Infinity is a 28mm scale skirmish game by Corvus Belli where eyes glow bright like diamonds. Green, multispectral diamonds.

which faction would be good for a new player? I know that ariadna is good, but I don't have the money to buy 30 models. Am looking for something like 10 models to start with, am ok with buying singles, but I wouldn't want to buy a big box to just get one model.
>>
>>48211720

Honestly, all the factions are fine to start with. Pick the one that aesthetically appeals to you or has gameplay mechanics that sound fun. People say that Combined Army is a rough army to get started with, but that's where I started. If you're dead set on a 10-model force, then PanO, Yu Jing, ALEPH, and CA come to mind as factions that can do that sort of elite list relatively easily.
>>
>>48211807
I do not know much about mechanics and I do not have a way to learn them from someone without an army. I do not care much about looks, but I would like an army that is hard to build as I don't have a drill to pin models.
I don't think aleph is an option right now, because 3 people already started to play them.
What is the difference, in game play, vs Yu jing? and which can be made cheaper. Am assuming the big robots cost a lot more then normal models and require pining.
>>
>>48211720
This website has good ways to grow to 300 vanilla fairly cheaply:

http://www.ctinfinity.com/new-gallery

They haven't done the sectorials yet though.
>>
>>48211875
To make a 10 order list that works, you need survivability and a link (for order efficiency).

I would recommend Onyx, which is great because it comes in a nice starter box for you (12 models, but whatever):

http://www.gamenerdz.com/infinity-combined-army-first-contact-onyx-force-300-point-army-pack
>>
>>48211875

I'll just give you a faction overview to help you with everyone if that's alright (sans Ariadna since you said you're not interested, and tohaa because I don't know much about them).

ALEPH: super elite army. Can easily spend half their points on 2 or 3 models. Extremely tough due to being hard to shoot and hard to put down (ODD/No Wound Incap). Gets plenty of access to rare/powerful equipment.

Combined Army: Another super elite faction like ALEPH. Has access to lots of rare technology, and has plenty of unique alien gear and alien tricks such as plasma, mind control, guided sniper rifles and so on.

PanO: Do you like shooting? PanO likes shooting. Very high tech faction with lots of great mecha and robots. Have plenty of great and unique Heavy Infantry in the form of the Knights, the most mecha options in the game by far, and plenty of good long range options.

Yu Jing: Their specialty is heavy infantry. Typically a YJ army is comprised of lighter infantry and skirmishers supporting a hard nugget of HI who are your main strike force. Has plenty of rare equipment on power armored guys like invisibility, or being a transformer.

Haqqislam: Premire light infantry faction. They're the second lowest tech faction in the game, but they tend to have lots of guys with crazy biological powers like super jumps, regeneration, impersonation (an incredibly rare ability).

Nomads: elite medium infantry and hacking galore. Nomads also excel at bringing lots of cheap equipment to the match - while each unit might not be as impressive as their counterparts, they make up for it with their hacking and all that cheap, cheap gear.

Hopefully those help. Those are just the vanilla factions, each faction also has multiple 'sub factions' in the form of sectorials, who trade out their unit choices for various advantages such as the availability of certain units and being able to get link teams.
>>
>>48212082
My store doesn't have those whole army boxs, or rather had and sold them to vets, what they sell now are most of the blisters, the 4 model boxs. They also don't have most of the special operation boxs, those with dual faction models.
>>
>>48212055
Thanks had a look at the armies there, but almost all of them have more then 10 models and those that have 10 or 11-12 have those big models. But maybe when the site gets updated, other armies will fit me more.
>>
how would this be
3 fusilers one with a heavy machine gun
1 swiss guard with a multi rifle
1 knight of montessa Lt.
its 146/150 pts,

the only problem with this is that it is 5 models and most armies in our legue have 10 or more.
>>
>>48212455
If they are fielding 10 models in 150 points they are using the cheap stuff.
At the other end, 10 models at 300 points pushed against the AVA of the good models, which is why you'll see the unlimited models show up as cheerleaders and many forces with either a big ATG or two teams.
>>
>>48212552
TAG, that is.
>>
>>48212552
Are there any armies that run 10 mans without an ATG?

