Tohaa Journey - Stage 2

I recently took a two-week trip to visit family in Toronto, and while I was there, I stopped by at Meeplemart.  Steve, the owner, is always very friendly and helpful, and I was able to find what I wanted in no time.

I picked up a small armful of Infinity models (including a Metro HMG and the Yaoxie remotes), but I also managed to find a pack of bases for my upcoming Tohaa army.  Most blisters of bases only came with 5-6 bases, which made me a bit hesitant because I don't really want to place an order/visit Toronto every time I need new bases for my army.  The Hitech bases I found, though, came in a pack of ten.



Most of the other bases were also either very generic (jungle, sandstone, etc.) or 40k-themed (skulls skulls skulls!), so I was relieved to find a set of regular "ship floor" set.  Hitech normally makes a lot of 40k-esque stuff, but I was lucky enough to get a hold some more generic bases.  They're of reasonably high-quality, and there were only a few holes here and there where bubbles got into the moulds.  For eleven bucks Canadian, I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

These bases have helped me decide that my Tohaa are going to have a boarding-party feel about them.  I think it makes sense - they're here to fight the Combined Army, so there are going to be a lot of little insertions here and there on just about everyone's vessels.  The dark bases mean that I'm going to want to work with lighter armour, and that's ok with me because I'm starting to really like the idea of a very dark-skinned Tohaa army.

The reasons I left CKP - taken down from that blog by Endalyon

For those who may be interested, here is a repost of the reasons why I left Crits Kill People.  Endalyon took down my original farewell post and locked me out of the CKP account. --- Hey, this is Penemue.  I'm the fellow that brought you such articles as a rundown on the  Bane band , a criticism of the alleged  "uselessness"  of certain weapons, and a laundry list of  roles that players misunderstand  when they play Infinity.  I've been part of Crits Kill People since the start, when Tevesh suggested we start a blog that would become an authority on Batman and rival all the other blogs on Infinity. The dream was to release daily content to build our cache with readers, and I'd like to think we've succeeded pretty well with that. It's sad, then, for me to announce that I'm leaving CKP. There are a number of reasons I can't continue to work with this blog, but I promised Tevesh that I would keep this short and sweet. ...

The Molotok

Image
Property of Corvus Belli.  From Campaign: Paradiso . With Paradiso's arrival, Ariadna has finally received a weapon that might start replacing our beloved HMG.  The Molotok (meaning hammer in a bajilion Eastern European languages) is Ariadna's version of the Spitfire, and I have to admit that despite my initial excitement at hearing about a new weapon...I was a bit underwhelmed when I first saw it. I mean, one of the main draws of the Spitfire is that it is at +3 from 0-24", covering that blind spot that the HMG sometimes gets into (especially on units that start or blitz up the board).  The Molotok doesn't have that blind spot covered.  In fact, it's just like an HMG but with a shorter/smaller +3 range, and nothing to make up for it. Nothing except the cost, that is.  HMGs are expensive buggers, and Molotoks seem cheap like nobody's business.  As Corvus Belli has requested players not to reveal the formula they use to design units, I won't be too ...

The Sophotect Challenge - 1

Image
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.
