Next Wave answers to the Evolved Intelligence, and it fights like something that was designed rather than recruited. This is one of the Combined Army's sectorials, drawn from species the EI decided were worth improving instead of simply grinding down, and its lists feel alien even next to the rest of the Combined Army.An Action Pack is the format Corvus Belli uses when it wants a whole small army to arrive in one purchase. That makes this the natural foundation of a Next Wave collection rather than a top up for one, and it is aimed at a player who has decided on the faction instead of sampling it. Faction: Combined Army, Next Wave sectorial. Role: starts a force, and gives you enough troopers to build lists from day one. Playstyle: Combined Army armies lean on tough elite bodies and specialists that punish an opponent who leaves a lane open. Models are metal or resin, supplied unpainted and unassembled, so plan for hobby time alongside table time. Infinity has a genuinely steep learning curve, and if you have never played it we would point you at a two player starter first. If you already know the rules and want the Combined Army's strangest branch, this is the box that gets you playing it.
