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?

Finally, fleshing out existing characters rather than creating new ones.

>>96147063 (OP)
I just came back to the game from a long break jesus christ they put Achilles in combined? What the actual fuck where they thinking?

>>96152177
Did you not read By Flame and Sword?

>>96152520
Sheskiin deserved it :3

>>96152550
The slut.

>>96152521
I did, but what does it have to do with Infinity?

>>96152713
BGC
BIG GREEK COCK

>>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
last year nomads won over steel phallanx

>>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!

>>96156742
Nice. Well good luck getting some action for your army men. Yo joe!

RPG session 5 AAR:

>the gang teams up with the vet, named Ilana, to go fuck up the AI
>they figure level 8 is their best bet to find it, and quickly pass through level 7
>they pass by some looters without trouble, check a giant cargo elevator for traps, making sure no one is hidden on top this time, and finally descend
>level 8 is best described as a stalker-esque lab. Completely devoid of power and lights, they are met with a large lobby with the faded logo of the defunct Chromnia Corporation lit up by their flashlights
>the air is stale and hot due to barely functioning life support down here, but otherwise seemingly non-toxic
>they hatch a plan. Either find a source of power, which the AI needs to survive, or see if they can find a palce where the air is colder, as the abominable intelligence must require plenty of cooling
>the pass by a corridor filled with office cubicles and rooms, all thoroughly looted, and then enter the observation gallery
>it's a 30m long catwalk encased in reinforced ballistic glass multiple cm thick, overlooking 6 testing rooms—a firing range, two interrogation rooms, two puzzle rooms, and two mental asylum like rooms, one which sports the broken remnants of a crash test dummy in the corner
>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
>they drop in, tear the dummy to pieces for safety measures and find on the back of its head a slot for some sort of storage device, not unlike what Ilana has on her nape
>further, there is grav plating here. but inconsistent, with the room on the left having very little gravity, which could present a possible hazard

>>96161258
>they leave and are faced with two doors at opposite ends of a corridor. they send the yaozao to the rightmost one, not before shooting a camera in the corner
>as the brave yaozao (which the owner refilled with the explosives after having prievously removed them for safety reasons) waddles to its target, it pings with a positive maya connection halfway down the corridor.
>it gets immediately assaulted by a carbonite attack, but manages to merely take grevious quantronic damage without being immobilized
>the players set all their equipment to dumb mode. It will be harder for them to use their equipment, but they will be unhackable.
>they cross the door and enter a room labeled "subconscious mapping chamber". A small, dome-shaped room with a suspended surgical waldo, surrounded by reclining neural interface chairs, one of which still has a dried blood smear in its headrest. They blast another camera to pieces, and head over to the command console in the corner
>they start transphering data, but immediately the console shuts down remotely. They hook it to the battery of the yaozao, and as soon as they're done, a voice speaks to them through crackling speakers: their dreaded AI
>they exchange some banter, but Ilana, upon hearing the AI asking for her to be handed over, snaps and starts shooting up the room, and gets tackled in time before she shreds apart the console.
>soon after, the door shuts closed, and the air ventilation reverses, syphoning the air out.
>only a minor inconvenience for the PCs, who cut a hole into the door bolts immediately and get it open, re-equalizing the atmosphere
>the AI, twirling its imaginary mustache, announces this was just a simple trick, and to expect stronger retaliation as the gang refuses to surrender
>forced to carry the catatonic body of Ilana, with a damaged yaozao, running in dumb mode and with no map of the level, the PCs steel their resolve and prepare to slide a comically large magnet on the AI's core.

>>96161279
Magnets are some voodoo-tech alright

>>96161258
>they question Ilana, which starts to act a bit absent minded
Surely this isn't a portent of bad things to come
>but Ilana, upon hearing the AI asking for her to be handed over, snaps and starts shooting up the room
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
>tfw painted Varuna minis, including Scarface in blue as Cutters proxy, literally month or something before N5 announced removing Varuna from the game

>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.

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.
