Last thread >>45904425
>>46005563
Because Umbra legates were too subtle.
>>46005563
It seems that the only thing Umbra enjoy more than committing horrific acts of cruelty is showing off their abs.
Also, that weapon looks incredibly silly. It's like they wanted to make a Krull-style Glaive but decided to give it a handle at the last minute.
It has a night elf glaive. Really cool mini.
>>46005761
>>46005633
It does look rather high fantasy style. Out of context, I'd have thought the first pic I saw of it to be from a fantasy game, because it didn't have a clear view of the gun.
The glaive reminds me of that one videogame though, which through a quick google search of "videogame with glaive throwing" I found it exactly to be "dark sector."
>>46005817
I'd alright with it were it an actual glaive, but the bit he's holding is a straight handle. It's just weird.
>>46005595
Is this even Infinity? It looks like 40k.
>>46005854
It's just a level of Voodootech mere humans fail to comprehend.
>>46005867
Not with pauldrons of those size.
>>46005595
That looks like total ass, like a generic Gears of War style shootmans elite bad guy. The sort of thing you would QTE to death.
>>46005817
I think that was the vibe they were aiming for. Perhaps he fills the same role as Father Knight for PanO, only in more hi tech sinister alien sort of way.
>>46005940
To be fair, that's what the Umbra always were, except they tend to QTE everyone else to death instead. At least it's sticking to the theme.
With those exposed pecs and robe thin enough to really be showing off the leg under it, I can't help but see him as some kind of alien stripper.
So next sniper shot when?
Painting up my Combined Army Starter for my first game next week.
Thinking about expanding, should I rather go for more specialists, more basic Batroids or what I'd prefer since I like that set as well the Morat Starter?
>>46006134
Depends what missions you're likely to be playing, really. If you're doing ITS/objective heavy, you'll need those specialists. If not, just kill stuff.
>>46006134
Get some Batroids if you like Batroids, they're cheap cheerleaders and some of the weapon options are downright nasty. Doctor Worm, Ikadron Batroides, Imetrons and remotes are all good to have around no matter what else you're planning on using.
I'm not so sure about the Morats. Sogarats are fantastic, but the Vanguards would be competing with your Unidrones as cheerleaders, the Oznat is locked out of most of her utility in vanilla and Raktoraks are generally underwhelming.
>>46006233
Plenty of killing-focused ITS missions now fyi.
>>46006134
There is a new upcoming sectorial that features some Morats alongside whats in the 'vanilla' CA starter, so I would probably get the Batroids first.
If you do like Morats, Rodoks might be something worth considering for said incoming sectorial.
>>46006251
Not gonna lie, I feel using batroids as cheerleaders is a waste for how good they are
>>46006618
That's why they're such great cheerleaders. If your cheerleaders are absolute shit at everything and can't defend themselves, then they'd better be damn cheap to make up for that. Batroides can work as backup specialists, order generators, potent ARO machines and more. No hacker, though. A REM hacker would be sweet.
>>46006711
Yeah, fuck backline raiding with flash pulse and template weapons to mess with you. Hide them well and the range issue isn't an issue. Better than seed soldiers or Vanguard.
>>46006421
I've not check out the new ITS stuff actually, thanks for the reminder.
>>46006711
IIRC, EVO REMs will count as their own hackers once HS v2 does appear.
>>46006782
Lots of fun killin' scenarios like Decapitation. Oh yes. Fun.

>>46006748
Vanguards give them a run for their money. They have the advantage of being able to go prone and being good at dodging, as well as having HMG and cheap hacker loadouts.
Seed-Soldiers are just trash, though. They're in dire need of a rework.
>>46006817
Typical scumbag pan0 security company.
>>46006841
There are usually better uses for all those SWC rather then wasting them on mere 'guards.
>>46006817
The merc should have put his comms unit on loudspeaker. Half a minute listening to that idiot droning on about escape routes and the Samaritan would have fucking fallen asleep.

>>46006841
>prone and dodging
Useful abilities in general, but when they're going after your cheerleaders, which are almost certainly stashed in terrain where the only LOS avaliable comes from getting close to them anyway, I'd say there's more important things. A vanguard won't survive much, but at least 2 template weapons will probably kill that attacker.
>HMG and hacker loadouts
I admit I haven't seen many with these. I suppose if Daktari make it work then Unidrons aren't that different.
>seed soldiers
I've found their camo to be frustrating and obscuring in the early game, at least. Of course, you rarely see them outside of Shasvastii armies for the most part.
>>46006884
Leftover SWC can be hard to spend for some builds, though.
Speaking of these guys, do we know anything about the Umbra other than the fact that they're massive edgelords that the EI uses as field agents when it can't be fucked bringing in an aspect? Because as it stands they just showed up one day and had very little explained about them. The Sygmaa were similar, but they at least manage to be interesting.
>>46007231
Prob not until Human Sphere v2 decides to make an appearance. Hopefully there will be scans for those who can't get the early release.
Lol no, I'm not fielding the Samaritan as it is. Not gonna argue about silhouettes all the time, not gonna keep a S template glued to him.
>>46007593
You could probably remove all that tentacle-cloak bullshit at the bottom without too much trouble.
>>46007593
The model also looks like it'll fall over if you set it on the slightest angle.
>>46007650
I wouldn't be sure about that; there seems to be a decent amount of stuff extending back across the base to counterbalance the torso.
It might depend on where on the base you'd mount it, though.
>>46007593
This model is pretty trash tier.
Designed exactly like one of the GW C'tans except they got lazy and just gave him "mist lol!" instead of legs...
CB been dropping the ball with this CAD shit.
>>46005854
>>46005817
It's clearly a reference to Krull or some video game.
>>46007688
Yeah, but Krull and the vidya with derivative weapons generally make all the points on their stars look the same, instead of having one be an ausism-triggering handle. The more I look at it, the dumber it seems to me.
>>46007642
Yep, looks much better. Still gotta do something abut that gun.
Samaritan is a big meh from me. I dont play CA so doesnt matter. I'm still more intersested in the HVTs and the HSN3 preorder mini
Oh lol, the model is atrocious. Pose, height and over hang is preposterous.
I, for one, like the Samaritan.
Just bring us Human Sphere N3 three months ago already.
Any good army builder app? Will there be a Shasvasti I unit for Onyx Force like Morat Rodok?
Wasn't there supposed to be an Onyx Force starter?
>>46009603
Basically the batroid/umbra/fraacta box
>>46009819
Yup
They're chincing out on making vanilla starter sets dual purpose with a sectorial
Don't be surprise if the updated Yu jing starter box is also the white banner sectorial starter and the new Ariadna starter is the Ruskie sect one
Lazy spics
Hey guys. I think I've lost the leg of my Anathematic.
I was just moving them from one apartment to the other (I used to live there, now I'm moving to one in the same building), and I had the Anathematic box there, unassembled. I moved it with a bunch of stuff to the other apartment, and now it's gone.
I've looked everywhere in both apartments and still nothing.
Is there a chance I can buy spare parts or anything?
To make it even worse, I'm in South America and it's pretty impossible to get the miniatures here.
>>46011110
Complaint code. They'll send you a new one for free
>>46011187
But the box was not defective, I lost it.
>>46011532
>>46011110
ebay?
>>46011532
No one has to know.
>>46011638
I could try that and see. I'd feel badly about it, though. But I bought a shitload of miniatures from them when I was in Europe, so I could rationalize it as a 'good customer' kinda thing.
>>46011634
Could try that too. I'll have to see if I'm gonna have trouble with the shipment.
Too bad I can't just buy the part I need, since I've got a friend who's going to the US and he's gonna bring me some additional minis
>>46011753
I do this all the time. I don't know feel so bad because I buy new stuff from CB all the time. Also my OC can't stand having two models with missing part on one
>>46011753
Maybe try giving them a call and if they don't budge remind them of el oro.

My current concerns are that I don't know if I have enough specialists/am too heavy in heavy weapons, I'm debating replacing the Bao with another Tiger Soldier w/ MSR but I don't know if +1BS and mimetism is worth losing MSV2, and I don't know if I'd be better served using a Ninja rather than an Oniwaban (the Ninja is cheaper and has more options for equipment, but I can only imagine the murder and terror that a well-placed Oniwaban can cause).
>>46012932
Well, you're 8 points short, so you could maybe degrade oniwaban and upgrade something. I'd advise to not put second AD troop in addition to TO camo unit, in addition will this limit your order pool early game, it will also mean your opponent can tell pretty easy something is missing and take precautions. Ofc this could also work for your benefit if he goes into panic mode.
>>46012932
You're 8 points short and Kitsune is strictly better than Oniwaban. Also, two assault hackers, one FO and no other specialists? your HI cry for want of Fairy Dust from a non-assault HD and the total lack of docs and engineers could hurt you on objectives if you're doing anything ITS
>>46007735
Plenty of throwing blades were asymetric. It's just folks here being autists who never surf the arms and armour threads.
I never noticed how funny this mission sounds
>>46013909

D'oh, forgot that one and didn't look carefully enough.
I like the new list. You've got three extremely good ranged pieces, all basic specialist types covered, and for the most part you're not doing your main job with less than a 13 skill. You start out with 8 orders on the field assuming you hidden deploy and AD but that's not necessarily going to bother you. Camospam will be a drag to face, but isn't it always?
>>46015376
I like it more, but I'm incredibly biased in favor of Guilang
It is a thing.
So I'm trying to get into this game and it's been interesting.
My understanding of the game right now is that it is supposed be heavily objective based and that's what everyone is trying to accomplish and apparently only specialists can take objectives.
My question is if only specialists can take objectives why would you ever at with none specialists if the game is so objective heavy? Like sure, your TAG is cool but my hacker can literally turn it off and can claim objectives at the same time.
>>46017227
Specialists cost some extra points, enemy can kill your specs so you want to give them covering fire etc. Also TAGs are not that good and your observations are quite good.
>>46017227
Yes. This is why TAGs are seldom seen in ITS and also why many people get disappointed in that system and switch to YAMS, 20x20 and similar stuff because ITS at its best is Ariadna camo spam.
>>46017414
>YAMS, 20x20
Please explain
>>46017474
I second this, because I have no idea what anything means in this game
(I just want to play with Geckos and Iguanas...)
>>46016478
>inb4 wooden cart
I... honestly have no clue. The green/blue reminds me of the CA bases, but OH SHIT I JUST GOT IT it's the hair on the YJ HVT! Oh man I hope I'm right
>>46011753
CB doesn't mind sending a part or two as long as they don't have to do it separately. If you wanna be 100% good with your conscience, just ask them when you have an actual mispack or when you order something from their webstore. That's how I got extra Caskuda wings I fucked up.
Also, make sure you're 100% clear when describing the part or wou will get the wrong one. I think I still have like 8 right-side wheel assemblies for Nomad Zonds.
>>46017474
>>46017549
YAMS and 20x20 are different mission systems. From what I recall of both of them, they work similar to ITS but you draw objectives from a random pool of cards (several), and discard some of them. All models can also complete objectives but specialists get bonus WIP or whatever.
Allows you to take more of the units you want rather than all specialists all the time.
>>46017685
So each player would have different objectives or are the objectives for both sides?
>>46017768
Different. They're also classified, IIRC.
http://www.wargamingtrader.com/yams
http://www.data-sphere.net/the-20x20-infinity-scenario-system-version-2-0/
>>46017685
That sounds cool but let me guess, no one plays it because it's not the official rule set right?
>>46017869
I wouldn't know, but that seems probable. Of course you're only required to ITS at official tournaments. Corvus Belli won't send out a hit squad on you like GW.
>>46017924
Figures. The guys in my area are going out of their way to cheese their way to victory every team I play so I guess I better go buy a bunch of specialists.
It's unfortunate the starter boxes only have one specialist in them. I love burning money on models I'll never play
>>46018016
I know this is going to blow your mind, but tournaments are about winning. Which is why i fucking hate them.
But I'm not going to wine about people playing to win in a fucking tournament.
>>46018108
I'm shocked, just shocked. I was talking about just regular game days though, not tournaments
>>46018016
Could try to get new blood into the game and raise them correctly.
It could happen.
>>46018160
I am the new blood. So glad I bought this Iguana which is apparently terrible
>>46018203
It really isn't, it's a pretty great budget TAG; it gives you a good piece for clearing enemy specialists while not taking so many points that you can't afford your own.
>>46018203
In fairness that thing is only 70ish points, which still lets you grab all the specialists you might want. Not that you do.Geckos are also getting fireteam:duo, IIRC. So at least that's something.
But rly, I'd try to pull a mate or two into the game and you could play it as was intended with them. This is part a system problem and part LFGS problem.
>>46018016
What starter boxes are you talking about? Most boxes have multiple troops that have at least one specialist profile. Most line troops can be FO or paramedics.
Non specialist troops usually are tougher or carry gear you want on your way to claim objectives. Either to secure your way to the objective or deny those objectives to your opponent.
