INFINITY Week 2013: Designing the Tohaa
July 2, 2013 by anateus
The guys break out the new kids of the Infinity universe to have a look at what inspired the faction, their style of play, and the idea that their armour is symbiotic! Don't forget that what we're all getting a peek at is the art that didn't make it to the new Infinity art book, and it still looks fantastic!
Have a look at the Tohaa faction video if you missed it last time:

































haven’t started a tohaa force but love the look of them.
love the visual style of the tohaa
Interesting designs
nice aesthetic
loving the look and feel of the tohaa and really want to make a force, but might wait a little for a few more models yet!
I think Neema Satar has just pushed me over the edge for Tohaa.
Tohaa really have style. But my little pewter mountain keeps me from getting another faction. 🙁
really love the gao rael models for tohaa
Remind me of Asari somehow
Tohaa look amazing!
Getting total gamer ADD from these models. Going to end up with all the factions by the end of the week :/
Tohaa designs are absolutely gorgeous.
Neema Satar looks stunning. really like the looks of the Tohaa
So.. I can get the bounty hunter miniature for free if I pre-order the book you say? Heh for a minute there I thought we were going to do the Raymond sketch from the Simpsons!

As for the Tohaa I love the look of them and the concept but I haven’t really checked out their rules. I’ll probably pick up one or two just to paint because I love the style of their armour so much. I almost get a kind of Final Fantasy vibe from it.
Cool faction, hard to play tho
Neema will be a model to behold.
I am looking forward to the Art book more with every video!
Would have been just as interesting if they talked a bit about the Chaksa, which seem to be rather popular all by themselves.
I’d love to win a starter set or two so my friends and I can give infinity a try. Looks really good.
nice looking faction
I remember last year during Infinity week when the Tohaa were first unveiled. It was super exciting, and I was pretty much glued to the screen the entire week waiting for new tidbits, news and pictures.
I have been anxiously waiting for Neema Satar since that point. Any idea when she might appear?
Tohaa are my second army, love the style of the army and how it plays… we just need a TAG!! 🙂
Was not much for the Tohaa but as time goes on and I see more they are growing on me.
Since reading what they did on Paradiso, I hope the Tohaa get their just desserts one day! >:(
Love these interviews. I think this week is going to go by too fast.
Can’t wait to see more of the Tohaa.
Great videos so far, looking forward to more. Tohaa seem like a really exciting faciton.
I love the way the Tohaa look a like original startrek alien bad guys. I cannot wait to see their TAG in model form.
Haven’t got into the Tohaa background so far, but that video gives me an incentive. Great stuff, BoW!
Goodlooking army and very useful design information. Waiting for more!
Another great Infinity day. Neema Satar is one of my favorite minis in the game. Absolutely stunning.
Awesome!
awwweeeessssooommeeeee !
The Tohaa look so dang cool
Great work, thanks!
The Tohaa look awesome. Good mix of armor and organic. All of the Tohaa models have been great looking. Not a stinker among them.
like the videos keep it up
Another great video!
The favorite thing about the Tohaa design is that if the unit carries a combi-rifle they also have their pistol out. No idea why that’s so cool to me but it just works. Also seeing the HMG is pretty damn cool can’t wait for that version of the Gao-tarsos.
i do like these ones and also i like the interviews really good
The Tohaa design looks awesome.
Not the best video this week; bit more of a straight look through the concepts to minis for the Tohaa. Didn’t really get any insights into the faction specifically (unlike Aleph & Ariadna video where I feel I know them a bit better now)
The helmet on Neema is ok but I’d rather have faces to the special character names…
If only all Tohaa were wearing helmets I´d already own some. The design is interesting but the heads are really a downer.
Too bad the videos are so short i Would have like longer interview for each factions ( but great videos nonetheless)
so good its sensual
Looks pretty nice, especially love the design of the Hathail spec-ops.
I love the design of the Tohaa and the amount of details on their mini is amazing.
Ha Max Scorpio is Ryan Gosling in Drive, nice.
yay infinity, yay prizes
Tohaa rules! With this faction you can really see how they improved their sculpts and molds compared to the older models
Te tohas are very interesting. Cant wait to see what the future holds
Infinity is awesome, I love the haqislam bikers.
I was thinking about geting Toha or Nomads next.. Now I want Toha for sure, those guys are awesome. I bet they are quite hard to paint.
