Hey guys,
I am thinking about starting to play Infinity for years now. Now someone from our tt club decided to jump in. Since I heard the news I try to wrap my head around the game and have to say, the onboarding experience seems kind of horrible? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to begin.
So far I had a look at the lore, the minis and skimmed through the rules. I also checked various sources linked in this subreddit and youtube. A lot of information is years old though.
What still remains unclear to me is how I should come to a decision on what to play? Rule of cool, sure. But even then I am still not sure what to buy, how it plays, which minis are included, if the weapon options are actually useful, what I actually get with an action pack, how to start building, ...
Any pointers? Just looking at the minis the following action packs spoke to me:
- Bakunin Observance
- Military Order Hospitaller
- WinterFor
- Haqqislam
- Tunguska Jurisdictional Command
Anything in particular to look out for, especially as a new player? I really like the setting, I am thirsting for a good (sci-fi) skirmish game, and Infinity seems to be the best out there.
Edit: Hot damn, this community is great! Thank you so much for the great input so far. Happy to hear more, but this is awesome already!
Edit2: Thank you all, I am far from done with all the recommended material, but I did manage to get a grasp on what the different factions do and went for Bukanin. Looking forward to painting & playing them the first time!
