If you're serious I might be interested in buying it!

A good option for Infinity terrain that we found are those yellow plastic half-boxes that are used for wiring and conduit. You can find them in most construction material, electrician supply stores, in square, rectangular and circular shapes. They have gaps cut in to hold place for plugs that can easily become doors and windows, too. I'll take a few pics and post them up here soon so you guys have a better idea.

So I'm thinking about going all Daylami...

Edit: dozens of shaolin monks

Actually shaolin monks look pretty baller. Would definitely play against that. Daylami sound great, do not on any account use a muyib or lasiq link team, I hear that those are terrible ideas.

Direwolf, my current inclination is to consider if I want to get rid of them, then see what ineptmule might want on sunday. If I do dump them and he does not want some/all, we'll discuss it.

Yeah I'm going to back the Lasiq rag, those models are awful, they pack the one in the starterbox just to get rid of the model because it doesn't sell, because it totally isn't ridiculously powerful and I don't at all wake up screaming because of that Climbing Plus, X-Visor, Viral Sniper Rifle wielding rear end in a top hat.

Edit: Guys, I've added a New Player List Building Guide to the OP but here is a link for those interested, it's a great post from a buddy of mine and it's a very helpful tool for newer players.

E: Added ALEPH to OP, also fleshed out PanO and YJ a bit and reworded a few sentences. Only three left to go and then I'll add some gameplay stuff for them. Although I think that part is actually less important because of how versatile the factions are in Infinity.

I just had a really evil thought. ITS scenarios give you access to a 12 XP Spec-Ops trooper. I play on ridiculous urban terrain. Super-jump costs only 4 XP. Haqq can field a Muyib-based Spec-Ops with Super-Jump, Specialist Troop, BS 14, WIP 15, and the standard Muyib loadout of Rifle + LSG, Panzerfaust, D-Charges, and Dogged.

:getin:

That's old news. No one expects a Super-Jumping HMG in a Shasvastii link. Or a Holo1 "Charontid" minelayer "LT" (actually the 65 extra points go towards a Sphinx). Or... you know the drill.

And the Muyib/Hafza Spec Op base is bullshit. I want a Caliban Spec Op so I can take it deployed :argh:

No Dogged/NWI/2W, no anti-armor weapons, and no objective-qualifying loadout. A Muyib-based spec op has Dogged, can threaten armor with the Panzerfaust, and qualifies for both main objectives by being a specialist and sabotage objectives by packing D-Charges. Kind of a huge difference there.

Ugh, played four games tonight and did quite badly in all of them, only one of which went to plan. I really, really struggle playing Bakunin in comparison to Corregidor, PanO, MO or NCA. I think I need to make some additional purchases to give me more options. I'm currently running 4x Rev Moira, 5x Riot Grrl, Custodier, Sin Eater, Zero, Prowler, Lunokhod and 3x Moderators. I'm thinking of picking up a Uberfall box and maybe maxing out my Moderators. What do you guys suggest?

E: Also Atlanata REALLY does not like it when you catch her and her Spotbot within an E/Mauler. I did giggle a bit as my Zero scampered off and recamo'd up. That was quite funny. I threw another one to cock-block Achillies too.

Moderators usually get relegated to order spods as they're quite low priority models and Bakunin don't exactly have the most expensive models in existence so it's easy to skip them I find. Moiras and Riot Grrls take different roles, largely as Grrls take shock troops, giving Bakunin some punch whereas Moiras are a bit more multipurpose. I use them a lot for tech-denial with the amount of EMP weapons they can bring. Custodier for me takes the role of Lt/Hacker, using the Lt Order for the hacker with E/Maulers to keep HI/REMs locked out of key zones.

As Pierzak said, Morlocks are pretty great. Of the seven point chain rifle variety. With markers on the moderators, it can also be really easy to add a Vertigo zond (and maybe a Reeaktion zond for protection) and go the dirty nomad route. Making the zero a hacker can also help in that respect - combat camo hacking is great. I love me some Bakunin, but have ever been too excited about Morias or Grrls. I prefer putting more models on the board, saving the elite, expensive models for Corregidor. Max moderators are a must for a decent and cheap link team. Make sure you have a spitfire in there!

Riot Grrls are very cost-efficient when it comes to HI, though! I've been tempted to get one for my vanilla list to get a 2-wound blunt instrument and not have to rely so much on finesse.