Neema is so amazing looking!:D
Very well designed faction
Give me more Infinity
Keep them coming, BoW and Corvus!
Looking really good.
i like the sleek design of the armor has a real medal gear solid feal to me
i’m enjoying this video series, as someone looking to get in to this game i am learning alot about the factions from these videos
the Tohaa look interesting.
The Tohaa do grow on you.
Neema looks amazing!
Nice
Love the art and the miniatures, but not the studio paint scheme. The yellow orange symbiotic armour I just can’t dig
These videos are getting me super excited about Infinity!
im new to table top war gaming but these minis are amazing
My second faction and still loving the Tohaa
haven’t had much of a look at the Tohaa, but they look really awesome.
Yay for the Tohaa ;0)
…I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THESE FACTION…..SPECIALLY THE CHAKSA AUXILIARIES…
enjoying this week!
Yay bounty huntress!
Hard to resist the lure of Tohaa.
Still resisting, though.
Pretty awesome the Tohaa are.
Looking forward this one, not seen much on these new guys.
Not sure how the Tohaa play as I’ve never encountered them but the Shavasti I have seen in action and they are the army for sneaky players!.
still not taken with with the look of the Tohaa, but one day the mini will come and that will be me sold
Amazing interviews. Makes want to collect all the factions.
I feel very much the same way and I’ve yet to buy even one Infinity mini. Damn you shiny syndrome!
Now, that tilts my interest more towards Tohaa then Aleph for sure.
Tohaa will definitely be my next faction.
NIce stuff.
Tohaa are my next faction, right after I finish my Aleph…
“Mashup of awesomeness” – like it
Great Work Carlos and Team. Hey BTW how do you announce winners?
these look excellent
These are cracking models. Different enough to be alien, without over doing it with talons or teeth.
Still have yet to see the Tohaa in my city here in Canada. Maybe it’s too cold, maybe… but my Nomads would love to shoot at them if they come around.
Figmentia is a terrible disease, now I have to get yet another faction!
Infinity week has been pretty awesome so far can wait for the rest
Really like Neema Satar
Neema Satar looks gorgeous. Can’t wait for the miniature to be released.
They are very very nice
cant wait to see more of these, fantastic looking miniatures, thanks guys
Not a big fan of the Tohaa models, but everyone else in my club loves’em. Diff’rent strokes, I guess…
Awesome! I’m not real interested in the Tohaa – but this was still pretty cool!
I almost got these as my first set but went for Combined Army instead
what can I say, these are once again wonderful minis
Just got into infinity and went with Tohaa for my faction, love everything about the, fluff, models, learning their different play style is proving to be a blast as well!
These designs look so futuristic and cool!
Not my favorite Infinity look – but I’ll take and paint anything!
I’m liking the style of the Tohaa more and more!
I didn’t like the Tohaa when I first saw them but they are quickly growing on me! It’s nice to have playable aliens other than the CA.
Wooooo variety.
Man, I hope they will show the first Tohaa TAG this week.
Infinity is really coming, the range is far enough to satisfy diffrent tastes, the minis are gorgeous the player base is solidified.
Am I the only who Neema remains me to some Mass Effect characters? It’s awesome!
I really don’t get along with this faction, but the models are amazing
Cool stuff!
Best space elves in any game that’s for sure
Like the Tohaa concept art.
Interested in finding out what went in to the design of the Tohaa.
I have a minimal Tohaa force, bt plan to expand it at some point.
Tohaa designs are both hit and miss with me. Really like their armor/bodysuit designs, though.
Fell in love with faction when I first the concept art at GenCon last year…
Been loving the look of the Tohaa.
The Tohaa are a really beautiful force. the models are sick. genuinely makes me proud to play and collect infinity. x
Tohaa are beautifully evil. Too bad they hate fire.
Can’t wait to see more models come out.
Haven’t seen much of the Tohaa (haven’t got the Campaign Paradiso book yet but I’m working on it) so far so this video was really interesting. Nice designs. Cool background. Like them!
If I collected a second army other than Nomads then I think it would be the Tohaa
I really don’t think there is an Infinity faction that I dont like the design of.
tohaa armour looks great and has his own game style
Neema Satar ! O.O
I really wonder what the TAG of this faction will look like. Love them so far.
Beautiful! Tohaa will become my second faction.
those sneaky Tohaa. i want to see their TAG.
