The Tohaa 300 point box is one unit short of being able to form 3 triads, instead of a Kotail (which is still amazing in its own right) they could have easily added a Gao-Rael in for the same SWC and less points allowing for an additional diplomatic delegate.

So another fluff question.

I was looking over how much influence the religious lobbies have in PanOceanian society and all I can think is "being an Atheist in PanO must suck ass."

Your religious neighbors can volunteer for a soup kitchen on the weekends and get brownie points towards Resurrection while you have to deal with the Department of Social Affairs who are described in the books as being frustratingly bureaucratic.

Being an atheist in pano isn't just frustrating, it's flat out for morons and the equivalent of atheists in fantasy settings with gods walking among men.
>>
>>50340759
Except it's not gods that are doing the miracles. It's science that's available to every major nation, and the known alien races as well.

A Yu Jing citizen being resurrected by the Party is a lot more direct.
In PanO, you just need to do some bribes to the incredibly corrupt Space Vatican, and boom.
>>
>>50340810
The science gifted to man by god. Check mate atheists.

Being an atheist myself, i don't know what's with people and not accepting different settings having different rules. Like, every fucking fantasy campaign has at least one faggot claiming atheism when it's near impossible, or a faggot complaining about women not holding rank in a particular nation. Just look at the faggots complaining about morats marginalizing their women or whatever.

I'm interested in trying this game out, I have another friend who is willing to try with me. What is a good point total for a small 1v1?
>>
>>50341894
The game can be tested at as low as 50 points using the basic grunts, but the units with the skills that really define the game typically call for a game of at least 150 points, and 300 is "tournament standard".

The faction starters are usually around 100 points, FWIW.
>>
>>50341894

The easiest starter games? 3 LI figures per side. 30 points. The starter boxes are usually around 120 or so points, some are higher. The starter 2 player boxes are decently balanced, and they're a great way to learn the game. Go halfsies with a friend, and they're brilliant value as well.
>>
>>50340759
>>50340810
Well PanO is pretty pluralistic.

Yes the Church is the largest issuer of Resurrection licenses, but they aren't the only one. The Hindus are the second largest religion after Christianity in PanO so naturally they would have the authority to issue Resurrection licenses as well. Also the Sikhs, the Buddhists and the Jews. Then you also have the Department of Social Affairs who will resurrect you if you can prove that society has benefited from you and will continue to benefit from your continued existence.

Of course, the ability to issue Resurrection Licenses comes not form God but from ALEPH and everyone knows it.

So I'm interested in tohaa, and people keep talking up the important of triads, and how important they are, but people's lists dont actually tell me what I'm looking for when making a triad.

Like do I want long range firepower, close range firepower and an button pusher? Firepower + filler + button-pusher?

Can any Tohaafags give me some of their favorite triads and why they work?

Depends on what you wanted to do and where they will do work. The thing is that triads are absurdly adaptable, so they can do all kinds of shit.

Vallejo paint set, matte medium, Sable brush.


Don't skimp, thin your paints and take your time.
>>
>>50342908
Paints, brushes, a cup of water. One of those paints being a spray primer, I like Tamiya's.

You'll want a hobby knife (scalpel-looking thing) and super-glue for assembly. A needle file would be nice as well.

Then for basing,well, there's plenty of ways to go there. But some fine sand, some static grass, and a bottle of wood glue would be a good start. The mini is NOT done until you've based it.

A spray can of matte varnish to seal everythign up afterwards so the paint stays on as you play.

Vallejo, P3, Citadel(Games workshop, jews you but is still good paint), and Coat d'Arms. Army Painter starter set is also pretty neat too.

>>50344872
The way I gather why there ain't no female morats in Vanguards or shit like that is simply because the spaniards haven't figured out what their helmless faces would look like, so they release only helmeted Morat waifus. Since most Morats have a severe disdain for helmets, can't really mix the girls in there like you can with other races. It's a bit of a shame, I'd love to see some thicc Suryat or Sogarat ladies.

Morats are only good for boring monkeysex anyway. Unidrons and their brethren are where it's at. Just imagine the softly pulsing, exposed flesh of the unidrons contrasting their cold, smooth armor plates as it dispassionately, mechanically fucks you alongside several other drones. Or a huge Overdron pressing you down with only one claw, tearing away your inadequately-armored suit with precise, economic moves before having its way with you according to its bio-programming.

I'd also accept brutally violent BDSM with Umbras or psycho lesbian hatesex with the Sygmaa.

Theme-wise, tohaa has to be the best designed faction. The themes, unit functions and distinctions are clear as day and it's easy to grasp what is it they do. The tohaa, in particular, do a great job of communicating how they operate differently from other factions through their unique rules that are more than just "here's a bonus to X roll!" or "Here's even more of the same type of unit that does the same thing as the units the rest have!". Even the combined army just feels like the other human armies, which also feel homogeneous to each other.

I really wish they would do shit like what they did for the tohaa for every faction. I'm not completely sure how it would work, tho. I just feel it's silly to say "this faction is unique because it has more camo troops and this one is unique because it has more TAGs"

>>50348850
More like Tohaa has a whole bunch of special rules. It's easy to develop a distinct theme when you have mechanics uniquely designed for the faction, like the unlimited fireteams in vanilla, pheroware, symbiont armor with all its gimmicks and all the rest. Most other factions don't have the luxury of being so over-designed. Also they were the last faction added so CB had to make it somewhat mechanically appealing for new players.