This is assuming an objective is a box you need to pick up or a switch you must flip. There are other missions which focus on killing and having more points in a territory.
These are the missions where a fast mover with good stats, toughness, and good weapons like a TAG really shine.
>>46017549
>>46017474
Those are fan-made mission systems. Yams draws several cards like classifieds, 20x20 rolls shared primary & secondary missions. YAMS has no specialist category at all, 20x20 does but everyone can do the mission just with a penalty to the rolls.
>>46018160
>>46018203
>>46018316
>>46018323
I routinely play with a TAG vs my friend, and we've been having pretty close games. Just have a talk with the people you play with and ask them to bring something similar, I'm sure a lot of them own a TAG from their beginner days or just because they look awesome.
Or in the case of ariadne 20-order meme "anti-weeb douche brigade" players, don't play them.
>>46018469
>in the case of ariadne 20-order meme "anti-weeb douche brigade" players, don't play them.
WAT?
>>46018497
The specific subset of players that insist ariadne is the best faction because it's the least weeb, and bash on everyone else for having fun.
Remove poland.
>>46017564
Yep, seems to be the same color, so probably right.
>>46018203
The Iguana is a great TAG, and the kind of TAG I would recommend to a beginner. It's a surprisingly durable HMG with 4 wounds at an affordable price. It's fast enough with a long range gun to teach you TAG tactics without the need to be tethered to an Engineer.
It packs a repeater so as long as you have a hacker backing you up, you discourage hacking attempts on you.
Nomads are also extremely rich in specialists, many of them multi purpose, capable of getting themselves where they need to be, and under 26 points. You can afford to bring an Iguana and plenty of specialists.
That said TAGS do have a bit of a learning curve.
I'm not a lore person but why aren't the naffatun a part of the hassassin bahram sectorial? they sort of look the part
>>46011110
Give him a peg leg. Make him a pirate.
>>46019336
>That said TAGS do have a bit of a learning curve.
Yeah, no kidding. My first few TAG games I ended up on the receiving end of possession. It hurt.
>>46019905
Looking the part is not good enough evidently.
Of course, who knows what changes HS will bring.
>>46019336
>That said TAGS do have a bit of a learning curve.
New players also tend to be drawn towards TAGs, which can be a problem when they're some of the hardest units to play well against even a halfway decent opponent.
>>46018664
I find the poland players to be more about winning than weeb bashing. WAACunts ruin everything, but at least Infinity is much harder to ruin than other games like 40k and Warmachine.
>>46019905
Lore-wise, the Hassassins are a secret society of religious terrorists; the Naffatun are just members of the Haqqislam army with flamethrowers.
Of course that begs the question why the Hassassin Bahram have access to Ghulam Infantry, but every sectorial can access at least one cheap line infantry unit.
>>46015376
It's not a bad list. Personally I find it's a bit order light considering the number of heavy hitting pieces in there. The 4-2 on the Yan Huo can exacerbate that problem.
If you really need a MSR but don't want to spend up for a Guilang, remember that you can always use the crutch that is spec ops (if they're allowed) for a 12xp CG+BS12+mimetism+MSR.
You can also save a point by downgrading the Yisheng and Mech engineer for Toketsu Butai versions of them. Also, since you already have a CG hacker, you could save a few points downgrading the Tiger Hacker to a Paramedic if you just need him to be a specialist.
Depending on how many points you scrounge up, you can put the Oniwaban in a second group (pulling him back to the main order pull with a command token when something dies) so you can have closer to a full 10 orders at the start.
>>46020411
The Ghulam could be coming under the guidance of an Asawara, or sent by an Asawara. Because the Asawara aren't part of Hassassin Brahman either.
>>46021054
Ghulam are essentially the 'common' guardsmen that can originate from any part of Haqqislam. Since the Haqqislam army has a very large % of population as soldiers (compared to other factions), and since the Shahnate is not all Hassassin cultists, there are bound to be some unaligned local boys that become said Ghulam.
When you ARO with a missile launcher, do you still place the template and hit people that aren't part of the order, just as a normal roll? Same with flamer template weapons.
>tfw you're such an edgefag you like the look of the Samaritans
Or are my CA blinders on too tight.
>>46023462
If you ARO with a missile and you use template mode, you do place the template. Same with flamethrowers.

