Previous Thread: >>47966847
Blackjack.
>>48015430
If true, was expecting more shoulder/back mounted weapons not more underhand HMGs.
>>48015430
If that's true, more techy than I was hoping but still decent.
>>48015430
I'm pretty sure that's a haq HI that they had a silhouette preview for recently.
>>48015615
Looking closer it does seem like the Ahl Fasad promo. Also noting the style of the HMG isn't like the others in USAriadna.
Though it does feel pretty America. Guess not enough contrasting greens and glowy spots on the forearms.
Even barring the paintjob, the heavy pistol is absolutely the American design.
>>48015808
And Aleph there only seems to be one design for it. The HMG is Haqqislam, the writing is also not American.
>48009437
>I've seen pics of a fully completed Blackjack model.
>It has Heavy pistol in its right hand, Belt fed heavy machine gun in its left.
>Chunkier, rounder, Azrail, with a helmet that looks like a Moblot recessed in a deep neck guard.
>Right foot up on a broken piece of what looks like a Father Knight.
Welp, sure looks like the Al Fasid tho
>>48015430
If that's the Blackjack it's literally garbage.
Looks way to much like the shitty Azra'il, same exact feet and machine gun. Looks way to high tech too.
What a let down.
>>48015942
Maybe they had just assumed it was a BJ.
Similar color, heavy pistol and a yet the only S5 model we've seen nothing of. No other word of a new S5 unit yet.
>>48015430
Is that Arabic on the wrist and leg? Or just the unit icon or something?
>>48015987
>Looks way to much like the shitty Azra'il
Well the statline is basically one, so I guess they did it well.
>>48015430
Pretty sure that's this >>48008619.
>>48016005
The star and bar in the middle doesn't help.
>>48016023
It obviously is.
That spoiler-anon was clearly retarded.
>>48016036
Or on closer look, there's a dip at the bottom.
This is an Ahl Fasad.
Are any other Haqq that color?
>>48015430
The star is the unit icon the Ahl Fassed Regiment
Leak-anon full of shit, Blackjacks confirmed for model release never.
>>48016149
On the plus side, I don't like the model. On the downside, where my blackjack at? :'(
>>48016581
As much as I want blackjacks...not before marauders and mavericks
>>48016643
Yea those have been delayed a while haven't they.
>>48016008
Def looks like the haqq HI.
>>48015430
Are those tiny little arms sticking out from behind him
>>48016817
Looks like. Was probably asked to not show that model or something.
>>48016817
>>48016853
Hint at the Nexus? I assume simply because I really want them.
>>48016817
Its the Ninja with tac bow.
It's a cool model. Not the blackjack obviously.
Funny how the Al Fassads used to be 'knock off Janissaries'. Now they seem to be 'Knock off Az'raels', though rumor has it they're Mech deploy instead of fuckhuge guns. Which would be unique for the fatsuits.
>>48016999
>though rumor has it they're Mech deploy instead of fuckhuge guns. Which would be unique for the fatsuits.
Gee, can't wait to mech deploy my HMG to make it easier to get inside it's 8-16 rangeband...
So is the new ahl fassed the 6th member of the new starter?
>>48015430
Is it just me or is that MG bent?
>>48015430
no Al Fassed
Can you faggots please stop shitting up the WGC group with Facebook green text?
>>48017341
Seriously Esteban, wtf
>>48017341
>I'm going to bitch about something and get all upset
>That's totally going to get these idiots to stop, rather than keep at it or go harder
>Look at how indignant I am
>>48017083
Looks like the new starter has a heavy Caliphate lean to it. I'm wait until they release it as a separate starter however.
>>48017034
Looks like maybe an underslung HF?
>>48015430
That's a lot less impressive than the silhouette. It looks like a shitty Azra'il knockoff.
>>48018299
The special edition model is awesome though.
>>48018329
definately
>>48018692
>The special edition model is awesome though.
?
