Infinity N5 is Corvus Belli's high-octane sci-fi skirmish game, fought with small crews of stunningly detailed 28mm models. Unlike rank-and-file wargames, Infinity keeps both players involved on every turn through its famous Reactive system — when your opponent moves, you get to react. Here's how to get started.
What makes Infinity different
You only need around 10-15 models for a full force, so the buy-in is small and the painting is manageable. The game rewards clever maneuvering, hacking, camouflage, and combined-arms tactics over brute force. No model is ever truly safe, and no turn is ever boring.
Pick a faction
Each faction has a distinct flavour. PanOceania brings high-tech firepower and elite heavy infantry. Yu Jing fields disciplined warriors and powerful TAGs. Nomads excel at hacking and close-quarters mayhem, Haqqislam rewards skirmishing and resilience, and Ariadna relies on grit, camouflage, and sheer numbers. Browse the full range in our Infinity collection.
Start with Operation Sandtrap or an Army Pack
The Operation Sandtrap two-player battle pack is the ideal entry point — two starter forces, dice, terrain, and a learn-to-play booklet in one box. Prefer to commit to a single faction? An Essentials Army Pack gives you a ready-made core force at a great price.
The rules are free
Infinity's complete rules and unit profiles are available free through Corvus Belli's online Army builder and wiki, so you can learn and list-build before spending a penny on a rulebook.
Watch, then play
Seeing a turn in action makes the Reactive system click instantly. Head to The Screening Room for learn-to-play videos and battle reports, then grab a starter and some paint & hobby supplies to bring your crew to life.
