March Infinity Releases

We already gave you a peek of the Azra'il, but now all his friends have joined the Infinity releases - including resculpts of the Yaogat Strike Infantry, one of the fiercest Fireteams Infinity has to offer.  The releases are the much anticipated Nomad Jaguars, Haqqislam Azra'il, Morat Yaogats, PanO Akalis Spitfire (also previously spoiled) and an Authorized Bounty Hunter on a Bike.  'Cause everybody likes bikes!
The Jaguars are interesting for the Nomads due to being Regular Frenzy, meaning that they can calmly move into position before springing out in a brutal mix. Nomads don't quite have close combat options and the Jaguars change that. The inclusion of Smoke on their Chain Rifle options means that is a solid combo with the Intruder's MSV.

Akalis, Azra'il and Yaogats are effectively resculpts. The Yaogats are a strict resculpt with no changes between editions but a slight points discount. The Azra'il ate some serious Wheaties, growing in size and ARM (going from 3 to 5).  The Akalis got a change that most Air Drop troops got: the loss of a HMG in exchange for a Spitfire. The strength of an HMG is not the Damage or Burst, despite both being awesome, but the Range. CB decided it needed to go, as it was too easy for an HMG land and go on huge killing sprees due to exposed flanks. The Spitfire is an effective weapon but would lead to less swingy games.

The ABH I find to be a nice scenic base on the off chance that you happened to roll Motorcycle. Looks nice!
