So this may be a game that some are familiar with, least I've seen it mentioned a few times here and there and a good amount of Topos models seem to be heavily influenced from infinity. So in my ever growing quest to find the perfect Scifi skirmish game (basically GunCrawl with vehicles) I've been skimming the rules for Infinity and am really liking a lot of what it has to offer squad wise (except lack of vehicle use, tho that's not too bad with the amount of options it has) but the more I read the more it really seems geared towards there specific mini line (which is kinda expected), I guess one of the main things I'm wandering is how hard would it be to use paper minis instead? Also anyone's thoughts on the game if they've play the game or understand it a bit more lol?

The minis are very cool, but tres expensive. I'd love to do an anime inspired line with a cyberpunk vibe...

There is a user here who made a number of Infinity-esque paper minis, not remembering who at the moment... If I remember the Infinity rules correctly vehicles are more like terrain that can move and shoot back.

I may have to do some digging around on the Forum lol. Wonder if I could just proxy in the Terra Force and NCC minis for a test game (or if they'd work in the long run)? Unfortunately the more I read I don't think it really has a race that would work for the Skelebots or Hybrids from what I've seen (or even my beloved TAU and drones lol) like what GunCrawl has, I actually have been writing up some basic rules for vehicles in GunCrawl too.

There's the Song of Blades and Heroes ruleset for modern and near-future SF: Flying Lead. I don't recall it having vehicle rules, but it is perfect, as it's parent ruleset, to repurposed/generic miniatures.

I also made up a lot of stat cards for Skelebots & Terra Force for FL years ago. I'll dig them up if you are interested.

Here is part of it; dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2320000/CW%20tests/FL-TF.zipOne of the nice things about the SBH system is the editable force and weapon builders, they're available in the SBH yahoo group files section and at Ganesha Games site. I made custom Arsenal builders for my forces, when I find those and the Skelebot cards I'll add them in.

this is a little preview of one of the my many ongoing projects: 20mm infinity standees to use with Toposolitario vehicle and scenery, scaled accordingly ( by simply printing them 2 pages per sheet) Pictures came from the personal blog of Angel Fernandez, official Infinity painter, so, you need to find no one for the pics ;-). cherno... The post on lead-adventure is really useful, thank you.

I was working on a collection of MRRF minis here cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/thread/6072/infinityunfortunately most of my projects have gone on an indefinite hiatus... It doesn't help that the squad I was making was before all the recent edition/rules/points changes. as far as thoughts, even though it's died in my community, I love the game. There's so much tactical flexibility, and hundreds of ways to tackle a single problem. No army is going to deal with another in the same way. I'm also a big fan of skirmish level battles, so this really does it for me. The big issue which it seems like they've been trying to address is with their tournament rules absolutely requiring "specialist" models to obtain objectives, however if you're looking to play for fun and/or creating house scenarios anyway, it's not an issue at all. I highly recommend it. edit: on the subject of vehicles - any rules for vehicles outside of being immobile terrain is house ruled, CB has stated that they don't intend to introduce vehicle rules to the game (outside of the TAGs and bikes) because they don't want the scale of the game to change. that being said, there are house rules out there if you're willing to dig. (i don't have them, but I've seen them used before).
