And a moment of silence for
>>47421914
First for Moblots back to AVA 5, Vive la Merovingia!
>>47465470
Nice pic, who drew it if I may politely inquire?
So Servants are controlled by the Doctor, but who controls Remote Presence bots? Bored EVO troopers with masters degrees in robotics up in orbit wondering why they are stuck in a shitty MulBot instead of a glorious Bulleteer? 13-yr old Koreans with fast enough reflexes to control a Su Jian? An ALEPH Aspect that is glad it can durdle around with Dakinis for a few precious hours instead of having to calculate scenarios in which the EI doesn't subsume the Human Sphere? Bakunin droid otherkin?
>>47465566
Apparently actual REMs are robots. PanO TAGs, Su-Jian and Sphinxes are controlled remotely by random faggots back at base, Maruts and CA Mnemonica units are Aspects, Karakuri are robots and Batroids are weird vat grown cyborgs.
>>47465766
I liked that the fluff bit for Xeodrons was their oath they make upon their birth.
>>47465518
Dose tiny shins
Dont forget, if your "Awoo" didnt come from Bakunin, you probably over payed for your illegal modifications
>>47465518
wonder what the redone Moblots will look like?
>>47465518
Really? Woo! Now I can do my dumb-ass "Everything halfway up the board" list again!
>>47465518
And there was much rejoice.
>>47465470
so what you guys hope for Tunguska?
So if my Scylla and her devabots activate Cybermask, do I have to replace them all with Impersonation Markers?
>>47467607
Securitate getting a total overhaul. Grenzers getting a HMG. The sectorial getting cool new units.
>>47467692
I think Grenzers will be fine with a Spitfire when they get Fireteam Core. Sure, HMG would be cool, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
Question is if Grenzers also get Haris, like Wildcats.
>>47467692
>total overhaul
And not say, something as functional as say, a 3-5 point discount?
>>47467720
I'd be cool with them just cutting off sixth sense and the light shotgun, leaving it at about 15 points. I wouldn't buy a Securitate for 20 points because it's still a schizophrenic mess of a unit. Leave SSL2 for the unlinkable dudes with scary AROs, not a line troop that's most valuable when linked.
>>47467785
I think they should go in the other direction. They've got a decent beginning for a good prowler-esque midfield infighter, maybe add a little something to really bring them into them own. A shotgun, repeater, slightly better stats, and a skill that protects them from nasty stuff. Forward deployment, or maybe something like an auxbot, and they'd have a real niche as a sort of light exploitation figure.
>when linked
Yeah, that's a kicker for them. Repeater and SSL2 are more or less useless en mass in a link team. The later's worthless on the base unit, and the former ends up being way too redundant.
Yeah, I'd like to see a nomad with some sort of Synch, and Tunguska would be a decent opportunity for it. The faction's fluff already paints them as being ass deep in REM development.
>>47467808
Tunguska really needs a basic line troop, though. Maybe a low AVA of Alguaciles could suffice, but I think it would be better for them to have their own. And 15 point walking repeaters with AVA Total and Interventor support sounds like a great time.
I think this is the innate problem with the Securitate. They've got a decent beginning for a a midfield infighter, a decent beginning for an elite line troop and a decent beginning for an ARO machine. But in the end they're shit at all of those things and would be better off if they were cut into a few specialized units and developed from there.
>>47467692
>Securitate getting a total overhaul.
I just want badass looking great coating wearing line infantry
>>47467895
When the Szalamandra resculpt arrives do you think it will be wearing a giant TAG greatcoat?

Quick, someone call Bostria! This needs to happen!
My pic as the OP, nice.
Also, I summon Robot Jones: explain this!
>>47468016
THICK
Quick question:
How stupid is it to take a TAG in a 150pt list?
>>47468299
Quick answer:
Very.
>>47468016
Oh, that's Clymene, an OC from the official forums.
>>47468299
Depends on the TAG.
>>47468416
cheap light TAG like a Gecko?
>>47468444
I think this would be the only one.
>>47468299
Best idea
>>47468569
>>47468515
You have stuff like Scarface and now Xeodron too.
Actually played a small game with Gecko. It was hilarious how big it looked in those small lists and how central it became in the game. King of a very small hill.

