Aside from the fairly "meh" repackaging of the Celestial Guard, it represents ten other models that in my opinion cement CB at the top of wargame models podium.

New Year, New Models!
The 30th of December saw the release of the photos for the next set of releases from Corvus Belli, and in my opinion a pretty sensational set of models they are too.

Tohaa Gorgos Is Gorgeous
I must admit to having thoughts of a third army in the wake of the new Tohaa Gorgos model pictures. Now that is a rather awesome piece of sculpting.
There's been a bit of moaning about the stance of it's legs, but the fact it is so friggin' tall just makes it even cooler to me. I imagine the Gorgos to be something different to the usual TAGs; a monstrous alien creature in armour purposefully striding across the battlefield, coldly picking off it's enemies one at a time! Epic.

Trinkets and Pretty Things
Another solid month by CB standards for Infinity, with the new batch of announced new models for Infinity.
The Dire Foes combat models are all really nice again, although only the Shasvastii really sings to me if I'm honest. However the two civvies are superb, with the hazard suit lady being probably the best civvie model in the range in my opinion.
Nomads get the really brilliant Intruder sculpt, and Tohaa get for me probably one of the least attractive models in their range with the Ectros HMG (weird looking legs?). As an ALEPH guy, the Machaon model is my highlight. Initially I was somewhat disappointed that he didn't have the athletic pose of many of the other male Myrmidon officer heroes. However the more I look, the more I love. The mini-Ajax school bag and the long coat are just lovely little stylistic ideas, and within the existing Phalanx model range it will make a great addition from an aesthetic point of view. Not sure about the greasy looking fringe thing Angel painted though...

Cometh The Dire Foes
After a couple months of anticipation, the Infinity Dire Foes boxsets are starting to filter out from Corvus Belli. And my oh my, what a selection of lovely little baubles they've put together for November!
The models are anything BUT Dire! See what I did there?!

Isobel McGregor: I choose you!
Corvus Belli has released a sneak peak of the new Dire Foes model for Ariadnan spec ops badass, Isobel McGregor via the Beasts of War YouTube channel. And it's a little belter in my opinion.
The only thing that (at the moment) stops this being a 10/10 model for me, is that the leg pose is rather similar to the Covert Ops Uxia model... but we're still talking a solid 9.5/10. The question is what will this proxy for in a regular list minus Dire Foes? Answers on a postcard.
