The Infinity Warcors Show Off More From new ALEPH Set!
May 17, 2015 by brennon
The Infinity Warcors have got their hands on some additional artwork of the new ALEPH Set that will be coming to Infinity which includes Draikos and some Devabots alongside the lovely Scylla we've already seen...
You can see the video above for some more shots of the artwork for the miniatures and also head over to their website for more in Spanish if you'd like. I'm loving the look of the Devabots and Draikos is one awesome character. I'm really starting to warm to this faction as a whole which I never thought I'd say as someone who loves the look of Ariadna.
What do you think?
"I'm loving the look of the Devabots and Draikos is one awesome character..."
I want Scylla! Truly beautiful!
Looks like Justin 😛
Exactly what I thought
@dignity it may be time you change to @draikos 🙂
LOL
Oh, wow… Just the kick in the butt I might need to start an Aleph force !
…like you need any excuse!
Always look forward to Infinity eye candy. Blown away almost every time.
Great looking artwork as one might expect from Infinity, but the direct comparison between the gear and poses of the Scylla and Draikos models really does highlight how differently male and female characters are treated in terms of visual depiction – Draikos is in a neutral, at rest pose wearing what at least looks like some kind of functional personal armour that actually covers most of his body, while Scylla… isn’t.
On a less contentious note, I do really like the Devabots. Infinity has always had excellent drones and mecha units with a great Appleseed/Ghost in the Shell feel to them.
I’m pretty sure the armour for the female character isn’t all that important, because she’s a robot anyway. Infinity’s style is anime, and you could certainly compare Aleph’s aesthetics with those of Ghost in the Shell (which had whatshername get naked all the time).
I think I’m right in saying that the fluff behind the Aleph robot people looking so aesthetically lovely, is so that they can mix better with the normal human population?
I certainly get and understand what you’re saying though, in that it can be disappointing when it gets a little too cheesecakey (CB have generally gotten better, although there has been the odd relapse), but I think in this instance, the illustration is more in keeping with the general aesthetic of the faction.
But if Scylla is a robot… doesn’t that mean that Draikos probably is as well? And so would also be less dependent on armour and engineered to be easy on the eyes? And yet he wears armour and she doesn’t? For that matter, why does Achilles – justifiably called the mini-TAG – wear so much armour? He has a really high end proxy body designed specifically for combat that one assumes is pretty much fully armoured in its own right, and the ancient Greek culture his design alludes to is full of artistic depictions of the heroic male form wearing not very much, especially in the context of mythic warriors such as Achilles. If any character could claim a classical justification for being depicted wearing almost nothing, it would be him, and yet he is covered almost from head to toe…
I completely agree that Ghost in the Shell is another offender – as much as I love the concepts underpinning the franchise, its great visual design, and the general intelligence of its story telling, it is interesting that Motoko tends to wear lots of skin-tight outfits and often not very much at all, and yet other fully cyberised characters who happen to be male, like Batou, seem quite capable of keeping their clothes on. And Appleseed is even more blatent; the regularly half naked Duenan is fully human, yet her almost entirely cybernetic partner Briarios consistently wears more clothing than she does.
In many ways anime, even the best of anime, has a lot to answer for with regard to this issue.
^100% agree with all of this.
I can’t really argue with you, because I generally agree with you. Infinity’s aesthetic is anime, and anime is also guilty of having women wear little vs men.
I could perhaps…weakly….argue that the men are also being unrealistically depicted in all being well built and attractive.
I have already said the reason given as to why aleph are attractive to the eye (the named Greek characters are there to inspire humanity; normal humans would be more willing to corporate with attractive robots…something that has recently been touched on in the flim Deus ex machina perhaps?).
The universe takes place so far in the future, i.e., it isn’t a problem / issue if people want to change how they look (again, you can see this with what people are already doing with their bodies).
Whether these are excuses that have come after the fact that someone has created a model they wanted to have big boobs, I don’t know, as I only recently got into the game (although only slightly, so the fluff above may very well be wrong).
There are things to champion in this game; that women are just as good as men (the stats indicate no difference), and contribute a significant amount in this universe.
As I said earlier though, I ultimately agree with you; there is too much boob plate going on; I don’t understand why so many women in this universe go into battle with heels on; why there is a disparity in the amount of armour going on when its male vs female (although you can generally just paint the exposed skin as an undersuit), why the females seem to be the ones pulling a pose and pointing somewhere, etc…
I will say it has generally gotten better although some recent models have relapsed into cheesecake territory.
As a slight sidenote, I’ll say that GW’s Dark Eldar range, especially the wyches, has got to be one of the better ones when it comes to its depictions of females.
To be fair, the two have completely different roles.
Scylla is a hacker, a support trooper, and Drakios is probably meant for the front-lines with that flamethrower.
So it is natural for them to have different amounts of armour.
As well as being inspiring the Steel Phalanx also have to pass as humans, so no bare-chested macho-men being bulletproof, they need to at least make it look as if is the armour taking the hits.
It is not hard to find bad depictions of women in Infinity, but you need to compare two units of the same type
Weaksauce! Any Morat is way cooler than any Aleph fleshbag! Morats are top notch, Morats are number one, Morats blow shit up! (as a Morat I’m a bit biased but you can trust my objectivity you dirty human…true story).
