Join the rest of us, anon. We all need to stick together to get through this tough time.
>>44378253
The Kotail is a bit of a special case, since it's blisteringly mobile (6-4, Superjump), hard to put down (Holo L2, Symbiont) and very reliable (V:Courage, non-hackable, non-impetuous).
Just imagine this guy masquerading as a lowly Kamael working his way up the board with a few of his brethren, only to suddenly vault over a tall wall and nail a HI link from behind with a E/M grenade.
And once that TAG/HI/REM is Immobilized-2, it'll probably be that way for a while, since Engineers are the rarest-seen specialists outside a few cases (Hello, Dr. Worm!), and even then there's a guy with a boarding shotgun or Forward Observer+combi-rifle sitting nearby.
>>44380186
You've just made me sad there isn't a Holoprojector L3 that combines the effects of 1 and 2. I love the idea of a Kotail masquerading as a triad all by himself, then surprise jumpring over a wall to fuck someone up.
>>44380225
Wouldnt be linked so it would be pretty obvious
>>44379365
>PanO Christmas Babes Edition
Tell me more about these Brown PanO Christmas Babes.
So anons, do you find yourself taking a full spread of specialists in ITS because of classifieds? If not which ones do you drop? Do you split them over your two lists? Has it bitten you in the ass?
I'm unsure on the groups for this one, but how's this for general play? I'd usually include a Hac Tao because... Well, because Hac Tao. Decided to go for other stuff for a change.
>>44380902
I play it by ear. The scenarios are published ahead of time so you can tailor your list. Classifieds largely determines your specialist spread. The more classifieds you have and the more they are worth, the more variety you'll need. Only certain missions require a full spread, such as highly classified. Annihilation leans toward this end. Quadrant control requires absolutely none. Seize the Antennas doesn't need a big spread.
Some factions, such as nomads can drop a good specialist spread as a matter of fact.
>>44381039
Looks workable. I'd swap the one of the FO zhanshi for a regular one so you can hide your LT.
Try a putting the tiger hacker and both the shaolin in a small command group. If you want something a bit riskier, swap a non specialist zhanshi for a Shaolin.
>>44380186
Came here to ask how good Kotail actually is in the field. They seem pretty badass. Also, Spitfire or twin Combi?
>>44381692
Spitfire!
I also want to try out BS version with symbiobomb added for friendly games.
>>44381729
I'm guessing spitfire because if you're close enough to use the combi's close range bonus then you should be going in for CC?
>>44381828
Nope, you should not go for the CC. CC is for CC specialists and you want to shoot people. Spirfire is just better at shooting people.
>>44381855
How's it better at shooting? The combi gets the range bonus at close and medium while the spitfire just gets it at medium. With twin combi the burst is effectively the same, and they both use normal ammo and have suppressive. Does the 1 extra damage really make that big of a difference?
>>44381692
Forward observer version is best, specialist with em grenades.
>>44381941
It's not the damage, but the range bands. The extra 8 inches at +3 means you cover a vast majority of gunfights outside of deployment zone. You also can bully rifles and combi rifles at mid range while charging HMGs and sniper rifles.
>>44382161
shit I completely overlooked the extra 8'' of medium range. that makes a lot more sense.
what do you guys use for scatter terrain? I've got the terrain bug and want to create a table
>>44383667
Storage tanks, shipping containers, parked or smashed cars, boxes, bushes, phone booths, newspaper booths, sandbags, big rocks, vents, etc.
>>44383667
Benches, cars, vending machines, consoles, and traffic barriers as well as what Molly said.
>>44383667
Things with clear defined boundaries, and entirely flat surfaces. Crates and barrels are great, piles of dirt are bad. Models need to be able to get hard up against terrain and stand flat on and around it.
Can every one post a table they play on actually? That would be awesome and helpful
>>44381692
Excellent. It's absolute murder with a Makaul throwing zero V smoke for it. having two magical hats to play with means you can get pretty fucking daring with your super jumps into enemy LOS.
And if you run out of orders in the enemies deployment zone, just super jump up into a roof and go prone out of LOS
>>44380225
I want to imagine Holo L3 as just putting a cup or bowl over the model and everything inside is hidden. You have to guess where the model is if you're shooting at it.
>>44384483
or just 3 holo-markers
>>44384415
https://waywardwarcor.wordpress.com/the-infinity-tabletop-gallery/
Pano and Nomads and USARDINIA have find us which has the highest rape figures?
>>44385079
I mean dindus
>>44385399
The figures aren't labelled 'nigger', 'spic', or 'cracker', or 'chink', so it's really dependent on how you paint them.
>>44381692
Neither, to be honest. E/M grenades are wonderful on the Kotail, and you don't get them on either loadout.
Don't get me wrong, both Spitfire and Dual Combis are perfectly serviceable, but the E/M versions just provide more utility for only a minor decrease in firepower.
>>44387083
obligatory "spam FO options for ITS" -response
>>44387132
I get what you're going for, but flash pulse, em grenades, and combi rifle is a tidy package. weve also already had that response
what, if anything, is different about the second print of the declassified decks?
>>44387328
it's not shit.
i think the first print got fucked up and was really poor quality. CB got all mad and had the company responsible reprint it
>>44387356
damn, glad I asked
also, do you think that new CA sectorial will be the next big army pack like the USAriadna one?
>>44387422
I'm hoping for YJ Invincible Army
>>44387422
derp it says Army Pack right there
so what will come after that?
>>44387443
There are couple of concepts. These are supposed to be Gecko sized, if memory serves.
>>44387443
More YJ stuff? they haven'tconfirmed anything yet. Onyx Force and USAriadna will get their "full" release with human sphere N3, and then Acheron Falls will have the next big wave of new sectorials
>>44387607
>Acheron Falls
wuzzat?
When do you think Tohaa will see a sectorial?
>>44387642
Next expansion book. Coming out after Human Sphere N3,so sometime early 2017ish
>>44387647
with Acheron Falls
>>44387642
Working title for the next big expansion, that's been around the corner the lat couple of years. Will have plethora of new sectorials (and rerelease of MRRF and shasvastiis) and rules. Acheron blockade is the base of humanitys space defense against EIs invasion, so shit is supposed to get real. The book after that is supposed to be Campaign: Earth, after all.CBs original plan was to have three distinct phases in their metaplot and we are experiencing the first. Second would be about CA wrecking shit and third the eventual victory of humanity.It's not guaranteed they have the balls to go trough this plan because peopl...customers really dislike it that their armies get squatted.
>>44387443
I'm not sure how I feel about Morats being part of the Onyx, to be honest.
>>44387604
Has anyone ever learned what the Red Fury is? I mean, the idea of the smaller TAG-sized Xeodron is neat and sexy, but I can't see those being armed with anything better than a Mk12 or a Spitfire.
The Overdron is boring, though.
>>44387697
>I'm not sure how I feel about Morats being part of the Onyx, to be honest.
Yeah, it struck me as odd since the other CA sectorials seem to be based around one species.
>>44387721
Onyx Force is the EIs vanguard. Some Morats, especially fast well armoured rodoks makes sense desu senpai
>>44387721
Unidrons, Umbra and Sygmaa, I'm fine with all of them. Morats have their own sectorial, I'm not too fond of such overlap, even if there is a lore reason.
As an aside, Morats are the only ones in that list that aren't sleek and elegant, opting instead for a bulky and powerful look instead. No less menacing, but clearly visually different from the other guys, leading to a less cohesive overall design.

