How do I paint Desert Storm style camo.

>>46342857
I'm sure scale modellers elsewhere on the internet have tried successfully.

>>46342857

For Beginning Painters: (skip these steps if you are a painter of advanced level)

>>46343397

Remove Monofilament CCW, replace with AP/DA/Shock/generic CCW. Point reduction from Mono-CCW removal makes Pheasant an option.

>>46343428

Okay, a serious answer, then.

Looks simple enough. Paint the lightest tan over the sections you want painted, and paint sections darker tans over some portions of that, followed by darker tans and browns over that until you've got the basic pattern. For the spots, dab some tiny black spots, wait for them to dry, then dab smaller white spots over them, or vice-versa.

Having tried variations of urban camo, I can say camo is actually a pretty easy pattern to paint, just paint each color in steps from either the lightest color to the darkest, or from whichever layers seem to dominate the largest space to the patterns that take up the smallest.

>>46343476
Honestly the only update I want is for bolts. I converted to fusis very quickly but come on I'd rather use them as something other than a locust proxy.

>>46343397
>fix pheasant
Replace it with the Kan Ren. But seriously Bao too. and Ninja AHB also need a fix or just replaced by the rumored KHD option. We'll have to see the HSN3 update first.

>>46343504
Or if they keep the Mono CCW, at least give it relevant skills to utilize it.

>>46343641

>Or if they keep the Mono CCW, at least give it relevant skills to utilize it

Wouldn't that just upgrade them to another Agent Rank's existence niche? They'd also get more expensive as a result. As it is, if the Mono CCW is simply removed then you have a cheap Agent for ISS.

>>46343527
Bolts are an N3 unit. They wont be getting an update. They may get other options, but no major change

PanO players, how do you achieve the blue/grey of PanO armor? Do you blend it yourself, layer it, or do you have an individual paint for the job?

>>46343641
Bao aren't so different from, say, a Grenzer or the like. It's just that low burst weapons + ARM 1 is way too squishy for a MSV2 option to be competitive with the Hsien or Rui Shi. I suppose it's appropriate for YJ to not have access to the same depth of ARO tools that Pan-O or Nomads brings (much less Tohaa), but I can see things like the new Su Jian profile and the Shikami as being thematically appropriate options instead.

>>46343682
Yeah, then the Pheasant would be stepping into the Crane's territory (unless the Pheasant is made much more melee focused, maybe give it 6-4 or forward deployment or something like a HI version of a Kanren)

>>46343682
No I get it and it doesnt need it. I'm just saying that if it sticks then make it work. For example the Kanren has a relevent MA level, forward deployment, Holo2, etc etc, and still remains pretty cheap.

But I agree with you. Trash the Mono Sword for DA or AP. I think Biometric Visor would be pretty cool...or Free Agent

>>46343641
>Or if they keep the Mono CCW, at least give it relevant skills to utilize it.
Nah, it's unlikely they'd be able to outdo the Kanren. The Pheasant is squishy, has CoC and comes with an X-Visor on short range weapons, so it's not something you'd want to send out into the thick of the fight anyway.

Bao need a spitfire or HMG more than anything else, though some defensive abilities would be very welcome too. As it stands, they're an okay unit. Not great, but not complete piss like the Pheasant.

Any bets on what's next to be revealed in BoW in about 4 hours?

>>46343782
I like my armor quite a bit darker, so I use Citadel dark reaper and I'm very happy with the results.

>>46343786

BioM visor seems a bit situational unless impersonation/holos become a lot more common. Free Agent as well, since I can't him being actively used that often.

>>46343862

>any B4 weapon

This. Perhaps a HMG if they don't want it get too similar to what the Rui Shi has, and X-Visor would hopefully be there as well.

Still, would rather have the CG get FO or some cheap specialist thing first.

>>46343868

Dick-pics. Gotta be. Has to be dick-pics.

>>46343862
Bao are okay. The Xvisoe on the LSG is pretty decent. Theyre only just too squishy. What if the Pheasant gets a Spitfire becomes the Fireteam cornerstone? Maybe Haris?

>>46343940
I think Free Agent would be a perfect fit. I wouldn't make it the main point of the unit, but it fits the fluff and he could be transferred to a different combat group to replace dead Kuang Shi.

>>46343868
Bostria's willy

>>46343981
Still wouldn't take it unless they get Haris, simply because Wu Ming are so much more reliable.

So what about Securitate? Pheasant can lose the Mono-CCW and get Free Agent to be an appealing model, but how would you make Securitate an actual choice?

>>46343868
Teaser on some of new rules and equipment like KHD, EVO, etc etc, then a Batrep with Killian, and then a cock fight.

>>46344051
Hard to say. It won't get its update till Acheron Falls, so there might be completely new rules for it.

>>46343868
Some snippets on the new Tohaa fluff?

>>46343981
The x-visor is great on shotguns. People never expect to have their infiltrators cut apart by a DAM14 template from 24 inches away.

Bao fireteams will never be a good idea, though. Even if they got HMGs and could link without a Pheasant I wouldn't take them. Having a bunch of squishy expensive faggots bunched up is basically begging the enemy to throw templates at them.

>>46344051
Give them a defined role. Their repeater says to send them up the board to extend the reach of Interventors, but their weapons options and SS2 says to keep them back as defensive units. I'd split them into 2 units, with one being a long-range ARO turret with SS2 and some other defensive skill, and the other being glorified walking repeater with forward or maybe mechanized deployment.

>>46344201

Wonder how much of that is copypasta?

Also, something something cockfighting.

>>46344051
Forgot it even exists. Probably wont see much of an update until Tunguska Sectorial.

>>46343940
Impersonation will be more common with the KHD...but so far we dont know if Biometric Visors will help against L1 Impersonation. And Holoprojector is getting 3 levels so maybe the new changes will be enough to even consider BMVs

>>46344190

Well, he're my wishlist for it:

>Loses Repeater as standard equipment, Sixth Sense L2
>Becomes AVA Total Cheerleader, Sectorial Link fodder
>11-13 points, Alguacil+ stats
>Gains genero-mook profile options (some SWC guns, cheap specialists, etc...)
>Repeater or FastPanda as profile option

Then there's that "Hollow Man" whispered only in name last round of rumors. Something like a TO model with an Autocannon, or potentially a Holoprojector. Those are old rumors, nothing ever confirmed about them, but compelling.

>>46344380

Wonder if KHD users can start out as impersonators from the start?

>>46344585

KHD gives the Hacker the program that gives the Impersonation?

Probably can't start as Impersonators, though. HD+ doesn't let you deploy as one.

>>46344585
If HD+ can't, then I highly doubt KHD can. That would be like deploying in with AssFire or E.Reaction

>>46344655
At some seminar last year Bostria said KHD will get Cybermask

378KB, 1024x1446px

>>46344684

Well, Cybermask doesn't let you deploy as an Impersonation token. Hacking Devices aren't deployment toys, those pay their costs upfront like Infiltration, AD, TO, MD, and, well, Impersonation. Deployment options are one-use options that give you the full cost (and risk) up front either at the start of the game or when you call them in.

Hacking Devices don't pop their bang all at once for a flat price, you have to put an Order into the HD to get an effect out. As such, you don't start on the field with a freebie, as you didn't give it a raw Order to convert into a program.

>>46344655
>>46344659

Still, who knows what the new rules will be like, although to be fair, units like the Kan Ren probably won't be needing the Impersonation that badly from the start.

Always wanted to make a little force for this game ever since I saw this guy in a forum.

I'd love to make some sort of outpost garrison focusing on the average joe's militia and maybe a couple of more elite scout types, like a small town out in the middle of nowhere fighting with whatever they've got, with maybe a couple scouts or something who were in the area keeping an eye on things.

Can't really find a lot of background on how Ariadna works though, do the various nationalities tend to mix a lot? For example, could you expect to see the spetznaz guys helping out the Americans or do they tend to stay separate? Some of the Ruskie scouts look amazing but if it's weird to run the Ruskies and the Americans together then I'll figure something else out.

Really don't want to use any of the really weird furry guys or the crazy power armored types, lord knows I've got enough heavily armored power armor guys from other games. Wanted to stick with a more ragtag force here.

So TL;DR
>Do the Ariadna 'nationalities" mix, or keep to themselves?
>is there a good place to read background on these guys?
>Would a mainly militia and scout type of force even have a chance in game? Maybe a couple guys with rocket launchers or something max. No power armor guys or anything super crazy, basically nothing you wouldn't expect a small outpost or something to have.
>What are some cool models/units I should look at for this aside from the search and rescue guy? Really like the Russian and American models I've seen, don't care for the scots and french as much, but if it's a cool model I'd be interested.

>>46345951

Sounds like pretty much like how the USAriadna works (maybe Cossacks as well?), so you could just start out with them I guess?

So, noob question, but am I missing something or is the Anaconda really shit?
I mean, I love the mini, but poor movement and mobility, low durability, meh accuracy, huge guts, a lack of special rules and a very mediocre armament in the form of a spitfire and a *light* flamethrower all seem to make the thing a pretty poor choice.

>>46346183
The pilot pops out with her Spitfire when the Anaconda goes down (assuming it doesn't suffer another wound), and I believe she still generates orders while running around with that big gun.

Also, the thing is only 61 points. YJ and PanO have heavy infantry more expensive than that.

>>46346183
Yes it's shit. New profile in HSN3 maybe?

>>46346183
It's a MERC TAG. Unlike the TAGs of PanO and Yu Jing, it is outdated equipment that still works well enough to field. I would argue that it functions more like a really big HI rather than a TAG, sorta like the Gecko (fitting, given they're from the same design series). Considering that the forces that can field Anacondas tend to be strapped for 'heavy' options (i.e. Merovingians), it works within the given circumstances.

>>46341530
So, I've been meaning to ask a fluff question for some time now, cause it's a little fuzzy to me: how do PanO TAGs function exactly (other than the obvious answer - Yu Chink tears)? They are remotes, but how do their operators differ from those of the Sierra Dronbots (who, in my twisted head canon are most likely loud,12 year old Call of Duty players in a trigger frenzy from copious amounts of energy drinks) for example?

Do TAGs have advanced AI that helps the operator? Is it something like Evangelion or the Princeps from 40k kind of deal?

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to slam a cute android waifu on the base of my newly painted Cutter as the avatar of the AI that helps the operator out.

>>46346348
Unlike Dronbots, which are controlled by an AI system, PanO TAGs are operated in a similar fashion to drones IRL. Because the chest cavity isn't occupied by a curvy waifu in a skintight suit, PanO engineers can fill it with communications systems and other hardware to maintain solid contact with the TAG during combat. This means that while the TAG is operated remotely, it is controlled by a human pilot at all times while deployed.

>>46346426
Still slamming a waifu on the base. The question is which is the most suitable model? The Aleph girls are not very cute.

I was thinking of getting Operation Icestorm but with the new book coming out should I wait for something else or is still worth picking up?

>>46346664
HS:N3 is an expansion and doesn't invalidate the O:I. You want it mostly for the models anyway, even if the booklet is a decent way to learn the rules and it has some papercraft terrain to get you started.

Assume I am a total fucking idiot, and humour me.

I have a heavy infantry behind a wall, who cannot be seen. My opponent has a hacker 9" away on the other side of the wall.

He activates the hacker and moves 1", then uses his hacking device to immobilise me.

What ARO does my HI get? Is it only Turn to Face (because he has to react to the first short skill of Move) or is it Reset to oppose the hack?

I was told the hack was unopposed, because I had to react to the first short skill and couldn't "hold" my ARO until the second.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Xeodron. It seems kinda pointless overall. Haris is cool and all, but beyond that and the K1 it has precious little tricks up its sleeve, considering the price.
The Unidron link, on the other hand, is awesome. Plasma sniper and tinbot makes them fairly nasty for a cheap fireteam.

Bipandra from Dire Foes, maybe ? Cute, fusilier uniform, no big weapon.
Otherwise, a civilian like the executives should do the trick.

And, yeah, I don't think TAGS have IAs. There is some programs to manage comms and filter data, though, so you may have a very advanced version of Clippy.

>>46348110
Remember that super jump means they can just walk straight over any terrain smaller than them, and that's pretty significant for an S6 unit. They just seem like more mobile Geckos. Good enough to beat the enemy over the head with, but not as expensive as a real TAG. MULTI rifle option seems a bit shit even by Gecko standards, though.

>>46348264

If you're comparing it to Gecko's combi option, then you're effectively getting better ammo and ARO fire at the cost of a single burst. And superjump. And a lower SWC.

Those SWC costs though. Goddamn. A Mk12 isn't worth 1.5 SWC.

>>46348264
Any unit can walk over terrain smaller then their silhouette without using climb or jump. super jump lets you jump as a short skill

Aspects are independant programs, but I guess Aleph/EI can download itself into them to a greater degree, so to speak. Technically speaking even the myrmidon types are aspects, it's just they're very intentionally mostly independent and live in pseudo-meat in a more permanent fashion. I'm pretty certain even stuff like Asura and Deva are/could be quote unquote remote piloted, it's just that the server hardware exists inside the chassis for convenience sake.

I was gonna say it's getting pretty weeb, but the the games marketed with a Manga aesthetic, so I guess I'll just stfu.

When you start thinking about it as a super jumping Sogarat with two levels of Unconscious and immunity to biotech, it makes a lot more sense - but they can also form a link with the good Samaritan. They're incredibly fat bodyguards for their Pillarmen overlord, safely bringing him to the feeding grounds while packing decent firepower.

>>46348511
I'd compare the red fury and K1 Xeodron to Sogarats, but a MULTI rifle is just a waste of something that price. If you're planning to murder mooks with it, take a red fury. If you want to fuck up heavier stuff, K1 rifles are good. The MULTI rifle just seems like a compromise of both that doesn't do either particularly well.

>>46348607
In the BoW video, Carlos mentioned that Samaritan can link with Xeodrones.

We are also operating under the assumption of the old Haris and old rules in general. Currently, the ALEPH sectorial version of the rule already allows a mix of units, and Carlos mentioned that the regular link teams will be mixed as well. Just look at the new Protheion as an indication how already known rules shift into something entirely new.

>>46348513
Most baggage bots have EVO repeaters as one of the possible weapon options. Tohaa and Ariadna don't have EVO repeater at all due to their unsusal baggage "bots". CA has a bot with EVO repater without baggage and separate, smaller bot with baggages.

>>46348575

I'm inclined to agree, on the whole. Something at that cost needs something impressive. Although either way, it compares decently to Geckos. The SWC discount particularly is the issue with the Nomad TAG. I'd really like them if they weren't costed as if they had a HMG or Spitfire.

The most recent FAQ said no stacking of EVO and assisted jump.

The reason why the EVO hacker has it is that it got the program because it has Gadget level 3 and got it by default. It's a useless freebie.

What's the least amount of orders you can legally field in your army? For Example, I play JSA so I can do at least 7 orders by having two O-Yoroi, a Keisotsu, 2 Oniwaban, and Kitsune.

For Generic Yu Jing I can do at least four with 2 Guijia, O-Yoroi, and a Daofei Lt.

>>46349757
Rules don't say you have to be even close to points limit, so one + lt order.

>>46349757
3 TAGs in pano. Pick your poison.

>>46349757
>>46349886
Ok, I meant, 300 legal points.

>>46349757
Combined Army. A minimum of 3 units is required to reach 300 points. Various unit compositions achieve this.

2 Guijia, an O-Yoroi and a MULTI rifle Daofei appear to reach 310 points. Is this human mathematical ability at work?

>>46350004
No. It's the Yu Jing Close Combat Tax!

>>46350288
All of the above

>>46350062
The new fireteam rules are fucking crazy.

>>46350062
The most significant change seems to be that all fireteams can keep going with only 2 troops, but they lose any bonuses other than order efficiency. Tohaa still need 3 guys to actually form their special links.

Bagh-Mari, Orcs, Karakuri, Zhanying, Pheasants, Mormaers, Wulvers, Govads, Sekban, Asawira, Custodiers (lol), Wildcats, Riot Grrls, Kurgats, Yaogats, Samaritans and Suryats get Haris.

Achilles+Patroclus, Geckos, Taskmasters, Sekban again, Druze, Asawira, Scot Guards, Su Jian, Domaru, Pheasants (these fucks better become worthwhile), Wu Ming, Santiago Knights and Father-Knights get duo, but there's going to be more.

Acheron Falls armies seem to be getting no fancy link goodness.

>>46350440
Acheron falls will get new reserve rules and probably a fuckton of other stuff. It's good to get all the linking rules in one book.

>>46346183

It's fine for what it is. The operator still generates orders and counts as alive for VP and retreat, plus it works great for the sectorial it's in.

>>46350288

>>46350440
>tfw qk
>tfw everyone can do link shenanigans now

Azra'il better get Fireteam Duo

I wonder how Orc Troopers are going to use Haris, apparently it's still sectorial only

>>46350840
Bolts have been pano Wildcat wannabes too. If Wildcats are getting Haris, then Bolts should as well really.

So does the EVO repeater need to spend an order every round to keep a fireteam duo connected in vanilla armies?

>>46350937

Read the text. Pretty certain that's what it's referring to when it says 2 turns, effect effect etc. So every other turn.

