From the Couch: Infinity The Game

I love this cover.

Hello, again everyone! Lastly i managed to get few Infinity games and I want to share my thoughts on this awesome game. First of all, I must admit that it was very different experience form what I'm used to from GW games.

Sorry, my camera broke so generic photos only:(

The most important thing is movement, how are you going to spend your orders is pretty much deciding factor. Moving too many miniatures can result in you being vulnerable for your opponent to kill your minis. Having an opportunity to go deep into enemy territory with fast and hard-hitting model is something that you must do(at least my very limited experience says so). Stopping mid-field and waiting for your opponent to act is a foolish idea at best(which I learned the hard way). I've got the feeling that being too careful is soon going to bite you in the butt.
Next thing are the special skills, they are invaluable for you(especially those that affect movement like Climbing Plus or Super Jump). Those are a real deal and I would try to include as many minis with special abilities as I can. Terrain is almost as important after those few games I think that there is no such a thing as too few terrain on the Infinity table. So these are my initial thoughts on the subject. I'll certainly return to it when i get some more experience so watch out.

In other news here are the pictures of April releases:

Cheers,

Gamer.

Army Infinity v.3.0. - http://www.devilteam.com

This I hope to master and crush my enemies with. It's a wild guess on what I would need on the battlefield(I hope that my choicesw are correct, if not I'll have to adjust). If everything goes ok, next month this list will be ready and I'll start the field tests. Until know, since I don't have everything I need I'll try to catch few games to learn the rules and to learn how to wield my JSA properly. That's it for now, I leave you with the pictures promised on the beginning of the post. If any of you have any thoughts on this, please, don't hesitate to comment.

Painting white is hard. This is my first try.

Hopefully second Aragoto will turn out better than this one.

Hobby Project: March Update #1

Look what the cat dragged in , Nevermind the date its way off.

Yeah, yeah.. I know, I should be posting those lists that I effed up yesterday. But today I have something more interesting that my lousy army lists(they will return tomorrow). I bought some new stuff. Today few models found shelter on my painting desk. A Japanese Sectorial Army starter, Aragoto box and a Keikotsu with ML. I planned to buy two starter sets but my LGS was short on ALEPH starters(so I decided that I'll buy more models for the JSA instead). I returned home with a big smile on my face and imediately started to unpack my new minis. They are as nice in person as they are on the pictures but when I assembled them I cursed my large bulky fingers and small parts of the models(like Aragoto handlebars). To put together an Oniwaban was a little nightmare as well(pinning them to be precise).

Little dark, sorry :P, Also base is WIP

Other than me, killing my wallet, I painted a new mini for Warmachine. It's a Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator! I love this little bugger, and painting him was a lot of fun(while it lasted, which wasn't very low). I chose a classic scheme with black hat and light brow coat. I'm really proud of him. Those WM/H stuff is very, very cool. I'll be getting a Winterguard UA(Standard and Officer), they'll be at my door later this week. I tried to get Widowmakers but they didn't have them.

And last, but not least, this weekend I attended a WFB Torunament(it's called Bazyliszek). It was a 2400pts ETC Format tournament with 120+ attendees. Also, it was my first tournament since 6th edition of the WFB. We played 5 games over 2 days. I played Dwarfs(their army list will be posted tomorrow).  My opponents were, in this order: Skaven(they crushed me 0:20), Skaven(the same, 0:20), Warriors of Chaos(this time i was victorious, 18:2), Dark Elves(a victory!, 17:3) and Skaven(this was supposed to be a victory, but due to my mistake it was a draw, 10:10). I was 91th overall(thanks to lack of experience and borrowed minis). It's not very impressive position but i think that is not bad for a total tournament noob(well I have played six games of 8th ed total).


That is all for today. I hope you found my ramblings interesting, and my english, didn't make you bleed through your eyes.

Cheers
