The Infinity Primer – Where To Start?
March 28, 2016 by brennon
Since we're in the midst of an Infinity Human Sphere N3 Week you might be a little bit intimidated by all of the information being dropped on you this week. Well, we've put together a list of resources that you can look back over to get your head around the rules and be up to speed with where the game is now.
Infinity Weeks
First off let's drop you into a series of our videos which should help you get started.
- Infinity 3rd Edition Week - We go through how the rules changed for N3 and what to look out for.
- Infinity Week 2013 - Check this out for a run down of the different factions and how Corvus Belli went about designing them.
- USAridna Week - Here we went through one of the newest factions for Infinity, the US side of Ariadna.
- Operation Icestorm Week - Get to know the Starter Box for the game and follow along as we play out a great Battle Report.
That should get you started and leave you with plenty of videos to get stuck into as you wait for new ones this time around.
Infinity Boot Camp
We also ran the Infinity Boot Camp last year and it should get you interested in the different ways you can play and learn about assembling the models...
We had some fun with the TAG Deathmatch so make sure to check that out.
Helpful Links
As well as our videos you can check out the resources and links that Corvus Belli provide.
- Infinity Downloads - Get all of the rulebooks, sourcebooks, tokens and more you need from their download section.
- Infinity Army - This program allows you to start building your Infinity force digitally.
- Operation Icestorm Starter Set - If you've been hyped up for Infinity maybe consider their Starter Set.
- Infinity Wiki - Your source for all manner of answered questions concerning the rules of Infinity.
Hopefully that gives you a bit of a refresher on the world of Infinity.
What faction do you play (or want to play)?
"What faction do you play (or want to play)?"
Well summed up @brennon you might want to add the Infinity Bootcamp as well

Three days of great fun
Yus for sure @rasmus – have added that above. 🙂
Cool : Your comment is awaiting moderation. This is probably because its your very first comment on the site! Don’t worry this is completely normal, and we will try to approve this as soon as possible :o)
Nice article giys, I’m realy interested in infinity and my faction of choice would be the Tohaa. Too bad there’s nobody in my neighbourhood who plays the game 🙁
Maybe this week can confince some of my friends
Cheers
Same problem here 🙁
Maybe it’s because there’s not even a real gaming group around here 🙁
What I do when I want to play a new system, something nobody I know plays, is to get the starter set and make sure I have two armies. That way, my friends don’t need to spend money to play the game. I can invite them, say “Hey, wanna try this? I got everything we need to play!” and if they like the game, they’ll soon buy their own stuff. Even if they don’t buy stuff, but regularily play with your armies, you’ve already won, because you now get to play Infinity, the coolest miniature game there is! 😉
Nice job sticking links to the Infinity weeks in one place.
This is going to make answering the “how do I get started?” question a lot easier than my confusing, rambling explanations.
The forum is helpful, I too struggle to find a regular playgroup im in the U.K. There is facebook group infinity the game northern alliance or also check WGC infinity. Hope this helps anyone. 🙂
The previous battle reports on BoW have been a great help getting into this game.
Terrific game!
I can’t recommend this game highly enough, was well worth the swap from the more mainstream wargames!
Great idea gathering all links in one place.
Looking back at Infinity week 3 make me wonder if they will revisit the Bootleg series again ?
Best game I’ve started playing in a while 🙂
A some more old stuff

Very helpful for new players. Thanks.
Let’s add the Infinity Wiki as well, shall we?
http://wiki.infinitythegame.com/
@Brentor the wiki is a good ideal to add as well
@brennon – automessup in action
As the author of the wiki, I endorse this request. 🙂
Really glad I decided to get back into infinity when I did, N3 seems a lot morer streamlined than 1rst edition.
This really is the perfect time to get into the game – all of the 3rd Edition rules are in place – everyone, including veterans, are learning the new stuff, so the playing field is fairly even. Much fun to be had!
Good stuff! For a very new Infinity rookie like myself this is a treasure trove of stuff!
