Sorry for not updating last week, dunno what got into me.
Either way, I've been pretty busy with playing Orcs Must Die! 2 and getting together two sets of Apartment 5 from Micro Art Studios, as well as getting some gaming in. Had a grand total of four games of Infinity yesterday too, which felt great!
Either way, first thing's first, and that's Orcs Must Die!
So, I recently bought this game, and it's simply a blast!
Basically, you play as either The War Mage or The Sorceress, and run around shooting Orcs FPS style... While you place traps! Basically, Orcs Must Die is the bastard child of FPS and Tower Defence, and for any TD lovers out there, you'll love this too. The story isn't rather involving or deep, you don't get much diversity in your gameplay, but you get A LOT of traps to put out in the best possible way, given the map you're playing on. And since it's 3D, traps are placeable on both walls, floor and ceiling. You see arrows flying out of walls against the oncoming horde of Orcs as some of them flies away due to your spring traps whilst you pepper them with blunderbuss fire, listening to their screams of "ALL MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH AGONYYY!".
In layman's term, I love this game and recommend it to any player who know that they love playing Tower Defence.
Now, let's move on to Infinity. Sadly I haven't been able to paint more, which I really ought to be doing, but anyway... Instead I built some terrain!
No, sadly, that's not mine. I'm not that good. I just wanted to discuss HDF terrain a little with you.
First, these apartments are amazing! Really beautiful, love 'em and they're perfect for Infinity. However... If you get these, you might find these tips useful:
Make sure you've cut everything out good, and that when you put them together you put them ALL THE WAY together. It's really easy to just push it 1 cm too short and it has some bad effects. Also, make sure you know what parts of the house are supposed to be up, and what parts are supposed to be down. I didn't make sure, so heh. Eh.
And finally, painting the damn thing. You need a real primer, so GW spray won't do. Also, even a primer might be insufficient as the house is made out of wood, and wood absorbs liquid. So my advice is to first spray it with some kind of varnish or a thing layer of PVA glue perhaps, anything that'll coat the wood in a layer for the paint to grip on to. And if you want it white, spray it grey first. That'll get you good. If you don't, well, joke's on you as you'll be the one redoing the spray more than you want to. I know I did.
But I've gotten them good now! They're not painted, but all roofs and doors are sprayed grey and everything else white, so they're good to go when it comes to gaming! Sadly I cannot upload pictures at the moment, but I'm sure to do that when I'm able to!
Hope this was informational, and until next time...
Happy Gaming!
