    Default Why doesn't BoLs cover more Infinity?

    I'm wondering why BoLs doesnt cover more of this excellent game, yet has smaller games on it's homepage. Beasts of War covers it, Warstore sells it and Battlefoam sponsors their official podcast (0-12). BoLs is very late to a good party.

    Infinity is in my opinion the best skirmish game out there today, and is supported properly by its creators (pay attention GW). Gorgeous models, balanced system, super cheap to get into and true online support with free rules. Plus one of the best communities out there for new players.

    Hey, Levitas. Haven't I seen you on the Infinity forums?

    Honestly, it's because Infinity isn't a very popular game yet. If you post about it, though, I'll post too.

    Indeed sir! Nomad players get around from place to place

    Hopefully BoLs will do more coverage as the game grows and word gets around!

    I certainly disagree with this.
    The popularity of this range is growing, and has been growing during all these years. I mean... I saw their stand in GenCon and there was lots of people there.
    I've been following this game for a while, and I remember when only a few wargamers knew about it.

    Corvus Belli was a really small company a few years ago... a spanish company... for all these years I've been witnessing their growth.
    Infinity is working, people is enjoying this game, and the miniatures... well, every month better and better.

    They are making their own place in the wargaming industry, and thats is incredible in this 40K fanatic industry.

    Write something for the front page. There must be some submission rules somewhere, Considering someones tantrum about fluff made it the other day you should be able to manage something.
    Encourage support to find you.
    The more people that play it that come looking need something there to find to get excited about.

    However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

    Slight necro, but I did get the Reverend Custodier nominated to best metal-resin model of 2011....she almost beat that ugly tin can the Contemptor

    I'd definitely try this - I've found Larry/Big Red to be really approachable, send him an infinity article and see what he thinks.

    Well, i've dropped them an email, so hoping we see more. While i myself am not a great writer i know of a few people who could write cool articles covering the game.

    Infinity coverage will be picking up here at BoLS. We had a couple of issues we were working out and once those get sorted there will be stuff up about this game. After WarGamesCon2013, I think a lot of the BoLS crew here in Austin is going to be goofing around with Infinity. That means we'll have more terrain, painted minis, players and factions covered - which leads to Battle Reports as well -- now I just gotta figure out how we can do a fun format and keep it under ~10 minutes of footage.

    Default GenCon 2013

    Will anybody from BoLS be covering Infinity at GenCon this year? I see that home page coverage has increased, which is nice. Those and Outside the Box articles are what keep me visiting.

    Whoo-hoo, my first post after nearly 4 years of silence.
