Infinity Terrain

     Jumping into this game has given me a lot to be excited about. One of the best things when I decided to jump into it and ditch 40k was that the starter set came with a bunch of buildings and crates to help me with my first games. When I got the USAriadna set I was able to get more crates and buildings. Between my buddy and I we have quite the collection now.

     I started realizing pretty early on that having a smaller army with a smaller model count has really given me some extra money to spend on this game. The free rulebook and army builder are also another money saver. So two areas that I am looking at throwing that money into are; terrain and tokens.

     Terrain is a very big part of Infinity and I am finding that out every time I play a game. It has really been a lot of fun and now I have been looking at all the companies that support Infinity with terrain and scenery.

   One big thing I noticed is that Corvus Belli supports a lot of companies that make terrain for their game. This is definitely a plus and it has made my search for terrain very easy in one way and very hard in another. A few of those companies are: Micro Art Studios, Bandua, Warsenal and Plastcraft.

    The biggest problem so far has been deciding on what type of terrain to get. So first up on our list is Warsenal. http://warsen.al/ The Comanche set in particular is looking very good. This set features some very affordable bundle deals and the quality is very comparable to Micro Art Studio and Bandua.

This is a picture of their starter set that retails at about $100. Not a bad deal in my opinion. There stuff is unassembled and unpainted but that isn't really an issue  for most people. I am willing to put a little time into some terrain painting. Most if not all the pieces are made of 3mm MDF and having read some product and customer reviews the assembly seems to be pretty straightforward. The Comanche set has a lot of underlying USAridana themes and there are some great combinations of other pieces that really add to the set.

     I really like this set and it is in the top of my list for considerations. I am currently playing with an Ariadna force so this set of terrain makes a lot of sense. I also like the bundle packaging that is offered. Warsenal has a host of other products and for those seasoned Infinity players this is probably some very common knowledge. Just getting some ideas out there for us noobs who have become new addicts to Infinity.

The next article will feature some more terrain pieces and another manufacturer.