>I really wish they would do shit like what they did for the tohaa for every faction.
Disagree. I think the factions could benefit from some minor flavorful enhancements but certainly not on the tohaa level. Balance-wise it's better if the factions remain loosely tied by a common blueprint, the last thing you want is to jeopardise the game balance by introducing a slew of special snowflake rules for each faction (look at 40k for a case study on the subject, where every army has basically it's own rulebook and the inter-faction balance is considered a joke).

Also imo Tohaa would benefit from a bit more coherent visual style, the units design (especially on armors) are all over the place - think Kaeltar, Kerail, Clipsos...robes, armor plaques, straps, helmets. It's a mess.
>>
>>50349785
Unlimited fireteams is just fireteams you can have more of, pheroware is hacking, symbiont armor is just transmutation. What sets them apart is that they are implemented differently. Differently enough that it changes how the units are fielded and operate.

Morats also get this, with the morat skill strongly changing how they fight and what units they can engage without creating a true subsystem. Too bad the profiles they are attached to tend to be subpar for the total cost. By contrast, Shevashevastits don't really get that much flavor from their Shasvastii skill, which essentially does nothing.

The visual differences between the tohaa are no more pronounced than the units within the various Factions that belong to different Sectorials. Like, if you look at a kaeltar and a kerail and then a domaru and a wu ming.
>>
>>50350022
>Differently enough that it changes how the units are fielded and operate.
That's exactly the whole point, they have special snowflake rules (and were created last by more experienced designers), of course they feel different.
Btw you downplay those elements as nothing when in fact they're very different from the norm and play a major role in defining the faction's theme. Yes triads are just fireteams, but tohaa can make 300 pts of only linked units, in vanilla. Symbiont armor can be similar to transmutation (it's not), except all the special fringe clauses with paramedics and fire ammos and symbiomates and bombs, and also that >50% of the army can have one. Pheroware is not just hacking, it's a whole different subsystem. Of course they feel different from all the other human factions.

Also, the supposed homogeneity among human factions is only skin deep. Yeah vanilla YJ may be similar to vanilla PanO, but if you venture into the sectorials you'll find out the differences are more than just "bonus to X rolls" or more of certain units. Steel Phalanx, Military Orders, QK, Morats, camospam Ariadna just to name a few have wildly different playstyles, and that's because they often have sligthly modified special rules; but there's no need for convoluted tohaa-level special rules to foster a sectorial's identity and cohesive style.

As for Shas I agree that at this time they're botched and uninspiring but we'll compare after their rework.

While I applaud CB for their dedication to writing faction fluff that is morally grey I ran into a problem.

I was trying to come up with a Pros and Cons list for each of the factions from the standpoint of "What if you were a normal citizen of this faction" and I realized I couldn't come up with anything positive to say about Yu Jing.

CB are normally pretty good about keeping things morally grey but Yu Jing are just so cartoonishly evil.

Now on the matter of tohaa's visual design.

>The visual differences between the tohaa are no more pronounced than the units within the various Factions that belong to different Sectorials.
But since the tohaa has no concept of sectorial (for now) I expected them to be a bit more homogenous, like for example in PanO where you can guess from a glimpse that an ORC and an Swiss, or Akal or Crocman come from the same faction and share a common visual language. The armor share a cohesive style and color.

Tohaa's visual clutter becomes a concern, albeit minor, when it comes to design a color scheme for the army. Let's say I start a faction and want a limited palette to form a unified look, so I define the color fields: the armor plaques get a color, the fabrics another, then NMM metals, accents of another secondary color or 2, the weapons. Following this I already defined >90% of my army, with some minor exception.

With tohaa it's not as easy. They are over-designed, full elements like straps and different armor pieces. Someone has a hood, someone a robe, or a jacket, or pants, different armor pieces, different styles of helmets, everything with peculiar forms and patterns. Defining color fields for a unified scheme is a mess. Just look at the colors used on the official models, they're all over the place and look cluttered. At least they're coherent here, tohaa are overdesigned both in looks and rules.

Idk maybe it's just me but it doesn't look elegant or well thought at all.

Yu Jing are basically "PanO, but less freedom", which honestly isn't that bad. You still get to live a fairly comfy, secure life with all the modern benefits, unlike the knuckledraggers on Dawn or the degenerates in space-Sodom and space-Gohmorrah.
>>
>>50351177
Did you manage to pull anything from the RPG chapter? That's CB-approved, so it's almost as good as proper CB lore.
>>
>>50351355
From the RPG chapter. Yu Jing's population are literally taught to believe that it is the Manifest Destiny of the State Empire to overthrow PanOceania. After all, the 21st century was supposed to be the Chinese century but then PanO changed the rules and stole it from them. No wonder they hate PanO so much.

As for being a citizen. It's probably similar to being a citizen of China today. You get a Cube for free (unless you're Japanese), the government is obligated to provide jobs for everyone so if you don't rock the boat, you can do pretty well for yourself.

On the negative side, Yu Jing cities tend to be dirty, overcrowded and have a decidedly Blade Runner-esque appearance. Also, people who rock the boat don't live very long.

The Imperial Judicial Service are basically like the Judges from Judge Dredd except they also know Kung Fu. God help you if you do something to bring them down on your head.

Also you have to do to end up a Kuang Shi is tell an unkind joke about the Party or the Emperor and have the wrong person overhear you.

