Greetings from the DC Beltway

[CState]

Tabletop's been something I've been trying to get into for literally a decade.

Introduced to Infinity through a friend who had a half-finished Pano starter kit laying around. Nice aesthetic, great looking models, easily available rules and I can get a playable force going without slaving away for years painting a hundred models and/or selling my kidney? I'm in.

I'm pretty much starting from scratch here, trying to make my purchases and painting decisions as informed as possible. Looking to build up a force of either:

Yu Jing - I can get past the, well, "P.F. Chang"-ness of the fluff surrounding this faction (even as second-gen ethnic chinese with gradeschool level mandarin, some of the stuff makes me facepalm), with the fact that imo it's got the coolest looking minis out of any tabletop system I've seen, and lots of heavy infantry is an appealing playstyle.

Nomads - Nice backstory, very relatable without being "[INSERT_ETHNICITY] IN SPAAACE." Hacking seems interesting, and I really like the look of their TAGs.

End of long-winded intro. I'll be poking around, mostly lurking and making a few posts here or there. If anyone's aware of any good places in DC/Northern Virginia to get my game on, that'd be a real motivation to get painting.

Welcome welcome!

With what you've said, I'd highly recommend you start in with Yu Jing. It sounds like a faction you'll enjoy. Be mindful that it's rather difficult to get lists composed entirely of Heavy Infantry, though. Don't neglect your less armored resources!

Sorry that I can't immediately suggest an area to play, but you should check out the "WGC Infinity" Facebook group and ask around on there, too.

If you have the desire to paint models, you can see my signature for Data-Sphere's painting campaign. The current season's submission period is already over, but you can look forward to the next season that starts up in July!
