Humanity built an artificial intelligence to help it manage a civilisation spread across several star systems, and then discovered it could not get by without one. ALEPH is that intelligence, and the troops it puts on a battlefield are as considered and as unsettling as you would expect from something that designed them itself.An Essentials army pack is the one purchase route into a faction. Rather than assembling a force from separate blisters, you get a playable army in a single box, which makes it the sensible foundation for an ALEPH collection and a substantial addition to one that is already underway. Faction: ALEPH, with models that also serve its sectorials. Role: starts a force, in one box rather than several. Who it suits: a player choosing ALEPH, whether or not they have played Infinity before. Metal and resin, supplied unpainted and unassembled, so factor in building and painting time. ALEPH fields few models of high quality, which is a demanding way to learn a demanding game, since every loss is felt. If Infinity itself is new, a two player starter teaches the rules first and this box then becomes the army you graduate to.