Right now we have 5 ariadna players, 3 greeks and I think one guy wants to start islam, and his brother plays japan.
>>
>>48212594

Combined Army could do it the easiest outside of ALEPH particularly if you use the EI aspects at 300 points. YJ and PanO would also be reasonably good at it given that they can field 70ish point models.
>>
>>48212674
Could you give an example list. I did check the army builder, but it is very confusing each army has like 30+ units and most have 2-3 versions one can pick.
At first I wanted to take a force of models armed with snipers and HMG, but that seems to be illegal.
>>
>>48212594
Military Orders and I'm pretty sure ISS can do it too.
Instead of one big TAG you use a 5-man elite HI link.
Some people say spamlists run circles around 10-order list, but a Hospitaller + Joan link is nearly impossible to remove without heavy ordnance.
>>
>>48212714

Sure. So before I post the list I cooked up, the basic list building rules of Infinity are thus:

-Your army must have a Lieutenant
-You must not go over the points limit (duh)
-You must not go over the AVA of units (e.g. if it's AVA 1, you can only have 1 of them).
-You get 1 SWC per 50 points. So a standard 300pt game gives you 6.

There are some other restrictions and such but those are the basic rules everyone has to follow. Example 10 order list:

-Anathematic Lt hacker
-Noctifier (missile launcher)
-Med-Tech Obsidon Mecharoid + 2 slave drones
-Suryat (HMG + Tinbot A)
-Q Drone (HMG)
-Shrouded (forward observer)
-Shrouded (forward observer)
-Ikadron
-Ikadron
-R-Drone

Is it really worth it if you just Duo shotguns though?

Like my inclination would be to just take 2 Lunokhods for ~50 points

I get the benefits of the SWAST but I think if you aren't gonna take a bursty weapon on at least one of them, they aren't worth it.

>>
>>48215971

I kinda want it just for the terrain set and the Unknown Ranger not the two factions. However, those are some great minis.
>>
>>48215971
Yeah. I play Haqqislam very often with little to no interest in YJ and I was going to split the box. Well, the ninja sold me and I'm keeping both sides. I'm not sure if I'm starting right away, but I'm definitely looking into collecting. Even got me some of the new ISS stuff
>>
>>48215971
Yes. I own a few models of each, but this will enable me to build 300 fairly easily.
>>
>>48215971
Yup. I've been thinking of starting Haqq ever since Maggie was revealed, and I've delved into vanilla YJ from ISS recently. Probably won't preorder though, I'll wait until I've at least painted some more of my current dudes.

Hello.

Since infinity has a low model count (compared to warhammer and even warmachine) I'm considering building 2 faction and using it as a board game?

Do you think it feasible and reasonably cheap? (~150$ max)

What would you recommend to buy?

Also, does Marksmanship Level 2 mean it has the abilities of Level 1 or ONLY Level 2?
>>
>>48220324
All numbered skills give the benefit of the previous numbers as well. Holoprojector lv2 lets you use both lv1 and lv2 simultaneously for example. It's why lvx exists.

So Marksmanship lv2 ignores the -3 bs mod for cover and adds shock to your ammo but lvx does neither.

Does anyone has any tips on how to start playing infinity in an already established group?
>>
>>48221197

It's not that hard really. Pick the faction you like and get some models. Drop by the established group and tell them you're a new player. Unless your area is populated exclusively by cunts, they'll be happy to have someone new and you can do some 150 or 200 point games before moving into the normal 300 point games. Or just show up and talk to them first, and get some purchasing opinions from them before getting your minis.
>>
>>48221222
Yeah I kind of a did, but here is my problem. No one wants to teach me how to play. Everyone just plays ITS 300pts, I did try to play a few games, but 210pts vs 300 optmised lists ends in a slaughter of the non fun kind. I mean I get they are all very good at the game, and know all the stats and rules, but it kind of a sucks when people tell you to go faster, when you dont. They tell me to roll when I don't know what am rolling for , and when I try to ask about it they tell me to learn the rules better.
As far as buying goes, they buy most of their stuff online and the store has a mix of old models and stuff no one wanted to buy. I did ask if they could order models I want, and they said ok, as long as I order 300$.
>>
Ah it is not like they are bad people, I know they won a lot of tournaments playing WM and w40k, and even went to big events in other countries. So they aren't bad. I just want to know if there is a good way to learn the game alone, and start a low number model army without all the new models, as most armies have run anything between 20-30+ models.
>>
>>48221314

Well I meant what to order as like a shopping list. Gamenerdz is a good site to get your stuff from since they're about as cheap as it gets. But those guys sound like jerks since they're making it pretty hard to get into it. Infinity is hard and takes a long time to learn so they shouldn't be that rough on you.