You think too small

all you white boys gonna lose to a TAG with mad ups

>>47468999
>>47468780
The fact that you arent picking Jotums or dragoes shows a profound lack of insight
>>47468999
You know, if you replaced that Bulleteer with a Sierra or an EVO Mulebot, this could work.
>>47469051
Please, those are all glorified target practice.
Everyone knows which PanO TAG a best.
>>47469106
Yeah, im sure that TO will do great against MSV 2. We're trying to kill a Marut here people
>>47469159
Hidden deployment, bruh
>>47469159
>Marut
>agains TO
>wasting precious order trying to discover them
>while he gonna slip up anyway
>Grunt cannot move
I'm actually surprised a bit that eight orders can fit in 150 points with a non-light tag
>>47469159
It's easier after you have killed the meager order support, myrmidon being the singular piece that can decently defend itself.. Hell, with minesweepers you can even steal them.
>>47469563
>>47469106
>>47468999
>>47468780
>>47468569
Interesting format we have here. 150 points, list have to incorporate at least one TAG.
>>47469621
All this makes me want to do now is run TAG + 8 specialists at 200pts ITS
Squalo, 2 Auxilia, Doctor, Engineer, 3 FOs and a Paramedic, WHAT COULD GO WRONG
So im planning on buying into this list so when the Kazak sectorial hits i'm pretty much prepared.
Thoughts?
>>47470235
Or alternatively going into the Morat with the attached
>>47470235
There will probably be new units coming out for Kazaks, and there will definitely be resculpts.
I'd expect a new batch of Line and Veteran Kazaks, as well as a new autocannon Tankhunter and probably another resculpted Scout (though the old Ojotnik Scout has aged very well)
>>47470289
Raktoraks are garbo unless you want a cheap filling for a Suryat link. AC Kurgats are pretty underwhelming too (which sucks, haris could have saved them). Everything else in that list is pretty good. Rasyats have old models so they're ripe for resculpts, but they're a good unit nonetheless.
>>47469621
How about this?
>>47467657
Yes
>>47470548
Or this little piece of obscenity?
>>47465766
Interesting. I didn't think robots were actuslly a thing, what with the Only One AI rule. Do Karakuri have rudimentary, unsentient software guiding them around? It almost seems like it would be easier to just hook them up to a human operator.
>>47470857
It's worth mentioning that remotes ARE guided by, well, remote, if need be, but the expert programs installed locally are sophisticated enough to be able to work without them. Although of course EW oversight is needed if you don't want them wandering off the moment some OPFOR hacker gets their mits on them.
>Only One AI
They're not AI. More likely very sophisticated programs.
>Karakul
Something to that effect, yes.
>Hook them up
Drones are enlisted as the operator is the officer. They can handle the jobs you assign them, but they require oversight for coordination and planning purposes, and for dealing with the inevitable hiccups.
>>47470585
"Obscenity" is the right word.
I'm having flashbacks to starting at 40k, 500pts, and bringing a meltavet Chimera.
http://infinitythegame.com/article.php?id=195
A mate of mine sent me a starter for haqq islam while i was sick and i want to expand onto it cheaply, so what are your opinions on the following list?
>>47471061
>>47471075
I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.
>>47471068
Addition for the ass collage?
That shit is ugly. Reskinned tohaa just stupid
>>47471527
I don't see what you're seeing
>>47465470
Remember, if you lather yourself in peanut butter and have your Zondbot lick it off, its not gay because it's /your/ servant.
>>47472110
Why would it be gay? Zondbots are genderless and Zondcats have titties.
I keep seeing multiple people online saying that high WIP units are great with Flash Pulse, but doesn't Flash Pulse use BS Skill? It's a BS weapon, and it doesn't have the stipulation that Forward Observe has to use WIP. Are these people just bad at reading rules, or am I missing something?
>>47471020
>>47471027
Alright, CB, do you guys have any idea what you are doing to me here? I already play Combined Army because I find Unidrons incredibly sexy, and now you release these fucking things? Do you want to kill me?
>>47472272
It's a Technical Weapon, so you shoot with your WIP.
>>47471020
Sie sind böse und haben night genügend Mineralien.

300pts, 5.5 SWC
Usable list? Haven't really played since the switch to N3 and trying to salvage a Yujing army I made during second edition that isn't even close to 300pts anymore. I can switch pretty much any of the units for something similar that has the same weapon as all the models are conversions.
>>47472742
>reverse leg joint
It's called digitigrade. The joints aren't reversed, they just tip-toe all the time.
>>47471061
This thing's codpiece is making me uncomfortable.
>>47472742
Well, when chaksa came, people compared it to Ikadron, which itself resembles EI aspects that came before it. All the EI stuff share some aesthetics, which is fitting. Chaksas on the other hand were intended to look sturdy, which in turn was original Tohaa concept before they became the puppetmasters they are now.
>>47471020
>>47471027
Well, I have no idea what I am doing, but I want to field as many *drons as reasonably possible.
Xeodron haris is the aggressive part, Unidron core provides covering fire (though I am not sure about the missile launcher, considering the plasma sniper). Ikadron and Dr Worm make themselves useful as needed.
Daily reminder that random crits are fair and balanced
>>47473534
Yes? Why wouldn't they be? It's not like only one faction gets them.
>>47473488
Id rather an imetron reserve order than a second slave. Use a command counter to transfer to group 1
>>47473534
>enemy crits you on a 5 or less
>>47474506
>you crit on 2 or less
>>47474506
This is literally every time my intruder does anything. Instant gibbed by anything because my friend only rolls crits against intruders. Hmg V tac bow? Crit. MSR versus regular sniper through smoke? Crit. Every time. It's so frustrating I've stopped using them.
I love infinity. I love that crits exist. The whole thing fits how i imagine firefights: sometimes shit just happens. But I wish shit didnt ALWAYS happen to my intruder!
>>47473534
What are random crits?
So what is the best way to play Senor Massacre? He seems awesome but is he worth taking? Should he be run by himself or in a fireteam of Jaguars?
>>47474622
>Every time. It's so frustrating I've stopped using them.
Exactly the same deal with mine as well. Maybe I just don't know how to use him effectively. But I already made up my mind that instead of a skull I'll paint a target on his face.
Am I the only one whose passion for Infinity reignited after playing Overwatch?
>>47474622
same thing happens to my bulleteers. I have now fielded one just as a really fucking expensive distraction and win my game with auxilia and hexas
>>47476031
probably. I can't stand games that are only online multiplayer
>>47476031
Dunno, my Infinity high is running for almost a year now. And I thought Infinity was more like X-Com than Overwatch.
An Infinity shooter would probably be kind of like Overwatch though, maybe with Dirty Bomb style objectives.
>>47476031
Did I need a bad video game to reignite my passion for a good tabletop game?
No...
>>47476236
Im pretty sure some stuff was inspired by Infinity. What with all those cartoonish depictions, near-future thematics, uh.. asses etc.
Yeah, I see infinity slightly resembling X-com too.
>>47476294
I see your passion for infinity didnt require any reignition though. Mine did a bit, as I dont have much time for tabletops nowadays.
>>47474756
In a deterministic universe, there is no 'random' crit: the die has already been cast upon the creation of the world. We may not live in such a world, but it's important to understand that dice rolls, just like Hidden Deployment or Private Information, are another piece of hidden information that increases the tension of the game. Instead of being unknown to one, the result is instead hidden from both players.
When you know every element of an enemy's list, the tension to watch your back vanishes. When you know the enemy cannot possibly hit, the tension in spending an offensive Order vanishes. When you know that Mighty Casey cannot strike out, there is no drama to sending him up to bat. David has to be able to beat Goliath to elevate games to mythic status. Players should try their best to stack the odds to write the story of the battle best they can, but almost no amount of MOD stacking will make a trooper immortal. All men must die.
>>47476031
I didn't even play overwatch, but art, lore and cinematics were already enough to motivate me to paint the shit out of my guys before my first tournament. And it kind of inspired me to build a list for a cool, good looking and model-diverse team.
>>47476353
>Mine did a bit, as I dont have much time for tabletops nowadays.
That's because you're wasting all your time playing rehashed game concepts instead of beautiful minis.
>>47476944
What are you talking about? This totally isn't just a futuristic Team Fortress 2 with Dota abilities.
>>47477148
It is. And its awesome.
>>47476079
I dont like multiplayer only games either and I dont intend on playing Overwatch. But really dig some of the characters. Would not mind a Tracer miniature from CB
>>47476031
My passion for this game died with HSN3.
>>47479424
Asking as a newer player, what happened with HSN3 ?
>>47480662
things got better. new units, addition of link teams, it's all good
>>47480662
thy game got pretty much universally better. They kept the core of the game the same, refined the edges and added interesting new stuff. I don't know a single person that thinks N3 is actually bad compared to 2. Some are more and some are less enthusiastic, but that is to be expected.
>>47481118
Only whining I've really seen the the buffs Tohaa got. But I see it as a positive as the Tohaa players where I'm at are more willing to be aggressive with their symbio stuff than before.
>>47481263
To be fair, I play Tohaa and some of those buffs are bullshit. More specifically the existence of the Sukeul and all but 3 units losing their fire vulnerability. Everything else is pretty nice though.
>>47482831
I agree with the fire changes being rather dumb. Should have added something for single-wound ones to worry about.
But what makes the Sukeul stick out poorly? I'm not too versed on Tohaa since the local guys playing it are the least active and they're nuts for Clipsos more than anything.
>>47471047
>>47482886
It's a linkable mimetic BS13 HMG/ML with effectively 2 wounds that costs 35 points. That would be a great unit in any other faction, but it's a massive deal for Tohaa since we've always favoured short range combat. It's basically an entire wishlist dumped into a single unit.
>>47482831
Eh, considering the almost ubiquitous availability of multiple links in sectorials, Tohaa needed something to even things out.
>>47483068
Reminds me of a summary for Tohaa I read ages ago. Seemed like their powerhouse units were typically soloists, while the rest weren't as good but could make triads to shore up weaknesses.
Guess they're reversing the trend. (Or have been)
>>47483105
And we got it. Sakiel upgrading to frenzy? Igao, Neema and Gorgos becoming worthwhile? Swarm grenades being replaced with something useful? Price drops across the board? It's all wonderful. The Sukeul just makes people stop using Ectros again.
>>47476031
Just few ideas for conversions.
>>47476031
Could be. I enjoy OW far more than I did Infinity in the last two years.
>>47476079
Infinity is PvP only game, unless you do some serious campaign and you're the GM that controls the dungeon/baddies or some nonsense like that.
>>47483263
Yeah, and Kauuri sentineels to boot. "Hey, what skill and visor do we give these cheap bots?" "How about... everything?"
>>47483415
>Infinity is PvP only game
It also hobby.
>>47483533
When a beginner brings camo/smoke - msv 2 list on his intro game, using every trick in the book and that only being the tip of the iceberg of my meta. I think I'll take my chances with OW where I can always click on "leave game".
I have my models that I've build but having an army that isn't going to see table top any time or models that I'd love to play but they just have no place in the meta is also missing the selling point of the hobby.
>>47483825
>I think I'll take my chances with OW where I can always click on "leave game".
I can do the same in Team Fortress.
>I have my models that I've build but having an army that isn't going to see table top any time or models that I'd love to play but they just have no place in the meta
Seriously, in Infinity? It's not 40k, almost all units could be useful.
>>47483825
...what's wrong with the smoke - msv2 combo for a beginner? It's like the most rudimentary and intuitive trick in the book.
>>47483825
>equating a tabletop wargame with the gameplay of some mindless arena shooter
They aren't even remotely alike, beyond aesthetic similarities.

what
>>47483873
> It's like the most rudimentary and intuitive trick in the book.
That's why you get it in a starter box. This shit wasn't even remotely that popular three years ago.
>>47483911
>>equating a tabletop wargame with the gameplay of some mindless arena shooter
Who the fuck is equating them? Expressing preference for a game that I find better waste of my time. Play Infinity all the time, if that's what you want.
Just played my first tournament as NCA, came second place, using the same list every game. Rolling face with Bolts was fun :D.
>>47484598
>Expressing preference for a game that I find better waste of my time
Okay, why do you came here, not in /owg/?
>>47484646
It's weird how /tg/ is so bad at game but pretend good.
Bolts literally win games on their own but the meme here is that they're bad. I guess just rack up wins while people still underestimate them.
>>47484765
Bolts have pretty situational skills and I've never been a fan of how their ARO weapons are all really long ranged for midfield troops, but I'm pretty sure they're only considered bad because NCA has so much other outstanding shit. Bolts are fine, and the ability to turn any non-monofilament mine into your bitch is great.
They're a bit behind after HSN3, though. They haven't got any fancy link stuff like Number 2 or Haris and they're paying far more for drop bears than anybody else is at the moment.
>>47483825
>models that I'd love to play but they just have no place in the meta
It's your own fault for buying that many Teutons and Securitate ;^)
>>47484765
It was only a 14 man tourney. Best my bolts did was kill off Hector and his whole link in an ARO. Ah, 24 wounds in one ARO :D.
I want bolts to get haris so I can run 8. Love them models.
>>47485014
I'm honestly surprised they didn't give bolts Haris.
>>47485327
Can't have them competing with glorious ORCS!
>>47485442
Waagh
Does anyone have the Agema Sniper? I'm wondering if it's a CAD sculpt or not. I'm erring on the side that it is a CAD sculpt.
>>47487084
I'm pretty sure it is
Do you think this could work? I think this could work.
I may try proxying some models to check if it works.
>>47487239
>spitfire+ML in one link
It won't.
>>47487285
Why not? I had a lot of success with a Spitfire + HRL in a Wildcat link. Do you think MSR would be better?
>>47487239
Looks fun, maybe replace a pathfinder with an auxilia forward observer
>>47488093
I wanted to specifically avoid auxilias. I don't like the models.
>>47487239
Nah. That Deva hacker is redundant and if something templates the link your distribution of orders will go to fuck. If you're gonna have a second group, fill out your first to 10 then put low-order use models like TR bots in the second.
Really just general play right now, but what do you guys think of this build?
>>47490587
The second group is anaemic, orders wise. Decent firepower, somewhat lacklustre mobility, but the Su Jian and links helps with that. A good amount of specialists, and a very nice level of close up fighters. Those Wu Ming are vulnerable to long ranged stuff. They'd be great close up, but they could do more, even with a combi rifle.
Maybe transfer a few orders over to group 2. You've got too much firepower in that group to let them languish with just 5 orders.
Something I saw on the forums I like the look of. Anyone see any major issues?

Hey, question about houserules (unless there's an official ruling I don't know of):
How do you treat terrain like holo-walls, holo ads and the like? I got some MicroArt holo-ads to spice up the table, but I have not used them yet and I'm wondering how to.
Would you treat them like normal walls? Or something that does not block LoF, but imposes a cover bonus anyway? Should they add a bonus to ARM?
My idea for them was to treat them like a flat Nimbus field, a -3 to BS and -1 to Burst, but only if the model is totally covered by it.
>>47491138
Downgrade that Kuang Shi with the BS to a CR.
>>47491043
Looks good, although it's playing things quite openly, and doesn't have any real surprises. Of course, you do have an incredibly distributed amount of whoop-ass, so it should work.
>>47491149
A lot of the time, we treat them like actual walls, because the board otherwise would be too open. If you're after something elegant, make them low visibility zones. The Nimbus Field is a good idea, though.
>>47491289
>A lot of the time, we treat them like actual walls, because the board otherwise would be too open.
Yeah, you see, my problem with Infinity tables is that for all the stuff that's on them, most of it is just solid LoF blockers. Infinity has all those rules about zones and difficult terrain and all that that most people ignore. I now understand why it's showing up in official scenarios more often, because otherwise people would never use it.
Hey there. Recently started up MRRF after friends pointedly told me that playing Pan O with a Cutter is easy mode.
Took this list out for a spin against an Onyx Force the other day and got deep-fucked. Pretty sure I made a lot of retarded moves (not using my AD troops properly, digging in at a stupid spot), but how does the list look?
Any room for improvement/suggestions for expansion. I have everything listed there + the other contents of the MRRF starter box (extra Zouave, Moblot, extra Metro).
>>47491043
If you take an obvious Lt, it might as well be Achilles burning the order. And if you cut Machaon you'd then have the SWC for a Chain of Command officer.
>>47491644
I've been adding nimbus zone areas (usually forests) and they are really fun as long as they aren't dominating the center of the board.
>>47491149
I played them once as inflicting a -6 to units shooting through them, reduced by MSV levels. Hackers (or maybe all troops?) can use a short skill to turn them on/off if in base contact.
>>47493740
hackers should be able to use one of their gadgets to interact from outside base contact
So does any one have any experience painting haqqislam in a white/gold scheme? I'm thinking of doing a tundra based scheme but before I delve into fully painting I want to get a rough estimate of what I'm getting into.
![RCRT9D7[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/K0Bz3Aq.jpg "RCRT9D7[1].jpg")
>>47496404
It can work, I've seen them painted like Cerberus.