>>46350963
>>46350937
I imagine Team Pro will just be needed to create the team. Enomotarchos teams don't automatically break if the Enomotarchos is killed, they just can't reform. This is a similar kind of thing.

>>46350937
>>46351050
I just imagine the EVO repeater program downloading "Fireteams for Dummies" into the Duos cube.

>>46350890
I'd say Neoterra because of the logo, but they could fit into Acontecimento very well. An Acontecimento list with a core fireteam of Acontecimento Regulars, a haris fireteam of orcs and filling the rest with nagas and remotes could be really interesting.

The new fireteam shenanigans seems fun as fuck

>>46351101
Doubtful, since they already got bagh-mari. I'm looking at something similar but with not-toni macayana. I'll honestly be rather ticked if NCA gets an orc harris link before bolts, since orcs are relatively awful, it's not their thing.

File: Screenshot_2016-03-30-13-01-21.png (2MB, 2560x1440px)

2MB, 2560x1440px

All Fireteams have Duo. So Core, Haris, Triad, and Enomotarchos do not break under 3 miniatures.

>Haris
Bagh Mari, ORC Troops, Karakuri, Zhanying, Pheasant, Mormaers, Wulvers, Marauders, Odaliques, Sekban, Govads, Asawira, Custodiers, Wildcats, Riot Grrls, Kurgats, Yaogats, Suryats, Samaritans are getting Haris

>Duo
Achilles/Patroclus, Acmon, Suyrats, Geckos, Taskmaster, Sekban, Asawira, Druze, Scots Guard, Su Jian, Domarus, Pheasant, Wu Ming, Father Knight, Santiago Knights

>>46350963
2 turns would mean needing to use it every active turn. But yes, sounds like it.

That said, due to the limited bonuses, it's not something you need every turn. I don't think it even has a benefit in ARO?

>>46351217

Pretty certain it's a way of moving figures about more than combat bonuses. I don't think they've got any plans on changing those.

>>46351204
Did Carlos say whether or not a duo link of 2 core fireteam models counts towards the normal core link team limit?

>>46351286
I was hoping CC would get some kind of link bonus along the lines of the Antipode rule. Currently you get more benefits in CC when not linked.

Is it the consensus that N2 is superior to N3 due to N3's rule bloat?

>>46351366
Well, you could always break the link and coordinate an order, and that'd be easier because both were right near one another, but with just a pair of figures, I can't see it happening that often, particularly when there's already specialists there. The cost:effectiveness wouldn't be that great.

>>46351373
No.

>>46351366
I think they do, that's why fireteam duo is a rule in units that can already be linked, like domarus, for example

>>46351373
Oh, like how 40k's first edition/rogue trader is better than everything after it? Because it is

>>46351424
I didn't mean with duo specifically.

It just annoys me a coordinated team can't all assist the leader when he's stabbing someone, but any uncoordinated people nearby can.

Other grouped units all get some sort of CC bonus. G Synced models can each make their own attack, and antipodes get a special rule to make up for the fact only one model makes a roll but they're all considered active.

>>46351373
In my experience the consensus is the new edition getting immediately and permanently shelved because the new one is so much improved, even if CB fucks something up (I'm looking at you, dispersion and teleporting grenades). One step backwards, twenty forward.

>>46351681
I meant the old one getting shelved, welp.

>>46351681

Yeah, if anything N3 cut down on rules bloat because it clarified and reworded a lot of tricky sections. The only thing that's blown out is special rules, and not by much, and not in a way that N2 wasn't heading for one way or another. That's due to new units, not a new edition.

>>46351580
I assume that's to represent the difference between a battle buddy and a team of literally synchronised creatures/entities trained specifically to operate simultaneously. Just part of the abstraction I suppose. Pointedly, it may be because small link teams that grant bonuses were considered too powerful.

Beyond that, coordinate orders paper over the cracks in the odd times when coordinated CC becomes needed.

>>46352256
I suspect it's more of a question of bringing units that previously saw little use to the table.

>>46352256
They specified that most units wouldn't be getting this treatment, but it does sound like they are looking to revalance some units that got "left behind" by N3

>EVO repeaters are no more. They are now EVO Hacking Devices

REMs with Hacking Devices? Or does the EVO Repeater unlock EVO HD options on all HDs? Still, I'd like to run one of those. Also a good Baggage train for refilling deployable weapons.

>>46353172

Oh come on, with Duo/Haris you'd have two or three guys with auxbots, which would be hillarious, if of dubious actual value.
As for the Father-Knight, they look gorgeous, have a fairly beefy profile (but a disturbing lack of Martial Arts) and sport some nice kit. Father-Knights Haris link with Jeanne would make my dick explode.

