I haven't properly expressed how cool it is that @tinkerhousegames.com is sponsoring my August Ottawa Infinity tournament. Card terrain is great, but has limitations. Give me a moment to explain how Tinkerturf transcends them. 🧵1/ tyler.provick.ca/posts/best-i... #infinitythegame #wargameterrain

#infinitythegame has earned a reputation that can intimidate new players. Complexity is a feature, not a bug, but all games need new players. How do you bridge that gap? Tell me: What helped you to start the game you play and get over that learning curve all games have? #miniaturewargaming

Monday is the swag deadline for tickets for the Ottawa Gaming Convention. Convention organizers are buying goodies for the swag bag (and booking space and tables) based on the number of ticket sales by June 15th, so get in there to get your goodies. tyler.provick.ca/pages/ottawa... #infinitythegame

Finished the scrub wash. Somehow managed to leave huge blotches in places. Left to cure for 2 days and varnished today. EdoKanto building from @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social to be used for #infinitythegame #terrain #minipainting

The June 15th early deadline for the Ottawa Gaming Convention Infinity Tournament is fast approaching. Make sure you get your tickets sooner than later to lock in some cool swag. tyler.provick.ca/posts/ottawa... #infinitytheuniverse #infinitythegame #ottawa #miniatures

This August I'm running an #infinitythegame tournament at the Ottawa Gaming Convention. But what is the venue? tyler.provick.ca/posts/ottawa... Sponsored by @corvusbelli.bsky.social and @tinkerhousegames.com

Important changes regarding the Infinity Tournament at the Ottawa Gaming Convention in August. We really need people to buy their tickets sooner than later. Details here: tyler.provick.ca/posts/ottawa... #infinitythegame #tournament #ottawa #scifi #miniwargaming

Working on EdoKanto apartment from @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social for use in #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social We're almost on the last step, which is a scrub wash. It's taking a long time but realistically is an army work of surface area so I'm now sweating it. #minipainting #terrain

Infinity fans, come to my tournament in August! It's a 2-day 5-round event at the end of August in Ottawa, Canada. We have everything - patches, prizes, loot bags, sponsors, early signup bonuses, Infinity, good times. #infinitythegame @corvusbelli.bsky.social tyler.provick.ca/pages/ottawa... Please

I am planning an Infinity tournament this August in Ottawa. I want to blow the roof off the venue and selling out early would do that. So, I'm giving away a custom terrain piece to everyone who signs up before July 31st. tyler.provick.ca/posts/ottawa... #infinitytheuniverse @corvusbelli.bsky.social

Terrain is #infinitythegame. I'm thrilled to announce that @tinkerhousegames.com is sponsoring my Infinity Tournament this August. Bring a table to the event for a chance to win a TinkerTurf terrain prize pack! tyler.provick.ca/posts/best-i... @corvusbelli.bsky.social #terrain #miniaturewargame

My absolute favorite battle report creator has released a beginner friendly batrep for @corvusbelli.bsky.social 's new #infinitythegame Operations Box, Mazebreaker. youtu.be/ltvbms-cCYs #minipainting #miniaturewargame #battlereport #scifi #cyberpunk

Reveals for Operation Mazebreaker, @corvusbelli.bsky.social 's new 2 player pack for #infinitythegame is flooding my feed. I'll take a look at the contents and give my thoughts soon. In the meantime, here's a collection of links to the content. tyler.provick.ca/posts/operat... #cyberpunk #scifi

An important update, having one book for everything is great. Printable would be nice

Airbrushes make painting terrain faster, but at a certain volume, and especially for priming, they are not efficient. I still hate spray cans. What if brushing on gesso is the way to go? tyler.provick.ca/posts/gesso-... #minipainting #terrain #infinitythegame

@corvusbelli.bsky.social has announced a new global narrative campaign for #infinitythegame They usually involve playing custom missions and submitting game results, with the actions in the campaign changing the story of the game. infinityuniverse.com/blog/the-mon... #miniaturewargames #scifi

2h14m of masking later, still not done, and some of the masks are so wonky that freehanding straight lines with a brush would have been better. Apartment from @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social EdoKanto set. Being painted for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #terrain

Acrylic airbrushing people, how long do you wait after laying down a colour before masking over it? Signed, someone terrified of peeling. Terrain by @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social I'm using for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #terrain

Getting hyped for Mazebreaker, even though I shouldn't. Yes, half the box is on-faction for me. Yes, I can probably get it early. Yes, I'll like a special boy with early access demo'ing the latest thing. What was I saying? youtube.com/shorts/Qg13u... #infinitytheuniverse @corvusbelli.bsky.social

I am running an Infinity tournament at the Ottawa Gaming Convention in August and Corvus Belli has stepped up to provide prized and goodies for demos. tyler.provick.ca/posts/corvus... @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitytheuniverse #infinitythegame #miniaturewargame #ottawa

I am learning so much as a first time event organizer. This August, I am running a 2-day 5-round Infinity tournament. I just spent the last hour giving what I hope was convincing pitches to potential sponsors. tyler.provick.ca/pages/ottawa... #infinitythegame @corvusbelli.bsky.social 🧵1/7

same applies to miniature painters - don't strip old models while you have stuff unpainted unless you got a particular reason!

