Slowly spreading the world of Allah , one color at a time. Its my first time working with the green pallet, also how do you do a camo patern on vehicles? Im guessing my TAG will be needing one.

Taskmaster is another of those models that I know are super useful units, but I just don't like the look of. Up there with Jaguars, Iguana and Auxilia. At least the latter will be easily proxied with Spec Sergeants when they come out.

Here's some advice from my grandmother
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NF5XU-k2Vk

>>50463581
Alguaciles make great Jag proxies. And Iggy looks great, you shut your whore mouth.

>>50463798
I've got an Uberfallkommando box despite never playing Bakunin, so I have good Jag proxies on hand.

>>50463581
You have such weird tastes in models I don't even know what to say.

>>50464219
I'm not really a fan of S5 HI and Taskmaster looks more like a Morat than something from Nomads.
Similarly Auxilia don't look "PanO" to me. Also they're older sculpts with ugly rifles and janky poses.
Jags look exactly like they're supposed to, but I guess I just don't like Nomads with exposed heads very much. I tend not to field Algauciles either, I usually go for a Wildcat link instead. Jaguars are super useful, but in the end they're just ugly Mexican dudes. Although they're the ones who sell the "ex-cons" theme. I've got mixed feelings about them.
Iguana is just all over the place. I hate the tail and the "cockpit". I like the Operator model much more than the TAG itself. I'm not really into mecha though, aside from Geckos and Tikbalang I don't like any TAGs.

>Infinity Story time
Firs tournament for noobs 250 pts. 3 battles. Won two. Top table playing for first place vs store owners boyfriend. Both objectives taken. both have a myrmidon link on it. Store owner comes over and asks how we are doing. Boyfriend is in dire situation has to take both objectives or am wining. I can firmly see the new atalanta in my hands. store owners goes all "let me help you" and goes back to counter.
the boyfriend starts puting a green bandana on, and the sound system starts to plast pillar man theme song. Three ghazi get coordinated. I open with everything I have. If it was d&d I would be god. But it is infinity so my two links fail to kill two out of three ghazi. They nuke my dudes. I have my wtf is going on face on. Store owner comes over and asks for a pic for the local club. So out of tune I ok it. Durning the pic taking my ass gets groped. now I don't know if I want to play infinity anymore.

>>50464391
Also post the pic taking thing, the store owner comes to me and asks me why such a long face, I say I so wanted to win the coupon for the Atalanta. the store owner gives me one anyway, on top of the price for being second.

I am kind of scared, my interaction with the female gender is limited to women in my family and my doctor. Plus she is like twice as old as her boyfriend, and he is more then a few years older then me. She is realy old, almost 30 probably. l know my dad and mom used to RPG with her when they were at school.

Was surprised to see no alternate profiles for the Defiant Truth Dire Foes. The majority of direfoes seems to have two profiles per character, but I guess it isn't unprecedented. But hey, the profiles were placed reasonably on time and HB now can field a full Ghulam core so good on them.

>>50464723
You do realize you're making yourself sound, like, 15 right? 30 is not "really old".

Okay so Ambush Camouflage is just to psych my enemy out right? And probably should be used in conjunction with mines and shit? Is there a way for me to lay mines during deployment as Ariadna? Can my units set off my own mines?

>>50464833
Yes. Yes, but not necessarily. The Minelayer special skill (available to Chasseurs). No, friendly units (and impersonators of friendly units) do not trigger mines, and mines cannot be triggered if there is a friendly unit in between the enemy in the range and the mine.

>>50464891
Okay, one more question, forward observers can target units for others to fire without line of site; does this mean I could have a unit fire through a fucking building at a targeted unit or are there limitations? Also, how's this for a guerilla mine layer list? I know it isn't the greatest but at 150 it seems a bit difficult. 150 is because I'll be playing against friends who are most likely only using starter sets.

It's old enough to make them alien, if you're not long an adult yourself. I'm not unfamiliar with the attitude. They're more like elders than peers, in way.
>>50464723
Don't worry about them, they're not that different. Just deal with things as they come and you'll built up some perspective before long.

>>50464951
> does this mean I could have a unit fire through a fucking building
No. Targeted grants +3 to hit, but the unit you're targeting still gets ARO (because you need LoF to target it). After being targeted, unless you're using Guided weapons, the target still gets ARO, because you still need LoF to fire on it.

Only Guided weapons can fire upon targeted weapons out of Line of Fire (note that Guided weapons do not receive the +3 from Targeted state, as it does not stack with the +6 it already gets).

The primary reason to take a forward observer is:
1) a FO is a cheap specialist troop, which allows it to interact with objectives in ITS missions.
2) the flash pulse is a decent ARO option on units with WIP 13 or higher.

>>50463581
Look, I don't like Jaguars much either, but they look pretty much how they should look.
On the other hand, Taskmasters are lovely, Iguana is flat-out the best-looking Nomad TAG and Auxilia look spot-on PanO design-wise, but are let down by shit-awful poses.

So, I traded some models for a complete tohaa lot, minus the just released/unreleased models. What is a good list to learn how the models work?

>>50465046
Alright cool, I thought that sounded a bit too ridiculous to work. Thanks for helping me figure this stuff out, I appreciate it.

>>50464951
As for your list, do note that the starter sets are in no way balanced against each other, even if some of them have similar points values.

Some thoughts:
1) It's fairly obvious your Lt is one of the two non-FO Line Kazaks, as it's the only profile in your list that can be a Lt, so be careful where you deploy him.
2) Chaussers are good, though the adhesive launcher's quite useful if you want to swap one of the minelayers out.
3) T2 rifle, BS 13 with mimetism's pretty solid, but you've already got a Spetsnaz sniper rifle and while that's solid, a HMG would be really useful in the active turn.
4) if you want to go hard down the guerilla camo + being really annoying route, drop the volunteer and pick up a D.E.P. Metro. It's not as good as a Daylami, but it does roughly the same trick.

>>50465159
How would I go about balancing them? I think I'm getting a PanOceania starter, a Yu Jing starter, or a Nomad Bakunin starter next. Let's say I'm able to spend around $60. Probably buying off Gamenerdz as literally no store near me stocks Infinity.
Also thanks for the advice on my list, I'll probably do basically everything you said. I just got into the game and am still learning myself, while trying to convince my friends to play with me. Basically all my free time is being spent reading up and shit. Can't convince others to play if I don't know enough about it myself.

>>50465276
>How would I go about balancing them?
Post lists here and see how that goes. Let's see:
- Pan-O starter is a solid 126 points and 1.5 SWC. The ORC's not a very efficient use of points in vanilla, though you can proxy him as a swiss guard or the like. Add an Auxila (it's a 'problem' unit that other factions need to learn to deal with anyway).
- the Yu Jing starter is quite outdated. Not only are Zhanshi not exactly great choices, the Shang Ji is due for a serious profile and model upgrade in the near future, and the Celestial Guard is not very useful on its own in this composition (other than to be a Lt with its higher WP). It's also 116 points with 0 SWC, so it's terribly balanced against the Pan O list.
- The Bakunin starter is also quite old. The Sin Eater and moderator are fine, but the Moira's not a particularly outstanding unit (especially in proper games, where you'll see a proliferation of MSV2 or direct-template weaponry).

I'd probably hold off on the YJ and Bakunin starter sets. That being said, get something you like.

>>50465365
Haha well I especially like the Bakunin subfaction but I have read it is quite difficult to use effectively. I'll probably just go PanOceania then, I don't dislike them at least. I like the Military Orders subfaction, is that a decent starter or no?

>>50465381

>>50465046
Other thing of note. "If a trooper in the Targeted state is chosen as the target of Speculative Fire, then the -6 MOD usually applied to that type of Attack is ignored. However, the +3 MOD is still applied."

Not really an exception, just a different instance to what you said.

>>50465401
>I especially like the Bakunin
Bakunin is quite popular. Riot Grrls links are quite powerful (they are strong HI, and get a points discount for Frenzy, but being in a link covers that), they get catgirl doctors, and the new taskmasters are pretty sweet. Chimeras and Morlocks are also good cannon fodder.

Pan-O's a fairly good beginner faction, as they typically don't have a huge number of wacky special rules and the units are fairly self reliable and tough. Military Orders is a bit wonky. Keep in mind that melee is often a very distant second option; MO is still Pan-O, and they're the best at shooting.

Do REM, TAG, Bikes get additional -3/-6 to the roll made from ADH special ammunition?

>>50465401
I personally started with Vanilla ALEPH (aka Vedict) and took Bakunin Sectorial as a second option for games. Now I mostly play with the Bakunin. Can't really say if they are difficult to use... Infinity is a game where you have lots of options to choose from and lots of approaches to take. Our locals here just picked something they thought was cool and stuck with it. We have had a lot of fun games.

I do have to note though that I havn't taken part in tournaments lately and couldn't care less about tournament meta. The only few times I've actually had bad experiences with Infinity was 3 years ago in a tournament where the organiser didn't do his job and there were illegal lists in the tournament but that has been the single negative thing I've encountered. Still it was enough to make me not want to take part in tournaments. We do play campaigns and some ITS scenarios but I've not taken part in grander tournaments.

