"Train hopping, laser blasting, loot stealing action! Welcome to Rail Raiders Infinite! As one of six spacey gunslingers, you'll jump from car to car in an all-out heist for the biggest haul of double-dollars. But not so fast there, pardner! Lawbots are bent on stopping you in your tracks. Using unique abilities and sharp-shooting dice, you and your fellow raiders must destroy the bots, profit double-dollars, and snag the most loot before the train reaches the station." - Rail Raiders Infinite Rules, Page 3

[Log] Rail Raiders Infinite - Double-Dollars and Bases

For Rail Rail Raiders Infinite, I have been working on the Double-Dollar coins, determining the best way to remove the miniatures from their bases, and researching what type of base texture to use for this sci-fi western game.

Double-Dollars

Unpainted and Painted Double-Dollars Tokens

My first goal was to paint the Double-Dollar tokens, the currency and victory condition for winning in the Rail Raiders Infinite game. These coins have a considerable amount of detail that is somewhat hard to distinguish and appreciate in its unpainted form. A simple paint job really brings out the details. The mmber on the coins were painted with a lighter/brighter color compared to the rest of the coin.

[Log] Rail Raiders Infinite - Outline

This is the start of my project log for Ninja Division's Rail Raiders Infinite. This is a space western competitive board game, pitting raiders (gray miniatures) against each other for loot on a space train. To impede the Raiders are the Lawbots (blue miniatures).

For the most part, the miniatures and overall aesthetic is quite adorable. The rules are not overly complicated making it more accessible for a gaming group with a wide age range. Thus, even before I received my Kickstarter pledge for this game, I decided to prioritize painting the game pieces to play with the nephews and nieces.

Those that pledged for the complete product line received a total of 70 miniatures with 32 unique sculpts (20 Raiders and 50 Lawbots). Below I outlined the order I will attempt to completely paint all the Rail Raiders Infinite gaming components.

[Games] Rail Raiders Infinite - Train Cars and Cards Index

Last updated on January 15, 2018. In the expansions for Rail Raiders Infinite, the page inserts gave two options on how to incorporate the expansion cards and train cars into the core game.

The first option "is to replace original cards and cars with train cars and cards from [the expansions] before you start playing. When you make this swap, you must remove all of one type of card or car and replace them with a type of card or car with an equal number of cards. So, to use a Loot card from [the expansions] that has two copies, you must remove an original Loot card that has two copies."

The second option is to "add all of the cars and cards from [the expansions] to their respecitve decks and just play with larger decks and a bigger pool of train cars."

Below,  I have compiled a master list of the train cars and cards to help facilitate swapping them out.

My Hobby and Blog in April 2016

For the month of April, I accomplished very little and saw my hobby streak finally ended at 93 days. I spent the month mostly despruing plastic parts from miniature kits and following Kickstarters, specifically Rail Raiders Infinite and Rum & Bones Second Tide. The little I did worked on miniatures was adding shield emblems to ten Orc Warriors from Battle Masters. Lastly, I received the new rubber texture stamp line from Happy Seppuku, I am currently trying them out with different putties.
