spoo53 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hello All, Well I've decided to make the plunge into Infinity. I've always been intrigued but the models and game play. Then after going to this years OFCC and seeing all of the awesome tables and painted models I said to hell with it and ordered a few models. After looking through all the different factions I finally landed on Nomads. The look, fluff and models just appealed to me the most. The list below is the models I actually bought for a 200 pt list and what I am thinking about adding at a later date for 300. When I actually get them put together I'll probably post them here and make this a painting log. Anyway any thoughts or advice you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nate Nomads: What I have.

Raindog Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Since Infinity is an resource management game, you may wish to consider a few cheap units like Alguaciles or Moderators to pump orders into the Geckos and shenanigan pieces like the Prowlers and Zeros. Your range bands are covered, but you are lacking a Lieutenant. Tomcats are great pieces, especially Doctors and Engineers, but three may be too many since you cannot use their orders in the pool until they land. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yea what RD said is right on. You can generally play pretty close to what you like in infinity but orders is the one serious limitation. look up some suggestions on how to make lists online. Generally speaking you want to have 8 plus orders in a primary group and if you do 2 groups I think 4 is kind of a minimum for an effective second group. As a beginner and playing the pieces it seems you like I'd shoot for a 10 order list. Try and have a few specialists(4 at least) too to get use to ITS mission style lists. As RD said you will need some order feeders for those boss pieces. Add some jaguars(personally my fave), aguaciles or moderators to feed orders. You can also use one prowler as a specialist operative with combi lft and adhesive. Love that profile! But yea you need to add some line troopers and once you play it will make sense why! Go to the infinity forums and read about some of the basics people post on there about list building which is pretty helpful! Play with it a bit on army and have fun. Welcome btw! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoo53 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks for the advice! looking at the different units and starting to read some of the rules, i see where i was short. I decided that i'll probably pick one of the starter packs to fill my line infantry slots. (probably were i should have started, but I kind of went buy crazy. oops.

spoo53 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wow! Finally got my first infinity models in. They are no joke to paint! Fun though, they really challenge my skill.

spoo53 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hello everyone! Just got finished painting up my Spektr. On the rifle I tired going for an Urban camo theme, I think it turned out alright. I might go back and change it up, thoughts? So now comes the tricky part, do I work on a pair of Wild Cats or a Gecko TAG? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Save the TAG as a reward for finishing other stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I like it! Nice take on the Red/White/Blue! Good work on the bases too. Also, Spektr proves you've got "the hang of these guys". I'm happy to offer you a friendly noob game down at WOW some sunday(soon!). The guys down there have been great with coaching and helping to understand the layers of flavor to the gameplay. Come on down!

spoo53 Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Thanks! I just kind of just wing it on the colors most of the time! the bases I picked up some a while back and finally found a use for them. They're resin, but I'm not sure what company makes them. which kind of sucks because I don't have any in the size that'll fit the geckos. As for the game, I appreciate the offer, but unfortunately I'm not in the area and I'm pretty much just stuck painting models for the next couple of months. But I for sure know where to go next time I find myself in your neck of the woods!. Oh I'll also be working on Hell Cats not Wild Cats. I got confused, kind get the feeling Nomads are like the crazy cat people of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoo53 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks I was really happy how the skull helmet turned out. I thought it looked odd with just the two eyes on the one side so I decided to add a little something. here are some more picture of the Hell Cats the uploader was being weird. Also here Is the Squad all together so far. And now stay tune where I get to work on my TAG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoo53 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hello Again! I hope everyone's Holidays were a good one! Over the last week I didn't have much of anywhere to go so I started knocking out one of my Gecko TAGs. I must say that its been a hot minute since ive put over 4-5 hours probably more into just one model, but I think the time and effort were very much worth it! I don't think he's 100% done yet. there are a few areas i'll need to go back and touch up here and there, but I wanted to share him anyway. As always let me know what you think! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoo53 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hello everyone. Here are a few more Nomads I've finished up. A different take on a Prowler and an Intruder. Let me know what you think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoo53 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks guys! So i'm thinking about spending my time at OFCC playing Infinity instead of 40k. (pending if my schedule is clear, and i find a team) Playing around with list, i really want to bring my Gecko. I know its a huge point skin but its way too cool not to bring. So here is the list I would potentially bring out of OFCC. What do you think?

Raindog Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Seven orders is pretty slim. Is there a possibility of dropping the Prowler for some cheaper models like Alguciales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'd consider dropping the Intruder as your lieutenant. They make for a great, survivable LT, but it's a lot points on a model that might do nothing all game but hide and try to stay safe. This is what I would change: Nomads ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 9 INTRUDER HMG, Grenades / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 42) VORTEX Spec-Ops (4 XP) (Doctor, Hacking Device) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) WILDCAT Engineer Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 23) WILDCAT Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 19) WILDCAT Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 19) GECKO Mk12, Chain-colt, Blitzen / . (0.5 | 54) GECKO PILOT 2 Assault Pistols, Knife. (0) ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) ALGUACIL (Forward Observer, Deployable Repeater) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) ALGUACIL Lieutenant Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 10) 3 SWC | 199 Points Open in Infinity Army You lose the prowler in exchange for the HMG intruder, but that gives you a high-powered shooter and access to MSV2 on a non-LT model. Also you get to squeeze in a few extra orders, and get access to an FO which might help with possible checklist items. Just my 2 cents!

Exile Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Evan's list could also be run under Corregidor, giving you access to linkteams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoo53 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 That Makes sense! just means i have a few more models to Paint! :D I'll have to play around some and see if how it goes. I could also switch out the Intruder for any of the other specialize models like a Spektr of Prowler maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
