Bandua produce a wide range of laser-cut MDF terrain including an Infinity-specific range. The CTB crates are from their general SF range.

Looks & Styling

The CTB crates are relatively plain in style however the etched surface detail and the slitted areas work well together.

Parts, Fit & Construction

Each crate comes as a sheet of MDF containing four sides, the top and bottom.

This Saturday I headed ninety miles up the road to Vanguard Wargaming in Bristol, for the Epic UK Winter Warmer. This is a slightly laid-back tournament with no restrictions on army lists so all sorts of experimental stuff can turn up.

Due to misjudging the length of the drive I arrived about 15m late so it was pretty much straight into the first round against Ben's Black Legion Chaos Marines.

Round One

Generally excellent scenery. This game was really an uphill struggle all the way, which turned out to be expected as I'd got paired against the winner of most of the previous Winter Warmer events. It eventually went 3-0 to Ben at the end of turn 3 but would presumably have been 5-0 if I hadn't managed to rally the remaining Plaguereaper, both Plaguehounds and a fourth formation, I think one of the Death Guard Retinues.

This Saturday I headed ninety miles up the road to Vanguard Wargaming in Bristol, for the Epic UK Winter Warmer. As always, a deadline is wonderful for getting painting done and I was prompted to make another Defiler and to get more paint on the existing models.

Defiler Seven

I started off with a couple of ideas based on Plaguebearer torsos on top of machines but ended up with no torso at all on the final model.

Jed from Antenociti's Workshop is giving away some freebies to get more UK Infinity players on the map and we've decided to help out by adding MOAR FREE STUFF!

Here's what Jed is doing:

There’s a very handy but somewhat under-utilised ‘Infinity The Game’ player locator here: https://infinitypeople.herokuapp.com/

Following on from the conversion blog post, I've now started slapping paint on the Plaguehound conversions.

The first step was to break up the flat plane of the bases, for this I used some fragments of wall for scale and Platicine to add some hillocks.

This Challenge Series event is made up of two separate one day tournaments.

IMPORTANT UPDATE Feb 14th

As of Feb 14th Sunday is full and Saturday has three spaces remaining. There will be a reserve list for Sunday in case any tickets haven't been paid for by March 1st.

Saturday Daytime - Joint Ops Tournament

Aimed towards helping newer players, Saturday's tournament will use the new Joint Ops format with newer players being teamed up with more experienced players to play in pairs.

Each player will have a 200pt force so each side will be 400ot.

Each player will be allowed two lists but they must be from the same vanilla faction or Sectorial.

Saturday Evening - Fun Stuff

Open gaming including board games, Infinihulk etc.

Sunday - 300pt 'Classic' Tournament

This will be a standard 300pt ITS tournament with the usual two lists from the same vanilla faction or Sectorial.

Terrain House Rules

After not rating the EpicUK Plaguehound Titans all that highly a couple of test games including one changed my mind - horrifically short-ranged guns but horrifically nasty once they get close enough!

In keeping with the highly-converted aspect of my Death Guard army and inspired by some conversions of Cryx models on the Taccoms forums I started keeping an eye out for some cheap Bonejacks to use as the chassis. Here's the first mockup, done a couple of months ago. Suitably bulky and the sculpting style is surprisingly close to the the Jes Goodwin Reaver head.

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.

The results for the 2013 Winter Challenge.