Way more suprise bullshit than usual. It's easy to two have two solid fighty groups with even some expensive fighters, so putting in 2-4 AD or TO troops is near effortless. There's always another hidden figure. Stuff like double Fiday, or paired TAG's are also far more likely to turn up. As for your list I'd probably put Margot and Duroc into group 2. Spread out the off boarders. Ease up on the order load on group 1.
Brave choice going Meros.
Also, where's the extra 2 SWC going?

>>44388230
Thanks! Space french is the only real army I have that can go up to 450. I could use straight Ariadna but I haven't really played a game of vanilla to know how to use them.
Anyway, put M5 down into unit 2 and swapped over the zouaves to unit 1. think that'll do?
>>44384666
Thanks Satan!
>>44388271
Honestly, in my exprience, regular Ariadna is similar to French except they have more of everything. More strong fighters, for a start. You can take assloads of infiltrators and foward types and camo types and Paracommandoes just like in pure Mero. Other than a few fairly lacklustre link teams, you don't miss out on much. I like 4 Chasseurs and everything, but I'll settle for 2 Chasseurs and 2 Foxtrots. And 2 Scouts, and 2 Cameronians. Because Vanilla.
>switch
Sounds good. You've got M5 and your infiltrators with one pool, and your heavier fighters in the other. I'd be tempted to put the HMG in group 2 though. Give yourself lots of orders to shred from a distance, and plenty for your link to move up afterwards. M5's probably going to chew up a bunch though, so keep that in mind whatever way you slice it.
>>44388257
5 TACTICAL ROOOOCKS.
>>44388165
>>44388219
>>44388257
>can't even stick to the rhyming scheme
>>44387776
Rodoks are also one of the newest Morat -units in fluff, so it kinda makes more sense than, say, suryuats.
>>44381360
Oh, good spot on the LT. I could include another Zhanshi if I drop the Shaolin; I only threw them in for cheap smoke. Not including them also appeals to my wallet, as I don't own any.
>>44388679
The models are bitchin', though.
>>44387697
>>44387604
Actually, is there anything at all known about these two?
The Overdrone kinda looks like a Yan Huo, which would be cool, but if the Xeodrone is supposed to be Gecko-esque I doubt they'd fill the same (or at least similar) spot.
>>44388679
Inclined to keep the shaolin. With your only easy to deliver specialist being your tiger hacker, the smoke is a good way to get things up where they need to be. Shaolin also trade well with skirmishers and juicy link teams.
>>44387697
I don't see a problem with a task force oriented sectorial. I expect the rumored Black Hand sectorial will be pretty similar, grabbing all the commando/black Ops units from across Corregidor, Bakunin, and Tunguska.
>>44389730
Overdron is supposed to be full blown TAG. What sectorial Avatar is supposed to go, nobody knows. Maybe there will be "pure EI" and "pure sygmaa" sectorials at some point, Onyx being tuttifrutti of CA sectorials.
>>44390387
I don't mind that funnily enough. Rodok fire teams with EI support sounds like a hell of a good time. I may miss the Skiavoros Lt. and have to bump the Umbra to Lt. status for missions here and there, but Morat fire teams are pretty good as far as cost efficiency goes.
>>44389665
The old ones were better posed though.
>>44387443
Any idea when this is supposed to drop? I was thinking of picking up the combined starter pack but this looks even better.
>>44391129
No, just no...
>>44391222
Those high kicks were awesome.
>>44391438
Next you say you preferred the old-old highlanders.
>>44391130
I don't think it will as a set. It was offered as a prize for a competition CB ran before christmas.
All it is is the CA starter, the recently released drone box and the Rodoks are going to be released sometime within next month.
>>44391922
Sure, and the old sculpt for Ko Dali was also way better.
>>44392332
Old Yu Jing models were shit, but the one old figure I prefer to the new one would be Croc Man. New one looks like a Fusilier in a tight suit and a cameltoe, this guy looks more like a teched-up Maori warrior.Maybe I just like his exposed, manly arms.
>>44392443
Yeah, he pretty much needed a slight upscaling (the release was in that awkward late HS/early Paradiso phase where everything was sculpted really small for some reason), new weapons and redesigned back to be good.
>>44391922
N...no.

The game is Spanish. It was never pure.
Time to post some models.
I think I botched my own scheme on these two, added too much Teclis Blue to the Russ grey and made the pure blue spots too big.
Also for some reason before painting Nisse's arms fit perfectly, but after painting they didn't.

