There’s something deeply reassuring about the way gaming brings people together. Not just through competition, or lists, or tournament results, but through the quieter things: late nights painting rooftops by hand, long drives to events with friends and family, the shared excitement of seeing a table come alive under neon lights and dense terrain. Few people embody that spirit quite like Jennie ‘DethKatt.’
Jennie, her husband Matt, and their daughter Cassie have built Infinity into something much larger than a game. It’s a family tradition, a creative outlet, and a way to stay connected through every stage of life. Between the three of them, they own nearly the entire Infinity range. Jennie plays PanOceania (especially Military Orders) while collecting O-12 and Haqqislam. Cassie fields Ariadna (“Bears!”), and Matt naturally has ‘everything else.’
Like many longtime Infinity players, their story started with the miniatures. But it wasn’t just the miniatures or the rules that made the game special. It was the tables.
The terrain was always so diverse, and the fact that the models were actually able to interact with the terrain was so great.
That fascination eventually became a passion project all its own. After attending Arizona Armageddon in 2019 and seeing the incredible tournament tables on display, Jennie dove headfirst into terrain building. What began with cardboard scenery and Battle Systems kits eventually evolved into fully realized immersive tables built around the modular Cosmica line from Warsenal. When the pandemic of 2020 came, Jennie suddenly found herself with unexpected time at home. She taught herself to airbrush and began transforming MDF terrain into vibrant, thematic battlefields. Today, she has created multiple fully painted tables, including a neon Las Vegas-inspired desert board, a crystalline alien landscape glowing with purple energy, and a detailed JSA cityscape complete with painstakingly hand-painted roof lines.
This is Jennie’s JSA table and yes, every single one of those roof lines was worth it. What stands out most about Jennie’s terrain isn’t simply the technical quality. It’s the care. Every table feels intentional and lived-in. Cohesive color palettes, subtle weathering, iconography, subtle markings, and painstakingly blended highlights all work together to create spaces that feel believable inside the Infinity universe.
That care has not gone unnoticed. Jennie has won multiple Best Table awards and donated several full tables to the community, including terrain for Sin City Smackdown, the Silicon Valley meta, and even a replacement table for a player who lost his collection in the Northern California fires.
Jennie’s Cosmica Table.
Jennie’s work caught the attention of Jay from Warsenal, who watched her transform the Cosmica terrain line into something instantly recognizable as her own. What struck him wasn’t just the quality of the painting, it was the energy she brought to the community around it. In recognition of that (and because today just so happens to be her birthday) the team at Warsenal created a Limited Edition “DethKatt” version of the Cosmica set inspired by her work, a fitting tribute to someone who helped show just how cinematic and alive Infinity tables could feel in the hands of a passionate hobbyist.
Jennie is the kind of person who makes being a professional artist so rewarding. As a designer, you hope the things you create will inspire people, but Jennie takes that to another level. She brings her own ideas, personality, and creativity to our pieces, making them feel fresh, unique, and alive in a new way. Seeing someone else bring something more to your work is truly remarkable.
We call her the Queen of Cosmica, and we’re always delighted when her name comes up in the queue. Meeting her in person at events confirmed what we saw from her delightful kitty posts: she is caring, generous, and incredibly talented. A paragon of the community, and just a cool person to know. -Jay
Those kitty posts are indeed delightful.
As much as terrain has become her signature, the heart of Jennie’s Infinity story is still her family. Cassie has grown into the hobby alongside her parents, developing both a tactical eye for the game and an increasing love for painting and terrain work. She’s already helping with color schemes, learning to airbrush, and earning recognition for her own painting. Their younger daughter prefers playing music and staying home with the family’s cats, which Jennie notes with a laugh “works out well.”

The balance of competition, creativity, and togetherness feels central to the way Jennie talks about Infinity. She openly jokes about her tournament results, insisting she’s “not here to get a spot in Interplanetario,” but it’s obvious that winning has never been the point. The hobby gives her something broader than that: community, artistry, collaboration, and the joy of creating experiences for other people.
And perhaps that’s why her perspective on the Infinity community feels so genuine. As a woman who has been in tabletop gaming for many years, Jennie has seen environments where players assumed women didn’t belong or wouldn’t understand the game. Infinity, she says, has consistently felt different.
One of the cool things about Infinity is that all the players that I see are excited to talk to spectators about Infinity as a game system. The game is so complex with the movement, skills interactions and the ARO system, that I think it naturally keeps the players that are willing to work together towards a successful game. I think it's somewhat self-selective towards players that are cooperative and welcoming even in an inherently competitive environment, and that just builds a good community!
It’s a simple thing, but it says a lot.
Above is a table Jennie donated to Sin City Smackdown as a prize. She credits Infinity’s complexity and collaborative nature for fostering that culture. The game rewards communication, mutual understanding, and players who genuinely want both sides to have a good experience. That atmosphere is part of why she continues to invest so much of herself into the hobby: whether that’s through painting terrain, traveling to events like Krug, or simply setting up a table at home while trying to keep cats from climbing across it.
At the center of all of it is a desire to create something memorable.
I want it to be visually interesting and dynamic to play on, not just a grey backdrop to the miniatures.
And something memorable is exactly what she’s built; not only on the table, but with her family and friends gathering around it.