I've faced Suryats a few times, they're a decently mobile team with decent armour and BTS values and a good BS, but that's it. They're pretty vanilla though. No idea on Raktorak though, not seen him on the table, ever.

Yeah I'll invest into the Morlocks eventually, but I have a tricky time fitting them into my lists for the most part. It's more of finding a job for them outside of smoke throwing Irregulars.

I think the new suryats are terrific. Got narrowly beaten by a team of 4+kornak last month. They are now flexible and cheap enough to be a viable link, with raktoraks/suryats. If a good mate didn't have them already, I would be a space monkey player. Awesome, awesome options in the new book. Stoked to see their rejuvenation a la Corregidor.

I think a few chain rifle (or assault pistol morlocks) are a good addition to any combat group. It should be possible to run a 2-group bakunin list at 300. Moderators x5 with an MSR are a great link in my book. Riot Grrls I have never played, but look good. The big thing for HI is that second wound. All other stat changes in Infinity tend to be incremental. One modifier band tends to be the difference between an elite and a joe for example. (-3 range, BS 11 vs 14. Cover +3 ARM, LI vs HI) But that second wound allows you to bull through ordinary AROs and accept risk. The second biggest thing, IMO is 4-4 movement. I do not think there is any troop in the game that I would not give -1 point of ARM to upgrade from 4-2 to 4-4. Hell, maybe -2 ARM would be worth it.

Example of a horde bakunin list. I love writing these, I really should play an army with warbands.

My god I am not a fan of that list, but then I've never been one to play horde lists. I'll probably pick up the Morlocks at some point in the future, for now I'm quite enjoying the new style of play even if it's wildly unpredictable in how its working, mostly list refinement I think.

Here's a Q for people. I'm currently using MDP Resin bases for my Bakunin:
http://www.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=38_51_58&product_id=169
I'm only using Bases 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 at the moment though and haven't used any of the others yet but I was thinking of getting a set of these for my Corregidor and rebasing them: (they're just lightly glued onto proxy bases at the moment, regular 25mm)

http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/tech-bases-round-25mm-p-674.html

I don't think they look wildly different (painting jobs aside) what do you all think? worth sticking with one type, or picking up some of these? The riveted floor is approx same scale and the grating is the same sizes for the most part barring quality. What do you think? alternate is rebasing my current Bakunin but that seems like a lot of effort too.

E: Ordered some for my Corregidor, two army projects, I never play vanilla Nomads anyway. :negative:

My opponent generally plays ALEPH and likes to bring remotes and/or a TAG. This will be my first time using Airborne Deployment, but I'm hoping the EVO Repeater allows for pinpoint high-power hacking if necessary. And hey, even if that's not so useful, this way I can airdrop a hacker onto objectives. The downside is that my Lt. is super-obvious and will probably be a target even if my opponent doesn't realize he's my only fielded Lt. option, which is also something I've never tried before. Hoping the Oda is an effective bodyguard.

I've had this general strategy in mind for what feels like forever, but until now have never assembled the miniatures to actually do it.

Well Then, What Shall We Start With?
I played two games today and learnt a hell of a lot.

One of those things is that Penthesilea is an absolute murder machine. In one game she killed two Tiger Soldiers, a Zhanshi, a Celestial Guard and a Dao Fen(?) - some kind of big cheese Yu Jing HI. Mostly because bike movement and being impetuous make it very easy to take the long route round, avoiding AROs and then double-tapping with a Contender. I didn't even get to try her CC18 Monofilament CCW with i-Kohl 2, but I can imagine that's pretty tasty too.

That was after paradropping Tiger soldiers survived around 12 AROs each over two turns to calmly walk along a ledge and nail my Myrmidon Lt.

The first game was a good lesson in how getting cocky can turn the game about quickly; I had a strong position set up with an airdropped Garuda threatening a lot of stuff, but a mad Teutonic Knight ran up and shot a panzerfaust into its face. Then everything fell apart as one Order Sergeant killed a Myrmidon and all my Dakinis.

A lot of the new ALEPH units in Paradiso push the boundries of reasonable points cost, it's quite obscene and Pent is one the better examples of it. She's pure evil. Bikers are something people need to be very wary of when playing though, like the Fiday and the Shasvastii version.