>>48015430
I'm holding judgement till better pics (the silhouette is broken by the models on back and this might not be the best possible angle)
>>48018864
Ditto. The angle just makes him look skinny with big hips. He is probably quite a bit deeper than he looks.
I am kind of tired of the "underslung" everything though. I really liked the Geckos holding big rifles and want to see more like them.
Heads up, Yaokongs are the daily deal at Mini Market.
>>48019689
Remote resculpts for all factions when
>>48019963
All factions? I think traktor muls are in a good place. Meteor zonds definitely.
>>48019963
I'm sure they were a modelling nightmare, but it really surprised me when the REM they chose to resculpt was the CA drones. i.e. the ones that actually looked cool
>>48018966
>I am kind of tired of the "underslung" everything though
I feel you. Having a big guy waving his pistol around when he's got a fucking machinegun is also a little stupid looking.
I know they probably wanted to (visually) differentiate it and the feuerbach azrail, but it just does not work.
>>48019963
They look fine. but I wouldn't mind new basic REMs.
>>48021447
IMO the rebots and probots are some of the worst. Those fucking legs are annoying to keep together. Also the Probots are just plain stupid looking.
>>48021722
What about net rods? They could do with some solid construction at the base
>>48021447
Well, I was talking more about the generic S3 remotes. Most of them are old as fuck. Baggage bots and combat remotes are nice enough.
>>48021628
The old ones didn't mix with the new Onyx aesthetic that's being pushed on CA.
>>48021628
The CA's design language changed dramatically, so old Drones look out of place with the new aesthetic.
>>48021722
Netrods really dont need any change. It just dont seem worth the time.
Sophotects, however, could use a new model. They look fine and only need to be scaled up to fit the rest of the newer LI.
>>48021960
>48021722
meant to reply to >>48021794
>>48021953
Wouldn't mind new Haqq REMs. Kameels are fine, but the older ones are rather cartoony.
Though I'd want them to stay bipedal. Not a lot of those out there.
>>48021953
ah k. I would say just give everything pre N3 an overhaul, but that would be expensive as fuck.
>>48021960
Fair enough. maybe a different face? just a tune up is all I think they need.
>>48021990
Tired of the chicken feet?
>>48022008
More of the flashlight look they have. Especially considering the Shihab. Expect some kind of wacky eye array or La Forge visor to really sell the 360 visor.
>>48022008
The feet are alright, what I personally can't stand are the legs. Digitigrade legs on mechs and robots are cool, but the Haqq remote legs are just backwards and it looks fucking stupid. Just imagine these things running around, they'd look ridiculous.
>>48022029
I can't help but wonder why there aren't more top-mounted HMGs on TR bots. A Sierra or Husong would have to turn their fat robot asses around completely in order to hit someone who's flanking them, and I honestly can't see that happening quickly.
Marauders when Mexicans? Marauders WHEN!!!??
>>48022339
When you hand over all your tesium, seppo scum.
>>48015401
Corvus Belli should so make a skirmish level fantasy game. I'd buy that shit in a heartbeat. Like Mordenheim if it had actual support.
>>48022451
warcrow
I'm not sure why you'd need a new fantasy skirmish game, though. There's a ton on the market (and off the market), many of them quite good.
>>48022524
Warcrow is a line of miniatures. It is not supported by a setting or rule system (although the names and appearances of some characters seem to suggest a slightly Asian inspired world).
Sorry, I'm new to infinity and I keep reading about "possibile new starter" (at least on this board). If I were to get the current one, the rules inside would be the same right? I mean: I know that recently they released some new rules (N3?) but they already repackaged the old rules in the starter with those right? I'm confused
>>48022690
Rules are free on their site, so regardless which ye buy you'll have stuff up to date.
Also basic starters are just minis, have to hop online to begin with.
>>48022690
New starter is not a new edition and the two-player one only has quick start rules anyway. They're simply making a new two-player one, with haqq and yj instead of PanO and nomads.
