats are interesting but quite daunting at the same time. I really like these new expansion packs and I think it is great way to get someone like me involved to add these to a starter set. Now it all just looks so good so which combination of the sets to go for…..icestorm or red veil….
Not played for a while but love painting the minis
Not assembling them so much
Loving the look of that new Daofei and the Kriza
It is always great to see how they go from designs to an actual model. I really like the look of the nomad faction.
I really like the sleek power armor on some of these minis. It’s a lot rarer than the bulky versions so many companies make. Probably a lot harder to paint though.
Love the new texture details! And the bonus minis are just as beautiful as the boxed sets…
Love the models!!!!!!
The swiss guard is just brutal! Cant wait to have it on my pano list
I always think about how amazing it would be to sit in on a design brainstorming meeting at Corvus Belli. I would love to hear how everyone shares ideas and then talk about if from game impact to overall look.
Hands down Infinity has some of the best models in all of gaming!
Great! i want to win!
I was waiting for the swissguard! …. i purchase one lately… YESTERDAY! so it give me this new… a new swissguard… i need him
I’ll never be able to retire, will I?
Sigh, suppose I will have to get the shiney things then
Can’t figure out quite how I feel about the coat on the Guilang – but I’m pretty excited to get it in hand and painted!
These look so good.
Awesome stuff guys. Its all about the characters for me
Swiss is so cool!
These miniatures look great!
Looks amazing! I need to decide which Infinity faction to start!
Very cool new models.
Can’t wait for this!
I have so much to still paint but I’ve got to get the Beyond Red Veil box. The minis are awesome!
cool miniatures. Infinity has awesome art.
Comment
This is really going to hurt my wallet
I actually quite like those braids sculpted on the neoterra bolt, nice little touch!
Such fantastic artwork for the minis.
These are amazing kits, I need the spec ops.
Always love to see those dossiers, the designs are great.
Exclusives :O
Very interesting stuff
Always nice to see some of the backround of the development of the minis.
Loving the new model designs and it’s always interesting to find out the background as to how they have been developed. I like the designs for both pano and ju jing so tempted by both beyond sets!
Nice minis, wanna win.
Love the look of the nomads and pan Oceania factions.
Behind the scenes stuff is some of my favorite, awesome videos again.
I love the ponytails on the Bolt. Corvus Bellis is great with adding those little touches.
I keep thinking about getting the starter sets even though I have played it for years, the Ninja in Red Veil is insane.
Great presentation of this product.
Loving this release.
Great designs. Interesting to get a sense of what is behind the designs.
great design art
The recent sculpts of are fantastic, I love the chunkier look of all the HI’s.
