Being hideously optimistic as to my chances in tomorrows Infinity tournament, a bit of classic Queen 😉

On the upside I have my lists, going with the Hyperpower of Pan-Oceania with two 10-order lists for maximum application of firepower down range, going for a spread of beef and specialists. Just need to sort out my tokens and get some LOS markings applied to the bases 😀

Questions:

1) Orcs, because I’ve been  enjoying seeing how folks  play with the idea of what an Orc is beyond the Waaaaaarghhh!!! stereotype. Mantic’s Marauders have a fun idea with them being incredibly professional mercenaries who play up their more savage characteristics to get folks to under-estimate them, and Shield Wolf have a range of Orcs as highly polished paladins, which is just cool.

2) It’s weird, I’ve always tended to play in competitive environments but it’s always been the stories that come out of narrative events that get me most invested in a game.

3) Never really played enough multiplayer games to have an informed opinion I’m afraid. they’ve always sounded great in theory but tend to be too great a time sink if you’ve not planned  explicitly fort hem…

Other hobby? Well I want to try and get at least some of my Wolf Guard terminators finished off today, got the new White Dwarf to flick through and hopefully my copies of Knight Renegade and Codex  Imperial Knights should turn up today as well 😉

The RG RX-78-2 Gundam build progresses but OH MY WORD  did I not realize just how many parts there are to this thing – almost every panel is built out of multiple pieces of differently coloured plastic, and it goes together differently to any other Gundam kit I’ve built, mostly due to the skeleton you build each component around. I’m still trying to work out how they can cast it with the torso and each leg& arm cast as individual pieces on the sprue, but articulated once you clip them off. As it stands I’m building it in stages as I find myself with a spare hour or two, not bothering with any labels just making sure to tidy up any bits of sprue where pieces were clipped off. Once it’s finished I’ll post up some pictures.

Anyway, that’s me set for this weekend. Happy hobbying folks 🙂