Asura sexy plugsuit thread? PAINTING THREAD!
>>48022731
>>48022765
Okay, I went on their website and saw they sell both this: http://store.infinitythegame.com/articulo.php?f=1&s=1&o=3&id=2511
and this: http://store.infinitythegame.com/articulo.php?f=1&s=1&o=3&id=2359
My point is: if the downloadable pdf has the cover from the latter (that I assume is the old edition) then it means the free rules are not updated yet? (it does say N3 underneath though..)
>>48023277
The rules are free and downloadable from the main site. N3 contains the core rules of the game and Human Sphere N3 is an expansion to the N3 core rules (which is also downloadable on the same page).
>>48023277
All the rules aren't updated at the same time. N3 is the newest edition, but there's also add-ons that provide extra rules. Human Sphere didn't actually change anything that was in the base N3 book, it just added extra shit.
The downloadable HSN3 rules are in the download section of the website, along with a bunch of other useful shit.
>>48023277
Free rules ARE updated but you need both the basic N3 and the Human Sphere N3 PDFs.
>>48023368
>>48023376
>>48023385
Oh I see, many thanks for helping me
>>48022690
Already decided which faction you will pick?
>>48022814
no one paints their minis?
>>48023467
>>48024109
Probably Nomads or Ariadna. I already own some ariadna stuff (pic related) but as I said in the previous Inf. general it was more like a collection than stuff bought with gaming in mind (pic related is beside the inspiration for the resculpted helmet)
>>48024109
I am still working on assemble. Green stuff is drying in the gaps. Airbrush primer tonight!
>>48024109
I am too ashamed of my painting to even speak of it, let alone show it.
>>48025085
Ditto friend
>>48024109
I do. Haven't taken any phots of them in ages though, I think this one's from a year and a half ago...
>>48025085
>>48025147
Not to shill for ol' turd GW, but they do make a product that is worth your time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enUqWuU-Nns
Duncan on warhammer tv youtube channels painting guide is not only pretty awesome, it is also free. It is a great way to get started because of the way he teaches the basics in nearly every video.
It shows how with a few simple steps you can get a decent table top standard for your army. (prime, base coat, wash, highlight) Infinity minis are tougher to paint than most GW stuff, but if you need to start somewhere the techniques transfer over pretty easily.
Just read that article about the sectorials, nice job Kyle
>>48015430
Definitely Al Fassed.
Not complaining. I kinda like it.
Man, I do hope the Blackjack is chunky but not Dieselpunk.
Not that I dislike dieselpunk, it's that it would look out of place even in Ariadna.
From the Haqqislam facebook group.
>>48029477
Is that a lady Tuareg?
I wonder if those are legit leaks or "leaks" like those GW does every month.
>>48030054
Didn't even notice the girl in the foreground was wearing a head wrap.
Looks like she just got out of the shower.
>>48030356
>>48030054
That's a Khawarij I think. The red headscarf is symbolic of them.
>>48015430
I think that's probably the Haqq unit we're getting at some point. I looks like an Azra'il with the numbers filed off and the hips brought in.
I'm really hoping the Blackjack is something along the lines of pic related.
>>48030054
Taureg would make a lot of sense, since Icestorm also had a thermoptic unit facing off against a drop troop (Tiger Soldier)
>>48029477
I was just describing to my friend that my "ideal Haqqislam starter" would feature the Ahl Fassed, Zhayedan (need sculpts), Taureg, Khawarij (need resculpts) and ghulams with the same uniforms as the SWC box.
Guess I'm preordering...
>>48030979
Getting it myself since I play Haqq anyway but can use the Yu Jing side to get a friend playing.
He likes Space China but not the vanilla starter.
>>48030669
I would like to see something like a hybrid between a mass effect atlas and a aliens power loader
>>48029477
Oh my god yessss! This is the perfect starter for me, since Haqq/YJ are my secondary factions.