>>47496404
painting white is always a bit of a bitch. Mainly white or mainly black colour schemes are the hardest to get right imho.
>>47496695
Nice! I was actually thinking of painting my new ISS like this but with orange stripes instead of the yellow
>>47487305
HRLs and snipers go into positive range bands at 16, while MLs do so at 24. They can be made to work with a spitfire but it requires more planning. If you just want to bumrush your opponent with the link and keep them in the midfield then I'd switch to a sniper.
So I hear Hassassins got better in HSN3? Any summary of the changes?
>>47497713
Barids get AHD with Lightning Upgrade and KHD.
Farzans drop in points. Loses Contender, but gains a Minelayer option.
Ghazi Muttawiah gains Smoke Grenades for no costs.
Govads get a Haris option
Asawira get Duo and a Haris w/ 2 Muyibs options
Muyibs ALL gain the Number 2 rules and a Haris option which can be Haris'd with a single Asawira
Asawira gets a completely reworked BTS going to 9, gaining frenzy, assault, duo
Avicenna finally gets added to HB
And an incredible new HI, Hassassin Ayyar
>>47497836
Also wanted to add that with all those additions, I think Hassassin Bahram has become the ultimate speed bump army.
>>47497836

Protips for T.A.G lover player? :D
>>47501177
Engineers and hackers to cover it. They won't make your TAG immortal but it'll give it a chance to resist common problems for them.
>>47501177
Take an engineer that can actually GET to the TAG without blowing too many orders. Typically, that means servant bots.
Support them well, and remember that TAGs might get whittled occasionally in ARO, it's the counterattack that kills them. If you run a TAG, you have a rambo par excellence, but make sure you have the right figures to cover them. That might mean good shooting, it might mean mines, it might mean infiltrators, auxbots, AD distracting them, war bands, camouflage, etc. Hackers help as well, although you really should have one anyway.
>>47501177
Always bring an engineer, preferably with a bot. Hackers are a good idea too. Hide them away for your opponent's turn or they'll get fucked up. TAGs are not ARO pieces.
>>47497455
A few people have done something similar, it's a really good looking scheme for ISS.
>>47496695
White, black and yellow are the superior colour scheme for sci-fi armor. This cannot be denied.
>>47465470
>anime robots
Plz no.
>>47503676
I think you're in the wrong game.
>>47496695
>>47503629
It's a fine scheme, although orange instead of yellow or predominately black with white secondary and orange accents is also nice.
>>47503743
Depends on which faction he picks. If he plays Ariadna or Haqq, he will never have any problems with animu.
>>47504565
>Ariadna
Fury
>Haqq
Tackhicoma
>>47504592
Well, are there any grungy, '80s-style deathbots?
>>47504565
>or Haqq
tinbot
I'm still fucking salty they made a three-man box for full price.
>>47504592
Right, the bots I will concede. As for furries, werewolves are not animu, and furries are Nomad territory anyway.
Is the eternal rival anon here? I know he posts sometimes. Anyways, I tried copying the colors and method used on the blog but it comes out more yellow than expected. Is this how it's supposed to be or am I doing something wrong?
Other WIP. Painting has come to a grinding halt because I have no black left and am waiting for the order to arrive.
My friend wants to start a Military Orders army.
His favorite orders are the Hospitaller and the Holy Sepulchre and he is mostly in it for the cool models over game play.
Any suggestions on how to build a list with those?
>>47506798
Hospitallars are basically the best order knights. They're great at shooting and come with PanO's best doctor at the same time. He will want to pick up some order sergeants and Magister knights to fill out the list too. Just convert the Teuton you get in the starter set to a hospitaller by removing the pamzerfaust and painting him in the appropriate color scheme.
>>47497836
>Muyibs ALL gain the Number 2 rules and a Haris option which can be Haris'd with a single Asawira
Im newish to the game but how can you have a muyibs Harris with an Asawira in the link?
>>47506958
Just from the listing of possible links on the unit profile pages. You'll have stuff like CORE, but then some have CORE (1) and specify something special.
>>47506988
Do you happen to have the page for the hassassin profile page from hsn3? Is this rule in the Harris section of the rules?
>>47507032
The pdf for unit profiles on the Infinity site is free and have it at the end of the Haqqislam section.
>>47507032
>>47507059
Guess to specify better. Each sectorial has been given a chart of possible links, link types, and availability of units. In those have the units marked with what teams they can form and some have a note to them signified by a small (#) next to their listing and below the box explains it. It's not something specific in the general rules for Haris and such.
