I haven't played infinity in 10 years but at the time it was completely unbalanced and broken. Anyone not playing the Chinese faction and spamming heavy machine guns literally could do nothing against such lists.
>>98279873This seems extremely unlikely. The game often is broken, but I can't remember when "Yu Jing HMGs" was ever broken.
>>98279864> no subjectWhy do you bake if you're so incompetent?
>>98279889Hmgs use to be deathrays in general and some of the best options to load up on in their time, but today that feels like it isn't the end all be all. I recall YuJing being super good but never oppressive and or unbeatable.
>>98280216i failed the wip roll, despite 14 wip
>>98280308Yeah, HMGs were king of weapons in like second edition, but I can't recall YuJing being their primary users. Sounds like local meta issues.
>>98280369I concur. Not that original anon btw.
>>98280318Anon, your statsheet says you have 12 wip.
>>98280704Oh, yeah. I was looking at my PH by accident.
>>98280945Basic bitch.
>>98280308Did they change the range bands or was it just a lack of alternative weapons/change in how save rolls worked/introduction of special dice?
>>98281445Yes. HMGs had a much better rangebands, and crits autowounding meant that burst was undisputed king. Plus you could get that super-HMG on anything, from line infantry to basic AD troops.>
if it's called infinity how come I can see it
>>98281442I don't NEED HMG with THESE guns! *kisses bicep*
>>98281514Because with Allah everything is possible.
>>98281491Burst is still the undisputed king but you do want AP on your attack gun if you can get it. And a lot of stuff rolls an extra dice and just picks the best now, which has to mathematically be almost as good as just rolling the extra dice.
'Saka JSA.
>>98281656Nice job with the freehand anon.
More like inFAGnity
>>98282341But enough about your weekend!
>>98283709>LE mercenary character>only works for 5 armiesFor what purpose?
>>98283709Ah yes, the destroyer of phone apps.
>>98283709They really need to put a Rebecca in the game.
>>98284017>works for OSSS>doesn't work for Steel Phalanxwhich is weird because they hire regular Sacha's
>>98283709>>98284017Why would I take her? Seems mid.
>>98285842Because she's cute
>>98285842She would obviously be way better if she was a hacker but she's OK. STR 2 for 19 points, no guns but a good suite of ways to annoy people, immune to E/M and Carbonite, Booty can get you some fun stuff, shame she doesn't have a reroll. Dodges on 15s, 6-2 move, C+ and total terrain is decent movement.It's like a personal pick. I like this unit so I will use her. She's not bad. I think it's worse when characters are so good they are auto-picks honestly. Like I think most of the Optimates are fine because they have really strong profiles but they're usually also very expensive and/or have slightly odd kits. But then you look at Pilot X and it's just like, oh ok there is absolutely no reason not to run this in any faction which can.
>>98285880She has an infected alien biotech pussy anon.
>>98285923Just take your vaccinations and nothing will happen.
>>98285942>yeah so the narrative for this game is my special forces ultra black ops supersoldier team are raiding you to steal an experimental VoodooTech condom so they can fuck ruby monday without getting alien stds
>>98286908I'd believe itGotta keep the black ops skills sharp until the war with the Combined Army fires up again somehow
What's the lewdest female mini? Is it this?
Would it be dumb to run Machaon with two Yudbots so he can have his own personal team to give him extra Burst on his CC?
>>98288389Yudbots are peripherals that can't link so yes I'd have to say that would be dumb.>>98287999The O-Yoroi pilot is superior. The Lizard pilot has a fatter ass.
>>98288452>Yudbots are peripherals that can't link so yes I'd have to say that would be dumb.Peripherals still count for CC Against Multiple Opponents.
>>98288452>>98287999The old caledonian volunteer.
>>98285906>I think it's worse when characters are so good they are auto-picks honestlyYeah I completely agree on that point. I just couldn't see her use much myself. I'm not disliking her but she seems niche (and that's a good thing)
>>98288610Yeah that's what I was thinkingHe can now Doctor himself out of NWI, which is neat, he has Smoke grenades and the standard Myrmidon CC suiteI don't think it would be great, but definitely fun to play with friends
>>98288389>>98289594>we have Uberfallcommando at home
>>98285906Ah, big brat energy. I like annoying units and I play both Shinden and Kestrel; bought'd.
>>98290217Just don't blame me if she doesn't perform! She doesn't have her own smoke or anything!
>>98290310Oh, she does perform on my painting shelf
>>98290310>don't blame meNo promises.
>>98290916OC PAINT SCHEMEDO NOT STEARU
When I first saw the new Aleph action pack I thought it was weird that there was only one Thorakite. Now I see you get the other two in the starter set. Always wanted to collect Steel Phalanx. I kinda like the old action pack lineup too. Now I'm not sure which one I'd pick up.
>>98285906>immune to E/MWhy is she immune to E/M?
I heard there's a nice starter campaign in the Mazebreaker set. Looking forward to getting my hands on it.
>>98287999Spacemonkey tomboy tummy
>>98291142> two arjunas> only one kiran bot (also labeled as an arjuna)?????
>>98292731I don't think the top left Arjuna is even a Boarding Shotgun model anyway
>>98292047God they fucked the Morats so hard with the update
>>98292947They had to, people were turning into furries by thousands!
>>98292947yes they turned them into shitty notOrcs
>>98293280Orcs?
>>98292947Every day I thank EI I was able to nab all of N3 and lower morals despite hopping on the game right at the tail end of N3
>>98293389>and lower moralsConsider my moral lowered, you lucky faggot.
>>98292731Warsenal fucked that up, it appears like three times. Woops all boarding shotguns!
>>98291713No one here getting this? Sandtrap had crazy hype behind it by comparison.
>>98294759kek
>>98294522Both japanese and PanO are posterboy factions.
>>98293371Heh
>>98294889Damn, he's right. It was a slam dunk.
>>98294522JSA always sells well.
>>98291713Holy shit, I was not expecting that jumpscare. Carlos!!
>>98295034JSA are genuinely a really fun faction now where they were just a kind of halfassed YJ sectorial for much of their previous existence.
>>98291713It seems pretty cool, I might pick it up.I really, really like this model. I should probably actually do some proper research into Infinity instead of just getting random models I like
I stole this from leddit, but what if next JSA faction is just like shut it, Arasaka evil corpo themed time
RED AND BLACK RED AND BLACK
>>98296905The shukra is a perfectly fine unit, nothing crazy, excellent Lt. profile but probably powercrept by some of the optimized Lt. options that have emerged in other factions since.I agree the model is killer though. Absolutely mods the boarding shotgun version.
>>98297736
>>98297033>>98297243Wait, there's non-Arasaka JSA?
>>98299076Yes, there's UMBRELLA flavored JSA now. The live on the DUNC world.
>>98299150I'm actually really surprised we haven't got some explicit DUNC reference minis in Infinity.
>>98299150>>98300192VGH...
>>98300545nice NCA troops bro
>>98300192>surprised we haven't got some explicit DUNC referenceHonestly Planet Shinju would be a great backdrop for a narrative campaign. I really hope that we get to go back there and flesh it out further. Also DUNC DEEZ NUTZ.
>>98301376Is Shinju atmosphere toxic or too thin or something else? Every troop from here seems to be wearing those breathing masks but not all of them have covered entire face (still, I would rather have cute female faces without gasmasks).
Dumb question, but how many factions are there? On the corvus belli store it implies there's 10, but a video I saw recently had like 45 different factions.What's with the discrepancy?
>>98302516>Is Shinju atmosphere toxic or too thin or something else?Yes. Thin-ish atmosphere full of dust and leftovers from some sort of planet-wide NBC war.>>98302572>What's with the discrepancy?Subfactions under the 10 main ones.
>>98302655Can you use multiple subfactions in the same list of the same main faction?
>>98302659Only if their units exist in the main faction's army list.
>>98302659There's vanilla faction lists and sectorials. In the past Vanilla lists used to have almost all units(bar some special profiles), but in the latest edition the unit availability in vanilla list was cut down heavily. They got less gimped in fireteam options in return. But if you merely like the looks of certain units, the proxy rules are pretty forgiving. Just make sure it's clear what counts as what, and don't have, say, ten fusiliers with different levels of assembly count as five different units based on how many arms they have.
>>98302655>Thin-ish atmosphere full of dust and leftovers from some sort of planet-wide NBC war.Japanese could try to steal something better than barely habitable planet. Unless it's rich in minerals or something like that.
>>98302572Factions can have sub-factions called Sectorials. Originally the "main" faction army had access to all of their units and sectorials took a much narrower roster of lore-linked units (e.g. all hailing from one planet or from one department) in exchange for some special benefits like taking more of a unit or getting access to fireteams. For example, there's the PanOceana faction, which covers a hypercorporation with presence on multiple planets (Varuna, NeoTerra, Svarlheim, etc.); the main PanO army can use any PanO unit, and each of those planets gets their own sectorial made up of only their own units.However, after multiple generations of the game, the faction's main rosters were getting too bloated and now sectorials have a bunch of units that are exclusive to them and the main faction army can't use. There's still a lot of overlap though, so like a vanilla PanO list can still run the NeoTerran Bolts and Blockers and Aquila Guards in their list, but they can't necessarily run other NeoTerra units like Hexa or Uhlans; in return, they can mix those select NeoTerran units with, say, Varunan Helots and Svarlheimen Nokken.
>>98293389Yeah dude they absolutely butchered the faction. Not helped by the literal McDonald's colourscheme. The basic Morat solider or whatever is like twice as wide and looks perfectly fine, but every robot or elite trooper or heavy infantry is such a fucking downgrade.
>>98287999I was looking at Military Order minis and this popped up. Is this a Military Orders model?
>>98304306Military Orders are a sectorial (subfaction) of PanOceania. The Tech-Bee is a PanOceanian engineer that appears in multiple factions. MO can field her.
>>98304320I know nothing of this game or factions. There a website that explains the factions?
>>98304441What are the most popular factions? Is PanOceania one of them?
>>98304441There should be but it looks like nobody thought to fix the links on the main English website of the game to make that work.There's the old 1d4chan summaries, but they will be somewhat out of date now: https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Infinity_(wargame)Or for a brief runthrough of the setting history (also a little outdated): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5GFC4VU8lk
>>98304479I honestly have no idea how overall faction popularity breaks down but it wouldn't surprise me if PanOceania (usually just called PanO) is the most popular faction overall. They've had plenty of box set releases, they were traditionally a very straightforward faction and their signature strength for most of the early editions of the game was that they were the absolute best at actually shooting things, which is ultimately what most games of Infinity come down to.They are still the best at actually shooting things but they've gotten more complex and interesting as a faction by now.There are a lot of hoops and steps to get there, but you can basically think of PanO as the successor to the modern, first world West within Infinity's sci-fi setting. They are 1 of 2 total and probably the premier hyperpower: controlling multiple planets, having the most advanced tech, the most resources, the position the US has occupied over most of the past century IRL. The Military Orders are the militarized arm of a revitalized Catholic church, which is a significant political power within that whole.
>>98303134It's rich in wacky alien technology.>>98302572>it implies there are 10Technically one of those 10 is not really a main faction in and of itself. NA2 doesn't have a vanilla list because it's actually the Mercenaries faction. Its sectorials are created by taking units from two or three other factions and gluing them together with mercs, while the closest thing it has to vanilla is the optional ability to add Merc units to any other vanilla army (good luck finding somebody who'll let you use that).
>>98304441There's a wiki at human-sphere.com.Also you could just look at the army builder at infinityuniverse.com/army/infinity. Click a main faction icon and you'll pick from that faction's main/vanilla force or one of their sectorials.
This is also fine as like a 2-3 sentence primer for each faction, if you can handle a le meme youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khba_br2PoA
Wtf, did they remove Zaytham from Hashashin Bahram or am I just tripping?
>>98307656*Haytham, the flying bike thingie
>>98307656>>98307659It might have been removed in the Mazebreaker update. I've no idea if it was there before.
>>98307656>>98308859The Mazebreaker Army Update post they made doesn't mention anything about it
>>98310579>doesn't mention anything about itIt's not like CB is known for making good changelogs.
NO MEROVE NO PLAYyou fucked up big time CB!
>>98312227Que?
VGH...NOW THOSE WERE THE LINE TROOPERS...
I have a feeling they'd make sandtrap and jsa vs pano essentials be a thing just a bit longer before separating them ?
>>98316108Not really sure what you mean. Like double packs? They've always changed up the factions in box sets pretty regularly.
New Aristeia game, wonder if any of these new characters make it into Infinity:https://youtu.be/0FvcZ3L4AKs?is=MWXaPo6DRpVz1Lxr
>>98316884Look how they massacred my Gata girl ;_;I honestly would like to know why each and every single new versions of female characters have less and less sexy shapes.
