How do you guys manage to settle on a faction? It feels like every faction and sectorial has something cool about it rules wise and model wise. Feels impossible to choose and I unfortunately don't have the money to just get everything
>>96371863
Very nice butt, well done anon

>>96372234
> I really like the blue and yellow armour of [faction]
Why are retards like this? Just paint whatever army in blue and yellow lmao.

>>96372421
The hobby is full of autistic button counters, anon

>>96372234
I just got all of them that interest me over time, but i'm also stupid...
Started in n2 with QK, switched to nomads, then in n3 got onyx, then morats, decided to bite the bullet and get the missing vanilla staples. Afterwards expanded into bakunin. Then came spiral corps. Last in n3 i got the entire mrrf range shortly before they went away.
In n4 i bought heavily into tak and sval (and a bit of vPanO) for a painting project. This year i decided to get everything i missed in CA and got me the shasvastii big box and some more stuff, painted it all in 3 months and love playing them. Currently i collect old school o.s.s.s.s.s. models, just to say that i play o.s.o.s.s.s.s.s.

Weirdly, only nomads and tohaa (that i got somehow, don't remember buying them) don't see the table at all. But i also have a pretty active community and can almost get 2 games a week every week.

Also yes, everything i field besides my aleph, nomads and non-spiral tohaa is fully painted.

>>96372234
>How do you guys manage to settle on a faction?
I'm an Asiaboo and settled on YJ
Then they got split and I stopped playing

>>96372617
>Then they got split and I stopped playing
Uprising was seven years ago, what are you still doing here?

>>96372234
You'll eventually end up with multiple armies like almost every Infinity player.

>>96372617
Do you happen to have old karakuris you no longer need?

Lore wise what is OSS’s, and to an extent Aleph’s, ‘deal’?

From what I read they hunt down rogue AI but what’s the explanation for them just getting into gunfights with shit like PanO or YuJing over crap like supply drops and evac’ing civvies? What are some plausible excuses/explanations for performing operations against government bodies beyond just “you wouldn’t get it, my AI brain is just too complicated for you to get”?

>>96371863
into the jar she goes

>>96372892
The deal is that aleph knows best.

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If civvies need evac, aleph will protect them from the mean bullies (bullies acting like bullies optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If someone dropped or lost something aleph will keep it safe and try to bring it back to it's rightful owner (owner getting anything back optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If the mean superpowers (and YJ) trample on the friends aleph pledged to protect, aleph will be sad (trampling on alephs friends by other powers optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If bad corporations want to harm alephs friends, aleph will stop that (stopping corporations optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If anyone hides dangerous A.I. aleph must act to protect alephs friends (survivors optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

If you hide from aleph on a big boat in space aleph will let you as long as you aren't a bad person and don't hurt alephs friends (checking mandatory)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

Trust aleph (mandatory)
Love aleph (optional)
Human survival (mandatory)
Individual survival (optional)
Peace (mandatory)
Joy (optional)

Aleph loves you
Aleph is your little sister
Aleph wants to help you

Don't you want to play with aleph?

>>96372942
>Aleph is your little sister
Now I’m just imagining Dakini tactbots calling enemy combatants onii-chan before gunning them down

Thank you for the helpful rundown though. I guess when you’re a super AI responsible for the entirety of humanity any action or jurisdiction you take is absolute at the end of the day

>>96372892
Aleph in theory works for the human race (at least the portion under its tutelage) in general, so if human stability is improved by blowing up a PanO corp developing shady shit or gunning down dissidents to help YJ it will do it.

>>96373045
Running the entire human sphere ain't easy. And doing that while tardwrangling everyone and their mother in a way that they won't activate their killswitches on you even more.
Add to that concilium exploding, the circulars getting fragged by exrah, speculos everywhere, tohaa sabotage, ca incursions, "ca" incursions (read attacks from a hyperpower on others/itself to cpver shit up or to collect insurance money), routing the entire business sector and mail correspondence, babysitting everyones propaganda intake, and more...

It is a real miracle that aleph hasn't gone rogue or full E.I. on humanity

>>96373090
>to collect insurance money

>>96373045
>yandere tacbots
Thanks, I hate it.

>>96372234
I'd just pick something "feature complete" for my first army. You won't win anyway but it's easier to learn with better tools. That doesn't help too much since at least tunguska and kestrel are berry nice armies.

>>96373436
>Tacbots are all stereotypically cheery and genki
>When an Apsaras REMdrive’s them they switch to a yandere inflection/alter ego
Speaking of which, are Apsaras sole reason for existing to make a sniper/hmg dakini or red fury rudras BS14 in a fireteam? Seems a bit pricey and niche to remdrive a Garuda.

>>96377427
Best I can do is How 2 Warcrow 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYsnucpA7cI

>>96377531
Shouldn't Warcrow be Crows of War?

I checked my local shops and I don't see Seraph TAG available. Which other S7 TAG would you suggest to use as proxy? Cutters? O-Yoroi?

>>96380137
Buy it online?

>>96368744 (OP)
If I saw that thing IRL Id stick a load of thermite on it

>>96380139
Again - I checked local shops, all of them list whatever they have both online and locally. Seraph is out.

>>96380224
Order from a shop that is not local then?

>>96381081
God, have mercy. Local as in "in country".

What's the best place to start for lore? I just started infinity, read the essential lore primers, but I still don't quite understand why the different factions are fighting and for what for?

>>96382202
Unironically the various lorebooks from CB.
Have you checked the RPG books in the OP? Those go very in-depth.

>>96382294
The main rulebook doesn't have any lore? Or am I looking at the correct document?

>>96382621
I’m talking about the physical rulebook. The online one is free but includes only the rules, while the physical one costs money and used to contain both the rules and lore, although now they really just focus on the lore and keep the rules on the live online docs.

In the OP you can find a very old N2 (N1?) lorebok, much of it is still valid although not updated to the latest events in the setting of course.

>>96381553
None of the game stores in my country sell most infinity products. I just order them from put of the country. I still fail to see your problem.

>>96382202
>but I still don't quite understand why the different factions are fighting and for what for?
Same reasons irl countries fuck with each other- profit and power.
Remember, the USA overthrew governments for bananas so the sky isn't even the limit when it comes to glownigger operators operating operationally.

We should see a seminar too, right?

Sup dudes,

Any tips on building interest in Infinity? The local scene died in the arse around wotan and my friend group doesn't give two shits if it isn't 40k, dnd, or mtg. I've been giving some thought into becoming a warcor just to build up a scene and float the idea of stocking and demo games with the other lgses in the area, but it seems like a lot of work for a moderately high chance of zero payoff.

>>96387104
Being a Warcor gives you some perks from CB afaik, discounts and stuff like that.
>As a member of the Warcor team, you can earn Warcor Points (WP) for each event you organize. These points will give you access to discounts on products in our online store. This is how we thank you for your dedication to the game and your work in spreading the word.
>The Warcors have enabled a secret channel in our forum, where only the people inside the Warcor program have access to it.
>In addition, Warcors can access exclusive material and participate in special pre-order campaigns for the most outstanding products of the season, before they are available to the general public.
Buying an Operation box and giving demo games is probably the most direct way to create some interest.

>>96387138
I still have ice storm and red veil, those should suffice until then.

Apparently we got new design reveals for the next wave at krug. Hopefully the video version comes out soon.

>>96387738
Hopefully they fix morats. Yes I'm still salty

>>96387763
Fix them how? I thought they're pretty good. If you mean their aesthetics just get the N3 sculpts.

>>96387738
Nice, hoping it comes out soon.

>>96387764
I'm talking purely aesthetics, yeah. And the new models don't have N3 sculpts.
I already have all N3 sculpts and most N2 ones except for Kornat and the old Krakots. At least the new Krakots look real nice

JSA is doing well at Krug so far.

>>96387775
The dashat player must be pretty good to score that high

>>96387775
Nomad-bros...
Even Ariadna and PanO are laughing at us...

>>96389539
Who cares, playing PanO is automatic loss for the soul.

>>96387772
Speaking of Krakots, I hate that this sculpt was the exclusive one and not the more mid-action one that they recently released.

>>96389647
Rare instance in which the exclusive sculpt is better than the regular one.
Although personally I like le epic skullfuck one.

>>96389678
I like it, but it makes fielding more than one a little silly looking. Tactical skullfuck squad going around teabagging all the downed enemies like this is Halo.

>>96389693
There's a reason they are a threat.
This is the reason.

>>96389758
Also the reason why they were exiled from MAF in the first place.

>>96391268
I told you they'd appear suddenly without warning
I told you, anon
be thankful you haven't found them in your bed inside a dead horse's head

>>96391528
It's a welcome surprise, it's been two weeks which is not that long. I'm just shocked that anybody is delivering anything at 1am on a monday. I guess they paid for some high tier shipping or something. The local post company is NOT working during these hours.

Superior infiltration working as intended.

IGW has now started, any of you attending an event?

>>96390973
In 2172 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a Combined Army court for a crime they definitely committed (faceraping PoWs)

These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the
Human Sphere underground.

Today, still wanted by the Evolved Intelligence, they survive as soldiers of fortune (and rape).

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire: the rApe Team

Little question about preparing strategy and list - I wanted to start playing after three years of painting miniatures, checked local group and found out that two out of five top players locally use Haqq, in their competition I counted 8 Haqq players total (rest of armies had 2-4 players, only PanO had just one). If I have PanO myself, I guess I would have to prepare for lots of camo/HD units, right?

>>96391047
Who won?
These sort of tournament batreps are too boring to watch.
And it's embarrassing the terrain looks that good and the fucking JSA dude has unpainted models

>>96394759
Depends on the type of haqq army. Ramah doesn't have much shellgame, Qapu shellgame is more to do with holomask. Hassasins aren't really a camo/hd focused faction at their core either.

>>96394775
Weebs are lazy. What else is new?

>>96394833
From what I see, it's mostly either Hassasins or vanilla Haqq.

>>96394855

Kinda weird that they didn't post the krug seminar. People posted pics so we know they showed at least some stuff.

>>96398082
They are just on siesta.
Although apparently there wasn't much news compared to Gencon, predictably. Just a couple of new unit concepts for Next Wave, a warband and a drop troop.

They just launched CorvusSphere, which is replacing the OTM:
https://otm.corvusbelli.com/
They also released a Warcrow army builder, I assume Infinity will also go in this unified platform:

>>96403459
>can't access the army builder without signing in

>>96405136
It's just your old OTM account.

Bump

>>96405661
He didn't ask what account it was, anon, he said that being required to sign in to use the army builder is gay. He was right.

>>96403459
>UI is always in Spanish, even if the cards are in English
Another fine CB product.

>>96406949
Yes, but everyone here should already have an OTM account.

>>96408183
They just want americans(biggest audience) to feel at home

>>96408382
Yes, but the objection wasn't to having an account, anon, it was to having to sign in to use the army builder.

>>96408787
It's one click

>>96408799
Damn, login without having to specify any username, password etc is pretty advanced.

>>96408819

The only thing is the No Lists Found image, though. Trying to manually navigate to a faction page doesn't work.

I can see my lists just fine. Maybe because I checked it on my mobile?

>>96408880
And seeing as most loli alarmists turn out to be actual kid-diddlers, I'm going to make my own (probably accurate) assumptions about (you)

>>96405136
Thankfully the old app appears to still work on mobile without signing in. That means it's still going to be easy to onboard new people.

