@Theo damn, do you often find $5 Infinity minis at the physical store? If there are more than a couple it could be worth the 2 hour drive..

Also thanks for sharing that sedition wars scenery pack unbox, that actually makes me stop and think about it. I still can't believe they keep dumping the box game on amazon for roughly 30 bucks, it may be restic but it's nice stuff!


If you ever want to try Deadzone I'll have to find some way to bring a set-up out there, it's pretty fun. Though.... I'd not say no to Infinity someday too

@girraffex, my o:I won't be here till probably mid month, there was a miscommunication from thewarstore
@cam, I'm still here, just not commenting as much, a little worn out of the gaming side right now.
@grimdork, I e got a set of Deadzone here, but I'd more than likely be up for infinity, just trying to find time is the pain.

Miniaturemarket always has some hems in the store from damaged shipping boxes(they don't send out damaged stuff) to stuff like the x-wing transports at 1/2 off because of a snapped off piece which is fixed easy with glue. I love stopping in there, I even pick up some L5R cards from the to time that are on clearance cause I love me some samurai artwork.

They have about 5-6 other infinity minis in there for $5.00 and another character one for $10.00(she's missing an arm though, but I could send a message to try and get a replacement arm for her.) I might pick them up and try and trade them for other models as they aren't in the armies I'm Interested in.

Local to MM makes you a lucky man Theo.

Yeah lol I'm jealous. I may have to make a pilgrimage up there though, it's only a couple of hours. And I'm a sucker for bargain bins etc.

That's quite the haul, Theo. You're going to have to build quite a few corridors for all those doors.

That Sedition Wars terrain set is the best isn't it? Like Dr H said though, I have no idea what to do with all the doors...

I saw a small box of SW accessories at GenCon- mostly clear plastic terminal screens and such. That stuff looks great!

@shaso, it's not as good of a deal as you think since it's so close. I have to pay sales tax (around 8%), so the warstore winds up cheaper in bulk(just have to get passed the savings lost from the shipping cost.
@grimdork, I'll swing back by there soon to see what else they have cheap infinity wise, but I think it was 3 copies of a Haqqislam character, and a copy of an Adriana character, and the $10.00 one was penthouse girl(don't remember her real name, but very similar ) on bike, but missing an arm
@Dr.h, my board will be a tribute to Les Nessman from WKRP in Cincinnati , doors, but only tape on the floors for imaginary walls that everyone must respect.
@commander Cain, yes, and they are plastic too , not quite enough of the narrow doors for space hulk, but I think the big ones could go on the tiles there too.
@dsteingass, yes another brilliant thing done by Mcvey studios , all the clear miniature for the kickstarter, and not for general sale afterwards. Plus the items people would buy (the clear ones) the retail stores won't touch because they changed materials between wave one and two which caused shrinkage and poor casts so the cool stuff is so overlooked.

Well I stopped by the other FLGS yesterday on my way to work , I need to be nonstop between my door and destination to save money. They recently got in a case of the rulebook for infinity (2nd edition) and starter boxes for the armies. They had a guy demo the game one day but I could only look for a minute, and he wasn't very interested in trying to hook anyone looking. Seriously there were 3-4 others who stopped at the table for a minute or two to see what was happening and he just ignored them as well. and yes he was there to demo the game, not just teaching a buddy to play. I didn't get why they bothered to get the rules in as the new edition goes preorder next Monday from my understanding, yes I'll be ordering.

Well they also had a sad lonely infinity figure sitting on the shelf, and I couldn't leave him there surrounded by all that gw gak.

He just got assembled and primed this morning.
I keep calling him obi-wan instead of oniwaban , but there's so many figures in the line with names that can clearly have easy alternates. It reminds me of the good old days of gw where they had fun with character names. Like mag urk thrakka (Margaret thacher ) and I just saw a few weeks ago Vulkan He'stan (he's tan) referring to the fact that all the salamanders are dark skinned how did I miss that for years.

Anyway off to church to do more fun cleaning today......might stop by MM on the trip home.

Wow thanks for blowing my mind shortly after my morning coffee... he's tan... wow....

We shall have to have dueling Oniwaban then, for I will be painting one myself for a diorama.

I wish the no-where-near-local gamestores had things in them I would consider buying, but even their bargain bins have come up pretty lame lately.

Sounds pretty lame about that demo, kind of missing the point there eh?


Penthesilea, btw, Amazon Queen and daughter of Ares. AKA penthouse, penny, and so on

@grimdork, hes'tan was a mat ward creation too

Well this was posted over in news and rumors, I'm bringing it here to try and entice those Necromunda players still following here to look forward to infinity. The preview of the new rules book and special authorized bounty hunter figure.

I suggested that people convert him to be carrying a six pack of beer in his hand as the pouches around his waist makes him look like he's packed a few of those away over the years. He's looking rather badass to me, and people are thinking of actually doing the conversion for Gencon next year, the prize of a drink was put forth by another player . I might have to finally attend , then pass the drink to one of you incorrigible L.O.E.R. .

