Infinity is a 28mm scale futuristic skirmish game by Corvus Belli where humanity only has about a dozen decent planets but at least they've made great maps of them.

>>50065088
Acheron isn't a location, it's a blockade based around Paradiso stopping dirty aliens from getting to the rest of the human sphere.

So basically Paradiso is utterly fucked and CA is going to start taking over other planets soon.

It's essentially the wormhole region leading into the Paradiso system from CA territory half a galaxy away. Despite horrendously low survival rates of incoming xenos ships, the EI has billions to spare anyway.

On the off chance anon that wanted to start with Haqqislam from the last thread is here, here's what I'd go with. It builds on the stuff you get with Red Veil. That is to say, the Haqqislam Starter Box + HMG Fasid. So if you've got a friend who's into Yu Jing, this is an easy in for you. Or hell, just get the starter box, the HI blister, and 4 other blisters, and you're done.

Basically, the Ragik in group 2 gets swapped into group 1 with a command token when you take your first casualty. So he's probably popping out unexpectedly later in the game, which is usually best.

The list has a lot of familiar faces for Haqqislam players. A bit of meat, some long range stuff, a few surprises and disruption options, and a little midfield presence where you need it. It could do with a hair more specialists, but the ones you have are pretty flexible, so that should be able to tide you over. Should set you back less than $150, or thereabouts, and it's 300 points.

>>50066402

Been getting into infinity a lot more recently, and properly loving it. Want to dive into 300 points with my buddy the Anathematics, but finding it hard to hit a decent number of orders and hit 6 SWC (most my lists are like 3-4 SWC at most). How much of an issue is this? What do you guys think of this list?
>>
>>50066832
isn't the viral rifle lasiq better then the sniper one for such an army? would help with mid field control.
>>
>>50067638

That's not a bad idea. A spitfire on the Ragik or Khawaji would help a lot with that as well. The Lasiq sniper is just such an iconic Haqqislam unit. And the X-Visor helps keep the gun relevant.
>>
>>50067638
Yeah, and can go supressive.

In answer to a question in the previous thread.

Aspect focused CA lists are some of the strongest Vanilla lists you can run. Not having Link Teams kind of sucks, but the fact that you have an army who are essentially immune to Loss of Lieutenant is pretty Gnarly.

>>50069519
Also, most of the EI Aspect units are W2 heavy infantry with No Wound Incapacitiation is nothing to sneeze at either.

In a small fit of madness I bought this handsome little thing today.
Thing is, I already have a regular Tikbalang, so I need to convert Eduardo a bit so it doesn't look like its brother. Any ideas?
>>
So, I'm looking at the Unidron kit, and it lists all of them as coming with a special weapon.

How would I get the base dudes who just have rifles? do they just come with those parts as well, or what?
>>
>>50071706
Regular plasma unidrons are in the CA starter.
>>
>>50071706
You need the CA starter box for the 3 carabine unidrons. That's a recurrent trend from Corvus Belli: if you want the basic cheerleaders you need to buy the faction starter pack, and then there's the 4-man SWC box with special weapons and equips.
>>
>>50071787
Is that the only way to get them?
>>
>>50071815
Well you could search ebay or similars for used models, or contact that guy in the official forums that provides the split-box service but he hasn't unidrons in stock right now. I don't see other ways.
>>
>>50071636
Melt it's face a bit, in a handprint shape.
>>
>>50071894
Ok, just curious.

I'll likely end up getting the starter, but I was curious.
>>
>>50071955
Infinity is also a proxy-heavy game; you can use whatever as anything so long at it's clear what is what and you don't try to mindgame your opponents by switching trooper profiles around. So, there's nothing really stopping you from just getting the Unidron SWC box and saying they're all carrying carabines.
>>
>>50071636
But is he not a regular Tikbalang's brother?
>>
>>50072458
>>50071636

I don't get the reasoning behind a TAG having two swords and no gun.
>>
>>50072570
No wonder she got her head fried. Who has ever heard of a PanOceanian going for CC first and forgoing shooting?
>>
>>50071636
I just finished painting a Tikbalang and now I'm kind of glad I got the double box one and not Toni. The double sword thing is just stupid. They could have maybe just swapped the weapons (shouldering the gun and holding the sword low), it would still look lazy, but not as bad.
>>
>>50072570
It'd be nice to have a second loadout for the Tikbalang that could be represented by this mini.
>>
>>50073390
sure, but there isn't one.
>>
>>50073440
Wouldn't kill the spaniards to throw in a profile with a Spitfire and a Templar CCW (because I doubt Dualwield PanO TAGs will ever be a thing) instead of the HMG/HFT.
It'd be mostly for fun anyway, because barely anybody would take it.

