Cheese and wine for days!

4 models slowly moving down the pipeline.

2 Metros with rifles
Moblot with AP rifle (Shock marksman Djanbazan)
Margot (light grenade launcher Grunt)

Also updating a few models to get them into the French spirit, just in time for Bastille Day.

Well get on it!   Just got my self set up for Friday-Sunday, readier than ever to get my face beaten into the ground by vicious monsters who call themselves friends!  

Seriously though, the sooner you get your tickets, the closer you get to achieving true happiness.  Also, it takes a load off the back of all the awesome folk who are managing these events for us.   So put off that phone bill, eat ramen for a few days, and put your money into something that matters!

Had a blast tonight playing with the Frenchies against Cody's Avatar list.  The new fire team rules for the French give them some flexibility and make for fun new combos.  Ran this list for supremacy:

I pulled out the win 6-2 just because I was able to spread out and claim quadrants.  I failed to get any antennas as the Avatar and q-drone held down all of the open spaces on the board, but fortunately between drop troops and chasseurs I was able to keep hidden in the nooks and crannies.  Cody was on fire and I could not break his Avatar down, ignoring it became the only option.   I had a good chance to take him out with Margot, but like a doof I put myself in a bad firing position and got creamed.   Good game, would do it again.

The new fire team options do breathe some life into the sectorial, but it's too bad that the line is being discontinued.

Played a great game against Pete and his StarCo list last night.   Mission was transmission matrix.

I brought pretty much the same list as last week with one Igao swapped out for a Clipsos.

I can't remember his tenth model, but you get the idea.  List has a lot of tricks rolled into a tight package.  

Here's just a basic overview of the game:
-Pete went first, started moving up the board, killed my data tracker and took out my sniper
-I took out Avicenna with an igao, took out the bandit with my clipsos, got the non CoC Kaeltar killed, and grabbed some antennas
-The pain train moved to the center of the board, got unlucky and my missile launcher managed to hold it's own against the B5 HMG
-Sukeul goes on a spree, takes out Pete's data tracker (Senior M) and the multi-rifle Brigada, moves back to defense
-Starco is in LoL, they kill the designated target and hunker down in position
-I take out the designated target and hold position on the antennas, game ends in a 7-1 win for Tohaa

Pete had an uphill battle from the get go, as having more orders in this mission gave me the ability to spread out on the antennas easier.   He still played the game well as always, but got a little too kill happy in turn two trying to take out the missile launcher.  He admit that he would have been better off smoking across the board and picking up the extra points for killing the designated target with his data tracker.   Always great to play against Pete, I never feel safe in his active turns!

I will be present. 🙂

You are a present to us all.

Just realized it was a 2 list event this year.  You expect me to paint more than the bare minimum of models?!?!   😄

Speaking of which... We need to have team talk. PM me or something.

Truth.  

Working on my Tohaa for OFCC.   If I can't get them done in time I have backup options, but it would be nice to have another fully painted army ready to roll.
 

Played Looting and Sabotage against Cody's CA last night.

I took first turn and made a b-line for the objective with my Sakiel, Kamael, and Makual triad.   They smoked their way up the table and in the last order managed to obliterate the box on the other side of the board.   Their kamikaze mission complete, they were rightly slaughtered in the bottom of the turn.   Cody spent some orders on his speculo attempting to take out my sniper, but lucky dice kept me alive and ended with him getting isolated by a symbiobomb.  I spent my next turn trying to cut orders out of the CA pool, sending in the first of the Igao to hunt down models.  I got a couple and put a wound on Kornak, but my desire for close combat ended with me losing a ftf before taking him out.  We exchanged blows for the next few turns, then Cody made a sick last-minute run on the objective in the bottom of three.  He managed to get 2 wounds on it before I could do anything, swinging the end total by 4 points.   I snuck out the win 6-3, but it could have been closer if luck had been on Cody's side.  

The future of military protective gear is...SHIN GARDS!

I love it though, just because it's Kazaks.   If TAK comes out before OFCC I'm bringing them for sure, and it it doesn't, I might go all Kazak anyway.

Neat.

I'm sick of not playing Infinity.   See you there this Sunday.

I really really really miss playing Infinity.   

^What he said.   Anyone who is looking to participate in this awesome event and needs a pair of awesome teammates please contact one of us.   We absolutely do have good taste in beer, and the other thing...that too.

Looks like a blast!

Hoping to make it this Sunday, I could use a safe area.   

Stats and options are out for the big guy.   Looks pretty awesome, and it can Harris with Domaru!
 

Content to call this guy done, next on the table are his brother and their handler.


Yeesh, the pics are bigger than I thought haha.

I'm scheduled for a 10 hour job that day, so I won't be able to make it.  But I miss going to your events, so be assured that you haven't seen the last of me!

Black Panther is rad, nuff said.  

I've been on a weird work schedule lately, so I've missed out on much Infinity.  Hopefully soon I'll be back into the swing of things, I need to throw some dice!

All I've done in the last week in put some details onto the bases of models, other than that I've been either too tired to working.   My goal is to set a reasonable pace, something like one model week just to keep the army going.

Picked up a pack of Igaos and some plants to adorn bases.   Off work tomorrow so I should find some time to paint.

A couple WIP pics:
