Infinity March releases

This months awesome releases... March is a good month!!!

So once more we have the lovely looking releases from Corvus Belli, for their Infinity range. Excited! Yet again they've chosen to utilise Facebook's significantly more potent servers to release these images on first. Hopefully sparing their own servers the indignity of grinding to a halt yet again. Wise move if you ask me, and I hope it's one they'll stick to. Because there's nothing more frustrating than knowing there are shiny new Infinity miniatures out there, and no way to see them because their servers have melted under the weight of expectation. So I'll be taking you through the releases as best I can I guess, oh yes, and I'll be linking to the Infinity Wiki throughout this article to the skills so that new comers to the game aren't left scratching their heads about what I'm talking about. The Infinity Wiki by the way is an awesome resource. So shall we get on with it?

Hafza Spitfire

So what do I think of the look of the miniature? Well you can't accuse it of being a static Haqqislam catalogue model pose sculpt, that's for sure! Do I like it though? Nope, he looks awkward and I'm not so sure the sense of movement is quite right. But lets be clear here, compared to most miniature ranges he's bloody brilliant. No it's just that when you compare it to the Infinity range as a whole it's at best average, and more than likely slightly below average. So I guess it's not that bad at all given how good the range is! So how does our cheeky chappy perform on the table? Well I quite like the Hafza's in general. They actually fulfil my specified role as a 'useful Lieutenant'. I believe you see, that the free Lieutenants order you get in Infinity is a useful little resource you should try to use every turn. So you'll need a pretty good lieutenant to use it. But, not one that is so good you'll need to chuck them forward to make your battle plan work, you don't want to unnecessarily run the risk of being in loss of Lieutenant. The Hafza is perfect for this. So I guess given I like Spitfires, I'm really pleased to see the Spitfire variant released. They've got a pretty good statline with a good solid standard MOV 4-4 and a decent BS 12, which means you're going to be able to make best use of that Spitfire. They also come with the pretty nifty skill of Holoprojector L1, which allows you to deploy another miniature of similar size on the board instead of the actual miniature. Nifty for hiding the identity of your Lieutenant, it's a skill I really like. You can pretend to be something really nasty or something more innocuous. It's good fun to play around with. All in all it's not a bad option and it might surprise your opponent when you finally reveal what it is, and open up with that Spitfire. For 23 C and 1 SWC for both variants I think it's a highly viable option, oh yeah and in a Qapu Khalqi force the Hafza's are Linkable, and given the cost of some of the options I say they're viable as a good solid link team.
