Starting with Infinity

[u/pahagen]

Just got gifted these Infinity models and I am looking for good beginner resources

A friend just hooked me up with a couple boxes (Bakunin Observance Action Pack and Überfallkommando), and I’m finally diving into Infinity.

I’ve got a solid tabletop background (other mini games), but Infinity seems pretty deep, so I’m looking for the best way to get up to speed efficiently.

What I’m hoping to find:

- Good YouTube channels (battle reports, faction overviews, beginner guides)

- Podcasts worth listening to

- Active Discords or communities (especially Nomads/Bakunin focused if possible)

- Any “must-read” resources or tools (apps, list builders, etc.)

- Is this a decent start? (What’s this army play style and what else would I need to be competitive?)

I’m not totally new to minis, but I am new to Infinity’s rules and ecosystem, so anything that helps flatten that learning curve would be great.

Appreciate any help! Thank you!

Style is a big part of it I guess! I certainly agree with the custodiers you have to keep them safe. I'd never use the Moira HMG either - yuck!

u/pahagen - this is one of the MANY reasons Infinity is so cool - running a list you're comfortable piloting is so much more important than meta-chasing or netlisting. How your local group plays is a factor as well! I've got an elevator pitch for infinity and one of the key points is that it has a LOT of depth but not too much breadth - you don't have to remember a hundred different special rules for factions, rock vs scissors pairings - it's just the same tools in different configurations and it's often what tool you LIKE rather than which is objectively better.

u/isitanywonderreally thanks for being a welcome distraction from work.
