My top 10

I thought I would post about something a little different before I go on with Aleph: part 2 and that would be my top 10 infinity figures. Corvus Belli make some fantastic miniatures and are all winners in my book but some just really stand out at me. These are in no particular order.

Knights of Santiago


Something about knights in space... What can I say its a recurring thing that always gets me. I really like the details on this mini like the cross visor, the strap going across his chest, his robe. Also the pose just looks like his barreling down the corridor of the ship and rounding a corner looking for something to kill.




Ghulam Infantry


The first LI in my top 10 the Ghulam infantry. I like the ones from the Haqqislam starter set because each on brings there own personalty to the table. There all posed nicely with one in "sassy" pose while another is in "time to die by the knife" pose. The details on these guys is also great with the one going for a snake eater look while another has some pretty boy action going on and there combat suits are nice as well from the pouches to the boots.


Hellcats


There Nomad scum but they are some kick ass models. I like how they seem to just of "landed" on the battlefield type of poses on all of them. The details on the hellcats sticks out on them from the creepy helmets to the hoses running along there shoulders and the weird type of padding they seem to be wearing as well. Also that ADHL is all kinds of cool.



5th Minutemen


While the pose may be a little weird its all about the detail for me here. I really like the bullet sleeves on her shoulder guard as well as the neck guard to help guard against any rounds reflecting of the front chest piece upwards. The chest guard neat as well as what it seems to be a tessuem front piece but has padding (Kevlar?) surrounding the sides. Plus she's showing some skin which is always nice and you get to admire that panzerfuast she seems to having trouble holding up.


Myrmidons
Greeks! What more can I say about them. They all have fantastic poses all with there own thing going on. I really like the cybernetic optic looking muscles they have plus they got some guns on them as well, no pun intended. The swords are also very nice looking and seem to try to go for historic look but with a sci-fi twist to them. It seems these guys are ready to tear it it up!



                                                                        
Yaogats


The Yaogats are some of my favorite CA models. One they have those awesome looking helmets and all the cool gear there carrying around from panzerfausts, combi's, a spitefire, multi sniper rifle, and boarding shotgun. They bring a thugish feel to them when I look at them with the unemotional faces and the poses as well. They are after all designated thugs by 0-12.


Shang Jí Invincibles


The HI is the one of the top things for me in this game and the Shang Jí is no exception. The model just looks like he can rip you head off and chuck it the length of a football field. What I like the most if the tiny armor details from the over lapping plates on his head to the synthetic wires covering up his joints. That gun: Under slung light flamethrower are awesome is real life but in Infinity they are just as cool and as deadly.



Senor Massacre


“Stand there on the floor and blood, pendejo. You are no more than a mere punching bag to me. I am Señor Massacre and this fight ends right now” Hey it's Deadpo... I mean Senor Massacre. This guy is what you think of when you say commando, double CC weapons, awesome looking armor, ammo pouches and straps (lots), and that killer look and Senor Massacre has them all.

Marut


4 arms, multi-HMG, a big ass sword! That's the Marut for ya. Aleph's only TAG (if you don't count Achilles) and she's a monster on the table but also nice to look at as well. I like the look of the four arms as it gives her a interesting feel compared to the other TAGs in the game. Also the interesting gun she is holding with all those curvy and straight lines and I'm just talking about the gun here...


Moblots


That machine gunner looks like he's gonna' F U up! These Moblots are all awesome from the panzerfaust one to the simple rifle one. I like all the small details on them from the scarf thing covering there mouths to those spiffy glasses. Other things like bullet round sleeves on the rifle men's arm and the padding and armor on all of them. Plus these guys/gal are French but I guess some of you could care less and admire how bad ass they all look

  1. That's a light flamethrower under that combi rifle on the Shang Ji, not a LGL.

    I go back and forth between the Shangi Ji and the Wu Ming as my favorite model. The Wu Ming was hands down my favorite until the Shang Ji came along (Hellcat w/combi (modified to boarding shotgun) being my 2nd). The Wu Ming still has a sleeker profile overall, so I think he still wins, but that Shang Ji is undeniably sexy.

    The Oniwaban is hot too.

    Knight of Santiago was a model I pickd up just because it was so sweet. I have no plans to play Pan-O, and the only other Pan-O model I have is the Knight Hospitaler. The knights really are great models, aren't they?