>>48030979
I actually really like the old Khawarij sculpt other than the fact that his calves are . But he's a really cool mini otherwise. This starter looks awesome though.
>>48031522
*calves are pumped full of saline. That part of the mini is goofy as fuck but the rest of it is awesome.
>>48031549
It's for those sick jumps.
>>48030390
Looks less red to me, plus taureg has TO which is in line with Icestorm
Red Veil is actually a pretty cool name.
>>48029477
so what are the second and third yu jing units shown there?
>>48034086
Red Veil is what they call a Haqqislam wedding night.
>>48034286
Top to bottom:
Zanshi, Zuyong, Hsien
That's the currently accepted belief anyway, the Zuyong looks a bit off to me compared to the existing models.
>>48029477
Is that a Naffatun between the Tuareg and Ghulam?
>>48034287
I get it
>>48034718
That is a Zhayedan.
>>48026867
You know I always wondered how the nomad ships could travel in the circulars, and this image still has me wondering
I get that thing is huge, but that is about the size I imagined the nomad ships to be, nearly planet-sized
>>48036032
Do the actual home ships need to travel on the circulars? Wouldn't they have the shielding, etc. to the wormholes themselves?
>>48036205
>Wouldn't they have the shielding, etc. to the wormholes themselves?
I think the main three mother-ships take nearly all of the slots inside the circular
>>48036205
Circulars are a bit weird. Yes, they want to do the dune highliner kinda thing, with big tradeships carrying everyone's traffic (and the social opportunities of running into potentially ANYONE while travelling)
The Nomad Motherships use the Circulars, and that's been spelled out. Do military vessels need the circulars to go FTL? Is it just a matter of wormhole drives being hard to come by?
>>48036483
and when I say that is that one of the mother ships would take up the majority of the slots. The Nomads pay a high fee to the 012 how ever to do so.
>>48034313
It might be a redesigned Shang Ji.
>>48036032
>nearly planet-sized
I'm not sure you comprehend how ludicrously huge planets are.
Pedantry aside, the Circulars might be able to be reconfigured for particularly big jobs. A special massive cargo compartment or something.
>>48035585
Oh...I guess that's cool.
>>48036032
>planet-sized
Probably more like large city-sized plus other modules.
>>48037259
I doubt the Shang Ji would ditch the radiator spines...the Crane didn't, and that's basically a modified version of that armor.
Besides, it's pretty much matches up with the Zuyong dossier. It's just the central front pieces is projecting out more than in other representations. The head design, shoulder designs, and the kevlar vest is pretty distinctive.
The Hsien's head design seems to be a callback to the original design with bird beak. Looks weird with the white surcoat instead of the usual ISS green.
>>48037618
Yeah, that's a good point. The art probably isn't reflective of the actual models, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just look at the size of his rifle, not even HMGs are that big nowadays.
The Hsien just looks a bit weird generally. Not sure why they went for a design like the original, the original sucked ass. I'll wait until we get a look at the actual model or a dossier before I judge, though.
>>48037475
Yeah, a single planet sized space ship could easily contain more population than the rest of the Human Sphere combined.
I guess most of the Nomad nation live off their mother ship most of the time, as pretty much all of the star systems in Human Sphere seem to have millions, even hundreds of millions of people living on space stations. Corregidors most prized export are their worker force.
>>48038282
Yeah, the nomad ships are almost certainly self sustaining like a smaller Macross Colony Ship. Probably even has some wildlife like fish (for their dolphin pilots).
>>48038678
I guess we have better info when the RPG drops. Thus far we've got fairly accurate information about population centers in the preview chapters.

The concept of the cyberpunk rabble remaining themselves, and yet forming a thematically appropriate army really tickles my fancy. Incredible variety, lots of obnoxious tricks, and just the right figures for some really incredible 'play of the game' moments.