There's a certain appeal to his raw, unadulterated edginess. He looks like he just wants to teleport behind people and cut them in two while muttering "Psssh... nothin personnel... kid" under his breath, and there's a certain purity in that.

its a little overdone but it doesnt suck as badly as some people are making it out to
>>46026092
It's nicknamed the potato for a reason. It's likely to get resculpted at some point.
>>46017227
Specialists rarely have heavy weaponry and so are pretty easy to kill. One of the new ITS scenarios reward the player who kill more specialists, while still having objectives, so spamming cheaper specialists is actually detrimental.
This might be optimistic, but I'm looking for some Squalo lineart/trace to use in choosing colour schemes. Pic related - like this Icestorm one.
>>46005563
>>46005595
Bostria confirmed that the Samaritan has Super Jump.
I hear people talk about Poland, is that what the manager of my local store does when he takes a 30 order Ariadna list and spams Traktor Muls
Also is it necessarily bad form that the LGS manager and tournament organiser plays in that ITS tournament, wins and gets the prize?
>>46028870
>spam Traktor Muls
What? All 2 of them? Fiend!
>Also is it necessarily bad form that the LGS manager and tournament organiser plays in that ITS tournament, wins and gets the prize?
I'd probably give the prize to second, second price to third etc. But it's his tournament, his rules (literally).
>>46028870
I don't know, they didn't make the rules so I don't see it being bad unless there's a dispute. Fucking hell I hate people bringing 2 full combat groups I wouldn't be able to stand 3... I'd just concede and play another game with someone who wanted to play a skirmish game instead of a army game.
>>46028870
>Also is it necessarily bad form that the LGS manager and tournament organiser plays in that ITS tournament, wins and gets the prize?
Astonishingly so. He should be there as a bye buster, not as a full blown player. He's the guy that deals with rules disputes.
What's he meant to do when he accepts the prize from himself? Thanks himself for organising the tornament?
>>46028870
How do you spam Traktor Muls? Baggage remotes have a permanent AVA of 2 across every faction and sectorial.
>>46029273
>>46029434
I more meant take both Muls and shitloads of FOs then missile spam everything.
He has said his plan is "my opponents can't push buttons if they can't get to the buttons"
>>46029545
I should add the 30 order list was at 400 points and was basically missile bots, Dozer, a DO EVERYTHING mimetism specops, 3 Devil Dogs and the rest FO and sniper Grunts

My gf's sister is an artist, mainly painter, but she sculpts too, and she has offered to sculpt the Anathematic's missing leg for me.
Does anyone has a clear pic of it? I'm searching specifically for the part, but I'm not finding it anywhere, and most anathematic pics don't show that second leg too well. It's the left one
>>46029943
You may as well take the opportunity to customize your model. There are thousands of Canon Anathematics out there, but only yours has that level of love and care out into it. Go wild with the concept. This guy has a replacement leg...would it be some kind of fast growing flesh, cold metal, hexagon-covered? Would it be weaponized? Do your own thing, man.

>>46029943
I still support the peg leg Anathematic. Your gf's sis could sculpt a hook hand and eyepatch for it too, or even an alien parrot.
>>46030156
>or even an alien parrot.
Or a half hatched Shasvastii seed pod?
>>46028870
It is bad form. If the TO plays because there's an odd number of players or whatever, they should be excluded from the classification.
>>46029990
Yeah, I was thinking about that also. Maybe even adding some stuff to the rest of the mini to make it appear as it's coming out of camo or something like that could be cool.
>>46030156
That's also a great idea.
The thing is, I don't even know if she'll be able to make a decent leg. First time she's sculpting with green stuff.
>>46030017
Thanks man
>>46028870
>>46029612
I'd find it pretty disconcerting and poor form. Especially if he is taking spec-ops.
At 400 points, though, you can certainly take a ton of shenanigans yourself, regardless of whatever army you run. A ton of TO, smoke, camo/mines and TR bots can help in your reactive turn. A Swiss Guard/Hac Tao with a missile launcher can be problematic to deal with.
Is taking a 10 order list at 400 points a good idea if it contains Achilles and a Marut
>>46032386
Probably not. You don't really need or want more than one rambo per combat group. Now, if between dakinis and netrods you could get a 16+ order list with Achilles in one group and Marut in the other...
N3 got officially announced, pre order March 28th.
>>46032386
I am inclined to say no, particularly since ALEPH has AVA 3 netrods. If you honestly can't find room or are already at max AVA, you probably are over indulging on something. Whether it's mission critical troops or just plain board coverage, you probably have a big hole somewhere.

With enough orders in pool that Iguana can kill off enemy specialists in the first turn and then stand somewhere being a pain in the ass to move around.
And then you move in with your Tomcats and Morans on turn two.

hey. i would like to choose a faction. I really like Ariadna but unsure if i would like to go all Russians or all US. is this even a good choice for this faction ? or should i take a combination of sub factions ? i really like the models for those to lines (with few exceptions). any advice ?
>>46035195
Currently going full Kazak doesn't have any bonus for your army, as they lack sectorial list. USAdriana sectorial is the newest one and so is a bit lacking in models currently.
>>46035195
All Russians is in vanilla only anyway, so you'd have access to everything if you want it. You could always take a Maveric or Desperado alongside your Spetznaz, Veteran Kazaks or Tankhunters.
All America is more focused, no Kazaks, Scots or French, but you get a shitton of Grunts. Hope you like Grunts.
hmm...i see... so french fare better if they have a sectorial list ?
>>46035394
Well, if it's not a sectorial, it's just a Ariadna list with a lot of French in it. But Ava 4 on the Chasseurs is pretty sweet, and they have some good link team options.
>>46035195
Why not try a mix at first, and then specialist depending on what you like? Remember you can usually take an army that has a lot of a given subfaction in it without issues.
i think i still consider sectorials as a formation from that awful 40k where you should always take a formation because it gives you lots of free stuff. it seems here a sectorial is not that crazy rules wise.
>>46035564
Sectorals don't really give you "free stuff", aside from the Link Team rule. You get more of the same thing while missing out on some others.
Eg. going full USAriadna gives you AVA Total for those Grunts, but forget using Spetznaz, Chasseurs or SAS. While if you go vanilla you could use all four, but you're limited to 2 Grunts.
>>46035564
Sectorials basically let you take more of some stuff at the cost of not getting access to majority of units. The main reason people play them other than thematic reasons are link teams, that let you play 3-5 guys as one unit with benefits. This really buff regular line infantry, while links made from heavier units tend to cost arm and leg. Third benefit of sectorials is that you get access to some units not normally accessible to the faction, like mercenaries or ALEPH units, or some loadouts for certain units they normally wouldn't get.
Does anyone else picture Haramaki as power rangers, or other pose and flair oriented super soldiers like the Ginyu Force?
>>46037034
Well, I do now.
>>46035394
I play vanilla Ariadna, themed around Russian units only. It's good fun, but limited.
So, how about that Human Sphere N3 preorder date?

