To Infinity with High hopes

Nope, not dead. I just had a falling out with this hobby, more specifically Games workshop and their underhanded business tactics. I'm talking about announcing they will not raise prices this year on miniatures and then pretending people will not notice when they reprice existing lines with each new codex release.

But enough of that, I'm back in the hobby and have fallen head over heals in love with Infinity and how it plays. If you have never looked at this game I recommend you head over to infinity the game download the free rules, throw together a 150 point army using the Free army generator, proxy in some models and try a game or two with your friends.

So there are several things I love about this game:

The cost. The army I have listed below is a 200 point list and will cost $53 dollars Canadian, that is the same price it would cost me to field 5 Terminators in a Space marine army.
Availability of the Rules, they are free on the website, every army is updated with new units with each new expansion. So no waiting 4 years for a much needed update to keep playing your favorite army.
To start learning this game was surprisingly easy to do, Everything comes down to a face to face roll.
I'm never left waiting for my opponent to move his models, decide what to shoot. with Infinity you are always in the game, on your opponents turn you are reacting to their orders and they to yours.
Fast games, Once my Nemesis and I learn the game we can quite literally setup and play a game to completion on a lunch break here in the office.

So what don't I like?

The Rule book layout, the physical rule rooks are awkward and poorly designed for finding rules. Be ready to tab the pages.
Yea that is really it right now.

So whats next for me? Well painting a lot of painting, I'm working on finishing a few armies for warhammer, prepping for Adepticon, and lovingly laying paint to my Aleph miniatures (and looking for opportunities to convert them). Oh and I'm having a baby with my wife, my life is about to change for the better.
