Any info if those stats are missions only or for keeps? I don't think they would preview new Druze models without updating them, but profile wide Fatality 1, jeez.
>>
Are the Druze rules actually sectorial rules or are they just for Outrage?
>>
Does anyone know if/when new Sectorials will be released? Particularly looking at Tunguska and Vedic?

Also Icestorm or Red Veil? Why?
>>
>>55021139
If you're completely ambivalent about the miniatures Red Veil. It's newer so the terrain is better. It's got a more diverse set of care buildings and the starter missions are better designed for newbs.

Also the forces themselves are better considering you get a Flaccid Al (p gud boy), and everything else you'd really want if you were starting either faction.

In Icestorm you get the Nomad Healer who is average tier, grenzer who is meh, brigada is ok but it's nothing you really need. Pano gives you a orc which is like a joke.
>>
>>55021139
"Soon". But a set date is not given.

Red Veil, simply because Yu Jing is my faction and I like the little terrain bridges. They're both about equal though, so pick the factions you like more.
>>
>>55021073
What do you mean?
Druze are in Quapu Khali is there another list for them?
>>55021139
Supposidly not untill mid next year, though they might do a similiar thing to Usariadna.
Which faction speaks more to you? Or are you asking which works better as a 2-player kit?
>>
>>55021256
See last thread. Seems like a list for Outrage missions rather than wholly new sectorial. Paradiso had similiar kind of list for "Ariadna" acting as the Aurora security detail for the prologue missions.
>>
>>55021056
Remember Fatality L1 is just +1 damage to BS weapons, which is cool but not fucked up crazy like L2.

>>55021073
Outrage for now, but this might be a beta test for their upgrade (and IIRC we've seen new box renders at Gencon, featuring HMG and marksman rifle)
>>
I'm guessing the Druze profiles are something they are working on for White Stars, but not something that is ready yet.
>>
Seems there's also a new specialist operative loadout for Bashis. 16 points, rifle+light shotgun.

Are Nomads TAGs any good? Specifically Szalamandras? If the art is anything like the model the new one should be awesome looking.

>>55023597
It's pretty standard, but solid. All the usual TAG tactics apply. It's harder to hack than most which is nice, and burst 5 is always fun.

As for the other ones, Lizzy is just worse Szally unless you plan on using the HGL, Iggy is a great disposable killy dude, and Geckos are essentially fat HI.

Every Nomad Tag is playable. Sally is actually their big hitter. Its their most expensive tag and has no real fancy tricks. Just a brutal gun and loads of armor.

If youve never run a tag before, it can be a power trip exactly how strong they are. Tags are horrifyingly strong in exchange for their cost. They can be beaten but they will chew up supposed badasses pne after the other.

Hey Infinity General!
What is your favorite unit from a themes/lore perspective? Favorites for me include the Yu Jing Domaru, Morat Diplomats, and The Avatar.
But my favorites are these guys and gals.

>It will take more than automatic gunfire to end me. I am Mbeli, the guardian spirit. In the storm and in the night… I protect my people.
>>
>>55023940
Just remember not to let it get to your head. If your opponent knows what they're doing your TAG can and will go down like a sack of shit if you don't protect it. Head back to a safe spot at the end of your active turn and make outranging/flanking as difficult as possible. TAGs are unique in that if they appear in the list, they are the list. Everything else just exists to support them.

>>55024099
For me the Hassassin Ayyar takes the cake for the best blend of Fluff, Looks, and In-game performance.

The Tiger Soldier's a close second.

I like the background theme/design of Uberfallkommandos moreso than the actual models and in-game performance. Pretty out there.

I also like Aragoto, Ghazi Muttawi'ah, and Yuan Yuan in fluff and background terms, although I have some trouble actually pronouncing the last one correctly. I just generally have a liking for aggressive people.

Brigada is a bit basic and his only Lt profile is the MR+Light Ft. It's not a bad profile, but in generic Nomads he's certainly outshined by his S5 companions in the killing game and by hackers in being Lt and specialist. I mean

Why do you completely ignore the fact that there are objectives that care about highest point value specialists?

Why do you have no respect for a specialist that is capable of taking a bullet like a champ? Mobile Brigada can not only take an objective, but also secure it himself
>>
>>55027078
>Brigada is a bit basic

Basic, sure, but to say "has nothing you really need" is a complete lie.
>>
>>55021009

>Shikami

Goddamn that is a sexy motherfucker
>>
>>55027189
Because there's better specialists available? You're better off spending points on Zeroes and FO remotes and let Brigada do the fighting, instead of being a mediocre hacker and fighter at the same time.
MB hacker is for Corregidor only.
>>
>>55027295


> instead of being a mediocre hacker and fighter at the same time

You are severely underestimating the power of utility. And a Combi Rifle is plenty strong to kill people in this game.

>Mobile Brigada hacker is good in Corregidor

Why are we even arguing? You agree with me.
>>
>>55027295

>Because there's better specialists available?

Um, Riot Grrl is the only other Nomad HI specialist. What are you talking about?

>>55026934
Only when the competition is as fierce as it is in PanO. They're okay linked in sectorials, but solo in vanilla it's generally worth an upgrade to something else unless you specifically need a 2 wound HMG at that price point.
>>
>>55019262

So one of the big things is that the first scenario is *very* order intensive and requires anti-materiel weaponry; I think CA would have the advantage in that scenario due to getting 3 free unidrons with K1 combis and Nourkias.

The last scenario gives the advantage to the non-CA player, I think, as a Tik is dramatically better than a plasma sniper Overdron.

IMHO if you can make an Aleph list with plenty of orders and anti-materiel I say play that, try to be the Combined Army player round 1 and PanO round 3.
>>
>>55030351
I'd say that at that price point Yu Jing got it worse with Shang Ji, Zuong and Wu ming. ORCs worst competition at that price point is Hospitaler, which has frenzy. At 50+ there are many interesting options, but few do things that ORC are usually taken significantly better. So hardly a first choice or second, but still an option.

So anons, I'm pretty new to the game, and a buddy of mine is interested in getting into it. What do you guys think is the simplest army he can get, the one that requires the least amount of forethought/strategic thinking but can still be a threat on the table?
>>
>>55030514

PanO. Just get a Swiss Guard HMG, move forward, and roll dice. Instant win.
>>
>>55030351

What competition? All the guys with similar stats at the same price and kits have Frenzy.
>>
>>55030514
It depends more on what excact troops he chooses, but PanO is generally pretty straightforward. Not that direct tactics are neccessarily much less complex, because you still have to take your opponents capabilities in accord when choosing the approach.

>>55030507
Teucer is superhumanly strong, unlike those chumps.
>>
>>55030514

Oof, that's going to be a rough one. Chances are he's going to want a TAG army but in general there aren't a lot of simple armies in this game.

Morats tend to be pretty straightforward with all of their units but he's probably going to want to read on Fireteam rules.

Ariadna tends to play stealthy and clever, if you just try to overpower your opponent as Ariadna you will die hard.

Pan-O is the main straightforward faction, despite having hackers or engineers, because they are just strong and sturdy. Ariadna depends heavily on clever tricks, Pan-O depends on understanding how to leverage your good units effectively.

I know nomads are not straight forward, but I figured if he could put a couple light TAG's out he could have fun tanking tons of shots while not being overwhelmed with the more intense aspects of the game. I worry that with Morats and the like the fireteam rules may confuse him a bit.

There's no reason to take a HI specialist when you have so many fast and durable specialists at your disposal. Arguably Custodier is harder to kill than MB because of ODD and ability to drop White Noise or Cybermask. And then you have a ton of guys like Zero, Morans, Tomcats, Bandits etc. Nomads are not PanO or Morats, they don't need to rely on durable HI specialists to get to the objectives.
>>
>>55033930
>arguably

Thanks for admitting that its a subject for debate. Utility is a very strong thing and there are a shitton of options for every kind of player and whatever whacky list they want to run.

Infinity is a game where "optimal" seems to be in increments of 5-10%. That seems pretty negligible in pro play and a complete non-factor in casual play. I see no reason to try and shut down this very amazing and unique aspect to Infinity.

That's just stats really (aside from wounds which function differently and BTS which is extremely cheap for the numbers you rack up). Abilities and weapons are what really makes the difference. Being able to do things that other units can't do, vomit out more attack dice and put in your favour the bonuses/penalties that can easily turn BS14 into BS5 are a thousand times more important than any 5% increase to ARM.

Brigada hackers are alright though. Not the best around, but not something to dismiss out of hand either. ODD is grand but Custodiers are slow, and having multiple wounds is special because it has very few counters aside from brute force. I can clear infiltrators the fuck out of the midfield with direct templates, sensors, MSV, mines and shotguns, but HI tend to be a lot more troublesome to remove, even basic ones like MBs.
>>
>>55035193

Agreed. They have a very respectable power to them that can't be dismissed with "but LI options..."
>>

While we can all agree, mobile brigade bring a lot of firepower and are hard to take down, you can get two zeroes hackers for the price of a mobile Brigada hacker. Not saying MB is bad, but it's understandable why some people don't prefer the mobile Brigada

Ariadna's hat is literally that they are the worst straight up fight faction in the game.

The APHMG is a famous weapon because it comes on a tankhunter, a unit with camo that can be used alongside other camo markers to play a bluffing game where it becomes unclear if a camo marker is an ambush, mine, foxtrot, chaseur, or a basic low points decoy stealthy guy.

The Ariadnan Tankhunter HMG profile also has a BS of 12, an armor of 3, and a move of 4-2. This means if you try to cheerlead it like you were playing a Pan-O and just sweep the board using it, it will die to reaction fire from a 9 point unit after killing maybe 20 points and 0 SWC of models and cant move fast enough to press in on a week flank to win you the game.

Each of these camo markers has a different place in the Ariadnan force and has a different ideal unit to check it. No Ariadna unit exists to just win the game by advancing up the board using "superior" firepower. Most Ariadnan units have a BS of 11 or 12, and an armor in the 0-1 range. Their most expensive unit is around 40 points. Their basic weapons are rifles. Not combi rifles. Not AP rifles. Not T2 rifles. Rifles.

They aren't figuratively the best faction at advancing and holding the board through superior force. They are LITERALLY the worst faction in the game at this.

You can't even count on using your cheap units to cheerlead. Your most elite units are some odd 40 points and they are elite because they have special bullshit rules that encourage you to not use them, or they tend to do poorly in face to face which is the exact quality you don't want in your Rambo. The closest it gets is Roger Van Zant who exists to crumble a flank through surprise airdrop and will die to any player smart enough to protect their rear against him. So unlike most factions Ariadna needs to use its cheap line and garrison troops to accomplish something because just having them generate orders isn't actually useful to the faction.
>>
>>55036668

>Most Ariadnan units have an armor in the 0-1 range.

USARF says hi.
>>
>>55036668
Ariadna has 7 units with APHMG and six with Molotoks to boot.
>>
>>55036668
Tankhunter ain't shit. The Vet Kazak is the massive outlier that singlehandedly defines direct Ariadna tactics. Shock immunity plus NWI means it effectively has 2 wounds, and with BS13 and mimetism it can sweep the board fairly effectively. It's no Hac Tao, but it's a very respectable rambo that should not be underestimated.
>>
>>55036668
This sounds more like bitter bias than objective reasoning. Plus USARF as a sectorial is literally about fighting face to face with some pretty good links to do so.

That game will also be my first time using a hacker, so I'm reading into the programs my Zerat can use.
Am I seeing things wrong or are most CLAW programs just doing Immobilized 1?
>>
>>55037403
There are indeed many variants of that, but some of the other effect include TAG possession, Forwar observing and isolation. The last can especially mess your opponent. Remember, that morats themselves are immune to isolation.
>>
>>55037441
I don't think my opponent will field any TAG's (hopefully) but I'll see if I can get some isolation going on in there. Hacking area is 8'' right?
>>
>>55037403
Yup. Lots of redundancy with hacking programs. Many are just worse versions of other programs.

Assault hacking devices have 3 programs of relevance (4 with the CA special brew).

>Carbonite
This one is your mainstay. Has by far the best chance to immobilize most targets. Can be used offensively before an attack to make it so the target can't defend itself, or defensively to force the foe to waste orders resetting.

>Oblivion
Greater risk, greater reward. Far less likely to succeed than Carbonite, but with far greater consequences. This one is largely defensive since it's burst 1, don't spend your own orders on it. Isolation cuts off the target from its order pool permanently, and it must be repaired by an engineer to reverse that. So rather useless against a TR bot, but fantastic against a big HI with an HMG.
Note that it doesn't work against units with the Veteran skill, which for your purposes are Al Fasid and all Morats.

>Total Control
Only useful against TAGs, but real useful against TAGs. Succeed and you gain control of the thing (with reduced stats) until the opponent takes it back by either counter-possessing it or using Exorcism. Forcing their enemy to shoot their own stuff is always a fun time.

>Stop!
CA special brew. More likely to immobilize than Carbonite against native BTS9 or higher.
>>
>>55037557
+ the ZoC of repeaters. Just don't try to overdo it. I've lost some games after I tried to hack something and wasted far too many orders. Treat is more as a deterrent, the enemy usually doesn't want to bring hackable targets to your hacking area during his active turn.
>>
>>55037674
You forgot Spotlight, which lets you done some of the Classified objectives.
>>
>>55037723
I've got three Forward observer unidrons in my list, so I've put that in brackets anyway.

>>55037674
Roger that.
>>
>>55037674
Also I'd say those factions without access to Stop! might want to use Basilisk occasionally for that two turn effect.
>>
>>55037747
Unidrons can't FO trough walls and Zerat start further on a table. Usually not the first choice, but it's nice to have the option.
>>
>>55037749
Eh, the 2 turn thing is very niche unless you plan on just hitting someone with it on your active turn and then leaving them alone until it's over. That could get you a wasted order or two, but you might as well just hang out in their ZoC and Carbonite them later in most cases.
>>
>>55037811
What if your opponent uses some of his last orders in something you can hack, hmm?
>>
>>55038030
Then you carbonite it for the greater chance to make him piss away those orders. Active turn immobilizing is only really worthwhile immediately before you hit the victim with a missile launcher or HMG, otherwise you need to be very careful not to give them consequence-free reset AROs while you move around.

Anadonda is the TAG that Raicho and Uhlan think about to make themselves feel better. It's a dumpster fire of a unit that is only made worse by the lack of hacking support provided by Ariadna.

More mercs would be great though. AVA2 Druze, Valerya Gromoz (that pitcher would matter a whole lot more in MRRF than in Corregidor), maybe even a Cateran.
>>
>>55038953
>thinking Uhlan is bad
It's actually quite popular, probably because PanO with links is godlike, but NCA doesn't get Cutter. It's a TAG with Camo and MULTI HMG as well as PanO's only Feuerbach, what's not to like?
Although the fact that it's packed with Tikbalang probably helps.

>>55023597
The only TAG I would take in Vanilla Nomads (excluding Scarface, but he doesn't count) is the Szally. The Lizard is only a couple points cheaper with a crappier gun (Burst 4v5 might not seem like a huge difference, but that means if you're using it in a co-ordinated order as spearhead then it still gets Burst 3 as opposed to a Lizard's 2). It's pilot is also a Killer Hacker, which means it can do objectives a lot better than the Lizard's pilot.

The Iguana is even more laughable- only 2 Structure, it does get a 2W HI instead of a pilot, but it's substandard on basically every front. It does get a Repeater, but it's crap otherwise. Geckos are basically HI, but compared to Scarface they're obviously not that great.

If you're a new player, I would recommend avoiding TAGs entirely. Taking a pair of (minelayer) Zeroes, a Bandit, and a few Morlocks is almost always a better choice in points for noobs.

Also be sure to check its point cost.
>>
>>55038978
It only has a regular HMG, no MULTI to be found. If it had a MULTI HMG it would be fantastic.

Feuerbach is not that great on the unit and drives up the cost massively. Using it on the active turn isn't a good idea except in niche situations against other TAGs since it's only burst 2, and any TAG left out to make long range AROs on the reactive turn is going to die against a competent foe, camo or no camo.

Usually I find NCA players stick to Swiss or Aquila. Seen an Uhlan in action a couple of times and it was basically a faster but otherwise less useful version of the former. Squalo is bland but at least has the MULTI HMG and ARM8, plus it can be LT to grab an extra order or blow people up from across the board with the HGL option.

Maybe comparing it to Raicho wasn't fair. It's not quite that bad, and camo is still a fairly dangerous gimmick compared to none at all.

>>55039031
What's the appeal? I don't see it. It's a bog standard spitfire on what is essentially a fat HI frame, like a more expensive Gecko that sucks up valuable SWC and transforms into a tiny trash form after taking a couple of hits.

>>55039250
Iggy, however, I will defend to the fucking death. He's a disposable boy who takes 4 shots to kill and is generally a shit to deal with thanks to that repeater. Don't worry about him surviving, because he won't. But if you use him well he can easily sow enough chaos to be a worthwhile investment. He's not just 20 points cheaper than other TAGs, because aside from those hackers you were taking anyway he doesn't have support costs.
>>
>>55039384
36/2 for a 4-2 HI that can't pass through anything less than a Wide Gate (having to stop and spend another order to do so), and has a '''second''' wound where almost all his stats across the board get reduced doesn't sound like something to be proud of anon.

You have to take the rest of the MRRF into context when looking at the Anaconda; which is to say that just about everything they have (aside from Duroc, arguably) is even squishier than the rest of Ariadna. The Anaconda isn't 'tough', it's just 'tougher' than everything else in the list by virtue of high ARM and two wounds. The Spitfire, while bog-standard, is also something that's not normally available in the list.

For hacking defense, just take an Alguacile, Wardriver, or (while they're still on the army builder) one or more members of ALIVE.

How do I know which kits are out of scale? Yu Jing specifically
>>
>>55039384
He's a worse Veteran Kazak that gets seen and shot at more easily. After the first wound, he has the same armor and BTS too. You jelly USAriadna babbies? All hail the Rodina!
>>
>>55039562
all hail. although to be honest am a little bit confused right now.
>>
>>55039509
If it's not immediately obvious to you:

Look at the box/blister and compare with this list
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B957zKbO1rsvUkpxU0ZmeG1LTUU

>Is the model a TAG?
If yes, anything younger than the O-Yoroi's age
If no, anything roughly past Operation Icestorm.

For Yu Jing HI, the most obvious detail is the back of the leg is segmented differently. From the Raiden Spitfire and Sun Tze BSG onwards it's in the 3D sculpting range
>>
>>55039428
to be fair I play tohaa, so I appreciate losing stats on my 2nd wound in exchange for being insultingly cheap.
>>
>>55039509
Everything from Raiden HRL and on (release by chronological order) is CAD sculpted so generally in scale.

Exceptions: O-yoroi is also in scale because TAG. Even though the Kohei and Yaozaos in the JSA Support pack are hand sculpted, they're in the current N3 scale

>>55039640
Blackjacks don't cost many points, but they also cost 2 SWC, which means that having more than one of them would actually severely hurt your list rather than help it.
>>
>>55039667
Just like everything in Ariadna, what's your point?
>>
>>55036668
>Ariadna's hat is literally that they are the worst straight up fight faction in the game.

Ariadnas hat is that they have really big guns on cheap platforms and can absolutely dominate their active phase with high burst while in reactive they have the numbers and camo to soak hits (or in USARFs case, just have an absurd amount of high ARM around)
>>
>>55039670
why would I want more than 1 in USARF when I have so many good, spammable options?

