I am getting a friend into Infinity with me. He likes Ariadna, is the Ariadna Starter, Tankhunters blister, and the Veteran Kazak with the AP HMG blister a good starting point?

That's a pretty great start, yeah.

Seriously, look at this guy. Shameful.

Saw a bunch of posts and thought new models had been released. Was pleasantly surprised to find some awesome discussions instead. :shobon:

Due to school I haven't painted anything in over a month, even with the HMG Vet. Kazak staring at me from my desk. Soon, buddy.

Sooooo any reason you would ever take the Rifle over the T2?

He'll look even more rad once he's given a layer of dullcote. Only question now is what to paint next, and the Autocannon Tankhunter is probably due.

EDIT: Went ahead and assembled him. The little bar piece was annoying to fix; I don't see how you PanO andNomad players put up with a million of those per model.

Would I be lying if I described this game as MOBA-esque to my LoL-loving friends? Infinity seems to have a lower entry cost than Hordes, so it'd probably be more likely that I could convince them to give this a shot.

Wow, that really does work very well. It is transformed from an example of one-hand-under-the-desk sculpting to merely a slightly duff pose. Nice job.

Thanks. :) But yeah, not only is she the sole member not wearing her jacket, but her body armor only covers her tits. As opposed to, y'know, her other internal organs.

That said, the dark grey mutes that, uh, arrangement.

No idea on Kazaks, but a few posts up someone posted stills from a presentation where they were showing off new model artwork, including Ariadnan Spetznas Paratroopers. :ussr:

No it's not. 5 minutes wasted to say "don't get fixated on destroying the enemy when you have objectives to do".

Not entirely disagreeing, but there's merit in just telling people that and showing a new player with a visual aid what that means, exactly. In that sense, there's value in the dude's video.

Fast Pandas are MOV20. LOL (it's a typo from Spanish version translation, theyre MOV8 I think).

Spetsnaz have a 20 CC :stare: I haven't played Infinity in a long time due to school, but looking at their costs, what sort of role do you see them taking?
