Designing Infinity Operation: Sandtrap! From Concept To Miniature | Infinity N5 Week
October 15, 2024 by avernos
One of the best things about Infinity is that the art and concept design that goes into the factions is so in-depth. With that in mind, Gerry talks to Carlos and Killian from Corvus Belli about the process of bringing the miniatures from Operation: Sandtrap to life.

Carlos shows off the original concept art for the different PanOceania and JSA miniatures that you get in the new Battle Pack as well as the renders and how that transitions into the final miniatures that you see on the tabletop.

Jizz Samurai (Jizamurai)? Did no one run these names by a 14 year old boy?
🤣🤯😱
Like the LongWang TAG..? xD
Excitment rising!
I’ve been away from Infinity since its second edition, but I’m really tempted to come back right now!
Always fun to see the concept art and the full artwork for the new models.
Les figurines sont tout simplement magnifique , le yamabushi est franchement une merveille, je suis complètement adepte . Ça ne fait pas très longtemps que je connais les univers corvus belli mais j’en suis tombé amoureux , j’ai d’ailleurs quitté un géant de la figurine pour me jeter corps et âme dans infinity et warcrow, continuez messieurs et mesdames de chez corvus belli vous avez redonnez un sens au jeu de figurine , et bonjour à Carlos d’un autre Carlos.
Really enjoy being able to see the progress from concept art to miniatures. Both the Kestrel Colonial Force and the Shindenbutai look amazing. My favorite is the crouching Yamabushi figure.
i think the yamabushi might be one of the best models CB has made!
incredible artwork
Preorder is in, loving the JSA.
These designs looks absolutely amazing. Can’t wait for the release.
I am comment to win, and you can, too!
The ‘Happy Clownn Face’ is something that imediately stood out to me, but I do like the samurai pose.
Never, played Infinity, but am tempted to get involved. 100% will if I win. 😉
i do like the artwork
I think another Art book would be a great idea. I’ve not played in years but have loved looking at the figure releases and the artwork
So far, I have bought every 2 player bundle they have done, but one. I love the world they have created and the minis they put out. I have the RPG, and I went all in on the TAG Raid. And here is the screwed up part; I have been buying their stuff for over a decade and I have never gotten anyone in my gaming group to play. I still get a lot of enjoyment in my hobbying with their world. Unfortunately I am way behind in my painting. I do have a wonderful pile of potential though. Also, a lot of good reading material.
I don’t want JSA… I need JSA 😎
So hype
Neat to see some units with their environment considered n their design. I like robes on power armour as much as the next guy, but this fits the theme of the new world.
Samurai in space, winning combo
I’d say yes to a new Art Book.
Definitely going to have to check out the new rules when they come out. I do like the look of the infantry with the breather masks, very cool!
The JSA look amazing! You can really see that a lot of time and effort went into their aesthetic design.
Nice designs as always
Always cool to have a peak into the creative process.
Love love love the Infinity aesthetic.
MAKE VARUNA GREAT AGAIN
Best video so far. I love Carolos explanation of the minis and seeing the renders. I do like the Scarecrow for Pan O!
Great miniatures.
always fantastic to see how the concept art gets converted into the physical model, not something you always see, but always enjoyable to watch…at least for me anyway 😀
So tempted by the beautiful JSA models which already have a beautiful range. Plasma Carbine on the one JSA model is intriguing. Will we see more human plasma with the CA joining the sphere
H’ORKS ?
Fantastic fluff with great figures to back it up – looking forward to this one
I love the design stuff. After all, the pictures are what’s calling us to these games and universes first and foremost. And with Infinity the visual side is huge.
Carlos, pretty pretty please, show us line art and different earlier concept stages.
Minis look sharp
This set looks excellent! I’m definitely keen to get into this game finally! JSA might be the go for me to start, but there’s so many other awesome minis and teams in N5. I love the setting
As always stunning minis
Was not a fan of the scarecrow but seeing it up close it seems quite cool!
Hmm interesting stuff
Really cool to get Carlos’ thoughts on the sculpts and the process. shows them off to great advantage!
A spectacular fashion show brought to you by the house of Carlos.
Looking forward to looking into the N5 stuff more closely!
so much art
I am pumped for N5!
I am excited and hoping that N5 revitalizes our local meta.
Always nice to see the creative process. Fennic fusiliers are still my favorite.
A pick behind the creative curtain.
Always interesting in hearing about design and how they mesh with ideas. Can’t wait to get into the Sandtrap (but not the real one)
iam a sucker for this artstyle, just love it
Commenting for a starter box. Watching because I’m interested!
Damn, it’d be tough to pick a favourite piece of art here…
Never underestimate the childish humor of grown men XD
always loved the JSA design
Very cool but going to take forever to paint all those details.
I loved Artbook One, and would buy Artbook Two in an instant if you made it 🙂
Jizamurai concept is my absolute favorite here !
Keep the videos coming!
commenting 4 the win
that explanation about design was very interesting. Hope to get much more similar content
Great art samples as usual
art design is top as always
