>>98878611Really wish they made the Rumbler just standing and posing normally instead of being perched on a fucking beer keg 24/7. He's too dripped out to be gargoyle max'ing>>98876807>given how much those two Druze would cost, i would suggest otherwise; a couple of Brawlers i could stomach.Now that you mention it, it's weird Brawlers don't have panzerfausts. They really look like the type of grunt/fodder units that would be packing one>Druze with holoechoes/holomask, FD(+8), Viral/T2 Boarding shotgunI really like the idea of a viral boarding shotgun. Bashi's already have T2 shotties so I wouldn't wanna steal their niche. I'd pray for +1B too but that really seems to be a HI only thing>something like a Camo regular, FD(+4) or (+8) with minelayer, seems more their style and language, possibly an irregular Camo shitter with a Flamethrower.Some kind of forward deploying speed bump with an E/marat or Flamethrower would be nice. I've gotten a lot out of Zellenkreigers and their pulzars despite everyone trying to convince me they're just shittier yuan yuans. In that vein, just more metachemistry/booty units could be a niche for Druze. Some lists I bring I'm having to make 5 rolls on those tables without even trying to go out of my way to pick those units specifically for the rule. Having someone like Aida get a HMG out of nowhere can really open up how you play a list.
What are your main action pieces in SAA? OBviously you've got the Dragao for HRMC crimes. but who are your man-sized active killers? >Bagh-MariMSV1 and Mim3, but "only" BS13 and 1 vit>Guarda de AssaltoBS15 and vit2 but unlinkable, only mim3 with no visor>ORCsBS14 and vit2, but zero useful abilitiesOut of these I'm thinking the Guarda is the most attractive, or maybe just copious application of shotguns present all over the sectorial. I've noticed there's no MSV2 or Albedo in the entire faction, so your only play against a smoke shooter is... throw an eclipse grenade with the Guarda's auxbot?
>>98878991I've only played Svalarheima but I can vouch for the effectiveness of ORC's. Between Jotums and Vargars and Karhus, the most consistent unit has always just been an ORC with that boarding shotgun or feurbach. Guarda seems pretty solid though; you don't really need to be linked if you're BS15 and have an auxbot buddy.>I've noticed there's no MSV2 or Albedo in the entire faction, so your only play against a smoke shooter is... throw an eclipse grenade with the Guarda's auxbot?Eclipse and template weapons yeah
>>98879179Now that you mention Svar, aren't Karhus just better Bagh-Maris? They're both MSV1 BS13 MI with roughly the same costs. Difference is Karhus get 6-2 and Climbing Plus, while BMs get Number 2. I guess BMs also get HMG and shotguns, while the Karhu get Feuerbach +1B
>>98878724Either Brawlers should be discounted as well, and/or retuned: doctor/engineer (WIP13), losing the rifle on the specialist profiles (-1point perhaps?), panzerfaust on some profile, minelayer/sapper on the MSR profile.>I'd pray for +1B too but that really seems to be a HI only thingnot necessarily? i'd take (+1SD) at least. If a viral shottie is too much, at least a Vulkan shotgun.While generalized Booty would be funny, it's kind of a crapshoot (too much variability, Booty(reroll) mitigates this somewhat, but i'd hate to build a strategy on that), units with specialized gear would be more "predictable".
What's the "downside" of WhiteCo? It just looks like PanO with smoke and good hackers. You don't have the really mean tag shooters and some of the giganiggas like Swiss Guards or KoJs but you still get a ton of their best units like Karhus, Nisses, Shona Carano, etc on top of all the upsides from actually having mechanics like smoke and good hackers. Are they straight up better?
