Ariadna 112 Emergency Service

Here I am with yet another Infinity miniature, 112 Emergency Service. It is kinda special for me since it was my birthday gift from Mr.Lee some one and a half year ago. Recently, I thought that it gathered enough dust in my deep drawers and decided to paint it.

So, this figure is also from Ariadnian army list, one of the very few doctor choices in the list actually. Since they are trained for the worst, they are not only doctors but also trained troopers and firemen (hence the axe). I just love the dynamic pose and of course, the shotgun he totes.

I tried to follow the studio painting schema; but I feel I utterly failed :) I just couldn't manage to achieve that blue color of his coat with a green tint in it, so I went on with more blue; but I think I nailed the yellow parts. I am also happy with how greens turned out.

With this figure is done, my stock of unpainted Infinity minis has depleted. From now on, I will observe how will the interest in Infinity be in my local club before investing more. I've been running demos for quite some time now; but unfortunately I haven't been able to get this game going until now, so we will see...

I'd like to thank Mr.Lee once again for this beautiful gift. I think we learned our lesson since though, because since then, we only presented painted figures to each other :)

The Dude, The Mad and The Deadly: Ariadna Antipodes

Surprise, surprise... Most of the you might be unaware of it; but I have a small Ariadna force for Corvus Belli's beautiful sci-fi skirmish game, Infinity. Even though there are many guys in our club with an Infinity force (close to 10 actually, if not more), we never get to play it for one reason or another. Such a shame...

A month ago, while we were running the local gaming convention of my hometown, there was a huge interest in the Infinity table which I and one of my friends were in charge of. We ran numerous demo games in those couple of days and I was sure enough that we will recruit new blood for our club in the form of Infinity players. Truth is, it is yet to happen so I decided to fuel the fire a little -if there is any left- by painting and and showing off with a bunch of Ariadna minis.

These miniatures are from the Antipode Assault Pack for the Ariadnian forces. The idea is, the chick has a control device to manipulate the beast from afar and the antipodes quickly sneak up on the enemy to chew them up before they know anything. Only the best plan ever when you don't have even a pinch of technology :)

The controller gal comes as a single piece mini; but all of the antipodes come in at least 5 pieces if my memory serves me right. I didn't do any conversion work on the minis. I don't play 40k so my bitz box doesn't contain that kind of stuff and even if I did, I doubt the scales would fit here. Anyways, since I didn't do any conversion on the miniatures, I showed a little more love on the bases instead. The controller's base, I did by salvaging actual circuit board from an unused phone. And yes, it was me who had torn it apart in the first place. The base of the dude with the danger sign was also done with parts from that phone. Rust in piece fella, you served me well... The base with the about-to-leap antipode has its walls done with Pegasus Hobbies bricks. The same ones that I used when doing the display board for my Chaos Dwarf army.

So, that's all for now. WHF is out in our club for quite some time now, so I will try and see if I can spark some interest in Infinity for the weeks to come. Enjoy...

Infinity: Bir Sci-Fi Savaş Oyunu

Blogu boşladığım dönemde Warhammer'den başka bir savaş oyununa daha sardırdım. Kulüpte hasıl olan, az minyatürle kısa zamanda oyun oynayıp bitirme eğilimine bir çözüm olarak skirmish bir oyuna başlamaya karar verdik. Kulüpten arkadaşım Mereghost'un araştırmaları sonucu, Infinity ve Malifaux arasında bir seçim yapıp Infinity'i tercih ettik.

Infinity, İspanyol Corvus Belli firmasının çıkardığı, sci-fi bazlı bir savaş oyunu. Kuralları ücretsiz olarak indirilebiliyor, ayrıca güzel de bir wikisi war. Oyunun kuralları ve oynanışı hakkında genel bilgi edinmek için güzel videolar da hazırlamışlar, bir göz atın derim.

Infinity ordularından tercihim Ariadna oldu. Bu ordu, bulunan bir "worm hole"den geçip, oradaki bir gezegeni kolonize etmek için yol çıkan bir konvoyun ilk gemisi olan SS Ariadna'nın taşıdığı öncüler aslında. SS Ariadna'dan sonra worm holeden geçecek uzay gemisi worm holeyi çökertince kaderleriyle başbaşa kalan bu tayfa, hedefledikleri gezegene yerleşip, hayatta kalmaya yönelik bir yaşam tarzı benimsemişler. Hayatta kalmanın en önemli dürtü olduğu her toplumda olduğu gibi teknolojik ilerleme, bilim ve sanatın çok da ilerlemediği bir "medeniyet" durumunda Ariadna şu anda. İlk koloniciler olarak, aralarında Ruslar'dan Fransızlar'a, İskoçlar'dan Amerikalılar'a pek çok ülkeden insanın bulunduğu Ariadna ordusu, düşük teknolojisine rağmen üstün kamuflaj yeteneklerine sahip, ucuz askerlerden oluşan, keyifli bir ordu.

İleride Infinity'den daha çok bahsedeceğim. Şimdilik Ariadna kurtuluş örgütü'nün elemanlarının fotoğraflarıyla idare edin:
