The other mini games

In addition to Infinity I've been playing Warhammer 40K 8th Edition and Age of Sigmar 2nd. I've tried a game of Kill Team and it seemed good, but the group I want to play with is on the same night as the regular Infinity group.

 

Darklands: https://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=cat&cre=dkl
I got into Infinity because of the great minis, stayed because I liked the game. I got into Darklands because of the great minis as well (though a bit fiddly to assemble), and so far I've been loving the game! If I manage to gather enough interest in our club's players, I might just turn it into my main game.

 

Speaking of Frostgrave, I was really pumped about Rangers of Shadow Deep until I saw it’s $20 for a pdf file. That’s the only thing that’s kept me from getting This is not a Test.

 

Currently it's ONLY infinity for me - but I've dug out some old necromunda figures (for something to paint) since locally there's been a small resurgence in that game. Also waiting for "Reality's edge" to get published by Osprey (cyberpunk skirmish miniatures, an "agnostic" set - use whatever genre miniatures you have for it sort of game).

That said, I don't NEED to game with them, that's a bonus.

 

Zombicide black plague by cmon, it's a board game dungeon crawler type rpgish medieval co-op fantasy game, great for chilled out gaming, minis are nice too!

 

I played black plague and liked it, and then backed Invader on Kickstarter.

As for wargames, I play:
Malifaux: Lilith; Titania, Viktorias, Von Schill;
Batman, the Miniatures Game: Gotham City Sirens;
Looking to get into the new A Song of Ice and Fire Wargame too, probably gonna play Lannister.

I have a friend who says I always play board control heavy armies, so it's odd that my main infinity army has next to nill board control.

 

Let's see here...

Infinity
40k (and Kill Team)
Age of Sigmar Lizards
Flames of War
Batman (if the guys get back into it)
Ambush Alley (15mm modern skirmish)
Colonials (1897 Pathan Revolt on the Northwest Frontier, may cross into Victorian SciFi at some point)
Heavy Gear
Jovian Chronicles (or other gundam-like games)

 

I've been playing X-Wing 2.0 on a semi regular basis since August and it's reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the game after 1.0 got so bloated. Not having to paint the miniatures is a massive bonus.

If I'd stayed in the UK I'd have probably got very deep into Bolt Action, it really scratches an itch in terms of engagement size.

 

Necromunda (Goliath)
Malifaux (Neverborns)

Sold off all my Skaven and Warmachine. Former was due to AoS, latter was... :)

 

I like most people came into game with 40K thanks to the Dawn of War games. Left for Warmahordes after GW went a bit anti-competitive for international customers. Also helped that warmahordes launched their 2 army box (Menoth v Khador). Transitioned from Warmahordes to Infinity during the poor transition to MK3.

Sold all my 40k by now except for some NIB eldar stuff no one wants to buy. Warmahordes I'm still holding onto but I really should sell it on given I haven't had a game in like 2 years...

 

I still own a mechanized company of Imperial Guard for WH40k as well as a bunch of Space Wolves. Also quite a lot of Khador and Legion of Everblight for Warmahordes. Haven't played any of those for a long while.
Infinity got me into skirmishers and since I don't like to paint lots of nearly same models, I have two crews for Freebooter's Fate (Amazons and Imperials) and two Warbands for Bushido.
I also have very roughly drawn up rules for a weird Infinity/X-Wing/Battletech hybrid to get more playtime out of my TAGs.

 

I'm trying to get Dwarf Fantasy army going. (either for old 8th ed or 9th age or whatever fan balanced version is being played in area).

 

I've got Orks for 40k, Savage Wave for Bushido and a frostgrave warband on the go.

But, like infinity, I don't actually play any games with them

 

Actually I only played my first Infinity games a few weeks ago (so far I only paint Infinity) and really I like it but I need to find time to play it more.
Lately I'm more involved in Blood Red Skies (WWII planes squadron fight).
One of our group member makes play intensively Son Of Mars and we should have a full "campaign" soon. It's a gladiator rule-set (you can play with any mini you want). It is fast and very cinematic.
We stopped playing Deadzone and Dreadball lately but we'll sure have a new campaign and championship at one time or another.
The next mini game I may start will be Gates of Antares.

EDIT:
Not pure mini games but board games with minis I'd like to play more:
- GKR Heavy Hitter
- Massive Darkness
Shame both are a bit of a pain to bring to FLGS (8 kg each, damn you KickStarter)

 

Well, it does say massive in the name

Spoiler

 

Indeed.
And the second one says Giant Killer Robots. Plus those minis are... well... not so mini.

 

Currently I only play Infinity and Board games. I am tempted to play Bushido and Company of Iron (CoI). But the local groups are fairly set in their usual games. I was able to get a couple games of CoI in but it was against just 1 player who dropped it. Bushido looks cool but hard to find models in my area which makes it impossible to get a group together.

 

Bushido's supposed to be getting a new edition of the rules soon(tm), so might be worth waiting a little bit anyway

 

Games I actively play at the moment (specifically only Mini wargames, boardgames is a whole other story):
Infinity.
Arena Rex.

Stuff I also have on:
Necrofinity (a version of necromunda using the Infinity rules I keep meaning to actually publicize but need to take some stock gang photos first)
2nd Ed 40k (I went through my books a short while ago and remembered how fun it was)
Marvel (specifically a ruleset using the now discontinued knight models before they published their ruleset)

Stuff I want the opportunity to play:
Open Combat

Stuff I also have around but am not nessecarily using at the moment and are biding their time:
Dystopian Wars and Legions
Firestorm Armada and planetfall
A small 40k Black crusade and a reasonably sized hive fleet in hibernation until the rules are better.

Stuff I should probably get shot of:
Warzone Ressurection, (Cybertronic)
Hordes (legion)
Dropzone Commander (Squirge)
WFB (Chaos and Lizards) probably used for open combat
Alien Vs Predator (I only got it for the models)
