Do you think this is a balanced game and why? Why not?

>>96147063 (OP)
There's the second finalist list from Interplanetario.

>>96147081
BASED

Post PanO please

>>96148268
PanO was mistake

Sex.

>>96147063 (OP)
That image represents everything wrong with infinity for the last 3 editions. Except libertos

>>96148980
This one >>96147081 looks great though.

>>96149009
Why its almost always CA or aleph in the finals tho.

>>96149055
PanO suffers.

>>96149084
As it should.

>>96149098
PanO is the protagonist faction and bears the cross as the result.

New novel
(Placeholder cover, to be revealed at Gencon, book arriving in September).

Mankind has expanded to the stars, settled resource rich worlds, and come to a tense peace with strange, alien civilizations. Hyperpowers vie for dominance, not on apocalyptic battlefields but in the shadows with small teams of highly trained warriors. In the Uprising, the resurgent Japan has rebelled and broken away from the megalithic StateEmpire of Yu Jing, fighting to forge their own destiny.

Takeshi “Neko” Oyama, a warrior renowned for near mythic survival in the face of overwhelming odds, grapples with his growing legend. Suddenly he is drawn into a clandestine operation back to the planet Shentang and the island of Kuraimori; territories now brutally occupied by Yu Jing. There he will have to rely on Mizu, whose yakuza ties have kept her gang alive after being left behind during the Uprising. She is called once again to gather her team, riding into battle alongside those who abandoned her and the war correspondent Bianca. Bianca’s reporting set the Japanese Uprising in motion and earned her the ire of the StateEmpire. Now the award winning warcor is drawn back into the fray, risking death at the hands of those she wrote into infamy. All the while, the mysterious Hassassin Yasbir has started the avalanche that will bring them all together for a mission that is far more than the rescue operation it seems to be.

What secrets lay slumbering in occupied Kuraimori? Will the Yu Jing forces find them first?

Did you not read By Flame and Sword?

>>96152520
Yeah, Achilles turned heel

>>96152952
Get back to working on the game, Carlos.

>>96152952
This works on some many levels

Nearly 6 months total to paint them and make bases, finally ready to play. I hope I will overcome my fear and contact that local Facebook group so they at least see a single game.

And Japanese too. Too bad I know nothing about making good lists, I saw Goonhammer example lists and they were simply odd (like Kestrel list with two Yamabushi, two Bulleteers and generally consisting mostly of drones).

>>96153108
Goonhammer takes on Infinity are notoriously questionable.
Nice minis though, I will have to start playing JSA too I fear.

>>96153205
Unfortunately I have no other sources of information about which units are good and which are not or how to make lists.

>>96153419
The zeros to heroes podcast (channels name was guerilla miniatures games or something) and rob sheppard on youtube are quite useful.

>>96153568
I would rather prefer text rather than videos but thank you anyway.

>>96149055

>>96147063 (OP)
>>96147081
Where can I get the exact lists and possibly batreps?

>>96153712
Try https://www.infinitythedata.com/ just keep in mind people's local meta's differ a lot

>>96154156
Nice website, is it made with Lovable?

The two Warcrow lists as well. Not much variety yet, with just two factions lol.

>>96154156
Okay, thanks.

>>96153097
>>96153108
I encourage you to reach out and find somewhere to play. You completed your set of Sandtrap, which is very commendable, and they all look good!

PanO:
Bases are really nice, weapon colors clean, good shading; you did well. I like the desert pattern on the cloth elements. Blue, green, desert rose, sand accented with umber along with black and copper metal. I'm not a fan of that blue with that green, maybe one of them darker or lighter, but I think everything comes together well in the end for these PanO.

JSA:
These look really cool, I think you chose good counter bases to help pick this army apart from the other. There's a bit of base cohesion lost towards the front row but it's okay to show off other areas of the map for isolated units. I find the color palette of the ninjas surprisingly neat, as well as the elite Hatamotos which give me Bishamon vibes.

For me, I didn't paint mine, nor did I buy more than one of the expansion sets. I really wanted to play this game but I haven't found a group yet either, but I'm assembled and foamed up waiting for the day.

Come back and tell us how you do.

>>96155807
Firefly guys got green jackets solely because of their name and role of demolition experts - I couldn't help but imagine them throwing one liners from G. I. Joe Retaliation movie Firefly.

And thanks!

Nice. Well good luck getting some action for your army men. Yo joe!

>they question Ilana, which starts to act a bit absent minded, if the rooms remind her of when she was participating in the project, and she says they seem familiar
>at the end of the catwalk is an airlock, currently powered, but the gang decides to tunnel through the glass and into the crash dummy room, a process which takes half an hour with the limited tools on the yaozao

Surely this isn't a portent of bad things to come

Ah, and there it is

Wooo go murder that digital satan!

Did they say anything about resculpting Bao troops?

>>96167686
I don't think they said anything specifical, but it should be imminent given they are OOP.

>>96167780
I give it three years.

>>96167930
The true answer is right after you buy and paint the complete set of the old ones, including converting them to N5 loadouts.

>>96168578

>They are not using Shitty Plastic™, they switched to Piss'n'Vomit Plastic® now!
Why can't boutique companies cope with the fact they have to go with metal, hard plastic or - God help me - resin to be successful?

>>96162115
It's that easy to defeat the EI

>>96169393
Because all three have significant downsides for a small-scale manufacturer, making the idea of something better very appealing. Finding something better though has, as you've noticed, been rather challenging.

>>96169524
>Because all three have significant downsides for a small-scale manufacturer
The high cost of hard plastic casting is basically a myth nowadays. The tech got much cheaper than it used to be 15 or even 10 years ago. Metal casting costs going up is literally greedflation psy-ops. Reshit on the other hand has no redeeming values.

>>96169639
>Metal casting costs going up is literally greedflation psy-ops

>>96169746
How many tons of lead-free tin do you need to run a 'small indie company please understand' type of business?

>>96170297
Not many, but they don't sell a lot of minis either, it's more about the price going 5x in a few years.

>>96170297
Retard, the cost increasing that much matters on a small scale too. You don't need to buy fifty million tons of tin. Five times the cost is five times the cost. That makes 5 bucks worth of tin into 25 bucks worth of tin

>>96169639
>The high cost of hard plastic casting is basically a myth nowadays.
It's mostly a problem with the fact that no one is going to cast less than like a 1000 sets for you per form. And if you want to make a game that means you need like 1-3 box sets per conflict side even for a start. That's 2-6 thousand sets minimum. And, yeah, sure, it's actually affordable money wise to cast, but then you need to actually sell them and in interim you need to keep them all somewhere. Meaning you need to also store them somewhere with proper conditions.

Resin, metal and shit like sio-cast can be easily done without heavy machinery so you can do them in small runs and keep the results in your garage or something. Going with hard plastic is way more involved.

If I made a list using phone application, can I post code here for judgement? I'm not experienced in those things, never played real game aside from two "demonstrations" with 7-10 units.

>>96178453
Just post it and someone will come to bitch about what you did wrong.

>>96178480
Okay then, here is my attempt at making generic PanO list: ZQpwYW5vY2VhbmlhE1Bhbk8gZXhwZXJpbWVudGFsIEGBLAIBAAoBKgEEAAKG1wEBAAOG1wEBAAQTAQEABRMBAQAGAQEBAAcBAQEACIcTAQIACS4BAgAKAQEGAAIABQGHDAEDAAIkAQMAA4XMAQQABITGAQgABYTGAQgA

I'm open for suggestions.

>>96169639
Hard plastic is garbage for modelling work no matter how much zoomers love to eat it up.

>>96182042
>Hard plastic is garbage for modelling work
Hard plastic is the best material for kitbashing, converting and sculpting due to ease of fixing, adjusting and merging. You won't be able to do half of the shit with metal you do easily with plastic without extensive greenstuff sculpting.
>no matter how much zoomers love to eat it up
Ah yes, the famous 40-50yo zoomers. The survey is from 2022, now the numbers are even more in favour of plastic.

>>96182252
All false.

>>96182252

>can make anything, anything at all to stand out

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTT beli, way to just look like a big warhammer fantasy rip whilst also doing it more dull than rackham did in 2003 with confrontation. And cool mini or not made wrath of kinds which is what the other half of this game looks like, but they did it decades ago

>>96169639
I can’t but help feel like the real reason you don't think the problems with metal and hard plastic are anything to worry about is that you want those material in your minis, and so you view things through the rosy welding mask of sheer teenager entitlement.

>>96182042
And here's the basic contrarian.

>>96178501
For the Generic MO list :

imho there is a big lack of long ranged guns. Joan can use the xvisor and the link to shoot beyond good range - 12s on 5 dice is pretty hefty but it may be a big problem if you run into a sniper w/ mim or HMG w/ BS Attack(-3) that Joan can't shift.

Only one specialist in G1, and not a very good one. One Specialist in G2 that is short on regular orders. Will be hard to get buttons pressed.

No MSV and not a lot of template weapons to deal with mimetic skirmishers.

>>96188683
Correction: two specialists in G1, but Bipandra isn't the best at moving up the board either.

>>96152520
Ei promised Achilles to revive his bussy Patroclus, while Aleph said no. That's it

>>96178501
this is what i played in the Interplanetario, but i ended almost last, so be carefull XD XD

I have too many problems dealing with snipers sitting close to the table edge

(to be fair, i lost 4, but in the first one i was clearly winning, but the other player entered retreat and managed to kill my Joan holding a supply with Shona with his only regular order and get the match, the last one was a tie until the last 2 orders, when the other player managed to reach to the AI server and destroy it, and the other one was biothecvore in a hell of a table, with a Longwang in suppresion in the exact centre of the table)

>>96189495
Okay, thanks. I'm surprised your list have 12-13 people in it, I was told before that any competitive list absolutely have to include 15 people.

>>96188683
Okay, what you suggest then? Ditching Joan + 2x Blade combo entirely? Because they eat most of points and limit other options.

>>96189743
i had more people, but i tweaked the Joan list to have only 10 visible orders, so the oponent cant strip 2 orders from my pool if i start playing. In origing, konstantinos was not in the list, and i have another trinitarian and a Forward observer bot

>>96188693
How about now: ZQpwYW5vY2VhbmlhFlBhbk8gZXhwZXJpbWVudGFsIHZhckKBLAIBAAoBKgEFAAKG1wEBAAOG1wEBAAQBAQYABRMBAQAGEwEBAAceAQUACIXMAQYACYXNAQUACoXNAQMAAgAFAYcMAQMAAiQBAwADAQEJAASExgEIAAWExgEIAA%3D%3D

>>96189464
Bros before AI-hoes

>>96190511
What are the Blades doing?
t. clueless

>>96195433
If I got that right, in fireteam with Joan they can use their tactical awareness orders to activate fireteam, leading to additional 4 fireteam activations, albeit with them as leaders (2 from their tac, one from Joan tac and Joan Lt order).

>>96196239
The Tac Awa user must be the fireteam leader to use that order to move the Fireteam, take that in mind.

Lt Orders cant be used to activate fireteams (unless a member have the NCO skill)

>>96184339
>>96184353
Yes Anons, in the last three years hard plastic kits are being clearly pushed out of the market by lolcast and the flavour-of-the-month resin. Learn to cope.

>>96196572
Metal is more natural than plastic, you microplastic-brain.

>>96196526
But isn't it like they automatically becomes team leader when they use that order?

>>96197998
Yeah, so the advantage is mainly movement because they only have boarding shotguns.

Is taking the red fury puppetbot worth it in general? one more dice and better bands is nice but ap ammo is so much killier

Could this list do evacuation comfortably? Asking for a friend.

>>96207616
Why Vertigo?

>>96211852
To have the option of gml striking? I already went and changed the list some but the vertigo stayed. It's so cheap and I'd have swc left anyway that I like having the option just in case.

How do you actually design good table for playing? I know it sound like too generic question but Im afraid it's too easy to unintentionally make either boring or too problematic one (like making each player unable to progress due to too many open straight corridors) and randomly dropping buildings sounds cheap.

>>96214557
Not too open
Not too closed
Multiple paths to all points on the table
Not too obvious sniper nests but not total lack of long sightlines either

>>96218958
Now post Polish style, I know you have it somewhere.

I just realized REMs can't even CivEvac so my Evacuation list is worthless since all three mobile specialists I intended to get the civilians are rems. Now I'm not sure what units are good for getting them in Tunguska since they can't be linked (so no hollow men) rems (any of the mobile FO's) or impetuous (No zondnautica).

>>96219101
Just search for Elbląg, Białystok or Ełk in the archives for the funny horror stories. I blame r*ssoid influence for this retardation.

Oh wait, I found it myself.

>>96196572
The huge tits on this cartoon instructor makes me want to use this app
Does it teach Chinese?

Do we know the time of the gencon seminar?

Okay, getting back to question about setting up good table - what do you think about this one? Looks good for 300p game?

>>96221157
Looks quite sparse, very polish

>>96221191
I don't have more buildings...

>>96221204
No can do then but I think you'll find it to be too sparse

I just want to meme out with 8 swc. How can I do that while maintaining a respectable list?
Here's what I got so far with PanO

>>96221204
Just, like, print some more
Or build

>>96221204
Use empty boxes.

>>96221204
I'd say get some shipping containers (universal large cover garbage) and future cars (universal road cover).

>>96221157
Genuinely unplayable, those roads are ridiculous firelanes.

>>96219512
Certified Białystok kino.

Thought this thing would be imposing. Was not prepared for midget tag

>>96223996
It's meant to oppress midgets(chinese)

>>96221157
Looks cool but I generally try to avoid building a table where you can draw a line of sight straight from one table edge to it's opposite. Keeps it more sporting for me, the cutter enthusiast.

>>96223996
Hell of a sculpt. I wasn't expecting that either but it doesn't make me like it less.

>>96223996
Ok but that's pretty lóng in China.

Are there any scans of the N5 book out there? I'm interested in the fluff but the price point is a bit steep... Or well I'd rather spend the money on more minis

Sup dudes

Been thinking of getting back into the game after quitting back in N3 (just after the second global campaign) when the group I played with died.
What did I miss? I still have my MRRF, my ice storm, red veil, and usariadna box sets after all this time.

>>96227243
15-unit cap hit Ariadna harder than most other factions. I feel like they now have enough tools to be viable again, but a lot of old fans of the faction seem to disagree (though separating actual criticisms from bitching about not being able to kurwaspam anymore is difficult) and regardless you'll need to rework your listbuilding strategy.

Beyond that, since late N3 we've had two edition changes, and the main takeaways are
>De-nested and renamed skills to make them more readable
>Lot of the hacking list got culled
>Fireteams got a very thorough rework in how they're formed and how they get bonuses.
>Vanilla armies no longer have access to everything in the faction by default, but they have better access to fireteams now
>Some sectorials were culled, but a lot of units survived by being shuffled into the new vanilla lists (e.g. Varuna is gone, but Vanilla PanO has a lot of Varuna units)
>Falling damage is gone, shotguns lost all template access, and scenery damage is in a weird gray zone (some rules reference it, but there are no rules itself for it).
There are of course more changes, but they're pretty niche.

>>96227719
>(e.g. Varuna is gone, but Vanilla PanO has a lot of Varuna units)

I'm still salty over losing my Kamau and how vanilla cannot recreate Varuna lists anyway.

>>96227243
Forget Ariadna. Is dead. Unplayable. So out of the meta that is like other game. Is not hard mode, is just LUNATIC.

>>96229386
Weird, when I did some search on local scene, it's mostly Combined Army but with strong Ariadna presence as well. Aside from that, YJ and Haqq was popular and PanO had reputation of being useless.

I tried playing game against myself today and either I made one list very bad or Kestrel is that solid.

>>96229682
What was The other side

>>96229975
Shindenbutai but I probably made their list very weak or don't know how to use them. Obviously they are more toward melee and camo/hidden deployment but still.

>>96229386
Such a shame. My Briscards were my best boys during Paradiso. that and my Para-commandos.

But what money Carlos made is on him.

I want N3 Regulars models so badly, tho...

Aristeia 2.0 is coming

Will feature both new and classic characters, the packs will have one of each.

Also REM Racers will be released as a card game, too.

The bunny girl is a trasure hunter influencer, basically.

CA is getting a dedicated alien warcor.

Bunch of new YJ units, these will be in the ISS expansion pack gamma.

I think 4chin believes I'm spamming so I can't post the other pictures lol.

>>96235644
Looks like they were all shared in the last update anyway (Feiquan, Triggerman & bot, Switcher, Zaybak & operator, Anaconda resculpt).

Sectorial news is thus:
>the dead 6 are being put back in as rules because the community won't shut the fuck up about it, no mention of any sort of model support
>CA's new Next Wave sectorial is Achilles & friends collecting humans who also want to side with the EI
Next Wave will be released as an action pack in October.

