I can simply not get my head around army building for infinity.
Have been looking at getting into it for a long time, recently been falling out of love with kill team. I’ve also noticed that the more infantile anime art direction has been toned down, especially in the mini designs. This was the main component that put me off several years ago, so looks promising.
Alright so I get rules, the army builder and start thinking about purchases.
Think about a very cosmonaut themed kosmoflot army, so I start with some bears, support units and infantry squads. I check what I would need to buy to achieve my planned list…. And in essence I can’t. Multiple units in various infantry squads (kosmosoldats, rokots, volkolaks) are simply not available in the infinity store or are only available as part of other packs, basically making me buy various other units I don’t want.
Alright, perhaps the problem is kosmoflot. So I pivot to a PanO military order list, heavily knight themed… and in essence same story again.
It’s beyond opaque to start from scratch with a new army. I understand various units are leftovers from previous versions of the game, but it’s maddening trying to piece together what is (A) a legal list and (B) actually available to buy.
Or am I just doing it wrong?