I like the blackjack just because it might help me get below 15 guys.
>>
>>55039683
because shooting a 1W arm 1 model with viral is like hitting a daisy with a baseball bat, completely unnecessary and you don't really lose much in the process.
>>
>>55039711
I'm just saying that it falls into that category where the line between 'just enough' and 'way too much' (in terms of cost) is super fine. You can have one, and make a balanced list with perhaps one or two less regular SWC options, or you can have two of them and shoot yourself in the foot. Those are your options with Blackjacks.
>>
>>55039463
Alguacil/Wardriver isn't really enough in most cases, the only way to properly defend TAGs from hackers is to be proactive. ALIVE seems like it would help. Never seen them in MRRF specifically, but Cypher and Switch are a downright disgusting combo no matter the faction.

Overall the Anaconda strikes me as an army completely unsuited to being tough doing a shitty job at being tough. There are link teams and airborne troops that excel at taking ground and various sneaky fucks that excel at holding it, the TAG isn't necessary.

That aside, I'd still very much like to see Ana get that AP spitfire and faster movement, as well as something like Druze to get proper hacking support in the sectorial. Could really give it a second wind.

>>55039670
Sniper is only 1 SWC. That's the one I'd be more open to taking in vanilla, since it's just generally tough and has nasty weapons for all ranges. There are better attack units around, but a cheap real HI to hold ground is something unique to the BJ.

So take 1, you hardly need them for their heavy weapons platform in USARF, of all sectorals.

Noob here, are the HVT models just optional fancy objective markers? What about the TAG pilot models?
>>
>>55040476
>HVT
Yes. They're fancy models for some scenarios that require a human person who doesn't do combat.

Pilots are real fighting models though. They can do objectives, and some like the Gecko pilot are capable fighters in their own right.
>>
>>55040476
TAG pilots can get out of their TAGs and fuck you up even if, by some stroke of luck, you disable their angry murdermechs. Just look at Lizard and Szalamandra pilots.
>>
>>55039562
>10 points cheaper than vet kazak
>>
>>55040476
It's nice to have a civilian model in case you wind up with 3 spare points and can throw a Warcor into the list just to be an annoying body in the way. When you do that,replace the HVT with a token.

Is Teucer any good?

When to use Marksmanship levelx?
>>
>>55038129
>use carbonite
>enemy active turn end after the order
>IMM-1 is no longer

Yeah, ""great"" plan.
>>
>>55039379
>tfw Taskamsters are the tiny release

Even the HVT is taller
>>
>>55039428
He can go prone to pass smaller gates. But he's really not your doorkicker.
>>
>>55043846
It's the heavyweight attribute preventing it, not silhouette.
>>
>>55036147
What city?
>>
>>55043254
Ehh...
Teucer has basically two things
1. It's only Agema, that has NWI
2. It's only Msv2 option in Acontecimento

The first point does matter in SP, as vanilla has Devas with higher burst, but slightly lover range or damage output. I'd consider Free agent being bigger boon, Marksmanship lvl X is statistically only better to regular shooting when odds are so low you'd better not shoot anyway. You could also use it to raise your BS ridiculously high and attain better Crit chances.

But I rarely field him in my SP, usually ML Agema is my token Msv2 unit, sometimes I splurge on Atalanta
>>
>>55044063
Welp. But as I said, unless you have some really wacky terrain (like indoor lab complexes and what not), he's pretty unlikely to suffer from that.
>>
>>55044137
>indoor lab complexes
A lab complex with a shedload of destructible terrain would actually be pretty interesting to try and run large models about in. Relying on D-charges and shit to get your heavy hitters into areas.
>>
>>55044094
I've been enjoying my MK12 Agema. Being able to supressive fire has been pretty useful due to the love of warbands in my meta.
>>
>>55040476
Pretty much. I've seen people use their own objective markers (like little banners/flags). A pilot would be find if your army list doesnt have the tag
>>
>>55044246
That is definitely good choice as well.
>>
>>55045024
Yeah its a pretty nice weapon. Cant crack a tag like the missile or MSR, but its low SWC and reliable at most ranges.

