It doesn't feel right to kill an unarmed man... but I'll get over it.

Any of you from the Seattle area?
I'm taking a trip there on the weekend and was wondering if anyone knows of place between Vancouver, BC and Seattle that carries a standing stock of Infinity minis. It would be nice to poke my head in while i'm in the area and maybe pick something up.

Card Kingdom in Ballard and their Bellvue satellite store Mox Boarding House both carry a decent amount of stuff. Games and Gizmos (now in Kirkland) has had stuff in the past, but they just moved into a temp space while they build out a much better store front, and are pretty much special order only for the time being.

They are drat cool. How many other companies actually go for sculpting other racial groups than white man? Talking mostly sci-fi games here, historicals are kind of cheating in this regard.

Mr. Helsbecter will you please stop shooting I am on the phone

Trying to brainstorm a 400 point list for an upcoming tournament in October.

Jurisdictional Command of Bakunin
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1 10
RIOT GRRL Boarding Shotgun, Stun Grenades + TinBot B (Deflector L2) / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 30)
RIOT GRRL (Specialist Operative) Combi Rifle, Blitzen, Stun Grenades / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 30)

AVICENNA Combi Rifle, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27)
PROWLER (Specialist Operative) Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower, Adhesive Launcher / Pistol, CCW. (0.5 | 33)
BRAN DO CASTRO (Specialist Operative) Combi Rifle+ E/Mitter / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 37)
MODERATOR Combi Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9)
MODERATOR Combi Rifle + Pitcher / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0.5 | 10)
MODERATOR Combi Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9)
TSYKLON Spitfire, Pitcher / Electric Pulse. (1 | 31)

GROUP 2 5

REVEREND CUSTODIER Hacker (Hacking Device Plus) Lieutenant Combi Rifle + Pitcher / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 34)

SIN-EATER MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 33)
SIN-EATER HMG / Pistol, CCW. (2 | 33)

6 SWC | 399 Points

Open in Infinity Army

Board control, board control, board control.The goal here is to squat on the middle of the board with the infiltrators with a mountain of supporting fire from the sin eaters and the tsyklon. The idea isn't really to wipe my opponent off the board, but just to hold the real estate without any real weaknesses. Does this look OK, or is it too wimpy in the active turn? I could put in a lizard...

EDIT: realized I get 8 swc, back to the drawing board.

Does anyone have any experience playing 400 points? What's important?

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom
Bloody Hell, Total Reaction is a nightmare. Played a game last night where I managed to get a Reaktion Zond onto the highest point in the game in the first turn, buffed it with Marksmanship Level 2 and it completely shut down one side of the board. When it was taken down by a lucky shot I simply repaired it with a nearby Remote Zond and it carried on chewing through my opponent, claiming a hacker and a 4 man link team by the end of the game.

Also had my first experience with an ADHL - immobilised my opponent's TR remote through hacking and then popped it with the glue gun. We were playing the BTS Coding Sequence mission, and after taking two objectives in the first turn, I was able to stall my opponent on his first objective, with the the Reaktion Zond covering the second and third.

Really enjoying Infinity, although I'm still getting used to all the options available and the rules - two mistakes last game, about Minelayer being used to deploy a mine in the enemy half of the table, plus Gotcha! lasting for two turns, which meant I didn't really have to use the ADHL.

One thing to be aware of is that when they say turn they mean player turns not rounds. So if you hit my heavy infantry with Gotcha! on your reactive turn, then he is still immobilised on my active turn. The HI is able to move again on my following active turn, assuming it has survived that long.

The pawsting business is tough work.
Taskmaster looks like a Bakunin'd-up version of a Brigada, which I like, but that helmet and the big dumb Bandit knife are bad.

Needs a different color scheme, too. Red hex-butt just makes it look Tohaa as hell.

This. CB paintjobs lost a lot since they switched to two-colors schemes. Accents, people.

The Taskmaster looks 3x better in classic white/orange Bakunin scheme with blue-metal synthmuscles.

Tinbots are pretty pointless, since they're just tokens.

But I really doubt that two Tinbot sculpts = one model sculpt, even an S2 one.

It's likely the same tool size for both these guys as a single standard S2.

Sort of. The resources used on making models for markers could have been used anywhere else. Also they add an unnecessary complexity to an already complicated game since tinbots aren't targetable.
