Overview
The Infinity N4 Starter Pack from Corvus Belli is the definitive entry point into one of the most technically refined skirmish wargames on the market, distilling the sprawling universe of the Human Sphere into a compact, ready-to-play box. Designed to accompany the fourth edition of the core rules, this starter set pairs two small forces so newcomers can immediately explore the game's distinctive alternating-activation ARO system, where reaction and initiative matter just as much as offense. Inside the box you'll find a curated selection of high-quality resin miniatures representing two contrasting factions, giving players an immediate taste of Infinity's asymmetrical faction design before committing to a full army purchase.
Sculpted with Corvus Belli's characteristic anime-inflected, hyper-detailed aesthetic, the miniatures in this pack are prized by painters for their crisp linework, dynamic dynamic poses, and layered armor plating that rewards careful highlighting and edge work. Each figure is supplied unassembled, with separate weapon and head options that allow hobbyists to customize loadouts and add a personal touch to their squads. Because the sculpts are cast in Corvus Belli's proprietary resin, they hold fine detail exceptionally well, making them ideal subjects for practicing techniques like oil washes, metallic NMM effects, or freehand insignia work, and the smaller unit count keeps the painting workload manageable for beginners.
Beyond the miniatures themselves, the starter pack includes the essential paperwork and reference material needed to jump straight into gameplay: quick-reference sheets, unit profile cards, and a rules primer that walks through core mechanics like Orders, Face to Face rolls, and the Automatic Reaction Order system. Measuring tapes, templates, and other play aids are also included so new players don't need to hunt down accessories before their first game. Whether picked up by a solo painter drawn to the sculpts or by two friends looking to learn the system together, the Infinity N4 Starter Pack functions as both a tabletop-ready introduction to competitive skirmish play and a satisfying, self-contained painting project that showcases the studio-quality detail Corvus Belli is known for.

Hobbyist notes
Feedback from painters and players who use it.
Perfect intro to Infinity
Assembled and painted both squads over a weekend. The detail on these minis is fantastic for the price point, and the quick-start rules actually made ARO mechanics click for me.
Great minis, tough rules
The miniatures are gorgeous and paint up beautifully with washes. Rulebook is still dense even in quick-start form, took a few games to feel comfortable with orders.
Best starter set I've bought
Compared to other wargame starters, this gives you two complete forces plus terrain markers. My local store uses this exact set for new player demos.
Solid but needs extras
You'll want plastic glue and greenstuff on hand for cleanup. Once assembled, the game itself is incredibly tactical and rewarding, especially for painters who like small skirmish scale.
Our verdict
Excellent for starting a new army or game
The Infinity N4 Starter Pack is an excellent gateway into Corvus Belli's tactical skirmish universe, bundling two beautifully sculpted factions with streamlined rules and essential accessories. While assembly and rules mastery take patience, it's a strong value proposition for painters and wargamers wanting to explore a deep, reactive combat system without committing to a full army purchase upfront.
