Can't let Germ have the only representation from our shop. Here's my Infinity table.









Oh and hey I found a pic of that Dystopian Wars vinyl sea chart map.



I'd forgotten that the cat threw up on it.

Edit: Oh, and there was this thing.

I tried to document the process as best I could, yeah.

The progress thread on the official Infinity forums is here.

I played a game on it tonight, in fact. The thing has taken a real beating over the last year. I need to give it a little TLC.

That was my concern when you gave that thing away. I'd be so annoyed at looking at the damage some inconsiderate dolt did to my hard work.

Nah, poo poo just happens. There's just so much wear that foam core can take is all, and people have got to move stuff around on it to draw LOS and such. It was made to be partially disassembled so you can move stuff around in there. It'd have happened whether it was in my office or at the store. Probably worse if it were in my house, because I'd be trying to scoot around it every day or my kids would have torn it to pieces.

Linoleum isn't heavy at all. It' super thin. It's meant to be glued down to floorboard. The problem I've had with the stuff in the past is the repetition of the pattern, that it is generally pretty glossy, and that you need to do something about the backing, like glue it onto a square of felt or something that won't spin or slide, and that won't necessarily keep the stuff from curling up.

Maybe the answer is just sticking it to squares of mdf and matte coating it/drybrushing it a bit.

Are you sure we're talking about the same material?

They make both smooth and textured, so I don't see why not.

can you elaborate more on the process? It looks like you have a vacuum setup with the wires and what not

Two questions for y'all:

1) What would you use to represent terrain that provided cover, but did not impede movement? Field of grass? Fog bank? Other suggestions?

See, when you were talking about it last night comparing it to the floating rocks we've got there at the store, I was thinking some kind of floating gas bladder plants. You probably wouldn't have flat cover against everything small and on ground level, but the further out you go, the more cover they give, and they'd definitely be covering a good chunk of vehicles, and you could still place minis around the ground tethers.

Huh, I just realized that google lets you "see inside" my local gamestore. If you go in the back room you can look around at some of the tables. Fix's epic Infinity board is back there, as well as 3 of my Malifaux boards (the graveyard, the red rock mesas, and the sewer. Won't be long before I can walk in random neighbor's houses in google.

I got a bunch of laser cut kits, and this one I'm assembling now has got all this interior detail stuff going on and I'm trying to figure out how best to assemble this kit and I have to ask those who have put this sort of thing together: Paint first, then glue? Because there's no way I'm going to be able to rattlecan/airbrush this thing, let alone brush paint anything in here once it's put together, but I'm worried that the mere act of priming it will render it unglueable. Mollify me, please.

You know what I mean. I don't want fragile joins. I'm wondering whether it's the sort of thing where people mask before they paint or do like you say and sand or something. Seems that this stuff is cut so precise that sanding is not necessarily the best way to go.

That is a REALLY nice kit, please take photos / make a tutorial while painting, id love to see how you do it.

I'm just glad they actually posted instructions for this one, since they weren't in the package and their other kits are just big 3d jigsaw puzzles. This one has got all kinds of crazy detail going on.
