Infinity - 300pt Aleph


So this past weekend has gotten me working on some Infinity figures. I'm currently building up my Aleph. The Aleph are basically Skynet - AI controlled super humans that are out to save mankind (or possibly destroy it, depending on whose point of view you have). Infinity is true skirmish - each figure is their own, and has literally dozens of actions you can take on both your turn and your opponents.

Being super-elite, the Aleph are pretty low in model count. Here is a 300 pt army in eight figures. For reference, I'd put 300 pts of
Infinity at the same level as 2500 for 40k, 1750 for Flames of War, 6 pts for Saga, etc. The "book" paint scheme is the standard white and muted tones you'd expect from a post-human race. I decided to go with a more sinister color scheme. 

The first figures from this army were actually commissioned out to a local friend at 13th Hour Miniatures. I did end up changing the color scheme and a few parts on the models to better match what I can do for all of the new additions.

Below the pics you'll find my current 300pt list. As I get a few more models in, it will change pretty drastically. I'm going to drop all the standard Myrmidons, add a Doctor/Engineer, some repair bots, a guided missile launcher, and some cheap order drones.

The current list gets to abuse smoke grenades with the Myrmidons throwing smoke, and the Asura being able to see out of it with her Multispectral Visor (but bad guys can't see her back!) The Asura is a top of the line hacker, able to steal peoples remotes, redirect their guided missiles, hack out airborne drops, etc. Achilles is just a close range monster with the Spitfire, and if necessary, close combat.

Disclaimer: Still can't get my camera to focus well....

This is the new SpecOps figure. I am going to use it as a proxy for my Asura.
