Infinity Yu Jing Notes

So I have started playing infinity. I really like this game. The aesthetic is not my favourite, though it is slowly moving away from the anime vibe it started with and towards a grimier sci-fi look. It's the gameplay that has won me over, and the entry fees. Everything except the models in infinity is available for free on the internet - rules, counters, army builder tools, everything. The models are also pretty cheap - $12 for a blister, unlike the insane $40+ you pay for a blister from Games Workshop. And because you only need about 15 dudes to have almost an entire collection, your wallet is breathing easy.

New Blood Angel's list

I played a game. I have made some changes.


I felt like I needed a few more bodies, and I really want to try the flak cannon furioso dreadnought (assault 2, STR6 rending template!). I was reminded of how shit Storm Ravens are - not enough DAKKA! I also thought Dante needed cheaper ablative wounds.


For Next Year - Blood Angels!

This year I really wanted to play a Ravenguard scouting Rhinos MSU spam list at our club tourney but I was thwarted by rules changes (Ravenguard no longer have scout on troops). Next year, assuming no major rules changes, I'm planning to run Blood Angels. They are at the right power level for the event (i.e. v. low), I can make a sweet display board for them, and in playing with them so far I think they can actually be quite devastating but they require heaps of finesse. A good challenge to work around over the coming year. Here is the list I am play-testing at the moment:



Club Tournament Battle Report

I won! Best theme...again. I went 2-1-2 (2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw), which I think means that my army was at exactly the right power level for the tournament, or that I suck. I don't recall making any major mistakes besides forgetting a rule. Rather, I recall Lysander failing 7 charges in the first 3 games. All the games were close: I lost by 3, I drew, I won by 5, I lost by 3 and then I won by 3. So 2 points overall! I finished at about 10/22, which I am satisfied with. Next year I might bring something a little bit more aggressive, but I was pretty happy with the list overall. Here is what I took:
