Freight Port Table - Planning & Prep (updated)

The Inspiration

Not having made any scenery for some time I've been starting to get itchy fingers. So when I saw this Tetris-inspired idea for a modular small storage space table on the Infinity forums I decided to start a new table.

Daixomaku's original Sketchup design and tiles:

Rather than a direct copy I'm using the basic idea of stackable tiles (and 3x3 16" tiles to make a 4x4' board) but making it more industrial/SF-looking by taking the idea of the big walls and cladding them with micro-corrugated card to make freight containers. As this is a table that doesn't need to be so easily transportable I have more freedom in the design.

Infinity Unit Finder

I'm proud to announce the public beta of an Infinity unit database!

This database serves several purposes:

Integrated army lists for each faction/Sectorial across all books and PDFs.
Quick search for units by unit type, equipment, skills, LT options etc. across all factions.
A single place with the army list entry, background information and photos for each unit, plus links to the blisters and boxes containing that unit.

Please note that this is a reference tool rather than a list builder!

How do I see an army list?

Go to the army list page, pick the relevant faction/Sectorial then click Apply. All army list entries for the army will load up including ITS-legal Mercenaries and Sectorial-specific units from other factions, like this:

Infinity Bootleg Packaging

The bootleg range just arrived.

The new packaging makes a drastic change in design, reinforcing that these are part of a separate range from the gaming models. All rather tasty in design, if a bit tasteless when it comes to some of the illustrations...

Gencon 2013 - Infinity News

At GenCon last week, Bostria from Corvus Belli held a seminar talking about the future of Infinity, with all sorts of interesting bits coming down the pipeline! But first a thank you to Guges from the Infinity Forum who gave me permission to use his photos of the seminar, and a peek at CB's explosive growth of the last few years! As usual, click on any thumbnail to see a bigger image. Thanks also to Doremicom for videoing the seminar and uploading it to YouTube (part 1 of 2 EDIT and now part 2 of 2 as well).

Epic Death Guard - More Defilers, Infestation

Woo paint! Last week I managed to get some paint on some of the Nurgling Infestation and a test of one of the Plaguebearers. Lots of washes and glazes, they were really fun to paint.

In the last couple of weeks I started getting paint on the Epic objectives and the swarm:
