I'm thankful for this video existing. With the way GW is going, I'm looking elsewhere and Infinity is one of them. Community may be tiny compared to GW's, but I'm willing to pick up starter box and play some demo games at my local game store and get something going.
If there's no starter pack with factions I'm interested, or could entice a 40k player to try, how feasible would it be to make my own box set with Code: One rules in mind? I'm thinking Tunguska Jurisdictional Command + something PanO + some scenery.
Pan O came in Kaldstrøm and probably has its own action pack by now. To be honest you could get started with almost any faction. You won’t have profiles for anything outside the core 6 for now but you could play as one of those factions with whatever models you like until you’re familiar with the game and can play N4 profiles.
Take the jump. I have never looked back - games are fast paced, as a player you are always engaged in the narrative, it's way cheaper and the models actually look good. The rules are complex, though, so find someone friendly to flatten out the learning curve. I love that anything can take out anything else - clutch wins happen often.
To echo many of the comments so far, this is a great video for those starting out. I think your focus on people coming into the game is a great service to them and the community at large. Keep it up!
Got the crimson stone starter set, and am loving the process of learning it with my wife. The speed of play is fantastic and we can already bash out a game in less than an hour. Looking forward to diving deeper into it!
Thanks for all the excellent Infinity content. I am just getting started. I plan to build cheap terrain using Dollar Tree empty gift boxes ($1.25 per box). I expect a full 2x3 foot (15 points) game of terrain for about $20, with some crafting effort to improve the basic look. I have pre-painted Star Wars miniatures and D&D dice.
I`ve seen Corvus Belli minis in my LGS, and now with GW activelly sabotaging themselves, am actually looking into alternatives. Thanks for the video! :)
Discovered the video as I’m thinking of starting infinity. Always done GW for a long time but as I’ve joined a new club I’m discovering new games out there as I’m doing KOW & thinking of doing conquest also. However there’s others & I like the idea of a few skirmish games with lower model counts so I’m looking at games like moonstone, marvel crisis & infinity also which really caught my eye. Very useful content to help me make the decision on doing infinity thinking of starting with operation Grimson Stone to get me started.
This is a super helpful video, I have the code one box and it’s a great way to get into the universe. I want to move on to N4 but will have to wait until the pandemic is over
@@the_infinitygamer I’ve only actually played 40k, but I’ve looked into several other games for their lore and whatnot (as you can maybe see from my WHF/AoS screen name). I’ve recently gotten into Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings but I’ve always been more into sci-fi and so here I am haha
Fantastic video! Wish I had something like this when I first started out. The little kit of acrylic tokens in your vid, who is it that publishes that one? Looks super handy!
That’s the Battle Kiwi Code One wallet. Absolutely love mine and can’t play a game without it. You can add an extra tray to it and it becomes N4 compatible.
Great vid to point starting players to! Suggestion - one of the things that tripped me up initially were the dice rolls and successes. If you could fit it in, a short vid may make it clearer for new players.
This is a brilliant video. I've had my eye on infinity for a while and out of the blue, my gaming bubby messaged me saying he wanted to start playing. Now we are looking at armies.... Thinking Araiadna, thoughts?
Every year around this time I search for older Infinity sets...you can get pretty decent deals sometimes even half the the RRP...well that got me now 7 factions with roughly 20 models each and an avarage mini cost of 4$...last year I got JSA Armypack for 40$ and Coldfront 45$ beyond red veil 17$...the year befor that icestorm for 55$ and beyond 20$... If you need not every model direct after release you can get pretty good deals if you invest a little energy in searching for them ;)
@@the_infinitygamer I think it's a great game, very accessible. Which is probably why I'm drawn to both 'faux and infinity (that and the amazing scuplts) just a shame that nobody near me (relatively) plays 🤣🤣🤣
OK, been thinking about this and looking around but cant find a beginners list building guide based around C1 anywhere. Looking for things like how you should balance your team for different scenarios/play style Key things you need to include - Offence, Defence, ARO etc Medics, who should be Lt, Weapons Pros & Cons etc I know its a large ask but as a player new to C1/Infinity (but not new to Wargaming) there is little out there for either C1 or N4 given this is now a year old and we have a new starter set coming out.