How come we don't have more outdated/surplus/tank-like TAG models for the less better off factions? Stuff that looks more clunky like the szalamandra or magharibas. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Because there are inly so many 'HMG and one more gun' types of units needed in the game.

>>50074420
Don't put an HMG on it, then. If you're going to look at it like that, we don't really need any more units for any faction, since all "dude, but with X weapon and Y armor" are covered.

Realistically, outdated TAGs would cover odd niches, much like what outdated vehicles still in service after their prime do in real life. I would be amused by an old clunky TAG with a big ass low fire-rate gun repurposed for anti-TAG operations through marksmanship lx and limited cammo.

>>50074497
Best part is that the lore for this makes no sense. A random shcmuck can buy an outdated TAG and become a mercenary, but the planet with the biggest reserves of the most expensive material in existence can't bother to buy some surplus TAGs. There's a difference between being the low-tech faction and being retarded.

Also, isn't it weird how much high tech heavy armor haqqislam has been getting for being one of the low tech factions?

Ariadna tag was mentioned before somewhere.

The fuck? Can't say I expected that.

That said, I love their look and can't wait to paint those three. Not entirely sure about the scheme as of yet, but maybe I should keep it simple with bone-colored armor plates and red flesh.

Kazaks gave them guns.

It's unlikely PanO will sell them more TAGs anytime soon.

I love that idea, just a ton of weird, outlandish designs with barely any rhyme or reason to it.
- Slow, sluggish design with two Assault Pistols and nothing else? Sure!
- Flimsy marksman thing made to be airdropped via parachutist? Why not?
- Spindly, fast digitgrade with otherwise abysmal stats and no gear but a heavy pistol and some CCW? By all means!
>>
>>50074967
Merovinjaneka has ties with the nomads (And can hire one alguacil) they can probably get unmmoddedd lizards or something.


Or Ariadna could go full evangelion and put power armor on their dogs.

I was thinking, since the company now does 3d models, does that mean they can quickly release new poses for units that already exist? Would this be the reason why we've been getting so many models so quickly?

>>50076240
They all died out. No welfare on Ariadna.
>>
>>50075020
Two assault pistols guy better have berserk and B2 in CC.

Keep in mind, we're talking specialized as opposed to the multi-purpose mid-range load-out of most modern TAGs. So, they do have to have a way to make use of their loadout.

Parachutist marksman/sniper tag is perfect, tho.

It's disjointed with the rest of the unit. It makes it look like the designers were looking for a way to add to the unit's cost, rather than giving it a fluffy ability or a useful feature.

They are by necessity a very militarised people too. But also it's fluff for a game.

I don't know friend, back here in Russia it is used to describe a very specific Russian only, very nationalist/old church type of military unit. that is a bit like saying that a texas ranger or a red coat isn't American/britbong.

>>50077424
the Poles spamed the hell out of USAriadna. So it seems like it was not just a new thing=popular. CA was new at some point and no one plays those.
>>50076766
yeah, but considering how demografics work, by the time the old super powers send their space missions and ended up stranded 50%+ of the population should have been muslim. And considering their better adaptability and higher birth ratio probably all ariadnas should look like creamier syrians/libians.
>>
>>50081438
Demographics work pretty unpredictably, mang. It's not a case of "this religion has grown lots lately, therefore that growth will be exponential forever". There's a shitload of factors at work and many of them could change at any time.

Also birthrate is far more connected to education than it is to religion.

>>50081764

>>
>>50081657
Bullshit, they were always Russians, only the pollacks were occupying land which always belong to the Russian empire, mostly through underhand deals with germans and swedish. In fact considering that the Russians were defending the whole world from turks and other eastern nations, one may say that poles were anti europe and pro muslim.

>>50081764
best rules. they are like marines of Infinity. everyone has or had a nomad army. And considering CB does everything to make them even better through limited insartion and enforcing ITS, it is suprising that not everyone plays them in every game.
>>
>>50081953
>all this revisionism
If anything Ukraine and Belarus are on ancient Polish land Russians were always trying to steal when they weren't butt fucked by Mongols at the time.
As for defending the world from Turks, Poland gave them such an ass-whooping they respect Poles to this day. Such was power of winged hussars. And Russia isn't even Catholic.