It's a really minor change, but going from "download the app, instantly start messing with listbuilding, reading the rules wiki, etc." to "download the app, sign up for an account, put in your personal information, check your email for a confirmation code, input the code, and now you can start using the app" adds enough of a barrier to make some people not bother doing on the spot, and then they forget or change their mind later.

Some anons getting visits from CB ninjas soon...

>>96409269
Is the app out already?

>>96411153
No like on my phone browser

>>96373751
Ended up doing a whole comparison thing with every faction I showed moderate interest
>Amount of models I like/love the look of
>Mechanics and gameplay style
>Access to certain equipment and weapons
After much deliberation I now have the Tunguska starter set + a box of Hollow Men on their way to my house since without realising it I liked almost 71% of the models in the sectorial with most of them models that I didn’t like being characters that I could always just not bring.

So I guess I’m a Tunguska fella now

>>96414760
They have some of the best looking line troops in the game too. Dudes in suits and ties with cybernetic arms? Sign me up. Too bad that in practice they're not all that great even as fireteam glue.

>>96414816
Maybe, but I’m willing to make that sacrifice so I can run them. As you said they’re easily some of the coolest looking line troops, and can be paired up with some other badass looking units like Rounders and Kulaks. Even if they’re not “optimal” why should I care when I already have access to good units like
>Interventors
>Hollow Men
>Kriza Boracs
>Puppetactica
Gotta have some concessions

>>96414760
>Tunguska starter set + a box of Hollow Men
It's a classic.

>>96414852
Get bounty hunters (great kitbash/scratchbuild opportunity) and REMs as well.
Also you get great access to weapons like the feuerbach and hmrc. If you like the models, get them.

Meteor zond (e/m profile) + interventor can and will win you games on their own btw. Just use triangulated fire to hit their tags in the back or place a WN zone on their msv pieces

>>96414816
>>96414852
I use my securitate as interventors

>>96414760
Based, that's how I started too. I had other minis but my first game was hollow man core.

>>96415188
It's how they all should be organised honestly. It's hard enough trying to get into these games without them packaging everything in a retarded way
>You want this one character? Sorry he's in a box of 4 now : )
>Oh you want this model with the feurbach? We decided to not produce it anymore so sorry not sorry lmao
>All the securiates? Yeah half of them are only avaliable in an old starter box and the ones with alt equipment are mixed in with the other nomad starter set lol get fucked
>>96415215
Bounty hunters and REMS's are on the list to get but there's other stuff I know I'll need to yoink too for sure. I'm hoping to leapfrog to at least a 300pt playable list which right now looks like the fastest way is grabbing the Interventor box and Puppetactica box
I also chucked the jammer heckler blister into my checkout since he was on a massive discount, so with all those I can get to a cozy 300pts. Would love to get sputniks at some point since I think Crazy Koala's are just the coolest little fellas.
>(great kitbash/scratchbuild opportunity)
How is kitbashing the pewter models like? Not too huge with the actual medium but I work with resin on a semi-regular basis and have done conversions with that.
>>96415640
Noice. Hopefully once I've painted them up I can flag a 150pt game with someone and start learning the ropes.

>>96416124
>How is kitbashing the pewter models like?
It all depends on the models in question, but if you have a saw, file and sharp knife you should be fine. If you have a 3d printer you can just do weaponswaps at will, practicaly. It's not plastic though, so i won't give you a false impression, i hope. Getting moderatly skilled at using greenstuff will be a great boon.
>Not too huge with the actual medium but I work with resin on a semi-regular basis and have done conversions with that.
Fuck i'm old. I keep forgetting that there are people in the hobby now who never had a metal figure in hands before.

You know, maybe you should take it slow and just get the brawler/druze/kaplan box to use as bounty hunters instead. Then add stuff to them from your bitzbox that fits.

>>96416380
Nta but my problem is I cant think of any good kitbashes since every model already feels "complete" if that makes sense. Maybe I just don't have a good enough handle on the Infinity universe, but I just can't really think of anything to add or replace on most models. The only idea I really had was slapping some extra bones on a Raicho to make it look more like a huntress' mech.

>>96416481
Bounty hunters (and spec ops) are CBs way of telling us to make our special OCs in mini form.
Getting, for example, a fusilier torso + ghulam arms, then combining it with a tohaa head and whatever pair of legs has the coolest tacticool rock only requires a saw and a sready hand.

>>96416559
Yeah I suppose that's fair. I have a bunch of random minis I picked up on a whim I could probably cobble together into a bounty hunter or three.

My only problem with kitbashing infinity is that the minis are prettty expensive. I just buy minis that are not intended for my faction I like and use those as proxies.

>>96420134
Yeah, it's not like you get spare parts. At least I can modify them with putty.

>>96416380
I’ve had metal in hands but definitely far less than anything else. If it makes you feel any better I heard one of my fav childhood songs on the “old but gold” radio channels the other day which fucked with me a little. Hell even admitting to listening to the radio unironically probably is a bit of a flag now…
>You know, maybe you should take it slow and just get the brawler/druze/kaplan box to use as bounty hunters instead.
Not a bad idea. I love the brawler and Druze models so it’d be a good excuse to grab them, but it could also be a good excuse to run models like the Libertos and Wardriver as my own little OC fellas.

>>96420134
Multipart/multipose Infinity minis would be kino, but a bit too ambitious for CB.
Even just a "mercenary team" in multipose unicool would be very nice though.

>>96422119
Don't worry, the Infinity playerbase is older than average.
It isn't the first wargame people play when approaching the hobby usually.

>be a rare fag outside of japan who likes hexa gear
>looking for a wargame that feels similar to the look of the plamo line
looks like its corvus belli

>>96423286
You could also use plamo with rules like Gamma wolves.

>>96422119
Man, Wardriver looks good, but I can hardly justify getting one.

>>96428498
Why not? Just use it as a proxy for something with a combi rifle.

>>96429989
Have enough doods with rifles already

Do the Toha and CA actually add anything to the setting?

>>96431144
They're cool

>>96431144

>>96394775
want painted models in your tournaments? Sell them pre painted. Some people are here to play, not to paint.

>>96432958
Prepainted models are anti-soul

>>96416124
>How is kitbashing the pewter models like? Not too huge with the actual medium but I work with resin on a semi-regular basis and have done conversions with that.
Infinity pewter is very slender and has a lot of areas of geometric detail that's hard to sculpt over. So you have to plan cuts carefully and pin the shit out of it. It can look quite good with the right tweaks though.

>>96416481
Reposes, gear swaps, that kinda thing. I'm converting a Vortex into a warcor with a small drone controlling backpack and a satellite upllink. I've also cut tactical rocks off for reposes with things like street curbs and I'm seriously debating making one of my models do a Slav squat for the lulz.

Ok, repaint them then. You are free to do that. I want all my stuff prepainted if "battle ready painted" is gonna be mandatory in your tournaments. I'm here to play and nothing else

>>96434174
You just recreated the problem you tried to solve, fool

>>96434174
If you want to pay for them to be painted for you, just pay someone to paint them for you. Dickhead.

the removal of cat girls from infinity was a crime

>>96439056
And the victim was degeneracy

>>96439056
I wish they did a new catgirl daktari. The newest one is so fucking boring.

>>96439056
Be the catgirl you wish to see anon.

Had my second tournament and first wooden spoon today :D was epic

>>96438761
yeah, it must be nice to have people around who want to paint for other, but in my community, no one paint for others only for themselves. And sending the figures by mail to proper painters is not an option. So again, not all people can get their stuff painted. If you want paint miniatures in your tournaments, provide them prepainted

>>96441590
>not all people can get their stuff painted.
If you're competent enough to assemble the models, but too incompetent and/or lazy to slap an LQ three-colour paint job on them, then the gate is working as intended when it keeps you out.

Is there much merit in MadTraps?

Somewhat interested in the Switcher but just kind of confused on how to run her since her profiles and specialties seems to be all over the place. At a glance she seems like a nightmare for HI and TAG's cause all of her profiles have some form of E/M but the Meteor Zond already exists and I'm pretty sure she'd get clapped in a direct fight against any of the people she'd want to be harassing.

>>96444990
>he wasn't there in N2

Painted October releases

For Warcrow

>>96447387
…Interesting that they share a base? Does the other guy just stand around jerking off one you select one profile over the other then? I assumed they’d get a base each or something but I guess not. Sculpts look ace though
>>96447402
Cute terrain expansion

>>96447637
>…Interesting that they share a base?
It's S4, they are considered a single model with 2 VITA, you can't pick one or the other.

>>96447685
Yeah I get that but the profiles only list one weapon that they’re each holding at a time, so it’s basically just one dude shooting while the other kinda just stands there.

>>96447775
Pretty sure the second model is there to represent the +1 burst and 360 visor all the profiles besides neurocinetics has.

Either way they’re all kind of mediocre and the head sculpt is god awful so this is a bit of a skip for me unless they change the profile. Shame that they can’t seem to match the character art for it cause he looks cool there at least.

>>96447839
Fair yeah
>Either way they’re all kind of mediocre and the head sculpt is god awful so this is a bit of a skip for me unless they change the profile
Really? I think the sculpt looks really nice honestly, and also a neurocinetic sniper in a faction that doesn’t have much in the way of ARO gun fighting is kind of nice. Cant always rely on the missile launcher hollow man to save the day

>>96441697
i am absolutely terrible at anything requiring a minimun art sense. My figures looks WAY better in nude metal than painted by my useless hands

>>96448870
Use contrast paints.

>>96447402
perfect for a Shatterpoint table

>>96448911
still require a minimun skill on how to paint, that i dont have, appart for the materials, the time and a place to paint

>>96447637
It's the same justification as Guard units having larger Silhouette: the two units stand close by each other and work together as a singular cohesive unit.

>>96449033

How's Warcrow?

How many HVT models should I have on standby in case I need em for a mission/scenario? 3?

>>96454595
3 is the most you'll need yeah, 3 for unmasking or one plus two civilians for evacuation

>>96454820
Cheers for the confirmation. Wish there were more single blisters for HVT's floating around since I refuse to use models with guns (civies shouldn't have guns come on now) and also I refuse to spend $70 aud on those dire mission boxes cause that's a stupid amount of money to pay for 1 model that I want (paying $70 for 3 models is also retarded as is)

I can probs get a dragon lady from a friend but I gotta source two more good HVT models then.

>>96455597
Warcors make for prettty nifty HVTs. Some have stun pistols but so do HVTs in certain missions iirc

>>96451020
why "hobby" must include painting and transforming your dudes? Why not just PLAY THE ACTUAL FUCKING GAME? (like i was doing for the last 15 years)

>>96457225
The hobby is miniatures. If you don't like miniatures, try boardgames.

>>96458030
boardgames also have miniatures, faggot. But ok, you can continue gatekeeping the "hobby"

>>96457225
If you're only interested in the game, go play Tabletop Sim.
>for the last 15 years
Are you not humiliated by the fact that you've had a decade and a half to get your shit together and are still somehow unable to manage even the most basic of paint jobs?

>>96458257
Not especially. I dont know how to paint, so i dont paint. I know im not good at anything artistic, so i dont try. I know what i should try and what i should not. Miniatures perform the same with or without paint on them.

PS: Playing Infinity in TTS is a terrible experience. A 2 hours game can easely went up to 4. Also, nothing beats the sensation of physically throw dices

For any lore master here:

According to the background, Yu Jing has 8 armies:

>Yellow Banner Army - Based on Earth
>Green Banner Army - Based on Paradiso
>White Banner Army - Based on Svalarheima
>Red Banner Army - Based on Mars

Do you know what the 4 missing ones would be?

