Infinity News – Dire Foes
Ian from the Wargaming Trader here again. There was lots of Infinity news from Gencon, but the stand-out for me was the new Dire Foes range of characters/scenario packs.
We’re still waiting for complete details, but so far this looks like a set of five boxes, each with it’s own theme. Each box will contain two named characters that can also be used as Spec Ops models, some form of VIP model and a scenario involving all three models plus your own armies.
We’ve seen concept sketches but no models yet, so let’s get going on those sketches…
Temporal Alliance (or ‘GoT another Missile Launcher?’)
Viral Outbreak (or, ‘All Aliens All the Time’)
Carrying on a theme of having opposed genders from the existing Spec Ops comes this female Tohaa and male Shasvastii set.
The VIP for this set looks likely to be the Hazmat, based on the set name and the tendency for Tohaa to use nasty viral tech.
Rescue in the Train (or, ‘The Rules Examples Come Alive!’)
Escape or Die (or, ‘Forum Clash!’)
Black Mist (Ariadna v. Yu Jing)
The Caledonian Sectorial of Arianda and the Japanese Sectorial of Yu Jing get their opposed gender Spec Ops models.
Remaining VIPs
Still to be IDed with a specific set are three more VIP models – an actual VIP, a Comm-Tech and a Naval Officer.
This is a re-written excerpt from my summary of the main Infinity news from Gencon.
So, which set will you buy, and why?
