Prepare for a thrilling homecoming! Answering a call you’ve all been sending us since day one, we’re revisiting some of our most iconic Raging Heroes factions in the February release — our Jailbirds and our Kurganova Shock Troops (KST).
We decided to design this release as a break-away force that comes and explores an alien planet covered with a hostile jungle, as that would perfectly fit their “80s action movies” style.
Our Jailbirds range, inspired by iconic characters like Tank Girl, or Vasquez from the Aliens movie, has always been a big favorite. And so, this Heroes Infinite release is the perfect opportunity to expand our range of full-of-attitude, badass, fearless warrior women. If you already own a Jailbirds army, you'll find a lot of good stuff here to expand it and give it a fresh look.

The miniatures in this release, as you might notice, are, for some of them, an adaptation of characters we previously released as fantasy characters in past releases. As you know, we love to do that—bringing existing characters from different ranges and giving them a new life in a different environment. It is a fun way to imagine stories around favorite characters and see what they would become in a different universe.
Usually, we do this at special times of the year, like during the Holiday season, because it also helps us produce the release a little bit faster, considering that at those times, part of the team is often on a break. This way, it makes everyone happy—you get the chance to give beloved characters a new life and a new set of adventures, and it also helps us speed up the workflow a little bit. Because creating such a big release every month is truly a gigantic amount of work.
We really love the vibe of this “Imperial Commando Lost in the Jungle” release because it has that very 80s feel that we know many of you are looking for. It is also a good mix of regular army forces and more scruffy, adventurous types of troops and characters.
The Scenery will give you a great opportunity to set up a dense and hostile alien environment on a faraway alien planet. And last but certainly not least, the TankCenterpiece will be a great opportunity to build a full unit of armored tank transports!
We hope that you love this one as much as we do. As always, please do tell us who your favorite characters are and how you intend to use them in your various games.
Happy painting, happy gaming, and talk to you soon!