>>50351177
I like how one person on the forums put it while comparing to PanO:

It get's difficult to explain what is good in Yu Jing style authoritarianism to people who are predominately Western cluture.
But let's try. Let's make it polar opposite to PanO:

- in PanO, there's freedom to. You are free to be poor enough to be a victim of a traffic accident (because you weren't able to pay a comlog subscription to keep showing you the traffic signs. In TAGs of Avalon, we have a character who had to be very careful biking around the city, because she didn't see traffic lights, being an Atek - too poor to afford comlog subscription that would show her these!). If you're starving, or freezing, or ill - you are free to be so. The state has no hand and no interest in that. It is not the state's role to care for you if for any reason bad luck has befallen on you and your family (even if you had no fault in it... or no chance of having any influence on it). You are your own responsibility.

- In Yu Jing, there's freedom from. You are free from being starving, freezing or being left unattended in illness. Emperor's duty is to care for his subjects (Confucianism is very patriarchal in nature - and the Emperor is the top patriarch of the nation). It is not "communism" in the meaning that everyone gets an equal share, but the state makes sure nobody is extremely poor and unattended. That everyone has at least a living space that is considered fit for a human being, enough food of appropriate nourising value, and medical care. And there's Imperial justice for everyone. It is often harsh - the punishments are severe - but it is quick, and after all, punishments are for criminals. They are to be harsh if they are to make the criminals stop comitting criminal acts. Because it is the state's role to care for its denizens.

I personally wish that the CA had a bit more of the tohaa special snowflake treatment.
In my oppinion having all the human races be variations on a theme works fine when you have two alien forces as well, because humans, as a rule, think along similar paths, and in the human sphere they're all sharing/stealing developments and responding to each other, they've been doing this for a long time, which to me would lead to a very similar capability set with some having advantages in certain fields (I'm just ignoring Ariadna in this btw, they're the same though as they have the same 2000 years of human development behind them as the other factions)

The tohaa however are entirely alien, they've developed seperately to humanity overcoming their own trials and finding their own solutions to problems they face, this is evidenced by their reliance on biotech rather than quantronics and machinery. Their use of 3 man fireteams as the basis of the tactical unit comes from a different way of thinking to humans and all these things are manifested in their special rules.

The CA on the other hand... well they're very similar to humanity just some of them have plasma rifles and the occasional special rule which doesn't really have huge gameplay effects. despite the fact that everything I said about the tohaas difference from humanity should apply to the CA as a whole too. they should, internally between their sub-races, have the same technological ecosphere as the human factions do given that the EI would have had the same effect as the humans internal conflicts and arms races, it would have taken any technologies independantly developed by its member nations and shared them out where apropriate.

TL;DR Tohaa are suitably alien, CA are not, human factions are fine.

So I got me a Kameel from ChoKonnit after loving the model for like 3 years but always having other shit to buy.

Toni was removed before Tikbilangs had a model and she basically obsoleted the base profile. Most of her capabilities besides LT we rolled into the base profile. So removed before release but mechanically compensated for.

Ko Dali got sepsitorized and now works for Combine. Removed for story reasons.

Invincibles got phased into other profiles.

It's not like you lose the models, which oretty much always have a legitimate proxy choices as some profiles of the unit the character is part of.

Besides, people as CB aren't stupid enough to change (popular) units too drastically. Interruptor has said, tjat even if they planned to kill larhe parts of PanO as part of the story, people wouldn't be too happy if they removed fusiliers from the game, and so they have to can me up with something else.

I know many players are distressed about the conclusion to our new event "break of dawn", but they have to understand that Ariadna could not possibly fight the might of the combined army with their lo-tech. It is.. Lo-tech. And they could not shoot 911 Combined Army starships with their Urugans, they are lo-tech. And then there was the whole thing with cammo spam being broken. I mean, a player could bring a mentos dispenser full of cammo tokens and just pop them all over the map without a single soldier in sight. We had to make sure they could not, how you say, dominate the game. So, we did the only right thing, because they are lo-tech. But, don't worry, Van Zant will now be a part of Haqqislam, so you can still use him!

Exrah were unpopular, inconsistent in design, and expensive to produce. Balance was only one part of it, CB just wasn't happy with the bugs in general.

Generic Invincibles weren't broken at all. They sucked, like most HI in N2. Shang Ji and Zuyong are an improvement in every way.

Toni would be difficult to make unique without rendering Tikbalangs obsolete again.

Ko Dali got switched to another faction for fluff reasons. She's a character, you can still play the Tiger Soldiers she's based on. Same goes for Toni with Tiks.
>>
>>50354541
Consider that the only units that have been totaly removed have been either special characters or a race that has been removed due to issues creating models with their current design and have been stated that they will return at a later date in a new form.

Following that toni had legitimate reasons to be superflous in the current game so her going isn't really a big deal, unfortunately I don't know where ko-dali sat in regards to similar units but everythings been re-balanced twice since she got sepistorised so I doubt she's left a huge gap.

the point I'm trying to make is that the removals have not impacted end point gameplay much and the only time it's been a core unit has been due to other concerns. I doubt we're going to see them removing unit types wholesale without serious reasons.

Dawn literally breaks under the onslaught of The EI's offensive. 911 ships made it for the attack, and Ariadna tried to stop them all on their own, but they couldn't. Ariadna is going to be dissolved as a faction, but many of the characters will be available in haqqislam and nomads, with a few popular units becoming bounty hunters.

Reminder that the Combi Yaogat is obsolete (the profile doesn't exist anymore, it got changed into the hacker) and it's still sold in the the box because it was changed on a whim and now you get a useless model which accounts for 25% of the box.

The Combi+Panzerfaust has its own unique model.

BRAVA CB
>>
>>50356958
The combi+grenades profile was replaced with the hacker. The model doesn't look much like a hacker, but that's what it's intended to be used for now.

And the combi+grenades loadout was fucking useless anyway. The shotgun is far better for filler, and the panzerfaust gives you much more utility if you really want a combi rifle for some reason.
>>
>>50357109
So make the loadout useful (like give him smoke grenades) instead of turning it into a completely different model they'll release a blister for anyway.

>Being a CB apologist

They did make it useful. They made it a hacker. Would've preferred something cheaper like a paramedic or FO since Yaogats have no BTS and mediocre WIP, but any specialist option in a link is good.

I'm not the one who made that statement, but I do agree with it for the most part.

The combi Yaogat is not a unit type. It's a single profile, and a shit profile at that. It was then replaced by a more useful profile that uses much of the same equipment and was intended to use the same model.

Life as a law-abiding citizen in YJ is actually pretty damned good, all things considered. Between the snippets from HS and the rpg bits, the average citizen in YJ is doing about as well as an average Spanish citizen in the real world today; that is, he or she works for a living...for about 20 hours a week. Remember, the vast majority of humanity does not do manual labor in this setting.

Now, in both Pan-O and YJ, being even slightly above average economically means not having to work and being able to spend all day on future-internet, which is nice. YJ, unlike Pan-O, provides a basic (meager) wage, shelter, and foodstuffs for even the poorest and most disabled of its citizens. Conversely, having ambitions or intentions outside of your 'place' in society as dictated by your abilities results in a visit from Asian Judge Dredd. That's why there's all that bureaucracy swapping in HS.

Now, granted, you might not like living like this, but that reflects on how good you have it. Would someone less well off give up some of their freedoms for the assurance of security, steady wages, and good dental insurance? Hell yeah they would.

Also, CG gals wear underwear to work.

Yep, and they have said priority for resculpts is currently based on sales. So, it's pretty much confirmed that nobody wants to play degenerates.

Magister-Knights used to be able to form a core link by themselves. Now you must include a Knight-Hospitaller or a Santiago Knight. in the link. On a mechanical level it's probably an improvement, since it allows for a Spitfire or HMG in the link, but for some it breaks the fluff.

>>50360833
Not quite. Haramaki are one of the best linkable HIs, second in my opinion only to Riot Grrls.

They get the uniquely undercosted 1SWC Missile Launchers, so they can field 2 to form a truly unassailable firebase, as well as weapons capable in ARO. Ther basic versions even carry Blitzen, which makes them capable of long range ARO or direct attack against hard targets.
>>
>>50360913
1.5 SWC missile launchers, actually. 1 SWC would be truly insane. They're still very good though with very cheap BS13 and 2 wounds.
>>
>>50360833
Its actually great for JSA, Haramaki now get access to a high B weapon in a link, and I can hide obvious domaru lt in the link.
>>
>>50360892
After a two months of demo games and studying the various factions, I'm of the mind that PanO is straight up the best faction. Possessing enough variety to field various types of lists and take advanatge of the strongest skills and their counters while also possessing absurdly high amounts of the most important attribute in the game.

I'm seriously considering cancelling my order for Ariadna stuff ("It's strong, i swear guys!" - Camo spamming scum who doesn't even use 90% of the faction's units.) and just going for PanO for that sweet flexibility as much as I don't care for their wannabe 40k aesthetic.

I actually prefer
2 ML, 2 Chainrifle, e/m sword domaru, contender or shotgun

Use the MLs as roadbumps to eat orders, then run the remainder up after they fall. I just never plan on activating them until the MLs die, so I can spread them the full 17'' apart fo watch as much of the table as they can.

I've tried the domaru spit before, but having the shellgame lt is nice, and the link turns into a 5swc investment.

PanO is easy to play at a beginner level, because it's literally just point and shoot: the faction. When other factions start getting better with their tricks is when it becomes harder to keep up.

>>50361022
There's some decent variation in Domaki links. My most common one is the 2ML+Lt+2contenders, though I've had luck with the ML+Lt+2chains+contender and 4ML+Lt before. The quad missile launcher one was great fun and surprisingly effective, even if it took all my SWC. Never underestimate the power of Shikami and Lu Duan as SWC-free attack pieces.

>I'm of the mind that PanO is straight up the best faction.

>>
>>50361081
Most "tricks" fail in front of a well prepared PanO army, which is why they don't need them. They can albedo-msv in response to msv-smoke, for example. They eliminate the special skill that makes your trooper more than an arm 1, bs 11 shitter and just kill it with their superior stats.

There doesn't feel like there is much of a reason to run anything else other than to fuck around ineffectually or because the faction is PanO II (But not really, we totally have different things!).

>and just going for PanO for that sweet flexibility
The problem is that PanO is not flexible at all. There's not a single PanO warband unit, Heavy Infantry is very specialized and their infiltrators are lacking.
PanO is easy to play, but it's also predictable and other faction players can easily circumvent a badly positioned heavy hitter (like when a Maverick with LRL destroyed my troops while the Tikbalang was on the other side of the table). Not to mention their stuff tends to be expensive and Docs/Engies are pretty bad.
>>
>>50361146
Wait, hang on. I take back my previous post. You're not even saying you'll use them offensively. You're saying that somehow leaving your multirifle black friar out in the open where it can shoot back against MSV+smoke is a good idea. As if the non-PanO player is so terminally retarded that they can't possibly use a normal unit with no MSV against it in the friar's -3 range bands.
>>
>>50361263
They have the important part of a warband, discounted units because they have a "disadvantage".

Specialization is good, you don't want to play for random shit you won't use.

PanO can easily circumvent a badly positioned heavy hitter as well, this is not a trait unique to other factions.

