***July Monthly Challenge - The Sky is Falling

This month we want you to make your opponent scared of the very sky their toy soldiers fight under and focus on bringing Troops that are the epitome in attack vector exploitation, Drop Troops.

That's right, this month we challenge you to build lists focused on troops with the combat jump skill. A skill that is both loved and maligned in equal measure we want to hear about how you reminded your opponent to keep their head on a swivel.

Let us know the way in which a unit was able to punch through a small hole in your opponent’s defences or how you spent 50+ points on drop units, only to have them land in your DZ. How has this changed your approach to the list building in your faction? Tell us everything!

As always, send in your reports and analysis to us at [email protected]

Random winner will be chosen at the end of the month to win a blister of their choice from TSI

***Q3 Hobby Challenge - Narrative Story***

Continuing LoL’s drive to get people into the creative side of Infinity, for quarter three we are asking our listeners to write us a short narrative story.

The infinity universe has a rich and diverse background, with so many source books to choose from, and with Endsong round the corner, it’s a perfect time to create some new stories from the Human Sphere!

Is there a unit or character in your army who has performed so heroically over the course of multiple games they deserve to have a story written about them?

Or is there a piece of background you’ve read or heard about that's just crying out to be expanded?

Well now’s your chance to express yourself through the written word.

Please try to stick to a limit of no more than 2000 words, as these are supposed to be short stories.

Alternatively, a 10 minute audio recording would also be welcome.

Send your submission to [email protected]

At the end of the quarter we will pick our favorites and give them the White Noise treatment of reading them out on the show!

A random entry will win a small box set of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!

Good luck!
