Oh sweet! As Rodimus might put it:

Thanks as ever @mage for hosting and keeping everyone engaged 🙂 and fair does to everyone else for getting involved, and I second @limburgers sentiment ;D

Just to answer some of @mages questions:

The Heroines box is one of two alternatives Asset Drop offer alongside their monthly Core Supplies box (as unboxed by the indomitable Mr Lyons a few months ago). Instead of the focus on a selection of paints and hobby  goodies, the Heroines box offers up a nice female mini (or two), a resin base, some basing goodies (ammo shells and the such like) and a set of paints for a very specific part of the model supplied, along with a little hobby booklet offering up some background on the model, were the components came from and ideas for using the items included. Not bad really 🙂

As to Andromeda in  Infinity she is one of the heroes of the Homeride, the elite warriors of Alephs Assault Sub-Section(otherwise known as the Steel Phalanx). Andromeda’s full title is that of Sophiste of the Steel Phalanx, and amongst the likes of Achilles, Penthesilea, Hector, Ajax, Thrasamydes Phoenix & Patrocles stands out as  not being a smash-face combat monster, but instead filling the archetype of The Spy

Two interesting little asides –

First that beast that accompanies her? Cestus? yeah he normally takes the form of a briefcase Andromeda carries on her at ll times O_o

Second in mythology Andromeda is the princess who eventually marries the hero Perseus. And Perseus exists now in the Infinity universe as he is a member of the recently released Jurisdictional Command of Tunguska, described as a “Rogue Myrmidon”. Now  I’m  not saying anything but Corvus Belli tend not to just throw these sorts of names out there for jollies….

Other stuff I thought to mention:

Just saw Ant-Man and The Wasp – awesome  film.  After the weight of Infinity War scaling things back and adding a lighter touch is a wonderful pallet cleanser.

Started reading the latest two Battletech novellas that came out yesterday on Kindle, finally moving the narrative beyond the Dark Age/Age of Destruction and I can’t wait 😉

Speaking of Kindle, Idon;t know if they are still on offer but a crop of Brandon Sandersons Cosmere books are on offer for £0.99 each – the first three books of The Stormlight Archive (The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance and Oathbringer) and the first five Mistborn books. Frankly that’s a crazy amount of fiction for not much money at all…
