Yes it's Infinity January release time again!

It's rapidly becoming my favourite time of the month... not that I have anything else which happens on a cycle every month you understand. But yet again it's time for Corvus Belli's servers to go into complete and utter meltdown and fall over as the weight of expectant fans crushes their puny none-Maya compliant servers! If Aleph was involved you just know this sort of shenanigans wouldn't happen. Any way as with last month I'll discuss the various releases from a aesthetic point of view as well as a gaming and tactical point of view. However, you might want to ignore my tactical advice because the only reason I seem to win is because the dice faeries still love me.

Die Morlock Gruppen

I don't really like the original sculpts I have to be brutally honest. Well I didn't like one of the original sculpts, the female one was OK. But when I saw these bad boys on Angel Giraldez's Blog a few days ago now I have to say I thought they looked absolutely brilliant. My favourite has to be the X-Men Beast inspired miniature. He's all sorts of awesome if you ask me. Mr Green and scaly isn't too bad either so he too gets my thumbs up. No doubt though many people will like little Ms Knife ears, the elf wannabe, or perhaps the blue skinned vixen with the dreadlocks and a weird looking boomerang! Lets be honest here, even if you're not an Infinity fan you have to admit these look pretty damn cool. So what are they like on the table? Well they're cheap as chips close combat troopers for the Nomads, with Martial Arts Level 2 and CC18, they're not bad. They are sadly impetuous though, which means they'll go tearing after the nearest enemy, which can be a pain in the proverbial. They do come with smoke grenades, which you know, is nice and you can actually get some of these for 0swc and 7 points if you take the chain rifle variant. They're in the Bakunin Sectorial Force, but sadly you can't make them into a link team to get rid of that irksome impetuous. They do however have one of Infinity's more 'fun' rules... MetaChemistry. Before battle you roll a D20 to determine what extra ability each Morlock has from +1 ARM to Total Immunity and many cool skills in between. They might not be the best troopers in the game, but they are lots of fun. These bad boys and girls will definitely find their way into my collection.