>>46353312
>Sekban Duo
But in QK. Assuming certain things dont change, I like the possibility of running a KTS core, Sekban/Odalisque Haris, AND a Sekban Duo. Just depends on Haris and Duo limitations

>>46346945
So the Overclock program. Its target is a REM with repeater, which allows programs within its ZoC, and it provides "all targets" with B2 in ARO. Is that all targets within the ZoC? Because that could be pretty scary on units that can't normally do suppressive fire.

>>46353385
Man, all those new link options make my head spin, how did tohaa and ASS ever handle that? Just the idea of a Unidron Core with a Xeodron Haris is amazing, but if I understood things right Core comes with Duo built-in, so I might also take a Legate Duo as well?

>>46353392
You cast the supportware once, it applies to all REMs in your force that have a repeater equipped.

I for one can't wait for the RPG. I already have an adventure in mind.

I'll drop my players deep in the Niemandzone of Paradiso. What first seems like a simple rescue mission turns out to be anything but. Intel says that, after fierce fighting with Yu Jing the Combined Army have withdrawn from that sector. Of course, the EI left something behind. A lone Anathematic that starts picking off sympathetic NPCs and incautious player characters one by one. The fact that one of the people they were sent to rescue has actually been septsorized and is actively trying to undermine the mission as well as give away their position.

>>46355091
I wonder which Xeodrone Haris to go with. Three k1s? One k1, one red fury pseudo-Duo? K1, red fury and Samaritan?
I'd assume the kit will probably be sold as a pair with two weapons, same as the Geckos.

>>46355527
Your second group is going to be pretty order-starved. Also, consider putting your specialist in the first group. Specialists are hyper-important in all objective-based games.

>>46355549

The fact that one of the people they were sent to rescue has actually been septsorized and is actively trying to undermine the mission as well as give away their position doesn't help matters.

>>46355549
So, Alien?

>>46355527
Looks solid enough, although I'd probably drop a pair of Naffatun and bulk out the first group with the second group. Beyond that, give the second group more orders. Giving your list some slightly tricker options would help a lot. A Friday or Ragik would still fit with the fluff as well, and give you a sneaky option to match your plethora of brute force options.

>>46355549

That sounds pretty awesome. Although I'd personally put it after a few more slightly more mundane missions, to establish a bit of a baseline.

The other thing that comes to mind is hidden Shasvastii, embryo form or otherwise.

>Raktoraks or Pheasants...
Who is the shittier option?

>>46356088

It's improved significantly in terms of clarity and phrasing, and the wiki's an absolute godsend.

The basic game will seem very familiar in essence, although everything's been polished a bit. Suppressive fire is now 360 with it's own range bands, hacking is far more relevant and in depth, most of the instances where one side would get to roll against a defenceless target, followed by an ARO shot against a passive attacker have been removed in favour of more reactive and concurrent options, and in general a lot of the junkier, gamey parts of the game have been removed.

The most obvious changes was that Martial Arts got a total revamp, with each level now giving assorted, different, selectable buffs. Stats past 20 now increase the dice roll by the same amount, so close combat on the whole tends to be a bit less of a crapshoot, and more reliable, template weapons are easier to dodge, and hacking is now more like a selection of LOS-less gun profiles you can use, but against WIP and BTS rather than BS and ARM. Coordinated orders are a bit different, and there's now a thing called Command Tokens, that can do various useful things like reroll healing/repair rolls, or transfer units between groups, or reduce the orders of the first player.

>>46356381

More specialists, and try to pick up another 2 Riot Grrls. Large link teams are way better than small ones. That LT choice is a bit of an issue as well, as it means that she'll be doing a fair bit of hiding, and she's expensive. Plus that 1 SWC cost is unfortunate.

The list is a bit of a blunt instrument, but that can still work. You could stay with the smaller link team, and pick up an Uberfall from somewhere. That'd round out your capabilities and most importantly, distribute them a bit. Link team, uberfall, and TAG, all working in different sections to create pressure.

But yeah. Big issue I see ATM is you're effectively staking everything on the TAG and the link team. There's worse ways of doing it, but it does leave you a bit vulnerable to chinchanery.

>>46355999
As someone who thinks Chain Rifles are about the coolest thing in infinity I welcome our new BRRRRRRT overlords.