It's negligibly more expensive. You can make a list with 10-15 orders easily, and your units will be better pound for pound than the other guy, unless he's running the other PanO.

Specialists having low willpower is neglible when you have the tools to effectively protect them. In the end, it's something like 10% less likely to get the roll. A specialist that is 90% as good as another specialist is just as good 90% of the time.
>>
>>50361323
>They have the important part of a warband, discounted units because they have a "disadvantage".
There are several important parts to a warband. The first is price, as you stated. PanO does not have this. They don't get any 5 point units, and they certainly don't get 5 point regular orders like YJ.
The second part of a warband is smoke. PanO has absolutely none of this, and while they have one troop with eclipse, it's an unreliable BS10 bitch that's attached to an expensive HI.
The third part is trading and board control. PanO doesn't get any cheap direct template dickheads, so no luck there either.

I'd argue that much of the PanO HI isn't specialized, I'm not sure what the other anon was talking about. Knights are at that sweet spot where their CC isn't actually worth using, but it still costs extra. Half of them are also frenzied, which makes them significantly less effective after scoring their first hit.

>PanO can easily circumvent a badly positioned heavy hitter as well
Not as easily as all those smoke-using factions. The ones with access to white noise or good eclipse platforms do it even better.

>your units will be better pound for pound than the other guy
That's completely untrue. Most of your dudes are a little better at shooting than the opponent's at the cost of helpful abilities and sometimes versatility.

PanO is easier to learn, that's all. I won't say they're easier to play because really, once other factions start to know what they're doing PanO needs to actually set up its sledgehammer so it isn't destroyed by tricks and gimmicks.

The warcor used to play nomads.

He pays thirty points for an engineer or a sniper and it gets soundly beaten by fucking anything due to being so much weaker in face to face rolls. He switched from his specialist and hacker spam list to a specialist and brigada link list that got wrecked by a single cutter unloading into it on the first turn. Now, he's also playing PanO.

If both players know how to play, high stats > "tricks" as the opponent can play smartly around the skill or equipment and then it comes down to face to face rolls, where stats are everything.

If he knew how to play, he'd whack that Cutter to pieces using Jaguars or hack it with repeater network.
What's that, Cutter is invisible? Yeah, it can't see through smoke either. Guess who can: every MSV2 troop. And everyone but PanO has them with access to smoke.
PanO is strong, but BS isn't everything. I should know, I play PanO.
>>
>>50361977
Do you people just not put terrain on the board?
>>
>>50361977
Maybe he should have gotten good. Cutters =/= all of PanO, they're a crazy powerful unit and one of the few that has specific counters that must be utilized if you want to kill it. Hacking is one of those counters and HI links are not, so he done fucked up bringing a Brigada link that game. Should've invested more in hackers, flamethrowers and warbands. Maybe Rudy too, though the HMG isn't all that reliable against heavy armour.

And terrain. If a Cutter can easily ride up to his link and shoot it dead first turn, then he either fucked up his deployment to a degree where I'd worry about his safety near busy roads irl, or you don't have enough terrain.

>>
>>50362004
The first 10 or so inches of the deployment zone tends to be barren. So, many units just end up cowering behind a single building in a pile or standing in the open during the first turn. Nobody listens to me when I tell them this is fucking shit, as I'm the newest faggot there and everyone has been playing since Icestorm.

I find talking to the warcor exasperating, as he will hold the opposing view to everything I say and otherwise just puff up his chest if I talk. Hell, last week, he was insisting that the point of origin for an impact template is the shooter, when I had just read it's the target just a few hours before. Overall, the atmosphere is munchkini (Like, when my opponent was refusing to tell me if my unit would end up in LoF and the warcore insisted that he only had to tell me once i finished the move or the warcore tricked me into using my final order to use possession and then told my opponent he could get rid of it immediately with a token) and just gross.

I'm just fucking mad and impotently shitposting about PanO to vent. I have half a mind to just tell the store guy to cancel my order and just go back to playing RPGs only.

>brigada link list that got wrecked by a single cutter unloading into it on the first turn

Brigada links are awkward to use because they aren't raw powerhouses. I've found playing them like upgunned light infantry get's them a lot more mileage. Just like the gecko is played as a big HI and not a small TAG.

But yeah. Saying Pan-O wins best because of high stats is like saying green is best in magic because it has the biggest creatures. After you see enough BS14vBS3 trades lose to a crit hit, you'll begin to see that high BS isn't all powerful, just good.

Did he try hacking it, flaming it, discovering it or hotgluing it?

Oh yeah, and he can just smoke the thing too.

Sounds like the guy just didn't know what the fuck to do. This isn't 40k where switching your army is the answer to losing. Here you actually have to come up with a strategy to counter the enemy's strategy, and he played the faction with all the tricks in the book against it.

Ateks get fucked real hard in PanO, and you don't exactly get a choice in becoming one of those. YJ has their underclass too, but it's more racially motivated. Chinese love their grudges, and the Sino-Japanese war is still a fresh wound for them.

>>50363024
I found the store and I was looking at the Yu Jing, because pic related >>50362778 made a convincing case for them and I stumbled upon it, so next question, is there like a road map for the Yu Jing, like after I buy red veil, what else should I buy?, and what are things that I should beware about them?, how's their play style?
>>
>>50363187
Yu Jing really like heavy infantry. 2-3 HI is average at 300 points. Beyond that they have a slight preference for close combat but are mostly all-rounders.

Remotes are always a reliable choice in any faction. I'd recommend getting the standard Yaokong box first, it's the only thing I'd tell every player to get no matter what.

