This image is a repost but I am looking for game specific feedback.

This is one of my lasercut building floors,


Here is a shot with more floors, they all lift off each other for easy access. and obviously Im not done painting them.


Should work well enough for Infinity right?
I know I've shown them before in their fresh cut state but I want to make sure the design is good before I call it done.

Also any thoughts on color scheme would be great, the one with off-white paneling is the direction I am planning to go with all of them.

You might consider adding window lintels and ledges to give them a little more depth, but I wouldn't say you have to add them.

Colours aren't fluro enough. You can never have too much fluro in Infinity. Get some lime green, sky blue or hot pink on it. Preferably all three :v:
The buildings look good, but I was semi-serious about the paint thing. I feel the buildings could do with a brighter/lighter palette to fit the normal Infinity aesthetic, but that's just the opinion of a random internet nerd who has no idea what sort of paint scheme you have for your models or other terrain, so this could very well be fitting with what you have for all I know.

In other news, I just moved to Perth (the one in Australia, not Scotland) and it turns out my housemate is the English editor for Infinity. No, he won't tell me any spoilers (I asked him already).

Spoilers be damned, get him to talk to CB headquarters and have them support the oath thread again!

Stolen from the Infinity Forums


This thread could be titled as: "How to make a balanced table for Infinity" or "How much terrain do I need for Infinity".

Infinity is a Sci Fi Skirmish game usually played in 4x4 boards. The usual 10-16 miniatures face each other using guns and rifles, close combat happens but it is not the usual way to defeat your enemy.

Sniper rifles and HMGs have great distance modifiers, in order to make battles more interesting you will need terrain, terrain that blocks lines of fire.

This is an Empty Board. An Infinity battle in this board wouldn't be very interesting.



Snipers and HMGs will probably become killing machines and the rest of the troops would probably die without any significative role in the battle.

This would be an Open Ground Board. It has just a few pieces of terrain. Big enough to block line of fire.



With 8 pieces of terrain you can have a decent battle. I would say that the minimum height required would be like 4 inches, enough to hide a normal miniature from any attack.

The we have a properly dense table here:



The thing with this table is that it is very symmetric and that is not interesting. If the table has a symmetric display of terrain, the decission between having the first turn or choosing where to deploy have not the same tactical value.
Your enemy will probably have a deployment area as good as yours, that is not cool.

So this non-symmetric board would be a very interesting Infinity table:



Look at the red zone, it has a Sniper Tower, more density of terrain, more buildings or your troops to have cover and defend your area.
The blue zone has some big empty spaces there, if their impetuous troops try to advance, they will be easily exposed to your lines of fire.
Choosing between having the first turn or deploying in the red zone are now both good tactical decissions, that is cool.

As an Infinity veteran player, I would recommend to think about these images when making your Infinity board.

Of course you can use anything as terrain, even the Infinity boxes or cereal cardboard boxes, whatever. The looks of the table depend of how much time and how much money are you willing to spend on it.

And if you can stomach Beasts of War this video is useful.

It's hilarious how on the infinity forums in the USAriadna thread the guys are constantly asking for USAriadna to be come kind of "hoo-ah" impressive force with great equipment and weapons, stetson hats, dusters and higher tech than the rest of Ariadna. It's constantly pointed out that the US is no longer top dog and the best there is militarily, but there are some guys who just keep on wanting to be the best in the game, while being in the lowest tech faction there is.

If you aren't playing Ariadna for the Russian bad asses, the insane Scots, and the French wolf men; I think you might be better off playing Ambush Alley.

Warhammer 40k he played eldar and had tendency towards vehicles and/or heavy weapons a lot. OverPowered special characters were always an interest as well.

Is there a definitive set of measurements for the s1-s8 silhouettes? I know they have printable templates and there are retail versions, but if I'm making my own what sizes are they, does this sizing include the height of the models base?


I found this:

http://www.data-sphere.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2236

S5: Big Guys, 40 mm wide and roughly 45 mm tall S3: Remotes, 40 mm wide and roughly 30 mm tall
S6: Mini TAGs, 40 mm wide and roughly 50 mm tall
S7: TAGs, 55 mm wide and roughly 66 mm tall S4: Combat Remotes, 55 mm wide and roughly 30 mm tall
S2: Humans, 25 mm wide and roughly 36 mm tall S1: Servants, 25 mm wide and roughly 24 mm tall

But wanted a more authoritative resource before I made them.
