Infinity Operation: Icestorm Box Spotted In The Wild!
July 5, 2014 by brennon
Ok so it might actually be in the wild but over on the Infinity Twitter Account they showed off the cover lid for their new Two Player Introductory Battle Pack (as seen on the lid!). The goodies within are indeed going to be very nice I bet!
Very nice indeed and a good size as well which might mean we could be seeing a bit of terrain as well as the different forces in this box. This is certainly something Infinity has sorely needed and hopefully it will have a lot more people joining the already vast array of Infinity players out there!
Are you aching to know what's inside?
If it has terrain, playmat and minirulebook i will buy it asap!
I definitely read a playmat is in there, possibly terrain also (although, not sure whether true!) It would certainly make sense..
Hard to say from the size of the box, I suppose there would certainly be some room in there for some flat-packed MDF.
I guess they could also have a printed copy of the rulebook (or perhaps quick start rules) although it’s not really essential for them to include rules as they are all available to download for free.
I would hope it has at least some paper terrain in that sized package especially as it is an intensive aspect of the game. 🙂
I would think to qualify as a quality starter pack it must have terrain. As said above, as integral as terrain is to the game, to not include some would be a huge mistake. I won’t be getting this myself because I already have hugely invested in Infinity( at least $3K counting terrain and minis), but do hope for the success of the pack.
more importantly , dates?
I’ve been waiting for this starter set to get myself into infinity.
Godammit, release it already!
any news on how much the price will be yet ? 🙂
I did read $120, but I don’t know if that was someone that knew, or a guess based on the supposed contents of the box.
So for those of us not in the know, which two factions does this appear to be? (Checkout bigger pic on their facebook banner… https://www.facebook.com/CorvusBelli )
Nomads vs. Pan Oceana 😉
According to Angel Giraldez it’ll be on sale at GenCon.
I play it anyway but count me in
Nice cover, wish I could see what was in it 🙁
From the cover image, the blacked out teaser image and comments from the creators, the infinity forums have made this list:
PanO
3 Fusilier (resculpted)
1 Nesse MSR
1 Akali Combi
1 ORC Multi
1 Named Father-Knight Order of the Hospital
Nomads
3 Alguacile (resculpted)
1 Spektr Combi
1 Mobil Brigada Multi+LFT
1 unknown model
1 Named Revered Healer
1 Civillian High Value Target
So about 2 starters and dire foes box worth of miniatures
4 D20s
1 playmat
Terrain (Probably carboard)
Templates
3rd ed. Rules (At least quick start but maybe a minibook and/or a campain book)
I’ll be 100% picking this up on release.
