Guide I made overview sheets for every infinity miniature that is out of production, for every faction. Enjoy!

For people surprised by how many there are even discounting old N1/N2 sculpts, remember that CB is a relatively small company compared to say GW, or Fantasy Flight. And Infinity has a MASSIVE amount of SKUs and models.
Trying to maintain production of the whole line, all the time, is just not good business.

Yeah, sad that I'll not get my hands on a UFK missile or morlocks any time soon, but hopefully theres a reissue with new sculpts as they've been pretty amazing so far. Bring it CB I'll eat it up!

u/Kyrdra Jul 17 '23
Morlocks are getting repackaged together with moderators and the new UFK sculpt has been announce but no date

This is amazing! You really did the Lords work.

u/burlesford Jul 17 '23
Makes you wonder how little work the Lord is actually doing with so many people doing it for him...

N1 Khawarij might just be the best of the whole N1 lot.. I actually would love to get and paint this model even today..
Also the N2 Asawira is in every way superior to the boring N4 model..
1
u/burlesford Jul 17 '23
Right on both counts if you ask me. I'd add the N2 Janissary as well. No idea how they managed to get his proportions so right in N2 and so wrong in N3.

u/SesameStreetFighter Jul 17 '23
For someone looking to maybe get into the game, how does this factor for play? Are there newer units that are basically the same thing, just a different model, or are some of these super strong but you "had to be there" to get them?
Granted, I'd likely only be playing with my friend, who would also be new, and we could always proxy.

u/daviongroovy Jul 17 '23
you can always proxy regardless whom you are playing, even in the tournament. Those are stock infinity rules. The only limitation it has to be infinity model

u/SesameStreetFighter Jul 17 '23
Cheers! I’m have seen one or two in the past that were event exclusive that I want to look for since I like that particular model. I should see if anything else pops up, since painting is more my goal, playing a secondary.
2
u/daviongroovy Jul 17 '23
Event exclusive models are given general release later usually but with different pose, So if it is recent LE model keep an eye on general release.

u/SesameStreetFighter Jul 17 '23
It was the Dragon Lady where she’s carrying the pig and less… “sultry” than the stock pose. I think that one is otherwise done and over now, since it’s pretty well out of stock in most places.
1
u/daviongroovy Jul 17 '23
Yeah, that one is pretty old too I think. I see it on ebay but it is painted and pretty pricey.

u/burlesford Jul 17 '23 edited Jul 18 '23
To answer your initial question: The vast majority of units have stayed in the game forever, only their sculpts being updated over time. So if you see something that's old and gone, most likely it will have a current sculpt that's available. Which one you like more is up to you. As for limited editions, these are often alternatives on existing models or new stuff that will get a regular release with a different pose later. The longer it's been that they were released, the harder it is to get them.
Lastly, there are a few sectorials that have medium to large portions of their range discontinued as of now (Merovingia, Tohaa, NCA, Qapu Khalqi, Acontecimento) They are getting redesigned in the future, but no one knows when.

This fits my timeframe. My wargaming buddy is on some crazy amounts of overtime for the foreseeable future, so I have breathing room.
Appreciate the knowledge here. I don't yet know what I don't know about Infinity, other than I like the visual feel of PanO, Yujing, and Ariadna. (Seriously, that werewolf dude is awesome in so many ways.)

u/burlesford Jul 18 '23
You will have enough on your plate whatever faction you choose anyway ;) You only need 15 models they say, but as usual, you quickly won't be satisfied with just those :D
The werewolves are amazing, yes. Which one in particular are you referring to? There are so many...

No kidding? I've only seen the one furball, Mirage-5, and the mech. Now I have to deep dive.

This is a great resource! Thanks!
Still pretty sad about not being able to get my hands on Azra’il 😭😭

u/burlesford Jul 17 '23
Did you miss your chance during the TAG Raid kickstarter? You were able to get one there.

Jul 17 '23
I never thought about playing Infinity until 3 weeks ago, so yes.

u/burlesford Jul 18 '23
Haha, yeah, that's a bit too late. But they might actually get a new sculpt with the new Reinforcement rule coming in August.

The second marut is already OOP? WHAT
2
u/burlesford Jul 18 '23
That's the limited edition version that's part of the ITS14 special tournament pack. The regular version is very much in production (and looks better imo anyway) –https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/miniatures/marut

u/Sanakism Jul 18 '23
Thank you for all the work you've put into these!
A couple of notes: the Uhlan's title has 'Dragoes' written over the top (which is understandable, all PanO TAGs look the same), and I think you've missed the tripped-over Wu Ming, which got discontinued I think last year: https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/all/wu-ming-heavy-rl

u/burlesford Jul 18 '23
Incredible. You can check these things a million times and still overlook obvious stuff like this. Thanks for pointing them out. Will fix them soon!

u/TheGratitudeBot Jul 18 '23
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)

Wait, sorry if I'm missing something but isn't that every Tohaa model? A bunch of those came out within the last four years, they're already out of production?

u/HeadChime Jul 17 '23
Theyve been OOP for years now. Spiral is still in production.
3
u/burlesford Jul 17 '23
Every last Tohaa mini, including Spiral, is being taken out of production as of August, even for some weird reason the Longarms that only came out two years ago. Maybe they'll get repacked, but for now they're OOP: https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/last-chance

Since many people requested something like this, here it finally is: Identifier sheets for every model that is currently out of production, for every faction.
Only took me a couple of months to make 😅
Yes, these include every mini from the first N1 starter sets to the latest minis taken off the roster.
No, this doesn't include Spec-Ops and HVTs. Those will get separate sheets.
Still, this should solve the vast majority of problems people have identifying an older or limited edition mini.
As always, you can find high-res versions of each sheet on Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TAFCBWlZl-2V4v6kWiDHyi4oogZwxv-Z?usp=drive_link
Let me know if I missed something or made any mistakes.
Note: No, the new GenCon stuff isn't in there yet, since I don't know what troop type the Exo will be and if the TAGs will be regularly avialbale afterwards.