>>
>>50082040
Since when is being a catholic a good thing? I understand that not everyone can be an ortodox, but even protestants are better then catholics.
The mongols did not win, there was a 400 year old war, which ended with Russians being superior.

And Poles never won a war vs Turks. They won some minor skirmishs vs golden ord. And even that was only, because Russians were keeping them in check. If Russian decided to betray Christianity, all Pollocks would be muslims by the end of XVII century.
>>
>>50082179
Why do Slavic countries use Roman numerals for century numbers?

>>50082294
HB was treated pretty nicely as well. Asawiras are actually useful now, there are various new haris options, Govads/Barids/Muyibs got some new options, Ayyar seem fantastic and the Ghazi buff is just ridiculous.
>>
>>50074313
Literally all of the Nomad TAGs are PanO surplus, previous generation TAGs.

PanO and YJ pride themselves on their modern, high tech militaries. Aleph is Aleph, they don't need no legacy designs. Ariadna is self explanatory, although the Rhino and the Anaconda are explicitly cheaper, mercenary appropriate TAGs. And Haqqislam doesn't have the same need for them in their doctrine/economy, and the Maghariba does fine for the moment.
>>50075120
Remember that Lizards are already modded to hell and back to make them competitive. And the Nomads are always willing to stick a fork in the mega powers eye, assuming Ariadna either trains, imports, or rents the expertise needed to maintain their products.

>>50080916
Aside from the other explanations, it's just as likely it was the 5307th unit to be created. 5305th, Rifle Regiment, 5306th, Sapppers, 5307th, Rangers, 5308th, Tankhunters, etc.
>>
>>50082219
It's not a slavic thing. I'm italian and when I went to school the centuries were always written with the roman notation.

That's because here the roman numbers are regarded more ofthen than not as having ordinal value instead of numeral value, i.e. XVII = 17th, not just 17.
I think it's a residue of the ancient roman culture, other neolatin-speaking countries should confirm.
>>
>>50082219
I dunno. There was a time when Roman nunerals were used for months. And then there's American date format.

ISS wasn't terrible at ITS, it was just really boring and predictable. If you weren't taking a Sophotect, Paramedic Dakini, Weibing, CG Hacker, and sometimes the Ninja Hacker you were gonna have a bad time.

HB was in a similar vein, if you weren't spamming Daylami Camo'd Tankfists, Ghazi, had a Muyib Fire Team and max AVA on Fiday... you probably were going to have a hard time. No one liked the Ghulam link because you couldn't get the full link bonus without taking a Spec Ops which was a little controversial. I know I did not like them. Though my PanO buddy for the longest time used it was a crutch. WIP15 Doc Engineer with a Palbot and Mines. Sometimes Hyperdynamics.


The N3 changes are definitely for the better. I can't wait for the Al-Medinat group so we can Duo Al-Fasid.

I was super excited for that but it's taking so long that in the meantime I started collecting ISS, and I like it so much that I'm not sure I'm gonna do the switch once IA comes out.

Ariadna: Kazaks
Haqq: Al Medinat

Tohaa: Dunno

Acheron Falls is the next book, and it's sort of Paradiso N3. HSN3 absorbed almost all of Paradiso's rules, but there's a little left for the next book to update and it's apparently going to bring a whole lot of new stuff to the table.
>>
>>50081953
>>50082040
There are two ways this can go

The Yu Jing way, where the dominant would be empire finally comes to fruition. Fringe elements are exploited and marginalized, like the filthy Nipponese. This would entail the Kazaks embracing the greater heritage of Russia to inspire their Ariadna culture.

Go the PanO way, where the states that never had world power now come to prominence. Australia and the East Asians grind Western Europe under their bootheel. In this scheme, the Kazaks cling more tightly to their wild and free lives on the great steppes of the Ukraine, the unspoiled wilderness of Kazakhstan, and usurp all of the resources of former Russians that didn't go to to Tunguska.

EITHER WAY...the new Commonwealth will dominate the Polish lahy and the troublesome Lithuanians. But just like the Emperor lets the Nipponese form brigades of Butai to die for their nation, the new Hetmen will allow the creation of a Husaria brigade to ride the roads of Ariadna and crush USAriadna bikes with lance and saber. It will be an 8-4 bike, armor 4, Veteran and NWI, Extremely Impetuous if any Kum troopers are deployed.

More like classic cyberpunk. That aggressive hothouse of culture and technology and tradition and newness all smashing together. Ancient religions and traditions and peoples merged in the newest ways. Runaway, unlimited technology, with a society that's always changing, moving, and exposing itself to new stimuli. An unbounded simulation run by a bored scientist with the finger perpetually on the fast forward button. Beyond that, Tunguska has a very shadow run corporation vibe, and Corregidor is a thoroughly blue colour society.

That's the Bakunin part. The Corregidor are "what if we took South American cartels and African refugees and put them in space" and Tunguska are what if we made a tax paradise that's also hacker refuge".

In any way, Nomads are outcasts.

>>50085228
>Ehh. In my experience Nomads are just kind of Mediocre. CA and Tohaa are much stronger.
Nomads are pretty much the most basic faction + hacking. They have a bit of nearly everything, their stats are good across the board instead of excelling in one and have all the niches filled by at least one unit, sometimes it being able to perform in more than one role (compare with PanO's lack of warbands and smoke whatsoever, premium costs of everything in CA, higher CC stat in YJ or lack of hi-tech gear in Ariadna).

Add to it that Nomads are in Icestorm and are presented with eye-catching red colour scheme. Also "Hacking" make it sound like they are a very tricky, trolly faction, until you learn how limited hacking is.

>>50085620
Really Yu Jing is more of the all rounder faction. CB realised that you can't base a faction around close combat so they made the chinks decent at everything with a HI skew. In my experience Nomads excel at board control. Hacking is part of that, but having great crazykoala access, some of the best ARO units in the game and a large quantity of flamers also helps.
>>
>>50085747
Possibly less goofy, but yeah. Something like the Azrail or Al Fassed is way more likely, though. I assume that's what a relatively old-fashioned, hard-wearing, easily maintained suit looks like in the Infinity universe anyway.
>>
>>50085693
It would literally just be a tag stat-wise and a slightly bigger traktor mul, model-wise. Since, those are S4, They would be S5 or so.

IFVs are much, much larger and would not be able to operate in the crowded maps used in infinity.

I'd say it is to the Maghariba what the Gecko is to the Lizard. Say, 3 STR, but a lower armour. Maybe 360 degree visor, decent but not amazing armour. Can't imagine the movement stat would be great.
>>50085837
The Maghariba does, and a compact AFV could be a similar size. Maybe slightly larger, with some sort of rule that allows it to cross smaller terrain objects more easily. Easier to just ignore them. I always liked how infinity doesn't have to grapple with a seperate 'vehicle' style system.

More or less. Personally, I think Aleph does it to rustle the bushes more than actually expect them to accomplish anything. They do the hard work, and Aleph always has a way to exploit the chaos they kick up.

>>50087322
An ML and a spitfire's an interesting divergence from the usual TAG load outs. Smoke is just nasty defensively with that PH stat. Mines would definitely be an interesting trait. Maybe do an Al Fassed, and have two load outs with a variety of misc extras?

I might drop hackable, though. Ariadnian and all that. It sure as hell isn't remote controlled.
>>
>>50087435
Granted, given how ambiguous Infinity is, it could swing from 'hypercompetent multi-faction team who doesn't give a shit about politics when the future of humanity's at stake' to "bringing back the Vietnam War frag fests".

The Aleph angle does work, though. Draw in dissidents for possible recruiting, or throw problematic elements into a squad where the only harm they'll cause is to each other.

Blackjacks are hackable, and these mini tanks would be operating on TAG technology (Or at the very least, whatever human to machine interface the blackjacks use) in order to be small one manned vehicles and shit.
>>
>>50087479
Or otherwise aim them at situations that need fucking up one way or another. ALEPH can't touch a given region/person/corp for one reason or another, but it can certainly step in, or put a finger on the scales, if someone else starts the process. The agents have to disappear or get arrested, etc, but Aleph can officially learn enough to nail the bastards. A sort of Batman/Gordon relationship, if Gordon was actually Ras al Ghul, and Batman was also Lobo.
>>50087487
That's a fair point, I'd forgotten about BJs. Sounds like there's a cut off point for Ariadnian primitiveness working for them. They've finally upgraded to Win 95, they're modern enough to be horribly vulnerable.

>>50089368
It's overspecialised and expensive, of the 2 units that have it one is utter dogshit and the other is only good because of the unit it's attached to, with several other profiles being valid alternatives. If CB actually did say that then they're wrong, these are the people who thought the new posthumans were a fine and balanced addition to the game after all.

Aleph is one of the best options for that, fortunately for you.

