I thought about getting a tag, but I don't like either of the Nomad ones and my other favorite faction doesn't have any

You know what the worst TAG model is? O-Yoroi Kidobutai. Seriously. No one should pick him for the dakka painting challenge. They really shouldn't. It would be awful.

**Casey's Law**

Haha, I wonder what motyak is working on...

**Revenent Reiko**

Im going to necro this, but with an update! Im back (sort of ) and have managed to get Dude's excellent JSA Tactica reposted over here on Dakka. Thanks go to Dude of course for his permission and great work.

**Alpharius**

Sweet!

Thank you very much - your efforts to get these excellent tacticas 'over here' are greatly appreciated.

As are the efforts of the original authors too, of course!

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

Well, I took the plunge and ordered a ton of infinity stuff and MAS buildings from warstore, got 3 starting armies for Infinity for me and a couple army buddies to try out..looks like its gonna be a fun break from 40k, and will be nice to paint 10 models and have army

Will start a separate P&M thread for them when I get to working on em.

Me too!

I'm about to launch my own P&M Blog here for all tings INFINITY and Alpha Legion...

**Kanluwen**

Those builds look nice, Alph.

**Pacific**

Wow, very nice!

Have you thought about what kind of theme you will go with for it yet?

No problem Alphy, happy to help.

Of course, but im very happy to put a bit of work in to get their work 'over here'

Anyone got a preference for the next one to be queued up?

Nope, you've covered both my armies ha. Don't help anyone else, I need this edge...

Alternatively, vanilla Pan O? That seems to be one of the ones that a lot of the 'just starting infinity' threads are mentioning as an interest of theirs.

**Revenent Reiko**

Haha while i would love to just help you motyak im pretty sure someone would disapprove (ill see what i can do about sabotaging the requests.....

)

Vanilla PanO is up.....was the last one i did....Its only half complete as the author (Flipswitch) hasnt written it yet, but LI, MI, HI, and REM is up...saying that i have just checked and theres a TAG post! (not the Jotum though, sorry Alphy) Ill get that done over the long weekend...

EDIT: Just in case, here it is: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/509391.page

Appreciate the kind words though

Thanks!

I realized that I'm probably going to have to do most of my INFINITY gaming at home for a while...

And once I bought a house with a nice large dry basement...

Pacific wrote:Wow, very nice!

The oh so common Industrial Zone, probably!

I'll also have a half Industrial/half Fall/Winter Wilderness border zone too, for all that hot Svalarheima action!

I've got another MAS Apartment to build, along with a MAS Garage and 2 "L" Shaped Buildings.

After that, there's a few more Sarissa Precision buildings I'd like to add. Their new "Centre Point" looks very nice, and would make a nice Winter Outpost I think!

**motyak**

Woops I flew clean over that Pan O post Revenant. My bad. I think Haqq (specifically QK) is the one that other people seem to be quite interested in.

**Alpharius**

Good point there - QK seems to be quite popular.

Which is why I'm surprised that:

1) The QK sectorial box took so long to come out

and

2) That it didn't have any new miniatures in it!

**Revenent Reiko**

Haha no worries motyak, its easy to do...ill see what i can do about a QK tactica, although the Bureau came out today so i may be more busy than i first thought...

is that a sore point Alphy? It is a very popular sectorial though, sort of disappointed in CB that they didnt at least do a resculpt for the box...

**Alpharius**

Nah, I'm OK with no new sculpts in there.

After all, it helps make that particular month a bit cheaper for me!

**Casey's Law**

Glad to have you back, Rev! And thanks for getting back to bringing those threads across. I'll update the list for yah. Could I request the Bakunin one next?

Oh and any idea why I have one of the threads scored out but I haven't linked it?

Sorry about my tardiness guys, I'll catch up over the next few days. Rubbish week, blah, blah, blah, more in my blog, bouncing back.

Will sort out the threads that need updates when I get the chance.

Alph, I am so psyched to see you getting your projects seriously underway and onto Dakka. Make sure you give us a link when you put it up!

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

well just received my first 3 starter sets yesterday, PanO, yu Jing, and Ariadna, started painting the Ariadna first, since camo is kinda my thing, but the others look fun to do aswell.

And I ordered way to much terrain recently for this game.....my bank account is not happy, but ohwell, cant take it with ya

But I will not buy anymore stuff until I get what I bought painted..modelwise, the terrain is gonna take a while, even though I took the plunge and got a H & S 2 in 1 airbrush, just thought that the infinity models and terrain could benefit from the airbrush approach, and to top it all off, I chose the clean urban tablescape tiles for my kickstarter package, so when it all comes together, should be nice looking set up.

So much to do

Haha, I said that. 'I'll buy a 200pt army and then buy more when it's painted'. 16 additional models plus a TAG later...

Though it was actually to my benefit. I had a game on the weekend where 2 of my original lineup (Fiday and Ghulam) were off bases waiting to be stripper, so I subbed in an Odalisque and a Barid hacker, and they performed better than I think the Fiday and Ghulam would have. My 200pt lineup has officially changed.

**Pacific**

Haha yes.. good if you have the will-power to stick to it, although I fail abysmally and have at least another couple of 300pt forces that are still in their original packages..

Make sure you start a P&M blog for all of your stuff Soo'Vah'Cha, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Well you say that...but i felt bad about forgetting one of No.33's excellent Tacticas, so here it is: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/548380.page#5985039

Ill get on the Bakunin and QK Tacticas later...

EDIT: and in a tasty teaser, i have just gotten permission for the QK Tactica...keep your eyes open....

**Casey's Law**

Boom, great job, I'll link it up.

**Revenent Reiko**

Aaaand here is Errhile's Qapu Khalqi: The Men of the Gate

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/548387.page#5985199

Phew...i need a break...

EDIT: Of course, as this was an expansion of his old thread i was going to port over, this one 'Bazaar Guard's Logbook - Qapu Khalqi by Errhile ' i am not going to bring over (can you take it off the list Casey?)

**Casey's Law**

Great stuff, mate! Two done already, you're on fire! I've fixed up the list with the new tactica.

**Revenent Reiko**

Thanks, i do try

Im struggling to find a Bakunin Tactica other than the one i listed before, and (iirc) that was only a brief(ish) unit analysis...will see what i can do to help you out Casey!

EDIT: Nevermind, the 'Guide to Bakunin' is a LOT more comprehensive than i remembered...

**Casey's Law**

Looking forward to it, mate but don't burn yourself out.

Your enthusiasm has prompted me to pretty up the OP. And I'm going to start redoing another OP while I'm at it. Maybe... dare I say it? The Begginers Sticky! Duhn, duhn, duhn!

It's about time, eh?!

I've also come up with a cool idea for it which means splitting into two threads but makes a tonne of sense considering traffic flow and usage. I kind of wonder why this never struck me before!

**Revenent Reiko**

Well the request is sent...no reply as of yet though (but the writer is offline so im not surprised

). Yeah it wont be up tomorrow, but maybe Tuesday or Wednesday depending on answers/time etc.

No way! Not the beginners sticky?!

haha only kidding. Looking forward to seeing the new (and improved?) Beginners sticky, and the new plans for the double thread...ill confess i have no idea what you mean yet, but im looking forward to it nonetheless....

**Casey's Law**

Nice one, dude!

Working on the sticky now, hope it works for everyone. Basically I'm turning it into a contents page/FAQ and making a separate beginner/FAQ thread which I believe will get a tonne of traffic anyway. The link to the beginner thread will sit proudly at the top of the sticky though.
