The Sophotect Challenge - 1

I was out with a number of local Infinity players at the LGS today when the topic of the Sophotect came up.  "She's so good!" was the general consensus, but none of the Aleph players seemed to run her.  How could they know how good she was if she's never even hit the table?  Then the ugly truth came out:

"[We don't run her because] the Sophotect is actually better in the ISS..."  Huh.






As an ISS player, I've taken this declaration as a challenge.  I am going to put aside all of my painting and haul my Sophotect out of hiding.  I'm going to paint her up, and then I'll use her in each and every ISS list I make for the next month after she's done.

I'm hoping this'll inspire the Aleph players here to bring out their own Sophotects.  Let the games begin.

    That's not exactly how I feel about it. She's obviously better in REM heavy Aleph than in ISS. It's just that she's much easier to fit into an actual list when playing ISS.

    Anyway, I look forward to seeing your progress.

    That's fair. I'm just using broad strokes of the pen to get a feel for the reaction as a whole!

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!

Battle Report - Boudicca, Scourge of Rome VS Manfred Rochdale

Source:  https://grazdgfx.tumblr.com/post/171535938767 Yesterday, one of my playtesters and I met up to play the Black Telephone scenario (core 23). He has been waiting for the Once Forgotten to hit the table, as he's a huge fan of undead factions in other games. I decided to take up the Fair Ones this time, figuring that they would be more than curious to see what messages came through the phones from the other side - whatever the other side is. This time, we tested out adjusted point totals and played a 150 point game. By the end of it, we agreed that 200 point games might be a bit more interesting (more models, more options), but this game was a fun scrap over a few ringing phones.

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca is another Ravenous Beyond cult model, but unlike the Disciple of Malphas, she is more than able to sneak around on her own and cause damage behind enemy lines. This article will go through what the Devotee is capable of doing now, along with a quick look at a previous version, and how she might benefit your faction in a game of Pendant World .
