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-
