Save relevant guides or posts, the vast majority of it is just people uploading their painted miniatures. You can find anything like that on any painting forum.

(1.5 | 29)3 SWC | 200 Points Open with Army 4 I really would like to find a way to keep the Djanbazan w/ HMG but there is just not enough points. This should have all my bases covered on the specialist front at least and keeps it to one combat group. If I want the Djanbazan, I can drop the Jannisary add another HFT Naffatun and the remotes instead: HAQQISLAM────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 0 0GHULAM Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife.

I think the second list is the better option - MSV2 HMG is a better use of SWC and a more versatile unit than a HI who only has an AP rifle.

That's how I was leaning, the Djanbazan has been amazing in the few games I've played so far. Thanks for all the input!

James Woods posted:Yea? What do you jerk off to? I laughed. Kicked the living snot out of a Yu Jing player last night. 300 pt YAMS. He took some cheer leaders, a Hsien HMG, ninja, tiger soldier, and an O-yoroi TAG. Basically he went first and tried to just TAG blitz everything. Because I was playing an almost all camo list (now a couple pages back in this thread)this prob took more orders than it should have, although I risked a spektr sniper in a joint ARO, losing both it and a zero. Those were my only losses, my first turn I adhl'd his TAG, killed it, killed the hsien, killed a celestial guard hacker. His 2nd, he brought in the ninja and tiger soldier, managed to achieve 1 of his WIP-check type objectives. Didn't kill any of my stuff and I took out those models immediately in my 2nd turn. He resigned. So I ended on 3 pts for clearing and keeping control of my deployment zone, and preventing his goal of having more left than me. I might have got 'kill his lt' if the game had gone the 3rd turn, but it would have been a dick move to make him continue. (we are in a YAMS ladder though, so I could've used that point. He had 1 pt for his objective. We forgot to do double or quits - see prev remarks on ladder points. Lessons learned: I like my list, but even infiltrating, getting at his cheerleaders (in buildings in his DZ) would have been a bitch. It's so nice to have a bit of AD3 or similar mobility for those sort of targets. Chuffed I got to glue-gun a TAG though!

Looks like the details of Operation:Icestorm are now out and about, and even though I only want one model from the entire box, I'm somehow going to persuade myself to buy it. Though honestly for 90 Euros you get a nice bit of stuff. It'll be an awesome pick up for new players and I hope it helps expand the popularity of the game.

Yeah, I'll take 5 each in CA and Yu Jing, and 2 for each of their sectorial. And yesh, I don't even play PanO or Nomads, but the box will make for a great self-contained demo base, and I can always make an equivalent YJ/CA force if need be. Maybe with a different campaign?

For a total noob, it'll have everything you need to start playing. If you're at all interested in either faction I'd say it's worth it. Starter boxes are about 45 bucks online and come with 6 minis. You can sort of break the parts down using that as your basis... PanO: 3 x Fusiliers 1 x Svalarheima Nisses 1 x ORC Troop 1 x Akalis Sikh Commando Nomads: 3 x Alguaciles 1 x Grenzer, Grenz Security Team 1 x Mobile Brigada 1 x Spektr So two starters = 90 bucks. 135 - 90 = 45. The two extra faction minis would be 11 bucks each if bought individually. 1 x CSU, Corporate Security Unit 1 x Military Order Father-Knight 45 - 22 = 23. So for an extra $23.00 you get the below. 1 x Reverend Healer Game Mat 3 PanO Dice, 3 Nomads Dice Scenery Ruler Markers & Templates Introductory Rulebook If you're not interested in either of these factions I'd advise against it, as there's no reason to buy things you don't want. Otherwise, pick it up. You'll have one faction you like, and another for someone else to play (or for you to play later. Everyone gets two armies eventually). Angryboot posted:Are there any news about whether the fusiliers in that starter box being the same old sculpts or if they're gonna be new ones? I've been out of the loop for a while They will be all new sculpts. The minis are due to be revealed on Beasts of War from July 28th to Aug 1st.