Hopefully they kill off the Nomads. I haven't met a Nomad player who wasn't a filthy furry degenerate, and the game would be better without their faction.
>andnothingofvaluewaslost.jpg
>>44397143
The game would be much worse without the Nomad faction, which has a really interesting style of play.
Honestly, there is no excuse for the removal of any faction at this point. The only argument would be in terms of pure economics, and if they have to do that they should come out and say it as clearly and explicitly as possible.
>>44397143
I like Corregidor.
>>44395732
I need to paint my Guijia now :(
>>44397184
You're still a furry degenerate. All those units with cat and lizard names. So not only are you just a furry, you're some kind of scale too.
Actually, all the Nomad units with cat-names (plus the Intruders and Prowlers) are named after Grumman aircraft.
Not saying Nomad players aren't furfags, but credit where credit is due.
>>44397161
>Honestly, there is no excuse for the removal of any faction at this point. The only argument would be in terms of pure economics, and if they have to do that they should come out and say it as clearly and explicitly as possible.
Implying a company as small as corvus belli can afford to piss of a huge chunk of their customer base with GW tier bullshit.
>>44397522
Nigga, they can't afford to lose money on a product range either. Why on earth would you be pissed about them being upfront about a faction being financially unsustainable? Are you some kind of wizard who can just conjure up bales of cash and does not understand how profit works?
I would not accept CB just deciding to close down a faction for story reasons. I would accept them honestly saying a faction's sales were tanking and it was an expense they could no longer cope with, and had to retire.
>>44397318
There is a marked tendency to name Nomad models after aerospace terms in general, with Northrop Grumman tending to be favored as you've pointed out.
Zonds, Sputniks, Zeros, Jaguars, and Meteors also fall in this category.
>>44397143
Agreed. With a potential of 36 faction/sectorials total, surely no one will miss the Nomads.
>>44397143
>>44397247
>>44398032
>>44398032
Except Nomads seem to be one of the fastest growing factions. They provide 3 out of the 36 factions. Financially it does not make sense.

Was the love and admiration for that hacker and crane not enough to keep you motivated?
How come I never see anyone use GML remotes?
>>44401286
Too much hassle to make them work. Very sensitive success chain. They're nasty when they DO work, and certain armies like Nomads aren't inconvinienced by their inclusion, but they're something of an aquired taste.
>>44401286
Because people are scrubs and cant appreciate how a 6-4 AP+DA circular template could be good for 18 points. The SWC cost is steep though
I'm in the middle of assembling Tarik and I was wondering how I should use him.
I bought him for the amazing sculpt and because I want a centerpiece model for my force.
But how do I use him? Superjump from out of cover and blast away at models my opponent thlught was hidden?
And is the AP-Rifle better than the Spitfire?
I'd assume it is since AP is pretty uncommon in Haqq and universally useful.
>>44402591
I'd take the Spitfire over the rifle for range and burst considerations, but AP is helpful. Thing is, the spitfire already has an extra point of damage, so unless you're shooting at armour 4 targets or higher, the AP isn't really putting the rifle ahead.
You're right that his agility is the key to his use. Good terrain management as well, mitigate that range. There's also the Light Shotgun for close up AROs or against hard to hit targets. Nanopulser serves you well there as well though. If you're after a centrepiece, the Spitfire's better. Although there's a case to be made for saving the SWC and spending them on your less awesome figures to give them new utility.
>>44402696
I got 4 centerpieces, 2 Kum, Kasyum and Tarik.
Yeah I actually have trouble using all the SWC in Haqq.
Considering the AP-Rifle is very situational I can see that. And I usually face lots of MI/LI.
I'm the power armor player.
It will be fun to learn how to use Tarik since he makes the battlefield very 3D. I'll have to watch jumping into AROs.

>>44402791
You consider your Kum to be centrepieces? No Lasqis, Djanbazan, Jannisaries? No Fiday or Azzrails? You want some good shooters. Those figure's you mentioned are great at exploitation, but other than Tarik they're not known for their firepower. Clear the way for them with some big guns. Otherwise you'll be prey to the first asshole in suppressive mode, or TR or Neurocinetics figure.
>Superjump
Oh, it's wonderful. Nomads only get Bran Do Casto, and he's already beastly. And of course Ariadna get various Dog Soldiers. Tarik's as tough as them, and has more capabilities at long range. Makes getting OUT for a firing position easy as well, well out of convinient movement range.
Jumping into ARO's just means you have them in your sights. Although be careful of templates. Nothing like a warband or mine to make a far, far more expensive figure stumble.

