Infinity Factions and History

In my last article on Infinity, I wrote of the overall basic gameplay. Here i'll talk about the different factions and history of the universe of Infinity.

PanOceania: The number one power in the Human Sphere and also has the greatest technology. Based on the Western Powers. Good ranged skills and their armour looks like hi-tech crusaders.

Yu-Jing: The other great power and eternal rival to PanOceania. Based on the far East. They've just released Shaolin Monks...with gun...in awesome poses. Here are their others.

Haqqislam: A smaller power based on the religion of Islam without the fundamentalism. Promotes humanism, medicine and planetology. Also the inventors of the substance that allows transfer of human consciousnesses. I like their elegant looks.

Ariadna: Decendants of a lost colony ship that consisted of Scots, Cossacks, Americans and Frenchmen. Not the most advanced technology but tough. Great looking models and they have alien-made werewolves! Awesome!

Nomad: Made up of people who don not wish a life controlled by large social-economic powers or the human AI, Alph. Travel in three superlarge ships. Very anime style and specialize in subterfuge.

Alph: The AI controller of the vast technological systems interlinking most of humanity. Extremely anime style and expensive point models, but they are good for those points spent.

Mercenaries: Corperate warriors. Hires themselves out to other human powers but can be a faction in thier own right. Variable looks.

Combined Army: An alien AI that has gathered other races it deems important in achieving its mission, transcendence by observing other races transcendence. Humanity will be the latest experiment, in order to observe their reaction to an outside threat in this mission. Variable looks as they are an amalgam of alien races.

I chose Haqqislam and Combined Army; mostly because of the look of the models and the background.

For the history of the universe of Infinity, i suggest going here. They have it displayed better than i could and their InfinityWiki is good. The Infinity website also has sample 300 point forces that are based off of the starter boxes, seen here.

Next are my Combined Army starter pack models.