There's also Celestial Guard and Shaolin, which can provide smoke that goes well with the Hsien in RV. You could probably get away with proxying a spec ops or Zhanshi as the CG so you don't need to buy a box of them, and if you're using the CG it's worth it to get some Kuang Shi as well, they're very useful.

Another HI you like the look of is a good purchase too. After all, it's what YJ is all about.

Guilang has an old sculpt, but it's a tremendously useful infiltrator for laying mines, hacking and taking objectives.
>>
>>50362902
Ateks are the few that fell through the cracks, for whatever reason. It's premature to draw any conclusions further than that given we have no idea how many of them there are. They exist, but for all we've been told as players they might only be a fraction of a percent of the population.

Nobody argues that the US welfare is best. Some might argue that no welfare is best, and thus the US is on the right track, but nobody could confuse the clusterfuck of an existing system, that can't even get a basic medicare style universal service right, best welfare.

>>50363387
I have to quote >>50363387 it's all very solid advice. Things like the basic Yaokong REMs, Kuang Shi and Guilangs form the backbone of 90% of YJ lists, can't go wrong with any of those.

A personal advice that I give you (and many may disagree but wathever, choose for yourself) is to decide early if you like any sectorial and buy accordingly. As it is now you have some options for expanding your force:

1-"mix & match" approach. Play vanilla and buy models you like without thinking about sectorialss or background. You get the true YJ experience and have the maximum flexibility of units to choose from. It is certainly a valid way to go but peronally I don't do it because from a visual perspective I don't like mixing japanese and chinese units, but maybe you won't mind.
RV units useable: everything

2-Japanese Sectorial Army. They play in a peculiar "in your face" way and don't have access to many YJ staples, but compensate in the form of awesome ninjas, bikes and frickin space samurais. If you like them I suggest to skip the shaolin, kuang shi or guilang and instead get things like the starter box, Kisaragi+aragoto box, support pack, Raiden HRL, REMs.
RV units useable: Ninja
>>
>>50363387
>>50364689

Cont.

3-Imperial Service Sectorial. I envision them like a mix of FBI and Stasi with a bit of Inquisition feel. A balanced faction that juggles some tricks and brute force, and they get a helping hand from our friendly neighbourhood AI ALEPH. If you like them I suggest the starter box, Kuang Shi, Yaokong and Yaoxie REMs, ALEPH support pack, Su Jian.
RV units useable: Hsien, Ninja; Zhanshis can proxy for Celestial Guards just fine.

4-The Invincible Army. Technically it's not implemented yet so it's just like playing vanilla, but you can focus on the models for the upcoming sectorial that should be released sometimes next year. This faction's focus are the the amazing YJ Heavy Infantry units, no need to tell you how awesome it will be. If you like them (and feel like waiting >1 year to use them at the fullest), you can get the staples mentioned above plus something like the Zuyong HMG, Yan Huo, Hac Tao, Tiger Soldiers or Guijia.
RV units useable: technically everything as it is vanilla, but specific IA units are the Zhanshis, Zuyong, Tiger Soldier.

>>50364704

>>
>>50364249
>what to buy
Guijia? Not really. It's a centerpiece, but if you just buy it to fill points your awesome hammer will quickly become an awesome ball-and-chain.
Seconding: Guilang, Yaokongs, Kuang Shi (but you'll have to have a Celestial with Kuang Shi Control Device to field them), also Yaoxie as they're cheaper MSV than the Hsien and quite fun to use. Also a support pack of some kind (I prefer the Tokusetsu). Maybe Aragoto or Asuka if you like fast things going vroom. Yan Huo HRMC for awesome heavy support piece.

How are you supposed to use bikes? Most are flimsy and the extra movement means that they will just get themselves stranded far away from support. Since they have a harder time dodging, it's not like they have any particular survivability for hanging around solo. And it's not like they can dismount and take cover near the objective, as they are impetuous even when outside the bike.

The only reason to take them seems to be when the sectorial/faction is lacking in some skill or whatever they have (Like taking mavericks in ariadna because visors). Otherwise, they seem to be very expensive for impetuous troops.

Celestial is a Celestial Guard, MSV is Multispectral Visor, glossary is here:
http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/18880-infinity-acronym-glossary-for-newbies/
>>
>>50366317
Celestial Guard. One of the line troop of Yu Jing. To take the Kuang Shi (4 point regular guys with impetuous) you need one Celestial Guard with a Kuang Shi Control Device in their combar group. Plus, that one comes with a smoke grenade launcher. Otherwise, celestial guard are decent troops with higher than average WIP.

MSV: Multi-Spectral Visor. Comes with two levels. L1 lets you shoot at camouflage troops and ODD reducing 3 from the MODs provided from those skills. It also reduces the mods from Low visibility zones from -3 to 0.

L2 lets you reduce the MOD from those skills by six and lets you see through Smoke (zero-visibility zones). So a Guilang with MSV Level 1 for example will be hitting at -3 against Thermoptic Camo troops like ninjas instead of the usual -6 and the Hsien or Rui Shi can shoot at such a ninja without the -6 mod from TO Camo and through a smoke grenade template on the field.
>>
>>50366317
>Celestial
Celestial Guards. The loadout with the Kuang Shi Control Device (KSCD) is a prerequisite for taking Kuang Shi in the army, and they must be deployed in the same combat group. The fact that this model has also a smoke grenade launcher makes it even more important, especially in ISS.

>MSV
Multispectral visor, level 2 in this case. It's an equipment that allows the unit to ignore most special visibility modifiers when shooting and discovering, like mimetism, camo, TO camo, ODD etc. Super useful with the aforementioned CG KSCD because it also allows to draw line of fire through smoke, so you can shoot targets normally while imposing huge penalties on return fire.

