Infinity General - WEN FAT YUAN YUAN? edition

>>50264723

Awesome, pretty much everything you would want.

>>50265608
I really want a couple of minis with the fat yuan's body type. Maybe a desperado or a bakunin unit with cat ears.

It's the future. Why would anyone be fat? Fat people are disgusting.

>>50266281
Because they choose to be fat and medical technology can make it harmless.

Also, Ariadna is borderline WWII era tech, right down to them having fucking battle rifles instead of assault rifles. Seriously, fuck this +0 first band bulsshit when modern assault rifles are primarily designed for close quarters.

>>50265929
imo It suffers from a degree from that starter box problem of not giving you the full set of SWC guns. If run as a list it also features slightly weird order distribution since you wind up sticking the excellent Clipsos in a puny 4 man group.

To extract profit, proxy the Ectros as HMG, then use the points from the Clipsos to upgrade one of the Makauls/Kamael into, say, Aelis for her sensor/specialist/viral setup. That way each of your triads can have a badass.

>>50266543
Will they ever fix this favoring of 16+ orders bullshit? Really bothers me how everything with ~10 orders is instantly thought of as shit by most.

13-15 is the sweet spot. All the top lists at Interplanterary were in that range.

>>50267169
Yeah, most people are fat today because they are weak and lazy. When you can sit around all the time, eat whatever you want, and then take a swallow of nanobots to eliminate that fat, there won't be fat people.

>>50267142
>>50267169
It is stated in the RPG thatPeople in this future are almost all beautiful and must have really fast metabolisms due to decades of GATTACA style genetic augmentation.

Take a moment to imagine how much this guy must be eating every day to get that big in spite of these gene mods.

So i've come to ask for some help. I've got a league game coming up and im preparing against my opponent, Currently, I may have one of three enemies, Haq Vanilla, Yu Jing Vanilla and PanO vanilla. I play aleph vanilla . Currently i want to know what units are good against these factions. Thank you, and have a picture

>>50267187
>Implying some Bakunin hobag wouldn't want to sample that sweet sweet XXXXXL ass.
/fit/uture pls

>>50267187
Fat is a fetish, too. 'S why I said Bakunin and Ariadna. One has the disgusting freaks that need to draw all characters ever fat when drawing porn and the other doesn't even have the technology to make shit we have today.

>>50267256
USAriadna also has a Cola factory.

Delicious fatties injected with corn syrup isn't gong away any time soon.

>>50267201
Vanilla factions have so many options that just knowing what they are doesn't neccessarily mean a player will bring particular build, at least compared to sectorials.

That said, there are some common tropes. PanO for example probably bring some form of msv unit, either Nisse, Aquila or both, and this reduce the effectiveness of TO, ODD and regular smoke. This doesn't make them worthless, but don't build your battle plan around those.

Buy th Yu Jing and PanO wull probably ne ng something hackable, so a Assault hacker infiltrator has a real change to do something in reactive round.

One of the most dreaded vanilla haqq combos is Saladin + fidays, so keep that in mind when deploying. If the opponent has strategos lvl 3, be extra careful to not group your models so that a surprise boardingshotgun template doesn't ruin your game.

Poor Ariadnans.

>>50267361
Dawn is quite temperate. If it weren't for the constant threat of Antipode attack it would be a really nice place.

Wait, what if. What if antipodes can join tohaa fireteams?

>>50267536
Nah, Dawn is pretty chilly. Remeber that most of the human settlements are located near equator.

What are ways to counter MS V1?

>>50267688
Only way I think it could be reasonably included in official way is to make a special army list for them akin to the Auroran security detail in Paradiso prologue scenarios.

>>50267747

Medicine Man antipode
Blowgun antipode
Tiki mask antipode
Poison Frog antipode
Tracker/Runner antipode
Pygmypode

I've been pretty disappointed in the sniper rifle bounty hunter lately.

>>50267813
They would have fireteams to turn them regular, i think this would open a lot of venues so they aren't just warbands running around warbanding. The lore is that they turn smart when together, afterall.

Some notes:
>there are S2 antipodes, the russian HVT has one on his combat model.
This explains itself, slightly larger than human antipodes for regular troops
>antipodes are smart enough to use tools, they natively use bows, melee weapons and drums
It should not be hard to imagine them adopting ariadna tech, much like the native americans with settler technology.
>fireteam antipode
I don't know how this would differentiate from triad and enomotarcos, since it would feel like yet another "you can have a ton of fireteams" rule.

>>50267174
>implying 10 orders limited insertion aren't competitive

Warsaw pliss..., 13-15 is polack's sweetspot, 10 is the sacred number.

Also, S2 antipodes riding native fauna. They get their own motorcycle rule variant that lets them climb while mounted and stuff.

Tho, more accurately, it seems to be S3

The other antipodes take their whole base, they are fucking horse sized. Grisha (The antipode with Voronin) is about the size of a new Pan-O knight while on two legs. It's bulky S2, pushing into S3.

EI starts shitposting after PanO higher ups try to make Toni Macayana into a war hero for getting her ass fried while sitting in an office chair wearing an occulus rift. On the game side: several missions focused heavily on TAGS in a short campaign/tournament mission set and a model of Toni's TAG. It's neat, but not several months of build up neat.

So aesthetically which Infinity army is most Imperial Guardish?

>>50271758
With how technology works on infinity, it's kinda hard to paint anyone dying as anything more than a very unfortunate accident. Seeing as people are pretty much immortal due to cubes, backups and shieet.

It's pretty much DBZ tier trivialization, except you have to become an order sargeant and gather rewards points to revive people instead of gathering dragon balls. Tryong to talk about a soldier's noble sacrifice is more like saying "this guy was so shit, we ain't bothering to bring him back"

But Haqqislam and Ariadna are the safest bet, if by IG is "much Liners and a few hard hitters" kind of thing.

>>50271844
Ariadna, or more specifically, USAriadna. Basic rifles. Flame throwers. Heavy Machine Guns. Cheap and plentiful dudes available. Sick vehicles. Giant mutants doing dirty work.

It's not quite that easy in Infinity. Then of course there is always the question of, "Is the one brought back any more than just a copy. Albeit a nigh-perfect one". Cube destruction (get you head blow off), capture (and subsequent horrific interrogation/torture) and corruption. Are all real threats. Doubled down on when fighting the EI.

Then when you get to Toni, she's the example of the example. The one you /would/ bring back, and in general shouldn't even be dying. She did, and they couldn't. Hense the martyr-attempt by PanO and the counter-psy-ops.

>>50272173

I think a few tohaa models in the sectorial, if it used triad fireteams, would be very good. Much like how Bread Ocean has Skynet units in some lists. A sort of "The Tohaa negotiated the truce between these couple of tribes and the Ariadna government" deal because of operating in threes kinship. In which case, they could sneak in some Tohaa junk on the antipodes, too.

Thinking about the wasted potential of antipodes here. But, it would probably be really cool if we dumped a bunch of traditional remote roles on them, too. Instead of dumping all of them on the fucking boring ass Traktor Muls.

Antipode with sensor, sniffers and baggage
Antipode with missile pack
Antipode with total reaction and HMG
Antipode with G:Servant
Antipode wardriver merc with repeaters

Azrails are the only cool models of those 3 though.

Al fasids looks terrible with their "shooting the small gun while holding the big gun at ease" and the super bent barrel on the HRL.

Taskmasters are stupid manlets and don't look at all like a ariadna unit.

Yeah, they did say that really behind schedule.
But at this point I've lost all interest in USARF. Kinda regret buying that shit. The Marauders are dull as fuck and doesn't reignite any interest. I feel somewhat jaded about ISS, but YJ has had a great year (could use new CGs and Kuang Shi though and JSA is still playing with fugly models).

I really like that new bakunin starter, but I'm going to hold back until they actually deliver with the releases/resculpts.

>>50273510
Shotgun marauder and Sniper Marauder look so fucking stiff. But "I'm gonna kill this faggot" molotok guy and Voyeur HRL look pretty good. They don't feel offensively bad to me.

I do find their profiles underwhelming when compared to the minutemen, tho. Seeing as they often hold lesser loadouts for nearly the same cost.

>>50273185

>>50273589
They're not bad - just boring. They're suppose to be stealthy jungle fighters. The sniper would've been my favorite because it has a lot of fortitude/stoicism in the sculpt, but so does almost every model in the army making them all look so lethargic.

Also the MSV1 Binoculars are stupid. I guess they look with one hand and shoot with the other using a HRL/Sniper Rifle? Should've just stuck it on the helmet like the Briscards

>>50272899
>Al fasids looks terrible with their "shooting the small gun while holding the big gun at ease" and the super bent barrel on the HRL.

Fuck you, they're awesome, both on stat and minis. And those superbend barrels can be fixed with ease.

Nah, he'll be as big as other S5 like Fasid, its just they don't split it legs much so it doesn't cover as much base as the other 2.

And miniature's box shots are mostly makes the actual minis looks more shorter and stacked, so it not as accurate as it must be.

Naw, stealth doesn't mean stealthy in infinity. Can't hide or nothing with it. And I don't think a 4-2 unit will ever get to the point where it is flanking an enemy from the back within zone of control. And it doesn't even have weapons or CC to make use of it.

Why the fuck do these assholes have stealth again? Mimetism or cammo would have made more sense if they are "stealthy".

Ariadna is a mismash of modern tech and near-future tech, with guts and survivalism filling the gaps.

Those rifles are chambered to fight fucking giant monsters, and do a pretty good job engaging enemy soldiers clad in powered armor. Given that the other factions have fancy techno-rifles, they're probably shooting humongous bullets, that the Not-AKs are reliably putting out, with gutsy determination controlling the horrible recoil instead of any fancy-pants PanO computerized dampening mechanism.

Also, the +3 from combi rifles comes in part from them being smartguns that auto-aim.

Katyusha rockets, the ones used by the Mul, are WWII tech. It's why it can't hit the broad side of a barn, unless it's right next to it.

The Mul is a remote controlled artillery platform, which is actually a waste, as artillery platforms don't move much, nor seek to engage enemies. So, it would actually be cheaper and more effective for it to be manned. Hell, might as well not mount it on a platform at all and launch them from off-site. Oh wait, they are WWII era, can't launch them from off-site, they wouldn't hit anything.

Application-wise, all you have is a WWII rocket on a WWII era cart equivalent (It's just extra fancy!).

In HSN3 it's been mentioned that CA has a habit of destroying Cubes (as they themselves know the technology) or sepsitorizing them, and even if a soldier's cube is recovered, there's the huge waiting line due to increased death rate in the war. And then there's Cubeless guys like Ariadna soldiers, Hassassins (who use Backups instead) or Teutons who remove their Cubes to be immune to Sepsitor.

Hit on 13 vs dodge-3. Even lower dodge on motorcycles, tags and such. It's a very good template roll. The targeted state cancels the penalties and adds +3. It's essentially the best "guided" you can get barring absolute zero hackers.

>>50275442

>>50274765
>>50274877
The Ariadnan Katyusha is not literally a WW2 Katyusha rocket. It's a small guided ballistic rocket with some sorta explosive payload that's weaker than Infinity-era anti-armor missiles. Which is why it can fly into windows and explode and shit, as well as being compact to be deployed on a little mini-cart bot.

Can I be hacked in aro if I cautious move?

Is there a narrative ruleset for a yourguys style campaign?

If I play Yu Jing, can I have one combat group Japanese, the other Imperial service?

How much much functionality do Kuang Shi have? Can they clear buildings and communicate as if they were robots, or closer to just zombies shambling forward with a chain rifle?

Thanks.

>>50276652

>>50276653
>Is there a narrative ruleset for a yourguys style campaign?
There's a campaign ruleset in Campaign Paradiso, but that's for N2 and hasn't been updated yet.

>>50267201

>>50267344 is pretty accurate, but if you want something more specific... Haqq has good doctors but mostly everything is one wound infantry. Weapons that deal two wounds on hit are very effective because a doctor can´t heal you if you´re fully dead. There´s probably going to be a lot of AROs against you, so bring some way to get around that.

Yu Jing have tools to be dangerous anywhere, but it requires them to sacrifice somewhere else. I´d bring at the very least something against camo, a way to get past mines, and be careful with letting weak cheerleaders alone because a Tiger Soldier can paradrop on your back and wreck shit for very few points. Good access to hackers, so be careful.

PanO has a lot of big guns and great TAGs. So bring hackers.

>>50276653
Also noob here, but given you´ve got no answer yet:

>If I play YJ, can I have one combat group Japanese, the other Imperial Service?

Long story short, you can play either vanilla or a sectorial. ONE sectorial. Still, many sectorial troops are also available in vanilla, so you could make two combat groups, one with Japs and one with IS. You´d be lacking access to sectorial-specific units and you can´t use fireteams, though. At least you can bring in vanilla troops to help round up your weaknesses.

>Kuang Shi
Fluff wise, as far as I know, they´re pretty much lobotomized zombies. In fact, you need to bring in a Celestial Guard with a Kuang Shi controlling device in order to bring Kuang Shi.

KS are a penal group. You´re only there because you´re being executed. You just might do something useful before going down.

>Remotes
I think YJ are AI but still require a hacker somewhere to direct them. Or maybe not. Pretty sure they´re not full r/c, but neither advanced enough AI to consider it one of your guys, if that´s what you´re looking for.

>>50272454
>can 1v1 with muhreen

Interesting point for comparison: IIRC someone at Corvus once said a Veteran Space Marine would have the exact stats of a Sogarat with a HMG.

Not hugely relevant, I just think it's cool that they gave people something concrete and rules-based like that.

>>50276653
No, hacking AROs follow the same rules as other AROs. Remember that you cannot start or end a cautious move in the zone of control of an enemy. Not entirely sure how repeaters interact with it though, someone else will have to cover that.

Sorta. Paradiso had one, but it's a bit outdated now.

No, if you play a sectorial the whole army has to be that sectorial. You can play vanilla Yu Jing though, which allows you to use troops from both albeit without link teams and in lower numbers.

Kuang Shi still have full muscle control, but they're broken mentally and can't function properly without a handler. Alone they'd just stand around until they starved to death or someone insulted Yu Jing, at which point they'd sperg out and shoot the offending party to death for the glory of the dragon emperor.

Remotes are AI, but they're pretty stupid and limited AI.

Newest RPG section: Paradiso.

Anyone found a use for Zhayedans?
I really like their sculpt, but I find their point cost hard to justify. The only profile I'd really use is the breaker rifle one. The others seem rather lacklustre.
I feel automedkit is kind of pointless and risky. Veteran level 1 seems very situational as well.
So far I've had some luck using him to hunt down a fireteam of light infantry (impact template weapon + shock ammo ignoring all cover bonuses hurts!).
Maybe they're better when their sectorial finally arrives.

>>50277569
I feel the same way. Hopefully Ramah Taskforce has interesting fireteam options for him. Be nice to mix him in with different units in a haris or something.

>>50277491
They are about the equivalent of line infantry, but with visors and sixth sense. I'm not sure why you'd NEED plentiful impersonators to run one or two..

>>50277491
Ah sure. They're also nice against Holo2 troopers. Also SSL2 is pretty useful. I think they're nice little deploymeng zone guards.

>>50277569
Veteran L1 is situational especially in an army that can hide their LT pretty well and with Farzan CoC. But not being isolated is a nice bonus. And yeah, automedikit is pretty wasted on a low PH model. But you've already said why they can be so good. Ignoring Cover mods, Shock Template, and Shock+Breaker. In suppression they can be real nasty too. I like them just for being able to ignore cover mods

I'm sure they'll be more useful in Ramah Taskforce.

>>50277569
The Red Veil Marksmanship Breaker Rifle is the only one I consider fielding. Never as a Lt option of course. Veteran is an OK thing to have when you need it, especially when compounded with the Al Fasid. I tend to like it because I tend to run the obvious Saladin Lt (even with the decoy Hafza he can be singled out). His niche as I put him is on suppression fire in a neat building top with some cover to protect a firelane with an objective or something, as it takes a similar role to the viral rifle Lasiq for a similar price or, like you said, to go hunting for squishies. Automedikit takes the pressure off of doctors to not get into the dangerous zone he might be in, but yeah, in a faction with the most doctors it can go to waste. I personally like him a lot and he doesn't disappoint me and usually makes his points back.

HMG Sentry Remotes are universally useful. Only Bakunin and Sin Eaters have any alternative, after all.

The basic 16/17 point scout drones are solid specialists everyone can use.

The 8 point flash pulse bots are shockingly good: they ARO much better than anything even double their price, for purposes of wasting your enemy orders and shutting down rambos.

Techbees will get a profile. 'Similar to Warcor'. So probably a really bare bones engineer with just a pistol.
Vedic is not going to get a Dakini resculpt soon. Or much vedic stuff.
Blackjacks are not planned for 2017. They're gonna be a while.
They're producing sculpts faster than the artists are completing new concepts, to the point where the old staff are returning to do art and design duties.
O-12 needs a redesign completely from their internal.
Tohaa are getting even more zany shit next book.
2nd wave of Spec Ops models confirmed, Nexus Operatives will be released then.

