Infinity: Freelance Operator Samsa (Plasma Rifle)

Samsa introduces himself as a Concordat agent. The Concordat is an Exrah outfit with its own commercial quarrel against the Commissariat, and Samsa cannot be hired in any ordinary sense. He appears when an operation happens to suit whatever the Concordat is quietly arranging, and leaves once it does not.

What that translates to on the table is an infiltrating specialist carrying a plasma rifle, a weapon profile that gets an opponent's attention immediately. A model that starts the game somewhere inconvenient and threatens a heavy weapon from there is a planning problem for the other player before the first order is spent.

• Availability: a freelance operator profile, listed in our catalogue with Haqqislam.
• Role: infiltration, objective work and heavy weapon threat.
• Who it suits: a player who already knows how deployment zones and camouflage markers interact.

Metal and resin, unpainted and unassembled. Mercenary availability shifts between releases, so confirm where this profile is legal for the force you play before committing points to it. Infiltrators are one of the most punishing things to run badly in Infinity, so newcomers should learn the game with a two player set before deploying one across the table from an opponent.