>>98882388Having to share space with chinese """people""">mfw enlisting in PanO and ending up in WhiteCo
>>98883404But the Chinaman just threw a smoke grenade and now you don't feel like a retard for packing that MSV2
>>98882388At a glance it seems that way but when you get into the nitty gritty, WhiteCo trades in lots of PanO advantages (rare special rules, good shooting, flexible links, non-bloated profiles) for superior hacking and YuJing durability. If you highly value hacking then WhiteCo is probably more appealing but some notable things to consider>UnitsHoly fuck do you lose some good units. The linked ML KoJ is one of the best ARO pieces in the game, so that's a big loss. You're also losing Vargar for Jujaks which is not the best exchange; jujaks are great at being shot at and filling up a link but if you want shit done vargar are actually what you want. You lose access to a hidden deployment specialist in the form of the Locust, who's been replaced by the somewhat inferior Guilang. No tech bee means no cheap specialist, no agnes or racer X also means no REMdriver, no infirmarer means no cheap link team glue that's, once again, a specialist that is cheap.>Shooter piecesIf you like HMG's, you're really strapped for units to pick. Fusiliers, TAG's, Orcs and Nisses are the only ones packing. Svalarheima is sort of the same, but because of how they "played" (strong defensive game where you then push IN to close quarters) it didn't hurt as much, but now when you lose those good defensive elements it makes being an active player a bit more awkward. All of your snipers and missile launchers are stuck on YuJing units that are just "kind of fine". Linked shooters are stuck in really inflexible links which makes playing against WhiteCo fairly predictable too. You also don't have as much specialists that are capable of throwing hands, which was a defining strength of Svalar. I don't think WhiteCo is bad (Haidao's, Danavas and Tiger Soldiers are a huge selling point) but they aren't just objectively better. If they were, everyone would just play them instead of Svalar or White Banner.
>>98880851It is kind of annoying that our line troop equiv is so expensive. CA players will cry about paying 14pts for their line troops meanwhile we're out here paying 15 for dudes with rifles and a shotgun.>doctor/engineer (WIP13)Still amazes me that our only doctor is fucking WIP12, and it's either her or a Druze paramedic if you want a specialist for outbreak or just a medkit. It honestly shocks me that we're one of the NA factions that DOESN'T get a cube jager when it 100% would be welcome and used a lot if we could.
>>98884307>The linked ML KoJ is one of the best ARO pieces in the gameFucking hate it so much.>>First turn have a perfect cross map snipe with a linked djanbazan sniper>>yuan yuan drops in and deploys smoke>>KoJ is on -9 mods but still at BS6>>Proceeds to face tank 6 orders of shooting before finally outrolling my djan and blowing him and his whole link team up
>>98880832Bagh-Maris get warhorse, minelayer on the sniper and hackers.Also boarding shotguns with burst+1 are almost broken. Not having to pay the multirifle tax is also a boon.Did i mention warhorse? It is one of the best skill to have now that e/m and bs-3 are practicaly in every list. Mobility is nice on karhu, but bagh-mari can go places karhu can't (into e/m mines and e/marats that is). Hackers with warhorse are also sweet if your oponent forgot his khd.
>>98883404>throwing stones while playing the designated jeet faction

>>98885084>>98885078>>98885046PanO includes EU from what I recall so that's as much "aryan" as you can get.
>>98884560no offense but that's a skill issue from you. You could have done several things to handle this as you were out of LoS. Despite being on 6BS, they would be on a SD, as well if they were in a 5 man Link team they would also be at 9 on SD. Either if you didn't take him out he burnt through 6 orders which were a massive waste. You could have done this1. Play the objective and not actually engage it 2. Spread your link team further so they all dont get hit 3. Split your link team and do a coordinated order 4. Take out the rest of their link
>>98886024Same thought process that led them to design a TAG named "Anaconda" and give the pilot a MASSIVE ASS. It should count as some level of mimetism due to distracting the enemies
Just had an action-ass movie moment with a hacker Zhencha>Playing on a space station map with outside zero-g difficult terrain zones that are in the vacuum of space>Doors and windows that you can enter/exit out of>Move zencha up through station interior and fry a tanuki's brain with trinity through a wall>Haris he was in alerts so they're facing the door I need to go through to get to the antenna>Zencha has terrain total>Nearby window>Vault out of the window into the vacuum of space and cautious move along the outside of the room>Climb in through a window in the room with the haris>blam blam the jizamurai that isn't looking at me>blam blam the tanuki that fumbles for his pistol>spend last order to activate the antenna so I can score extra points for double bindNo matter how much of a mess rules can be sometimes I'll forever adore this game for letting you be able to do cool shit like this
>>98886024>weapon options: smoke>the label being right under her ass was accidental and in no way a brapfag fetish, honest :^)
I have a question - since Orc have BS14 and Boarding Shotgun have +6 within 8 inches AND said Orc can technically be part of FT that would grant him +1 to BS attribute, it is technically possible for him to have 21 BS. Would that work like CC aka scoring crit on 20 and 1?
>>98886148The name's Chong. Ching Chong.
>>98885407PanO includes every type of "aryan" there is. Even some honorary ones.
>>98887960I wonder how the Indian character models would look painted white and blonde with blue eyes
>>98887979Skin- and eyecolour is just a fashion statement. The difference is that PanOchads typically stay within natural range in their weekend bodymods.
>>98888064If I lived In PanO I'd just tell them to premanently entomb me in a set of Orc armor so I can live out my fantasies
>>98886604What makes you think it wouldnt work that way? If someone walked up to a FT ORC in good shotgun bands they deserve to be crited on 1's as well.
>>98886604Yep. All dice rolls in infinity work on the idea that if you can stack mods to make it go over 20 then it starts applying crits on lower rolls like how it's commonly associated with CC. In a similar vein, if mods would reduce a dice roll to 0 or below you automatically fail the roll. Usually this only happens with BS/CC attacks since not a lot of things give + or - mods related to like PH or WIP, or at least not enough to ever push them over 20 or below 0>>98888833I think anon was just asking since in other wargames (most obvious being newer editions of 40k) there's always a min/max failure/success floor where you can no longer keep stacking mods to get better results.
>>98888993Infinity also has a cap of +/-12 for mods, but that's still enough to overcap
Do the new books they drop with each season have lore on all the factions, or just specific ones related to whoever is relevant release wise at the time?
How does camouflage work in a fireteam? If I have an Uhlan FT'd up with something else, can it deploy as camo? can it go into camo state while still being in the fireteam?
>>98891316Citing rules:>The following Troopers cannot be part of a Fireteam:>Peripherals and their Controllers.>Troopers in Marker form.>Troopers with the Infiltration Special Skill.>Troopers possessing Skills with the Airborne Deployment Label.>Troopers that activate or are in the Suppressive Fire State.>Troopers who deploy in Decoy State.>Troopers in Isolated State or any Null State.Holy shit, I miss Uhlan + Tikbalang box...
>>98891480Ironically, I don't think any sectorial can run both
>>98891480Was the old Tikbalang a melee TAG? All the sculpts have very prominent swords, the Toni version doesn't even have guns
>>98892641It was never a melee TAG, no idea why they had him with such big sword if he is not in position to actually use it. Seriously, CC 17, even basic trooper is better at CC than him.
>>98892641OG Tik's back in the day were specifically for use on jungle words or heavily forested areas. so I imagine the sword is less for chopping people and more for chopping down foliage so it can pass through. The new model of Tik's are literally in lore new variants that have been designed to be more applicable for different enviroments
>>98892862Aco bros...Are we just going to sit and let them steal our TAG? When will the knights pay rent?
>>98892944The Tik is just too universal a platform, everyone wants a piece. Hell I'd start collecting MO, SAA or KCF just so I could use a Tik.
>>98892944You still have the Bad Dragon and the most badass infantry that's not wearing a winter coat. I do wish the HRMC and the flammenwerfer swapped positions though...
>>98892641>All the sculpts have very prominent swordsNobody tell him about the sniper axe...
>>98893307That's just a traditional Morat walking stick
The Dragão is a modified Squalo MkI chassis. What would a modernized one based on the MkII look like?
>>98893307It serves as a musket fork.
>>98893340I hope they won't modernise it, I don't want my Dragao to become unusable from being scaled down to S6 from S7.
What's a good proxy for a zellenkrieger?
>>98894373Could always proxy it as a Cutter. Or maybe they decided the extra bulk of the HRMC keeps it S7
https://infinityuniverse.com/en/news/survival-horrorKinda neat. You do have a play group to play it with right, Anon?
>>98895339I already have old Scarface painted in dark blue as Cutters proxy and recently got actual Cutters, who waits for painting in line.
>>98895463>not posting picsshame on you
>>98895908Because making pictures with a phone of a TAG is a bit problematic. Here you go, anon, just for you.
>>98896165It's OK anon, nobody's gonna cancel you if your mech takes out its phone outside combat.
>>98896420>PanO remote TAG operator so addicted to Maya that she checks posts mid-combat
>>98896165Woah, that's really nice. The copper bits on the guns look awesome, and I can't tell if it's manual highlighting or just the natural light but the artificial muscles around the armpit look super well defined. It works well as a Cutter since the thigh vents and the forearm ribbed sections could easily be interpreted as some kind of underwater propulsion system. Besides, Scarface is a refurbished PanO TAG so it could easily be an older variant of the Cutter before they got the more modern ones
>>98896700Copper and muscles are painted with metallic paints (Vallejo ones back then) and treated with wash, hence their shiny nature. But thanks, anon.
>>98896165What's the asphalt(concrete?) part of the base made from?
>>98896749It's round cut from cardboard tray for plant pots, painted gray and drybrushed over. Cheap and have that sweet texture almost like industrial grading.
>>98896770>cardboard tray for plant potsyyyyeah, I'll need a product link or name if you have one. It'd look great as diamond-plate steel.
>>98897217This particular one was this: https://www.castorama.pl/taca-produkcyjna-verve-23-x-18-x-3-cm/5059340329444_CAPL.prdSorry for polish site but these things are named differently from shop to shop but if I would have to guess, some hardware or garden shop would have those.
>>98897289>plgurwa I need to go to castorama to get some necroumunda walkways

>>98897289tak jest nawet lepiej, dzięki :^)
>>98897289I guess my Nomads will be getting some discount ship floors soon.
>>98897289
>>98898058I don't get it. Is it referencing a flashpulse ARO?
>>98898157Hidden Deployment
>>98898058Lmao. >>98898157Hidden deployment. You are supposed to take a picture of where you placed the hidden model before the match started.

>>98899769I mean sure nigga if you feel like you need to win that badly you're gonna pretend you have the gift of prophecy.
>>98899769I've never seen people NOT check them, even back in the day when the location was written on the back of the army list and people trusted each other way more than nowadays.
>>9889966810ma, my beloved!
Visualize in the mirror the TAG you want to become
>>98900022an ooyori with a bigger sword
>>98900247Motherfucker it's already PS3, make it any bigger and it'll start accidentally splitting atoms while you move around
>>98900303She can split my atoms, if you know what I mean
>>98900332Well, at leats you're being honest about your endowment.
>>98900332SHE can split YOU? I think you're looking at the wrong character for that
>>98900344Why did you post an average russian man?
>>98900361This is my brother in law Ivan. He is 45 and father of two kids. And on left you can see newbie Sergei, still wearing his helmet.
>>98900344what's the tactical significance of mounting a searchlight on your ass
>>98900500You know how your skin looks all funny when you shine a flashlight through your hand? Now imagine that but from inside your stomach
>>98900500You naturally aim at the moving glowing tail end, making you whiff your shots. If it weren't ALEPH conservatism, all soldiers would wear tails!
>Decide to check out 1d6chan's tactics pages>They only have up to N4 and most of them are barebones unfinished shit missing half the units>Decide to check out the forums>Average of 1 post/yearThsi thread's slow as fuck too.

>>98900549Basically every forum on the internet is dead at this point. /tg/ in general is also much slower than it once was.
>>98900549Discord it is. Hope you have your programmer socks ready
>>98900549There's probably some YT channels that fill that niche. There's even one for Warcrow.
>>98900558>>98900592
>>98900674I preferred her previous version.
>>98900344I never realised fiddler is actually this cute because her model looks absolutely horrifying, or at least the way they painted it in the promo pic makes it look horrifying
>>98900966yeah I think it's the highlighting
>>98901070that's a monkey
>>98901149wow, bigoted
>>98900674Is this the biggest art-to-model discrepancy in Infinity? (Or rather, the corvusbelliverse as a whole I guess)
>>98900937Tragically true for basically everybody in Hexadome Legends, and the few new ones they have are merely alright.
>>98901775https://x.com/HotGoblinJP/status/2085645879512568309japs could potentially do anime 32mmits a shame its not too big over there at that size.
>>98901070kek
>>98901971I'd just like to say, fuck painting glasses and fuck painting anime eyes. I can only imagine how horrible it'd be to have to do both at once.
>>98901971woaw...>>98901983at which point do you bring out the toothpick?
>>98901988At no point. I find toothpicks horrible for painting, maybe there's some trick to it but if so I don't know it. My trick is to fill the hollow glasses rims flat and make them mirrorshades.
>>98902026>>98901988just look at that needle of a brush the guy uses.
>>98902031and that still looks too big for the eyes. we need some kind of CNC setup for minipainting
>>98902031>>98902040NTA but I use watchmaker magnifying glass to paint eyes and I still struggle since at this point depth of field is absurdly shallow.
>>98902059How do you steady your hands to paint something so small?
>>98902065By placing both hands on desk and operating only with fingers. But I still miss from time to time since with eyes even slightest movement might ruin everything.
>>98901988>>98902031No. Don't be a troon, use a normal brush.
Just got my shit absolutely rocked by tunguska but can't even be mad cause I got styled on by hollow men. Those fuckers are so effortlessly cool, I'm kinda jealous.

I def made some mistakes and could have played better but the terrain just worked against me HARD
>>98902369I'm sorry that you got turned into footage for an anti-fascist punk rap music video. The rooftop hopping does sound incredibly sick though
>>98902401It is what it is. It was my first time going up against a faction that just has objectively better hacking than me 100% of the time so I wasn't really prepared for that. Coupled with my first real time having to deal with an extremely mobile link team and it was bound to be a mess. I tend to struggle a lot with gauging just how "dangerous" stuff is in this game sometimes but I'm not discouraged or anything. Also doesn't help that I'm just too addicted to the idea of taking a TAG in every list...Even in a situation like this I think a Triphammer would have fucked me up all the same, and god forbid If I took Scarface.>The rooftop hopping does sound incredibly sick thoughIt definitely was. Cool stuff to imagine these metallic, lanky bastards weaving in and out of holographic ads and junky looking billboards, peering down and sinking repeaters into concrete while some interventor sits curled up under a bus shelter wreaking absolute havoc from down the street. Part of playing druze is just accepting I'm gonna be cannon fodder for most players, so as long as it's cool it's okay.
>>98899668There's a single box of dakinis left in my whole country. I don't know where they found it, after it being out of stock and out of print. Dakini HMG model is sweet. They look so much better than the new dikplas rubbish.

>>98902189Played another game against Tung friend and was absolutely thrashed in every capacity, both from just unfortunate list building and a series of tactical blunders. Game was Hardlock. Won't go super into details but some highlights/fuckups>Thought I was being clever with my KHD Druze + Arslan on turn 1 since I ran them up first turn and touched down a Pitcher right into the middle of a Hollow Man core but I unfortunately misjudged the distance since the KHD Interventor nearby was just within range of the repeater who crit fucked my Druze to death through the firewall>Valerya managed to get lucky and isolate the Interventor and got to work isolating the entire Hollow Man core>When Tung get's their first turn I am unfortunately given a harsh lesson about how much a good combat jump can mess up your whole day as Raoul Spector lands in my DZ. What follows is several orders of my Druze and Brawlers missing all of their chain colts, shotgun blasts and viral pistol shots and half of my list is slaughtered by a single model>In a desperate hail mary to get points I try to move Saito Togan up the board in turn 2 to get the beacon where he is uncermoniously killed by a cheerleader with a gun>With puppet bots having a tight hold on the HVT (who I needed for my classified) and with my only specialist alive (bashi) about to get K-I-L-L-E-D by cheerkillers we decide to call it a Tung victory since he very clearly would have been able to secure the winDefinitely some very dumb mistakes I could have prevented and I did get pretty unlucky with rolls (Raoul tanked a total of 3 chain colt blasts, 4 viral pistol shots and 1 LSG blast and only took a single wound). Tung as a faction seem to just get SO much out of every single one of their models. Might have to look into more defensive lists in the future since I really struggle with those turn 1 blowouts. Being the one that has to deploy first really sucks too ngl
>>98904924This is why we take minelayers folks. Let them combat jump into a minefield
Do you think it's a coincidence that the werewolf (and werebear) handlers are always young sexy women? One of the squads even has an excuse to ABSOLUTELY always have at least three around her at all times. Sometimes you just know.

>>98905048I'm unfamiliar with Druze's roster, but when it comes to mines, quantity is the name of the game
>>98905055That's literally all of the minelayers except for Armand lmao>that picgiwtwm
>>98905067You get peacemakers, the premier PanO minelayers. The auxbot gets the mine, meaning you can slingshot your deployment mine REALLY far away from the peacemaker itself

>>98905325>Your girl is going.first time hearing that one
>>98905376
>>98905596..To the Ariadna pseudo-zoophilia party yacht?
>>98905606Yeah. It wasn't your girl, it was just your turn. The next turn belongs to a 9'8'' werewolf mutant with a giant cock actually. Your girl is going.