They really punish turtling behind total cover since they spend fewer orders to disrupt it. Get up the field super fast and drop a direct template/short range shotgun.

Opponents who set up ARO lanes will force you to deploy them in weird places and spend half the battle circling nowhere. Those are opponents who can be shot at with the whole rest of your list. Many bikes of course can smoke up past those AROs. MSV link teams will stop that - but tend to be expensive, vulnerable one wound models.

Don't forget that MSV also has a third level that makes Discovers to automatically succeed.
>>
>>50366361
Smoke up your advance (and that of your other troops).
Ride up to the enemy as close as possible.
Kill something 3 times as expensive.

Wait so all an Atek is is someone who doesn't own a cell phone? I thought it was more than that. I thought the Ateks are legally non-persons a-la the SINless in Shadowrun.
>>
>>50363432
I think the RPG Core book states that Ateks are only a fraction of 1% of the population. However, PanO's population is so colossal that that vanishingly small proportion still numbers in the tens of millions.

I think the SINless example is a good example of how people end up as Ateks. Not only do they not have access to the quantronic network, this means they have lost access to their important documents, they have no membership in any Lobbies and thus cannot vote, and their lack of access to Maya means they are legal non-entities.

>>50367628
I love that model, but it pisses me off so much that it doesn't have a panzerfaust in the orofile despite clearly being modelled with one.
>>
>>50368395
Ateks don't have it *that* bad, although there actually are anti-Atek movements that would love them to be outlawed.
Basically they're the poorest of the poor, but can still own a car apparently.
>>
>>50368684
wat?
>>
>>50368839
There was some kind of Panzerfaust on Aquila meme. I guess the thing on his left shoulder looks a bit like Magister Knight's and Teuton's panzerfausts.
>>
>>50368993
You mean the panzerfaust above that gizmo, like on the left model?
>>
>>50368993
Pretty much. The clamp looking thing on the outside is probably some sort of generic Pan O electronics pod. The Uhlans also have them. The other tubes don't look like the panzerfaust racks at all, besides their positioning. My guess it's all part of the assembly that gives MSV3.
>>
>>50369233
>The Uhlans also have them
Yea, and it's their Feuerbach, so not that different to the Panzerfausts on the Knights
>>
How OP would be Aquila if he had the Panzerfaust?
>>
>>50369644
It would be pretty bad. Not game breaking on its own, but being a little bitch on the reactive turn is a significant weakness of the Aquila, so fucking with that disturbs the balance. I'd be alright with the multi rifle getting a panzerfaust though.
>>
Any news about manga?
>>
What would be the best faction to play/collect for a newcomer? I am planning on getting into the game.
>>
>>50372010
Depends on which one you like the look of. Some factions are a little simpler than others, but the difference isn't all that significant.
>>
>>50372065
I am thinking between Nomads and Combine
>>
>>50372085
It depends what aesthetic you like more. I feel like CA has a more styles. Just hold off on any shasvasti since they are getting resculpts soon.
>>
I like Aleph and have the Posthumans box, where do I go from here? Did the rulebook with their rules come out yet?
>>
>>50373195
Nesaie Alke is cute, is she okay on tabletop?
>>
>>50369644
On the HMG it'd be very nasty; on the Multirifle I'd consider it a desirable change.
Unfortunatly, HMG sculpt has it while the Multirifle one doesn't.
>>
>>50373211
She's good in Steel Phalanx, not in vanilla though.
>>
>>50373233
Phalanx don't have Dasyus or Posthumans do they?

Guess they're out of the question for now.

>>50373195
You have ONLY the posthumans box? In that case I suggest you to get the starter box, support pack, rebot box and maybe the deva+devabots box. Also the new Garuda is nice if you like it.
If you want to avoid the greek units that's ok, but if you ever play an Asura (you should) at least consider taking the Myrmidon officer with CoC and smoke grenades, she's worth it.

The rules for posthumans are in the Human Sphere N3 book, you can download it for free on the CB site or just look into the wiki, it has everything

That won;t be biased or anything. If you posted it in all the generals, then you'd jsut get a popularity contest.
>>
Besides USARF and the Tohaa, which faction or sectorial has the most complete line of new-looking models?
>>
>>50373443
Onyx probably, since the're the other 300 point box release, IS you can do most things newer, SAA should be mostly good looking too.
>>
>>50373318
This doesn't accomplish anything, only an estimate of how many fanboys of those games who dwell in this Mauritanian goat-herding forum bothered enough to click on your link and vote.
>>
>>50373443
Onyx Force. It's only really doc worm and the shasvastii that aren't new, and even then Noctifers look pretty modern.

>>50373479
The old SAA look good but they don't look new. They're smol
>>
>>50373443
Also Yu Jing, this past year has been very generous with them and they got a whole lot of very nice resculpts, just stay away from the Japanese.
>>
>>50373438
Well I have a Dasyus hacker too. But it isn't much no.
>>
>>50373573
The Dasyu hacker is good too, but overshadowed by the Proxy mk2 hacker that is superior in almost every way. Good news is, you can use the model as a Posthuman just fine so no problem here. Also there's a new box of Posthumans coming out sometimes next month with very nice units inside, grab it when possible.