How to learn alone? That's tough if you don't have anyone to explain the rules to you. My suggestion would be to look up the Operation: Ice Storm (and soon Red Veil) missions and just play them solo. They're designed for newbies and so they slowly ramp up and introduce new rules and stuff. It'll at least teach you the basics before you have to start dealing with the more complex stuff. After that, familiarize yourself with the rules for command tokens, smoke, and hacking I suppose. Some of the more common special gear/rules you'll encounter. Hacking is much simplified over what it once was though at least.

And that's a REALLY high number of models for an army. Most lists clock in between 10-15 models so you can definitely start a low model army. Some factions do it easier than others but pretty much all of them can run a 10 order list of one sort or another if you want to be absolutely bare bones. But that can be a bit tricky to learn with.
>>
>>48221348
>they won a lot of tournaments playing WM and w40k
That doesn't mean they're not bad people. If anything that means they're probably bad people.

Watching Batreps on youtube could help you out, but I'd look for another group if possible. 20-30 models in an army makes for a painfully slow and boring game. 10-15 is standard at 300 points. Those guys sound like complete cunts.
>>
>>48221314
>>48221348
They sound like cunts. I am so sorry. Any normal person would run you through a few games. I love running beginners through games. I've probably run through icestorm 20 times.
>>
>>48221314

Wait are you saying you ask someone to teach you a game and they played with more points than you because you didn't have enough models and then complained when you took longer than normal.

Holy shit what a bunch of assholes.
>>
>>48221314

Ugh, those kind of dicks. Isn't there a warcor around? If they play in tournaments, there should be a warcor around and those guys are supposed to teach new guys how to play.
200 vs 300 shouldn't be happening, ever. In every game you agree to a point limit and stick to it. Everyone should start at 200pts no Spec-Op and the more experienced player should recognize that and help the other guy along.
>>
Is it at all a good idea to put an AD unit on its own in a combat group, walk it on then use a command token to shift it over to group 1 later?
>>
>>48222663
It's pretty common practice, yeah.
>>
>>48222702
It does work then, good.

Next tactical question - should I go for a Combi Rifle or BSG Garuda?
>>
>>48222746
Both are good. Depends how much terrain you guys have. BS Garuda is murder at close range, but Combi is more versatile.
>>
>>48222746
That depends on what you want to do with it. The BSG can effectively flank and kill an important unit or several cheerleaders in one fell swoop, while the combi can lay down suppressive fire in an inconvenient location and make the enemy waste orders removing or avoiding it.

My FLGS tables tend to have very open backfield areas with lots of dense cover in the middle - it makes Van Zant a right cunt.

Combi is probably the best bet. The chance to wipe the smile off the faces of people who leave medics and engineers at the backfield with buddy bots humping the leg of a TAG or HI will be glorious.

From the Haqqislam facebook group.

Certainly a lot of stuff for such a big guy.
>>
>>48222984
I think it's a given he'll be in the MO starter, but I'd hope it'd be the sniper one, to follow a trend; it seems about half the starters now have a sniper model in them.
I also hope that they replace the Teuton with a Father-Knight (maybe ML) or a combi+DEP Holy Sepulchre; one is non-order and the other you're likely to want just one of, regardless of your main order. I think they messed up a bit by making it Teutonic, especially when Hospitallers are supposedly the largest order.
Or preferably they just rework the Teutons into something playable. Like give them Core: Special with Magisters and/or Order Sergeants if you're going to restrict their ability to link with each other. Being a fairly cheap BS14 HI just doesn't cut when compared to their competition.

53 from what the chatter on the fb page is.
>>
>>48223467
The MO starter might contain a Magister or it might contain a Friar, it could go either way. They've got to fit an infiltrator/drop troop and a heavy hitter in there as well, so I doubt it will have both.

I still have no idea what the fuck happened with Teutons. Especially since it's possible they'll be part of the next PanO sectorial.
>>
>>48222885
Please not the Black Friar... Ugh. I don't want to buy a fucking model that I don't like the concept of just so I can use the profile...
>>
>>48223480
This is the Caliphate. I would have been surprised if he hadn't received that BTS bump/
>>
>>48223615
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure which role does the Magister fit myself. Usually a starter has 3 regular blokes, a heavy hitter, a skirmisher and a support guy. And frankly both support and skirmisher roles would be fulfilled by the Spec Sergeant. I suppose giving him a sniper would make him the Support, which would make him the one to be replaced by a Black Friar. Magister would share the spot with a non-sniper TO Spec Sergeant or a Crusader.
>>
>>48223840
Magister is support. That's the most broad role, skirmishers need to have some sort of special deployment and it's too cheap and shitty to be the hitter.
>>
>>48222924
I believe this is correct.

