>>44229207
>>44229469
>>44230307
You know, I think a lot of order spam problems could be solved if there simply was a 15+Lt orders hardcap. Maybe not count Irregular towards the cap.
>>44230414
Wonder how many pages of special rules they will have? I mean, Tohaa rarely do things the easy way.
If the Tohaa ever interact a lot with the Human Sphere, think they'd get along with Haqq doctors and Biologists?
>>44230667
I think they would view the haqqislam science as a joke.
Hey /ig/ im trying to use the grenzer more actively in list. Its kind of tough to fit him in since hes like an intruder, but acts more like a wildcat. Trying to see if there are ways to sneak him into list as a trump card.
thoughts on this list?

>"Seriously, you guys SYNTHESIZE ANTIBIOTICS? You don't just cultivate benevolent symbiotic micro organism and engineer those to heal the disease for you?"

>>44232357
The list is shit for ITS tournaments, cool for friendly games. If you are using expesive units (a lot of them) don't use AD troops - you are left with few orders and gonna get raped by more order efficient lists.
>>44232357
Sure wish you wouldn't upload faggy PDF files so I could give you list feedback
>>44233004
Is it really that hard to open pdf files? or are you on a mobile device?

>>44233004
Plebians like you can't even afford to play Infinity, fuck off
>>44233147
He's right though, if that list goes first it's going to have 4 regular orders, if it goes second, 3 models will be off the board
Was there ever a consensus on the effects of Viral and Shock on symbiont armor, and the effect of viral on Transmutation, the main questions being:
>Does viral/shock kill 1 W symbiont armor troops instantly, before they can eject from their symbiont armor?
>Does viral prevent dog warriors from transmuting and accessing the extra 2 wounds, killing them immediately, or does it prevent them from transmuting, but still allow them to access the extra two wounds, allowing them to live on in dog-face form?
>>44230667
>>44231948
>inb4 the Tohaa introduce subtle bioware that makes humans willing slaves to them on command
>>44232357
It's really order starved with two irregular and three AD troops. Consider dropping a Gecko for two reliable skirmishers. Moran are ideal since they give repeaters for your Lt and board control.
Alternatively replace the bs hellcat with two jaguars and jumble up the order pool.
>>44230414
I'll love it if I can play as one of them in the RPG

Of course the Kerail Preceptor which would hopefully allow you to take those biomechanical beasts

Nah, remove the AVA total crap will do the trick
Just give the max AVA of 6 for the mooks
>>44234526
> tohaa becomes what the tau were supposed to be
>>44233937
they way we play it is
>it does not kill symbiont armour troops, these models have more then one wound, the act of moving from the active to inactive is just essentially a change in game states
>by preventing transmutation the model just becomes a single one wound model and thus would die because of the shock feature of viral ammo.
>now, straight shock against transmutation wont kill the transmuted form outright because he can still transmute after taking the wound and it doesnt kill symbiont armor troops because its not the actual model taking the hit its his armor
>>44233937
>Symbiont/Transmutation: Shock or Viral ammunition does not instant kill Symbiont Armor or Transmutation troopers. Palanka
>Viral prevents Transmutation specifically by its rules text. So if a model with the Transmutation Skill (for example a 1 Wound Fraacta that has a total of 2 Wounds because of Transmutation) takes 1W from Viral, it will still not be able to transmute and as such will become Unconscious.
>It will not, however, pass directly to the Dead state as written in the Viral entry ("figures with 1W pass directly to dead") as Transmutation still effectivly make it a 2W model. Calmdown
From previously answered questions on the forums
Noob question tg
Are each of the combat group has its own separate order pool?
Or its on a single pool?
>>44237837
>>44237709
Thanks
>>44237929
Separate pools, this is to stop people putting 11+ orders into a TAG
why do people like playing MO?
>>44237706
Strictly speaking, they are kinda more like the Eldar from xenology.
>>44238418
Why do playas like playing sphass mahrines?
>>44238530
is that reall the reason play MO? big armour?
>>44238418
I play to field Joan. I havent had much luck because I just can't seem to make a list that I like. Also really waiting for Hospitaller resculpts.
>>44230414
So how do you think they'll work?
>>44238418
-Tabbards
-HI link teams that do decent in ranged and melee combat
-AVA total TO infiltrators
-Play nobody in the standard deployment zone lists
-Tough specialists
Not bad as a sectorial, my main beef is that they are probably the most insular of the sectorials since they rely on Order Sergeants who are prohibitively priced SWC wise in Vanilla.