So if someone is giving you some meta advice, think first if you want to go into the tournament scene. That is where it might matter but most likely won't.

Mna, glad I don't play Ariadna, otherwise I'd be pretty sad that I didn't get the vastly superior GenCon version.

>>50465480
>>50465608
Awesome, Bakunin it is. Thanks for the advice. And I know melee isn't the greatest idea in this game but I can't help but think it's funny to think about having a buncha crusaders running around with swords while everyone else is being sane and using guns (for the most part). I'd love to figure out a fun way to use Miyamoto Mushashi.

>>50465671
Getting to field Carlos himself is a nice consolation prize.

>>50465671
I still find it odd that there are rules for a billion different, often miniscule things in Infinity, but ballistic shields? Nope, can't have that.

>>50466008
I guess it's represented by the extra armor.

>>50466008
What would it be? A bonus to ARM against frontal attacks? Front-only nanoscreen that can't be roasted?

>>50465366
I don't see the resemblance.

>>50466131
Same jaw/nose. Mouth and cheeks are as close as the mask and size allows.

>>50466128
>front-only nanoscreen
Actually, that sounds really nice.

>>50465671
I'm glad I paid the extra shipping for the Gencon version. At least both RVZs were pretty good.

>>50466008
LI implies armor 1, so, the shield gives +3 arm and mimetism. Effectively stacking cover.

So if I use an adhesive launcher on someone, block any other line of site from other enemies with a smoke, then I can have another unit move up and place a d-charge on them, move out of the area, and detonate it? How practical is this? How many orders is that?

>>50467364
If you can shoot the asshole with an adhesive launcher, you can probably shoot him with a D.E.P or panzerfaust or missile launcher or autocannon and just spend one order doing the whole explosive damage thing.

>>50467435
Yeah, I guess so. I just thought it'd be funny.

I have no idea what this game is. I don't know the rules. I don't know what's good. I don't know what any of the terminology means.

I want to play Motoko Kusanagi & Tachkomas. What faction do I pick? What models should I buy that will let me get an entry point to the game with that theme? Preferably female hero + robots. But if I need to take a batou or something, sure.

>>50467844
>Tachikoma
Take your pick of the Out Of Print Maghariba Guard or the Pan Oceania Remotes. Whichever you deem closer.

>Batou

Bakunin Clockmaker

>Motoko Kusanagi

Harder, less of a direct analogue, although we do have a character named Kusanagi.

ALEPH has the whole human minds loaded into robot and clone bodies thing going on.

As for the raw consept of chicks being backed up by skittery robot dudes, pretty much every faction can do this (except Ariadna, chicks get backed up by big wolfmen there.)

>>50468192
Is there a faction that's most appropriate for chicks backed up by skittery robots / mechs?

What faction is most useful for chicks backed up by skittery robots?

>>50467844
Unfortunatly motoko kusanagi is in Aleph but Bato is obviously in nomads

>>50468299
You could just give Ajax the clockmaker head

>>50466263
>mask
You mean the bags under the eyes?
That's obviously part of the Bostria theme.

>>50468285
Pobably nomads, because they have both good bots and pretty even access to chicks with the units. Haqq has chicks, but few robots. Tohaa and Ariadna has pretty much no robots. PanO has good bots, but you'd have to cherry pick the girls. Yu Jing is also a decent option.

>>50464391
>playing steel phallus
>Not going full awaken my masters

Do you even pose, bro?

>>50468285
Nomads. They have great remotes and excellent female hackers to support them. Also Cassandra Kusanagi and Batou-like Clockmaker (whom you'd want in a remotes-heavy list).

>>50468299
There's also Moderator sniper.

Can someone give me a relatively cheap list for a Bakunin beginner?

>>50468647
Is it possible to play Nomads with a Hacker and just Rems/Tags? Or do I need units of infantry like 40k?

>>50468759
It's probably doable, though I don't know that it would be the best idea. Your lieutenant would be blatantly obvious, you'd be super low on specialists for objectives, and your options would be extremely limited.

That said, Infinity doesn't have any sort of mandatory force organization rules like 40K, so you can really run whatever crazy list you want. And you can probably win with it in the right circumstances/against the right opponents.

>>50468759
Most teams are somewhere between 10 and 15 dudes and you will want a few other units who can fill in some gaps that the remotes and hacker won't be able to. But, technically, yes. You can build a list of 9 remotes and a hacker.

Nomads have a ton of cool shit you can field, tho.

What are you guys using to Proxy/convert Shikami, Ayyar, Blackjacks, and Locusts? Care to show some conversions if you have it ITT?

>>50469814
I'd say for now go to the catalog and take a good look at the models, see if something catches your eye. I'd suggest you to start with the ALEPH starter box, the Posthuman or Deva box and the Rebot REM box, with these models you'll have more than enough girls and robots to go around and learn the ropes of the game. The Deva box is good too, take a look.

To field the remotes you'll need a hacker, and an engineer is very useful but not obligatory. The Asura in the starter box has a very competent hacker profile, and the posthuman box has a good engineer. As for remotes, rebots and dakinis are the cornerstone of the army, very dependable. Other REMs are still good but have a more specialized role.

If there are models you like take them, you'll find a way to make good use of them for sure; contrary to other popular wargames games, there are almost no useless units, everything can be successful if you know how to use it.

>>50469016

You see infinity is a game of finess and skill, things that will come in time as you play and learn the tricks of the trade. Some combos here, some there, knowing when to engage and when wait. A specialised list, consisting of robo waifus and lots of remotes is a what we call a Generic Aleph list that threw half of the good units from the army away for focusing on theme and well hacking I guess, thus robbing you of valuable tactical experiance.

But infinity has a way to keep these theme armies still highly competetive by allowing you to trade 2/3rds of your army for greater unit cohesion that results in increasing the strenght and mobility of a group of particulary weak and unimportant units by letting them form fireteams. These are called sectorial armies.

Aleph has only one at the moment called STEEL PHALANX or steel phallus as many people dislike the particulary nasty tactics of this army and its technologically superior ancient greece themed infantry.

Unfortunatly there is no sectorial army for the Hindu-Babylonian sector where all of the cold fuck-toasters and other synthetic prostitutes reside.

So along your infinity experiance you will start feeling the need to field some myrmidons or other greek units to pull off some easy to use stratagems and tactics and then you will feel the need to just push trough the enemy with a fireteam and go full STEEL PHALLUS

Well, I guess that is everything. Be sure to download infinity army app, get some d20, use marbles or just print order tokens and play a lot. If you want to play it safe you can drop one box of rebots. Your deva and naga that you get in the starter can fill the role of one remote or even the sophotec in the support pack. Infinity doesn't support buying multiple boxes.

Yeah it's pretty much everything you might need for now, but really man I think you're running too much, maybe you should play some matches with just the starter pack to familiarize with the rules and most importantly make sure you actually like this game.

is there ever a reason to run two Kosuil Assault Pioneers? I can absolutely see running two Sukeul Commandos but not so much with the kosuil

>>50475540
I've used the K1 as more an aggressive unit that can push buttons and the panzerfaust one as a dedicated button masher.

Not that it was any different than running up the table with a Sukeul or Rasail, but I like both models so I wanted to use them.

>>50475534
No.

>>50474084
I dont think it is a language thing, more of a cultur one. Am not english and not spanish/latino and those are supper funny. Achiles more or less acts like an avarge father agd 35+, who seen/fought in the civil war.

>>50473290
remember netrods can't switch groups, if your posthumans get killed you find yourself with a 3-order group without ways to use those orders. I'd put the dasyu MSR alone in group 2, you won't give his presence away thanks to hidden deployment and he can operate well without orders, then you can switch him in group 1 if there's a casualty.

>>50473290

Question Time

What is the cheesiest list you have ever played for you favorite army? Does matter if you won or lost.

If isolated units produce an irregular order and can't use orders from the order pool specifically, irregular orders are not part of the order pool; does that mean that isolated units can still act with their irregular order?

>>50482434
>cheesiest
This isn't 40k. There are no autowin lists or units.

>>50482505
Ghazis and full cammo lists are pretty cheezy beezy.

>>50482505
No, not auto win. For instance, I don't have the full list with me but I have played with a I believe 16 order PanO list with with only 2 non remotes... And ended up playing against nomads. It was a surprising shorter game than I thought it would be

>>50482434

Why shouldn't we be able to possess remotes (REM) with a special program? TAGs feel underwhelming when trying to possess them and they're not fielded as often. Is there something too OP about it?

>>50482505
Cheesy doesn't mean autowin. Pretending to be retarded stopped being funny ages ago.

>>50482603
Remotes are 50 times more useful than TAGs. It would be pretty broken to take over an actually useful unit.

God, what a stupid game. I moved to a new area, and for some reason Antares was really popular in my FLGS. The main warcor-equivalent at the store explained to me that he liked the game because no matter what, a new player always stood a chance against a more skilled player. He told me that player skill didn't really matter, but luck was the biggest factor.
On top of that, there are the models. I've never seen such shit sculpts; even the primordial days of GW turned out turds better than this, because at least old GW had flavor going for it. These are just bland.
Luckily, the game died out within a couple of weeks once people had bought all of the sculpts available for their faction. Then the players moved on to either AoS or whatever other new indie game was in style that month.

To be fair, the local warcor was saying that exact same bullshit about infinity here.

I think I felt something pop in my brain. Like, nigger, what the fuck are you saying? That the game is random? That there are no tactics involved in the game? Fuck, that has to be the most unappealing argument for a game ever. Every game has it's retards.

I don't like Antares, but dang if there is a lot of neat things he could've talked about instead of going "It's so random and plain, even a monkey could win!"

Okay so I posted this before but didn't get a response. Anyone have a decent, not too expensive starter list for Bakunin? Let's say 200 points.

Given you want to start with a sectorial, I guess you'll be fine with "advanced" rules so you might as well include a hacker, which lets you field a good remote for decent board control too.
Upgrade a Mod to a Forward observer if you want or something for that last point.

Otherwise, I suggest to play around with Army 6 until you get something you like.

>>50486119

Thanks for telling me that I should stay the fuck away from Antares. I knew it was designed by an ex-GW employee and clearly it shows.

>>50486119
See that's weird, 'cause as far as I know Antares is basically sci-fi Bolt Action. Now Bolt Action isn't the most complex rules set, but the morale and order systems make for a tactical and far from random game.
Maybe he was just trying to reel in newbies with thoughts of easy victory?

Back on Infinity, I picked up the old Su Jian before it becomes impossible to find. I'm planning on picking up the new Su Jian when I have the money and running a duo, because why the fuck not.

I feel like my SWC is a little concentrated. But I really, really want to mow dudes down with emotionless cyborg superassholes.

What bothers me the most about CB is how they seem obsessed with releasing new sectorials, with all the new units this effort will bring, when they are not even done with filling out at least one miniature for each profile they have.

I guess this is why the game has been around since 2005 and they have never had all profiles covered ever.

Do you think it'll be sufficiently annoying for my friends?

>>50487992
The Vanguards and Soggy are good.
The Oznat goes well with a Hungries link and can be proxied as a Zerat otherwise.
The Raktorak... Well, I'd say it's probably slightly less awful than the shotgun profile, and you can proxy it as something else when you're not taking Suryats.

If a unit has a special haris and a haris profile, does the special haris need to include the haris profile or is that profile only for making regular harises?

>>50488761
You need someone with the haris skill in a haris team. The special link description doesn't give them the skill, it's just there to explain.

>>50488811
Various units have special fireteams without having the fireteam rule, tho. Feels inconsistent.

>>50488837
Yeah it's pretty inconsistent. But think about it: would CB intend for you not to need the special profile because you filled out a Suryat haris with a Raktorak, or a Mormaer haris with a Grey?

>>50489016
It would make sense, the special fireteam rule would replace the regular fireteam rule.

Also, i'm not sure I get if there is a point to tinbots from a game design perspective. They hand out regular skills and they don't seem to do anything that would make it different from the figure just having the skill.

>>50487168

As a bolt action player let me sum up bolt action for you.

Shoot till you whither the opponent is either dead or flees or you have the option to rush into melee and hope you win the roll off otherwise your whole squad fucking dies.

Sure you have other tactical options and there's other shit you can do but all in all it's a pretty simple system.

>>50489084
Tinbots are comms equipment, so they can be hacked with blackout or disabled by E/M. The deflector ones are completely redundant though, since deflector already has the comms equipment trait. And they really only exist so CB has an excuse to make more tiny robots.

>>50490233
>Aggressive sukeul triad with a support triad with CoC kealtar and msv2 sniper gao-rael.

Recon limits you to 1 link of 3 men regardless of sectorial.

Also limits you to only 2 Symbiont units max cause of the multiwound restriction.

I'd build my list around a Rasail LT with symbiomate (and thus, CoC) going on a rampage with a viral combi personally.

What are some tips for painting tron lines and other 'energized' pieces of armor? I'm thinking specifically of painting the hexagonal armor like you would see on a Mobile Brigada or Taskmaster as if it were 'energized' or 'glowing', but I want to be able to apply similar looks to other areas on my figures as well.

>>50489180
>>50487168


Bolt action is more about getting pins to suppress units. If you are doing things right you are forcing units to not activate so you can grab territory.

Most of the time squads just get degraded not killed. So you end up suppressing enough units to punch a hole through to grab objectives.

It is very simple to learn game, but not lacking . Lot of fun, but very different from infinity

WIP anyone?

Haven't been able to do all that much because I started my move into an apartment with some friends. But Guijia-chan is nearly done, and I've started sketching out her opponent now

>>50492053
Just my suggestion: Keep your paints thin so you don't lose/ruin the details like the panel lines. Once you've finished painting the armor, use a very thinned down (ink consistency) "glow" color and dab it into the panel lines with a fine brush. If it's thinned down enough it should run down those lines. It may be harder with those tiny hexes. But that's generally how I've done it.

Other alternative is to paint them in first, and then paint the rest of the armor around it.

>>50487637
Well, you've got 11 orders, so you'll find yourself dumping a random Netrod in group two. Generally - you've covered the important bases, but using all 3 proxies, netrods supporting your main order pool, and an obvious Lt means that your list has a lot of soft targets. Also, healers without Yudbots are way nerfed - you spend too many orders just getting to the right spot. If all you want is an objective grabber, there are more efficient ones about.

I'd suggest dropping a proxy, downgrading one Myrm to designated smoke+chain goof, and maybe losing the Sophotecht if you can't afford helper bots. Use the points to buy a combat ready specalist and maybe a second-group Zayin to protect your backline.

What is a local warcor?

http://infinitythegame.com/warcors.php

Plasma rifle or HMG on a Q-drone? Burst is king, I know, but Plasma ammo is deadly and the two modes are nice to have. And the saved point would allow me to upgrade one other guy to a FO.

>>50495145
They have different roles. You can drop the HMG somewhere with a nice view and dare someone to walk into its firelane, while the plasma rifle is more aggressively focused with its shorter range. Just slap some supportware on the bitch and hunt people down in the midfield. Just remember to leave it in a place where it can't be outranged.

Usually I go for the HMG, you can find other close range doorkickers but quality area denial can be harder to find for such a low price.

>>50495247
I don't play CA, but why do I see so few of those TR drones? Between Mimetism, HMG/Plasma and fairly low cost they seem pretty good to me.

>>50495437
I've seen the Q-drone in every CA list I've ever faced. I don't know what you're talking about.

>>50495437
Your meta, I guess. I use them heaps and every CA player I've met loves them. They're by far the best TR bot in the game, the crude creations of dirty humans can't compare.

I want some Dog Warriors because they look cool as hell but they just don't seem worth using. And they're expensive, talking real money. Should I just grab an Antipode Assault Pack? Or something else?

Are tags ever not useless? They seem like such shit.

>>50495680
Some TAGs are good. I have seen the Marut work very well (even at the highest level of play) and there are a few others I occasionally see mentioned here as being good.

Depends what faction you are playing. Some factions have TAGs worth taking in ITS, some don't.

>>50495708
I was thinking of playing Nomads or Tohaa

>>50492981
I agree on the "shit" part. Redraw in non-retarded pose.

>>50495727
Yeah, not the best choices if you want to run a TAG in ITS competitively.

Never seen the Tohaa TAG run and the Nomad TAGs aren't really good enough to make the cut as far as I am aware.

If TAGs are important to you play PanO. Otherwise, Nomads or Tohaa are fine, just don't hope to get great value and performance out of their stompy robots.

Melee if used right is a good "chess-block". Timed correctly you can stall out an important model so long as it too is not a cc expert. My cousin did it with a Fiday to my Iggy. Took a bunch of orders to shake it off while he set up securing objectives.

>>50495727
>Nomads
Geckos recently got buffed a bit so they're not as bad as they were, but they're still not super competitive. Don't think of them as TAGs, but rather as very heavy infantry.
Iggy is good. He's the one TAG you don't always need an engineer for, because he's made to die hard and take a bunch of people with him. Cheaper than most TAGs too, so easier to fit into a list as a generally killy dude.
Lizard is like the Szalamandra, but less so. HGL is the only reason to consider, TAGs do some good speculative fire with that high BS. Usually Szally is the better option.
Szalamandra is incredibly shooty. Burst 5 MULTI weapons are not to be fucked with. She's not Cutter-tier or anything, but worth considering if you need a huge and angry beatstick for near-guaranteed kills on anything. BTS9 makes her hard to hack too.

Gorgos is... ehhhh... alright. Extremely vulnerable to fire, but otherwise passable. It used to be utter shit before the buffs. Really you'd still be better off with the stronger points of Tohaa like Clipsos and the 2 wound "light infantry" though.

>>50483525
They think Bulleteers and Peacemaker make them unique. kek

So which faction's got da most dakka?

On the second day of Christmas Corvus Belli gave to me:

Two hacking gloves and a cartridge for my combi.

>>50495979
PanO. Bigger guns and better shooting than anyone else.

