While I Was Gone

So, its October 2016 and I am very much aware I have not updated this blog for over ten months. And this is not because I have dropped out of the hobby, or fallen off the face of the planet; which is hopeful obvious if anyone is following the Facebook page.

Infinity Terrain, from Ikea (and big fish)

Getting a full 4′ x 4′ board together for Infinity is one of bigger challenges of playing this game. Everyone is happy to get their own armies built and painted, but most wargamers tend to consider terrain as a distant second place thing.

N3 Beginnings

Well, we have finally popped our collective Infinity cherry. Over the last few weeks I have now played five Infinity games using my very small Nomad list (at 120 and 150 points), verus Morats and Japanese Sectorial.

Journeyman Leagues, Nomads and Stuff

Firstly, some apologies (damn I hate doing these all the time). Life has generally got in the way of blogging over the last few months. This is likely to continue for a bit, so please bear with me, or follow the Anything Worth Doing page on Facebook for slightly more regular updates.

Microart Studios

For my second Infinity partner focus I’m going to talk about Microart Studios. This Polish company has been around for some years and started with resin bases and conversion pieces, which I have used for my Blood Angels and Eldar.

Painting Miniatures A to Z

One of the reasons Infinity (the Game) has a repution of having some of the best minitures in the industry is down to one of their staff painters, an extremely talently gentleman by the name of Angel Giraldez. After producing various painting guides for Vallejo’s paint set, including the Non-Metallic Metal set, Angel self published his first book early this year, entitled ‘Painting miniatures from A to Z’ Masterclass Volume 1.

Terrakami

Before anyone says anything, yes, I have been neglecting my blogging duties. This is a function of real life, family and work over the first half of this year. None of these things have calmed down significantly, however I am back at least at a point where hobby stuff can happen again.

N3

Sometime ago I picked up Infinity 2nd edition and the Human Sphere expansion book. As a ‘hard’ sci-fi game I’ve been keen to come back this, which has been tricky because Warmachine is my main drug of choice at the moment.

To Infinity, and beyond!

175 years into the future. Humanity has extended through various star systems.
Science advances, economy proposes and all appears to be going reasonably well…

My Week in Wargaming

OK, first off, I’ve played one game of Warmachine and worked far too much, so this might be a short post. This post may also ramble on a bit so you have been warned.
