So…heeeeeyyyyy, it’s been a while right? Well, um, we have lives (not that I do anything with mine, but I’m sure everyone else does stuff with theirs). One doesn’t feel like blogging and probably needs to make a page on the book of faces/twitter or whatever to frequently hobby at the community.
Anyway here’s a quick post re: Infinity, the game as someone is getting in on some Pan-O action just as soon as I finish my exam this Friday and obtain the rules (or print out a copy at officeworks or similar). While I do have the nomads from 2013-14, I don’t want to kick off N3 with minis I had during my really horribad anxiety days. Starting fresh with a different faction is the way to go, according to the brain.
It’s like Australia, but in space.
Why do I want to start up infinity? To be quite honest I’ve been channeling GiTS for a while and having an alternative from steampunk/fantasy would be a welcome change. Don’t get me wrong, I love Malifaux as it’s an awesome system with neat minis (and wave 4 is gonna drop soon) but I don’t want to play it all the time. With the advent of Wave 9 in X-wing coming out with ARC-170’s, my little bro will be all over that game, so the future is bright in that regard. Back to Infinity, reiterating that I’m a fan of Ghost in the Shell and do love Sci-fi in general so as an alternative game, it should scratch the itch.
Cannot wait til my exam is done. Still gotta work, but damnit bring on next weekend.
So far, I’ve gotten the vanilla Pan-o set, with the slick new metals along with…
Finally, after about three years I bit the bullet and bought one of them. It’s a badger TC908 aspire or something- was on sale with 53% off so I bought that shit right there, as normally a decent compressor runs around $250. Once my exam is done, I’ll be whipping it out and spraying things and that came out wrong, didn’t it? Anyhow, it’ll probably be another three years before I get a light box and another three before I get a magnifying lamp.
What I want to do though with Pan-O is run the NeoTerra Capitaline sectorial list as the Neoterra Bolts look sweet as all hell and I get to use the Squalo in either vanilla Pan-O or in the NTC sectorial. I have a thing about mechs carrying grenade launchers. Squalo is on the way with bases, as I want to pin using the base tabs a go.
See these guys? They look awesome and I want them.
The plan thus far is to learn the basics/ins and outs of infinity with the vanilla set, then acquire the NTC starter, the bolts pack and the Hexa w/ sniper rifle. Might even get the Dire foes pack with Fusileer Bipandra in that, as she’s a decent medic, according to the Date Sphere. Plus sectorials = link teams, again according to the Data Sphere.
This time around I’ve found a bunch of communities nearby that play infinity (which I swear were not there back in 2013-4) so I’ll try to get games happening soon. Am keen as a bean to get some sci-fi happening.
Stay tuned to moar updates. Possibly. Maybe. No promises, ok?
