Cheap Infinity (or any Wargame) Tokens with Scrapbooking Materials

Tokens, Tokens, Tokens. You can use 1 inch clear epoxy bottle cap pendant stickers to make cheap tokens. I also have a Martha Stewart 1" scrap-book punch. Just buy a bunch off of Amazon because these bottle caps are much more expensive in a Hobby/Art store. I bought 200 of them because I wanted to provide enough for multiple players since I am working to grow Infinity locally.

The Operation: Icestorm tokens are perfect for using this trick, too! You can see the left token is plain, and the right one has a bottle cap on it. A thing to not is that the bottle caps may get stuck to the paper backing, if this happens just bend the bottle cap gently, and the paper will separate off.

So fancy! No more rummaging through a sandwich bag for this gentleman!

Smoke markers are cotton that is hot glued to a penny and sprayed black. I just place the token, measure the distance, make the PH roll to throw the grenade, and then hold the template over the marker whenever I need to check Line of Sight. This way I don't have to fuss over moving terrain or models.

Infinity 300 pt MRRF army: Mechs & Werewolves go together like Peanut & Chocalate

Here is my 300 pt army of the Merovingian Rapid Response Force for Infinity. The army was completed for the Mayacast 300 Army Challenge, which is due December 1st. I wanted to get it finished before the Thanksgiving holidays. Also, it was a joy to paint for a purpose. I chose this army to be based off of a Fairy Tale story,

Briscards, the 5 Brothers

The secret to my success was painting a little bit every day. This way I was consistantly making progress. Also, I spoiled myself by painting the coolest model, the Anaconda TAG first, which I usually save the centerpiece models for last, and paint the grunt models first.

The Anaconda, the Huntsman

Margot, Little Red Riding Hood

Duroc, the Big Bad Wolf

Foreground: Chasseur, Gretel

Background: 112 Emergency, Hansel

Works in Progress: Infinity Army and a Meganob

Here are my Infinity Merovingian Rapid Response Force army models that I am painting up for the MayaCast paint challenge. These 2 models are Traktor Mul remotes.

The MRRF is a low-tech French army, so I decorated them with a lazy Canadian flag and forest type foliage. 

Here is a WIP shot of the rest of the army. I had to paint my fireman with a fancy yellow jacket.

Now matter how much I love Infinity, I cannot resist the call of Gork/Mork. I converted up a random Meganob out of stuff that I had lying around the bits box. I was inspired by a Marvel comic with Stilt-Man in it.

*Slow Clap* GW Releases the new Tyranid Unit Rules for....Free!?

If this release is a sign of a new direction, I am quite the fan. http://www.blacklibrary.com/Home/free-to-download.html

Infinity Anaconda TAG Finished with 3d Printed Base

     Here is my Anaconda TAG and pilot for my Mayacast challenge. The mech was very fun to paint because I love painting green, and the large details were relaxing to paint.

This may be a record for the fastest that I have finished a miniature after priming.

Here I am basecoating with Vallejo Highland Green and Bronze.

Here is the miniature before a wash of GW Nuln Oil with a highlight of the same Vallejo colors.

Here is a better shot of the bases, which were printed off my classroom 3d printer using PLA plastic, so it is made of corn! Science in my Sci-fi!

No Disintegrations: Infinity Authorized Bounty Hunter.

     The Authorized Bounty Hunter is the free miniature that you get for preordering the Infinity 3rd Edition book. The Authorized Bounty Hunter (ABH) is a merceanry miniature that you can take 3 in any ITS army list (AVA 3) in a non-Sectorial (Non-theme) army, a.k.a. Vanilla army. Here is their profile below.

    The ABH has a special rule, where you can roll on the Booty Lvl2 table. As you can see, one of these rolls results in ARM +3, which explains why the preorder ABH miniature is so heavily armored. Also, the mini is a homage to Appleseed, which inspired much of the look of PanOceania.

     If you place a preorder for the new Infinity book by November 13th, 2014, then you get the free ABH mini. You don't need the book to play since Corvus Belli puts the rules for free online, but if you want an earlier look at the rules, and want to read the (excellent) story, get the book.

300 pt Infinity List MayaCast Paint Challenge

The guys over at the MayaCast are having a 300 pt Infinity list painting challenge. You need to email a 300 pt list from the official army builder along with a timestamped photo of your minis by November 1st. The minis can be unassembled, assembled, or prime, but cannot have any non-primer color on them. Then, you need to email a finished photo by December 1st to the hosts. Everyone that completes their challenge will be entered into a raffle for Operation: Icestorm. I am entering mainly to encourage myself to paint a new faction.
