Paradiso 204: Hijacking!

Posted on May 6th, 2013 under , , , , , , . Posted by

Running a little late on some of these posts, just been swamped getting ready for finals as well as trying out a few non-Infinity games (more on those later). Anyways, this scenario of the campaign is usually played by those who lost either of the firs…

April Infinity Releases

Posted on April 24th, 2013 under , , , , , , , , , . Posted by

As usual, Corvus Belli has released the pictures of what’s coming out this month (well, technically next month) through Magabotato.de. Here’s a repost of some of the pictures, along with my commentary on them, why not? First up, there’s Tohaa’s Chaksa …

GnS 3/30 ITS – Round 3: Haqqislam vs ASS

Posted on April 6th, 2013 under , , , , , . Posted by

With two rounds down, I managed to maintain my lead with that win last round against Scott. With only six participants, the ITS had only one round left to go and my challenger for the final round would be Ben, guy who I learned the game with, and his A…

GnS 3/30 ITS – Round 2: Haqqislam vs JSA

Posted on April 4th, 2013 under , , , , , . Posted by

Having achieved max points last game as well as the win, that put me in first place after first round (big whoop, I know). With swiss-pairing, I’d be playing against the next best scoring player. Unfortunately, it seemed that both JSA players ended up …

GnS 3/30 ITS – Round 1: Haqqislam vs Haqqislam

Posted on April 3rd, 2013 under , , , , . Posted by

I finally have time to get around to addressing the battle reports for an ITS last weekend. Only six people attended due to a combination of bad timing with Easter, another ITS up the coast, and International Tabletop Day. None the less, the games were…

Paradiso 202: Hidden Witness

Posted on March 30th, 2013 under , , , , . Posted by

Like a breath of fresh air, I finally got to pull out some non-forest terrain to play on for the campaign. Traditionally this mission is reserved for the guys who lost scenario 102 as an explanation of how to easily get back into the storyline after al…

Tutorial – Painting Glowing Lights

Posted on March 25th, 2013 under , , , . Posted by

Got in a little bit of painting today and figured I’d snap a few pics while the paint was drying to show what I was up to. Now, I’m a bit of an amateur at this, and comfortably so, but here’s a rundown on a very quick method I use to paint glowing ligh…

Paradiso 201: Jungle Ambush

Posted on March 24th, 2013 under , , , , . Posted by

It’s now been two months since we started the campaign and while we’ve finally started Chapter Two, we’re still stuck in the damn wilderness. To help make matters darkest before the dawn (of good ol’ urban terrain), this part of the wilderness is heavi…

Infinity 300pts – Nomads vs HaqqIslam

Posted on November 23rd, 2012 under , , , . Posted by

Had a very pleasant game with John one afternoon after our recent match-up in the ITS, this was his first visit to VC. He’s a bang-up nice guy and I’m lucky to have gotten in this game with him. But enough complimenting him, it’s time to bash his army’…

Four Days Til Paradiso

Posted on October 23rd, 2012 under , , , . Posted by

I posted before about my barely contained excitement toward the upcoming Campaign Paradiso expansion for Infinity. Well, us Infinity players have had to curb our enthusiasm slightly and practice zen-like patience as the book has been delayed by a few weeks. Boo. However, this coming weekend there is a campaign event happening down at new [...]

Hassassin Lasiq

Posted on September 25th, 2012 under , , . Posted by

Next up in my series of Haqqislam miniatures for Infinity is the Hassassin Lasiq. I’ve always loved the mini so it was about time I got some paint on him. In game, the Lasiq are part of the religious Hassassin sectorial and are feared for their use of nasty viral ammunition. In the two games [...]

Answering the challenge of the Panda

When the Happy Panda roars, the quaking can be felt through the forest and no stalk of bamboo is safe.In response to the challenge set down by aforementioned member of Geek Garage I have this set as my target army to be fully painted. As you …

Saladin, Master Strategost of Haqqislam

Posted on September 5th, 2012 under , , , . Posted by

Latest in my series of Infinity Haqqislam miniatures is Saladin, apparently one of the best lieutenants in the game. That title’s not a typo by the way, he actually has an in-game ability called Strategos. Mrs Von D will inevitably pick that one up when she reads this post – she’s a great proof-reader as [...]

Infinity Naffatun

Posted on August 27th, 2012 under , , . Posted by

I’ve been a veritable painting machine of late! Motivation is at a high and I don’t think I’ve ever been getting so much pleasure from my painting before. I’m sure I’ve mentioned in a previous musing that I sometimes struggle to get started but am usually fine once I’m going. Well, this past week I’ve [...]

Time Challenge: Painting an Infinity Mini

Posted on August 25th, 2012 under , , , , , . Posted by

I’m often asked how long it takes me to paint a mini and it’s always been a question I’ve struggled to answer. Mainly because I never just sit down for n hours straight, instead doing a couple of hours here and there over the course of many days or weeks. Also, my painting speed has [...]

Hassassin Fiday

Posted on August 24th, 2012 under , , . Posted by

Hassassin Fiday is absolutely badass. Seriously, there’s something about the miniature and how he plays in game that just drips ice cool menace. I’ve been wanting to do the mini justice for ages and have even had him sat on the painting table in various stages of basecoat but never gotten around to focusing on [...]

Let’s Play Doctors and Nasmats

Posted on August 19th, 2012 under , , , . Posted by

Last week I had a great little 150pt demo game of Infinity with John down at the CGC, in trade for the nice Flames of War 3rd Edition intro he gave me in Clapham the other week. In preparation I’d put together a couple of simple lists from my assembled Haqqislam and Aleph. To my [...]

Infinity Nasmat Remote

Posted on August 13th, 2012 under , , . Posted by

I’m determined to keep up the pace on painting my Infinity Haqqislam squad and so far so good. Next finished mini to share with you is this cute little medi-bot – a Haqqislam Nasmat Remote. In game they are controlled remotely by a Doctor miniature who can stay out of site and treat wounded soldiers [...]

Smell the Tuareg Campfires

Posted on August 9th, 2012 under , , . Posted by

Seems like I’m down at a one-post-a-month rate right now. Not good. Funny how the motivation waxes and wanes, huh? Anyone else out there go through those phases where the thought of picking up a brush just doesn’t appeal for some reason? Any tips for getting around it you’d like to share? Anyway, the reason [...]

Well as Wild Chevy mentioned we did a nice little mini exchange over on our local forum… www.salmondworks.com/forum …  We had a great time.  I was given this awesome Infinity fig to paint and I’ll have to say I had a freakin’ blast painti…
