MDF Terrain - Stage 1 (Organising)

I am working on both sci fi and Japanese terrain to finish two projects. I opted against the pizza box technique for the sci fi as I thought the walkways, piping and grates etc would be too fiddly.

So I bought my first laser cut mdf terrain (TTC cos its cheap and I'm poor). This will speed things up, right?  Sweet summer child. 

An hour or so later:

Are we there yet?

I then read the box time estimate. The diagram is either "set aside an afternoon" or "you're in for the long haul." Lucky I'm on holidays or there would have been swearwords. You do get a lot of stuff for $30USD/$50AUD.

I used the bits of MDG sprue to decorate my Tohaa bases. That takes my Infinity painted minis count to 40 for the week and ticks off another faction. Mercs, Ariadna, Aleph, Yu Jing, Tohaa all finalized.  Pan O, Haqq, and Nomads still to go.  This burst of painting is sponsored by Zone Raiders as I finally have sci fi rules I can play with my kid. The game is also responsible for my terrain purchase, as my usual stuff lacks the verticality needed for the game where wall running, power jumps and grappling is commonplace.

I can pretty these bases up with washes, highlights and maybe some wire pipes, but they look serviceable with just a gunmetal basecoat. Waste not want not!

I'm also mentally preparing myself for superhero gaming as my kids, after years of being indifferent to Marvel etc, are suddenly "into" superhero stuff. Luckily I have a secret stash of rebased Heroclix so this may not be as wallet-damaging as you'd expect...
