Mass Effect Miniatures: Asari Commando (Infinity)

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to show off my Asari I just made. As you know I have been addicted to the mass effect multiplayer. I have been putting together miniatures to do mass effect themed skirmish battles. Here is what I have for now! Please forgive the camera glare and such, I took it from my Lg-Quantum phone on top of a coffee cup. /sigh

Top images are the source material from Mass effect and various artists. The bottom pictures are my converted Agulaciles Nomad from Infinity the game!

HP Wireless Keyboard No longer Recognized by Touchpad

Hey guys,

So I had a problem where my touchpad no longer recognized my bluetooth keyboard. Here is how to fix it. Essentially you have to re-pair the keyboard.

1. Turn the keyboard off, that is the button is to the left if the keyboard is facing down

2. Go to the bluetooth settings

3. Go to + Add device and select keyboard

4. NOW switch the power on, that is the switch should be to the right if the keyboard is down

5. It will find it again, click pair

Yea took me a long time to figure it out since it was already listed under devices but greyed out

Kingdom Death - Miniature Review

Okay first I have to say I hate Kingdom Death.... why? BECAUSE ADAM POOTS (owner of KD) MAKES ME BROKE.

Recently, I have pretty much purchased every miniature in the line. They are really expensive. But Really, really cool! I love the ideas and world he is trying to create. The concepts for the miniatures are very dark and twisted!

The Forsaker Pictured Below

The Wet Nurse

So how are the miniatures? Well they are all cast out of resin for the most part (you can get metal versions of some). Very detailed and a lot of fun to paint. They are slightly taller than your standard 28mm or 32mm running at 35mm.

So lets break it down real quick:

Pros -

• Miniatures look awesome.
• Packaging and Presentation is top of the line
• Comes with concept art and collectors cards

Cons -

• A Bunch of the Miniatures are collectors editions at the moment and it is hard to get a hold of them (see the Wet nurse!)
• Expensive (KD Minis run from 25-90$)
• Delicate, I have pretty much broken EVERY weapon that came with the miniature unintentionally. I also had a really bad cast with the pinup forsaker, lower half of her face was missing, but I resculpted it and now it is fine.