The tac bow is only there to lower the price of the ninja. Using a combi on a ninja is a losing strategy, for starters. Remember, the only other KHD in the army is the Kanren, for the same number of points, and seeing as it's AVA1, you might want to use it for other duties (like being a sniffer buddy or FO). Now, 29 points is still a fairly hefty price tag, but TO + infiltration + DA CCW does allow it to tie down rambos if you can get proper deployment.

Lots of HI are BTS 6 nowadays. Though 4-2 move is interesting though, and given a ~53 point-ish breakpoint, makes it more similar to a Yan Huo than other HI.

Comparatively, it's +1PH, +1WIP, +3 BTS compared to a Yan Huo, has sixth sense, vet, and minelayer, and better secondary utility in smoke/AP mines and a heavy pistol for the same price. Conversely, it doesn't have HRMC or dual ML (+neurocinetics) which makes it less effective against hard targets or links.

I'd say it's functionally closer to a Taskmaster, despite the difference in speed. Yan Huo are pure weapons platforms, much like Azra'il. Al Fasid are board control units, hence the mines and smoke grenades.

>>48225302
The idea is to make a situation for the melee crap yourself. It's not that hard to do with a TO infiltrator, and the results can be downright nasty against non-CC troops. Never underestimate a hidden deployed ninja near a chokepoint.
>>
>>48222595
well they only play 300 ITC games, either they play them at tournaments or they test stuff for tournaments. That is more or less any game is played here. They don't play smaller armies, I doubt they even have under 300pts armies bought.

>>
>>48225649
There are no other people playing infinity in a different way, all 3 stores have people with same sized armies. The difference is that one store only runs tournament games, one has people who do not play people outside their store, and the third store where they play anyone, beause they have fewer people.

It is not just infinity, WM/H, and w40k are played the same way here.
>>

>>48226006
We don't realy have such a thing as casual players. Table top games cost too much for people to buy bad stuff, so most people buy only the best armies with best units, and make everything legal to win. So no helping people outside of their team. My problem is that out of 4 friends I played with 3 left for summer,and out of those 2 are not comming back, because they went to work in germany.

Did anyone try already to cast some infinity minatures. Since CB took all the line infatry blisters out of the catalogue, and since you actually have to buy multiple starter boxes to max out order monkeys, I was thinking about giving it a try for my next army.

Actually I thought about going Caledonia and casting the old caledonian volunteers with chain rifles, as well as some 45th highlanders with chain rifles, and maybe also the Christopher Lambert guy. What do you think ?
>>
>>48227596
Oy vey, is good idea!
>>
>>48225302
It's relative. You're running YJ, not Tohaa or Pan-O; your TO comes in two varieties: ~70 points for your Hac Tao, or 30-50 points for your ninjas. While the former can shoot and bunker down and possibly do hacking, the latter really can't.

After the KHD tac-bow, The next cheapest TO specialist in your entire army is at 40 points (and shock CCW is significantly worse than DA anyway). 11 points is a lot especially if you're wasting them on zhanshi. Besides, ninjas are, by definition, situationally effective. They have BS11 and ARM 1, BTS 0. They're not going to be winning firefights.
>>
>>48226115
>>48225552
>best armies with best units
>20 order armies here

These things are (usually) mutually exclusive. While having two few orders is a death sentence, there's significant loss of efficiency once you get above 16 for most armies, and above 20 even for spammy ones.

Depending on how dense your terrain is, strong ARO setups (or even powerful Rambo ones) will shred into very high order pool lists.
>>
>>48227887
Just stop trying to take our TO units and take our amazing camo units instead. Guilangs are amazing.
>>
>>48228028
Well, yes, you're going to be running at least one Guilang in almost every list, probably with his best buddy Daofei, but if your heart is set on taking a TO unit in YJ, a ninja KHD's not that terrible a choice. Now, obviously, your game plan's going to be pretty different, but at 29 points it's certainly feasible to throw it into a 300 point list and still have Guilang, 1 or 2 HI, your standard assortment of CG + kuang shi and specialists, and still have 12+ orders.
>>
hum... had my funny day, thought about something like this. would be 40 orders, and wallace would make all of them regulars and they all have a more than decent close combat attribute, and all have smoke. Would be a dedicated close combat army.