Well I've always admired how Bakunin could do this with 46 points to spare, which is enough for two chimeras.

>Don't listen to the assholes
I agree, listen to the spines instead.

>go on the RPG KS comments
>it's a giant bitchfit about how long it's taking
It's like the comments on every Black Mesa update multiplied by a million, or the bitching over Exalted 3e or Palladium's Robotech wargame.

>>50496236
Most of the patient people don't comment on KS unless something important happens. They have no reason to. If you take the comments to represent everyone, every kickstarter is a complete fucking travesty and the horrible betrayal and atrocities of [insert developer here] against backers can only be forgiven through ritual suicide of the entire team.

It's especially prevalent for games.

>>50496426

>dropping Netrod in group two
Don't do this. Netrod is equipment, not a model, so you won't be able to bring it over to first group once you start facing casualties. Here the best option would simply be placing the Naga sniper in group 2 to work as an ARO piece.

>>50495680
They have their roles. I've had success with the Overdron as well as the Sphinx for example, but both of them have very different play styles. Overdron likes to chill with his Unidron bros and works entirely from afar - the big guy is purely a long range weapons platform. Meanwhile Sphynx goes rambo on sambo and absolutely fucks Poland tier lists because cheerleaders can't do much against two heavy flamethrowers on a TO TAG with their t-shirt armor saves. I've also tried Avatar, but until that thing gets a new model, I'm not that keen on dumping half of my points in one model.

Haven't faced all that many TAGs, mostly because ITS before TAGLINE didn't really favor them. With the rumoured changes to TAG pilots, they may actually become quite frequent.

>>50496798
Only time I faced an Overdron was how I scared it off by outshooting it with my Haramaki ML in my reactive turn. Did two wounds before it decided to hide, unfortunately, right next to where I infiltrated Kitsune who would later surprise slice it six ways until Sunday in my active turn. Opponent said it was the first time he'd seen it die. Overall though I still think it's decent.

>>50495729

How about you contribute something kid?

Go back to Ariadna.

Would using Croc-men as Naga proxies in ASA be acceptable fluff wise?

So what's your favorite model that doesn't have a sculpt yet?

>>50497655
The only valid answer.

agreed. Ayyar is seriously sexy.
Get a move on CB.

>>50496998
Overdron is absolutely terrible against anything at all in CC, since he has no CC weapons, not even a taser. What does a model even do in close combat with no weapons aside from hoping to dodge away?

>>50497655
Shikami, no question. I want my flying jumping magical gun ninjas with oni masks.

>>50497879
Barehanded. Any unit without a listed melee weapon automatically has that. Imposes a -3 on the PH if I remember right, but for TAGs they still get a hefty punch.

>>50497917
PH-2 for damage.

>>50497917
Oh, right. CC is such a rarity, but CC without a single weapon is some kind of a vernal equinox event. Even the goddamn AI beacons have a taser on them. Now I'll know that my Overdron can break backs with his bare hands.

>>50497948
>Even the goddamn AI beacons have a taser on them
Nope. No weapons and they are not troopers and therefore cannot ARO or declare orders.

>>50497879
Yeah, just in that game in particular it tried to snipe my Haramaki in Partial Cover and lost the F2F in two separate attempts.

When you minesweep AI beacons, when do the orders become yours? Next round?

>>50497356
>not appreciating the value of a brutal grappling match between HI

>>50498022
From the Minesweeper wiki page
>When an AI Beacon changes its ownership to that of the Minesweeper bearer, it joins the Combat Group of the bearer, and it also provides the Order. In the following Tactical Phases, that Order will be added to the Order Pool of the Combat Group of the Minesweeper bearer, but only when that Combat Group has less than ten members. Otherwise, the bearer cannot add it to his Combat Group or use that Order until it fulfills the Requirements of the AI Beacon piece of Equipment, checked in the Tactical Phase of his Turn.

>>50496798
God do I fucking hate the Sphinx. There you are looking at some TO token thinking - 'oh, Anathematics Lt and probably Ko Dali off the table'. But it's a Noctifer and from out of some rucksack underneath the table comes this fuckhuge shit. Runs directly over the biggest most comforting obstacle. Massacres your best unit in F2F and recamos standing smack bang in the middle of your shit.

I kind of loved the Caskuda. At least that was a gamble.

>>50497859
>>50497695
I hate the teases Corvus Belli are because it is like they know HI with exotic rules tickle my fancy a lot but they never release them.

Do any of you have all CAD armies? It seems unavoidable to not buy at least one old school model because of rules.

One thing about N3 - camo marker silhouette is no longer S2 by default. Anathematic and Sphinx sit under a 40mm TO marker.

