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!

Infinity Hunger Games Showdown!

Wow, time flies when you hit the last couple of weeks of school. Well I'm back and with a vengeance!

Remember last post I told you all about the hunger games I participated in... well there was so much action in the game that it lead to so many memorable events and I'm here to show them to you in the form of a showdown! All the fun events that took place were basically 1v1 fights. So let's get the party started!

Run Achilles, run!

I just want us to be friends.

Go shove that friendship up your sepsitor!

The game started off great for Achilles... running from a sepsitor happy Skiavoros! The rules for the first round was that all weapons were offline so basically it was a maneuvering round. This lead to the Skia going after a juicy target, Achilles. The Skiavoros shuffled his way towards Achilles position behind a building but his 4-2 MOV was against him and had to stop in the ally leading to the back of the building where Achilles was. Luckily for Achilles there was another ally leading away from the Skia and he took off like a bullet away from the Skia. It looks like the Skia will have to find another person to befriend next round...

Shall we be frie.... uuuuhhhh!

Boo!

Shall we be friends? 

Now the the combat turn begins... the Yu Jing player (Thunderpup) decided to make a false alliance with the CA player (Zachilles) and it turned out to be a bad idea for the CA player. The Yu Jing player was down to his last troop and the Skia was looking like a juicy target for his TO marker to get up close and personal with. Well it turned out to be Saito Togan popping out of TO! The first attack by Saito caused one wound on the Skia and the next attack by Saito was meet with a sepsitor after Saito got his hit in CC. The Skia made the armor save but the Skia failed the sepstior attack. Last attack by Saito ended the friendly Skia's friendship run.

Still here!

Hehe, I think I forgot about this blog. Nah, I kid. I've been busy with school as of late and it's caused me to have a big lack of Infinity as of late. I did get in a fun multiplier game though at the end of November. It was called Infinity: Hunger Games.

Basically you got the option of bringing 3 models max at 75 pts and 1.5 SWC. I choose to run with the new Achilles profile (ARM 5) with his trusty Heavy Shotgun. It turned out that he was a crit magnet that game. He got critted by a Lasiq. Had his hair and ODD burned off by a Chassuer twice! Then not wanting to live without any hair he let a Riot Grrl crit him on a 6... he did kill Yu Jing Monk at the end of the day.

I had a great time and the events that took place in that game were beyond funny.

Hammer time!

Did I say it's a great time to be an Aleph player last post... well here's another reason it just got even better. Just take a look at this beast! The armor, the face, the fucking hammer! Oh and did I mention his stats too?

AJAX 2 Combi Rifles, Nanopulser / Pistol, EXP CCW (43 | 0.5)
MOV:4-4 CC:18 BS:13 PH:16 WIP:12 ARM:5 BTS:-6 W:2 
Regular, Impetuous, Cube 2.0, Fireteam: Enomotarchos
Berserk, Natural Born Warrior, V: No Wound Incapacitation

He might not have a long range threat but if you incounter him in a room or ally you can count yourself as already dead. The beast (he's no man) is hitting you with CC 27 (Berserk FTW) with a EXP CCW and CC units won't be getting close to engage him either thanks to NBW. So Fidays, Oniwabans (Shinobu included), Speculo Killers, all the hero/TAG killers you better hit him and hope he dies because he'll turn you into a red stain on the wall. Now if he shoots he's sending 4 combi shots down range as well. It's like a Spitfire with less damage and range...

Now I don't suggest you make him hunt for camo or be your Lt. He's got the same WIP that a PanO Fusilier does.

Angel Giraldez's Picture and Model

Steel Phalanx!

I'll keep this post short and pretty.

Wow. It's a really great time to be a Aleph player! Just take a look at this set and these badass greeks.

So what do we get here:

Eudoro: The character of the set that seems to be projecting Arnold. Cool thing about him is he comes with the ability called Number 2. That means if the link leader goes down he automatically becomes the link leader. It's like CoC for link teams. Also add on a Mk12! Finally some hitting power for Aleph.

Thorakitia: These are the SP's grunts. However there not LI there MI with ARM 3 and they're cheap! However they a MOV of 4-2, Frenzy, and are the first Aleph troops not to have any form of Courage. They do come with 360 visors and flash grenades on almost every load out though. The set includes ones with a chainrifle/smg, Combi rifle, and a LRL.

Agema: Chest bump! The Agema brings the pain with the ML and a MSV2. Smoke tricks anyone? This is the first time Aleph really has any armor killing power that's not a TAG.

Myrmidon Hacker: Not much to explain more then it's a Myrm hacker.

Shit just hit the fan!

Well our Spanish boys across the pond got their Campaign book and it got so much goodies I'm literally lost will all the new info pouring into this one thread on the international forum: http://www.infinitythegame.com…..38;page=17

Still here!

I haven't gone any where peeps! Been really slow on the playing front for me. I think my last game was 3 weeks ago... to long ago man.

Anyways, I'll be bringing some Campaign Paradiso stuff in the coming days. You've all probably seen it already but I'll still post it anyways...