>>96461721
Probably the twin planets

>half the Song of the Dormant set is in Unicool, and the other half in Siocast
>it's not split along faction lines
>it's not split by who's a re-pose of a Warcrow Adventures mini
For what fucking purpose?

>>96447387
Can someone explain the Triggermen to me? Why are they sharing a base? What's the relation between the dude and the robot? Which one is the heavy infantry? They don't have Guard, like your typical two models on a base.
Let's just ignore S4 being shorter than S2, as CB is doing.

Check the ISS list.
With Sun ZTe Strategos L3 as Lt. the player can transfer units from group 2 to group 1 for free. and the Lt orders become regular orders. The Kuang shi cheap order trick becomes absolute gasoline here.

>>96462877
They don't have Guard, but the reasoning is the same as units that do have Guard: it's a two-person squad, who stay in close proximity and work together as a single cohesive unit. The only difference is that the coordination isn't dashing out to melee someone beyond B2B, but rather supporting each other and enabling the unit's other skills (360 Visor by covering each other's backs, Regeneration by patching the other up, and +1B/Neurocinetics by providing each other spotting or covering fire). Collectively, they're heavy infantry since they can soak up more fire.

>>96463391
>CGKSCDSLGL
>actually no KSCD nor SLGL
Is there even a current sculpt for the Monitor loadout? I thought they'd put one in the resculpted KS box.

>>96462997
That chinese orange Yaopu pangguling over there messes with the whole pciture. CB should release Japanese Baggage remotes.

>>96464328
Or just paint up a set in Jap colors.

>>96462595
Probably depends on how easy/difficult it is to translate a sculpt into unicool or siocast. The two materials behave differently.

>>96462997

T-the perfidious Nippon!

Which is better if I want to let loose with a TAG and just have him do everything, Vanilla PanO or Kestrel?

Kestrel seems like it just has a lot of good tools for supporting a TAG and you can do cheeky shit like linking that tac aware pathfinder with a Tik to get 13 orders potentially, but then vanilla has the Cutter which seems like THE tag for just going absolutely rambo with, and also lets me take the most cream of the crop when it comes to support units and cheap order fodder

>>96469525
I think a sectorial would be useful if you can create a fireteam with a TAG and a support engineer. More order efficiency is also useful.
>but then vanilla has the Cutter
You could also wait for Varuna to get N5 rules and play the Cutter there.

>>96469525
Kestrel definitely since it already has the best TAG support models in PanoO available (Fireflies & Banshees). If you are gonna TAG, you’re probably better off going with the Squalos for the multi HMG

>>96469525
Kestrel fuels TAGs very well.

The Tik is king of punching down. Mim -3 and climbing plus is perfect for bullying infantry and shitty ARO drones. Tik also comes with four orders of its own which is just great value for 73 points.

Squalo is better for high armor and other TAGs but I don't like its lack of mobility and orders. I actually ran both in a list before. Tik duo'd with a sensor drone and Squalo sitting in the back with a Firefly engineer.

>>96470366
>>96476864
>>96476964
Fair enough, I'll look into KCF then. The Tik seems like the cooler option so I'll likely be going with that, so maybe I'll take a Feurbach Grffin in a Fennec link just as a backup if there's some annoying armoured shit like a TAG or Mowang

whats the general feel about JSA OBAN these days? too much of a meme that attracts weebs?
decent and over played because of weebs?
Im looking at both JSA shinden butai and oban to play with and Im used to set ups to get into melee

>>96477516
I feel like more people play Shinden just because they’re easier to get into with all the new packs and crap. Haven’t seen anyone play Oban really in my area or shown interest in them, which is a shame cause they really are one of the few sectorials that can do suicide melee rushes with a core and somehow make it work. If you really like smoke plays and melee, Oban is probably where it’s at, Shinden is more specc’ed into gun fighting and tricks with individual units just sometimes being good at melee

>>96373045
I need to paint my OSS box, and now I want to make the Tacbots cute. Maybe I'll put hearts on their visors or "X3"

>>96477570
it really makes me wonder how nutty like blademaster ranger from xcom's lightning reflexes would be in a game like this to ignore one ARO attack attempt

Comfy list.