Look at the card terrain sets CB sell, Moto-Tronica, Hephaestus, and Apache. The fourth set witch is Yu-Jing themed is not yet available separately, but is even cooler. At $12-15 a set for four buildings and a bunch of shipping containers, you can get a 4x4 table up to acceptable density, if only two levels, for under $50.

thrasymedes is a seperate character from one of the dire foes boxes.
>>50093673
in the previous edition they were a customisable light infantry unit, as far as I know those rules are still legit they've just changed the interface for adding them to your force. also many people here are of the opinion that they're a shitty crutch.
However official ruling by CB is that you can use them as a proxy for almost anything so do whatever makes you feel good.
>>
>>50093747
So, can you proxy sexy chandra for gruff chandra anyway?
>>
>>50093792
theoretically I suppose you could. I'm not sure if the specific ruling on proxying with them was stuff that didn't have a model or anything you wanted. I know if you told me that your chandra was using thrasymedes' statline I'd be fine with it, but it might depend on your opponent / TO.

I wish JSA would get some more unique Hi-tek stuff. Like an MI that was 4-4 with different gear set ups. Forward Deployment or Hyperdynamics. The Shikami is neat, but has so much stuff on it.

It would represent the Nippons ability to make their more puny soldiers far more effective.

In the fluff, the Nipponese do all of the designing and testing for the HI suits. Why can't they make some sort of augmentive exo skeleton that fits their bodies. No need for the shielding that HI suits would have as that would cost more money. Could even be approved by the State for manufacturing since it makes them more effective "cannon fodder" as they don't have access to the same suits as the State Empire.

Would that sound cool? Wishful thinking?

>>
>>50096401
Most likely they wanted to fit the whole SQUALO ARMOURED CAVALRY name into the stat block and this was the best hey could do.
Also can you really call Remote Presence TAGs "cavalry"? I know tank regiments calling themselves armoured cavalry is a thing, but at least the drivers are still inside the tanks.
>>
>>50096627
think the idea is that tanks fufilled the role that cavalry used to, and the name just kinda stayed with it, so now that TAGs are fufilling the roles of tanks, they now get the title.
>>
>>50096627
Probably a holdover from when Squallos were piloted.
Also, 'Armored Cavalry' sounds more badass than 'Cowardly Deskjockey', which might be more appropriate.

Mhm. Kinda. While, as you already mentioned, the Mech. Deployment is perfect for dirty specialist done dirt cheap, they have a pretty low survival rate in the front lines of the battlefield, so you usually expect them to die after a job well done, therefore reducing your order pool.
>>
>>50097129
Halqa are good as cheap specialists. Otherwise you're better off with Naffatun, sending your cheerleaders to the front is a great way to get them brutally murdered.

>>50096648
>now that TAGs are fufilling the roles of tanks
They aren't really. Tanks and other armoured vehicles are still around iirc, they just can't be deployed quickly enough to have a place in the skirmishes Infinity is based around. They're a bit like light tanks.
>>
>>50096939
Not even a Nisse link, just having Nisses in a sectorial is going to be powerful.
Right now Nisses are one of the few things making PanO Vanilla relevant over NeoTerra. The others are Cutter, Croc Man and Jotum, two of those are Varuna.

Ok, so a breaker Marksmanship guy causes an ARM roll and a BTS roll for each hit, but what happens on the critical hit? The BTS makes the automatic wound, right?
>>
>>50097995
Breaker causes a BTS roll at half, no ARM roll involved
>>
>>50098166
Marksmanship L1, mang. With breaker ammo it causes a half BTS roll and a shock ARM roll.
>>
>>50098166
>>50098198
I'm talking about the Zhayedan, who has a Breaker Rifle and Marksmanship L2. As per page 6 of the FAQ which explicitly confirms it and page 107 of the rulebook, that particular combination causes one ARM roll for the shock from Marksmanship, and one BTS roll for the Breaker ammo type. What I'm unclear about is what happens on critical hits.
>>
>>50098198
>>50098261
Ah, my bad then

I don't think it's clear whether the ammo type or the ability have priority in that case, does it say in the FAQ in which order you make the rolls?

I would say the crit is applied to whichever is mentioned first
>>
>>50098360
As far as I remember, the effect of a crit isn't mentioned anywhere on the Shock Ammo page but the Breaker Ammo page says:
"Criticalhits with Breaker Special Ammunition cause the target to lose 1 point from hisWounds/STRAttribute directly, bypassing the usualBTS Roll."
So I'd guess only the BTS roll is modified by a crit.

Seems like that would be a decent enough clause for priority like I thought; I wouldn't want to unfairly apply a critical shock to my opponents.

