I do believe they are a little bit better about the cheesecake since they started their Bootleg diorama line to get the porny pin-up stuff out of their system. Skintight bodysuits and some bare midriffs will likely stay with us forever (battle heels, as well), but see-though nipples, bare asscheeks hanging out of thongs and "tee-hee you can see my knickers!" poses seem to be on the decrease.

I hate you CB!!! You are just making this rules for sell lots of copies of the same miniature!! You greedy bastards!!!

For those new, Carlos is Bostria, aka one of the devs, the most recognizable face of Corvus Belli, and an incorrigible troll. I love this game :allears:

...also, the other April releases will be a Clipsos sniper and a Morat Vanguard SWC box.

I'm in a similar position to HiveCommander so a lot of that was helpful, thanks.

What I wanted to ask was, how viable is it to base an Ariadna force around Kazaks? A while back I picked up a second-hand demo box that had two Line Kazaks with rifles, a Line Kazak with HMG, and a Veteran Kazak with HMG in it (all seem to now be discontinued). Now that a friend is starting to play I thought I'd get the Ariadna starter box and focus on a team that looks like it came out of the STALKER computer game.
Is that doable or do I have to include the kilt men and weird dog guys?

Also, is there any indication at all that the company are going to move away from the atrocious style that every female model seems to be in? Looking through the various ranges on the website there's a rather striking juxtaposition between awesome models of men, and frankly embarrassing models of women that I have no real interest in painting or using.

Some models just can't be fixed, but many can be saved from female-as-sex-object hell they are in through the application of a little green stuff and paint. Bare midriff annoying you? Greenstuff the bellybutton and paint a form fitting undershirt on the model.

Kazaks kick rear end and are a totally viable basis for an Ariadna force. Kilt men and dog guys are not required, but can be fun if you can get past your distaste for them. Add tank hunters, Assault drop troops, and some Traktor Muls (sp?) and you have a good kiltless/dogless army.

I'm in WA, and even then I'm a good 6 hours out of Perth. One of the guys that comes along to the local gaming club has been trying to round up support for non-GW wargames for the past couple months and has had a bit of success. A few people (myself included) got started on Warmachine/Hordes and Infinity's the next on the list.

I really really like the Infinity/Warmachine combo for mini-gaming. They give you VASTLY differing experiences but both have very solid and fun rules, great theme and models, and good price points. The price points thing stops sounding so good after two years of trying to keep up with both systems though, oh lawd my wallet :smithicide:.

Bit of a news heads up, any models that require base extensions from now on are going to be based on a 55mm base. You don't need to change your old models ofc.
http://infinitythegame.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22208-bases-new-official-rules/#entry455753

quote:

Hi everyone!

With the new Kum, there is a big renovation of the bases. You have noticed that those new Kum carries a new 55mm base. It means that there is a new base size in our catalogue. Let's see what changes:


-Ghost-Servant miniatures (like Palbots): 25mm Base


-"Human" miniatures (the standard ones): 25mm Base


-Basic Remotes (like Yaokong or Dronbots): 40mm Base


-Special Remotes: Changes to 55mm Base
Yaoxie
Yáopú Pangguling
Every motorbike (Kum, Pentesilea, Aragotos, Asuka Kisaragi)
Traktor Mul
Mulebots
Armbots: Bulleteer
Armbots: Peacemaker
Kameel
Salyut Zonds
Tsyklon Sputnik
Lunokhod Sputnik
Probots
***Obsidon Medchanoid keeps their 40mm base***


-Big "Human" miniatures (like Ayax or Tarik): 40mm Base


-TAG: keeps their 40mm Base:
Geckos
Sphinx

-TAG: Everyone (except the mentioned before) change to 55mm base.


The new 55mm bases will be included in the references that needs that size of base from May on.


Also, with the April news, we'll launch 3 new products:

-Blister with 20 x 25mm Bases 3.50€
-Blister with 5 x 40mm Bases 3.50€
-Blister with 5 x 55mm Bases 3.50€



Related to ITS rules:

Quote

During this season it won’t be mandatory to update the bases of the miniatures. We will keep the rules on the ITS documentation: miniatures have to be based with the base provided with the figure or with one of the same size.

It’s important to remember that both 40 mm and 55 mm bases can go through Wide Gate access markers.


Any doubt you have, please, tell us.


Regards!
