w00t. I haz TAG.

I had been waiting for more than a year for the Nomads to get their Iguana so that my Qapu Khalqi could finally steal it and have a TAG of their own. Then GenCon happened this summer and Corvus Belli released Joe "Scarface" Turner and his sister Cordelia as a limited edition model, and later announced that this new TAG would be allowed in my Qapu Khalqi force. Sadly, Scarface quickly sold out at GenCon and I had to continue to wait before he and his sister would join my army.

And, finally, after months of waiting the two of them were released to the general public last month. He may not be the best TAG in the game, in fact, he may be the worst TAG in the game (seriously, there are heavy infantry with better stats), but he is packed with tons of personality. I am so excited to have him on my team, and even though he did nothing in my first game with him last night, his sister Cordelia managed to grab the main objective in Scenario 101 for me.

Incidentally, and perhaps even more exciting, I finally got my new camera today. So, starting soon I will finally have better art to post with my battle reports!

Missing Ingredient: More Evil

I originally designed my new Infinity army as a group of comedic villains. They were criminals involved in smuggling and security operations, not particularly bloodthirsty, and always ready with a snappy comeback. It was fun to win with them, but it was also fun to lose because it was always amusing to root against them as they got beat up.

Our current campaign needs something a lot more evil though. Zac's Combined Army will make fantastic villains, but as the alien menace they are the natural enemies of all the other factions. What I want to bring to the campaign is a more insidious and human evil.

To ratchet up my evil quotient I'll be adding Joe "Scarface" Turner and his sister Cordellia, as well as several of their friends from the Druze Crime Syndicate. Combined with my new favorite unit, the Sekban naval marines (pictured above), I'll have a whole new way to play my army. Joe and the Druze are most famous for their work with MagnaOrba, a mining corporation involved in the Ariadnan commercial conflicts.

I expect Joel and Scottie will get a kick out of this: while working for MagnaOrba, Joe and the Druze kidnapped and murdered numerous Aridnan civilians, burned Caledonian villages to the ground, and committed dozens of other terrible war crimes. Also, I like to think that they helped destroy a certain Corregidor trade delegation with a small antimatter device at the end of our first campaign.

It's time to do some evil!

Spec-Ops Options

This is the expanded list of Spec-Ops models available for the Infinity Campaign relaunch. 

I wanted to expand the options for every army so that everyone can have a Spec-Op who is a badass beatstick, a tech specialist, or a cheap and cheerful soldier.

I made a couple of changes to this list since I sent it out to everyone in the campaign. I made a couple of changes to try to limit the points cost of Spec-Ops to 50, and to stick to the most basic weapon profiles.

Infinity Campaign 11/3

Sorry about the lack of articles lately. I've been working on terrain and other games while I eagerly awaited the arrival of my copy of Infinity: Paradiso.

My book is here now, and its game time! The campaign begins 11/3 at the Matrix, and I hope to see everyone there!

Check out A Light in the Grimdark for news, updates, and fluff as the day of destiny approaches.

Upcoming Infinity Events

Next Infinity Night will be Friday at the Armory, 9/21. I'll be running demos, and hopefully enrolling the last few players for the Infinity Campaign.

For those who still want to play in the campaign time is running out! Please come find me at the Armory Friday night so I can get you set up.

The next weekend, 9/28 and 9/29, I will not be running an Infinity night due to a conflict with my work schedule. However, I will still try to make it out one night to play some Infinity, and maybe even some Warmachine. I'm hoping that one of the other Infinity veterans in the group will be willing to take the reins and organize some Infinity free play or scenarios one of these nights.

The following weekend I will be flying down to Orlando to kick off the holiday retail season with a week of business meetings, but when I get back the Infinity campaign will be starting up. Before I can finalize plans I need to talk to the organizers of some other upcoming game events, and of course I also need to wait for the campaign book to be released. If everything works out the Infinity Campaign will finally begin on Staurday, October 13th, at the Matrix!

Hello Again, My Old Friend.

After a 2 year hiatus I finally pulled all of my Warmachine off the shelf and started thinking of getting back into the game. The gentle nudging of Scott and Gramut finally won me over, and now that I have more free time for gaming, I've finally caught the Warmachine bug again.

What originally got me into Warmachine those many years ago was my love for the Iron Kingdoms RPG. Now that the new IK RPG is just around the corner warm thoughts of gears, steam and coal dust have begun to prance through my head once again.

I've reinvented my army for this new era of Warmachine. In the past my army consisted of the Highborn Covenant, and was led by Ashlynn D'Elyse, Broadsides Bart, and Gorten Grundback.

My new army will be a little different, this time it will be built around Ashlynn, Captain Damiano, Constance Blaize, and occasionally Drake MacBain. I'm going to be adding some new units as well, like Precursor Knights and more Steelheads. My goal is to create a 200 point War army that runs all four casters at the same time. So far I've got about 110 points, so there is a lot left for me to add. As I build up my massive Mercenary dream army I will occasionally document my journey here.

Know Your Enemy- Part 2

Jack

Operation Group Hera is a clandestine assault team from Bakunin. It is made up primarily from members of the Holy Observance of Saint Mary of the Knife. This rogue sect of the Catholic church preaches both the divinity of women as well as the inherent evil of AI. Having mastered advanced computer and weapons technology, the members of the sect now take their fight to the ultimate AI, Aleph. Sect members consider Aleph to be the literal incarnation of Satan, and belive (with good reason) that humanity's AI overlord is leading the entire race to damnation. In their fight against Aleph, the Observance has sent Operation Group Hera to Paradiso in pursuit of a posthuman known only as "Karpos". Having evolved beyond the need for a physical body, Karpos has proved to be an extremely elusive, and nearly invincible foe. However, the members of Operation Group Hera will stop at nothing in their holy quest to destroy their nemesis.

Operation Group Hera is lead by Alexis, a Reverend Custodier who has spent her entire adult life mastering the advanced computer systems that Aleph inhabits. The group is advised by Kardon Jac, a Vortex Operative who aids the team in their mission in exchange for their help accomplishing objectives for the Black Hand. Offensively the team relies on technological trickery and advanced weapons systems, while Alexis's Sin-Eater bodyguards provide a solid defensive wall. The rest of the team is rounded out by Bakunin mercenaries, some of which are loyal followers of the Observance, while others are just guns for hire working for the Black Hand.

The Asyut assassin den operates out of the only Haqqislam city left on Paradiso that is not under direct threat from the Combined Army. From this position they are able to move about the planet as needed to achieve their objectives. However, as fighting with the Combined Army has intensified, the members of the Asyut den spend less time on intelligence missions, and more and more time defending Haqqislam territory. The den has been slowly forced to transform themselves from a sword into a shield to protect Haqqislam citizens and places of learning.

The master of the Asyut den is Altair Ibn-La'Ahad, a Hassassin Farzan of advanced years who has served on several different planets in the Human sphere. His seconds are Ahmad Sofian, a Fiday assassin, and Malik al Sayf, a Husam agent who has only recently arrived from Bourak. Currently the den also hosts the infamous Hussein al Djabel, who is using the den as a safe haven while he performs secret missions for the Old Man in the Mountain. The majority of the den is made up of Hassassin Muyib, young assassins who are still in training under the guidance of Altair.

Know Your Enemy- Part 1

This will be the first of several articles leading up to the Infinity campaign about the different armies joining in the fight. As people make their final decisions on their armies and work out their fluff and back story I will post new articles.

Jon

The Celestial Crow is a corsair ship crewed by a menagerie of scum from across the Human Sphere. The majority of the crew are former soldiers who served in the security forces of the Sultanate of Haqqislam. The crew maintains a close relationship with the Sultanate, working primarily as privateers and security escorts for the Haqqislam navy. When they are not working for the Sultan the crew fills their time with acts of piracy and mercenary work. The crew also has close ties with the Druze Mafia, who provide them with the majority of their criminal work.

The captain, Hakim Zuabi, is a former Hafza officer dishonorably discharged for embezzling war material from the Sword of Allah. Hakim is protected by a small cabal of Oadilisque bodyguards and other former Hafza. The backbone of the crew's fighting force is made up of former members of the Djanbazan regiments whose genetic tailoring make them perfect pirates. The rest of the crew are made up of a mix of disgraced former Haqqislam soldiers, Druze enforcers, Yuan Yuan scavengers, and outlaw Nomads.

The Logan Clan are a band of renegade warriors from the Caledonian province of Ariadna. These proud and brutal fighters were exiled from their homeworld of Dawn for acts of violence committed against representatives of O-12 and the nations of PanOceania and Yu-Jing. Hunted by the security forces of O-12 and Aleph, as well as the military of their own homeland, the Logans have been forced to travel from world to world as nomadic mercenaries. Despite their unfortunate circumstances the Logans have adhered to their belief in winning independence for the nation that shunned them. The Logans participate in direct action attacks throughout the Human Sphere, assassinating diplomats and military officers from other nations.

The head of the Logan Clan, Robert Logan, is a ferocious fighter and charismatic leader. Robert has close ties to the AriaDNA terrorist organization, who compensate the Logans very well for their violent acts. The Logan Clan has evolved into a mercenary company throughout their years of hardship. All of the members of the family are expected to be able to fight and fill a variety of combat roles. The elite members of the Clan are former professional soldiers from the Grey Rifles, Scot Guards, and SAS of the Aridnan military. The Clan also has a large group of Dog Faces and Wulvers thanks to generations of openly accepting these mutations into their family.

The Mirage Teams are special units of small size, created originally by the Merovingian Army to perform military operations denoted as “surgical”: fast, very tough and spectacular, in which stealth is not important. The missions of Mirage Teams see a high risk level and elevated casualty count.

Mirage Team 5 is made up of two distinct elements. The first element is the Security element, made up of Loup Garou SWAT and Metro Enforcement officers. The Security element is led by Achille Deveruex, a Major from the Stavka Intelligence Department, who also directs the actions of the entire team. The Assault element is led by Margot Berthier who executes orders determined by Achille and the Intelligence Department. The Assault element is made up of Zouaves, Chasseurs, and an elite cadre of Para-Commandos hand picked by Margot.
