My pre-order of Infinity 3rd Edition arrived a few days ago. I'd already picked up the free PDF of the rules from the Corvus Belli website, so I didn't quite vanish into a hole quite as much as I otherwise would have to digest the rules.
In short, I am amazingly excited about this - I'd been meaning to get into Infinity for a while, but the improved rules and Operation: Icestorm has meant that "at some point" has become "now". I am already signed up to attend Winter Challenge 2015 and the first Totally Crit Open. There seems to be a ton of excitement and enthusiasm on the Dark Sphere Facebook Group too.
I picked up Miranda Ashcroft here from eBay. She's had a kitbashed rifle slung under her arm - I'm hoping I can get it off and use some paint stripper so I can repaint her myself. I feel kind of guilty doing it, because the person painting her has clearly put a lot of effort in - but it's not the paint job I'd do, and I will be wanting her to fit in with the rest of my forces.
I have been wanting this Chaos Champion forever and a day, so was very pleased to get him in a trade after a failed eBay bid revealed the seller had a second one for sale. In practical terms I'm going to end up using him as an Inquisitor, stats wise, but is it just me, or does he look a bit like a Hrud? It's more than a little tempting to use him as one, somehow.
And finally, with Forge World announcing that they were running down their copies of the Tamurkhan book, I quickly ordered it. I'd been thinking for a while about running some Chaos Dwarves alongside my Warriors of Chaos, and with so few left, I jumped in and grabbed one.
At least it doesn't add to my painting backlog, right?
Awesome - always loved that champion, such a cool model. Can't wait to see him painted up!
ReplyDeleteSo many things to paint! Maybe I should have a little voting thing at some point for a bunch of the "ready to paint" stuff to decide what I do next?
