Infinity April 2012 releases

This months releases.

So once again Corvus Belli have dropped their monthly Infinity releases on us. They actually did so on Wednesday via their Facebook Page, this being a new tactic they seem to be employing to stop the weight of rabid fanbois crashing their own servers every time they post something up on their own website. So I'm a couple of days late to the party so to speak, however, it's a bit of a tradition on this here Blog to talk about such things on a Friday, plus I really wanted to pour over the changes to a certain units profile! More on that later though. This months Angel Giraldez 'leak' was the lovely looking Hospitaller Knight Father-Officer Gabriele De Fersen... try saying that after a night out on the lash!!! So he seems as good a place as any to start.

Gabriele De Fersen (or Gabby for short)

OK when this was Angel's 'leak' this month I got all excited. It's actually quite rare you see for Angel's official unofficial leak to be the best miniature that month... but Gabby is utterly splendid. I can't empahsise enough just how cool it is to see one of the Pan-O knights sans helmet. There is a level of badassery in his pose, standing there helmet off surveying the battlefield looking for the next target. There's a lot of highly dynamic poses in the Infinity range and then there are the ultra static kickass I'm standing here deal with it poses too. Gabby is sitting somewhere nicely between these two extremes. He's not leaping over a barricade or standing there motionless and nonchalant, there's minor movement in his sword and rifle arms and that's mirrored by the ripples in his tabard. So I like the look of yet another Pan-O miniature... curse my eyes!!! What's he like on the tabletop then? Well he's a bit of a beast with his CC 17 and BS 14, he's a spitfire totting, AP + Shock CCW wielding meanie!!! It doesn't get any nicer if you're not a Pan-O player either, he has both PH and WIP 14, ARM 4, BTS -6 (that's good) and to top it off the git has 2 wounds. He's also unsurprisingly a religious trooper and has Martial Arts L3... all this for 65pts and 2 SWC? Yes please.