May the Haqqislam 'friends' you betrayed come back and take their revenge on you slaver scum.
I know the largest chunk of you are Yu Jing Players, so let's speculate:
What would you expect in the long due White Banner Sectorial starter?
I've got a couple of idea, so let's speculate/wish list together:
So, first off would be the six model starter.
Most desired, of course, would be some Zhanshi resculpts. Our basic line infantry look pretty derpy so it's sometimes embarassing to field them as cheerleaders to our awesome HI.
Then, a rather glaring gap after recent releases and probably already designed by Javier: The Tiger Soldier with a Combi Rifle, so as to serve as a paramedic or hacker.
Then, here comes the wishlisting:
I would think a Daofei with a spitfire would be in order, as it doesn't have a model. IIRC Bostria confimed no reculpt would be coming any time soon but a new spitfire model could still happen, right?
Then, I'd hope for a Guilang resculpt, or maybe the BS model. That could be cool.
But what if, they make it a release like USAriadna? We could use some devil dogs and bike equivalents. So, likely to happen: Blue Wolves as a miniT.A.G.
So what could the last thing be, what can be the exclusive? I think it could be pretty sweet for a chinese snow sledder to take the place of the USAriadna pack, but I very well expect a HI. Maybe another Hac Tao, or something new.
Any thoughts?
>>46018664
I'd say that CA and Ariadna are about even for least weeb. The Combined Army's look is more heavily influenced by the Covenant than any anime I know of.
Unless Halo is suddenly considered Weeb.
>>46045739

You do realize that the Morat are Red Oni, right?
It's hard to get more Japanese than that.
>>46045927
You are really reaching man.
>>46045907
Why'd ya join em in the first place dummy?
>>46046018
The Covenant was built from a lie that was started thousands of years ago. It was made immediately after the Sanghelli and San 'Shyuum war.

Oh , so you care all of sudden
They had it coming
and just rolling with it thought
Not like some superwhiner i know
>>46045927
Sort of.
Red Oni are definitely an element of the Morat's design, but they are also clearly influenced by the Apes from the Planet of the Apes remake and the Yautja.
>>46045739
>ariadna
They still have their fair share of waifus
>>46042742
Yeah, what's happening with that? Is pan-o making a proppa effort to kick them off or something?
>>46045641
Almost certainly a Daofei and 3 Zhanshi, possibly a Tiger Soldier, probably a Guilang. A new unit might show up.
>>46047203
Uhlan a cute. Too bad she's a dirty Pan0 TAG controlled by a cowardly wageslave back at base, and not a glorious superior YJ TAG controlled by a hero of the people who isn't afraid of dirty hands.
Are Rodoks the only Morat in Onyx Force? Will there be Onyx Shasvastii?
>>46048562
There will probably be Shas and maybe another Morat in Onyx, but I don't think anything is confirmed. All Shas except for Shrouded, Malignos and Speculos are being pushed back to Acheron Falls, so I'd say that Shrouded are the most likely Shas unit to appear, based on their fluff and their status as a fairly cheap infiltrator.
>>46047621
Well, at least those Ariadna are making a legit effort to not get steamrolled now.
>>46048562
Who knows? But most likely at least a token unit.

I'm melting on their cuteness anon. Did you ever finished the painted Tik picture?
>>46049715
Yanhuo not nearly fast enough or durable enough to be a TAG, but I cannot deny the love for the HMC.
Wuming have multiple weird yet awesome loadouts like a 0 SWC multirifle with LGL, or a combi LRL. Cheap specialist makes them a pretty viable pain train option for cheap.
Sujian is basically super mobile mini TAG. Makes Geckos extra jealous. Can take 3 failed saves and still bee active.
Hac Tao more versatile than the Swiss equivalent. I'd give the Swiss the leg up on the Missile Launcher profile, but getting a template and DA CCW for busting open terrain is nice.
Crane are bloody amazing. Not always the best in a given situation, but you're hard pressed to find a situation where they don't have a fighting chance.

Played 3 flamestrike games recently. Molly, if you're here, thanks for the suggestion for running 2 missile launchers in the haramaki link.
I'd be running bikes if they weren't being stripped. Besides finding a way to fit in fairydust, is there anything I should look for with this? The haramaki link I find really powerful, and sixth sensel2 to aro agaist msvsmoke is great
Currently 3-0 in flamestrike, but we're all fairly new.

>>46049924

Unless it's BS like the Seraph.

Just browse the high rated ones probably. Also, remember to fight in the right zones if you can.
>>46050285
seriosly nigga, you dont think a TAG can maneuver better then a yan huo?
>>46049596
Well, the Crane is my favorite. I don't play YJ though. I just really like the model.
>>46049734
Unfortunately no. I was far along, but before I could back the psd file up, I lost it. The recent news of the Stingrays coming before Gencon really got me going again - the Ulhan was a recent addition.
But first Chasseurand the maybe a female Hardcase
>>46050204
Camo TAG, dude. Still, I wonder if it'll get reworked in some way. I assume the Tikbalang will to make it more appealing since Toni is getting canned.
>>46050310
>failed to see the point
I know you are rabid TAG powerfag, but here i tell you...
In this game, maneuverability cannot be measured by mov value alone, you must also think about how this unit can avoid enemy attack and counterattack, like
Shots, stray missile, wb, stickies, mines, exploding hugbears, e/m, hacker, SM hacker, sneeki hacker, sneeki ninja hacker, 4chan hacker, rigger-hacker multiclass, etc.
And then came TAGs, packed with fancy toys, and armoured to boot, but this thing are big as hell, cannot go indor, cannot tactical sneak, cannot take cover properly except behind bigass bilboard, cannot dodge properly, and fuckin expensive as hell, take a blow and BAM, half your armies gone, for good.
There are more of this weakness, but that alone can make your expensive not-gundam cannot even go out of its own bathroom, easily locked them in one place. Say goodbye to that delicious movements.
I'd really like to adapt infinity to work on a smaller game board. Something like 2' by 2'. It'd probably be too hard, but I like the intimate feel that small boards have.
Probably has nothing to do with this general, because the infinity system wouldn't work on a board that small.
>>46050485
Play with really small points values, like 100 would be great. I've been wanting to do a spec ops multiplayer game, and do it as an arena shooter with character customization with each death.
>>46050498
I'm probably going to play around with a mate one day, designing a board, and making a game, which can feature snipers, lgls, long lasting smoke, reinforcements and nonsense ontop of the system for a small board. Keep AROs, adjust some of the ranges, customize the command tokens, and add in some additional purchases.
>>46050310
Even if it does move faster, the optimum range of its main weapon (usually some sort of HMG) usually means it is pretty much stuck at its half of the table unless it wants to shoot at net penalties.
Worked on the gun. How's this looking? Still terrible?
I speed painted a warcor too.
>>46051436
Its smoother than the girl
Well done
I haven't played a lot yet, but I'm going to face PanO with my Nomads this weekend. What sort of units would be efficient against them and any tips and tricks that I should be aware of? I know that the guy I'm going against almost always uses a HMG Aquila as well as a sniper Nisses. I think he has a Cutter as well, but I've never seen him wield the tag.
>>46052198
Uberfallkommando, Intruders (duh), and of course smoke giving units like morlocks or jaguars, Lunkhod remote's decent, along with other remotes. Interventor's nice for hacking, especially with all the repeaters you get access to. Moran Masai hunter's practically an auto-include. It depends on what you prefer, or handle in play style.
>>46050479
In shooting, unless you are staring down a linked or TO missile launcher, chances are you will win those face to faces unless you trigger way too many AROs.
Many of those other counters are pretty short ranged, which is what you use that mobility for, staking out a good piece of cover while keeping away from those counters. And of course you shouldn't be overextending unless you need to break through for your other troops or you have a chance to cripple their order pool. The threat of AD and hidden counters should however, be respected.
>>46050772
Even if you keep a TAG on your half of the table, the ability to switch sides in your back line to a new firelane is powerful.
>>46052198
A hacking device plus and the repeaters to support (hello Moran) is not a bad choice. White noise can get you some breathing room. If you're comfortable with them, the Uberfall can answer those threats as well with zero Vis/eclipse smoke and the ability to utterly wreck them in melee. Board control elements in general to stymy their advance.
If you are playing a button pressing mission, generally the plan is to play sneaky and steal those objectives while avoiding the Pan O hammer.
If it's a killy mission, consider some AD to catch him in an uncomfortable spot. Hell cats can bring some big guns while Toms have good mobility. Not as crazy as in previous editions, but repeaters to spotlight hack some missiles in can kill quite a lot. TAGS may be worth bringing out, as are the remotes with supportware. Avoid trying to take on the Aquila with the Intruder, that's a fairly risky face to face when you could be using him to bully other assets.
March release official pics are up.

