15mm Infinity - First Figure

Hi everyone,

Here is the first miniature for my 15mm scale Infinity Army.  I'll take some nicer photos later, but I was excited to show it off :)

I've chosen Nomads as my army, and this will most likely be a Lieutenant as either a wildcat or alguacil.

I do also have a squad being sculpted right now that includes characters without helmets.

So I might just end up making this a basic trooper instead of an LT.

The base I had custom made from GameCraft miniatures, it's laser etched acrylic to help match the city tiles I got from Warsenal.

Thanks for looking, and I hope to have more for you soon.

I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions you might have!

Infinity in 15mm - A quick board preview

Hi everyone,

I've been working on learning the rules to Infinity and converting all the ranges to 15mm scale (80%, so each inch = 2cm and I reduced all the templates down to 80% as well.  I did this because instead of normally 25mm bases I use US pennies which are ~20mm).

I'm also making a suitably high-tech looking board, only 2x2 at the moment though.

The tiles are from Warsenal and you can see the top and left side ones are finished and highlighted with an airbrush.  The bottom right one has just been primed.

The barricades and planers are also from Warsenal.

I have an order from GameCraft miniatures of his marshborn buildings and walkways, since I wanted to give this board a multi-layed look.

I plan on modeling the interiors too, to give even more play area.

And here it is with Old Crow Apartments on it...

I'll post more up as I get more finished!

Hot Exfil - Hell Divers load up under enemy fire into a Raven

After completing their mission, with the enemy hot on their tail, the Hell Diver team loads up into a Raven-Class transport.

I hope to have the Raven and sparrowhawk in two weeks or so, here is another sneak peak!

Gruntz Battle Report - Hell Divers attack a pirate outpost.

Hi Everyone,

I sat down last night to play a quick Gruntz demo game with my wife to show her how the basic rules worked.  I also wanted to see how a demo game would go since I want to schedule some Gruntz demo days at my local hobby shops.

I had a 6-strong squad of Hell Divers and she had two 7-strong squads of pirates/mercs.

The pirates had set up base in an abandoned mining colony and the Hell Divers were tasked with taking them out and restoring stability to the local trade routes. 

The Hell Divers deploy from their Drop Pod and begin to set up overwatch positions. 

One squad of pirates is outside of their shacks, probably gambling. 

A 2'x2' table was used.  Terrain is from GF9 and GZG with other various bits and shuttles from Micropanzer and Combat Wombat.  My daughter left the star shaped snack on the side for the game.

The Hell Divers move up from the Drop Pod, no LOS to enemy targets yet.

Pirate Squad 2 moves around the north side of the board to try and out maneuver the Hell Divers.

Pirate Squad 1 moves directly towards the Hell Divers and takes up cover.

Pirate Squad 2 attempting to lay a trap for the Hell Divers.

The Hell Divers react and open fire on the enemy squad to the north...

...with good effect, downing two pirates. 

The Pirate Squad to the south opens fire and takes out two Hell Divers.

The Auto-Heal nanites go to work on the downed Hell Divers, one without success.  

For revenge for their fallen brothers, the Hell Divers take out the remaining pirate squad to the north with a well aimed shot from the missile launcher.  After the large explosion the Pirate Squad to the south moves into the building to get cover and a field of fire.

The Squad opens fire from above the Hell Divers...

...and three more Hell Divers go down! Although two have superficial wounds and return fire..

Causing one casualty on the Pirate squad. 

At that point the Hell Divers had already taken more than acceptable casualties and snuck away to regroup and nuke the pirate base from orbit.  It was the only way to be sure.

We didn't use all the rules from Gruntz, since it was just a demo game, but we had fun and my wife enjoyed it because she won!

15mm Hell Divers deploy to a Desert Outpost

I got a cool rock wall today from the Model RR store. It's called FlexRock and it's a foam rubber rock face.

I used craft paints to paint the brown, and then drybrush over it. I then put the little tufts on it from Silfor.

I'm very happy with how it turned out. The ground is a "desert sand" small mat from Woodland Scenics.

They make a great backdrop for my photos:
