The rest of the army

Here's the rest of my Yu Jing Army, the Guijia and Domaru Butai


Here's a group shot of all the Heavy Infantry on my army list:


There's also some pic on Hordes. My friend painted these for me. The result is far more superior than whatever I can try to do to my minis. These 2 minis are Absylonia, Terror of Everblight and Nephilim Soldier from the Legion of Everblight faction.

Painting Miniatures - 1st try

Well, as I promised...here's a photo of my Infinity minis that I painted myself :)
I just tried miniature painting for the first time so I suppose the result could be better but hey, practice makes perfect so maybe I'll get the hang of it after a few dozen more miniatures :D
The painting's not 100% done yet though, I still need to do some highlights on some part of the minis.



I haven't finished the Domaru Butai and Celestial Guard yet and the store where I bought these minis was out of Shaolin Monks. I've finished the Guijia figure today but haven't got the chance to take a photo of it.

To Infinity and Beyond

No, it's not a ramble about Toys Story but instead, it's about a Tabletop Skirmish Miniature Game(or whatever you want to call it) called Infinity.
Well, Infinity is a Tabletop Miniature Game from Corvus Belli which is a company residing in Spain. The game uses manga aesthetics to present a marvelous sci-fi world filled with conflict and plenty of interesting figures.

I'm just starting to play the game(well actualy I've only read some of the rules, but I like what I read) and have chosen Yu Jing as my army. I've ordered the Starter Pack for Yu Jing and two other units: the Shaolin Warrior Monks and the Hsien Warrior.

Here's what the starter looks like:


















Here's the Shaolin Monks:















And here's my favourite figure from the Yu Jing(aside from the Hac Tao and the Oniwaban), the Hsien Warrior:
























Infinity is not a pre-painted miniature game so I'd have to paint all of those myself. I'm still new at this miniature painting stuff(I have a Nephilim Soldier from Hordes but my friend painted it for me) but I'm thinking of using the colors from the character Alphard from Canaan(a great Anime).

Here's what she looks like:


















Well, that's it for now. I'll post some photos when the figures have arrived and when I finished painting them. Until then, if any of you're interested in Infinity, check out www.infinitythegame.com
If you're living in Indonesia, just contact me if you're interested in ordering some Infinity minis :D

The Day of Fire and Water

One day, two disasters, and I'm involved in both of them(well, kind of). Just my luck, eh?
The first disaster, "Fire" is of course the Oil Depot Fire in Plumpang, which happened on January 18th. The area is quite close to where I live, not very close but close enough so that if something goes awry, the fire will certainly spread to the area where I live. So what's the most reasonable thing to do? my family decides to go back to the old house, the same old house that has always sufer from floods in the last two years(well, not last year but the road IS flooded).

And whoop-dee-do, we have our second disaster, "Water". Around 12.00PM it starts raining and around 01.00AM I got to the old house and watch some TV news then went to sleep on around 02.00AM. The rain gets worse and it starts flooding on 03.00AM, that's just great. So we hop to the cars and try to get the heck out of the neighbourhood. But no, it can't be THAT easy, the road just have to be packed with people and all the crossroads are filled with cars that are parked there to avoid the water. And what do we get? around half an hour wait inside the car, in the middle of the road, with water rising all around us. Thankfully we got to the larger road at around 03.30AM. We wait there until 06.00AM and when we saw that the water level is lower, we went straight to the new house. Heck, contained fire near the area is far better than living with water up to your knee(inside the house).

So there you have it, hopefully the worst day of my life...

Happy New Year?....whatever

Well, as usual, I "forgot" to post anything here for a few months, mostly because of Warhammer Online. Although I've suspended my account since December because I need some time off from the game. Still a great game IMO, I just need more time to play other games(namely, Fallout 3).

I won't be discussing Fallout 3 though, because I think the game is just OK in my book, not that great but still a good game.

What I will be discussing(for a bit) is Monsterpocalypse. The Collectible Miniature Game featuring giant monsters. The game's very tactical in which you must really plan and think about your next moves, almost like chess. The theme itself really interests me because of the obvious references to popular giant monster movies like Godzilla and those japanese movies like Ultraman. They even have a Cthulhu faction called the Lords of Cthul, the faction I'm currently using.

I'll post some photos of my collection when I have some time, but for now...I'm off.

oh....err...Happy New Year 2009(I'm just 9 days late, no biggie right?)

WAR is here!

At last, I got my Warhammer Online DVD.
Well, I don't have time to write much about it, the game awaits :D
So, I'll just post a photo of the DVD and two screenshots of my characters

Here's the DVD:














And here are the screenshots of my caracters:
Name: Krieger
Class: Warrior Priest
Server: Thorgrim
Guild: Fear the Boot

Name: Bloodsteel

Class: Disciple of Khaine

Server: Ironclaw

Guild: OrdeBaru

For those who wants to meet me in-game, just /tell me. Sometimes my brother plays the character for RvR but most of the time it's me playing the characters.

Now, I'm going back to WAR.

WAR is Coming!!!(or not...)

First, I want to say whoa it's been more than two years since my last post here. Well, that's what you get for being a lazy-ass procrastinator. But hey, who reads this blog anyway?

Anyway, regarding the title...

That's right, WAR is coming...to my PC at least.

I've been following the development of WAR(Warhammer Online) since a year ago. I saw all of the production podcasts and all of those interesting interview featuring Paul barnett(man, I like that guy, he's one of the reasons why I bought Warhammer Online...beside the game itself :P).

About a week ago, I checked www.indosoftwareboutique.com to buy Warhammer Online but sadly, they're out of stock. So I waited until October 10th and went to their store to buy the game. Result? still out of stock. And again, at October 12th I went there again and you know what? still nothing.

So, I decided to just pre-order the game from the store. They said that the game would be coming on October 15th. But sadly it was delayed until October 16th. Now, this is the best part... it's 19.34 right now and guess what? NO WARHAMMER. This is what I get for living in a country where "express" means "maybe tomorrow".

Now let's just hope it really does come tomorrow...or else there'll be more than just WAR coming...(not really, I'd probably too lazy to do anything about it...I'll just wait...patiently).

So...what'll I do after I got my game?

I've been interested in the Warrior Priest class for quite a long time now but I think my friend who will also play WAR would want to play on the Destruction side which would force me to choose either the Chaos Chosen(love the armor), Disciple of Khaine(the equivalent of the Warrior Priest on the Dark Elf side), or the Black Orc(big brutish orc? gotta love'em).

Anyway, If I'm to play Order, I'd be playing on Thorgrim server to join the Fear the Boot guild. The guild's founded by the guys at my current fave podcast Fear the Boot.

If I play Destruction though, it'll probably in the Ironclaw server where most of the Indonesian players are based.

Well, now the only thing I have to do is wait...

I'll post something tomorrow to report on my first try at WAR(or not...).

PS: I'm to lazy to post any picture...maybe I'll post a picture or two of my character in WAR(or not...).