So do I need to use army 6 for new lists? I have an ITS event in like 2 days and would rather not give away my swc and points.

>>46356527
Nah, keep using Army V for now. It's more than understandable for having the same intended results subtracting all the errors in ranges and such.

>>46356527

No. But just select the hidden list option. That's the one you give your opponent, with the points removed.

I mean, that goes without saying. Otherwise anyone with a Alguicile LT would be broadcasting the fact.

>The Chain Rifle uses a length of chain as ammunition, firing it as a cone of red-hot shrapnel via an electric mechanism. It was developed to arm untrained militias in Third World campaigns. A Chain Rifle's wide firing arc makes it devastating at short ranges, where missing is almost impossible. The low production cost and deadly effectiveness of this weapon made it a resounding success in conflicts all over the Human Sphere.

Oh and it's also highly illegal

I don't know how that is anything but awesome.

>>46356196
The discount to a chain rifle from a combi rifle for the Domaru is -9. The upgrade from a combi rifle to a ML is 5 points. Yan Huo at 52 points has a a pair of ML. Presuming 3 points to change the burst of a ML for two of them, that means -8 to get to what would be equivalent for a Yan Huo with a combi rifle, at 44, then applying four discounts for the four chain rifles would be -36 making the Yan Huo Chain Rifle monstrosity of trips a whopping 8 points.

The logic is undeniable.

I keep failing these "I'm not a robot" tests. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

>>46355999
Does Chain of Command still count as a specialist for ITS stuff?

>>46356581
The idea that someone looked at a length of chain and thought to themselves: "I bet this makes for some bitchin' ammo." and then grabbed a woodchipper and a railgun and welded them together into a viable weapon to is pretty metal.
It's something that wouldn't look out of place in the Imperium of Men.

>>46356726
Yes, sir.

Do these released profiles make their way into ARMY 6 before the book comes out? I would love to use my new and improved Riot Grrl in the event next week.

>>46356970
Probably not, I'd wager.

>>46357041
Alas. Oh well, I just started the game wanting to play Bakunin so at least blue skies are on the horizon.

>>46357081
There's going to be a specific date after the book's released when the HSN3 become tournament legal.

Even in friendly games, it'd be a bit of a dick move using the updated profiles against an opponent without those updated profiles.

I did, this list is the 3 models pictured plus a hac tao hacker. you can't see the hac tao, but you can see the listed points and swc. Points honestly shouldn't be terrible as all it does is eliminate a bit of skill in memorization. But listing per unit swc is the problem since you can auto-spot the LT.

>>46357230
Well, CB fucked up. Might I suggest a moment's work with a black marker?

>>46356155

Raktoraks can pair up with Suryat Haris links now so

>>46357473
They've got improved stats, better equipment, new abilities and a cost decrease. A fair amount of it is likely rebalancing but I'm sure many other profiles will see similar changes. These changes shouldn't be applied in isolation, especially in tournament events.

And CB delaying everything from HSN3 from becoming tournament legal until after the book is released is objective fact.

>>46357160
Or you could just ask "hey these look really cool would you mind if I tried them?"

Also I just found out I'm getting off work tomorrow, so I'm going to adepticon early at 10am, can anyone say hype?

>>46358874
Or are you talking about the model?

>>46358874
>>46359191

So which variants will you go for and why?

>>46359643

I have to admit a strong degree of curiosity about the sniper version. That's a pretty neat load out for just 36/1. The upper one is up against Tankhunters and link team AP HMGs, though, so it's hard to say. SWC's the issue there.

I was kinda hoping for a twin SMG or other small weapon option. Something SWC free. Although one day I hope to see a unit that has an Autocannon, and a pair of assault pistols.

>>46359643
AP HMG all the way. If i want a T2 sniper, i'd take the far more suitable Highlander Cateran. It seems like a active turn weapon, in which case the AP HMG can cause just as many wounds as the sniper, but can also negate some armour

>>46359191
Yes.

>>46359643
Sniper version probably. I like the AP HMG minuteman and the SMG packs AP ammo anyway in a pinch. Depends if they release both profiles as minis, I imagine I'll get both as I have a hard on for CB Burgers and low-tech robutts.

>>46355549
>>46355659
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXnAxydhZ8M

>>46356709
it's probably not a great idea anyway, with MOV 4-2.

>>46359886
>>46359954

T2 sniper would make a decent enough ARO turrent I suppose.

