You might try asking in the main Ordo Blood Bowl forum, there may be some guys down there that have the set from the 2016 box unassembled.  I have the remnants of my second set still on the sprue, but they're kinda picked over as I did some converting.

I have one you can borrow while you track one down Sherbert, but I'm not looking to get rid of it.  It's assembled and primed, with numbers marked.

Hah, thanks guys!  I had a pretty great weekend of Infinity, and managed to bring home a sweet viking ale horn trophy for first place.

Dudes, Dark Tower now allows alcohol in the general gaming area, as of this week!  Rejoice, and cheers!

Christian - you and I should play a game!  I'll be around and don't have anything else scheduled.  Tranining game or league match?

Other games that are currently set up:

Brendan/Joey (as previously mentioned)

Danny/Nathan

Jim/Brad

What do you guys want to play tonight?  Power Pack and Transmission Matrix are both on my agenda to practice for Rose City.  Since I'm playing Nomads I guess I'll be nice and not push for TransMatrix... so how about Power Pack?

I'm back to playing with my warm fuzzy space anarchist conglomerate.

Damn, I was really excited to jump in on this game with you all. I LOVE Terraforming Mars. But a 6:30 start time is gonna be late for me this evening. I have to get up at 4:00 am to make a journey to the Kitsap Peninsula the next morning, so the smart thing for me to do would be to go home early for a change. @Khail thanks for including me in the game, but I have to bow out. Maybe another time.

 

Bummer!  I remembered you usually had an early wake up call so I figured I'd make sure.  Another time man!

curious to know what expansions you guys are using?

ive played with all of em and wanted to know others impressions.

Probably just Prelude - it is by far my favorite.  The alternate maps are also good but we'll stick to the main one with a new player.

I own colonies but haven't tried it yet.  Venus just seem to bog the game way down.

Sounds like Nathan is in as well, so if Bobby is good, that fills us up with 5.  @Kalahanarama 6:30PM start time work for you tonight?  Nathan hasn't played before, so it'll probably be a longer game.

Timeline work out OK for you Bobby?  We probably won't start until 6:30 or so tonight.  If so, sounds good!

Sounds good Jim!  Worst case if we can't find anyone else, 3 plays comfortably.

I am also terrible at the game, but it's fun.

Would love to get a game of Terraforming Mars going tonight if we can get 4-5 people.  Sounds like Joey and I are onboard so far - Brendan/Brad/Jim?

Standard game size is 300 points/6 SWC.  The official Army Builder for Infinity is actually really good these days (like, other game companies need to take a serious look at how well it's executed and kept updated).  Link: https://army.infinitythegame.com/.  There's an official Android app as well, but nothing on IOS yet (though the mobile site is quite good).

The rules wiki is also a fantastic resource and is kept up to date with each new rules update.  Link: http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Main_Page

*note that clicking on skills and stuff in the Army Builder links you directly to the wiki. 

We pretty much play ITS (the official tourney system) scenarios/rules for pick up games/etc.  There's a few modifications each season to the regular rules.  Currently Medium Infantry get Forward Deployment Level 1 for free, drop troops don't need to use the blast template for placement when dropping, and TAGs get Fatality Level 1 for free.  That more or less covers it.  The full ITS rules are here: https://assets.infinitythegame.net/downloads/itsrules/season10/en/v1.0/season10.pdf.  If you're looking for an easier to digest version of the scenarios, check out the app Comlog.  Pretty much everyone that plays Infinity uses it nowadays, and it's expected to be used in tourneys (so glad I don't have to print out a ton of pages of missions that will just get tossed in the trash at the end of the day).

I run a tourney every other month (next one will be 5/26), alternating with the Canadians.  We'll probably also do either an Escalation League or some type of Campaign in the near future.  @Wiccus will likely organize once school calms down a bit, or I'll step up if he's too busy.

I"m Andy btw, nice to meet you!  If you have any questions or want to BS about the state of the meta/etc, feel free to hit me up.  We also have a FB group that gets used for setting up games/chatting about upcoming events/etc, if you use the book of faces: https://www.facebook.com/groups/311125849638839/

Hey guys - I'm bringing by Aristeia! tonight if you want to check it out - happy to run demos or teaching games.  I know Joey was interested.  I'll also have my Infinity with me.

If you don't know what Aristeia! is, it's Corvus Belli's sci-fi arena combat game.  Set in the Infinity universe pre-EI Invasion.  It's played on a hex board and is a bit difficult to describe - it shares more in common with Blood Bow or Guild Ball than Infinity.  The rules and mechanics are very tight, which is a nice change from Infinity's somewhat fuzzy and layered rules.

Anyway, if you're interested in checking it out - hit me up tonight!

I know that George, Joe, and I believe John from Fate & Fury are going to be there.

Oh I know - they got bit by the same bug I did when we went the first time.  It'd have to be a pretty dire (ha!) situation for me to miss it.  There's a reason why we all keep making the trip every year 😉

Ahh - gotcha.  You guys really need to make the trip sometime.  It's a gaming/social (honestly mostly social) experience like no other!

Some of you guys making it to RR66 this year?!

You know it!

Mine were made by thestudio.com.  No complaints, relatively cheap - took about 5 weeks though, so don't expect speed.

Hey guys, we've got another Infinity tourney coming up at Dark Tower!

Hope to see you there!

6-7PM end, yup.  See you there!

Hey Folks,

Just making sure the word is spread - we've got another Infinity tournament coming up at Dark Tower this Sunday 11/25.  The last one we had 10 players for, which is pretty fantastic for a first go.  If any of you can make it, I'd love to have you there!  We should again have a couple of Canadians coming down, a couple of Seattle-ites coming up, and as many locals as I can wrangle.  I guarantee it will be a good time!

Man, what a weekend.  Thanks for all the pics Raindog, and congrats on 4th!  Having you guys up for this was fantastic, thanks to the Ordo crew for coming up and kicking ass!

Yeah, looking forward to reading through the book.  I picked it up today (on RPGNow) - just need to find time.
