INFINITY Week 2013: Designing Yu Jing
July 3, 2013 by anateus
Time for a look at the killer art for the Yu Jing that didn't make it to the new Infinity Art Book. Asuka Kisaragi is one of them and this mean biker chick might have something to say about that! Carlos delves into the design and choices behind creating this awesome Oriental faction.
Heres the link to last years Yujing Video if you missed it:

































All these artwork are amazing!
If Asuka catches a bug in that outfit, that’s gonna hurt like hell. 🙂
i want that boob already …
Keep your pants on mate!
Artwork is great, but still not sold on the faction.
Asuka rocks. Best looking miniature in Infinity.
That Neko reminds me to “Mugen” from Samurai Champloo!!! Maybe it’s inspired by him?
I do like the bikes in infinity.
My first army is a Yu Jing force heavy on Japanese sectorial elements
Dunno. I think the asia-samurai-hi-tech-mash-up is somehow too (!) obvious for a game like Infinity.
Good to see the Hac Tao getting some attention.
Can’t wait to see the Tian Di Frontier sectorial list in full detail eventually.
(No Imperial Service love?)
Good stuff!
I love the look of this army. The concept for Asuka is great.
Big fan of the bikes and suits for yu jing… man.. It’s so hard to pick one of these factions, and stick with just one.
actually, impossible.
Yu Jing is IMO the best faction of all …
All the minis looks AWESOME 😀
Love learning more about what went into each faction.
Oh that sectorial will be brilliant, cant wait to see camo HI raiding troops.
I wonder if they plan to add bikes to the Imperial Service Sectorial.
Well, generic Authorised Bounty Hunters do have a 5% chance to appear with a bike via Booty L2 if one takes them in an Imperial Service list I suppose.
Yu-Jing are a lovely blend of styles.
Bring in more chicks on bikes. I reckon Ju Yong should be the most manga style factions, preferably Ghost in the Shell like:).
Hmmm… neat!
These concept art are marvelous! Big love for Yu Jing!
Great designs
between the new miniatures and that artwork, a Yu Jing bike gang is looking very tempting
I do love the look of the Yu Jing, especially the bikers
Gotta love futuristic ninjas!
Ooh I think I’ve found my faction*
* I have thought that in repsonse to all the vids so far
I can’t wait to see more bike units in the Yu Jing – even if I never play them, I’ll still pick up a few because they are great models to paint. Still not sold on the front wheel of Asuka’s bike though..
Great stuff
i do like these
I would certainly like to see bikes and light vehicles in infinity.
I actually prefer the Chinese over the Japanese.
Where are the Koreans at.
I think the Aleph/Penthesilea is just so much better looking. Hopefully there will be some means of fielding the Authorized Bounty Hunters on bikes too…
Hi Tech Samurai Ninja Monks with guns what’s not to love!
One of the more, sleek urban races in the game, I’ve always been interested in them. This art book seems like a good idea to me.
I love the aesthetics of the Yu Jing, especially the HI. I wish the front wheel of the motorcycles was bigger though.
The host should not be so eager to show that he understands things and not how he interprets things. All in all he should play a entire diffrent role than the guest. He needs to be an interviewer, he needs to dig for the gold Carlos has, needs to offer to lead and moderate but not try to provide the information. How many questions did he ask carlos during the interview ?
Still love Infinity week.
It was seeing the Yu Jing Shaolin Monk models on here that first made me start looking into Infinity. I didn’t go with Yu Jing in the end, but I still love the models, and really enjoyed the sneaky little hints from Carlos! 🙂
Well Cloud Strife is the Protagonist of FF VII, the Antagonist would be Sephiroth, who had an even larger sword.
Can´t wait for the Huang Di Sectorial.
Love the armor design for these guys–looks like a bunch of badasses.
The bikes are crazy good, even better than the aleph one
Iam buttonsmashing now
the bikes are nice but im not sure about the bikers
amazing artwork!
My 4th Faction. I like their in-your-face-playstyle. They can bring raw power to the battlefield.
I’m very much a fan of the Chinese influences on Yu-Jing minis. Less so the Japanese. That said Yu Jing is my favorite faction by far!
Maybe a japanese sectoral starter pack???
Honestly the more I look at infinity the more I want the complete range. Really awesome models
I was actually thinking on buying a Japanese Starter. I’ll wait to see if I’m lucky enough to get a price!
Great models from the Yu Jing range,even if you don’t play them or aren’t interested, ya gotta respect the models 🙂
Hurray for Haqqislam prizes!
YuJing for the win! My faction through and through. And I love the new bikers.
Yu Jing is gonna be my second faction. Just love the style, and like alot of other people, loving the bikes!
i want these so much
yay infinity, yay prizes
Some really good looking minis 🙂
Now I want to see this new bikes for Haqquislam! Yu-Ying is now the “most likely faction for a second army” for me, just behind my haqquislam troops 🙂
Nifty 😉
The oniwaban are from the nicest miniatures of this game. Imo.
Thanks for the insight!
Interesting concept art.
the art is so amazing why am i not playing this game !!!
I am blown away by the Asuka artwork.
Those bike looks really cool.
Yu-Jing – another sneaky army – ninjas, hac-tao etc. Once saw a hac-tao take out a Pan-O TAG in close combat.
Love the bike!
Mmmmm motorbikes
Army looks great just all of CB’s stuff however I prefer the Chinese stuff over the JSA
Really diggin’ these design videos! Thanks CB and BoW for doing this!
The bikes are pretty awesome looking. I could also picture Yu Jing riding monobikes like those in the Venus Wars anime.
I’m really digging the bikes!
This is awesome – love the leak about a new sectorial coming. I’m starting up my first Yu Jing force, an ISS team… so this was great.
Almost went with this army.
Girls, Guns and Bikes = Win,Win,Win
Best looking faction IMO.
Yu Jing bike gang all the way!
Great bikes
This are the absolute best Manga-Styles in Infinity. 🙂
Lovely ladies and ninjas, what more do you need?
mmm space samurai
…….KILLED BY SHADOWS…..HELL YEAHH!!!….LOVE THE NINJAS!!!!!!
This is my fav faction so far!
Oh my I am in love and I think I have found my faction
Awesome artwork again…
all the artwork is amazing, can’t wait to see what the book holds!
For all those people commenting on Asuka’s cleavage, I imagine she’s zip up if she knew she was making an extended ride at high speed…
I wouldn’t mind seeing a nice fire team box for Hac Taos though… lol Maybe with another female Hac Tao sculpt~
Really awesome looking future ninjas, excited to see some more of them.
I am having a problem, resisting, must buy.. another faction.
New Yu Jing sectoral sounds like it’ll be fantastic.
New sectorial with HacTao!? Very exciting.
love the futuristic samurai/asian feel to this army
Really stylish looking faction, and those bikes are just incredible.
i don’t know how to not like this
Asuka looks beautiful, better than Pentesilea i think
I wish the Japanese looked even more anime/J-drama rather than space samurai :/
Awesome manga style bikes!
Asuka rocks.
She will be mine even though i dont play yu jing
The japanese sectorial was my first army, this motos and samurais and ninjas was the thing that convince me to do that army, i think this was fault for see a lot manga and anime XD. Asuka kisaragi rules XD.
Hot chicks on bikes, gotta love it. I like the penthesilea model the best.
These guys were tbe my second army, but then tohaa… Maybe my third?
I’ve got mad Nomad love but I had to get a JSA. Yeah Yu-jing!
Yay, JSA!
Infinity and give aways? Count me in!
Love this week!! Thanks!
Brett
Funny stuff regarding the origin of the bike troops – always good to see designers/artists take interest in their own games in that way.
I squealed like a little girl when Hac Tao suddenly appeared. My fav unit in Infinity. Looks badass, also – bikes are awesome. I would love to hear more names for Yu Jing units pronounced, sooo… Another Infinity week next month maybe?:P
Can’t wait to paint Asuka!
My favourite looking army………….only just though.
Love the look of this faction as he said who doesn’t love samurais in space!
Really love the look of Yu Jing. I need that Asuka Kisaragi model!!!
damn Yu Jing and there sexy outfits
Love the concept, and execution.
There is nothing they can do to beat the Hyperpower. PanOceania rules!!
one of my favourite factions!!!!
Really liking these videos and getting an insight into the design of the infinity range
I just love those bike models.
Cool stuff!
Infinity sculpts just keep getting better and better! That Hac Tao looks like a beast!
That biker chick is really awesome!
For me, JSA is enough. Though it’s hard to win certain missions, specially in paradiso, reinforcements(both in troops profiles and newest miniatures) are brutally awesome!
Yu Jing has always been very striking
Those bike units are really cool. Any plans to add other mounted unit types? Horses, power suits… segways?
Vanilla YJ is my second faction and while I’m not big fan of JSA sectorial their bikers make up for all the things I dont like in the rest
I wish my bank account and I were on better terms right now. So many cool minis.
Bikes!
Love the bikes. Ariadna need some hogs now.
Very cool.
The art work for the Yu-Jing is so amazing looking!:D
ENTRY!
Love the cleavage on those bikes
I’m entering in the hopes of winning and finally finding out what all the hubbub about Infinity is.
The new Bikes nearly want to make me play the Japs.
Must add some to my Japanese sectorial army. Bikes look favourite
Can’t wait for the Hac Tao sectorial! All the units mentioned are either camo’d, heavy infantry or both! Just wondering what the line infantry would be – fun as it might be, might need more than five roving TO heavies gunning across the table.
Maybe I’ll build a little Yu Jing force full motorcycles 🙂
I don’t play this faction but I bought those bikes anyways!
Great video.
Want it
New Sectorial Confirmed!
When Carlos talks about “Concept Art” and design and how important it is to motivate, I really feel the passion these guys bring to the game and their work. This is why the BEST miniatures are coming out of Spain and France. Keep up the awesome work guys!
i love the outfits but i love the style of the bike so much i want a full size one
As my favourite Faction (just narrowly edging out my second favourite: Ariadna) I was so happy to see Carlos talk about Yu Jing. These videos were an awesome idea and Infinity week should definitely happen every year (if not twice a year!).
Thanks Beasts of War and Infinity for doing a great job to really get people interested in the background and flavour of the game. 😀
Love those biker models. It would be awesome to do a sectorial army based around them.
Best ninjas anywhere.
Samurai in space….Gotta love it
The new Hac Tao really wowed me. I have both older minis and was all like “Meh, why waste money on a new one when I can convert the MR one to a HMG”. How wrong I was, there really is a noticeable increase of detail. Good work CB.
Dont really care for the faction but Asuka looks awesome. It would be a great miniature to paint.
Almost want to paint up Neko as Cloud now.
looks cool.
Love the chicks on bikes
Awesome concepts.
Yu Jing – if you aint first you’re last
Yu Jing has really nice powerarmours!
Cool weapon designs. Ninjas and motorcycles. Nice combo.
Yu-Jing (well, Jap Sec) is my second army! Otaku for liiiife.
Cannot wait for those sectorial armies with extra of Dao Fei and Guilang in ti.
Also was hoping a bit more explanation for that useless sengoku era armour over Neko’s Domaru, I’m fine with the jacket but cannot understand why he would need a thousand year old paper armour over his Hi-tech one.
Love the look of domaro, a cool kind of samurai feel slightly.
Really love those new bikers. Serisousy considering a senkenbutai force supported by ninja’s. Because….ninja’s…..
this group looks great, not sure about as my starting group though…
Wonder if I will win something only ever won 1 thing in my life can’t remember what that was…..
Love the Hac Tao love all of Infinity no money no moneeeeyyyy!
love the bikes!
I am glad they finally got their Flamer Bike chic!
at last my faction
Love the robot feel, the bikers, and the transforming remote!
Extremely cool one of my armies
Loving the new bike models that we’re seeing. NEED!