>>98316914You know why.
>>98316914It is really funny that the comic book art is showing a bunch of skin and then they have posed the actual model in the same outfit to show the absolute minimum possible skin.
Like>cute tomboy anime catgirl in a crop top
>give her a chad jawline, a 40 year old's athleisure outfit and surgically position her in such a way that even though you logically should be able to see her abs and bellybutton you can't
That said, hEXx3r my beloved. Maybe they finally will give you Nomads rules.
>>98317588Are Aristeia minis pre-painted? If they aren't and they're just showing the studio paint job, then I'll wait until the model ends up in other people's hands to pass judgement.CB's current studio painter just... can't do soft faces. At all. A LOT of newer female models looked really rough in the face on the store page and Anons were freaking out, but once people got to paint the models themselves it turned out they were fine, and the CB painter just leans way too much into deep, harsh shading.
>>98318188You definitely see that with the new Asura, yeah.
>>98318188Probably someone crunching them in an afternoon, because "Giraldez could do it".
>>98317579Gamer-Gata is back
I've never played a CB game. I decided last week to order some Warcrow dwarves since the sculpts looked pretty good. Got them today and holy fuck these mold slips are terrible. This shit looks like something GW made 20 years ago. These are unicool too, not siocast.
>>98318514>crunching them in an afternoon, because "Giraldez could do it"Hmm, I wonder why he left.
>>98317588I wonder what would happen if we could just let japs help produce cute girl minis then again, there are a few in stl websites that have good enough prints that I dont think anyone would bat an eye if they just used catgirl instead of... that.
>>98319962Weird. The Unicool WC pieces I've gotten have been practically flawless.
>>98317602hEXx3r, Musashi, and pumpkin angel are the only ones I'm really feeling from this release. They did Valkyrie pretty dirty in Cold Blood as well.
>>98321210IDK, Valkyrie's stats/blurb imply she should be kind of a monster. I'm not sure where I prefer her looking like a regular muscled woman or some kind of cyborg.
>>98321297>she should be kind of a monsterThat's no excuse for making her unattractive.
After playing a decent bit of Infinity with my buddies recently, one of em' gave me the WinterFor pack as an early birthday present. I'm incredibly grateful for it, and I'm excited to play Svalarheima- Just wondering if I need anything outside of Karhu and a Jotum for a 300 point "full" game. As always, thank you Anons in advance for your sage advice.
>>98321202>CHECK OUT THIS COOL SWORD I FOUND>WOAH! IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!>Hey guys, what are you doing? *jizzes*
>>98321546You'll gonna want to be as close to the 15 trooper limit as possible even if you're bringing a TAG, but for just getting used to things that isn't a bad plan.
>>98321546Some remotes pack is always good idea.
Does Corvus Belli sell two starter sets at a time, or is Sandtrap going to get discontinued this month or the next one because of the new starter set?I ask because I have Operation Sandtrap and want to get the Beyond pack later on, but looking at corvus belli store it seems they pack both into an action pack when the starter gets discontinued, which would saddle me with duplicate miniatures.
>>98321779I don't know if they have a rule for this stuff. I'm pretty sure some of the code one stuff was on sale together for a while. But I don't think that's a rule and Sandtrap might disappear from the CB store even if you can get it in LGSes. Email them or something probably.
>>98321792Probably depends if they have excess stock of packaging materials and such they want to get rid off in a fire sale.
>>98321779I think they would first release some kind of "army pack" so people can still get the minis.
>understand Infinity (to some extent)>other ppl complain about it being complicated but I think it's fine>look at Warcrow rules>eyes glaze over cannot understand anything????
>>98321546At the beginning? No, either Karhu or Jotum will bring you comfortably to 300.All three REM-boxes are great, but don't feel pressured to prioritize any of them over Karhu, although i'm biased and have 5 of them.Personaly i like Nisse and Vargar a lot, but it's pano, pich your favourite bs13+vismod+movement skill troop and run with it. Beasthunter are great as well. The hospitaller doc is a favourite of mine as well, but that's personal experience as he just keeps rolling good.If this is your start with infinity play some 150 or 200 point games first to get used to the rules and ARO system. Abd be prepared to make many mistakes that in hindsight will make you feel dumb, we all have been there. Full 300pts worth of stuff can be overwhelming at first.
