I just picked up a bunch of Nomads for a new vanilla army, because I'm getting tired of running the same limited sectorial every week. I feel like it's pretty limited on a strategic level, so I just end up playing variations on the same game (with my lousy dice, of course!) whenever I hit the table. These new Nomads should fix my variety issue! Now, normally I have no problem assembling Infinity models. I don't pin them, because I think they're too delicate to abuse with further drilling (and besides, they don't usually need it!).

The faction now has so many choices that only the most cynical naysayer would try to argue that it is not the foremost HI faction in the game. In this article, though, I want to focus on the costly heavies; the ones that are harder to justify and harder to play because of their price tag. Not counting Sun Tze, Yu Jing has six distinct heavy infantry choices hovering around (or o...