While Ariadna can hit 20 orders without too much trouble, they do still need to sacrifice effectiveness. And a 20 order SP list would be toothless.

shure ;-) it's more a joke than a list. but with the extremely impetuous thing it's nearly 80 orders in the first turn ;-) besides: Wallcae grants you furthermore an coordinated order almost for free every turn (You may declare a Coordinated Order that includes the user by spending the Special Lieutenant Order only, without further expenditures of Command Tokens or extra Orders. )
>>
>>48229604
I don't know, most ariadna have over 20 orders here, and they seem to run events just fine, form what I heard, and am assuming the guys would not lie about armies they actualy own and do not want to sell. Now if they had 20+man armies and wanted to sell, I would be suspicious, but to be honest this is not the first time I am told that we play table tops in a different way.

I'll try to get enough models to play a 10 order army, I like how some of the models look, but no factions has enought o play with 10 models. Or it is 10 models I know would suck, if they made an army.

You'll figure it out eventually, hopefully you can still have fun with that local group. As for 10 order armies those are a little tight but absolutely doable. PanO, Yu Jin, Combined Army, and ALEPH can all make that sort of list relatively easily. 10 orders is a perfectly valid way to play. They can be pretty fun because it usually means you get to take a bunch of your best units in one list.

A few tips you may or may not want to consider.
That orange on the bases looks really horrifying. Make'em black and try different colors for the actual basing, plain black doesn't look pretty nice either.
You're using way too much black wash. Try to use less and distribute evenly.
Don't use pure whites but mix it with a little bit of grey first and only drybrush the highlights with whites.
I can tell that you're stroking the brush in multiple different directions while painting an area. Try to stroke only in one direction.
Ah, and thin your paints.
Good luck and keep up the work. Have some Robutt because I feel like it.
Infinity really needs more nice asses on their tanks.
>>
>>48230747
I meant TAG's. Tank butts would be pretty weird, eh.
>>
>>48229445
>"Funny"
>The list that's been posted approximately 70 times before
>>
>>48230747
>Ah, and thin your paints.
I always get this for some reason. Believe it or not the paints are super-watery when I paint. To the point where I have a hard time controlling it a lot of the time. The paint is not thick, it's not well distributed, it spills over, making it look like I used too much. That's what I get for not using an airbrush.

As for black wash: it's the highly contrasting light in the photo, the washes are mostly blue. I've only used black wash on the blue parts; some of the Wildcats have black wash on their pants, but I was trying to be considerate with it and I switched to blue since. I do overuse washes though and I still have a hard time of getting the white right. I do use grey and just glaze with white over it and yet I can never get it right.

I should also get some ultra thin brushes, the ones I used are too worn down and I can't get nice thin lines in those crevices with the ones I have. But I have no idea where to get one.

As for the orange on the bases: I know it's awful, but I've chosen function over aesthetic here; bright orange is easy to see on most tables, so you always know the miniature's facing. Same reason why on the PanO ones it's light gray with blue.
>>
>>48225485
Melee should be limited and deadly when it happens.

CB does a great job achieving those goals.
>>
>>48230896
I said that as a joke, desu. But you shouldn't thin your paints that much either. I use acrylic paint thinner and mix it in ~1:0.8 ratio with the actual paint depending on the consistency of the colour (yes, different colours may have different consistencies).

>That's what I get for not using an airbrush
May the Brushgod have mercy on your soul.

>yet I can never get it right
Practice makes the Craftsmen.

>the ones I use are too worn down
Aye that's a problem. As soon as the point of the brush (dunno what it's called) starts to split you should get a new one. Look after your brushes and try to keep them intact if you don't want to run to the store every two weeks. Guides on how to should be plenty around on the web.
As for the size, 0 is absolutely perfect for the most work you'll be doing on your mini. You can get them at any tinker shop or you know, just try the internet.

Well, the orange bases. Guess I can't change your mind on that. Every man's his own.

Giving her KHD makes her more versatile.

My advice is don't take much concern on her burst really,
it make your luck drop.
>>
>>48225552
20+ order armies are not competitive unless you are way over-saturating terrain, especially in deployment zones. There should not be room to hid 10+ models in a DZ without deadly amounts of bunching.