>>98321830Nerds can't into magic
>>98321546It's hard to pick a favorite Orc, because they're all so great, but this Porc? He's got style.
>>98322390Too bad he's ronery, the only one
>>98326126Haqqislam and the Nomads are friends, actually.
>>98326906Especially ironic since that's a Hafza head, from the sectorial with the biggest Nomad component.
>>98326916My understanding is it works like this.
>>98326916>the people who know the Nomads the best also hate them the mostHmm...
>>98326956>AriadnaBro thinks he's on the team ToT
>>98327406They were cool back when HI sucked.
Still glad CB fixed ARM and thus HI.
>>98327478Did they fix it or did they just make it so you want AP on your main gun and removed templates from shotguns
Still contemplating Warcrow. There's absolutely no scene where I am and I can't say I like any faction individually but all of them have at least some models that I think are great, like this dude with the weeping & clutching hands on his armor.I think the Scions interest me the most overall but apparently they're like a high finesse faction? Undead but not actually that durable?
>>98328183Imo big gun with AP SHOULD work against high ARM targets, that is its whole point. Before when crits meant auto damage you could just give any chucklefuck a Spitfire and pump enough orders into him to Crit Jotumn do death.
>>98328520Yeah but it led to a lot of weapon creep where units just got AP HMGs or AP Spitfires. I'm not sure it actually fixed anything, it just changed how you think about your main gunfighters and narrowed the available profiles.
should just post it just incase
>>98331148This is, what, 8th Musashi?
>>98331148For me it's: Top LeftMiddle RightBottom Left and RightEverything else is a miss for me.
>>98328205Golem of Willendorf is the only must have model for me so far. The rest have one or two units sprinkled across all the factions that I like, but hardly enjoy any one group in particular. I feel like they are inching the ball closer to tempting each year however.
>>98331317Funnily I think I've seen it proxied more often in Warcrow hobby groups than other profiles. Tool cool concept for normies.
>>98332513>Tool cool concept for normies.Also GROUPS, plural? Maybe there is hope for me playing this game afterall.
>>98331148Eh, they're fine but I doubt I'm buying this.
>>98334309It's a boardgame.

That's a big knife
>>98339083Guess they're backtracking on him being purple.
>>98339083It is an appealing mini, but I can't help but feel we're suffering heroic scale weapon inflation now
>>98339637>now
>>98339290As long as it's the weapons...
>>98339290it doesnt stop him being painted purple skinned though
>>98340631Real men paint him orange
>>98339083It's a stupidly big knife and gun and looks really dumb. They should have made him a literal dragon man. It's like:>Achilles, we remade one of your team like a Morat. As a joke.
>>98341311Just print a dragon head and give it to him
Getting back into the game after taking a break around the start of n4. I've played 3 games so far in n5 and gotten my ass kicked.This is a list I'm planning on trying. Using Joan running with the Lt and Montesa, and DeFersen moving with the Teutons. The Hacker and Konstantinos will set up pitchers and disco to cover.My local meta is the american table meme where the terrain is super dense, and the other players tend to close the gap really well. Im hoping that setting up pitchers with DeFersen will help slow them down, while the discos help me get into better positions, because mimitism is pretty common too. I want to get a Tikbalang eventually, to have another big gun on the field
>>98342349I think there's optimising you can do but give it a try and see what works. De Fersen is one of the best hacking threats in the entire game but you want to have a network for him.
What is the current state of the game? Anything memeworthy that is blatantly OP or complete garbo? Which faction sucks ass rn?
A friend is trying to get me into this game, but I suck absolute dick at painting human faces. Any recommendations for an army with few or preferably no faces and generally elite troops?
>>98345369Combined Army. Failing that, Aleph and paint them as blatantly artificial androids.
>>98345487Oh yeah that looks more like my alley, thanks.
>>98345289It's really quite well balanced at the moment.
>>98345289Nextwave, Aleph, PanO are the strongest. Ariadna is struggling.
What's the deal with JSA these days? It's been a few years since I played Infinity and I'd just started to build a new JSA army before real life got in the way, It looks like they've been promoted to a full army with a few sectorials now.Annoyingly it looks like the contents of the uprising era army pack I bought back then have been split across a bunch of different boxes now so it looks like I'll have to buy a bunch of duplicates in the process of expanding.
>>98345369Nomads tend towards full face masks. You'll find those more often with Bakunin and Tunguska troops.
>>98339083aleph players confirmed for compensating for something
>>98279864Theres no way a fun game can be had on a table that small!
>>98346185It's a demo board on store. It's not meant for a full fun game.
>>98346154But it's combined army unit :^)
>>98331148Aristeia! was the BEST game ever released by CB.
>>98348393Too bad it was hard to convince people try it out, even if I had all the pieces.
>>98348478NTA but it would be easier if they made it properly playable with 4 players from the start. And still, I heard that 4 player mode plays odd.
>>98345743You pretty much got it. Full faction, two sectorials. It is annoying for previous JSA sectorial players to an extent, but they are also a much better army than they used to be. They are the unquestionable best CC faction in N5 and CC is arguably less of a meme than it used to be.
The problem with double TAG lists is it fucks with your lists centrepiece too much. It ruins the size progression.
>>98348993Size progression?
>>98348993True...
>>98349161A good list has balance between each silhouette
>>98349478I see
>>98349478No bitch I’m just talking about the aesthetic. It looks wrong. A single TAG is the centrepiece. Two just looks gross.
>>98349898Sir? Your bigger TAG?
>>98350449A list with two TAGs is like a man with two dicks. People might be interested for the novelty, but ultimately it's disgusting and nobody wants to deal with the mess.
>>98351001Don't care. Had sex(with two TAGs).
Plenty of compelling arguments to run a two TAG list ITT.
>>98351089Behind every succesful TAG there's another, bigger TAG
>>98351357You might call it tag team
>>98279864I keep scratching my head at FT Master (Unit X). To my understanding, it will grant its benefits to any fireteam member, not just Unit X. Having Unit X as part of the fireteam is actually a pure drawback, as it creates a second condition for breaking the fireteam. This can't be right?
>>98351089How are we feeling about 4-TAG Corregidor or OCF lists?
>>98354078By how rules are formulated, it appears so.>In the Order Count step of the Tactical Phase, if this Trooper is part of a Fireteam, all the members of that Fireteam are Regular.>If all members of the Fireteam already have the Regular Characteristic on their Unit Profile, apply a +2 inch bonus to the Team Leader's Zone of Control when making Coherency Checks for the Fireteam.The only thing that Unix X is doing is that once FT Master somehow leave fireteam that contains this unit, it is automatically broken.
>>98354078It usually converts irregulars to regulars though.>>98354693The iguana is fucking busted man.
>>98354693A weaker, pale imitation of the raw power of PanO TAG lists
JOIN PANO NOW AND HAVE A MECH TO RIDE AND A TECHBUTT TO FUCK
>>98357414What if I want to ride the Techbee and fuck the mech?
>>98357605Then you play Aleph.
>>98357652Don't have sex with Maruts
>>98358554Funny enough, I painted one Marut in PanO colors to work as proxy for Seraph.
>>98358744But Seraph is sex tho
>>98358917No doubt but sometimes I have to work with what I got.
>>98339083for you
>>98358554Certainly not the faggy ass current Marut as opposed to the beautiful giant bunny girl.
>>98359919>anons see "boobs" and "bunny-ears" and think "Hell yeah!"
>>98359919I think the current model is pretty cool
>>98362932I don't think it's terrible or anything, but it's pretty busy and the head is a bit too small and featureless to act as a proper focus.
>>98362932It's objectively fine. I don't mind that it gets busy in the midpoint of the model because the head is clean and the multi-armed thing kinda works for ALEPH's divine/myth vibes. I do think the pose is a little boring but it's a Strategos unit and they probably wanted to give it a less action-driven pose.I think it loses to the old Marut not in that the sculpting is any worse but in that the old Marut was extremely distinctive looking. It's one of these examples of creating iconic elements in the original design that are then abandoned. Sometimes the newer model is technically better but less interesting: a lot of the resculpted Nomad TAGs ended up like this, but I appreciate they still kept the Lizard (and added the Stigmata) looking weird. The new Marut looks like just another robot. The posing is also much better in the old Marut model.I do like that they channeled the 'yudbots are mini Maruts' thing into giving OSS robots that actually are mini-Maruts are units in the latest expansion, even though it doesn't then really make sense that those units are mono CCW close combat deathbots if that's the theme.
Like I love this model, I wish I had gotten one before it went OOP. It looks right out of some cyberpunk anime I never saw. The tight little cramped cockpit with the Landsmate arms, just this kind of industrial solid lump in the middle with these thinner limbs branching off, two-toed sorta hoof mecha feet but these animalistic claw hands with ammo belts coming off them. And the multi-windowed 'fly eye' head which you can just instantly intuit the pilot's head in and image all sorts of optic feeds coming in.It's visually so interesting, and it really looks like what it is: like the Nomads bought up some stock of generic chassis and then went nuts pushing it to the limit with their own weird tech and designs. I understand the sculpting by modern Infinity standards was poor...
>>98364790...but when I look at the new one, I pretty much think "well this is super generic but I like that it has the high heels because at least that makes it look a little weird like the old Lizard".That is maybe a little harsh, I do think the legs as a whole are a really interesting design and I like the odd shoulder cube breaking up the silhouette. But sometimes these Infinity design guys don't realise what they got.
>>98364802Just give her antennas
>>98364790>>98364802I get what this Anon is driving at. I still prefer a lot of old designs to their newer counterparts. Odds are most people like the current one, but I think this tag is tops. Same with the OG Guijia.
>>98367111luv me old szally pilotShe has proxied lots of things along the years
>>98368447If only this thing were anywhere near as good as the real Szal pilot design.
>Grr, CB went woke, they make sexy art and models that aren't as sexy!Meanwhile CB of the past:>>98368447>>98368528
>>98369043Why is he squinting so much?
>>98368528Their old artist just hit all those high notes so well. I just wish we got updated sculpts for the old designs more often.
>Sophotect pack comes with 3 Netrods>Netrods are only AVA 2
>>98369133He's just Asian.>>98369583One is for emotional support.
I had a look at the Kinnara Scoutbot "lore" but can see no reason there why they are miniature versions of the Marut either.
>A novel by John Leibee>One hundred and eighty years in the future, humankind has expanded across the cosmos. On the dangerous frontiers of Dawn, the Atek descendants of the lost colony ship Ariadna struggle to hold on to what little they have, and none are more vicious and backwards than the Caledonian Highlanders.>Lieutenant Wilhelm Gotzinger III gave everything to PanOceania, and in return, he was court-martialed, demoted, and disgraced. Assigned to a diplomatic attaché at a remote outpost on Dawn, he’s holding out hope that this terrible assignment is his chance to fade into comfortable obscurity.>Instead, Dawn bares her claws. His transport is shot down. The Caledonians find him. He’s taken prisoner.>Stripped of his technology and weaponry, Wil still has his wits, his fists, and skills honed across a lifetime spent in interstellar battlefields and Neoterran back alleys. But amidst his escape, he uncovers an alien conspiracy that places both PanOceanian and Ariadnan lives at risk. The only allies he can turn to—that he must learn to trust—are the Highlanders who took him captive, chief among them enigmatic half-human hybrid Saoirse Clarke.>All he needs to do to return home is overcome decades of animosity, convince the clan chieftain to act, and face down an army of horrors with only an outdated rifle, his old Aquila duster, and a broken multispectral visor.<Time is of the essence. The fate of many rests on a monomolecular edge.Friendship with ALEPH has ended. Now Caledonia is my best friend.
>>98372772>let's give our novel an unpronounceable titleIt's a bold strategy, Cotton.This is fun though.
>>98372822>yanks be like "AI-rag-hard-t"
>>98373077I look like this and I said this
>be me, demo Infinity with a friend, or whatever the fuck youd call this asshole>we both seem to enjoy it>later, after we've bought starter forces>"yeah anon I know i said it was a cool game but im starting to think the rules are badly written, im not having much fun with it">why do you say that?>"criticals are in the middle of the die roll. They should always be 1 or 20!">it never bothered me that badly>"well a critical should always be at the extreme end of the dice and its just too confusing for me, I think im gonna sell my starter set"Why the FUCK are gen-X'ers like this?
>>98374044The consequences of DnD have been a disaster among gamer kind
>>98374044I actually like it being the precise target number because I think thematically it clicks as the peak of that particular unit's skill in those circumstances.
>>98374312It also reduces the effect of possibly skewed dice. If you had a dice that had, say, 10% chance to roll 20, it would only really matter in really specific circumistances
>>98372772Is the Infinity milfic any good?