They should've gotten Angel to paint Tariqa. I bet he would've done the eye catching pattern instead of the solid color.
It's ok though, I forgive David Anta De Frutos.
>>46053495
With Achilles, I would say he falls under the "CC" pose in which they explicitly allow whatever gun you want on close combat poses because the gun isn't shown on the model, at least.
Also, it's better to check with the TO as they're most likely forgiving for certain model use.
>>46053655
I am talking about Hoplite Achilles, whose normal model has a MULTI Rifle while the alt sculpt has no gun.
>>46053687
Yeah, no gun, therefore a close combat pose, therefore you can say that's a spitfire on his person.
>>46053495
Ask your TO. I think most people will let things slide. People really only get anal when you pull shit like the 10 Morlocks or 20+ Keisotsu.
Not being able to use g:servants interchangeably particularly strikes me as petty.
>>46053325
hnnnnnnng
Voronin is listed with an AP CCW so maybe he's getting a profile.

>>46053495
Yes
So long as you dont take the piss no-one will care. People at infinity tournaments want to play games not nitpick about minor model discrepancies. Any nitpicking will be generated by rules disagreements as even tournament players dont get the rules right 100% of the time.
>>46053812
>>46053805
I am going to.the store for some games and will ask but he told me "if there is a model for the profile you have to use it" was the rule when I signed up.
>>46054028
Right now I alternate between a dog, a cat, the Commtech, and a guildball football.
Because why not.
>>46054028
>>46054035
it's funny you say that, I was told by a TO using non-CB models for HVTs was a DQ
>>46054077
Suuuure and which small time, with autism said that?
>>46054208
Staff at my local store which is the only place locally that does Infinity organised play
>>46054358
>>46054208
It seems he takes the ITS rules 100% inflexibly, particularly the "only proxy if the profile does not have a model" and "absolutely no third party models" parts.
>>46054428
People like this are detrimental to the hobby; if I want a list without duplicate models I should be able to use fitting non-CB models as well as CB ones.
>>46054483
I don't agree with the use of non-cb model for your army but the hvt is a s2 silhouette that is placed on the table and interacted with dice roll
So my local group isn't super helpful when it comes to new players. I'm working on a list that I can build towards using the contents from the Nomads starter.
This is what I came up with
ALGUACIL Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (12)
ALGUACIL (Forward Observer, Deployable Repeater) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (12)
ALGUACIL (Forward Observer, Deployable Repeater) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (12)
INTERVENTOR Hacker Lieutenant (Hacking Device Plus) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25)
INTRUDER (X-Visor) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 43)
MOBILE BRIGADA MULTI Rifle + Light Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (39)
IGUANA HMG, Heavy Flamethrower / . (2 | 71)
SPEKTR (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (32)
REVEREND HEALER MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, EXP CCW. (37)
JAGUAR Light Shotgun, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (13)
4 SWC | 296 Points
Apparently I need specialists if I'm going to do anything, the Inventor is the best hacker in the game, and /tg/ is obsessed with Jaguars for their smoke grenades. I took an Iguana because I have one and it's really cool.
What can I add/take away to make this better?
>>46054428
So does this mean I can never field the CSU for my NCA army as the only CSU model was a limited run?
>>46054806
You already got 6 specialists in a group of 10 and the general rule of thumb is 4/10, so I think you're ok in the number of specialists, i may suggest trying to fit in an engineer if you want to have one specialist for each type of scenario/classified objective. Perhaps a wildcat or clockmaker?

Officially? Fuck it, it's not being sold so proxies are legit (see CB article advising to proxy LE Muet with basically any Tohaa)
If someone's trying to be holier than the pope, like in the example above? No, but in that case why give a shit? If you absolutely have to field a CSU, get the VIP model which is basically the same, convert the briefcase to have a gun, bam you're done. If the TO doesn't allow CB models' conversions, set fire to the store. salt the earth, kill his entire bloodline so the blight doesn't spread.

So you'd prefer to have 5 of the same model?
So any model can be an HVT right? is it technically a marker or a model in your army for proxy rules?