Follow the rulebooks guide to terrain for a few games and everyone will realize that 10-15 orders is optimum.

Paint in multiple layers then. It's OK to thin your paint so much that it takes 2-3 layers to get good color coverage, OTOH it'll give you a smoother coat.

Also, buy some glaze medium. A bit added to paint makes it behave better (not flow everywhere like a wash) and if you add more you get a nice blur/semitransparent effect which is awesome for smooth highlighting.

I cheat by adding lots to a wash and using a hairryer to avoid getting the "rings" effect. Ifyou do it right you can shade white armor with a black wash.

>>48234344

They can have a maximum of 5 people, actually. Sectorials sometimes have specific rules and limits and combinations, though, and Steel Phalanx often uses their Eurawhatsits rule, which permits slightly different use of them.

The core idea behind fire teams, is that it's a group of figures, that are all activated with a single order. One of them is the spearhead, which actually does the order, and the rest, while they activate with it, are just there to provide bonuses to the spearhead figure.
3 figures will give the spearhead an extra B. 4 figures will give the spearhead SSL2 and +3 Willpower for discover checks. 5 figures will give the spearhead +3 BS. In the reactive turn, those bonuses apply to all members of the link team. They all have to perform the same action/reaction, however, or the link team breaks.

Normally you can only have a single link team, but special rules like Haris and Euragreekcheese Fireteam: Asparagus Heads allows for extra link teams.

As you can probably guess, having a bunch of figures reacting with 2 shots, sixth sense level 2, and +3 BS can be a powerful defensive obstacle, and those bonuses can be used to great effect on the active turn to overcome difficult targets. Link team bonuses can make weak figures like LI powerful fighters without much of a points investment. The downside is that they have to be close to each other, and thus a single template might horribly damage the team, and killing the spearhead figure breaks the team. Plus, taking 5 of a crappy figure was probably not on the cards UNLESS you had the link team to rely on.

Okay, so. If I give one member of the team the move-and-fire order, do all of them move AND all of them fire, or does the spearhead do the firing and everyone else just sit there? Also, if I have a spearhead built around the character in the ASS starter and have the Myrm hacker in a link (assuming 2-3 other Myrms) can she hack if she's not the spearhead, or do I lose that functionality because not everyone can hack?

They all move, but in the active turn only the link leader gets to push buttons/shoot whatever. But you can elect a new leader each time they activate. So they all get AROs, but only the leader gets non-movement skills in active.
>>
>>48234541
So...What I'm hearing here is a squad of dedicated cheerleaders for one guy, giving not only additional orders but additional bonuses above that. The link team leader being chosen every time they activate is a pretty big deal, though - on the reactive turn, is it just 'whoever was Leader last'? Are there any limits for who can be leader?

Also, how does the greek specific one work differently, other than apparently allowing another link team?

>If I give one member of the team the move-and-fire order, do all of them move AND all of them fire, or does the spearhead do the firing and everyone else just sit there?

In active turn? Yeah only spearhead (i assume what you mean its a link leader)
that can shoot.

>Also, if I have a spearhead built around the character in the ASS starter and have the Myrm hacker in a link (assuming 2-3 other Myrms) can she hack if she's not the spearhead, or do I lose that functionality because not everyone can hack?

If she not the spearhead then no. Only the leader can do some action in active turn.

>>48234422

The whole point of those wageslave HI is to shoot stuff dead, which they even do at cheapass prices. Plus that whole not sphass-Templar list et al.
>>
>>48234506
In that case, the spearhead would move + fire, and everyone else would move + support, to give the fireteam bonuses.
The hacker can hack, but the rest of the team couldn't support her, as they can't hack, so the order for them effectively fizzles in the hacking part, if I understand this right.

how is this for a shasvastii list?
>>
>>48234583

Yes whoever was leader last is your leader in the reactive turn but other than losing the link it's not as big a deal since they all get their super AROs.

You can read about enomotarchos here: http://wiki.infinitythegame.com/en/Fireteam:_Enomotarchos

big differences: unlike fireteam: core/haris, you can have more than one enomotarchos link in your army. And also unlike Core, Enomotarchos caps out at 4 figures rather than 5

>>48234642
That being where I thought four came from. Excellent. Thank you very much. I'm disappointed I can't score the +3 BS, but I'm sure once I look up what Sixth Sense does I'll be willing to take four. Four doesn't seem so big a deal to me right now, though, because I get MSV 3, which apparently just sees things, fuck you?
>>
>>48234344
I would get the new Human Sphere book anon. Both explains fire teams and has all the ALEPH stuff in it.