As for Arianda, they're cunning but brutal. And the whole operator thing. The way they interact with the rest of the sphere is great as well, particularly the Haqq/Nomads/Ariadna triumvirate.

Space Pirates, ahoii!
So, what's the fluff reason for China/YJ going back to absolute monarchy?
>>48043826
Stability. A figurehead, and arguably, a separation of powers that remains nondemocratic.
And it's not really absolute. The Party is balanced against the Emperor, implicitly and legally.
>>48043826
It's not an absolute monarchy. The Party is still very much in power, but they gave up their control of internal law enforcement as a sign of good will to the incorporated Asian countries. They reinstated the old monarchies as the new authority over judiciary matters and law enforcement. It just kind of turned out they're a bunch of dicks, and the sign of good will got kind of lost. Even though the Party has authority over the Imperial Court, in practice it's very hard to tell them what to do, since they make the laws and all internal matters end up in their jurisdiction.
>>48043826
It's not absolute at all. It was originally intended to be a figurehead position before one of the emperors surprised everybody by actually doing something.
As for the reason the royals were reinstated, it's pretty simple: the Spaniards thought it would be cool. Apparently there's some bullshit fluff excuse about it uniting the Chinese people or something, but it's pretty stupid.
>>48044054
>a sign of good will to the incorporated Asian countries
That always struck me as incredibly dumb. Why would other Asian nations want to be ruled by a Chinese emperor? It's not like they were all part of China when the original emperors were around. If anything those guys would be even more hated than the Party.
>>48044126
Honestly, I feel the Imperial Court was a missed opportunity. I still like them and think they're fun to play, but both thematically and design wise it would have been a lot cooler if they were based around the historical lineages of minor Asian nations instead.
Imagine if the Imperial Court was based around South East Asian royalty or something like that, and pulled recruits and aesthetics from the little guys of Yu Jing (Thailand, Korea, Vietnam). It would make a lot more sense for the rest of Asia to be appeased by a move like that, and it would allow a better spread of Asian theme throughout Yu Jing (JSA for Japan, State Army for China, ISS for everyone else).
I guess Spain just really liked the whole Manchu thing.

That might just be crazy enough to work anon
>>48045543
I love the basic idea, but what you'll find is that the number of TO's don't matter as much as the ability to supply them with orders. 2 TOs with 8 orders is better than 7 TOs with 3 orders. Because you're not going to be activating them all at once. Sure, it's very convenient to effectively have a TO in any given area, but you'll reach practical saturation pretty quickly and after that, you're hitting diminishing returns.

Don't forget that TOs don't have to be put in HD either.

>>48045996
Bit of a waste.
>>48045543
The tactical bow should be another KHD, and if you're going for the ninja clan gimmick, why not a Shikami too?
>>48046193
A combination of them not having TO (I fully recognize that 7 TO models in a list is almost certainly overkill, but I still want to do it), waiting to see what the models look like, and not knowing they were also ninjas.
>>48046124
With 26 point Ninjas available as closed information order suppliers... Maybe, maybe not. Just because they HAVE Hidden Deployment doesn't mean they HAVE to be placed into it. It could also serve as a major 'wtf' for your opponent to see multiple TO tokens in normal positions; especially with very few models on the board.
Seriously fantastic models.
>>48039917
Combined, crazy ass rules and EI aspects. Gotta love having special snowflake rules and super elite units.
>>48045483
>No need to split this one, I'm starting both!
I already play both as my secondary factions, this box set is fucking awesome. Interesting that they made the ninja/Al-Fahsed the OP:RV-only models though.
>>48046337
You put a few down on the board, it's going to be very clear that they're not Hac Tao.
>Just because they have
No, that's very true, but Ninja and Oniwaban are extremely reliant on it. Or to put it another way, they're ass if the enemy knows they're coming, like most TO infiltrator types. They're squishy, and fairly unremarkable unless they're in their niche. The Sniper's decent if you can get them somewhere good, but the rest are template bait if they don't have the element of surprise.
And it's not going to be that much of a WTF moment. There's very few possibilities for a YJ list involving a lot of TO tokens. And if you're silly enough to reveal them it's probably because there's more. Maybe an AD figure. Either way, you're lacking real firepower and door kicking power, and an opponent with a half decent forward game is going to cause disproportionate casualties. Ninjas are great. But they can't serve as the backbone of the list unless you really fluke it. An enemy running an Avatar list, or something, and you get lucky with Mono.
CB, if you have to label your minis to tell the units apart, you seriously fucked up your visual design.
I mean seriously, I love the new Zhanshi and everything else is on the awesome new standard but the new YJ color scheme is the second blandest thing after black-and-red-and-evil CA.
So I'd like to buy a new starter and expand into a secondary faction because I'm feeling like it.
Currently playing Haqqi and would like smth that plays quite different, preferably a sectorial. Nomads, Ariadna and Tooha are out.
Can you sell me on a faction?
>>48046649
...Can you seriously not tell those models apart?
New Spec Ops characters apparently coming soon.
>>48046752
Well, one has a helmet and the other doesn't :v
>>48029477
Red for the Chinese. Veil for the islam. Easy explanation for the name.
>>48046681
Well NCA would be pretty far from Haqq. Super elite shooter units, the highest of high techs available.
Alternatively, Morats. No fancy tricks whatsoever, just angry monkeys. Use your lt order with impunity - nothing you have gives the vaguest of shits if your LT dies. If you're willing to go vanilla, CA would also be a fun choice.
>>48046761
Wonder if the new CA one will be a Nexus. Would be nice to be able to link them in Onyx.
Okay, so we can pretty much all agree that Morpho-Scan is completely fucking useless, right? Or maybe I'm just a retard, because I've been trying every single configuration to make Cadmus work, and at best they just end up requiring a lot of gambling and ludicrous set-up to get mediocre results. An entire order for what will most likely be a 10% better chance on BS/PH rolls? Like, maybe if they had a lot of ARM or defensive tech and were 4-2 as a result or something.
>>48045543
I would take an Oniwaban Lt with the Keiotsu as a decoy just so some other fucker doesn't end you with a single ninja/fiday. Not convinced you need the assault hacker either. You can scare the shit out of heavies and tags already. Maybe cram in Saito so as to have smoke in two places.
>>48045165
Is that actually a female Tiger Soldier with a combi rifle that we've been demanding for a while now?
>>48046857
Looks like it
>>48046761
Depends on cost, but that's a godlike profile. Number two, specialist, a perimeter weapon, a template and a flash pulse all added to your link team?
>>48046835
The only suggestion I've ever heard is dropping the LGL one next to Sheskin, who has godtier base stats. Still silly.
>>48046835
I think the "deploy without AD, sscan Sheskiin for best scannable stats, spam cheap BS15 LGL" gimmick still works.
>>48046857
It's a hacker.
>>48045193
Snake must've gone to a doctor to get that eye fixed.
>>48046928
>>48046923
Eh, I think bringing Sheskiin along costs way too many points for a gimmick. Not to mention that the whole one full order thing means you will end up consuming a shitload of your order pool just setting it up.
>>48046807
Aww, Mad Traps are cute little goat androids.
>>48045513
>New Shasvastii
About damn time.
>>48047018
Fabulous hair. The entire figurine is visual porn.
So I wanted to make a Hassassin list with a bunch of link teams, don't know how effective it would be any thoughts?

It's always going to be an expensive gimmick to get the morpho-scan to work on your own units. Could scan a Sogarat at least.
>>48047042
Tiger Soldiers are labeled as Invincible Army now? Interesting.
>>48045513
Is there a link to the podcast kicking around?
>>48047008
Sheskin is an amazing linkteam leader though. BS 15 Red Fury in permanent cover. Points high, SWC 0. Might as well take her anyway.