Ive got the old Operation Icestorm starter pack and the N3 rulebook which I havent read yet. How relevant are the models from that set and should I learn the N3 rules? Are they hugely different form N4?
The N3 rules are more complicated than N4 and a few things have been removed or heavily changed. I’d recommend reading the Code One rules first then go to N4. As for Icestorm you can check the army builder to be sure (it’s free) but most look to still be valid. Even if they’re not you can use the model and proxy it for something else. So long as the S value is the same infinity is very proxy friendly.
I came across this game last night on the internet and I seriously need more info. I'm willing to get into it and I may even consider starting a scene in the future. This game is such a hidden gem! Armies I like are HaqqIslam & Combined. What's the FB group called?
So glad you found it and i was exactly the same when I discovered Infinity! WGC Infinity is the global group to jump on, it's a great resource for finding players and more info.
@@the_infinitygamer why not both? I just know I struggled building my first one from the core sets as wasn't sure how to interact and what the point of each of the units was, most of what's out there info wise is well above newbie and often slips into jargon
That’s true actually I struggled with my first few lists. Learning synergy and defensive layers is a key part of completing missions but easily missed when learning
Hi on the corvus belli website it looked like operation wildfire is infinity and not infinity code one. Would I be better off getting the code on starter set which seems to be kaldstrom?
You're right, Code One hadn't been launched when Wildfire was released but everything in Wildfire is Code One compatible. So if you buy either you're setting yourself up for Code One goodness :D
Piked up the N4 rulebook on release day and still haven't played a game, still not 100% on which army to play. As for terrain I highly recommend TT combat.
Need to get you into a demo game at least! Have you reached out on Facebook to see if anyone pics can give you a demo? WGC Infinity is a good page but your country should have its own too.
If you’re in Europe then Corvus Belli’s website might be a good place to look. Otherwise I recommend jumping on the Ibfinity Discord channel or Infinity Global Community (IGC) on Facebook and asking - a local will make good recommendations.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but one thing nobody mentions is that before you can even think about starting to play, you have to assemble and paint the miniatures. I was looking for beginner wargames that play relatively quickly to play with my wife, Infinity came up with Code One and their starter sets, so I went ahead and ordered Crimson Stone and this came as an extremely unpleasant surprise.
Most tabletop Wargames require models to be assembled and painted by their new owner. For many it’s most of what they enjoy about the hobby! You could get them assembled and painted by a commission painter if you really don’t want to do it yourself.
@@the_infinitygamer I understand there's a huge legacy behind miniature gaming, but for someone who is just picking up their first game this isn't immediately obvious at all since the advertised miniatures are always finished. That's where my frustration is coming from. The minis here are also a lot smaller than I expected, I'll have to figure out how we can start playing this quickly. I'll keep an open mind, thanks.
That’s actually a very good point, having them painted on the box is kind of misleading. I think the back of games workshop boxes show the models on sprue to show how they come in the box.
It’s also a self-realising issues. People don’t get into the game because there’s no-one to play against, which means fewer people get into the game, because there’s…no-one to play against…because people aren’t getting into the game…
@@the_infinitygamer Yes, those. I forgot the name. Are they pretty much like chapters/craft worlds/forge worlds/etc? I guess the confusing part to me, is how to tell what models belong to which sectorial.
Haha yes! The faction Pan O has a horrible link team with a Kamau sniper. O12 has the Epsilon, which is epic and a few others have good snipers. Get one with MSV2 and another unit with smoke to tear things up.
Ouch, that map is fairly sparse for Canada o_O Nobody in Saksatchewan for example o_O Every time I see those Nomads, man they look good. But I already have too many factions to paint!! OOOOOooooh, that laser line sounds really REALLY tempting...
@@the_infinitygamer *Googles* Huh, didn't realize they only had 1.1 million in the entire province... As for Nomads, if I ever actually sit down and give enough work to my Haqq, Yu Jing, as well as hubby's Ariadna and PanO... I suspect Nomads will be next. So many things there are just so enticing..
@@the_infinitygamer True enough. I suspect the reaction you guys have is kind of similar to us when someone tells us there are cities with multiples of millions of people living in them. I know my first reaction to Dallas Texas (in the US) was "wait, HOW big is this city?!?!?!"
I know. When some countries have a single city with the population of our country it is weird. Grew up new London and never appreciated how many people lived there!
Have played infinity 3 times now and the game still irks me. The rules are poorly written (my friends and I are constantly having to re-read the rules and interpret intention - likely because they're translated), the army list builder is AWFUL, and there's a few jarring rules like armour saves which aren't consistent with the rest of the game's design. Add to this that it is extremely hard to figure out what to buy and for whom... even with Code One it's not a great experience for new players. My friends and I have played TONS of different wargames, I have at least 30 in my collection and infinity is one of the hardest games we've found to pick up and play. It's a real shame because the models are awesome the lore is excellent. Compare this with their other products like Aristeia! or the upcoming Warcrow (which looks awesome), Infinity is way, way more complex and much harder to learn how to play.
Have you played N4? They streamlined the gameplay massively and it sounds like N5 (coming out in October) will rewrite the armour saves to be in line with other rolls.
So many videos made ostensibly for Infinity beginners go off on tangential discussions about what you ought to do or will do to get into the game (N4, terrain, accessories, etc.), what N4 is and requires, how inadequate any starter boxes or Code One are. Even if that's not their aim, it really does put off potential players because there's a long discussion about what this game is supposed to be but there's no emphasis or focus on the actual gameplay, the mechanics. Here's what you do on the tabletop. Your video is 16:29 minutes of circular talk, lacking focus of what a newbie needs to know. Must be a characteristic of the meta.
Very possibly, I’m also quite a waffle person at times too. I certainly don’t think code one is bad, in fact it’s by far the best way to get into the game. Same with the code one boxes. I don’t think any other game has two players starter sets that are as good as these. I’ve covered gameplay and mechanics in other videos but do you think combining the kit you need to get started and a discussion on core mechanics would be beneficial to new players?
Check out my crimson stone tutorials. I try and focus on the game mechanics without any divergence. Although I am using crimson stone missions, I add a few extra simple rules that are useful to know if N4. Basically, I use crimson stone to explain N4. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for letting me know. I have noticed a heap more appearing even in the videos I watch. Is it the ones at the beginning or during that are most annoying?
@@the_infinitygamer I don't mind ads at the beginning or end, you are putting a lot of work into this and I want to support the channel. Ads in the middle can work if it's a single block in the middle but (and maybe my fault for not paying attention here) I think this had blocks at the beginning and end and then a couple in the middle just after the start and just before the end. If ads at the start are not enough, my personal preference would be one block around the middle, ideally (and I don't know how easy or hard this is) at some point where it makes sense, so not mid-segment and definitely not mid-sentence. Just my 2c, keep up the good work and sorry if I came off abrupt.
Not at all! It’s a balancing act trying to work out what’s acceptable for viewers so they watch future videos without worrying that they’ll be bombarded. Also a balance to try and earn enough to keep justifying the time. Thanks so much for the feedback 😀
Great video, as usual from my favorite content creator on Infinity... Even if I'm not the target of this video, because this year I have collected two full tables, 5 sectorials force [O-12 as main, after many of your showcase vids] and a full-range of accessories 😅
😂😂😂 definitely not a newcomer but you’re a great example of how to do the hobby properly! I really appreciate your kind words Rob, just the positivity I need!

OK, been thinking about this and looking around but cant find a beginners list building guide based around C1 anywhere.
Looking for things like how you should balance your team for different scenarios/play style
Key things you need to include - Offence, Defence, ARO etc
Medics, who should be Lt, Weapons Pros & Cons etc
I know its a large ask but as a player new to C1/Infinity (but not new to Wargaming) there is little out there for either C1 or N4 given this is now a year old and we have a new starter set coming out.

Pretty active. Look for Infinity Global Community (IGC) on Facebook for groups or use the Warcor map.