>>98905622uuuh something something Ariadnan pipeline
IF Sheskiin is that strong because she scanned Achilles, and Achilles is now working for CA, what's stopping them from just mass-producing Sheskiins? Just have all the Shasvastii form a line to scan Achilles
>>98906387Maybe EI doesn't want shas to get too powerful
>>98906531I thought all the CA races were 100% enslaved by EI
>>98906595>the Morat fluff has been "they follow because of strength, and will turn if the EI seems weak enough" since N2, and N4 added explicit mention of rogue warlords in the Kyosot fluff>the Shas have a faction trying to get them back to galactic empire status, who were the antagonists of Betrayal>the Exrah fluff revolves around one of their groups trying to embezzle equipment and getting their shit slapped for it>the Tohaa and Humans are still in active conflict with the majority of their speciesLess thinking, more reading. The only significant Combined Civ races that don't have some sort of opposition going on are the Ur, Urkherit, and Umbra.

What's the sluttiest design in Infinity?
>>98908645
>>98908651I guess I did walk right into that one. I should've specified "that's not a tech-bee"
>>98908645You have to be high IQ to appreciate herMary Problems is a good pick, shoutout to Emily too though
I personally think all nomads should be shot until dead.
>>98908800True!This statement was fact-checked by true ALEPH patriots
>>98908651>>98908658This does not look like a proper attire for battlefield maintenance...
>>98908800>>98909079Sibylla pls
>>98909088PanO gives them freedom to pick what they wear. Because they voluntarily pick the skimpiest outfits in the setting. The sluts.
>>98909101>>98909088needs more classifieds to kidnap cheerleaders
>>98909114Antipode paws typed this post
>>98909088Tech-bees have no actual official attire and many dress up however they like, PanO command knows about their status as "mascots" and approve. It's in the lore, I kid you not.
>>98909172HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE JSA CHICKS DAMN I HAVE A FETISH FOR LONG BLACK HAIRIm like KonichiwaRAPE
>>98909182They're grrreat!
I have a question.Seems Next Wave is comprised of a bunch of Steel Phalanx dudes that went over to the ayys' side, both lroewise and gameplay wise. Does that mean that Steel Phalanx players got cucked out of all of their named characters? how did they take it when the switch happened?
>>98904093>>straya thinksHeh, good one!
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OXm76lS577Asmug chinaman wants to sell you shit
>>98909498I love watching infinity painting videos because when the first highlight layer goes on I always think "oh no he fucked it up" but then the last highlight layer goes up and I'm like "holy fuck he's done it again, absolute masterpiece"
>>98909498That's a big codpiece
>>98909244Steel Phalanx has like a gazillion named characters so losing half a dozen just made a dent
>>98905040The bear handlers should be young sexy twinks.For the same reasons.
>>98908658Lizard pilot.
>>98908645That one pilot in Betrayal? What'shername?
>>98910046What's impressive is that the model itself has an even bigger ass than the concept art. You can tell this is by the same artist that did the tech bees too, based based based based>>98910165You mean Ko Dali?>>98910040I see the tradition of Dedovshchina remains alive and well on Dawn
>>98910178Sorry, not Betrayal, but Outrage. Mixed those up.
>>98910200Is it weird that I don't find this one sexy at all? She's TOO thick, almost looks like a drag queen
>>98910178>You mean Ko Dali?The original one had great ass, butterface tho.
I wish I had the time and skill to practice on a mass amount women to paint them well enough maybe with fantasy..
>>98909730For you
>>98910366Learn how to paint a sphere and you're 90% of the way thwre to painting a juicy ass
I think it's a crime that the Swiss Guard model has a HMG and a sword when A) he's CC15 and B) 90% of the time you're running him with the missile launcher. There's something unreasonably funny about this fully armored knight with a bazooka being invisible until he hoes "SURPRISE!" like The Joker and the model should reflect that.
What's the difference between Limited Cover and No Cover?
>>98912137No -3 to BS from partial cover.
>>98912453So Limited Cover still gives you the cover "armor", but doens't give them an aim penalty, while no cover doens't get anythign right? Hold on, does Marksmanship only ignore the BS mod too? Meaning the only way to ignore the "armor" bonus from cover is "No Cover"?
>>98912467Yeah, still get that +3 modifier to saving rolls, just "for some reason" (I'm quoting the manual here, no joke) have no -3 to BS. You got that right. Marksmanship states that it ignores -3 modifier from partial cover or nanoscreen, so yeah, it does nothing to guys with limited cover.
