Is It Hard To Start Infinity The Game? Here’s What to Expect, From A New Player 

I've been looking in to it. I'd be the one starting it up at my local store if I do and I've not been sure I want to commit to that much responsibility heh. thank you for the video!

That's not easy! TTS for now, I guess! But who knows! Maybe in a year or two you'll still have the itch, and it might be time!

Best game i've ever played with the most awesome community over here :)

Ive been a player since 2018 i think. I really enjoy the game and the community is absolutely the best. I started off with the faction that had the highest learning curve (JSA) and moved over to Ikari Co. Gonna try vanilla builds since all i know is sectorials. And yes, i can imagine a game without the ARO system. Keeps the game interesting and flowing.

Getting into it over the last few months, have tons of Yu Jing to paint

That’s the toughest thing, and that’s why I make videos 😂. There are all these great games, but they need more visibility! They need more culture building!

Thanks! It’s been tough getting in the games during the pandemic. Hope to get some more in soon.

Alternating activations is a good way, too. Also, I’d recommend just giving Star Wars Legion a try. It’s cool because there’s also randomness in what’s allowed to activate.

More to come, my friend. WIP. It’s an awesome game needs more visibility.

I really enjoy the ITS system. I like how it combines the lore and the game in cool ways. I like the heaters and turrets, and I like how they use it as an excuse to just toss in limited models!

It looks cool, too!

Thanks Joel! I’m all about growth mindset, or 400 subs after 5 months would be crippling 😂

It seems I have joined an exclusive club 😂

Thanks Joe! It’s just expectation setting. Wasn’t meant as a tutorial or walkthru, though I know people want it.

Thanks Chaosdada!

Awesome! Then you’ll enjoy the video we’re releasing in 2 weeks! It’s about Haqq!

Thanks Tom! I have a pretty hefty Infinity video coming up, actually. I would like for my channel to be primarily Infinity and Malifaux. These games are really awesome, and they need more visibility and higher quality content. The communities are also super great, and so making content is really for us. Let me know if you have any content ideas for sure!

Hey it's Diomedes! Didn't expect to see you here of all places!

Yeah, I think the slog of collecting such a huge homogenous army isn't for me, either. I like collecting different factions, and skirmish games makes that more reasonable. Plus you can paint fewer models to a higher standard, and it's easier to have like a full playset for if a friend is ever interested!

Yeah even playing one, there’s more than enough depth. But, I’m an artist you know. “Do it once, you’re an artist. Do it twice, you’re an engineer. Do it three times, you’re a technician.”

That’s so awesome, thanks Frank! My local area is pretty experienced. So far I’ve tied a game 😂. But I suspect, when I go to another store in a month, I may be pretty deece 👌

Omg, yeah, the assembly can be such a pain. The Marut made me CRY. The pinning and muscling warped parts into place is not the business. Any argument for metal miniatures has to boil down to only the joy of the weight and nostalgia. Also not too keen on metal model paint adherence.

Thanks David! I’m working on scripting all the time. Appreciate the feedback. It’s the only way I can get better fast

Sounds like you found something special that works great for you guys! Yeah, i can relate to your daughter in that I didn’t really feel like I could relate to 40K or any GW game-I’m a POC, and I’ve never identified as a warrior like traditional western masculinity prescribes. So Malifaux and Infinity have been great for me, as I’ve been able to play a lot of different characters. Also, super awesome that you and your daughter can share the hobby. So happy for you guys.

Which factions have the best/most women in them? Which would you recommend?

@@JoeHero40k I’d say that all the human factions have the same amount of female figures. Usually it is one female per two or three male figures.

I’ve been playing OSS, but since I’ve been collecting SP, too, I’d like to play them

They need more visibility!

I love Malifaux and just played my first two games of Infinity

That’s so awesome to hear your experience. Thank you so much for sharing it. The international-ness of Infinity is super super cool. We have more fun Infinity content coming up, so stay tuned!

@@CornerCase I will. Sadly here in LATAM we don't have much of a wargaming culture so it's hard to get play mates outside the biggest cities, but because of it I think the accessibility of Infinity makes it the best one to get people into wargaming here

Oooo! I wish you luck, my friend. Building up the community is the hardest part, but I think things like RU-vid are definitely helping. In a weird way, I think if this pandemic ever ends, wargames can be more popular than they ever have been--in all places.

Yoohoo!

Awwww. I’m sorry Indra! I think Discourse said it best like people who refuse to play anything but 40K are like people who say they watch movies but they only watch Boss Baby 😂

@@CornerCase yeah agreed just a shame best i got for now is star grave

👌

Haha, yeah thanks HQ! It’s kindof a shame cus the service is really appreciated. Just needs a little love

Oof. Yeah tbh I don’t know a better way than doing demos with friends, making mistakes first and googling after

@@CornerCase Yeah I know ha thanks bud so hard for me since I do night work 50 hours a week ha might try my local gaming store one opened up near me recently its a quick 20 min walk from my house near where I do my food shopping (before hand Id have to go get on a bus for 40 mins then a 15 min walk after, so much better now I can just go out of my way check it out without it affecting my day, same for getting paints, files and other stuff)

That’s super nice, man! If I had a LGS 20min walking, I could be there during any downtime! I used to live 7min driving from my LGS, and before I was married I was there like 3x a week 😂. Keep it up, tho! If it makes you happy, don’t let it go!

Yeah, and since units can take different weapons, too, i feel like I have no chance 😂.

Skirmish game. It has an RPG that I haven’t tried. It’s not as strictly cyberpunk as Shadowrun. I think Shadowrun is kind of like the archetypical cyberpunk genre. I think Infinity has a lot of the same components-corps, hacking, neon Tokyo, clones. What sets Infinity apart from what I’d consider trad cyberpunk is it’s focus on “international” conflict and a fight against aliens. I don’t consider aliens as primary trope of trad cyberpunk. Obviously if you play with your friends, you can use whatever minis you want. Generally the infinity community is very pro-proxy’ing, though as tournaments I believe your proxies should still be Corvus Belli models. Actually the core rules, there are 2 versions of the game- Code One and N4. Code One is the “streamlined version.” N4 is “full rules.” My POV is just learn the full rules slowly, and buy the models you think look sick. Hope that was helpful!!

@@CornerCase very helpful, thanks

👌

Great question! Thanks so much The Hybred. You know, a year later, I feel like I understand how to play the game smoothly. I feel like I can teach someone else. I don’t think I’m an expert by any means, but I think I can give oppo a good game. I feel like I could pilot any army in the game, which isn’t to say I’d be proficient, but I could. I’m fully immersed

I’ll try it. I am not super into low-fantasy, and I never watched the show or anything, so this was probably my only hook in 😂

t h a n k y o u

Interesting. I’m sorry to hear about that. I don’t have a lot of cheaters in my area. I would imagine that a small player group would be more sensitive to that sort of thing

@@CornerCase Yeah, ours became small pretty quick...

Dang, I’m sorry 😢. That hella blows

That’s what I’m saying! The app needs that!

@@CornerCase 🤣 what about Instagram?😅

O you mean MY models? 😅 they aren’t that good! I’m scared to share them on IG. Less forgiving than a video

@@CornerCase the paint job scheme looks great... Don't sell yourself short... 😉

Aww haha thank you thank you. Yeah, I’m proud of my work, but the Instagram painters are wild good nowadays 😂

I have been actually playing OSS, but I have collected and have been painting SP. I will play them soon 🙂

😉

Metal models feel better to play with.