>>47506798
Well, since you can mix Magisters with Hospitallers in links, I guess that would be the way to go. I was thinking about a Sepulchre + Hospitallers in a Magister link list myself and whipped up one just now.
It's a bit light on specialists and the Lt. is obvious... After you reveal him that is.
Most of the times I think you'd probably want to run a Sepulchre without Hospitallers, because he's a bit pricey. So like a Sergeant link + Gabriel + Sepulchre I think.
>>47507147
>>47507059
That's fucking incredible. I need to try out some configurations for that haris

>>47509133
Nice. I finally started working on my Haqq since classes are over for a bit, and I base coated most parts of my Janissary fireteam.
Still dreading the detailing, since my hands aren't super steady and I'm not the best painter.
What's the ruling on the Druze Gal KHD Cybermasking while in a fireteam?
>>47509285
Well, neither does angel's blue haired girl
>>47510114
It's a good start. Paint with your hands close together. Should help with steadiness. It also helps to loosen your arm/hand.
>>47511081
>What's the ruling on the Druze Gal KHD Cybermasking while in a fireteam?
What is the issue? Cybermask puts you into marker state which knocks you out of any fireteam.
>>47511737
Cool, thanks
>>47511081
>What's the ruling on the Druze Gal KHD Cybermasking while in a fireteam?
The ruling is you run the link to half way up the field, put 3 of them in suppression mode, because x-visors, send the BSG and KHD off as a duo, and use a combination of +6 DAM 14 AP within 8 inches, KHD programs, and cybermask to deal anything you find. This is the only way i can see them competing with Sekban, KTS, or Odalisques
So I want to make rocks for my maghariba since it's leaning to one side for some reason, and I feel a nice rock could make it straight and add something to a base. What do you guys normally use for rocks, besides just a rock from the ground?
>>47512296
cork looks good, layered, sprayed and dry-brushed
>>47512277
My current list is a KTS core, Odalisque Haris, and Druze Duo with enough points to make the Druze KHD into an AHD
>>47512296
Cork is good, especially if you get natural wine cork and cut it down into rocky shapes. Slate also works. You could can easily find some around construction zones.
>>47509133

Have to keep the wageslave plebs in line of course. Can't have them getting any ideas about being above their station.
Brother might be taking interest in the game and specifically for TAGs. This might seem bad, but my locals are pretty mellow so he'll have a good time.
But he likes Pan-O TAGs and I don't know shit about Pan-O. Where would be a good place to start a TAG list?
>>47519041
Jotum, Pano starter is a good place to start.
Tag lists usually only run a single tag. Especially Pano tag lists. Pano tags are very expensive, and generally quite good.
>>47519083
Would you take the usual protections like a dedicated engineer? I'm aware of Pan-O's.
Though a worthwhile hacker for any hack support I wouldn't know. I'm too used to WIP 14 supports.
>>47519041
I agree with the other anon. The Jotum is the most forgiving TAG in the game and the only one I'd recommend to beginners.
>>47519122
The only TAG you should not take an engineer with is Iggy. Otherwise, always bring an engineer. They're a TAG's best friend.
As for hackers, Fusiliers are cheap so they're the thing most people go for. I much prefer a Kamau though, she's got better WIP and it's much harder for enemy hackers to make her head explode. The new Regular looks kind of interesting too.
>>47519761
>>47519122
Im curious how hackers support TAGs, when the Jotum doesnt have a repeater, so theres no way to hack offensively in ARO through it. Are you going to wait for it to be possessed, and then try to repossess it, or immobilize it?
>>47519122
Rerolls help, as they're remote presence.
>>47520235
Exorcims is a thing and only way to return your TAG without spending valuable command token. Well, you can posses it back, but that is a massive downgrade and possessed TAGs don't bring WP.
>>47518402
Because the pope can run around totally protection-free, right?
>>47520235
Being able to handle a possessed TAG is important, but it's better to be proactive when protecting your shit. Hackers are a good way to deal with other hackers since they need to get close, and if you put repeaters between them and the TAG they're trying to molest then you can melt their brains or immobilize them while they pass.
>>47509133
It's a common scheme because it's a good scheme. How it looks relies mostly on the execution of the whites; I'm sure you'll pull it off.
>>47520364