>>98374954Dunno, the free promo pages weren't terrible from what I remember
>>98279864Returning player here. I gather that most people just don't touch reinforcements, but could somebody clarify how they are supposed to be balanced when optional?Specifically, can you have a match where only one player uses reinforcements? If so, would the player with reinforcements have 350 points while the opponent stays at 300? And how do tournaments usually adjudicate it?
>>98376939>can you have a match where only one player uses reinforcements?You can do whatever you want, m8.>how do tournaments usually adjudicate it?The ITS rules do not permit it, if Reinforcements is enabled then both players are required to use it.The Reinforcements rules also say that, but not quite as explicitly.>With this Extra, each player’s Army List is divided into a Main Section and a Reinforcement Section.>The player must assign a total of 100 points and 2 SWC to build their Reinforcements Section, and the rest of the points and SWC to build their Main Section.
>>98376939Reinforcements was a poorly planned scheme by Carlosian Hebraics to take more of our precious moneys. Ignore it.
>>98376966>Ignore it.Unless you play Merovingia, then you can enjoy real N5 quality sculpts of the French.Unless you're into the Exrah thing because they were deleted from existence until they resrufaced as reinforcements for Combined Army.Unless you are into Korean BBQ therefore you have plenty of Korean units for Yu Jing.I mean, they can be played as regular guys and not reinforcements anyway.
>>98374044>muh ageWhy are all {age} like this?
>>98380838Every generation but mine is the fucking worst.
>>98377314The Korean stuff was kinda interesting but CB never really went there again.
>>98383437Koreaboos slept on that one
>>98383770koreaboos only care about kpop, I dont ever remember seeing too many of them care about their military cheevos like that one time at the height of monkey shogun's power korea general man stopped japanese invasion or something
>>98387200The introduce a k-pop boy band as the next set of Corvus Belli OCs.
>>98387306something tells me that the spaniards who still probably care about masculinity would probably die in pain trying to sculpt scrawny kpop boy bands
>>98387314>YJ units>masculinity
>>98374954One of the writers is like a Royal Navy marine (or pilot, can't remember) so it has that edge of realism I like.
>>98387401but they emulate the commie larp pictures! they must be augmented like pano!
>>98387406PanO doesn't need augments
>>98387404>I need my space werewolf fic with realistic undertones
>>98391168Yes? That's literally what makes it good.
>>98391168This but unironically.
>>98391168Yes.
>>98391168this is what ruined infinityamerilards saw anime game with goofy ass hacking, sexy ladies riding robots and aliens that communicate via fart gas and said" yep, this is where i want my hoora low tech tacticool army to be"
>>98397030And they were right
>>98374044I mean, sometimes they are 1 or 20. Your friend seems kind of stupid.
>>98398665>they were right>open the door to retarded rules bloat, kurwa spam and actual space marinesNo
Dumb question, I got some infinity minis but they're metal and I haven't touched a metal miniature in like 15 years.Do I need a new primer, or will normal primer work fine on them?
>>98403729Regular primer is fine, but Infinity minis sometimes have some of the mould release left on so it's not a bad idea to clean the model with soapy water first.
>>98397030I like america between all the fire and werewolves they had fun stuff, and my other armies were morats and bakunin

>>98405989Where is Angel?
>>98407390I don't think he works with CB anymore, he was a freelancer even back then.
>>98407847Yeah he hasn't been painting for them for a long time now, as you can tell by the studio miniatures.
>>98407847>friends>family>fans>but not the painter who was the look of their minis for a decadehmmm
>>98405989Wtf, Ivan is still alive?
>>98407390>>98407847>>98407983Maybe he had other contractual obligations
>>98411745I choose to believe this because otherwise he was a huge part of that 25 years of success.
>>98405989Perhaps the real pile of shame is the friends we made along the way...
25 years anniversary model is large scale Warcrow statue lol
>>98414633Um... Pass.
>>98414633Why are you ignoring the bust?
>>98416478Personally I don't care for busts
>>98414633Looks good but I bet it will cost fortune.
>>98414633No, there is also an Infinity statue.
>>98418091Is that Shinobu?
>>98419210It's x-box hueg Shinobu
>>98418091>it's not a jizamurai I mean at least it's JSA, but the Jizz is right there!
>>98418091What a... peculiar way to wield a sword. It's like someone had suddenly grabbed the tip and tried to pull it away from her.
