Well pass me my stuns, my boarding shotgun and that 6-pack it's mission time! I go away, and come back and find my fellow gamers are finally playing Infinity. I should be happy, I am. I just wish they had started earlier. I wish they had started when I did, 18 months ago when I was painting Inifinity figures all by myself. You can paint by yourself, but I am too old to play by myself. Anyway no inunendo on this blog. It gets exhausting.
I also come back to find the usual lack of monetary restraint (Martin), and fevered multi-army purchasing (Ben) and the real life tacticool option being persued (Sean). Arms races, mission creep and military details.
In infinty I collect and painted Nomads (deliberate mix of tenses). I haven't played yet. I still have more to paint. I play Corregidor, but I would like to collect all three.
Some pictures below. More in future days when I find them, and then more as I paint more and as I loose to the other three who have played more games than me. Still that's what cubes are for; to upload, try again and get painted all over the wall.
My current development plans are to get some cheap infantry, maybe a bandit, get some JC-Tags and then prepare for Tanguska, or maybe Bakunin if the former is a long way of in the development process.
Below is a stop gap picture, until I find pics of the rest of my models.
Inifinity was the first time in a long time that I paid careful attention to skin tones and cut the GW-metalics from figure-painting - although I used it on the bases. After 20 years, it was also the point at which I decided I would not undercoat in black anymore. It was also the first time I discovered the joy of not painting 20 figures at a time, and realised that big-headed heroic models make detailing easy, but that tiny heads look better. Good times. That is good times18 months ago when I first wanted to play Inifinty.
Peace, love and safety off mission is go, go, go!