#infinitythegame uses a lot of terrain. Painting it all can really eat through expensive hobby paint, so I thought I'd try something different. tyler.provick.ca/posts/painti... #minipainting #terrain

This August a new convention is coming to Ottawa. I'm going to run the biggest #infinitythegame tournament I possibly can. Fortunately my blog's been overhauled, so I don't have to fit everything into 300 characters. tyler.provick.ca/posts/a-new-... @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniaturewargame

Interested in Infinity, or cyberpunk skirmish wargaming in general? On May 16th at 1pm Trinity Hobbies will be hosting the monthly Infinity meetup. It is a free and open event where anyone can show up and be guaranteed a game. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitythegame #miniaturewargaming 1/2

Finished the scrub wash on the EdoKanto Fusion Ramen shop from @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social for my #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social table. The Liquitex Basics I was using worked well enough but had some issues. Thinking of switching to Golden Fluid. #minipainting #terrain

It's 7pm, do you know where your demo of #infinitythegame is happening? If you are in Ottawa, Canada, it is as Red Dragon Comics in Orleans. Here till 9pm @corvusbelli.bsky.social #skirmish #miniaturewargame #cyberpunk red-dragon.ca

Painting some @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social new EdoKanto terrain. I started last week on Thursday and this palette has been open on my desk since then. The paint is all still workable - only the black has absorbed a bit too much water. #minipainting #terrain #infinitythegame

I'm neurotypical afaik but I sometimes debate whether I want to climb the stairs in the dark so all the switches are flipped the same way. The left switch is the stair light which is also controlled by a switch upstairs.

Basing complete. I put marking tape on the base leaving the stem clear, drew around the rim and then scanned it with a ruler to find the exact spot of stem and used it as a template. Nomad Gopod for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi #cyberpunk

Everything but the base is done on these miniatures. I think I'm doing a decoupage base with a printed texture from Unit 9. Gopod and Gobot for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi #cyberpunk #vehicles #miniaturewargame

If it had been any other faction's flyer, I would have been able to play with it at this past Saturday's Infinity day. Alas, I still have the GoBot to paint. #infinitythegame @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting

This Saturday we had 12 players come out for our Infinity day. Made me so happy to see so many people out playing. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitythegame #minigaming #skirmish #scifi

I have absolutely 0 idea why I decided to paint the pilot last, but I did. Only her boot hardward and the gun remains. Also the Gobot. ALSO basing. @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social Gopod for #infinitythegame #minipainting #miniatures

Completed everything except the pilot. There's also a small robot that flies along waiting to be painted. Not sure what I'm doing with the base - kinda want to just leave it black. These things are meant to be flying. Nomad Gopod from #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting

Finished the red on this GoPod for #infinitythegame. I spent so much effort masking the red and yellow knowing I'd mess it up later. It was mostly a practice. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi

I am a writer. Unpublished, unaccomplished. Don't take my advice but... If the two options are "writing some words" and "writing no words" then quality and quantity are not part of the conversation. Ignore them until "writing some words" is the baseline and go from there.

Continuing work on my GoPod. It feels slow, but that's mostly because I've been skipping painting sessions. It helps to break this down in sections but I cannot pretend I am immune to "big model intimidation" @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitythegame #minipainting

Mid-way through a game of B-pong for #infinitythegame The Szalamandra TAG in the foreground was the woman of the match but fell in the end of a single Combi shot from a Fennec Fusilier. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniatures #miniwargaming

Second nacelle of this #infinitythegame Gopod painted. Each is a separate session mixing colours from scratch. Any slightly differences will be resolved at the end with glazes. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi #cyberpunk #skirmish

Last week was March Break, so I spent my normal painting time with my wife instead, who took the week off. This week I'm back painting the #infinitythegame GoPod from @corvusbelli.bsky.social Breaking it into sections for my sanity #minipainting

Interested in trying a miniatures game? In Ottawa? Free right now? Come play #infinitythegame at red-dragon.ca tonight! #miniaturewargame #cyberpunk #skirmish #scifi #ottawa @corvusbelli.bsky.social

Played my first full game of Go in maybe a decade at the #ottawagoclub Last minute impulse to play facilitated by Baduk Club. Pictured is another game, I didn't think to take a picture of mine. #baduk #surroundinggame #uottawa

Shikami for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social This is a LE sculpt that I only bought because it came with Mary Problems. However, I have a "paint everything you buy" policy so it got painted. #minipainting #skirmish #cyberpunk

There are two extremes when it comes to palette selection. On one side is my limited palette. On the other is only using colours straight from the bottle. I recently watched a video demonstrating this and felt a "grass is greener" moment I want to discuss. #minipainting #colourtheory 1/11

Second session on the dark purple. The changes are subtle for an hour spent so this is where I'm going to leave it. For tabletop it's good to recognize when something is good enough and move on. Nomad GoPod for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi #cyberpunk

Ohh, it feels so good to dig into the rendering. Still rough. I need to make another pass where I reinforce shadows and properly edge highlight, then I'll evaluate if anything needs to be smoothed. Gopod for #infinitythegame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #cyberpunk #skirmish

Painting the #infinitythegame Gopod. Thought I'd lean into the vehicle aspect by basecoating with an airbrush, but got frustrated and returned to the brush. Thread explains why @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #scifi #cyberpunk 1/5