>>96236544
Gwailo but human

>>96236551
Tekdrakens are biomechanical but not explicitly Shas or Ur. Seems like it'll be in the NW box since Carlos said it'd come in an action pack.

>>96236556
I guess they could even be Sygmaa, as an allusion to the Symbiobeasts.

>>96236544
Thanks for taking over.
I think the new Anaconda looks really cool.

Also the Warcrow seminar.

>>96236801
And there's one unit for each of the current factions. First off, the wood elf cripple squad.

Did they miss the screeching about Exrah and foot Montesa? What the fuck did they expect after squatting multiple sectorials?

>>96236544
>the dead 6 are being put back in as rules because the community won't shut the fuck up about it, no mention of any sort of model support
I don't need model support to play neoterra, but it sure would be nice to be able to use the minis I already bought from CB. Neoterra is my favourite, I buy, paint, and play other armies, but killing NCA really damaged my enthusiasm for the game.
Although I might actually buy that pack with the new bolts if I can have AVA total bolts again.

>>96236824
That gunner's seat is... highly unfortunate. What happens when that mecha's head gets knocked back? He's dead, that's what.

>>96236544
>because the community won't shut the fuck up about it
I swear to God, I remember CB saying that they were planning on re-introducing dropped factions since before N5 even launched; they wanted to focus on getting real factions up to snuff before wasting time getting discontinued shit no one played anymore up to a modern state, but anyone left behind would be back One Day(TM).

Did I just dream that or can any other Anon corroborate?

>>96238086
The idea was yes they're not in N5 but no they're not gone forever. I remember it quite vividly, and am not sure how the community missed that point entirely and threw a shitfit their prop painted army they just bought was "squatted."

>>96238086
They said that dropped sectorials would be released with PDFs so that they were technically playable but wouldn't be supported with rules updates or models.

>>96238639
No, that was going to be the full N4 army profiles so that N4 would remain playable.

>>96236824
We Warmachine now.

>>96238086
It's basically the same thing that happened with N4, much screeching and panic happened then as well.

>>96236701
Wacrow is really getting a big glow up, a lot of these models are really excellent.

>>96239110
Did we ever get those?

>>96236817
Based horny spaniards

>>96239283
except that in N4, the retired sectorials came back after a couple of months and CB said since the 1st moment "dont panic, they will return".

With N5, that didnt happen. They squated those 6 with no communication of how or when they'll come back. Only a "Will they return? Well, maybe, in the future, who know. The only sure thing is that they wont be at the start of N5"

BTW, CB never oficially said anything about the legendary PDF for retired armies

I wish they would have stayed squatted so that these pathetic whiners would suffer more

>>96239691
>except that in N4, the retired sectorials came back after a couple of months and CB said since the 1st moment "dont panic, they will return".
Yes but people panicked and whined anyway.

>>96239572
Not that I've ever seen. Probably hiding the same place as the Warcrow army builder app.

>>96239719
i remember more whine with the JSA uprising that with the N4 scalated launch

>>96239705
oh look, the anti-fun police. I bet no one wants to play with you

>>96239859
Yu jing players managed to whine for like 8 straight years.

What the hell happened to the pricing of this game??
I havent played for a few years because of job stuff and now the Tags are almost as much as the sectorial army boxes used to be.

If they're serious about bringing back NCA I will reward them by buying the velociraptor with a gun just to paint.

>>96240002
Significant inflation over the last decade or so, especially after Covid.

>>96239897
Tbqh they also whined 8 years before thag

>>96239705
This but only for Varuna players. I won't let them get away with playing N3 Varuna.

>>96239705
That's not very... amical of you

>>96240002
>I havent played for a few years because of job stuff and now the Tags are almost as much as the sectorial army boxes used to be.
Wait until you see what TAGs are now made of.

>>96239865
I actually just finished a game. What's fun about childish crying?

>>96240431
What's fun about not letting other people having fun?

>>96240832
It's not for fun, it's out of spite for being a whiny baby. Bear in mind not everyone who feels sad about losing a sectorial is a whiner. Some people reacted to the news like adults

>>96240860
Again, letting other people having fun and enjoying the game makes you have less fun?

>>96240990
People whining and being childish is unfun, learn to read

Gentlemen, please.
There is only one thing that should be argued over, and that is which unit has the best ass.

Fundamentally untrue

Tried setting table for 250p game instead and got US style instead. But that and previous building and simulated game against myself were worth to carry on, always some experience before actual game.

>>96241725
I like the tank. Do you have anybody to play against?

>>96241225
sir, you and your attitude belongs to GW, not here. Please, leave

>>96241502

>>96242017
Nope, just myself. Which is why I try to finally get into some game or two, if only just as a matter of principle. But looks like I will have to visit LGS to learn which Infinity FB group is the right one for Warsaw since from what I learned so far, that's the only channel for organising games in my city.

>>96242060
No, I'm pretty sure it's the exact opposite. Whining like a giant baby about everything is all GW players seem to do.

>>96242098
I've got no experience with it but the large unofficial discord could also be a way to find games

>>96242119
Extra funny how it never works for them. We? We just slap Carlos until he goes back to work.

>>96241725
The density looks good.

>>96239705
I mean if there is a single sectorial that has the right to complain is MRRF it has been the worst faction in the game since release.

>>96236765
Her smug aura mocks me.

>>96241502
>The answer is the lady chasseur, by the way.
What rubbish, the OG Mech-Engineer is far superior.

How good are actual sculpts of Warcrow models? I might want to buy some solely to paint them because I like their concept arts but then again - actual quality might be much different.

>>96243090
They are siocast, which is not as good as metal or unicool. It might be a bit annoying to clean, mostly.
Haven't heard many complaints about Warcrow minis specifically though.

>>96243126
Untrue, they are mostly unicool. Someone here for the Feudom set and only the LI were siocast.

>>96185825
This is what gets me. The original Warcrow minis from when Corvus Belli was starting out with the celtic warriors and ninja ladies was genuinely more interesting and unique than the current range. They should at least try cribbing anime designs like they do with Infinity. No one would be unhappy if there were Berserk and Slayers expies instead of generic medieval soldiers and orcs.

>>96243563
Untrue. Only some special characters and big figures like cavalry or big monsters. are unicool. All the rest is siocast

How's USARF doing right now?

>>96243802
They aren't even in the game bro. That seems to be changing.

>>96241590
I don't know if it is really that dire, but a friend decided to start playing infinity recently and was disappointed when he saw the observance models on the store and asked why they weren't as hit as mine.

>>96243809
Did they nuke the setting or some dumb shit?!?

>>96243841
They got rid of the rules because they didn't want to sell the models anymore (A very gay practice that too many minis companies stick with). But complainers won, I'll be able to play them soon.

>>96241502
Anaconda chan. I know she isn't in a pose showing it off but look at the size of it. Girl's TAG didn't have a cushion so she went to bakunin to get one installed.

>>96243846
Usarf wasn't axed retard, it's in army right now

>>96243802
They are allegedly getting reworked "in the mid-term", probably 2026 as we know the October 2025 release already.
It was mentioned by Bostria here: https://youtu.be/QtEzsQqr8sA
I bet that it will be one-half of the Operation box after Sandtrap.

>>96243809
>>96243846
>Got rid of the rules

Lying on both accounts, rules have been there and adding the factions that *did* get cut back in has *always* been CB's intention since the very beginning.

Please stop trying to flatter yourself into thinking your shitposting on a Tibetan fingerpainting social media network has any effect beyond just annoying everyone else here.

>>96244271
Yes, they are. Siocast instead of PVC for Aristeia V2

>>96243090
Siocast and unicool, Squad units tend to be made on siocast and special characters and small elite Squads /cavalry/Big models and outsourced to unicool

>>96236817
Is this tied to the orc faction? What other kinda units can I use with this?

>>96248795
Yes it's for the orcs: https://warcrow.com/universe/nations/northern-tribes

>>96247033
In the interplanetario one guy told It was going to be in PVC , next day i asked to another guy in aristeia stand and he said he wasnt sure but the last aristeia expansions PVC quality had improved and blah,blah,blah.i hope at least they make a limited versión in metal like the core box v1.

>>96249135

It wasn't in the studio update but apparently we are getting an infinity video game somewhere down the line

>>96252995
Oh really? In addition to the Aristeia videogame you mean?