>JSA BETRAY Yu Jing with PanO help>JSA BETRAY PanO to go colonize Arrakis>JSA ASSASSINATE the Yu Jing emperor and destroy his cubeWhat's the legality of WMDs in theHuman Sphere? They're BEGGING to get nuked (again)
>>98912814>ALEPH does nothing>O-12 does nothingall a part of keikaku
>>98912852What's the lore justification for ALEPH letting PanO shoot her agents? Isn't every single PanO citizen chock full of bogdabots in rheir bloodstream so they can ask ALEPHgpt how to hold a knife? Shouldn't ALEPH throw pff their aim when they shoot at her dudes?
>>98912852>Obviously huge break of intergalactic rules>Does nothing but virtue signalO-12 truly living up to their NATO roots I see
>>98913161I thought they were supposed to be "UN if they actually did something"
>>98913221ngl I kinda just thought NATO and the UN were the same thing
>>98913240UN is like a meeting all the big boys sit in where they promise to be good boys and sign a bunch of treaties that say "I pinky swear I wont start wars or do warcrimes". Makes for good toilet paper when they promptly turn around and start wars and do warcrimes. NATO is a defensive alliance where the North Atlantic countries (So basically the developed western nations) all sit together and say "If one of us gets attacked, every single other member ARO shoots back". NATO is a lot more serious and like half the reason the Ukraine war is still going on (and debatably the reason why the invasion happened in the first place)
>>98913258UN situation is somewhat ironic, given that previous interation of it, League of Nations, was criticised for lacking any kind of power to enforce any decisions they make.
>>98913240>>98913258fun fact the only country to date that's ever invoked the NATO article 5 call-to-arms is the USA.
>>98913533I mean, they were formed after WW1 to prevent WW2 from happening. You can see how well that worked out.>>98913556To the surprise of absolutely no one. They even try to invoke it offensively, including in Iran.
>NCA has Bolts>SAA has Bagh-Mari>Varuna has Kamau>SVH has KarhuWhat's the Kestrel equivalent? Fireflies?
>>98913989Yeah. They technically fufill the same roles as the other MI staples>Fireteam link glue>Variety of specialist roles>Serviceable shooting>Some form of special rule/standard gear that makes each one stand outKestrel's just a bit odd cause they have a huge emphasis on LI and HI, to the point you can comfortably make a list without any form of MI, which is sad cause Fireflies are cool as fuck.Honestly most MI in Infinity are cool, but they just get super shafted because of how min-max listbuilding is when it comes to pts.
The worst part about Kestrel is I love all the models and most of the profiles but they're so strong and popular that I feel like I'm just jumping on a WAAC bandwagon if I start collecting them
>>98916076They're not gonna be OP forever. Besides, isn't most of their power contained in the godawful RedEye? I refuse to interact with fliers on principle so I'm sidestepping the bandwagon, even if it means playing "suboptimally". Kestrel is Wild West + CIA spooks, what's not to love?
>>98916076Kestrel appears OP at the start but they are simply another twist on PanO formula and in good direction. Various online "analytics" were indeed screaming about OP left right and center but after initial excitation fades, turned out that Kestrel is simply good sectorial. Have some good pieces, more flexible approach than typical PanO stuff but still mostly focused on good shooting and viable list building options are still limited. As usual, just pick up army that you like.And, for a change, at least I'm happy to, for once, NOT hearing about how PanO are "worst faction in game" because "lol no smoke", "they can only shoot" and "muh camo".
>>98916166>>98916226>They're not gonna be OP forever>As usual, just pick up army that you like.Fair point. With how CB works I'm probably better off buying them when I can anyway since they love to just randomly stop producing certain models>Besides, isn't most of their power contained in the godawful RedEye?I was under the impression they're strong because they have extremely efficient profiles that cover every base in addition to the usual PanO strengths like good shooting and flexible links. Never seen them in action though so maybe it's just a case of online people complaining too much or something>Kestrel is Wild West + CIA spooks, what's not to love?They're one of the jucier sectorials to deep dive into cause you really do have an odd roster of weirdos. The idea of just playing a goverment sanctioned hit squad that's whole purpose is to secure PanO colonial interests is a fun take on the usual sci-fi stuff.