>>46356709
You silly billy, the twin MLs are only 1 point cheaper than a MULTI HMG, they couldn't be just 8 points. If we assume that a MULTI upgrade for the HMG makes it 4 points more expensive than its normal counterpart (as it is for all other MULTI weapons) then it comes to 12 points, making the MLs 11 points. That makes the combi price for a Yan Huo 41 points, making that abomination of a unit cost a grand total of 5 points, like some kind of horrifying fat Kuang Shi.

>>46361333
ALEPH really needs to stop the subsidies to the Chain Rifles industry.

>>46360848
Given T2 is the strongest ammo type in the game, yes it's pretty "decent"

>>46362522
I dunno about that. EXP and mono both give it a run for its money. T2 is very nice, but it's really just an all or nothing version of DA.

>>46362739
It's the only ammo type that guarantees 2 wounds on a single failed armor check, and can be fielded frequently and inexpensively. In a game where it can obliterate 70% of models with a single shot and take 40-70 point models straight to unconscious with one ARO, often times from across the table.

>>46362926
Most of the time you don't need two wounds though. But 3 rolls with EXP means you have a greater chance of making a casualty of the enemy figure. And EXP STILL has a good chance of dropping multi wound figures.
>frequently and inexpensively
That's kinda subjective. They're still sniper rifles, etc, and you pay for the T2 rifles compared to regulars.
It's hardly the strongest ammo in the game. It's useful, sure, but not strongest.

>>46362926
Yes, but on the other hand EXP ammo is reliable as fuck and has the potential to take down literally anything but an Iggy or Gorgos in a single shot. And if we're talking context, EXP is often paired with either AP or a template, which makes it even nastier. Don't get me wrong, T2 is good ammo and Caterans are the spawn of satan, but it's not the cut and dry best ammo type.

>>46362926
DAM 15 vs ARM 0
T2: 75% chance 2 wounds
DA: 93.75 % chance 1 wound
56.25% chance 2 wounds
EXP: 98.4375 % chance 1 wound
56.25% chance 2 wounds
42.1875% chance 3 wounds

T2 causes 0.75 wounds on average
DA causes 1.49 wounds on average
EXP causes 1.97 wounds on average

I'm not a statistician
I'm not sure how to do spoilers

>>46363183

The stats are a little off. The T2 causes 1.5 wounds on hit. 4 hits will yield 3 penetrations and thus 6 wounds. So 1.5 wounds per hit.

Of course the multi wound capability is of limited relevance against a lot of targets, but against the ones that it isn't, it's better than 0.75.

>>46363291
Ah, trudat. should be
T2 causes 1.5 wounds on average
DA causes 1.49 wounds on average
EXP causes 1.97 wounds on average

So, what are everyone's hopes/speculations for what the Blackjack is going to look like?

I'm personally hoping for some type of exo-squad/power loader amalgam.

>>46365058

It's probably going to be cleaner than that, but probably bulky, possibly with semi-exposed hydraulics.

>>46365058

My mental image keeps on coming back to those exosuits from that Tom Cruise movie with the groundhog day powers. Like, chunky, but still pretty exposed. Big guns though. Mostly arm and shoulder mounted stuff, though, nothing really held.

I'd say something more Elysium style is more likely though. More like something Veteran Khazak/Mormaer in size, with a noticeable exosuit sort of layered over the top and bolted on, STALKER fashion.

>>46365202

Both of those options sound pretty sweet.

I find it funny that this big, bulky, power suit has the same armor value and protection of a Mormaer. A dude who basically just made a heavy suit of armor out of super space metal and bolted it to himself.

Basically the same weapons too. Mormaer doesn't have exploding chest cavities though so that is a downside.

I'd rather fill them as full link team, unless Acontecimento gets some seriously cool things.

>>46357531
Unless CB gives ASA some really nice new linkable troops, I don't see the point. Far better just to complete a normal link team since they're pretty affordable and your only alternative link is line troops.

Acontecimento is in the unique position where most of its units are incompatible with fireteams due to being synchronized, mechanized, infiltrators or AD troops. Add that to the fact that the alternative link team's best ARO weapon only comes as a sapper, and Bagh-Mari become your only option for a truly good link team.

When is CB's Adepticon seminar?

So ... where are the fat people? Warmachines got at least one from Skorne, and a few trollbloods. Warhammer has quite a few from Ogres, a few officers, a few orks, and so on.

Why isn't there some fat character in infinity? They live in a future with cubes and advanced medical technology to the point where it wouldn't matter as much.
