So is this laser cut MDF terrain stuff as good as it looks? I'm seriously considering ordering the terrain box from BP Laser, it seems to be the best deal going and really perfect for Infinity...

Thinking is dangerous. It can lead to subversive ideas. For instance, someone gets an idea to fit a full Haramaki link and a TAG into 300 points: JAPANESE SECTORIAL ARMY ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 0 5 O-YOROI Lieutenant HMG + Heavy Flamethrower, CrazyKoalas (2) / EXP CCW.

You should probably ditch the Securitate, as the Repeater is useless without a hacker, and the Securitate are overpriced anyway. You're also spending 0 SWC, which can be a problem. Ditch the Securitate, upgrade the Intruder to an HMG, and add an Alguacile LT, I'd say.

Nothing like fully painting my Charontid, only to drop it and have the stupid little back fin break off, and be impossible to put back perfectly due to the layers of paint!

How hard would it be to do a weapon swap on the caledonian volunteers? I want to put the grenade launcher on the volunteer with the heavy machine gun, but I would imagine the launcher is too wide? Anyone know of any alternate weapons that would fit well in infinity scale (aka not hero scale like warhammer)?

That's a tricky question to answer man. You could always just flatten/shave out the side that will be resting near his chest if it doesn't fit. I assume the problem is the cheesecake-ness of the Caledonian grenade launcher lady? Probably be easiest/cheapest/less risky just to try and modelling putty the sculptor's sexual frustration out of the clothes.

So I'm bringing a friend to the local ITS tournament, lending him my Yu Jing. He's only played several games, but what the locals don't know is that he's a drat good tactician with actual military experience. And he wants to troll the tournament scene I am a bad person After I helped him polish the list it ended up looking like this: YU JING ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 0 2 ZHANSHI Lieutenant Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 11) ZHANSHI Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (11) ZHANSHI Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (11) GUĬ FĒNG (WIP15, BTS-9, Hacking Device, Holoprojector L1) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife.

(25) GROUP 2 6 0 4 CELESTIAL GUARD (Kuang Shi Control Device) Combi Rifle + Light Smoke Grenade Launcher / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 13) KUANG SHI Chain Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (5) KUANG SHI Chain Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (5) KUANG SHI Chain Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (5) KUANG SHI Chain Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (5) TIGER SOLDIER HMG / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 35) GŬILÁNG (Forward Observer, Deployable Repeater) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (29) PANGGULING (Minesweeper) Electric Pulse. (8) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open with Army 4 It'll be very interesting to see how he handles this. BTW, do Spec-Ops count against the AVA of their base units? For example, if I take a Celestial Guard Spec-Op in vanilla Yu Jing, can I take 1 or 2 CGs more?

# ? Oct 14, 2013 02:03 |

That's a pretty nasty looking list. Spec-ops count as their own separate unit entry no matter the base unit so their AVA is always 1 and won't detract from other unit AVA's like CG or whatevs. I'm pretty certain about it. Not only that, you would end up with situations like not being able to take certain base units for spec ops in sectorials because of no AVA available (Eg. couldn't make a CG or zhanshi spec ops in a JSA sectorial because they have no AVA in those lists - which isn't the case).

Yep, that's a pure destruction list, you'll get rid of it but only at a horrible harm to yourself. I'm more objective-oriented and I'll be playing in the same tournament, using this: COMBINED ARMY ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 0 0 SKIÁVORO Lieutenant Plasma Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, CCW.

I do have some of the extra weapon bits from the 45th highlands, so I could try to see how easy it is to cut of the metal without making a mess of it. I don't think I have the skill to re-scuplt her, unfortunately. I would have to repose her entirely to get her to fit in with the rest of the army.

I was making insane saves tonight. A lowly Devabot out of cover saved three HMG shots, then a myrmidon took two boarding shotgun blasts at optimal range without blinking. I honestly would not have won if pretty much everyone didn't pass at least one more save than it would have been wise to expect.

Played a game on the weekend, my second with Vanilla ALEPH. Holy crap Dasyus. I had one that hung on throughout basically the whole game, dodging full HMG bursts and kiting poo poo around. When it finally did get hit - no matter, because it has NWI! Awesome. What it didn't do with much success however was kill stuff, but then it was up against Reverend Moiras with their ODD and Sin Eaters with their Mimetism and full burst AROs.

She's the Ariadna female spec ops figure, and also at the same time the named character Isobel McGregor as part of the Dire Foes line. She'll come in a box set with the female Yu Jing spec op / special character and a civilian model. The Dire foes characters / boxes will also have special missions revolving around them. S.W.O.R.D.
