I actually got into Infinity as a secondry system to 40K, like a Spec Game, something as a fun distraction. Even though you use less models, the games really feel like they have some substance to them, you really have to think about what your doing. When I was a 40k regular, sometimes the games followed similar patterns (not to say I didnt have some great games - I did, some really good ones!). I just think 40k has turned into something Im not sure on anymore, and the cost.... wow the cost! I looked at doing a small WFB Esculation campaign my LGC, I started totting up these seemingly small monthly instalments.. I just thought nooo waaay!
Im not going all Hipsta, and my door is open to 40k, but it needs to be a different beast for me to be interested. and I will play some 5th ed games though with my gaming mates, if they are up for it... ooh and finish the Raven Guard... Every gamer should have a 40k force!
Anyway some newness:
Now I have been looking over the web for ways to improve my Morat force, and I think these guys may be the answer. The Daturazi can 5 man link team and auto hit smokes and are pretty hard to kill. The Yaoget are expensive spec ops guys that can see through smoke and are loaded with some cool weapons ( I also have the sniper so can 5 man link them as well). Finally the Rasyat is an airborn deployment and is basically bad martial arts guy.. so will drop in in behind unsupecting guys and do some Bruce Lee action... or shoot his Shot gun!
This book is lovely! Infinity Campaign Paradiso, the writing is alot better than the other books.. Cant wait to do a campaign!!
Expect some heavy painting updates over the next month... want to clear my back log!
Thanks for looking!

How do you like the infinity models themselves?
ReplyDeleteWell, i wont lie some of the original older models are a bit over posed and meh.... but the newer stuff is stunning, its true scale so you cant appreciate it from pictures. Plus they are re-sculpting the old models fast!
DeleteAlso it requires some patients putting them together - they are metal and fiddly!!
here are some examples of major improvement!

Wow that's a major improvement. Are they also moving to resin, or sticking with metal casting for now?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this out. Thanks for the links and the post!
I wish they would change to resin! But no mention of it tbh!
DeleteI guess they T of S Tournie at the end of the year is off then. Can't say I blame you tbh
ReplyDeleteProbably yes, but more because I just cant get motivated to learn the system! You never know later in the year I might come back, as I say im not going all Hipsta and hating everything GW... Im not even sure if 6th ed is actually bad, I just havent got on with itand there is always 40k hate online so I cant judge it by that... but then you paint some Orks and it makes me want to come back! I possible shouldnt have sold the Ork army I had done and painted! Or the 10K of Eldar I had before that!! :)
DeleteLooks like Im gonna have to study Infinity in more depth. With everything else Ive committed to I think I'm going to be busy.
ReplyDeletelmao! well, I know you will love the gameplay, right up your alley...