I thiught mire about big cool models but I see your point.
Big hitters for me eill probably be Tarik AP HMG Azreal and a Sekban with HRL.
Overall I have trouble filling out my SWC.
>>44403156
There's probably at least a few figures out there that have Panzerfaust, Hacker, regular sniper rifle options etc that are pretty low in terms of points, but take a bit of SWC for a nice bonus.
>>44399070
ZEN Terrain has now some neony signs for buildings but that's not like those from your pic. Strange Fruit Terrain has some that look like this.
Hello

In general I don't really know where to spend my SWC. Ghulams with Pfausts sounds cool!
A Ragik Hacker or Spitfire would be cool.

Actually I suspect it made me climax too early.
I came to discover how much my motivational drive is dependent on other's attention. Got off facebook, distanced myself away a bit from the CB forums. Boom, motivation completely deflated. I find myself stupid like that.
Then again it might just be a regular burnout. Last time I painted was a 2-month nonstop holiday marathon.
>>44404540
it might be the regular burnout. but I have to say, i love your pictures
I recently came across the old limited edition CSU girl but I haven't got her rules.
Is there somewhere I can find them?

You can find him in the Army V - Neoterra has them for sure.

What did you do to that poor thing
>>44405421
Like a GI Joe figure, almost. WW2 sort of colour scheme. Missile Pod, I like. Chaingun, not so much. Cut it down to just the ammo and barrel it'd look better. The big fist/sheild thing's a bit cumbersome looking.

>>44409022
those models look great. as for the bases? fuck'em. the game is "busy enough already.
>>44409022
is that metalic paint? I'm really surprised how well that simple scheme works they look really good.
>>44410084
Just a silver base coat with some blue wash, actually.
A good deal darker than I had intended when I began, but it worked out okay, so I kept it.
>>44409022
You can't go wrong with black and red.
How is this for a first army?
I have the JSA starter and Haramaki already.
>>44412022
Well, it's illegal for one. Make a legal list and get back to us.
>>44412324
Sorry. What did I mess up?
>>44412387
No lieutenant, tooo many troops in one combat group
>>44412387
You see that ITS sign with the big X? Click it and it'll tell you.
I know nothing about Yu-Jing, but for one you have no Lt. and over 10 troops in one group.
>>44412387
It looks like you are missing a Leftenant and everything is in one combat group.
It also depends on what you are playing. Surprised in the lack of Ninja, Tokusetsu, and REMs.
Also, those new Domaru are itching to be played. I'm waiting with baited breath for the HSN3 rules to see if they gain some things to their profile to set them apart from Haramaki more.
No Aragoto either? Hmm. Almost everyone also goes for the O-Yoroi as well.
>>44412462
>>44412484
>>44412518
Is this better?
The Oniwaban with shotguns seemed better than ttrying to melee things, I already have the Haramaki for a link team and I heard tags are bad now.
I'm waiting on the Warpath bikes to be purchaseable then using a shorter stand if I want to do bikes later.

>>44412022
>>44412387
Toss most of the Keisotsu and get a JSA Support box for Tokusetsu doc and engi with Yaozao support. They shoot just as well and provide capable specialists.
Keep a Keisotau hacker for Fairy Dust (which your Haramaki *need*, he's your only source for regular Hacking Devices. His WIP is sub-par, but you'll have to make due.
So, I think I wanna try Infinity. How hard is it to learn? It's not like I've ever had too much trouble learning rules, I just wanna know what I'm getting myself into. I think I wanna play Ariadna. Are they underpowered or anything? I picked them for the aesthetic, but I'd prefer not to get beat 24/7.
>>44412769
I don't really like the way they look, and not really a fan of the cheesecake appearance she has.
>>44412912
Should I drop the hmgs for points too? Is two too many?
>>44412673
>HMG Keisotsu
The only reason to ever bring Keisotsu is to be cheap order mokeys, a HMG at BS10 will not impress anyone at that price.
>Oniwaban LT
Uh, why?
>no hacker, no engineer, barely a medic
Fix that, your Haramakis will be eating E/M grenades, hacking attempts and worse from turn 1, you need to keep them in the game.
>>44412694
Look, the warpath bike is kinda neat, but it neither fits the look of infinity, nor is it the right size.
>>44413200
>So, I think I wanna try Infinity. How hard is it to learn?
It's a bit unusual, there's a lot of stuff to keep track of.
>I think I wanna play Ariadna. Are they underpowered or anything?
Not at all. I've heard USAriadna is beastly, if a bit dull.
>>44413200
>Ariadna
>underpowered
Pick one.
>>44413241
I've heard that Ariadna needs a lot of models compared to the other factions in the game. Is this true?
>>44413201
>not a fan of the cheesecake
Might have picked the wrong game, then.
>HMGs
HMGs are always nice to have, the trouble is that Keisotsu are shit. Consider instead Husong Yaokong remotes, for example.

