Q2 Challenge announcement - You + Me = Carnage

With our transition to longer form challenges, we are finding that people are more likely to engage with both parts of the challenge or not at all. So, we here at Loss of Lieutenant have decided to merge the hobby and gaming challenges! We will still be rewarding two entrants with prizes, picked with a rigorous selection method (welcome to our special guest judge - a random number generator!). You'll get more entries depending on how you adhere to the challenge and the amount of blood sweat and tears you put in (note - please don't work that hard, it's supposed to be fun).

It's time for our annual exploration of an underrated and underutilised part of the Infinity ruleset - the Fireteam Duo! Have you got a duo that you love? Do a couple of your silver surfers stare longingly at each from across the pile of shame? Have you never experienced the power of a Su Jian duo'd with anything in Yu Jing? Now's your chance. This quarter, we want you to paint and play a fireteam duo! Extra points will be given to those who tie their duo team in together somehow with a unique secondary colour or decal etc.

Send your photos and gameplay reports in as a google doc to [email protected]

One lucky random winner and random runner up will be chosen to receive a small box and blister respectively from the Infinity range, from a retailer to be determined.