I'm pondering dipping into NCA just to throw Bioimmunity at him.
>>
>>50094761
Hey, somebody actually saved my OC from that one time!

Anyways, about the unit itself, Martial arts is already with courage, an ADHL seems like a strange piece of equipment to find on a JSA unit, or YJ in general but I guess the precedent has been set with MadTraps.

Also, for some reason, CC 18 seems like an odd number to have. In my opinion, it should be either 14-16 like the Kempeitai, Yuriko (who's secretly Kempeitei), or Raiden, or 23 with MA L3 like the Ninja, Domaru, or Haramaki. If you want to keep it MA L1, I might even suggest CC 21 like the O-Yoroi pilot. Just 18 seems like a weird middle ground without precedent.

>Hitech stuff
Nah, man. Hi-tek. You know the State would never let them have super advanced armor. In order to manufacture something and make it available for their forces it would have to be approved by the State Empire. So if it was something cheap that allowed the Nippon's to have their pride, they could probably approve that.

>>50095502
It would be nice to fluff out some of the JSA units more. Another clandestine unit or saboteur against the Chinese would be neat.

I'll admit I have a hard on for the new SMG profile.
>>
>>50098691
Bolts are actually quite good. 19 points for a shotgun that lets me play aggressively with a Lt? Yes please.
>>
>>50099342
That's nothing to write home about. And the rest od your army gets fucked by LoL regardless. Their only true advantage (Bioimmunity) is also shared with HI and TAGs and those don't have ARM 2 against normal ammo. You can still play them effectively though. It will just probably be either a very order hungry list or one forgoing usual heavy hitters.
Also what kind of Lt would you want to be aggressive with in NCA anyway.
>>
>>50099423
Anything better than bolts costs 10+ points over bolts per dude for a similar loadout.
>>
>>50099835
In faction or in game? In game even Wildcats have them beat by being slightly cheaper and having Haris and Engineer profiles (and not as much HI competition). While stuff like Muyibs or Bagh-Mari is strictly better. In faction a single Swiss will do the killing better while Locust and Auxilia will take objectives, without having to be in one tight package. Not to mention no 4-2 limit.
There is an aggressive Lt that you can use with Bolts I forgot about, HMG ORC. With her it might just work.
>>
>>50100175
Swiss/Bolt combos are a fun time. Swiss kills things at long range, then Bolts move in to kill things at shorter ranges, take objectives and lock down vital locations. Locusts are great but the hacker lacks the fuckery potential of Bolts, a hacker+shotgun pair seems like it could be pretty nice though. Auxilia are the thing to grab objectives with when every enemy unit that could possibly threaten it is dead, they go down like a sack of shit if somebody puts up any resistance.

>>
>>50100928
Or you could put two Swiss in or a Swiss and an Aquilla if you forgo the Bolt link.

I'd only ever play Bolts against Tohaa or Haqq. And I say this as someone who starts every Corregidor list with a full Wildcat link and generally likes MI.

Honestly, Bolts might be the weakest of the "linkable all-purpose MI type" units. Especially in PanO, where even Fusiliers have BS12, while in other factions BS13 is rare. Everyone else can either do more or is significantly cheaper, making them more viable as cheerleaders.
I don't know how will a Kamau link turn out to be, but their status as LI gives them more mobility.
>>
>>50093408
>Spec Ops don't have rules yet
They do, you need to find the little Spec-Ops button in the army builder. Not all metas allow them, but when they are allowed, it's usually 8XP to spend for 200pts or 12XP for 300pts. /tg/ hates them with a passion, but in many metas they are widely used, either as a backup specialist, an extra weapon or both. Especially since they are linkable with their base unit (although in vanilla ALEPH that is not important).
The Spec-Ops model however is supposed to be a "universal proxy". Also comes with extra weapons sprue, so if you can convert such tiny metal minis, you can have some fun. IIRC Chandra has a sniper rifle, a spitfire and HMG.
>>
>>50101821
Even Arena Rex? Even Guildball? Even Legion of Steel? Even Anima Tactics? Even Dropzone commander? I have some doubts you have played ALL wargames. Tell me about those I mentioned.
>>
>>50101870
I agree that they're the weakest toolbox MI link, but they still have value. Guards are all vulnerable at short range, whereas Bolts can be extremely good at taking and holding ground.

Things are going to get real sexy when they're updated with the new incredibly cheap drop bears and possibly haris. I've been less inclined to take them ever since Locusts showed up to try and steal their job, so they could definitely use something nice.
