Had some great games tonight, Lupe Balboa is tons of fun to use and works, really, really well. My Hellcats are a bit on and off with deploying from AD3, but it's so useful in YAMS. E: We couldn't get over how much was in the box though, great value. E: Some of tonights tables, we added some things to the sides/corners after I took this photo, plus some scatter in the middle, so they looked a bit different at the end and we shuffled them around after each game to keep things going and fix any terrain mistakes on the fly. We're looking into getting a printed mat or something so we have an urban floor to work with, rather than the green. Flipswitch fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Alright, so I've made my first army ever using the ALEPH starting kit, any ideas on how I could improve it? Aleph | 6 models ________________________________________________________ Dakini Tacbot Combi (13|0) Dakini Tacbot Combi (13|0) Asura Lieutenant (73|0) Deva Hacker (35|0.5) Naga Sniper (39|1.5) Dakini Tacbot Sniper (27|1.5) ________________________________________________________ 200/300 points | 3.5/6 swc open with Aleph Toolbox : http://goo.gl/mlhuAI As a footnote, we're playing 200 max probably for now.

Drop something to get a few more orders in there, I'd really recommend dropping the Naga if you can to get in some Netrods to get at least 7-8 orders. If you're learning to play though, just do battlebox-vs-battlebox games until you are both ready to push to 200pts.

Most of it isn't built with the only completed things being those towers and bridges. So they'll look excellent in a week or so. I've been giving demo games for the past few weeks to promote it and the tables have done almost all of the work to attract interest, it's been great. I also have been speaking to local printers about getting 4x4 mats printed, so our tables look a bit more immersive without the green flock, I just need to find some templates.

So, since coming back to Melbourne I haven't found anywhere to play, and apparently there is a tournament coming sometime next year that I might go to just because I really want to get some games in. It's 250pts, which I've never really played up to before, though I have more than enough units to play around with a list. I wanted to go with someting pretty straight forward since I'm still relatively new to the game though. What do you all think of this list: MILITARY ORDERS ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 0 1 KNIGHT OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE Lieutenant Spitfire / Pistol, EXP CCW. (2 | 58) SPEC. SERGEANT (CH: TO Camouflage, Infiltration) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 39) KNIGHT OF MONTESA Combi Rifle + Light Grenade Launcher / Pistol, AP CCW.

(3) 5 SWC | 249 Points I think its ITS rules.

If it's ITS, you need specialists. You've only got the LT (Sepulchre is the Holo one? Acting will negate the benefits then), and a 12 WIP Machinist. Palbots can't do objectives.

Just got a grip of the scatter terrain I've bought for our group at the store, this is about 2/3 of our table scatter before we use the stores public gaming area stock. I'm not sure about gluing the barricade fields onto the barricades, we've been toying with the idea of making them hackable for objectives. That's one building...

Lost 6:13 on VPs yesterday, but the game was surprisingly fun. I'm getting better at actually getting turns done in a reasonable time (progress! ) and lost mainly by a brainfart, forgetting to plant 2 monomines in a perfect spot right next to a Myrmidon squad that went on to gather 7 VPs next turn Also, had a LOTR/Hobbit/whatever it's called these days tournament in the same club and holy gently caress do I feel like a bum. Those guys have 60+ minis each and 90% of armies were painted, with the odd primed squad or monster here and there. Like half of the Infinity games locally are played with the Steel Police* and I'm not improving the average. Time to shape up for the next tournament.

Having your skirmisher die with mines still unused on him is a big waste! Especially against slippery targets like ODD myrms. Mines ignore their best defense and can be used to herd them toward your MSV2 ARO troops, if any.

My friends finally talked me into joining a small infinity group, and being a crackhead about this sort of thing I went balls deep and just ordered this army. It's got an army code underneath it, which I assume is for the army builder on their website eNozMFQ1NFQzVjOsMTRVMwBRGKQRhLQEU5ZqhkDSGKIDLAMA3wsOcw== But when I try to load via the load list button it just hangs. Is it misformated or something?

No, it's just for an old version. The option to enter codes from the main menu was implemented fairly recently. Switch to general Nomads and paste it there.

Oh rad, that worked. Thanks. Second, how is that as far as a balanced sort of army? I suspect I'll want to play control heavy in the end, but my buddy assured me this was solid and playable.

# ? Dec 17, 2013 02:46 |

Frankly, I hope you haven't bought it yet. The army itself is OK and balanced (I'd shift the LT to one of the Alguacils if the SWC allows), but it's half Corregidor and half Bakunin, and you may have a bit of trouble getting straight into sectorials. If you're not planning on going sectorial soon or are OK with a larger purchase at that point, it's fine. But I recommend starting at 150-200 pt until you stop tripping over your own feet. BTW, what do you mean by "control heavy"?

Flipswitch posted:Uxia? didn't she come out months ago? She did. This will be a different sculpt for her other profile. There's been a bit of discussion that if they'd just given her a boarding shotgun there wouldn't be a need for a separate sculpt, but apparently they feel there's enough difference between the two that a 2nd sculpt is necessary. This new sculpt would also presumably eliminate her initial sculpt.