I really want Neema now, really looking forward to see that sculpt available
Stuff!
I couldn’t resist and have these as faction #4.
Just more xenos to kill. At least they will be helping kill the other xenos before then. They do have a good amount of nice models but I don’t think I will ever have an army of them.
ENTRY!
True! I’de love to see a Tohaa TAG….and more Aleph TAGs (no achilles does not count, he’s far too short)
With the style of the Tohaa armour, I’ll just love to see what the TAG looks like – I’m imagining synthetic muscles and biceps below armour plates. I wonder how the pilot will sit?
Neema looks great!
I love how black and white evil the Tohaa are.
cant wait to play vs tohaa
This has been some great indepth coverage so far. I hope it brings in some new players.
Tohaa are definitely growing on me.
Weirdly, I really like the background and the concept arts but I don’t really get in the minis …
Well, maybe later 😉
More than anything I’m starting to get really interested in the games fluff. Seems like its better than a lot of other stuff out there.
These are crazy detailed miniatures.
At first, I wasn’t sold on the Tohaa. But the more that come out, the cooler they look.
Love the Neema Satar Love Infinity
Can we have an Infinity Month?
I have never really thought about fielding a Tohaa army but the design and color scheme used for the models looks amazing.
There hasn’t been a Tohaa miniature yet that I haven’t liked.
Crazy cool minis!
Time to start a tohaa force. Seeing the gao-tarsos in the tohaa bone color in the art over the grey the site shows certainly makes the unit more appealing to paint.
Reptilian or even serpentine is the word I would use to describe the Tohaa. A great looking faction I haven’t bought anything for yet but I’m holding out for a good deal (possibly this week??)
Keep it coming guys.
Probably the best looking space elves anywhere
I dig the Tohaa.
Whoa!! The new tohaa look sooo good!! Might start them as a second army! Currently i’m playing the Combined army!!
Great Video Guys
I want to face against them to see what they are like.
nice
Tohaa looks good but they are to human like to me. I reckon combined army looks more aliens and I wanted to see ‘alien’.
Really like the concept of the Tohaa … think it would be cool to make some kind of ancient alien temple board (with ziggurats), and then base the Tohaa with some fancy resin ‘temple’ style bases.
Thank you for all these nice interviews.
I would love to try my Naffatun one day against Tohaa
Oh yeh.
I love the Tohaa Art work, but I’m not a huge fan of their first minutes. I like the chaksa and helmed guys a lot, but the regular Tohaa forces face’s look so strange to me.
Great to learn more about all of the different factions. Gonna leave it til the end of the week before I decide which faction to start.
This was really interesting. I like the way they run their design ethos. The art informs the model and the model informs the art. You don’t see that in most games.
To be honest I wasn’t really interested in the Tohaa initially, and I wasn’t too keen on the colour scheme, but they are starting to grow on me, and some of the newer stuff is looking really great!
Time to clear out my overpriced brand of models and invest more in Infinity!
They look rather cool. Have any fans ever designed concepts that CB have taken and made models of them.
This faction looks amazing. So must have thus game.
Too many great factions. What is a poor boy to do.
very nice.
Really nice.
Really enjoying these videos , the insight into the design process is very interesting.
The Tohaa are pretty cool.
To-haave some figures from Infinity would be great!
First that i have seen the Neema Satar and she looks amazing ;D
At first I did not like them that much. But the Chaksa I just bought for sheer awesomeness.
Enjoying all the Infinity love going on here. It’s making me think about trying some factions I normally wouldn’t. Tohaa is certainly interesting enough to give them a shot.
I want more!
Favorite faction thus far!
I really like the Tohaa aesthetic. Slightly more human than the Combined army but less human than the Pan Oceana. Each new model seems to flesh out their style nicely!
The first time i see the toha they not convince me very much but whit the time and the miniatures you are you taking i must recognize that they have cacth my attention XD. And the toha rule for the fireteams is very cool.
Love this week!! Thanks!
Brett
Heh, the Elves of the Infinity universe. I hadn’t thought of that, but now I see it… pretty cool stuff.
Looks like this might be a faction I would get after Ju Ching
Love the look of the tohaa, a very distinct style and some striking colour combos, the models really push the limits of miniature sculpting
Loving these vids
I’m entering in the hopes of winning and finally finding out what all the hubbub about Infinity is.