Can I order Montesa knight from new Acontecimiento sectorial without whole box (want ot try E.Y.E.-like colour scheme)?

>>50278537
Bah-Maris are some of the best linkable MI around. Multiterrain, Mimetism, MSV1, BS12, light shotguns and useful skills. Their sole weakness really is being kinda SWC hungry, which is true for ASA in general.

There is a Blister for a Knight of Montesa, but it's not the new Sectorial one obviously.

>>50279684
They also said no new JSA starter because apparently it's still selling well

>>50279817
I wonder if you're a troll. Of course it's selling well, everyone likes space samurai and you need the starter to play them.

>>50279684
>2nd wave of Spec Ops models confirmed, Nexus Operatives will be released then
Hmm. On the one hand, more SpecOps no one ever uses as anything but a proxy. On the other hand, Nexus are much needed. Nearly all CA lists I make have at least one of them.

>Vedic is not going to get much vedic stuff.
That seems odd.

>>50277769
>>50277864

Yeah, it's 0.5 SWC...but it is also a BS 12 WIP 3 specialist for 11 points. The cost has to come out of somewhere.

>>50280445
I'll definitely give Rep for Cho. Did a lot of deals with him in the past. Excellent service and competitive prices. Just don't be surprised if some models/profiles are in high demand.

how well do you think a hsien helmet would fit on a taskmaster?Im seriously considering purchasing the red veil box to make various conversions, including a better taskmaster head, and the haqq big boy into another gecko

>>50283560
Either sounds pretty awful to me, but on a pure mechanical level it might fit well enough.

>>50283725
i think the hsien head would fit well in terms of design. It's shape and chin aren't terribly different from brigada, and will require little modification.

The fasid, on the other hand... That would be huge jumps. I'd have to actually side by side compare them. It might be too far off. That said, I sculpt green stuff at a high skill level, so nothings impossible for me, just a matter of how much time and effort its worth.

Can anybody tell me how I'm supposed to paint the goddamn Kaplans?

Mixed with a bit of grey, darkest shade first and afterwards some lighter shades on bright areas.
With white I start with grey and then glaze on some greyish white applying more layers to brighter areas.

It's one of the most boring and unappealing TAGs around, rivalled only by the Guijia. But the thing about the Guijia is that it still has a unique role within the army. YJ has no AP HMGs and their only other MULTI HMG is slow as fuck, so the TAG at least has a niche to call its own. CA has Sogarats, which are cheaper, decently fast, can engage armour and are extremely tough. Not to mention the new HRMC Overdron and several different types of EI aspect that can fill that role while also filling others. CA has plenty of interesting big things to spend lots of points on, so an uninteresting and slightly overpriced big thing just doesn't cut it.

>>50285596
I'm implying that it's ALEPH players who oppose to Spec Ops the strongest because they got their top tier specialists, can't have anyone coming close

>>50285622
oh right, yeah I can see that, our specialists are pretty nice, I mostly don't use spec ops because A) I don't have their models and B) I kinda like the idea of armies having a weakness and therefore a flavour so I don't feel the need to patch that hole using a spec ops unit, that said unless the opponent has a reputation for being a prat I don't think I'd refuse to play because of Spec Ops.

>>50285527

>>50285516
>it's just one hyperdynamic WIP15 doctor-engineer guiz!
Just because it's not hard to shoot dead doesn't mean it's not a crutch. You're sidestepping problems of your army, which is fine when that army is completely dysfunctional like Shas but otherwise it's just putting a bandaid over a bunch of designed weaknesses.

>>50285622
CA and Yu Jing. Aleph is a dumb gay robot.

>>50285649
I simply find the idea of arbitrarily forbidding a part of the game completely fucking retarded. If a single-wound model with some customization is such a huge game-breaking problem, it indicates something about that player. Infinity is a deeply layered game where every tactic has a counter tactic to it, and just removing some part of it because of strange personal preferences leads to the nightmare scenario of some store in Poland, where the only sectorials allowed are for Nomads and ALEPH, because that's what the store owner and his GF are playing. Multispectral visors are banned too, because hey, they interfere with them Steel Phalax and Bakunin playstyles and we just can't have that.

>>50285516
You're wrong and you're a faggot.