Theo, it's just the convenience of being able to get the stuff you want right there, and not have to wait for the box to arrive, I miss that here in the Hollers of WV, I have to pretty much ship in everything, just have Wal-Mart and Kroger here, not too much else

@shasho, it's too conveinient , and then there's like five flgs around me too, and a dozen of more in St. Louis that aren't too far away. But when looking for a deal then I have to gauge thewarstore against the speed of MM.

Basecoat is on OnI-wannabe. Might have time later to do more. I'll never be as good as Angel paints, but the models are fun....not like the hundredth space marine .

I think thats why I'm branching out now as well, I get bored of painting Space Marines.

So, MM plus 5 flgs to my 1 flgs in another town 15mins away IF I can get the ride to it............Theo you live amidst an abundance for wargaming.hobby needs, like a pig in a full trough. I am a pecary rooting around for what it can find. you lucky dog

Pfft my closest game store is an hour away. I have an option to go north-ish, or south-ish, but they're both a solid hour.

Sorely tempted to preorder that and do the beer conversion

Just 1 hour? You luck S.O.B.

Grimdork,Pre-Order is for an entire month, so you have time to decide. I just hope CB does not wildly underestimate demand again. Wow.

Theo, Post some WIPS of Oniwaban first chance you get. Don't worry about painting as good as Angel. We all dream of it, but we all know we are never going to match the Maestro.

And he's such a nice guy too! I really wanted to talk shop about airbrushes at gencon but totally forgot while basking in the glory and didn't wanna go back and hassle.

Sorry for the quick stop in, lots to do still, just wanted to drop off my WIP shot of oniwaban.


I'll try and hit up the comments when I'm on lunch/dinner at work tonight.

The lighting makes super-critique difficult, but he looks a lot like the studio job. The lines on his "pants" look great too

He looks really nice Theo, as GrimDork said those lines on his pants are a great touch.

Possibly a better view of oniwaban


And while I was working at church I gathered these tops to our automatic air fresheners that I replaced today, they are air wick x-press aerosols. I got five of them, 4blue, one orange. This is a rushed job so bare with me for a moment.


Im keeping the blue part blue, it's an odd swirl that goes all the way around the lid starting near the top and finishing near the bottom, I quickly brushed some grey onto the rest, it will be solid later and look like concrete hopefully. Why would I do something like this......sci fi lighting of the future , tea lights will fit underneath, but for right now I just used the flashlight on my iPhone.

Will probably only have one as a centerpiece in a park or something. Would be cool if I could rig up a little water fountain to come out of the top of it and run down its sides like those fountains you see shaped like a ball.

I like the park-light-thing, kind of neat. I've been thinking of using those little cheap-o LED faux-candles, or faux-tea lights actually, for a number of things.

Good idea.

and nice progress on Mr Kenobi.

Another quick stop by I'm afraid, getting ready for church this morning and had a moment while the kids finish breakfast.

Miniaturemarket.com has the deal of the day

The dust tactics konigsluther walking tank for $18.00 normally $45.00

I grabbed one for future possible conversions, also bumped the order up with a few paints from Vallejo. If your a local pick up from MM then if your order is over $25.00 you get to spin the prize wheel. It's mainly free points, or three times points that you earned on the purchase, or a free movie(they have two racks full of movies for $5 each), or the boobie prize on a miniaturemarket drink koozie . I generally get the 200 free points which is $2 off basically so I try and break my purchases into $25.00 orders and pick them up 1 at a time as you only get one spin a day. (I currently have six orders in for the pre ordered Star Wars x-wing future expansions) I just realized I should be using the paint to fill me up to that magic $25 minimum , I'd been adding $10 items before, and I need to fill out my color pallet...........because reasons

Nice deal - lot of potential in that tank.

I was looking at that but I dunno what I'd ever really use it for. Maybe i should count my blessings that I *don't* live so close to awesome game stores

18bucks for the King huh?

I may have to see if any are left online store

Ran out this morning to pick up groceries.....and my order from miniaturemarket . They had a slew of books for RPGs and stuff on tables $2 each or 3 for$5. Only thing I saw that interested me was Dropzone Commander, so I grabbed that.....and some of their infinity specials. Along with my spin on the prize wheel I got a free DVD (picked I robot) so I got all this for $21.00 including tax

The infinity figures: Tarik Mansuri, Uxia McNeil, andPenthesilea(missing an arm, but for the price the motorcycle is well worth it by itself)

My order was the konigsluther and three paints, picture of the tank shortly.



Rhino for scale size.

How easy does it look to dis-assemble that konigsluther?

The barrels are separate from the arms, the arms are separate from the main body, and the ammo hopper on back is separate from the body as well. The legs are assembled to the body and don't move at all. But it's still imposing for the price.

Well it's pouring rain right now, so I primed those doors and the rest of the sedition wars terrain from the other day. Also Netflix updated the walking dead so I finally get to see the rest of the fourth season , maybe it'll get me sidetracked on some zombies.