Btw you made the right choice starting with Vedic ALEPH, good taste buddy
>>
>>50373443
Honestly, Acontecimento Shock Army.
Regulars - All updated (4 sculpts)
Bagh-Mari - All updated and gorgeous (5 sculpts including character)
Akal Commandos - all updated (3 sculpts)
Singh (new enough)
Teucer
Scylla+Drakios
Montessa Knight (new sculpt)
all drones are up to date.
Tikbalang
Nagas (solid, mid-age sculpts)


The only things with old sculpts are:
Doc+Engineer (same for entire faction)
Guarda de Assaulto (old sculpt)

And that's it.
>>
>>50373635
They look like an army of Motoko Kusanagis and I get to paint a bit of pink for once. Easy choice.
>>
>>50373683
>Bagh-Mari - All updated and gorgeous (5 sculpts including character)
There's a new HMG BM and I missed it?
>>
Are modifiers ever added to the number rolled on the dice's face? I think I read somewhere that if an attribute goes over 20, the overflow is added to the die, for instance.
>>
>>50373730
He means the 4 man box + Rao.
>>
>>50373872
That's it. Mods are always applied to determine target number before rolling. If the number is over 20, you add the overflow.
>>
>>50373872
That's pretty much the only instance where a modifier is applied to the dice result.

Defiant Truth, Marauders, Kauri Sentinels, Bashi Bazouk, and Fraacta are November releases

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ABwQEHih7Bk
>>
>>50374419
I like the kauri, chaksa and symbiobeasts better than the Tohaa themselves in terms of design. Peripheral sectorial when?
>>
New thread?
>>
>>50374475
No.
>>
What are dire foes besides "here's two miniatures you won't use and one you might not use either"?
>>
>>50374419
>Still no Ariadna
>>
>>50374517
They have something like two USARF releases left that are announced to be done by April next year and the Caledonia resculpts which are for next year as well. None has been previewed yet, so yeah, no mo' ariadna for a while.
>>
>>50374419
>another Fraacta
Lovely, more Sygmaa is always appreciated. Model-wise, I mean. Haven't actually used them on the table.
That said, where the hell is the HMG Maakrep? Huh, CB? And don't you dare give us some stupid Hacker Maakrep nobody will ever use!

>>50374489
Mini-versions of two-player boxes, basically.
One mini you really want, one mini you will trade away and one mini to gather dust.
Though. many of the latter can be used for other minis. The HAZMAT girl makes for a nice TAG pilot, Angus is a good fusilier and the CEO looks exactly like the limited Corporate Security Unit.

>where the hell is the HMG Maakrep? Huh, CB? And don't you dare give us some stupid Hacker Maakrep nobody will ever use!
CB releases the profiles nobody will use first so people will buy them to proxy with, then the profiles people want so they have to replace those proxies with them. That way, they sell the same thing twice to the same customer for each copy of the profile in the player's list.

>Implying any real Ariadna player gives a shit about them
>>
>>50374517
>Still no Ariadna
>Marauders
>oh hey, it's Ariadna
And yes, the yanks count as Ariadna. There's still pre-HSN3 USA shit that isn't sculpted, so it's not surprising that they're trying to get some of it done.

>>50374489
Split the box if one character isn't your faction, use the civilian as an HVT. You will probably use the one that's part of your faction, since the only dire foes that aren't amazing are Bipandra and possibly McGregor.
>>
>>50374622
Noice stick, mang.
>>
>>50374622
>no true scotsman...
>>
>>50374622
True words. Why can't CB make new chasserues and finaly a true kazak sectorial. Kazaks have more models then some sectorials. yet CB seems to hate all its Russian and polish players.
>>
>>50374657
They have confirmed that with some exceptions, resculpts are based on sales. So, convince everyone to never buy chasseurs. Kazak is coming with the next set of sectorials And will just be better USARF for maximum buyer's remorse.
>>
>>50374657
Also on the other hand they are wasting release slots with making combined army no one plays, at least nomad players are happy with new models. But as popular as they are not everyone plays them .
>>
>>50374601
That's what they should do, from a scummy businessman standpoint. But CB don't a lot of the time, it's fucking weird. They should have put the multi rifle Hsien in Red Veil and brought out the HMG later, but they didn't. They should have released the Nisse hacker never, but they released it after the HMG so not even people who didn't want the starter would buy it to proxy.

Fucking Puerto Ricans, can't even scam us right.
>>
>>50374681
how can you not buy 2 chasies. they+specnaz are the core of ariadna.
>>
>>50374601
True, but that said. They havent released any new maakreps after the starter box mini.
>>
>>50374700
Well, keep buying them and enjoy your 25mm ancient sculpt
>>
>>50374419
Nothing for either PanO or Nomads? I guess it can happen.
>>
>>50374721
Nomads gets starters next month. PanO just had Acontecimiento. Which, despite being hot garbage, is technically a release.
>>
>>50374573
>HMG Maakrep
They probably plan to make it male, so they're putting it off because they don't want to have to design a whole new model that doesn't have tits.
>>
>>50374751
>>50374751
>>50374751

>>50374688
HMG Hsien is in a starter box. Meaning, if you want that very popular Hsien option for ISS, you'll have to by 5 other models you dont need to get it.

They should have made the Hsien MR a female or at least give a Tinbot friend.

It's like the Foxtrot FO being the most valued SK in USAriadna, but it's only in the starter. Same with Chasseur with Rifle, the only TO OS, only a single Grunt HFT in the SWC Box, etc etc

>Nisses
Dont know what's going with them. At least the Hacker looks nicer than the HMG mini.

>>50374721
It's very likely the new Bakunin Starter is next month
>>
>>50373443
So I started Vanilla Haqqislam due to red veil and I was rather surprised that after getting everything I want and to past three hundred points, everything except the Fiday was a CAD model.