Wew that

>>50285721
>it's just one hyperdynamic WIP15 doctor-engineer guiz!
Take away Hyperdinamic, slap on NWI and that's the Sophotect without the 6-4 movement. The fuck is a Spec Ops compared to that?

>>50285724
They were literally made as a bandaid because of spergs crying.

>>50285724
>muh slippery slope
It's not game breaking, it's just a crutch that you can use to ignore some of your faction's weaknesses. It discourages more creative solutions by allowing you to slap a big bandaid on any list.

>>50285889

>>50285890
I guess Armand Le Muet, Krakot Renegades and Scarface are also crutches that erase faction identity, right?

>>50281837
It's still cheaper than other FO line troops of the same quality (Zhanshi, Fusilier, alguaciles), while still packing a combi. Moderators are clearly a tier below at BS 10 WIP 12. If anything the price is optimized for those stats since 1 point of arm on single wound light infantry is kind of negligible.

>>50285890
Yeah, just like Crusader Brethren erased the distinctiveness of MO by adding AD.

>>50285889
The big figure rumours surprised me, but they're not entirely unwelcome. I suppose Nomads are the underreported TAG faction, in a way.

>>50285778
More like the inherently crappy nature of ITS, particularly at the time. Specialists were transparently a way of making paramedics and the average FO figure relevant again, and more than a few factions, at least at the time, had pretty rubbish specialist options, particularly if you didn't want to choose from the same set. Specialists patched that problem and allowed a more naturalistic list construction process. Plus it's fun to be able to customise things a bit, and obviously they tied into campaign play excellently.

>>50285763
>Just slap on NWI
>>50285806
Still one figure, though.

>>50286026
Apart from the Zhanshi, those other troops get deployable repeaters. That's what the extra point is for. And in no way is 1 point worth 0.5 SWC. I'd gladly pay an extra single point for my FOs if it meant they didn't cost SWC, because then they'd actually be usable.

>>50286074
21 points is pretty big. Some factions can get an infiltrator for that.

And you're pretty much spot on about the reasons for spec ops. They were a bandaid and that made sense, because ITS in N2 was a shitshow and half the factions needed several bandaids. Things are a lot better now, nobody really needs that turbohackdoc anymore.

And as a side note, Muyibs being a spec ops option is idiotic. CB seems to be under the bizarre impression that they're actually line troops.

>>50286074
>More like the inherently crappy nature of ITS...
So not only are they a bandaid, they're an outdated one.

Thanks for proving the point.

>>50286237
>they're an outdated one.
They are 4 years old, after all.

>>50286237
ITS isn't much better these days, though. The basic handling of specialists is still bad, they haven't meaningfully changed that.

>>50286219
>21 points
Yeah, but you can make similar assertions depending on the load out. 'just' slapping on NWI is a bit of a contradiction as well.
>things are a lot better now
Except...
>Muyibs
Better than Daylamis. I get the rational, the basic troop for each faction, but clearly Muyib was the wrong call. Of course, Bakunin don't get any advantages for having to use the Moderator, and that's objectively worse than the Alguicile.

Does the regular order spent for a coordinated order have to be from the same combat group of the guys who are doing the irregular order?

>>50286074
>The big figure rumours surprised me, but they're not entirely unwelcome
>I suppose Nomads are the underreported TAG faction

More like a faction with much oversized old tech with much of weird stuff been sticken in.
I think its fits them quite nicely, most of the human S5 units was salvaged old techs (like Az'rail and Blackjack). In a faction that relies on bunch of black marketed salvages, its quite logical that those brutes are installed in each ships since they can't afford a more compact things that the other 'superpowers' usually fields.
And the recent ALEPH raid means they're in grave needs on superior firepower, just in case.

>>50286644

The other thing that I recall being mentioned about the Nomads is that they really do thrive on smaller scale combat and general special forces style operations. That being the case, they can afford to use a lot of prototypes and custom made stuff. PanO and YJ have empires to outfit. The Nomads just need a few platoons, placed in just the right time, at just the right place.

>ITS is complete shit.
I'm glad it's the official tournament system.

>>50286452
Alguaciles get +1 BS and +1 WIP, Muyibs get +1 BS, +1 PH, +1 ARM, +1 panzerfaust and +1 dogged, not to mention the D charges and number 2. There's a pretty significant difference, it's less comparable to Moderators/Alguaciles and more to Moderators/Wildcats.

So i'm color blind, how can i paint this?