Well, depends on how you bild your list, but, yeah...

>>44412673
What type of missions do you think you will be playing though? That will shake up your choices. One Oniwaban is sufficient. Boarding Shotgun + TO:Camo is hilarious.
T.A.G.s are not terrible, they just happen to be in that "all eggs in one basket" area. Most you have to build a list around except for feckin' Geckos.
Why don't you like Tokusetsu again? If you are taking an aggressive Lt. you will definitely want to bring a Kempetei.
>>44413209
What's wrong with the oniwaban?
>>44413425
Skin tight body armor is at least justifiable, getting her tits out not so much.
>>44413516
I was planning out my next purchases. I don't mind them at all, I didn't realize how important they are. It's the bikes I don't like the look of.
Would haramaki and a tag fit in one list with enough support with a remote or maybe oniwaban?
>>44413729
>Skin tight body armor is at least justifiable, getting her tits out not so much.
Guns out. Tits out. Is definitely in her character. I love the model, and I include her in every JSA list I take. At least make a "count-as Asuka." She's got a great profile.

>>44413200
The basics are not hard at all, you can look some induction videos on Youtube. But things can get tricky as you delve deeper into more complex rules.
No faction is under or overpowered in Infinity I'd say, they just all play differently. Ariadna from what I know just has a lot of weak units with good weapons and also basic camouflage.
>>44409118
>tfw you fuck up your models because of an anonymous comment
I do like how the light shotgun guy turned out a lot though
>>44413200
In ITS play - specifically - if any faction is OVERpowered, it's Ariadna. Largely because ITS tends to rely on having lots of specialists and big order pools, and Ariadna does those two things better than anyone else.
There are some specific missions under ITS that Ariadna is not necessarily as good as other factions at, but as a rule, they're the best.
If you're not playing an ITS format, then IMO there is no "best" faction, aside from the one that matches your playstyle the best. People have started out on one faction, done terribly, switched to a sectorial or another faction which rewards a different playstyle, and done incredibly well. Do note that "it's not your list, it's you" is a lie. Your list absolutely matters. It just matters less than any other miniatures wargame out there.
>>44415144
dude, tattoos are done with light layers or watered down black, not right out of the bottle ya fool. Ambitious choice, though, face tats. I totally respect that. I did an emile-from-halo-reach style skull scratched onto the helmet of my icestorm mobile brigada... took. 5 tries, with 3 tests on flat card first.
>>44415144
I see nothing to be upset about.
>>44415144
Which anonymous comment told you to paint your models like shit, before trying tattoos?
>>44417147
Piss off. From three feet away on a tabletop, those are going to be just fine. Almost nobody's minis look good at that resolution and up that close. Even up close, they have a cell-shaded look that I kind of dig.
Infinity models are hard to paint in the first place, and not everybody owns/like airbrushes. Brush-painting is just fine, and at least anon's made a goddamn effort, unlike most people.
Would you give him shit over his minis if you were talking to him face-to-face at an ITS event?
>>44417271
>Being this defensive about youre shitty models
I shiggydiggy
>>44417439
Yeah, totally him. The only person who can possibly think you're a Bakunin-sized cunt is the person whose paintjob you're shitting on. Utterly impossible to be anybody else, right?
>>44413729
JSA's factional benefit is aggressive LT profiles and the cheap Chain of Command in the Kempei to allow you use the LT order without fear. The Oniwaban is pretty much the definition of a suicide LT so a Kempei is necessary. Also consider Shinobu as a possible upgrade from the Oniwaban lt. She's a lot less all or nothing with her ability to provide smoke for support.
I'd keep Keisotsu all in one command group just in case you need to form them as a fireteam. Consider using their FO profiles to fill in specialists and have the option for flash pulse aro.
>>44417579
>using a TO Lt
It's losing the benefits of hidden deployment, or starting out in LoL.
>>44417147
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little puta? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Intruders Assault Commandos, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Aleph, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entirerty of the Nomad fleet. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this Human-Sphere, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over Maya-Net? Think again, cabron. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies in Tunguska and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, niño. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Corregidor Jurisdictional Command and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the galaxy, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, esé.
But ancient copypasta aside, what should I work on to make them look better?

