Today I went to one of the local stores where they sell Infinity to buy my first figures. Just when I was about to pay they told me that they have a special promotion, 50% off on all Infinity stuff.

They don't take credit cards. I've never been happier about that.

This is a really excellent board. I like how simple it is, but the plants really tie it all together. I saw you posted in the terrain thread but I read this one more frequently. Got any tips for replicating that look?

It always seems to go that way. "Hmmm I'd like to start some Corregidor....Meeplemart is selling Infinity for 40% off this weekend? Welp."

I started playing about a year and a half ago now. I've got a small PanO force that started with Operation Ice Storm. Nomads, Corregidor. Almost all the JSA models. Vanilla Ariadna, and almost all the models for USARF. I play all of them frequently because games are so fast that my opponents and I usually play a game and then switch some stuff up for round two.

The thing I'm actually proud of though, and never achieved with any other mini game, is that I can play with completely painted armies. Feels good man.

True to my promise of finely sculpted bottoms... :blush: I grabbed Asuka KIsaRAgi, but as they told me about the 50% discount, I added an O-Yoroi pilot because I'm a whore.
Monday I'm planing to grab one Yu Jing starter (Red Veil) and a Corregidor Jurisdictional Command Sectorial Starter Pack. (And maybe 1-2 bilsters of Aleph because I love the models. :shepspends:)
That should sort me out with enough poo poo to paint for a while, and maybe try playing at the next beginner day in the nearby store.

Get the actual Red Veil and sell the Haqqislam part. The bowninja is awesome and at 50% off it's a no-brainer.

I really want to try it because putting down 6 rems and 12 viral rifle dudes - 9 nearly half way up the board - immediately would get great reactions. Plus battle kittys are the best cats.

However, I'm concerned no one will ever talk to me again. Also the whole 'winning the game' thing goes out the window before you even deploy.

Somewhere in the middle of the "sir, I'll have to insist on no proxies" territory.

I'd still love to see it, assuming you proxy the Lu Duans and their echoes with actual Su Jians.

Can someone with a Tikbalang show me how to glue the feet so it isn't leaning and hanging over the side of the base. More specifically where is the foot on the log, and am I expected to drill out the feet circle indentations?

Breathe.

The constant Infinity sales are why I have one good 300 point list and then like 6 150-200 point lists for different factions. It's a disease.

In the first two photos here, the red circles are where the hole for the right foot is. You can kinda see the foot post in the first photo. The second (not mine) shows from above where it is. You can also see the left foot hole as well. If your base doesn't have these then something is wrong.




Here's what the feet are supposed to look like put together. Hope this helps.

So go get laid, get it out of your system, then come back with a list of what you bought and we'll tell you how to wrangle it into a playable force :cheeky: And maybe link some all-girl army threads, as it's tried pretty regularly.

Off the top of my head I can tell that wrt nice female models you're probably missing the Karakuri geishabots (durable as gently caress specialists and swiss-army-knife loadouts), Tokusetsu Eisei (JSA doctor, now in support pack but used to be sold separately for a short while; also get the Yaozao blister if they have it), Shinobu Kitsune (super-ninja), old HMG and sniper Alguaciles (cute and characterful and the new gals are terrible), Reverends (especially Custodiers for dat sweet hax, alternatively an Interventor).

And if you're in it just for the painting, look up the Acherontia bust.

Also, happy birthday! :toot:

ed: poo poo, forgot Aleph. From the lack of the fem-Hunzacutie I assume you're interested in YJ/Nomads/Aleph? Devabox Deva, sniper Naga, Sophotect, old Posthuman box, Atalanta.

Thanks for the recommendations! Kitsune I already ordered, and should be on its way. (I was told for some reason Corvus Belli will not post/work next week so orders are delayed.) I'll look up the others, see if the local stores have any.
I never painted any busts, and missed the Luxumbra KS with like 3 days, but I did find a dude who backed it and already have a deal in place with him.

Yep, YJ for the bikes, mechs and ninjas/katana wielding chicks. Nomads because Wildcats / Hellcats and Riot grrls mainly. And Aleph because they seem to be Cyberpunk/GitS turned to 110%

I'll make a list of the poo poo I bought tomorrow.

Also now that I put my 3rd Infinity figure together, can you guys advise on how you do it? Most parts are too small for pinning and I have been just supergluing them (Loctite) will that hold in the long run?
Metal stuff I worked before and needed pinning have been huge. Like BB big guys, and a SoB Exorcist, smallest being old daemonettes, but even them seemed an easy task compared to some of the stuff on these bikes for example. That being sad I had lots of fun putting together the O-Yoroi diorama thing.

Clean all the flash and mold lines.
Scrub with a brass brush.
Scrub with soap and water.
Score all the joints and glue.

I only pin huge heavy stuff like TAGs or out stretched limbs that could use reinforcement.

Where country do you live in? If you're in the US there's way better places to order than CB.

Pierzak
Oct 30, 2010
Seriously, wash the minis after cleaning. They're covered with release agent that can weaken the joint noticeably.

And nothing's too small for pinning. You haven't lived until you've pinned an old-style CA Drone box with 0.2mm wire, tendrils and all.

Cleaning flash and mold lines. - Check. I do find mold lines are really fine on Infinity models, certainly much better than old Citadel miniatures, which I'm used to. Flash is another story.
Scrub with brass brush? - This is new. Why? How fine should be the bristles? I need details.
Scrub with soap and water. - I give them more of a wash under warm water with soap, no scrubbing involved.
Score all the joints and glue. - Score? Does that mean rub it with a piece of rough sand paper? Check!

Country is Hungary, the rear end end of the EU. I don't order directly from CB, but I've been told by the local stores that they only place Infinity orders once a month, and this time its delayed because of CB having a holiday or something next week.

I use this brush. I had it for cleaning both my model and regular files. It's not necessary but I do it just to clean out the cracks and crevices. Yeah, I score with my knife but as long as the joints are getting roughed up. I'm real particular about cleaning my models but meanwhile my buddy uses a box cutter, doesn't wash them at all, and all his seem to be fine.