>>98916226Ironically they feel like the usual PanO weaknesses are exacerbated on them. >No smokeThey have fennec Disco ballers which are amazing, but nowadays every PanO sectorial gets easy disco balls and it's usually on something you actually want running up the board like Vargars>They can only shootTrue, and they have none of the CC pieces other sectorials have like Liang Kai or Shona Carano. Pretty sure the only unit in the entire roster that wont fold instantly in CC is the Team Crux Father-knight and you don't really want him up close either. It's even more noticeable because they don't have good shotguns either, the other sectorials are full of Shotgun(+1B) profiles, Kestrel's best up close guns are fucking SMGs and Combi rifles
>>98916247>goverment sanctioned hit squad that's whole purpose is to secure PanO colonial interestsThat's literally every single Infinity game, that's what Code:Infintiy means. The difference is Kestrel has the actual glowies get in on the fight instead of just sending regular troops on "special military operations".
>>98916253On the defense of Fennecs, FO profile with Sensor for 13p is quite good backup specialist in many scenarios for relatively low price. Overall Fennecs are excellent line infantry, unlike, say, Crosiers.>Crux Knight in CCI don't know anon, I prefer not to engage in CC at all, it's just too risky. Last time I tried using Crux in melee, he lost to humble Moderator girl.
Oh and I forgot about how removal of a lot of template weapons made me actually try playing the game at all. I was honestly tired of reading yet another analysis claiming Ariadna or Haq being better than PanO because of having cheap template weapon profiles and turning them into auto-win weapons in suicide trade-offs.
>>98916291Fennecs don't need defending, they're arguably the best line infantry in the game. It's just you'd rather have your "real" pieces move up instead of wrangling a 5 man squad up the board. >Crux KnightThat's the point. In other sectorials you can have Shona Carano with two Vargar butt buddies superjump up the board, throw a disco ball in the way of anyone that might shoot you, and just have her go can opener on an Avatar in CC without much trouble. In Kestrel if you see a big nigga TAG up the field your options are much more limited. Shoot it with a Tik's (non-AP) HMG? Disco ball and pretend it's not there if you can't see it? Hope your PanO hackers took their smart boy vitamins that day?
>>98916305How to actually stop Shona Pain Train? Last time I played Kestrel vs Svalar (against same guy who previously played against me in my first 300p game, using Tohaa), I was completely broken by her and her Valar + Infirmarer buddies in team.
>>98916424she's hopeless at range, so obviously "just shoot her" is an option. She also has Frenzy so it might be worth feeding her a random goober to take away her cover. Like all melee pieces, you could bait her into going after a tempting target on some isolated corner of the map away from the objectives, forcing her to waste a ton of orders just moving and not contributing to scoring. She's also only ARM 2 so even with NWI, a single DA shot has good chances of killing her outright. As a last resort, you could send another melee giganigga at her and bet on the 50/50, but most are more expensive than her so it's not that great an option considering the risks. Something like a Vorpal weapon goes right through NWI.If you want to be a real prick, take a flier and laugh as park it right in front of her and remind your opponent that fliers cannot be engaged
>>98916471>she's hopeless at range, so obviously "just shoot her" is an optionI assumed she could just dodge and infinitum. But thanks.
>>98916662well, she IS PH14 dodge +3, but at the end of the day fire enough HMG dice at her and she gonna die
Are there any rules for narrative play or campaigns? Got some friends who are looking to play and thought it'd be fun to base our games around some OC planet we're fighting over. I know there's stuff like spec ops and we're gonna be incorporating them
December pre-orders.
>>98917340>>98917341Yeah, those are getting bought for proxies. Love the halal-pepebot too.
>>98917341Do people drill out barrels im metal minis? Seems like it'd be a lot harder than on plastic
I wonder whats happening in the book
>>98918156Hyperthermal? JSA permakills the Yujing emperor, new nanobot plague is discovered and weaponized
>>98918162are the chinks busy chilling out too hard or something
>>98918162JSA works hard to be designated bad guys for the setting.
>>98918416next thing you know, there is a new hybrid japayy named character that is basically samurai darth vader with a new sectorial paintedIN RED AND BLAAACK
>>98918519Didn't achilles already pull this stunt?
>>98918530yeah but the JSA ayys are not with the EI just the ones they found in shinju
>>98918555I think they should get off rightful PanO clay.
>>98918741pano troopers are expendable, the pano corpos should now pay JSA on premium if they want ayy tech
>>98918799Jackals are expendable, since they're filthy At*ks. Helots are expendable, they're just fish. And yes, every fusilier gets told that a Peacemaker remote is worth more than two of their lives. But they're all priceless compared to Shindenbutai scum
>>98917341Something about the basic profile model reminds me of the Halqa.
