Just looking for the fogless glue you used and to see where you got your discs. We've got a fab shop opening in town pretty soon, so your explanatory post was pretty much exactly what I needed.

The glue is a gel that you need to glop on and then wipe up what squeezes out of the sides. Plan on ruining your first 3-8 disks than you should be good. 3mm Plexiglas is entirely adequate but you can go thicker.

If you need any other tips feel free to ask.

So, what exactly is that glue? I'm doing some hex status tokens and will probably need that stuff.

Other than a gloopy gel glue called Aleene's Glass & Bead adhesive I can't really say. But it works great if you use it between a clear part and a printed part.

First question is what models do you like the looks of in the range, and then we can help you from there. Are you new to the game? Do you all ready have an army of another faction? Are you familiar with Haqq's play style?

Like the looks of? All of them except the Maghariba Guard and the Kameel Remotes; but if they play well I wouldn't avoid picking them up.

I am not totally new. I have loads of Ariadna and just got a pile of Pan-O from another goon.

These can be used to make these two completely separate secorial lists. And by completely separate I mean no model overlap so these two lists can play each other. So you can imagine the flexibility you have with these models to build a vanilla Haqqislam force.

-snip-

If you want more flexibility for a vanilla list get the Haqqislam Starter box or if you want something fun and flashy get the new Kum Bikers Box Set. Or you can paypal me the extra $43 as a finders fee. Let your conscience decide.

Am I the only one who actually really dislikes 'themed' dice where one of the symbols is a little hieroglyph? I always have to ask my opponents if it's the top or bottom score. I dunno, it just seems a bit simpler to use numbers. Obviously 'simple' is a weird thing to chase while playing a game with 3 rulebooks, but hey.

I agree. I don't hate them, but asking: "Is that a 6 or a 1?" seems to defeat the purpose of dice.

I posted this in the Infinity Forums and have gotten an OK response but I thought I'd ask here too.

There are two game stores in town, neither play Infinity and only one carries Infinity and their stock is shrinking as nobody plays so they don't restock.

What is the best way to go about starting game play? Are there any solid tutorials I can point to or use to tailor my demos? What has worked for you when you tried to start Infinity in your area?

What's wrong with the price? $65 for the only book(s) you'll need; no army books, no data slates. It isn't cheap, but it isn't criminal.

Can't really comment on the rules clarity though.

Its massively expensive compared to similar rule books. Wamrachine is £20 in softback RRP, Malifaux £28 rrp, Infinity 3rd edition is £50 rrp. Nice big coffee table style hardback historical rule books such as Black Powder or Bolt action (that might be softback) are only £25.
I get at this point it will be the only book you need (until the next book) but its still double the price of its competitors. I think it will put people off big time.

I guess you are right. Having just shed GW as my primary table top war game, any pricing seems reasonable.

But as stated above, you will still probably be able to get the rules for free online.

GW core rule books are like 80 bucks or so, and that is one of several books you need to buy to play the game. Model stats aren't free, and are often split over multiple books. 65 bucks once per edition is not even close to that. And as someone else said, you don't even need to buy it to play. It's a complete optional luxury, the equivalent of collectors editions of other games.

And don't forget, GW luxury editions are well above the $80 you mentioned.

So I JUST recently started playing Infinity and I am seriously digging it. I went with the Morat Aggression starter because I think the models are glorious.

My question for you vets may be difficult to answer really, but here goes. I love the new morat models, and I think a lot of the old ones really suck in comparison. I'm expanding my collection via the new line of morats first, but there are a lot of units I'd like that aren't redone yet.

Based on your experience, would you say any of the older models are going to be redone in the near future? I guess what I'm trying to decide is whether to
A - wait it out a few months since some people seem to assume they're all getting redone
B - just buy all the old models now because it's going to be a really long time before they get new minis
C - shut up and start collecting vanilla CA or some other faction

Proxy until the new models drop. If you wait you could be waiting months.

Would Saga fit the bill? It's not really fantasy, but the "powers" that the battle boards give you aren't really historical either.

Anglo Saxons
Vikings
Irish

Battle Report

I have a set of Normans and Vikings that my group scaled down to 6mm for cost savings and transportability. You can go 6mm, 10mm or the standard 28mm. 28mm isn't bad as you can get lots of plastic historical kits for cheap and your army will typically top out at 25-35 minis for 4 point games and 30-45 minis for 6 point games.

Some pics of my 6mm Normans (which I have since completed).

10 Crossbowmen
10 Spearmen
10 Archers
11 Cavalry
1 Long house
4 Pit houses

I have scaled the system from inches to centimeters for sake of expediency. The typical playing area is 48"x36" which for me would be 48cmX36cm.



I opted to go for a slightly larger board because I could.

To measure distance for movement and shooting I made this

Very short=2cm Short=4cm Medium=6cm Long=12cm

Foot troops move medium

So they can't reach these mounted troops

Cavalry move Long

So they can easily reach the spearmen.

Dirt Worshipper has a Viking force at 28mm.


Just a suggestion.
