Infinity: Gwailos get reinforcements.


Prodigal here.  

It was timely that Natfka posted up about this month's Infinity models, as I had recently gone back to my Shasvastii Sectorial force having neglected them for nearly half a year. Hey, sometimes you just need to take a break. But man my timing couldn't have been better because the models I was brushing up on were a trio of Gwailos, and hey--look at that--there's a new Gwailos with a heavy rocket launcher that was just released.


Anyone familiar with Infinity knows that Shasvastii are the straight-up trolling faction in Infinity. 

I ate your lieutenant.  
 They are all about dirty tricks, camo, and generally avoiding direct conflict. Gwailos are a bit of an oddity for Shasvastii, because they are stone cold in-your-face commandos, or at least as close as you get to that with Shasvastii. They can be used as a link-team, meaning that they get to be activated as a team which can make your force work much more efficiently. Gwailos also have this awesome holo shield that you can actually represent physically in the game. A lot of Combined Army players tend to scratch their heads about Gwailos because they don't fit in with the whole "dirty tricks" M.O. of the faction, but I've started to see more aggressive Shasvastii lists circulating around Gwailos hitting the Infinity forums lately, so with the release of this new HRL model, they'll be getting some new support.

How many of you have considered picking up a few Infinity models in the past? I mean, look at these new releases. Look. At. Them.


Just insane.
