I think it should<br />

be might really<br />

not be worth of a<br />

discussion. I'd<br />

like to see some<br />

fantasy football<br />

models that are<br />

not carrying the<br />

football. We need<br />

guys to do the<br />

smashing and hitting<br />

too.<br />

at least that's how I remember it. Also, the guns on both models<br />

are the same size which is a nice bit of proper continuity between<br />

the models. There was also some cleaning needed on the<br />

big guy, but not as much as on the smaller one. The arms fit<br />

onto the body up at the shoulders and don't leave much<br />

poseability unless you want to break out the green stuff. I'll pass<br />

on any conversions as I think he looks fine as is. Outside of<br />

Infinity the larger model could be used as a player character in<br />

Feng-Shui or Traveller20.<br />

Name: 280113-0058 Ariadna Para-Commando<br />

MSRP: 7.00€<br />

Reviews by Mark Theurer<br />

Name: 280112-0054 Dog Warrior & Dogface<br />

MSRP: 16.00€<br />

Oh yeah, more big dogs for my Ariadna army! In this blister<br />

you get two figures, each of them coming in three pieces. The<br />

set represents the two physical phases of one soldier. The Dogface<br />

is the regular or "human" version of the model and he's<br />

carrying two chain rifles and wears a long hooded robe and a<br />

pair of oversized jeans and bare feet. There were several bits of<br />

flash and small metal burrs on the model that needed to be<br />

cleaned before he could be assembled, but the mold line was<br />

undetectable. He has a long ponytail draped over his chest and a<br />

very stern look on his face. Once assembled he sits on a standard<br />

round slotta-base. The second model is much larger and<br />

represents a transformation that the Dogface undergoes after<br />

being injured. He becomes a Dog Warrior and bulks up considerably,<br />

almost to the size of an ogre. Basically, it's a very large<br />

werewolf that's carrying two guns that would normally be<br />

suited to being carried in two hands by a normal sized model,<br />

but are definitely one-handers for the super-sized guy. Upon<br />

transformation he discards his cloak and shows off a muscled<br />

bare chest and you also get a look at a few pouches, a grenade<br />

and a knife on his belt. His jeans have now become skin tight<br />

and I like that the sculptor took this into account on both models.<br />

The jeans are too loose on one model and too tight on the<br />

other. It's not like in the Hulk comics that I read as a kid where<br />

Dr. Banner's pants would still fit just fine regardless of his size,<br />

This three-piece model depicts a paratrooper that has recently<br />

hit the ground and is getting ready to get into the fight. The<br />

main model is hunched over and is dragging his parachute and<br />

gear (the left arm and gear is a separate piece) while he carries a<br />

grenade launcher (also a separate piece) in his right hand. The<br />

model comes with two bases, a standard 25mm round base and<br />

a larger 40mm round base. The larger base has adequate room<br />

for the miniature and his parachute/gear but puts the figure on a<br />

larger base than is intended for a model his size. The smaller<br />

base can also be used but the parachute/gear will hang off the<br />

edge of the base. I’ll be mounting mine on the larger base and<br />

just have to remind myself, and my opponent’s, of how we need<br />

to consider his base size during the game. He’s not wearing a<br />

lot of armor but does carry quite a bit of gear including a<br />

breathing mask, a knife and lots of pouches. It did have more<br />

flash than a lot of other Infinity models and did need some<br />

more cleaning before it was ready to assemble, but I found no<br />

visible mold line anywhere on the model. In game terms the<br />

Para-Commandoes wear camouflage that gives their opponent's<br />

a –3 modifier to shoot them and they have a huge freedom of<br />

deployment on the board, as their name would apply. I’ll definitely<br />

be adding more of these to my Ariadna army, but I would<br />

love to see another model for this troop type that matches the<br />

female paratrooper in the rulebook.<br />

Name: 280411-0057 Hassassin Ragiks (HMG & Rifle)<br />

MSRP: 12.00€<br />

Haqqislam gets some jump-capable troops to move around the<br />

battlefield with some more ease than regular troops with the<br />

Hassassin Ragiks. Each of the two models in this blister comes<br />

with at least five parts that go into the complete model. Two of<br />

the parts are small jet turbines and wings that fit easily into<br />

grooves on their backs, but they will need to be carefully removed<br />

from the metal sprue that they are cast on. One guy<br />

cradles a heavy machinegun in two hands while the other car-