>>44418092
Thin your paints,and practice. More layers would not be amiss, as your highlighting appears to be base colour, plus one highlight colour.
>>44418092
>But ancient copypasta aside, what should I work on to make them look better?
Disregarding this asshole,
>>44418131
The highlight colour on shotgun guy's skin is too distinct from the rest of his flesh, so he looks a bit plasticy. Consider a wash to blend the two layers together. Do it thin enough that the tattoos still show and they might even be better for it. On the same guy you could, use some black to seal in where the orange has leaked out of his bootlace. That kind of stuff is only visable at this res though, so shrink your pictures to protect from jerks. Or you could not bother because your stuffs fine and I at least would be pleased to face it.
>>44418958
>Thin your paints,and practice.
But remember, don't take pictures of your work and post them while you're practicing. It's not like you should expect to recieve help or advice on the internet. Really, you shouldn't post pictures of your minis unless you're as good as one of CB's studio painters. Otherwise >>44417147 will be mad.
>>44413342

>>44417579
>>44417869
Ah, ok, so what would you suggest? A Domaru? The O-Yoroi?
>>44417869
Sometimes you need the orders. You can mitigate by holding in reserve or playing the camo shell game.
HD is a good option for hackers, sniper rifles, and missile launchers, but like infiltrating across the line/combat drop, doesn't need to be exercised all the time.
>>44420109
Just saying if you want your LT to do some heavy lifting, with the exception of the O-Yoroi, bring a CoC Kempei. That way you can use your LT order and risk them in potentially suicidal situations without risking loss of Lt. It could be blowing up a valuable link team or neutralizing a highly valuable piece.
>>44419037
>Disregarding this asshole
Pardon me, but take a look at the left hand on mister skullface and say that again.
New painters need to focus on the basics if they want to get better. That means brush control. That means not being sloppy. It sounds harsh, but worry about getting better with washes, blending and highlighting AFTER you can paint-by-numbers.
>>44422016
"Need"? You must be coming from a charmed meta if you aren't thrilled that someone else but you is painting.

>>44422313
Nah man, you make valid points. But, on the other hand, look at the pro's here. I've taught many people how to paint, from canvas to miniatures to airbrush. This guy is doing a lot of things right, just needs experience.
Yes, tats are heavy handed, and his colors aren't all perfect. But his lines are pretty damn clean, barring the hands and a bit of the glowy bits. quick cleanup work at best, though.
Really, I love the color scheme. It's weird and punky. Plus, those boots, to me, just look phenomenal. Is he the next Angel? No. But neither are you and I, coming from a guy who makes money drawing, painting and sculpting for a living.
tl;dr
Shits not perfect, but it's still pretty good.

It's very limited by its shit statline for a TAG, but at least it's cheap. Not cheap enough, mind you. I mean, compare it to, say, the Tikbalang and cry. A significantly better statline, a flamethrower and CCW upgrade, Mimetism and a HMG to replace the Spitfire is worth 16pts and the loss of the Panzerfaust. And the Tikbalang isn't even very good...
That said, it's a lovely sculpt, which goes a long way for me.
>>44431561
It's a really big HI that doesn't give up VP until it loses a third wound. It's a mediocre tag in a sectorial with zero heavy stuff, which means it can do just fine.

Let's play a game.
You have just won a promotional contest and now get to decide on one (and only one) minature to be made for the game; the minature must be a recreation of a actual historical figure for any one of the human factions.
Now, who do you pick, how will the mini look, what rules/stats/gear do they get and will their new backstory be like?
Keep in mind they want to sell that mini at some point, so they'll obviously retain the right to veto your stuff.
