Infinity Music

I've been thinking about what kind of music would go well with Infinity. Bascially music that would get you in the mood to paint a Infinity figure or write a fan fic piece with a bunch of action. I've just complied a list of music that I think works for Infinity. None of these are in a particular order.

1. GITS Soundtrack

2.Nine Inch Nails: Ghosts

3. Cristobal Tapia De Veer: Primal Shout

4. Cyptex: Breaker

5. Dredd Soundtrack (here's a piece).

6. Massive Attack: Mezzanine

I have a bunch more but I think these will keep some of you occupied.

Well the time of the Morat Aggression Force has started!

So about 2 weeks ago I found a guy in the state I lived in that wanted to part ways with some Morat models. I decided to take the Yaogat box and the Sogarat he had. I picked them up last week and by whatevers name the Sogarat is a big mofo! I can't wait to actually use him as a Sogarat on the tabletop. This has changed up my buying list a little but now and it's pretty much changed to this:

Yaogat Sniper
Kurgat Autocannon
Kurgat Mk12

Anyways I started up a Combat Log for my MAF force and you can hop over to and check out my progress with my MAF force (shaky start)

Just a short and quick post. I'm planning to have one more post up this week to compensate for the one I missed last week.

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!

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.