parabolic posted:For a total Infinity noob, what do you all think of that starter? Will those models be a relevant part of expanding into those factions? Breakdown of the non-exclusive units in the box: 3 x Fusiliers - PanO stock infantry, therefore useful in any army size, useable in 2 of the 3 current sectorials (Neoterra and MO) 1 x Svalarheima Nisses - excellent elite MI with the very important MSV2 kit, not currently sectorial, expected to be in the 'Svarlaheima' sectorial in the upcoming campaign book 1 x ORC Troop - the stock PanO heavy infantry, not currently in a sectorial, often overshadowed by other more elite HI, but pretty good 1 x Akalis Sikh Commando - one of 2 AD3 troop types available to PanO, pretty drat hard. AD troops are a really good thing to have. In 1 sectorial currently, Acontecimento 1 x Military Order Father-Knight - new, but seems to be a HI, knights in general are a basis of one of the PanO sectorials and I assume he will be a choice for Military Orders. Probably a doctor model. 3 x Alguaciles - Nomad line infantry, again, very useful. In 1 of the sectorials (Corregidor) 1 x Grenzer, Grenz Security Team - new and unknown, probably not in either of the current sectorials 1 x Mobile Brigada - the only current Nomad HI, pretty plain but IMO very solid. Corregidor Sectorial. 1 x Spektr - TO infiltrator and therefore a very brutal model, not currently sectorial 1 x Reverend Healer - again unknown and new, likely a doctor, likely in the Bakunin sectorial with the other 'religious' Nomads Overall, pretty useful all round troops. Obviously a few things still unknown, but undoubtedly a good mix of skills and troop types for vanilla army lists.

Looks like I miscounted the league points: according to the official tally, I got 2nd after all. By a margin of 1 objective point over the course of an eight-week league. Store credit incoming!  I hope we do another escalation league at some point. It's really, really helpful to start small and build up with a new army, even though I've been playing the game sporadically for a year or two. If there is another league, I'll probably bring my as-yet-unassembled Tohaa. Also, interesting note on balance: both 1st place and last place were vanilla armies. All the sectorial players were fairly closely grouped in the middle. May not mean all that much, since I think the rankings correspond fairly closely to player experience (except for me, of course  ).

Played a game vs. forums member Baron Snow at our FLGS, Redcap's Corner. He won initiative, I took deployment. Every time he crit, I crit back, but for slightly higher due to PanO's BS. I never took an active turn; the PanO gun line on the reactive turn and the flood of critical hits put him into retreat. Didn't help that his YAMS were all "Kill the Enemy" type YAMS.

Ha, Infinity is the best game. People who come straight out of another game (usually 40k; I certainly did) are always disconcerted by the fact that 'your turn' is not purely painful for the opponent, you can get hurt as well. I always take the kill'em'all objectives for YAMS. Unless I had an infiltrator or drop troop in the perfect position to accomplish one of the other objectives, it is just more orders-efficient to take out the opposing force (and get points for it) I am playing in an ITS tournament in 2 weeks, my first. Missions are Quadrant Control, Domination and Annihilation if that's right. Basically the 2 where you have to have more points in position than your oppo, and the no-retreat kill-em-all mission. Plus classified objectives. What sort of units should I take (corregidor jurisdictional command)? I was thinking 2 AD troops and at least 1 remote, for mobility. Doesn't seem to be any need for specialists in these missions. I am intending to take a hacker though, I think there's a good chance of HI or TAGs at 300 pts. Got an awesome model, Luke from Dark Age Miniatures, to be a McMurrough proxy. Stand by for pictures once his base gets here.

Good luck in the tournament, I've played Correg a bit here to introduce our newer players in tournaments and I find I don't really take REMs (but they're in my Bakunin scheme and I can't cross the paintjobs or bases, that'd be sinning) but I often take a 3-4 link of Wildcats, usually Tomcats for mobile specialists, an Intruder, Lupe and fill my weaknesses from there. If you're playing 300pts, definitely consider a Gecko or two as they're nice bruisers for pushing up the table for other models to get poo poo done, and of course, take a customizable Spec Ops.  Sometimes I consider running a link of Alguas if I need to skimp the points, but I am a big fan of how versatile Wildcats can be, plus I love the sculpts.
