S.I.T.H Presents the Annual Slow Grow League!!!




I’M BACK!!!

And with amazing news, firstly our annual slow grow is about to start! And because how DropKill and myself set it up it means I can paint some models. But more importantly, I’m an Infinity Warcor now!!! YAY!!! All it means is that Corvus Belli want me to run Infinity demos and ITS events, and since I already run demos I’m half way there. So it’s going to be an exciting year for Infinity.
If you want to join the slow grow, the rules are here, and you can join our group here.

Anywho, as I said our slow grow is about to start and we’ve set it up such that the Golden Combi award is based on painting all the minis in your force. So I’m going to use it to start my vanilla Yu Jing force.


The way we are running it is that in the first month you have 125 points and 2 swc with no advanced rules, Lts or retreat, so I’m going to run a simple 7 order list.



First up are the three Zhanshis, the base line trooper for Yu Jing and the start of most Yu Jing lists. I’m being a little different and running one as an FO to blind people as an ARO if it makes more sense, WIP 13 should help with that! These guys can also count as my Lt so versatility. If I felt like it they could also be used to represent a hacker or paramedic too, so lots of options with the humble combi Zhanshi.

Following them is the Tiger Soldier, the best AD troop in the game. Armed with a boarding shotgun he can appear where needed and ruin many people’s day. Not much to say really

The Zuyong is the now basic heavy Infantry in Yu Jing, which means I have to use him. But for some reason he still only has a single model L
Regardless he can be an HMG Lt or proxie any of the other profiles.

The Guilang, a brutal camo troop with MSV1, will serve as ground control through mines and anti camo with MSV1. Also taking out LI via surprise shot. He can also serve as the assault hacker or FO options too, so much like the Zhanshi this guy has versatility with what it can be

Finally in my list you have the shaolin, a fun silly unit that costs little but has the potential of messing peoples plans up. Difficult to control due to being extremely impetuous and irregular, but is able to pop smoke and handle most people. I’m using a model that is only displayed with a close combat weapon and I’ll paint it up as a shock CCW, meaning I can use it for all bar 2 loadouts.

STRIKE A POSE
Hopefully, after the 11th, I can start painting these guys up, so expect more posts.

Cheers!

MOAB!!!




For some time, Sydney has had an annual wargaming convention held out in the Shire called MOAB, or the “Mother of All Battles”. And for the first time I actually went to it!

The main floor, you've got shops, demo tables and gaming tables!

MOAB has been on my radar for a little over a year now, and each year it runs there are multiple tournaments, including historicals, 40K, Warhammer and Infinity! Since a large number of the S.I.T.H mob were heading out to compete I thought I would pop by and check out the tournament in support of our club.

Downstairs we had one of the...5...tournament rooms, here with Infinity!!!

Zoran, a nice guy, was the TO and had 5 really nice tables set up, 4 being with their club terrain and one being donated for the day by “Make My Model” and “Adpaint” (also run by two good friends of mine), and holy crap did the tables look good!




 
This table!!! by Make My Model and Adpaint!

One thing I noticed was how open they were, which is rather funny considering the club has issues with my more Euro style tables!

I also snapped a few pictures of some demo games being run.

Deadzone...wish I had learnt how to play!!!

Relic Knights

All Quiet on the Martian front...10mm WWI sci fi wargaming

Deadman's Hand...I did notice recently I had a bit of a western bug bitting...

I managed to snap up a few items too; a Yu Jing, ISS and Mercs velcro badges and a Relic Knights Pacer because I thought it would go well with my Last Saga Mercs.

Cheers!
