After a teasing announcement this week, Corvus Belli are making further steps towards breaking Infinity into the big boys league of tabletop gaming, with what appears to be a two player starter set in the vein of Warmachine, Flames of War and Warhammer. In otherwords enough stuff to get two people playing the game, but leaving them wanting/needing more.
From this fairly vague photo it looks like some kind of playing surface (small though?); two factions comprising what looks like a three person link plus four other models; a civie of some kind; dice and templates; and of course a rulebook.
As a fan of the game this all looks very positive and an exciting step forward for the brand as it will undoubtedly reel in a lot of new players curious about the game but put off by the array of different items needed to get started.
One crucial component that this boxset doesn't seem to feature is terrain. Now considering how important.... nay vital, terrain is to the gaming experience I'd assume that it's going to feature somehow. The setting of Svalarheima could suggest a non-building themed battlefield, although how they pull that off remains to be seen.

MayaCast Episode 2 Is Up For Download
I've got to say that MayaCast is already surpassing it's previous incarnation in terms of content, and they're only on episode 2! Download it here.
I'll let you read the content list for the new episode for yourself (go here) but suffice to say the amount of stuff they've crammed into a generous 2hrs49minutes is brain-boggling! Everything from the new model releases, to the 3rd Edition announcement, to painting tips, to a Paradiso batrep! Want something awesome to listen to whilst painting? Thank me later.
One a related note, MayaCast have published a pretty comprehensive selection of images from the English version of Bostria's recent keynote on the 3rd Edition developments.
MayaCast image dump is here.
English 3rd Edition video via Beasts of War is here.
The original O-12 podcast was absolutely instrumental in getting me into Infinity, so seeing the reborn MayaCast going from strength to strength so early gives me a huge amount of pleasure to see.
Fangirling? Moi?