I would Love to play this game,but in my country the minis are like,100000 reais
You could buy a Rolex for that sort of money 😂
cool
Have played infinity 3 times now and the game still irks me. The rules are poorly written (my friends and I are constantly having to re-read the rules and interpret intention - likely because they're translated), the army list builder is AWFUL, and there's a few jarring rules like armour saves which aren't consistent with the rest of the game's design. Add to this that it is extremely hard to figure out what to buy and for whom... even with Code One it's not a great experience for new players.
My friends and I have played TONS of different wargames, I have at least 30 in my collection and infinity is one of the hardest games we've found to pick up and play.
It's a real shame because the models are awesome the lore is excellent.
Compare this with their other products like Aristeia! or the upcoming Warcrow (which looks awesome), Infinity is way, way more complex and much harder to learn how to play.
Have you played N4? They streamlined the gameplay massively and it sounds like N5 (coming out in October) will rewrite the armour saves to be in line with other rolls.
@@the_infinitygamer that would be great to see if possible. I’ve been playing code one.
Whats the name of those cute lil Monster at 11:06 ?
The usual monster invading videos is CJ the cat 😂
So many videos made ostensibly for Infinity beginners go off on tangential discussions about what you ought to do or will do to get into the game (N4, terrain, accessories, etc.), what N4 is and requires, how inadequate any starter boxes or Code One are. Even if that's not their aim, it really does put off potential players because there's a long discussion about what this game is supposed to be but there's no emphasis or focus on the actual gameplay, the mechanics. Here's what you do on the tabletop. Your video is 16:29 minutes of circular talk, lacking focus of what a newbie needs to know. Must be a characteristic of the meta.
Very possibly, I’m also quite a waffle person at times too. I certainly don’t think code one is bad, in fact it’s by far the best way to get into the game. Same with the code one boxes. I don’t think any other game has two players starter sets that are as good as these.
I’ve covered gameplay and mechanics in other videos but do you think combining the kit you need to get started and a discussion on core mechanics would be beneficial to new players?
Check out my crimson stone tutorials.
I try and focus on the game mechanics without any divergence.
Although I am using crimson stone missions, I add a few extra simple rules that are useful to know if N4. Basically, I use crimson stone to explain N4.
Let me know what you think.
Welp, I guess it's time to redo this video :)
Hahaha you’re very right
Are you Kiwi?!
I’m British but live in New Zealand 😃
There is an Arabic army yet no one in the Middle East plays the game?
I think there might be some Middle Eastern gaming groups. IGC Facebook group will know!
The price of anything collectible is prohibitive for countries outside of G7
We try and manage here in NZ!
Anyone else jumping ship from 40K?
You are one of a few comments across my videos saying the same 😃
Interesting! Anyway, this is a great intro!
@@Bifstak yes. Years ago when infinity was N2. Early 2000s. Was a good jump.
Step 1: find a table
Or don’t if TTS is your thing 😜
Good video but quite heavy on the ads...
Thanks for letting me know. I have noticed a heap more appearing even in the videos I watch. Is it the ones at the beginning or during that are most annoying?
@@the_infinitygamer I don't mind ads at the beginning or end, you are putting a lot of work into this and I want to support the channel. Ads in the middle can work if it's a single block in the middle but (and maybe my fault for not paying attention here) I think this had blocks at the beginning and end and then a couple in the middle just after the start and just before the end. If ads at the start are not enough, my personal preference would be one block around the middle, ideally (and I don't know how easy or hard this is) at some point where it makes sense, so not mid-segment and definitely not mid-sentence. Just my 2c, keep up the good work and sorry if I came off abrupt.
Not at all! It’s a balancing act trying to work out what’s acceptable for viewers so they watch future videos without worrying that they’ll be bombarded. Also a balance to try and earn enough to keep justifying the time. Thanks so much for the feedback 😀
Great video, as usual from my favorite content creator on Infinity... Even if I'm not the target of this video, because this year I have collected two full tables, 5 sectorials force [O-12 as main, after many of your showcase vids] and a full-range of accessories 😅
😂😂😂 definitely not a newcomer but you’re a great example of how to do the hobby properly! I really appreciate your kind words Rob, just the positivity I need!
Merci !
THANK YOU!! I really appreciate this 🥰
Infinity is more expensive to play than warhammer
Because the models are more attractive so you buy more of them?
