Time to set aside Aleph...

Well after 2 years of playing Aleph I think it's time for a change in faction. I've played every unit in Aleph save the support remotes and all of SP expect for Diomedes, Ekdromos, and Thamyris and they have all been a joy to play but I think it's time to switch from the dagger to the hammer.

I have been dabbling in MAF as of late but it's about 90% Aleph and 10% MAF for play time and I think it's time for 90% MAF and 10% Aleph. I'll be putting in an order for some space monkeys this week and I have  a budget of $50 and I think I settled on this from the Warstore.

Sogarat w/HMG
Suryat w/HMG
Kurgat w/Mk12
Kurgat w/Autocannon

My Rasyat is going to be happy that he won't be the only Morat surrounded by my Aleph anymore...

I'll be adding to my MAF over the coming months.

Now to the end of this post a little poem I made up on the spot for my transition into MAF from Aleph:

Aleph you have served me well
You have died and killed countless enemies for me
However it is time to move on
Now I replace my dagger with a hammer
The hammer is that of the forces of the Morat Aggression Force
The Rasyats will drop down from the heavens
They will deliver their diplomatic speeches in the force of high velocity bullets, literally
The Sogarats, Suryats, Yaogats, and Raichos will pump the enemy full of lead and dread
The Kurgats will be the badass engineers that will supply enough explosions that it will make Arianda jealous
The Daturazi will charge the enemy lines without a care
They will spray them with hot lead and rip them limb from limb
The Zerats will harass the enemy to no end and show they can be deadly infiltrators
The Oznat will command her pack of Gaki and Preta with deadly precision
The Vanguards will forever be the true line troops of the Morat Aggression Force
The ever trusty Raktorak will show you why he's the most badass butler in the universe
Kornak will command his troops in a fashion that it will leave the enemy broken and hoping for a quick death

Ewwww... bugs.

I thought I would share this on my blog: A Painting Contest! It's not my own personal one but one being held over on the main Infinity forum. Now what does it involve? Well... lots of bugs or if I'm being politically correct, Exrah. Now I won't bore you over with to many details on these badass bug-men but I can tell you they serve in the Combined Army, they operate most of it's interstellar fleet, they also provide troops from them as well from the ship to ship fighters known as the Void Operators, the Commandos that try to sell you guns in the Vector Operators, to the hop scotch Iskaller Jump Operator, and the flying TAG known as the Caskuda.

Now if you have some painting skills and a Exrah model I would suggest you join in on the fun. No painting skills, or a Exrah model, or just to lazy to do it? No problem! You can always sit back and enjoy the fun as well.

Guess who got 3rd at a local ITS Tourney this past Saturday...

I played at a ITS Tourney down here in Colorado this Saturday and ended up in 3rd place (my best placing since starting Infinity). It was a great tourney with a bunch of great people and great terrain. The brake down faction wise was Aleph 4 (1 SP), CA 1, Nomads 1, Yu Jing 1, Haqqislam 2 (1 HB), PanO 0, Tohaa 0. Funny thing is that the top 3 places were Aleph as well.

The list I ran:

Achilles Spitfire Lt (80|2)

Deva Spitfire+MSV (34|1)

Deva (35|0.5)

Diomedes (44|0)

Myrmidon Spitfire (32|1)

Myrmidon Chain (16|0)

Proxy Mk.1 Doctor (14|0)

Proxy Mk.2 Sniper (29|1.5)

Netrod  (4|0)

Netrod (4|0)

Yudbot (3|0)

Yudbot (3|0)

298/300 points | 6/6 swc

MVPs: Diomedes/Myrmidon Spitfire

The Good: The 1st game went in my favor due to Diomedes killing almost everything. Diomedes saved the day in the 2nd game when he killed the Nomad Sallzy (after my Proxy Sniper brought it down to it's last wound). 

The Bad: Achilles didn't kill anything.

The Ugly: The last game. It was a trade off all game. I kill one guy, he kills one guy. I just got left in a position where I couldn't do anything in the last part of the game...

Oh and how about some pics of it all!
