'Cause frankly, I'm sick of it. I don't know about you, but I needed something a bit different.
Today is Infinity. For those of you who aren't aware of the game... that's your problem. What? This is the internet - use it or not, your option.
Brent got suckered into purchasing models for this game by (who else) the Master Manipulator (every store needs one), among others. Those dudes were looking for a skirmish game to replace Confrontation.
Confrontation. A dead game, and another reason to dislike the French.
Parlez vous that, Rackham.
Anyway, Brent bought a box set and some blisters and promptly painted up an army. That's the kind of guy he is... a sucker.
Did he play it? Not once. Evidently, we didn't have the terrain for it. Now he's stuck with vaguely manga-ish Middle Eastern-looking dudes with AK-47-looking Carbines.
So yea, that's a fairly realistic look at the future.
Cool looking bases... nice minis, too!
ReplyDeleteWhile the square bases are well done, they neither fit the setting, nor the models, nor the rules for Infinity. :'(
ReplyDeleteThat said, they are nicely painted. The Djanbazan's pose is definitely dynamic, but this one just looks like he's falling over. That is one of the only starter-only models that I would really love to be able to find on its own.
It's good to see games that aren't GW and PP getting love.
Well, if you're a super-sucker- those guys can hold down some shelf space next to your Warzone, Chronopia, and Void miniatures!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Papa and AoM on the bases - rewrite the rules and setting to make them fit. And it's always good to see something fresh, a different future.
ReplyDeleteIt is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is what it is as you would say.

ReplyDeleteYaaay Infinity! I played it a couple of times and really enjoyed it, but the need for dense sci-fi terrain stalled it in the local group (and I admit to finding the rulebook layout and general aesthetic of the models unappealing, although some of the Ariadna stuff was okay enough to play). Shame really - it's the first system I've come across where shooting is something that's traded equally rather than either ignored or used to overwhelm.
ReplyDeleteYou can pick up the entire rulebook as a PDF for free, they have a free online army builder (which is awesome) and the game is so worth playing...
ReplyDeleteIt's like 40k, without the GW control freakery pricing nightmare... I picked it up in the new year (skirmish in 2011 is my resolution) and haven't looked back.
My painting ain't quite yours, but check out: http://pathfinder-devilin.blogspot.com/2011/02/painting-showcase-haqqislam-so-far.html
I think these are really good- I am surprised more (less complicated) games have not taken off using the Warhammer crowd. I think you paint so well...I need a second coat- cant wait to see your brush!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia Davis
They're nice models, but like Malifaux they cost waaaaay too damn much. Not that it stopped me from buying the landmate-looking ones (because I'm a Shirow fanboy)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for throwing out some beautifully Painted Infinity Models.
ReplyDeleteWhile 40k is my first love (and addiction), Infinity might be my favorite system, as was said already it's nice to see it getting some love.
you sir are a nigger, those look nothing like manga
ReplyDeleteWow, that was uncalled for.
ReplyDeleteWell that was utterly repulsive... wow, strong argument for comment moderation.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I'm all for free speech, but damn anon 3, just go to bed, you're not ready to be on the interwebs
ReplyDeleteI like the way they look brent, very shirow masamune, shame that you went through all that just to wind up not playing them, but look on the bright side, possibe terrain
