INFINITY: Operation Icestorm

 

Operation Icestorm & Beyond Icestorm

I got this set as it was going out of production so that I'd have the full 10 mini action packs for Pano and Nomads (not sure if a Pano one will be released but I hope so as it would be a shame to lose access to these nice minis).  Even though I began collecting infinity with JSA it was the Icestorm set with these two factions that got hooked me into wanting to explore Infinity.  

I think the miniatures are great and so Iconic of Infinity and as a painter it's wonderful to have such variety to paint and a as a player it's handy that these sets are a decent army right of  the bat. I remember being perplexed at first that I didn't need 10 man squads of the same guys over and over to collect or play, but then, after understanding the Infinity fluff of "Direct Action" conflicts involving mixed units of troops with the right tools for the job, it was such a relief to be able to paint, collect and play with a wide variety minis and it is much harder to get bored.

I finished painting this set (along with updating my Nomads to make them more interesting) during one week at the very tail end of 2020.  It was a tough but rewarding paint session and a fitting end to my hobbying in 2020, that was a year that had its boon of much more time  for painting during the lockdowns.  I'm just lucky that I've been able to work from home and that the Pandemic has been successfully managed in Australia making it a relatively stress free time.