The Neon Lotus terrain pack is going to be real nice for cheap terrain.
>>48047242
That's awesome!
>>48046649
Don't like it, don't buy 'em; simple.
>>48047897

As a JSA player who picked JSA over Haqqislam, bought a Tiger soldier but haven't used it for the lack of good looking cheerleaders for Vanilla Yu Jing or some of the older HI but really wanting to expand into it, this box deal is looking better and better by the minute. Literally 10/10 for me.
>>48047001
Oh shit, I gotta sell my Battlefoam Yuan Yuan now ... before it lowers in price because of its replacement.
>>48047993

>muh reading comprehension
Holy crap I love that terrain.
Wish I didn't have 3 tables of Icestorm and Hephestus....oh well, I might need 4 right?
So, I will be at Gencon.
Should I risk it selling out? Or should I just preorder?
>>48045193
>>48047071
I've been excited about Zhayedan and this guy looks totally baller. Him and the Ninja, best sculpts easily.
Haqq's my main faction and I just started picking up ISS. I really fucking lucked out
Let's see how much Whine Jing paid off. So far, of the repeated requests I've seen:
>A tactical bow ninja model
>A resculpt of their light infantry
>A replacement starter pack for theirs, which is the oldest
>A new Tiger Soldier in line with Javier's new sculpts, the combi-rifle hacker one
>Female Tiger Soldier
>New Zu Yong to accompany that older HMG one
>New Hsien that isn't a midget and androgynous.
>Pimp coat to compete with PanO pimp coats
Not checked are:
Invincible Sectorial rules
White Banner Sectorial Rules
both will be soon (tm)
also not checked is a Guilang resculpt or Keisotsu resculpt, but hey, you can't win them all yet.
They, they even dragged a new starter for Haqqislam with them.
>>48048191
>you seriously fucked up your visual design.
>>48048317
I'm really worried about how well the Year of Yu Jing has been going. It is going too well, like something awful is about to happen to compensate for it. The Year of Tohaa was so fucking bad, this can't be right.
>>48048317
Yeah, as a Yu Jing player I am so fucking happy.
We really got pampered with this one.
>>48048350
Jesus Christ they look nothing alike.
Are you the same idiot who said that all armor over bodysuits looked alike a few days ago?
>>48048353
Year of Tohaa was bad until the rules for HS came out. Sukeul, Taquil and Kaaurii are all amazeballs.
>>48015401
So, what music do you think is appropriate for the Infinity verse?
Retro-synthwave is too, well, retro.
What about something like this?

>>48048367
No, and I'm not the guy who posted the post I quoted, either.
I agree, they're nothing alike, and easy to tell apart.
>>48048391
Year of the Tohaa had 5 fucking releases. That's among the lowest for any faction. HSN3 was the year after Year of the Tohaa, so YOTT was a disaster no matter how you slice it.
>>48024109
mine are mostly unpainted or partially painted.
I lost the leg when I was stripping this one after botching my first paintjob. This one is okay.
>>48036660
>Do military vessels need the circulars to go FTL? Is it just a matter of wormhole drives being hard to come by?
I think it's been spelled out that Circulars are needed to traverse wormholes SAFELY. I would imagine that ships can try to traverse them alone risk the same fate as roughly half the ships from the Combined Army's expeditionary force to Paradiso.
As for military ships. I'm sure there are a few ships which are wormhole capable, probably larger carrier vessels which can carry a few smaller escort-class ships or shuttles with them. Now, as to which factions have them, it seems that the Nomads don't for whatever reason. I'm sure at least Pan O does, and possibly Yu Jing.

I feel like the Haqq started looks a lot worse than the YJ one.
So are the Female Tiger Soldier and Al Fassad exclusive to the 2 player box? Because they are noticeably lacking from the Stater Pack pictures.

There should be the preorder exclusive.
And I don't think they'd put the Tacbow ninja behind a hoop like that, people would cream bloody murder.