>>50501556
Aren't S6 units mounted on 55mm bases?
Btw the rules is still there but only for deployable equipment like mines, who appear as S2 while camoed.

>>50501593
No, you're thinking of S4/S7/S8 units.

>>50500780
This is over all very much a 'Whatever...'-release for me.
>Bakunin Starter
Fairly nice. Can't really complain overall.
>Posthumans box
I guess? I don't like the Mk5 design, to be frank.

Good, if a little pointless.

Way worse than the GenCon one, and making him Bostria isn't that funny.

I've just been locking at the manga stuff again, and it struck me just how *boring* Uhahu's design is compared to the rest of the cast.
I've read that she was designed that way to be taken seriously, but if that is true somebody clearly missed the memo about the rest of the cast consisting of a werewolf, a stoic ninja, a girl that fucks robots, a grizzled veteran™ and a main character. Getting taken seriously is probably the last thing on anyone's mind here.

In the reactive turn when do you measure the range of your ZoC for purposes of Sixth Sense to delay your ARO? If you measure and its out, then it's a case of pre-measuring, no? Then you'd be left with some information for when the opponent declared the second short skill to choose which weapon or action you take if/when you do get shot.

So, if the active player moves but it seems like its iffy if it ends up within ZoC, do you measure it or not? I don't think I've seen a Warmachine like rule where you always know your Zone of Control.

>>50501485
What´s that? Some tool that helps optimize a list?

>>50501850
I like her cap and bubblegum chewing and she's the character I remember most (outside thinking it would be so great to have a ninja with a SMG and smoke grenades actually fieldable) so I think she's fine.

>>50501992
3-D sculpting in a computer, as opposed with traditional carving. The O-Yoroi was the first and most models now are CAD.

>>50501992
It just refers to new, computer sculpted figures as opposed to the older, handsculpted ones. Prime examples are Stephen Rao (CAD) and Kirpal Singh (sculpted by hand) for ASA/PanO.

Really, though, it's just generic military surplus clothes from some Yu Jing manlet brigade they never show in public because the Empire is obsessed with pushing the angle that all chinese are at least 6'5" hunks. Someone has to expose the truth.

So I wound up picking up a mini for this game, an Authorized Bounty Hunter with Boarding Shotgun, from a contest at my LGS. Is it worth anything, and if so which faction works with it best?

>>50503311
more like uhuhu hacker.

>>50503619
The Bounty Hunter is available for each major faction. The funny thins is that they roll for some of their equipment, so you have a 1 in 20 chance of a biker or smoke grenades.
Common way to play them is to put them on sniper duty due to their cheap sniper rifles. So PanO or Yu Jing can really benefit from one if you're lacking Special Weapon Cost for a proper dedicated sniper.

>>50503742
>so you have a 1 in 20 chance of a biker or smoke grenades.
Would you need a special model for the bike, though? I only have the one.
> their cheap sniper rifles
Also, the one I have specifically says Weapon: Boarding Shotgun. Can he have a rifle anyway?

The Sniper Rifle one was a prize for ITS 2014 season, and thus is extremely limited.
Infinity community is pretty relaxed with proxies. However you have no guarantee of getting a bike with a Bounty Hunter.
Personally I am converting mine to stand on an ammo box and have put a Lizard Pilot on the bike. It's not glued yet. I'm still not sure if I want to cut into the gun to convert it to a sniper rifle or maybe put one on her somewhere.

>>50503759
One more thing: I was mistaken about her availability. Bounty Hunters are available in all basic human factions (PanO, YJ, Ariadna, Nomads, Haqqislam) and also Yu Jing Imperial Service, which is like a Chinese Judge Dredd faction.

And new thread >>50505564

>>50505567
But this hasn't reached the bump limit, image limit, nor page ten yet. WTF?

Playing Operation Icestorm as Nomads is painful. Combi Rifles only, and lower combat stats overall compared to PanOceania.

>>50507224
I don't think it's meant to be super balanced, otherwise there wouldn't be two HI on just one side. Likewise Red Veil kind of favors Haqqislam until the Hsien shows up and tips the balance.

>>50507224
The grenzer has a sniper rifle doesn't he?

>>50508492
I think he's referring to the first mission.

Since I had the actual core book, I kind of cheated and brought in Multi-Rifles for the HI.

>>50507224
Definitely, they're not balanced against each other. Icestorm doesn't play to the Nomads' advantages at all.

>>50506020
Wait, what is /tg/ bump limit?

>>50509996
310

So we should probably drag that other thread out of limbo since we'll need it fairly soon.