Lots of great stuff to go through!
I’m getting back into infinity, and my flgs is starting an infinity escalation league next week, so this is a very organized list of resources to get me caught up on the rules and gameplay. Thanks, guys!!
Cool article!
I got into Infinity only a few months back, and with Flamestrike, my friends and I have even more reasons to get together to game!
I am with the Nomads for this one, as they’re one of my favourite factions fluff-wise and the miniatures are way awesome!
That’s à good idea to gather all these links.
looking forward to the rest of the week
I haven’t play for ages, this could be a good moment for start playing againg
I’m a fan of all sorts of games, but nothing really beats the excitement of Infinity
Useful stuff, many thanks.
Stop teasing. I want new skills and tactics.
Thank you for putting all of this in one place!
Well, it’s a nice summary of your videos, but I expected a new video, some kind of “step-by-step” tutorial :p
I cannot wait to see what the new rules for fire teams will be. Plus with the addition of the new hacker devices….. Sweet… I expect that this new hacker device will compose of SWORD-2 and SWORD-3 program types as these are missing in the N3 rulebook.
Thanks for putting all of this in one place. I missed most of it the first time around
The best way to start Infinity? buy a starter set, read the basic rules, build your first list in ARMY then create a cheat sheet of all of the skills, abilities and weapons then jump into a game! if you have any rules clarification questions the infinity forum is a great, friendly place to ask.
Great list of resources for Infinity. Thanks BOW!
A nice intro for beginners, thanks!
I wish there were more gamers in my town, not that I need another skirmish game I rarely play, but it looks like a lot of fun to paint.
Is there any chance you can pin this to the top of the hub for infinity?
Agreed, great starter guide and this would help keep it in a place of prominence.
Thanks! I’ve probably watched/read all of the links when they were posted, but it is handy to have them all in one place to revisit for us who are not intimately familiar with the game.
Awesome, this may persuade some of the gaming group guys to give Infinity a go! not a massive community in NZ
Nice,,Thank you.
Icestorm is the best way to get into the game if you are completely new. If you have not played for a while, MayaCast did a good series about the changes in N3 that I found very helpful!
a nice collection of resources
Excellent resource list for a new convert, thanks.
One starts at the beginning, obviously!
Maybe a link to information on ITS and Infinity organized play could help out those interested to see how CB tried to promote locaal gaming communities of Infinity.
Really useful stuff.. Other ways of learning Infinity is to just find bat reps on YouTube.
I’d add http://www.data-sphere.net and wiki.infinitythegame.com to the resource list
Top Games
very helpful
thx
been trying to get people to play in my area they all play warhammer most think infinity is way to hard to get into.
What a long and lovely week!
I have to start to play more infinity so I get to understand the rules better.
Saving this
Great stuff to begin with, well done!
It looks cool!
Pure awesome!
Re-watching the icestorm videos has made me take the plunge. Cant wait till it arrives 🙂
Awesomesouce!
Thanks for this overview, makes things much simpler for me. Though still having trouble deciding on just one faction (to start with) 😛
good stuff just sended it to friend that started infinity/
Why is there so much month left at the end of the paycheck?
This was super!
Pretty cool!
I loved this!
Cool show! 🙂
Cool rules!
Have absolutely loved the Infinity stuff on BOW. It was the original v2 week way back when that got me into the game. Still really learning the game even now, so much depth and don’t play as much as I’d like but have tons of the models 🙂
Hoping to play much more now and these series and the work down by BoW and Corvus is just great. Shout out to the Mayacast podcast too which gives me another great Infinity fix. thanks Kip and Tom or should I say Shall Dez! 🙂 Keep up the great work boys and more Killian and Infiniry Battle reports, tactics vids please!
Still very new to Infinity so this page is GOLD for me! Thanks @beastsofwar
This was lovely!
Great stuff!
Infinity is cool!
Infinity rox!
BoW do such a great job with CB to support Infinity, well done guys! Keep up the good work. 🙂
