A New Infinty Starter: Operation Red Veil
Greetings and salutations! SeerK here to talk Infinity. Gencon is coming up quick and Corvus Belli has been dropping some hints about the Gencon releases over the past two weeks. It looks like we are going to be getting a new two player starter set. An Operation Ice Storm like box that will contain Yu Jing and Haqqislam. Although the exact contents are not known the teaser pictures shows six individuals on the side of Yu Jing and five on Haqqislam. The sixth member of the Haqq team gets his own teaser. We also have one actual picture that was leaked that appears to be the fifth member of the Haqq team. The Ahl Faseed.

Origins 2016: After Report (Warning Pic Heavy!)
Greetings all! Telarion and I survived Origins. We are back home and getting unpacked. I have to say I spent way to much in the vendor hall this year. I picked up a bunch of Infinity stuff and picked up some Guildball as well. I had a demo and it was very fun. Look for some future articles on Guildball as I play and explore the game with the Battle Creek and K-Zoo crews. I also got tempted back into Warmachine. The deal they had for the MK3 starter boxes was nice and I could not resist.
The events we ran at the convention also did very well. We had well over 30 people participate in the Learn to Play Firestorm Armada classes. The tournament turnout for the Columbus Incident and the Columbus Brawl I.T.S were not great, but both events fired.
I want to congratulate our winners and thank all the participants. Blood in the sun being on the same weekend as Origins was a big factor me thinks. I am really hoping that the events do not overlap next year so I can attend both and hopefully get some more players. Lets look at our winners!

Maximum Spider: The Relthoza "Cruise Dozer"
Greetings denizens of Aziza Prime! SeerK here to talk Relthoza in Firestorm Armada. Specifically I am going to be talking about my list development at the Patrol and Battle Fleet levels. The events taking place at the Nova Open this year got me thinking. Since I am not running things at Nova I have the opportunity to play. Bill and Mike are giving us a whole slew of events at Nova this year and I am planning on playing in at least one of them. The Singles GT tournament on Saturday of Nova is what I am planning on playing in. This is an 800 point 4 round tournament. This presents a little bit of a challenge. You can do quite a bit at 800 points, but playing in a competitive environment and the nature of the missions dictates your selections. I have a few thoughts and potential lists to share. The Relthoza have gotten quite a boost with the addition of the Task Force ships. The new fleet guides have also opened up a ton of new possibilities in terms of fleet building. You can put a lot of hull points on the table now, even in smaller games. his has changed the meta, especially in at the home base of the Michigan Crew Lets take a look!
