MAF Starter Is Here!



It's been a long time but we finally have the MAF starter pack!

Every single mini is a winner in this pack. We got ourselves the Vanguard re-sculpts which are a vast improvement over the old ones (to be fair they were some of CBs first Infinity models). Then check out that Raktorak (the Light Flame Thrower is also a typo by the way as it's really a Heavy Flame Thrower),  the Oznat who will probably make any Morat's jaw hit the floor (plus the paint job is awesome on her, nice work Angel), then big and IMO the best model of the group, the Sogarat! Big, mean, and ready to blast you to chunky pieces with his Feuerbach.

We also had some other releases this week but who cares because the MAF starter is here ;)

Nah here's the whole line for those interested:

When you haven't played in a while...



Let's just say when you haven't played or done anything in a while you are not going to be the best at it. It's even worse when you play against people that have been actively doing it for the past couple of months.

I recently played in a 5 man tourney and I will give you a guess on where I finishes. It's start with a F... yeah I didn't do so well. You know how many objective points I scored through the whole tourney... 7.5 (even with a bye round), bleh. The games went like this:

Beacons: QK - 7 Aleph -2
Frontline: Bye
Annihilation: Nomads - 5 Aleph - 3

Now I will say I'm not really down about placing last because well it's a game. You win and you lose. Sometimes you come out big and sometimes you come out small. However I did come close to winning both my games until the last rounds... maybe I should stick with deployment instead of initiative.

Hopefully I'll improve on my competitive play next year. I guess I'll report my progress here on how I do next year as I plan to get more practice and tourneys in. I guess a goal would to try and grab a podium spot at Feast of Blades.

Alright, you heard it here first ladies and gents. I'm going to try and grab a podium spot at Feast of Blades in 2014. The adventure should be fun!