The Hail mary hope is that he's like the symbiomates and can assign them out as g:sync pets. The reality is that he's probably a fancier weirder Auxilia
>>44238418
Space Marine equivalency aside, they're also Crusaders and Paladins who fight aliens and literal pagans. They're actually interesting since they take the pseudo-Catholic of 40k and just make it straight up Catholicism...in SPAAAACE!
They also allow the player to play a certain Saxon song and yell Deus Vult at their opponent. They appeal to me because of Crusader Kings 2 more than anything.

I may be misunderstanding the question, but Shock does not instakill models who is on 1W before Transmutation/Symbiont. It's almost strictly anti-Valor.
>>44238418
The more I play, the less I see them as Space Marine equivalent. There's a lot more of dirty politics/lobbying going on with them.
>>44241159
>The more I play, the less I see them as Space Marine equivalent. There's a lot more of dirty politics/lobbying going on with them.
Yeah, like the fact that one of the biggest reason people go to "Crusades" is that it grants them rights to resurrection, if they perform well. Like Konstantinos, who just wants to resurrect his GF that died in accident (that he cause himself, if memory serves).
>>44241217
Not just specifically military work, anything that advances the interests of the Church counts as well.
There is a reason why said Church is in its own tier in terms of lobby power rankings.

I don't want to like PanO. Stop.
>>44242316
PanO is great once you stop thinking of them as "the good guys". It's a corrupt plutocracy ruled by lobbyists with entire units of glorified state-sponsored terrorists with optic camouflage.
>>44238418
WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KIND OF PAGAN DOG?
Really like knight aesthetic and the heavy infantry angle.
>>44242316
'kay.
>>44242429
There are no good guys in Infinity. Every major faction is ruled by huge assholes, just like in real life.
>>44242547
This is one of the things I love about this game. Endless grey
>>44242547
To be fair, even real life doesn't quite have governments turning political dissidents into robo-zombies, unrestricted genetic experiments, assassin orders that murder infidels, omnipresent fascist AI, werewolf blood sports, or governments literally run by lobbies.
Infinity is The Future Sucks: The Game.
>>44238610
Mostly. New guys also think they'll have a unit that's good in CC and can take a hit (RNG brings mixed results). It's fine, most of them later jump to Morat or JSA camp.
>>44242636
That's just because we don't have the technology. We'll get there eventually.
>>44242636
No robo-zombies (just commie zombies), no fascist AI, just USA Big Brother watching us via our own laptop cameras, and werewolf blood sports as.. you know - we have no werewolf. The rest is here, now.

Alternatively you can get a normal laser pointer and get a special tip for it. Or you can get a glass rod and slap it on the front and that will make a line.
so when is miniature marketing going to go belly up after changing their shipping options? It has been three weeks and I have still not gotten my thanksgiving sale stuff.... is anyone else missing there stuff?
also, what do you guys think of the moto.tronica scenery set?
>>44245681
>is anyone else missing there stuff?
Three weeks waiting for my Customeeple stuff...
Next week I may start bothering my neighbors to see if one of them got it by mistake. Company just replied that they're sorry and that there's been a high volume of orders that day, so it could be slower than usual because of that. And I have no idea how to contact the delivery service they use.
Should have paid extra for tracking after all. I really wanted to keep it under €50 and now it's biting me back.
>>44245681
I've been waiting for over two month for my order now. Appeareantly it's no different with my LGS's orser. Corvus Belli's logistic system is just pure chaos.

Did you order something that was out of stock? CBs schedule on restocking is best predicted with sheep guts and weather patterns.
Otherwise MM is great for me and gets me my stuff on my doorstep 5 days after I order it very consistently and I'm on the other side of the country from MO
>>44234801
Who's excited about the RPG?
Just what do you think needs to be converted from the war-game to the role playing games stat wise? Can you just slap on a few more skill system and be done?
Honestly the base game is detailed enough I can see you just giving the players a unit each to play and in combat and free form the rest from there
>>44251597
It's been pointed out that the actual wargame is too lethal to make players feel empowered in any way. Pretty basic units like Wildcats are also supposed to be pretty bad-ass mercenaries which isn't really represented in the wargame, especially when you've got a model on their own.
So /tg/ I want to start an infinity army so I'm not limited to purely 40k/30k/whfb/Kow (I'm brand new to the game) but I have some issues.
Due to some strange circumstances, It's best for me to buy everything I want at once. It's not viable for me to buy things piecemeal. (going to spend a large amount of time without the ability to buy stuff, etc)
Anyways, I know I want the following-
- a viable 300 point Combined Army force
- With an Anathematic
- and NO models that could appear on the infinity ass collage.
From what I know, I need an LT (leaning towards the Skiavoros) and a Hacker.
I'd prefer to go as elite-as-possible (it was this or start a Grey Knights force for 40k) but it appears that the order pool system makes that not very viable.
So, what models should I buy?
>>44251781
>(going to spend a large amount of time without the ability to buy stuff, etc
Stop buying toys, keep that money for a rainy day.
>>44239999
>certain Saxon song
Which one would that be?
>>44251671
>Pretty basic units like Wildcats are also supposed to be pretty bad-ass mercenariesHere's the facts, they've got the power to the max
>>44251671
So what do they need to do other then maybe slap on a load of extra hit points?
>>44251846
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhDbaah9DQ
>>44252067
Slapping on a load of extra hit points just makes everything feel meatier.
I think Mophidius is on the right track. Giving more hit points, more actions that may be taken, more dice being flung around, etc. The social mechanics (intimidation and the like) feel a little shoehorned and odd, but it's probably better to overdo a particular mechanic than half-ass it.
The thing I'm mostly looking forward to with the RPG is all the additional fluff and hard numbers regarding the capabilities and aspects of different TAGS. I wanna know how much water and food storage there is for the operator, what the interior is like, how strong they are, etc.
>>44252149
Well I think it's interesting compared to that other poplar war game that got a role playing convert.
That game jump to from the d6 to percentile base system so that maths is all ready out.
Infinity is all ready a d20 based system so it shouldn't be to much of change between the two.
>>44251781
Anathematic, CA Starter Pack, Ikadron and Imetron kit. Whatever else you want, really. There's a lot of viable builds you can do for Infinity, and there are no real dead units.
Skiavoros, Charontid and Avatar comes to mind for making things elite. You could also opt for a Sogarat.
I guess you don't like cheesecake (everyone to their own) but infested Ko Dali is pretty amazing AD unit.
>>44253708
My initial goal was to start start a tyranid army, but I wanted it to be elite (and that means going flyrant centric) so it became difficult to build, and people were starting infinity near me.
Basically, I wanted an army that's as non-human and elite as possible. Having a model that is part of the ass collage doesn't help with that.
Also, I was told it's not viable to have either 2 anathematics or 1 and an Avatar in a single list, I assume because then I won't have enough orders?
I really don't like the order pool system.
>>44253835
Isn't "elite" Tyranid like double FOC with four flyrants or something? Anyways...
You might not like the order pool, but that's like not liking the Stack in MTG or D6-base of 40k - it's central to the gameplay, and you'll need to play with it. I'm a huge fan of small elite strike forces and I play Aleph with 8-12 models. You need something to actually support your big dudes besides just giving it more orders; establishing fire lanes, providing cover fire, etc.
You could totally play with what you said; you'd need to cheapen out on your support to field them, but you could put up a good fight in YAMS or other.
Orders and ARO is a big thing in Infinity - and I don't know about investing in a war game you won't enjoy...
I myself just want to run an army of nothing but line kazaks and speak with an outrageous Russian accent all game. I think I'll need a hat, too...
>>44254676
Nothing but line kazaks isn't particularly good, but it's easy to do an entirely Russian force. There's a good selection of figures there.
>>44251597
>Who's excited about the RPG?
Now that I've had a chance to look at Mutant Chronicles and have seen assurances from the company that hacking will be more interesting in the final product than in the quick start, I'm quite excited.
>>44245681
Did your order include a preorder? They are incredibly slow when it comes to preorders
>>44254676
>Doing this but with USAriadna and a cowboy hat.
We should play.

>>44260970
Thank you man.
Haqqi newbie here again.
I can't wrap my head around which specialists to buy.
So for the list contains: Janissarry Doctor, Hunzakut FO, al'Hawwa Hacker, Barid Hacker, Ragik Hacker, Spec-Ops and the Support box.
I already have decided against buying the Tauregs, amazing as they might be because I dislike the sculpts.
So did I miss anything vital?
>>44261024
Well, Farzans are pretty good, and may act as secondary specialists.
>>44261320
I have to add though, that I have not personal experience with them and this is just based on what I've read.
Speaking of Military Orders, I had two games today with this list. Purely for fun, so no powerlists on the opposing sides, USAriadna and Observance Bakunin.
While De Fersen and the Magister link performed reasonably well and Konstantinos rocked the house (killed Kusanagi, a Healer and a Moira from the linkteam in one game), the Seraph was an utter disappointment.
So I plan on replacing it with some other troops, but I'm not sure with what...
>>44261467
Wow, you're telling me TAGs are shit, what a surprise
Hey, guys, I know it may sounds silly, but...
You remember this wiki, 1d4chan? The one 40kiddies always come to next and then come into 40K threads with their stale memes, but at least usually have a general idea what the units are and how are they supposed to work.
I saw some people willing to write articles about USARF Grunts alone. How about we use the fact that this wiki is free to edit and maybe add unit breakdowns for each faction, with vanilla description first and below a clear "[Sectoral name]: In [Sectoral name] this unit behaves thus (...)", all as nice bullet points. Maybe even tactics.
I noticed a lot of people come to these threads with intention to start playing and ask for basic stuff, like "are bolts worth it, which unit should I use as specialists, do I need a hacker" etc. I think we could use the wiki to answer this.
>>44261320
Been looking at them mostly because of the CoC one with Kasyum.
I guess that the Ghulams are awesome for their points.
I'm planning on running Tarik and an Az'rael AP HMG and some Kamaels, otherwise it's the standard one Fiday and 2 Kum.
List building for 1 big order group and a small one is hard coming from 10 order PanO.
>>44261562
>le TAG a shit maymay
>>out
>>44261769
Not a maymay if theres evidence to back it up
>>44261024
All solid choices. I take a Janissary doc & the Al'Hawwa hacker pretty much every game, vanilla or QK.
Something I'd encourage you to experiment a lot with is combat doctors. It's great to be slaying on one side of the field and healing through Nasmats on the other- Muyibs, Khawarij and Asawira doctors are all highly capable combatants on top of their healing abilities.
Also, if I need an engineer I've never run a Najarun- Kaplan engineers are superb.