Painted September release, will also include the new novel.

>>96255515
Yeah. No idea about the details.

>>96256097

>>96256097
Ah, nice, I guess we are finally getting that Infinity Xcom game.

>>96256140

Infinity could really benefit from same combat system as in Valkyria Chronicles - in both units are activated by orders and can actively react to any enemy that enters their line of sight.

>>96256097

>'we specialize in mobile apps and games'
Into the trash it goes, then.

>>96256648
Yeah, weird choice. But who knows, maybe it will turn out decent.

>>96256722
I assume it's gonna be shit, but would welcome an unlikely nice surprise if one came around.

>the first episode of Paradise Lost is ready, they just need to pick the song for the intro and ending
I wonder when it will come out.

>>96256732
I'm listening to the seminar here:
https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/infinity-tactics-co-news-for-pc-games-in-infinity.43598/
and Bostria said at least a few of the people who will be working on the game are ex-Blizzard, so we may be in for a surprise.

>>96256648
It's gonna be gachaslop, isn't it?

i always thought the same. And with the mechanic of having less movement the more orders you consume, it will help to mitigate 1st turn Rambos

Another try with this. how's this for evacuation? The idea being that Perseus smokes the board up so that spector and the hollow man can go get the HVTs. There is a heavy aro presence to protect my own HVTs and a guided package to punish the opponent for null deploying should that occur.Might also help out in terms of defense by making my repeaters scarier.

>>96261714
My condolences.

I was wondering - I know that official rules does not have such thing but could 2v2 play actually work? All players being restricted to single combat group and 150 or 200p max, on standard 48x48 table, team turns, command tokens and Strategos allowing limited "transfering" orders? Or it would end up as too big clusterfuck?

>>96262564
>official rules does not have such thing but could 2v2 play actually work?
The N2 scenario Lost Post had 2v2 (and 4-way DM) support. Can't post the PDF, but it's in the Mega.

>>96261714
Nobody is forcing you to play it, it existing doesn't take away from you

>>96262657
Yes it does, it takes away the potential of something more interesting having been made with the same funds and development time.
You can grovel over every piece of content made if you please, if I think something's a waster of resources I'll say so.

>>96262678
We know next to nothing about it yet, pipe down.

>>96262601
One of the ITS tournament seasons also had a pair tounrmanet option. Late N3 I think.

I feel like my Ikari might be down for a bit of plundering in between their killing noncombatants. Probably appreciative of the bunny girl, too. Ah, well...

>>96236551
>>96236576
Hot take but I actually hate some of these sculpts now, they hardly follow the proportions set by the concept art. This one's so loosely based on it that it is not even funny. I really like the ironside art, but that sculpt is not appealing at all. Scared for the raptor getting botched.

>>96255526
Like this concept. They didn't take the mini far enough into monstrous-silhouette territory, . It just looks like mild differences in body fat. I would've liked this if it was closer to the art once again.

>>96265442
Tbh it's horrendously ugly either way. I hope they dix the profile for the triggerman beforw it comes out

>>96265454
I mean his hair got massively botched in sculpting, I hope they fix it too, but what precisely do you mean?

>>96265466
This is another example of the end result being a far cry from the inspirational material. I just don't think the sculptors are really trying, or they're freestyling and it passes muster from CB anyways.

>>96265466
The profile is pretty unplayable, it's paying for skills it does nothing with and the fat base means it's a huge pain to get it to fit into a nice aro position. The robot looks cool but that's about it.

>>96265489
Oh you meant profile as in the stats block. Right, and I wasn't aware of that. Fucking hell I was excited for this unit when it was announced but that sounds dreadful.

And the switcher gruppa could've been awesome, they just... went with something very unappealing in the end. I miss The Batman Bane, would rather proxy this for that unit.

>>96265519
>>96265442

>>96264927
And that's a good thing.

>>96265442
Tag Raid did this better. I guess this could serve as proxy.

Are there any summary rundown sites that I could use to refer if certain units are good and worth including or the opposite?

>>96270684
Goonhammer does unit reviews. Other than that YouTube I guess

>>96270684
This isn't Warhammer, they don't make OP units just to sell their minis or useless units because they are shit at balance. Almost every profile has a use in the right mission/list/opponent, sure some are better than others but very few are auto takes or never takes. Context determines a lot.
