A little bit of an Apocalypse
This weekend Veli, I and some other local players played a game of apocalypse, with 11K on both sides. Here are a few pictures(sadly our cameras battery depleted after round 1..):
Not too big of a battle, nor many Apo-units; the Guard players, Veli and I, had one Thunderbolt and a Malcador under our command. The game was a great fun though, and we'll hopefully play another one in the near future.

Sculpting project: A Wyvern!
Just started working on a new sculpting project, a wyvern for my little horde of greenskins. Being a kind of a training project, I´m not (propably) going to spend much time working on it yet I have high expectations. The result will not be like the original Wyvern sold in stores, but an incarnation of my own image of a wyvern. This one will have a long neck and the wings will be very close to the feet. I only have added a little putty on the skeleton, so I'll just share this pic of the situation before adding some meat around the bones. You'll hear from this!I have been lazy with my other projects including Yu Jing, I guess I'm gonna have to play some more Infinity to get the mood on.

[Military Action Report]:Repel Ariadnian intruders
Last Friday I finally managed to play a match of Infinity against a friend of mine. We agreed to play a small match of 150 points per side, which turned out to be a struggle which would take all evening.
Due to the low points limit I decided to include some special-op skirmishers and a few line infantry soldiers to provide enough orders, thus leaving my heavy infantry at bay.
While the opposing Ariadnian group wielded many Line Kazak's supported by a couple of scouts and a Vet. Kazak, my force consisted of:
-Hassassin Fiday - a fearless assassin who infiltrates enemy's ranks by impersonating their own comrades
-KUM Motorized Unit - a recruited motorcycling bloodlusty nuthead
-Hunzakut - a fighter raised and trained in rough mountain conditions of Bourak
- and Ghulam Infantry with a variety of equipment.
I got to deploy my unit's first and chose the side of the table with high buildings, so I could get my sniper-equipped Ghulam in a good counter sniping position. I also occupied the other end of a large building extending towards the center of the table. Of course, some units were also left on the street level.
First I advanced on my left flank with the KUM, shooting smoke screens with it's smoke grenade launcher. Under the cover of smoke my sniper got into a sniping position on the rooftops, overviewing enemy positions. The motorcyclist drove through a garden and stopped behind a fence.
As fighting bursted in and above the garden, the three Ghulam and Hunzakut occupying the interiors of the large building got into contact with an enemy scout.
After intense firefights my left flank was crippled: KUM was unconscious after killing enemy paramedic with his chain rifle, and the Ghulam on the rooftops had been slain by a camouflaged enemy sniper. Atleast I had taken control of the large building.
After the Ariadnian Scout had gained the upperhand in sniping, it got into a good sniping position and had a clear line of fire over the garden, which drastically reduced the haqqislamites' chances of advancing. My lieutenant and doctor were supressed .
The doctor Ghulam tried to slip in to an elevator, but was shot through a window by the sniper before she could reach it.
Fortunately my Hassassin Fiday was still intact and it's next move was to lurk towards the hiding enemy forces. The assassin entered the garden, camouflaged as an Ariadnian. A line Kazak started to move towards the Fiday and the Fiday moved behind a nearby tree to avoid being recognized by the enemy.
The Line Kazak got in colse and noticed something was not right, as the Fiday noticed he had almost been discovered, he shot the Kazak with his pistol before she could act.
After recamouflaging himself, the assassin advanced towards his next target Veteran Kazak, an Ariadnian heavy infantry trooper. The Fiday quickly got in close contact with the Vet and the close combat was ready to begin. Fiday got to hit first as the Veteran Kazak was utterly surprised, but didn't manage to wound the adversary. In the next round of close combat the Fiday failed again, and the Veteran Kazak crushed him with the strength of his exo-skeleton.
After my Fiday had been humiliated, I decided to give in and lose the match, because my Haqqislam force was in a state of retreat.
Well, it happened again. As cool as Fiday is, he always manages to lose his close combats. This time he would have needed anything but 18, 19 or 20 to succeed on a D20. Of course I rolled an eighteen.
It was a good game though :)

Yea, I made rocks
Heya, long time no see.
I haven't been updating the blog very often, neither have I done anything but a little of something here and there on wargaming's behalf. The Infinity league I mentioned earlier is yet to be launched, propably the plans will cripple under the weight of fall's A-levels. Hopefully Veli and I will still have time to arrange a small Infinity-tournament to play with our friends before the end of this summer.
In the summer holiday I have had more time for leisure activities, and the little scenery-fanatic inside me is dying to build some cool terrain for our games. I've already started making different kinds of terrain pieces but haven't managed to finish anything. Until today.
I decided that I'd have to make something quick and easy to get myself going, and the last time I was at my friend's spectating a match of Warhammer I was inspired by the old pieces of scenery we used to make together when we were younger. So I decided to make something simple too.
So I grabbed a handful of white modelling material and decided to make rocks. I shaped them with my fingers and this is how they came out after some filing and painting. I included a picture with a Janissaire to demonstrate the scale.