>>44261931
I really want the Khawarijis soon!
Feels like I'm hindering myself alot by taking Kasyum as an lt. Not that it's bad but the need for a Farzan because he will blast through the table getting in the thick of the fighting is a huge liability and a 40 pts sink!
Feels like Tarik might be a better aggressive lt.
At least I can count on him to live being 2 wounds and going "The Way of the Gun" with a Jann Doctor!
>>44262042
Trust a Yu Jing
Feel the sting?
>>44262052
Not that I'm going to NOT field both Kasyum and Tarik because they are fuck awesome!
>>44262131
Putting together my first table: Shits hard. I need bigger snow regions, but I am not sure how, maybe laminated card covered in snow?
>>44262313
Needs more terrain/10
>>44262313
It might be easier to use a white felt sheet or something and make the base of the board snow. You've certainly got a lot of nonsnow areas, so it's not like there'll be too much, visually.
What sort of effect were you after? Zones for in game effects, visual appeal, board theme, etc?
>>44262333
I wanted a mountainious craggy outpost.
I also wanted a board that could work with many different games. One that looked nice but also modular. I've considered snowing up the base of the board, but I feel like that would take away from the modular nature.
>>44262326
I have a crashed dropship which you're going to love, but first step getting down a cohesive board.
>>44262355
>>44262333
Actually fuck it. I'm going to desnow the whole thing...
>>44262355
You could make smaller circles of white felt. Glue some rocks or smaller items to it. Maybe cut a hole into it, glue it to some card, and use the hole to glue something frozen-lake like?
>desnowing
At least the core stuff isn't very snowish.
>>44262313
use the building that came with the scenery pack. place them on the ends. move the large rock formation just off the very middle of the table. but yeah, you need more lof blockage
>>44261582
Making full on Tacticas is a bit daunting since there are 8 vanilla factions and 15 Sectorials. As you alluded to, a model's role can vary widely in a Sectorial from in the vanilla.
Add in the Infinity Forums do have legit tacticas, it comes with the question why reinvent the wheel?
>>44264610
>Add in the Infinity Forums do have legit tacticas, it comes with the question why reinvent the wheel?
Forums are a bit difficult to navigate and often have outdated info. Also how many different forums? Last good unit breakdown I saw for PanO was on Dakka Dakka and it was N2.
Wikis are easier to manage and update. Also it's good to have everything in one easy to find place.
I may start this myself regardless if anyone wishes to join me, though my knowledge is a bit limited. But someone has to make the first step...
>>44254080
Elite tyranid is basically 3-5 Flyrants, spores for troops, and multi wound models in all other slots.
Conceptually I don't like the order pooling system, as it seems wierd that you can have 15 people with their thumbs up their ass making your monster move faster.
>>44262313
"Fuck cautious movement: the board"
>>44261991
Tohaa is a soft A at the end, not Tohaaawws
Should be like
Around Tohaas
Watch yourself niggas
>>44264819
You're forgetting the other big game element: the Reactive Turn. Conceptually, those other 15 people are locking down corridors, holding rooms, and watching backs while the specialist hacks the console, or the hero kicks down a door, or the assassin takes out the target. Hell, even in game terms it often works that way.
>>44251597
I'm fairly excited, largely because I've got players who actually want to play it.
I'd recommend taking a look at the quickstart rules. They're not doing a conversion of the tabletop rules at all, it's based on Modiphius' own proprietary system. That said, it's quite good from what I've played and should work out well.
They are apparently releasing rules to convert your RPG character to a unit for the tabletop which sounds like a ton of fun.
>>44251671
That is always a tricky part of converting a wargame to an RPG. I hope they do expand the powerlevels so that mid-tier units like Wildcats get fair representation.
>>44252149
Pretty much. I'm not too concerned about the social mechanics. That's something that doesn't factor into the tabletop at all, but fluff-wise should be a big part of Infinity. So I'm glad there will be good support for it.
I think that's what excites me most about the RPG is getting to experience the cool portions of the Infinity universe that don't fit into the wargame.
Hey guys I'll be in Spain for a few days during February, possibly in Madrid and Barcelona and I wanted to see if I could buy some Infinity starter sets (namely, Nomads starter, Morat Aggression Force starter and Steel Phalanx starter). I'm not from Europe, and I'm aware that Corvus Belli doesn't have special 'Infinity stores' or something. Where could I get these starters?
>>44267024
Out of curiosity where are you from? I can't imagine many comments don't have hobby stores

Argentina. We've had lots of trouble with importations during this time, and we also have a shitty money exchange rate, so Infinity figures are actually pretty fucking expensive for me.
Having them shipped to me overseas is fucking risky, because the minis will probably remain in the customs house for a while, and may disappear 'mysteriously' if any of the custom workers in charge of receiving them like them a bit.
I can get Warhammer, historical, and lots of miniatures with no problems, but Infinity I can only get metal copies of the oldest miniatures here.
Where my Kerail stats at?
