GTM #202 - Infinity: The Tohaa Challenge
by Gutier Lusquinos

Corvus Belli has released a new 300-Point Pack which includes all the models necessary to compose a whole playable army list for the Tohaa. This race is the latest addition to the Infinity universe, a new contender entering the ring of the Human Sphere.

The Tohaa are an advanced alien civilization currently waging an open war against the EI and its Combined Army. Guardians of one of the great treasures of the universe, the Tohaa have withstood the EI’s onslaught longer than any other race in this galaxy. The Tohaa are masters of biotechnology, which enables them to build terrible viral weapons and impervious symbiont armors, but also to alter other species, granting them more intelligence so they can fight by their side. The Tohaa need allies, and Humanity seems fitting for the first line of battle against the Combined Army.

The forces of the Tohaa Trident, the name of the army of this implacable race, have a peculiar operating structure based on the number three - as illustrated by their combat Triads, units of three members that act as one. Also of note are the naming conventions of their regiments, inspired by an ancient numerological system. Tohaa troops are highly professional, seasoned in a thousand battles against the EI, and have a long history of fighting on their own, without support and hopelessly outnumbered.

Virtuosos of the impossible, the Tohaa are great strategists who know how to move and operate in closed and complex situations. Even when surrounded and completely besieged, the Tohaa break free of hampering situations with direct, disruptive actions, punching through opposition via unexpected vectors. They are the only ones that seem capable of facing the unrelenting tide of the Combined Army in its unstoppable sequence of conquests.

But the wear of endless years of war is taking its toll on the Tohaa civilization. They are starting to show clear signs of exhaustion, and are in desperate need of an alliance with Humanity. The question is, are the Tohaa truly willing to collaborate fully and openly with their new allies? Or will they try to sacrifice the humans just for a modicum of respite to build their forces for the final blow against the EI?