Wow, I really like that Diplomatic Delegate art. I love the concept of a “cute young thing” (that may well be biomodified, we’re talking Tohaa after all) oozing harmlessness, while concealing a very shrewd, analytical mind, and excellent espionage/escape skills.
Tohaa really do have some of the best looking minis
Tohaa are definitely intriguing. It will be interesting to see more minis as they continue to be released.
I own the gao tarsos. Amazing. Utterly.
Tohaa look cool!
Grrr trohaa, never won….
Hathail has a kind of Han Solo ish feel to his art
These guys are a bit scary, though like the colour schemes!
Painting Tohaa looks like fun with inks.
best looking faction
Hmm, the Tohaa are growing on me, the level of detail is amazing.
These look really high-tech. Awesome.
Going to be so poor.
very tricksy faction
Damn I am loving these videos!!!
I think all the factions really nice design.
Anyone get the impression everyone wants free shiney stuff
Me included
keep this great videos
Another faction to possibly make my wallet cry!
Looking forward to more Tohaa
Interesting faction 🙂
I was sceptical of the Tohaa at first, but I’m really starting to like them. I especially liked the heavy infantry one. Can’t wait to see the model!
I’m not buying them but definitely Tohaa range it’s one of the best ones right now.
I haven’t come to the grips with the whole faction. I don’t like their minis but see huge potential with their rules.
Guess you can’t have it all 😀
The Tahoo sound lot like Tau …..
I was never sure about this race… I’ll be sure to read the fluff. Cause the mini’s do have a certain alien charm,,,
Tohaa are looker better with each release.
I am looking for infintiy Tohaa players here in Argentina, because I havent fought them yet.
The chaksas are really nice!!!
Bernohn
Bernohn.blogspot.com
makes me consider a tohaa squad..
I’m really interested in starting Tohaa, but I’d like to get some other parts of my main factions filled out first.
The Tohaa seem hard to play. Very defensive, but good against combined army.
Not enough time to wacth every thing yet….
I was hesitant on buy or not to buy the artbook 1.
But now I have make my choice, after I heard in the artbook we can see the Tohaa “naked” ,… with and whithout their simbiont armor I mean =P
This is quite interesting, just to see how deep the creation process is.
Tohaa are getting some good looking minis!
Great design! Much better then CA…
This was my favorite interview. I really like the Tohaa Aesthetic, I said I was only going to do 1 faction (CA) but I knew I was hooked when they released the starter.
Got to love the colour scheme of the studio Tohaa army.
loving the look,wish i win since i can’t spend any €!
Infinity, one of the best table top games ever invented. I’m a big GW gamer, hell I’ve been one since the Rogue days and I have seen nothing like this, from game system, figures, customer service, etc.
This company is just incredible, they put new figures monthly (Nobody does that) yes they have missed a couple of months but they stay strong.
Best of Luck CB
Brother G
A great week. Thanks BoW and CB
Just loving this week, such great artwork and the Infinity models are just so great.
I like the design of the Tohaa. The Chaksa models are very cool and I like idea of a support unit without a robotic design.
Nethertheless I would love to see a new alien faction or alien sectorial with an increased level of strangeness. No humanoid base design. No hacker technology but intuitive use of the net by telekinetic abilities (but concerning the rules it works the same way as hacking).
However, Corvus Belli has developed very nice ideas for the background and the design of the Tohaa. I hope that the story of this Company will go on in this successful way in the future!
Neema Star is beautiful work.
I’ve seen Tohaa played. They seem interesting but the local player of them hasn’t entirely found his stride with them. In time I’m sure it will all come around. I appreciate though the info.
the Tohaa are one of the coolest factions around.
Having seen a friend’s Tohaa, I can really agree that these are probably the most detailed (and delicate!) Infinity minis to date.
Can’t wait to see where this faction goes
Tohaa miniatures are really full of details. Too much for my bad painting skills.
Really impressive stuff.
So looking forward to the Artbook – and lots of fantastic new miniatures 🙂
Love the aesthetics of the Tohaa!
I love the sleek style of the Tohaa. They’re not bad for xenos.
Neema Satar. WOW. Want.
really like the predatory feel to these guys, beatifully sculpted faces in particular
Tohaa are very interesting. Even more than sectorials, they either win amazingly, or they die horribly. I’d like to see more of them, and particularly their weirder diplomatic Corps etc.
mashup of awesomeness, great models

I love the pose of the Diplomatic Delegate miniature. Nice to see a mini not holding a big gun.