Am considering the missile though for smoke shooting HI and TAGs.
>>
>>55031495

Looks like ablative armour. He's fucking invincible, sort of thing.
>>
Any Haqq player want to share some examples of horde lists? I'm trying to get a better grasp of the faction.
>>
Hey guys, so I don't have any idea what I'm doing, but I've bought enough infinity miniatures for cool factor to end up getting into the game. I want to paint them, but I'm mainly using them for stuff other than infinity. How acceptable are variant color schemes for use in the wargame, and is there some sort of color or style guide? I've got almost entirely PanO minis
>>
>>55046056

100% acceptable, and arguably, one of the major fluff fuck ups at the moment is the near total absence of suggested alternative schemes. Like, Warmachine level bad.

But nobody's going to give you shit about it at a tournament, and as a rule, most armies are all over the place colour wise. Some are by the book, but I'd say most aren't.
>>
>>55046210
Cool, thanks for the advice. I didn't want to paint them in a "cool" color scheme only to be run out of a game or something, glad that won't happen
>>
>>55046210

Have you looked at the sourcebooks? They enumerate a number of different color schemes for each faction or sectorial.
>>
>>55046210
>every faction has multiple color schemes in the book, sometimes for several sectorials
>near total absence of suggested alternative schemes
It's not their fault you're too lazy to look, anon.
inb4 waah book not free

>>55039250
>The Iguana is even more laughable- only 2 Structure, it does get a 2W HI instead of a pilot, but it's substandard on basically every front. It does get a Repeater, but it's crap otherwise. Geckos are basically HI, but compared to Scarface they're obviously not that great.

I beg your pardon?

Iguana, as my concern, are cheap enought to be considered a threat. Even with STR 2, invunerability to bio-related rounds and their fastness are scoring point for my Nomad friends. And Repeaters are surprisingly nasty tactics, considering Nomads can easily throwing HDs around.

And Geckos are basically sturdier HI with Duo. Fucking 3 STR is a pain in the ass, and they're as cheap as S5 HIs minus the 4-2 crap. Their bigger stature aren't really concerning when my local Dog Warriors are suffer worse.

Never underestimate both m8000, it already cost my Yu Jing friends alot of victory by 'laughting' at it. I recommend Geckos for beginners since they're easier to kitted out.
>>
>>55046349
I'm not mad it isn't pirateable here, but I am surprised.
>>
Stupid question, I know, but this just caused a fight in my LGS and I'd like to subcontract out for other opinions.

An enemy HI enters the radius of a Repeater. The Repeater is controlled by a player who has 3 hackers in their list. Can all three hackers ARO through the one Repeater simultaneously, or can only a single hacker act at one time through a single Repeater (requiring 2 Repeaters to generate 2 AROs against the offending HI)?

looking back on this I might switch out one of the doctors for a regular ghulam so the LT isn't so obvious
>>
>>55046644

All three hackers can ARO simultaneously.
>>
>>55046644
All hackers can aro, as a model has spent an order in the hacking area of all three of them. If they declare a reset it'll be face to face vs all hacking attacks.
>>
>>55046644
That HI is in for a world of hurt. Same idea as if you activate in LoF of 3 models for ARO.
>>
>>55046742
>>55046768
>>55046785

Fuck. I don't know how I got the idea of "one Repeater to one Hacker". I owe some folks an apology.

Thanks.
>>
>>55046647
>>55046695
Could you give me a rundown on what you use each unit for? I appreciate it.
>>
>>55047319
I use the ghulam as well rounded units to generally kill people with guns and doctor/hack when necessary, the gazi muttawi'ah throw smokes for the djanbazan sniper and pretty much just kill LI with chain rifles and screw over HI/TAGS with jammers, bashi are there to flank and generally be a nuisance while killing people, warcor is there for a 3 point flash pulse ARO, up to your opponent if he wants to waste an order killing it or risk all his useful units getting blinded.

And Daylami are for the complete disrespect of human life, give them panzerfausts so even if you whiff the roll to infiltrate them you still have 5 dudes you don't care about who have explosive round AROs to blow.
>>