After I've paid off my Guild Ball guild and gotten the Myrm box, it's on the list.

>'only' 5 pts

That's 5 FO upgrades there. Or 1 FO/1 KHD. Et al.

And excepting bots and the rare few units, it's way more then 5 pts.
>>
Ah good ole whine jing
How I've missed you so
>>
>>48234701

You don't have access to the Asura (and her MSV3) in an ASS list just so you know.
>>
>>48234754
Ah, I had, indeed, missed that. Thank god. I was not comfortable putting Nipples McGee on the table, no matter how good she was at kicking ass.
>>
>>48234701
SSL2 effectively removes a lot of the bullshit that comes from LOS and token shenanigans. Surprise shots, smoke, attacking from behind, etc. MSV3 is pretty amazing, though, although it's very rare, and is analogous in it's effects. Of course it tends to come at a premium, or at least on premium figures.

>>48234734
Assuming you didn't already buy them, or you even had the figures with the option. It's a very whiteroomy problem at worst. And considering the points value mechanisms and the sophistication of an entire army, to say nothing of comparing figures across armies, the points value boils down to irrelevant compared to list construction skill and player skill.

>>48234765
Considering the way she's sculpted, filing off the bumps isn't hard.

>>48234845
I know, I know. I just don't feel comfortable filing the nipples off anyone, miniature or no.

What would you all suggest buying for Haqqislam after the Red Veil box?

>>48234893
Hawwa Hacker
Hunzakut
The Remote Box
Lasiq Sniper
Ragik
Djanbazan
Muttawiah
Naffatun

No particular order.
>>
>>48234893
Naffatun, any of the Hassasins, Djans, or Remotes would be excellent long term purchases.
>>48234891
I suppose clipping probably runs into the same issue.
>>
>>48234893

Those burner boys (and girls) look good for cheap-ish flamethrowers. Saladin AND at least a Fiday if you want to be Super Evil. The bigass TAG is actually pretty reasonable for the pt cost (dunno about $ cost though).

>>48234891

I agree. The very idea of miniature mutiliation is horrid.
>>
>>48230701
Thanks. I have had good luck with that. Never taken down an Aquila with it myself, but my Ninja has engaged and shanked plenty of button pushers and spitfires. Even maimed a Maghariba with her once.

Mind you, I'll happily admit that Ninjas are the worst TO infiltrators in the game. They play a different and less versatile role from other TO dudes, but that doesn't mean they're useless.
>>
>>48234929
>>48234978

Keep in mind though the remote box (the chickenleg ones) and the djanbazan are pretty old and are likely to be redone 'eventually. Djan sniper is still cool though I guess, even if not quite as useful as the HMG.

Are the Azra'il any good? I really love their model.
>>
>>48235121

Feel free to get them if you want (HMG version looks great), although they seem to have a similar role to the Red Veil Big Dude.
>>
>>48235121
Yeah, they're budget weapon platforms. Feuerbach is good in ARO and AP HMG is good on the active turn or in supp fire. They're big and slow though, so keep that in mind.
>>
>>48234422

Janni can do the rape train as well. At even cheaper prices if you want to use Hafza filler.

And Haqq HI ain't all that bad either. What with regen monsters, holo BS, and even 2 fatties options to choose from now.

Ah, by role do you mean the "Rambo" of the army?(Heard that term thrown around a lot)
>>
>>48209646
funny thing about infinity.
Most of the models with character are limited edition. I can't even tell apart most regular units.
Kind of a shame really.
>>
>>48235247
Eh, Hafza come with their own problems. The big appeal of Wu Ming is their sheer versatility. The only profile that doesn't bring at least 2 useful things to the table is the HMG, and it's an HMG so it doesn't need anything else.
>>
>>48235320

I think they were talking about the Ayyar and their holo 2 specialist troop shenanigans. Though I do wish they had more profiles they're cool but kind of limited.
>>
>>48235311

They are usually better off attacking yeah. And the more aggressive they are used, the more orders they need (thus getting cheap-ish burner boyz can help). Sometimes the whole order pool can be burnt on them to go on a rampage (until they get ARO killed) hence the term 'Rambo'.
>>
>>48235356
I was responding to the Jann rape train and the use of Hafza in that.