Ninjas & Samurai FTW!
love the biker miniatures
Favorite Faction
I am such a fan of the Japanese sectoral army YEAH
I hope they eventually give some more flavor to other Asian cultures within the Empire.
It’s exactly like Carlos said: i love the perfect mix of traditional and scifi elements of the yujing faction.
I’m looking forward for this new sectorial!
Not sold on bikes in a game but love the other ones.
That ass…
JSA was my first love, and the concept of cyber samurai and space ninjas had me instantly hooked. Add bikers to the mix and the Japanese sectorial is my faction.
And the models are a real pleasure to paint.
Biker hackers! The brilliance!
Yu Jing has always been where its at for me. Love the new female biker ;0)
Dropped in bit about the upcoming Khan Sectorial was the highlight for me 🙂
Probably going to get into Yu Jing just so I can run Mushashi
Is there any reason, apart from in order to attract the male audience, why majority of the factions feature female warriors?
Great stuff!
well that’s me pre-ordered
Damn ninjas. Look sweet though.
Damn I am loving these videos!!!
That sectorial sounds like it might cost me…
I love how the Look of Yujing has evolved over the years. the most recent releases look amazing.
that bikker is amazing
the girl on the bike is amazing
Yeah she’s my girl we have been staring for years
I really want that Asuka unit lol
The bikes look awesome
Like the bikes!
Another fantastic video. Who doesn’t love space ninjas.
I like Asuka’s concept art a lot more than the actual miniature.
One of my favorite factions. I just love the minis and how they managed to incorporate the Imperial system with what is essentially a communist state. Love them, love them.
These are the most splendid oriental scify minis i ever saw.
Yu jing were my second first love… Corvus belli just makes em to awesome!
Love the manga style models!
I am not a big fun of Yu Jing, but the Aragotos, I would love to have such a troop in the Morat Army!

They have lolita on bike and cyber-samurais. What’s more to want?
The Yu Jing is my army!!!
ninjas in space? hell yes
Hot chicks on bikes. Nuff said
Another good interview.
Asuka looks hot and killer! Looking foward for the mini!
Really enjoying these videos.
Asuka looks great! But i am not sure if Aleph bike for Yojimbo is good idea…
Ko Nishiwa,
Yu Jing is may favorite faction, but I have to go in detail of course. The JSA is my favorite Sectorial army and I’m part of the rebels, who want to separate Japan again from the awful chinese regime. The reason is: I love the design of the JSA very much.
And I’m also looking forward to the new Sectorial of Svalarheim!!!!
CB is great!
For Japan! For Freedom!
Asuka Kisaragi baby got back!
The concept this army is great.
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
I got my Neko, haven’t used him yet but should soon. I can hardly wait though for the new box of Aragoto! So lovely and deadly.
That Hac Tao art I’ve never seen before. Amazing.
My favorite faction.
Artwork is great and I love the Aleph Penthesilea but these biker models are also fantastic
I like the army overall but the bikes are just awesome.
those bikes look really cool
more motorcycle madness please
Biker chicks…how can you go wrong!
Yu Jing is my third army – really love the motorbikes.
Asuka is nice.
Really impressive stuff.
So looking forward to the Artbook – and lots of fantastic new miniatures 🙂
I really wont to know more on the 3° sectorial for Yu Jing
the guillang is my favorite miniature..^^
I think it would be kinda neat to see the Japanese sectorial make some sort of play against their Chinese overlords. Maybe a small rebellion, something like that.
Visually stunning models
Yu Jing bikers have been a pain in my existence for a long time. Can we have some in PanO or Nomads please?
I’m always a sucker for the oriental sci-fi themes.
lovely bike sculpts, might have to get some just because
I am SOOOO getting a Japanise Sectorial army. I love the combined influence of Kurosawa movies and anime. I particularly loved the latest Kenshin reference pose. Good Job.
New to infinity. Loving these videos
posting4thewin
New Haqqislam bikes? Yes please!
Also thinking of getting an Aragoto gang and painting them like the Akira gang.
