Prolific Painting Panic!

Image
I don't usually post updates about my feats of hobbying, but I have been on fire this week with painting! This is basically me, but with a lot less real fire. I've managed to paint a Spitfire Celestial Guard from start to finish, a trio of Dystopian Wars Britannian Gunships from start to finish, a large chunk of a DW capital flier, and the heads of a few Malifaux models on top. Normally, I don't feel like this kind of progress would merit a post, but I'm excited to be back in the painting groove.  Moreover, I may be getting a new camera fairly soon, so I'll finally be able to post pictures!

The Human Edge I

I've compiled the first of my Human Edge stories into .pdf format.  It's all available here , in one place, for download!

Scenario - Exalted Above All others

This is an idea I had for a multi-player free-for-all.  We seldom play multiplayer games at my LGS, so I thought this would be a quick and easy way to entice regular players into the cut-throat world of four-player madness. This scenario was designed for four players, each equidistant from the middle of the board.  Fighting has been going on for some time in this theatre, and troops are weary and in need of medical attention.  Emergency supplies have been called in, but they've landed in no man's land and haven't exactly been configured properly... SETUP Place a marker in the exact middle of the board, equidistant from each player's deployment zone.  This marker does not block LoF, but the medical supplies are heavy and large enough that the market cannot be moved through normally. SCORING Picking up the medical supplies takes a Short Skill .  Any Doctor or Paramedic can pick up the supplies using a Short Movement Skill instead.  Models cannot an...

Scenario - Catching Beauty's Eye

I flipped through Human Sphere at random while making lunch the other day, and I ended up landing on the Neo-Concubinage section.  After giving it a quick re-read, I thought it would be cool to design a scenario around trying to impress one of the most beautiful - and dangerous - socialites the Sphere has to offer.  So, with no further ado...

Model Review - July

Image
Welcome to July's model review! Metro HMG Ranking 8/10 Finally, the Metro HMG is released, and damn does he look good.  This model manages to maintain the relative simplicity of Ariadna models, but combines this simplicity with a rough look that shows the Metro means business.  The pulled-up hood adds that extra aura of menace, too. The HMG is of a nice scale, and it's even nicer to see a "regular guy" carrying the weapon in both hands.  With all of the one-hand-HMG-toting that's been going on in the Infinity line, I've started to wonder exactly how heavy those things really are. I've been saying for a while now that I want to get into Merovingia (I'm an Ariadna player at heart), and the Metro HMG might just be the final push I need to throw myself into the sectorial.  Very cool model. Shaolin Warrior Monks (box) Ranking 8.5/10 This release is for all those Yu Jing players that had a problem with the old Monks.  These guys ...

The Human Edge VII

Here is the very last installment of Antonio's story.  I hope everyone's enjoyed it thus far!  Look forward to my next story (and lots of other awesome writing) in the Infinity online community's short story competition .

On Losing Troops Early

This is an article I wrote for my second LGS.  There are a lot of new players there, and some of them have become dismayed at the rapid loss of units that - they feel - seems unique to Infinity.  Maybe you'll get something out of this for people you know who might feel the same way!