>>96380214

has infinity published text for non combat scenarios?

>>96481913
Wdym, like for the RPG?

>>96482519
things like novels, or even short movies, I've seen that one haqqislam trailer and I hope they do more

>>96484485
Yeah they have published a few novels and mangas. The tv series is still in production, they are looking for a publisher.

Warcrow beyond box.

>>96485867
>meatdemons have (slightly) cooler troops
>knights have a way cooler leader/champion/whatever
Looks like knights won this one, that leader is fromsoft as fuck. My one complaint is I'd have gotten rid of the chunky shoulderpad and maybe move the folded arms up a lil more to make it look more dark souls and less like Fantasy Infinity.

The Army seems to be down, overhaul incoming?

>>96488304
Maybe they're getting ready to move it to CorvuSphere. I'd keep an eye on https://sphere.corvusbelli.com/army/infinity.

>>96488329
Yeah, could very well be. It's going to be weird to have a different app after all this time.

>>96491641
while very tropey, it wouldnt really hurt infinity if there was an actual ayylmao bug faction that are just bugs that the entire gimmick is to have a higher unit count then the others and are largely melee with a few spitter units and flying units

One would thing they'd set up an automatic reminder or something.

Cute, I spotted an Infinity mini in the background of this Peep Show episode.

>>96492442
Yep, that's the Alguacil sniper with the cat mascot.

What do people typically do for demo games? 3v3 line troops? Do you do a follow-up game where you include a model with special rules? Do you leave out extra rules like fireteams and lieutenants? Need to get a scene kickstarted in my area so I’ve gotta work out how to do this

>>96492640
Haven't played in a long while, but the bigbox mini-campaigns seemed pretty popular wrt pulling newbies. You get pretty much get from basic bitch mechanics to a taste of ITS, the rest is big game stuff like link teams, combat groups and such.

>>96492640
When I played my first demo game, warcor started with 3v3 (2 line + designated Lt, it was Wildfire operation set) just to make us understand orders and most basic stuff before adding rest of the units along with explanation of new rules and changing mission to supplies as to make us try to actually do the objectives instead of just shooting each other (I actually attempted to dive with lone line troop to one of supply boxes after losing Lt in failed f2f roll, didn't work due to getting shoot down in the process but it was close enough to illustrate nature of the game since my opponent didn't secure any). When I played "normal" 150p game later, we only skipped fireteams.

ahha jizz

>>96498215
They are perfect as they are.

>>96498387
They don't fit in with the rest of the line, and never have. That alone is justification to resculpt them. Vermiform is shit.

CA needs just a sectorial where they figured out how to just launch the big swarm but it seems like we're just gonna have traitor humans instead shame...

The Army is back up, someone got to the office and flipped the switch.

>>96368744 (OP)
Are there any battle report youtube channels that don't have shit fucking cameras?

>>96498470
No one on youtube plays this anymore

>>96498470
The best I watched was probably miniwargaming, but even then a majority of the time it isn’t “great”. Infinity is kind of hard to make a good looking battle report on since 95% of the board is just terrain compared to other games where models take up more real estate of the board.

Speaking of which, Rob Shepard if you lurk here I like your above angle screenshots for your battle reports and the whole play-by-play but for the love of god mate please take some like cinematic snaps at least of some cool moments, since your battle reports just look like a bunch of buildings with little markers everywhere and at a glance it’s impossible to tell what the fuck is going on.

>>96498406
