Cheap Infinity Terrain from the Hardware Department

     I want to provide some cheap, functional, and durable terrain for the local game store in order to grow the Infinity community. I have seen electrical boxes been used before in other systems, specifically 6mm SciFi games like Micropanzer (http://www.micropanzer.com/). Thus, I visited the local hardware store's electrical department to try my luck.

The boxes are very cheap since each one varies from 19 cents to $2.00 depending on it's size. You can see in the background right side, that I painted one with some cheap automobile spray paint, so paint sticks.

The nice thing about these is that some are 3 inches tall (old style, which look boxier) and the newer ones are 3.5 inches tall. This is perfect for Infinity since most models can climb up 3 inches.

The new style is the one in the foreground, and the old style in the background. The terrain works well for Infinity since they are heavy enough that they will not move easily by being bumper. Plus, you can create different battle grounds by changing it all up. It may not be pretty, but they are very functional. It makes Infinity play like the arcade shoot-em' up that it is meant to be played like via its scale and rules.

Warriors and Orks: Updating Old Models

Here is a beauty shot of my favorite conversion and paintjob. It is literally a DeffDread that is standing on 2 KillaKan bodies with a KillaKan body head.

Here are my Nurgle Warriors repainted for the new army book. I now have a secret love of basing the movement tray. I think it makes it look a lot more natural and has a good flow from the model to the table.

I am slowly working towards my troll horde. I am now up to 12 painted trolls.

Tzeentch and Nurgle Chaos Warriors Repaints: Electric Boogaloo

     I painted my Chaos Warriors WHFB army about two years ago. It was my first fully painted army, too. Thus, my skills have improved, so I am going back and updating the army for the new book.

     I wanted the warriors to look like they where glowing suits of armor. The BSB (Skull guy) is the skull collector for my Sorcerer, so he can analyze the brains of enemy mages. My fluff is that the Sorcerer sacrificed his warband to gain power ala the manga, Berserk.

     I am repainting what was my Khorne Warriors into Nurgle ones. The Tzeentch warriors are the souls of the warriors, where the Nurgle ones are the bodies. I am painting the skulls' eyes glowing blue to show that they are powered by Tzeentchian magic.

Kitbashed Throgg the Troll King: Who's the Barf Boss?

     Here is my plastic Throgg that is made up of the mutants from the Warshrine kit and Daemon Prince bits.The Finecast model is beautiful, but I worry about its durability.

Tried to make him WYSIWYG as possible with the great weapon and skull crown. Armor reminds me of Regen being a 4+ for trolls.

I don't think I will be forgetting stomps anytime soon....

1000 Ork/Dark Eldar: Long Live Team Krump & Hump

     Tabletop Game & Hobby, my FLGS, held a 40k team tournament last weekend. Each player brought a 1000 pt list with no allies and 1 fortification between the team's players.

Big Mek KFF
1 Dakkajet with extra shoota
2*20 Boyz with BigChoppa/BP Nob
19 Boyz with PowerKlaw/BP Nob
3 Battlewagons with Big Shoota, Deffrolla, Red Paint

     My battleplan was to drive the battlewagons up a flank as fast as possible Turn 1. Turn 2 would be tankshocking with deffrollas and throwing fistfuls of shoota boy dice. My Dark Eldar partner and I would deploy to appear as a battle line, but he would quickly zoom over to my side in order to run a refused flank. I brought the durable troops, while he brought the anti-tank and harassing units.

     My Dakkajet "Da Shootiest" was my MVP as it put the hurt on 2 flying Daemon Princes and gave me some much needed quick dakka.

     Deffrollas didn't accomplish much since I didn't roll to hot with them, but they provided a much needed threat. I want the wagons to keep being a threat even after the boys are out of them. Thus, the rollas keep the wagons scary. Red Paint is also worth it. It helps with assaults and gives extra range to shooting.

Game 1: Blood Angels/Orks
     I deploy like a git, which allows a Dread with a melta to droppod down and melta one of my wagons. The updates to vehicle explosions is all vehicles explode at Str 4. This kills lots of boys...I run the other wagons forward to capture 2 objectives. We win this game.

Game 2: Necrons/Chaos Marines
     I deploy right on the edge of the left flank. Two 10 man flanks deploy right across from me. I fear being glanced to death, but I move up 19" in order to get a Turn 2 assault. One Wagon gets wrecked, which is preferable to exploding. Wagons serve their job if I can get 20 boys into a scrum without losing any Turn 2. We draw this game because I cannot finish off a single Plague Marine, so I can't contribute to a fight with a Necron Overlord.

Game 3: Chaos Marines/Chaos Daemons
     We face off against 4 flying monstrous creatures, and I cowardly place my wagons as far away as possible. I get a bunch of lucky shots off on the daemons and they fail Grounding tests. This misfortune opens up the door for shoota boys to lay down the hurt. This game becomes very one-sided as my partner and I have wiped all of the big daemons off the board after Turn 3. We win this game.

Final Record: 2-1-0

     Our team (Krump & Hump) ends up being Best Overall, so we win a shiny gold medal. Our perfect sportsmanship score and very high painting score allows us to barely squeak out a victory over a very close running.

     TL;DR: Orks are best.

1000 pt Battlewagon Rush Team Tournament

     I have a 40k team tournament coming up and my partner is Dark Eldar. We each have a 1000 points to build a single FOC list. I want to run Kan Wall, but I haven't had much luck with it in 6th. Thus, I am running an AV14 wall to rush forward.

The above is a WIP of 2 of my wagons with my KFF Big Mek Cyclork conversion. I had more fun painting the yellow one since it comes out so much more grungy. Plus, I spray primed it yellow, so it was easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Here is my list.

Big Mek KFF
1 Dakkajet with extra shoota
2*20 Boyz with BigChoppa/BP Nob
19 Boyz with PowerKlaw/BP Nob
2 Battlewagons with Big Shoota and Deffrolla
1 Battlewagon with Big Shoota/Deffrolla/Boarding Plank (To swing the PK)
990 points

I have ten points floating, which could be used for 2 more big shootas on the wagons or Cybork (5++) for the Big Mek. I could drop the Boarding Plank and run 2x Big Shootas on all wagons, but they will most likely be screaming forward full speed, so will only be there for weapon destroyed results. It kills me to not run Power Klaws on all of the Nobz, but I think the Deff Rollas are more important in the Team Setting. My Dark Eldar partner has plenty of Anti-Tank. The one Power Klaw is mainly there to absorb challenges, but I don't plan on getting out of the wagons unless a juicy CC presents itself.

Thoughts?

It is silly but the message on his fist, makes me giggle. Also, notice the red starter button for the KFF. I imagine a grot following him to pound the button as projectiles explode against the KFF.

Class Dismissed.

Ravenwing, Scouts, and HQs: Space Shark Style

     I am slowly adding my reinforcements from the new Dark Angels book to my Space Shark terminators. Here are 2 squads of Melta and Multimelta bikes with 5 Scouts with a Missile Launcher.

     Here is a Sargent with a MicroArt Steam Knight head.

     Here is my bike librarian and techmarine, with a gun ol' gun for funsies.

     I messed up my Scout sarge's eyes, so he got professional wrestler style face paint.

     After doing it about 80 times, I can freehand a pretty mean shark.....
