I gotta say I appreciate the effort but you repeated yourself a lot and I kept thinking you were going to provide more info (in a 20 min video) but I felt like I learned very little by the end. I moved on to video two in the series, and it is much, much better. I'd consider re-recording this one, or at least editing it down and remixing the audio a bit. Being that it's the intro to this series, it very nearly turned me off entirely. But what you have going for you is that every other Infinity how-to video is significantly worse. 😅

I love infinity universe, though I'm avoiding as much as I can anime visualisation. It really can be done. I have collection of RPG books, armies and waiting now for Acheron's Fall boardgame. Would love narrative campaigns and connections between incoming spaceship boardgame, RPG and miniature wargame. This universe is great and has amazing potential.

My beyond box had much less of an issue with flash and mold lines than my starter box. Njord’s two handed axe needed some elbow grease to get it to line up with both hands, but I sort of expect that with great weapons in a non-PS kit.

Как по мне Корвуса по всем направлениям скатываются. Многие миниатюры стали пластиковыми, и качество пластика зачастую плохое (хотя лимитные модели могут делать отлично). Металлические миниатюры стали плохого качества, на мастер моделях не убирают «артефакты» 3Д печати, да и само литье очень «мыльное», текстура миниатюр смотрится плохо, такое чувство, что они родом из начала 2000-х. Отличие сильно бросается в глаза, по сравнению с ранее выпущенными моделями. Теперь еще закрытие старых секториалов, Корвуса сами себе изменяют, то они старались сохранить игровой мир и людям это нравилось, сейчас наплевали на этот мир и хотят как можно больше денег…..

CB casually deciding to axe five out of my six armies is complete garbage. Years of collecting MRRF, Shock Army, NCA and Spiral... just down the drain. Absolute nonsense to decide to remove MRRF which is a visual Ariadna staple when you have USARF which is just "+3 Armor faction". Removing Spiral is also such low effort play by CB, probably the sectorial which received the least amount of attention ever since it was released. Just so so bad all around.

@@RatWithaTool this seems like a weird take. CB has to make money and letting the game stagnate and having to print old lines that just dont sell anymore is not a feasible business decision. The lines are bloated for this being a skirmish game. I have not seen that six armies are going away but some of the lines are being combined to clean up the mess they have now. Seems smart if they ever want this game to grow if you ask me. Sucks that you may have lost an army but if the amount of players triples it is a good thing.

To recap, in N5 vanilla armys are becoming like a sectorial with limited fire team options. To me at this point, with the power loss of Core fireteams. It seems like there wont be much difference between playing vanilla or a sectorial. I think the biggest choice between playing a sectorial and a generic army will be access to specific unit choices. I play vanila armys now and I think the new changes may still slightly favor vanilla. The good news for me is. These changes to fireteams wont change how I play the game.

The lessons learned from Code One and translated into “Essentials” is going to be SO good for our hobby. I think all the veterans are so focused on all the game rule changes that this change in how the game is being marketed is overlooked.
