I prefer something smaller so i'll be sticking with the thin one Silver made but i'm sure someone will be using it. Thanks very much for doing it!
Thanks for the kind words! It's the first time I tried making something like this, so I'm glad it turned out good ^^ At the very least I'll make sure to use it myself
Well, kind of first time. I know how to use a picture manipulation program, and I do simple stuff like cropping pictures and such from time to time... But I've never tried to take different picture and put them together, or making a banner.. Even the explosive effect was something I improvised forth after an image I had in my head
But either way, great thanks to everyone working on this! We are sure to attract attention towards Infinity! Keep up the good work!
I've been working on the Infinity Rank Tracks tonight. I condensed them into one list to make each rank easy to compare between factions. Not finished obviously but i'm getting tired, what do you think of what i've done so far? Is the balance good? Have i missed out something important?
Key: N - Nomads AL - Aleph Y - Yu Jing P - PanOceania H - Haqqislam C - Combined Army AR - Ariadna
Sorry, neither it is. It was at the time because i was comparing them to each other.
I'll finish it off tomorrow then split them up again. By doing it this way all the levels should equal out as best as they can.
Frak! I just filled in two of the other three rank tracks by editing the post and then i hit the profile button and lost it all. I'll have to do them again later. Sorry guys!
It didn't work because i wasn't doing a full edit. :( I've managed to remember most of it with a couple of mistakes. So i'll post it up soon when i've done CA.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Done! Any changes that i should make?
I have submitted the six faction specific rank tracks to Dakka. If you would like to add others, Sectorials for example, feel free to post them here and i'll equate them then add them in.
Anyway, sectorials might be pushing it a bit far, as I think if we start doing some, we need to do them all, and there's two things wrong with that:
1) Some sectorials don't contain enough different model types to make up the 15 ranks.
2) That would be 13 more tracks, and I think 20 in total for what's still a fairly small game is pushing it a bit. I'm not even sure WHFB has that many. (WH40k does though, I think.)
Your right, Marco, Sectorials is taking it too far i didn't consider it for long enough to see the negative side of it. Good shout.
And yeh, i meant seven. They are listed in the OP and there is a link to the thread where i asked for them to added.
I haven't heard back about the Glossary terms yet, maybe Alph could give that a nudge along? Being a mod and all.
Don't want things to slow down, we are doing a great job so far! So whats next on our list? Lets have a look...
...Shiiii. It's all completed! Well done everyone and a personal thank you from me to all the contributors and supporters!
I'd suggest we get back to brainstorming then, what else can we do to keep things improving and ticking over? I have one idea which i'm going to discuss with someone on Friday. I won't say what it is because i don't want to make any promises. Anyone else got an idea we could try to execute?
Edit: We haven't chosen a slogan or had any Avatars submitted yet actually.

I'm against slogans personally. Most are in-crowd references, or ones that are just being 'smart' and put as many people off as they attract.
Personally I think a UK dakka infinity/40K/etc meet would be quite cool. 40k attracts a lot of people, but the infinity is there so people can be exposed to it and those who have it can play (and others can proxy)
Well, there have been a few dakka meets. I think it was kettera (sp - on phone so can't go check without losing post ) who organised the platinum devil events in canterbery. Can't remember who did the silver sorceror events at warhammer world.
I'd suggest tring to book space at the maelstrom games game hall as can play all games on their tables and it is pretty central. Otherwise, if someone can hire a cheap venue and people can bring terrain?
As someone who loves the fluff and the models... who really likes to paint and discuss stuff, but doesn't have too many games under his belt, any suggestions?
I have my blog up, and I'm actively following anyone else who is working on things. There certainly aren't as many Infinity P&M Blogs, so those that update regularly are a treasure.
The only other thing I can think of is to point some of my RL people to Dakka so they can participate and add their two cents.
"-and all that time in Paris, when you were wallowing in debauchery with your doxies, tarts and pirates... you were trying to convince me you were a disgusting, swinish, lecherous, drunken sot... Well I want you to know it worked.
That will help a bunch, maybe post up some lists you use or posts some tactics that you found useful / need help with.
If you are feeling really ballsie you can do a batrep, but these are kinda difficult so the more feedback on good batreps we can get out there the better.

You legend! It will be good to have him on board. I think Mechanicum Jon is falling into the groove too!

The videos are in the stickied thread and they are very informative so yeah i'd watch them for sure. You could also put up a thread asking which of your ideas would work? The more quality threads the better!

As Blue said, you're already doing loads to help, boss! Content is the most important thing and everyone is doing a great job there. apart from that, just keep the threads fresh and throw any ideas for improvements in here.
If anyone has ideas or suggestions about a meeting then please feel free to post them here, i'm sending off a few emails to test the water. How solid are we that it has to be Maelstrom? If we worked out cheap travel options does it even have to be central?

I have read the unit entries, but it is the overall universe fluff that is really lacking - only a handful of lines on each faction? I need what is in the rule book
As for posting the fluff? I will eventually post it - once I have settled on what I want to do

Maelstrom is convenient as they already have the terrain etc, plus you can buy Infinity there and then if you like it, and you are not limited to playing one specific brand like at warhammer world
But if people are willing to bring terrain, you can host it pretty much anywhere. Regards to the central bit - it would be nice to have a dakka event that wasn't right on the south coast for a change
It's not just the cost, but the travel time - if you are coming from Scotland then you've got a massive travel time to get to anywhere, let alone if you have to go all the way down south. A central location means that people can look at the event and say "hey, I won't have to spend 4 days standing up in a train to get there, I might give this one a go!" - plus the south is expensive for everything

The youtube videos are general fluff not unit specific. I've read parts of the rulebooks but there is a lot to read and sometimes i find the translation means it's tough going because the writing doesn't flow perfectly. The videos were informative and i got an idea of the whole universe very quickly. Well worth watch even if you've got the rulebooks!

Maelstrom is convenient... ...plus the south is expensive for everything
Gotcha! That was all great advice. I'll see what i can come up with. I'll keep you informed as things progress.
Met up to buy a couple of models and have a chat with a guy from the Infinity forum. He's off to a convention but i've interested him in coming over to Dakka to sell his stuff here when he gets back.
Those of you well acquainted with the Infinity forums will know him as ChoKonnit or ShaeKonnit. He is the master of the 'Split Box Leftovers' where he sells individual models from Infinity clamshells and box sets. He sells his stock from here in Scotland and if you buy models from split boxes he posts them in envelopes for a very, very reasonable fee.
Hopefully he'll make his way over here soon. Please make him feel welcome as usual and buy lots of models from him!
I updated my signature, and although neither my Army List nor my painting skills are too great, I'll could get my Hassasin Bahram onto the Army List - do we have to lobby to get a section for Infinity there?
Frak! I just filled in two of the other three rank tracks by editing the post and then i hit the profile button and lost it all. I'll have to do them again later. Sorry guys!
