Last time I saw an Interventor on the table, I shot it. ... But it was a relatively new player, so uh yeah not a gimme plan. Here's one way to fit in a hacker, though I'm not exactly thrilled at neutering the Magisters' CCWs to do it. code:

Nah, hacking is a lot more open ended than N2 so you actually want to bring them, but they're not mandatory. Depends on how your meta is shaped really. My meta is Nomad/info war heavy, so I bring them but I also like bringing REMs in my lists, so it gives me some more incentive. Speaking of lists. I'm taking these two Tuesday to play around, with the PanO list being our bye round list for the wooden spoon gunner to play against for that round on Thursday. code:code:

Why are you playing a Trauma-Doc? Maybe I'm just spoiled with Haqq, but seriously. Speaking as someone who avoided playing WIP 14 doctors in N2, a Trauma-Doc is not what I'd call efficient.

DJ Dizzy posted:I thought hackers were basically required because of stuff. They sort of are but for different reasons. In N2 they were required because if your opponent had one and you didn't you were hosed because you had no defenses against hacking. Now everyone gets a "dodge" so you don't have to have a defensive hacking bubble. However, now hackers do so much stuff that you want to bring one to do the stuff they let you do, but you don't have to have one just as a defensive measure anymore (mostly because they don't work like that anymore)

Anyone here got much experience with/against Rev Superior Kusanagi? I've never actually seen her on the table nor thought of using her. Just trying to suss out her profile, the +1 SWC as Lt doesn't seem too bad.

Crusader with Lft+Multi is what i'd proscribe, though not sure what army you are taking. I have usually just harrassed her over first and second turn if possible, if not; I usually bait 4-2 things I don't want to fight onto a flank, and then disengage. e> As for playing with her, I think she addresses in one way or another just about everyone's complaints about Moiras. Only problem I see is she tries to address all of them, and gets pricey. As a PanO chump I look at it and go, That is some awesome inefficiency right thar.

Yeah for sure, especially when we're packing Joan now she really looks poor. Granted the only way they actually compare is they're both characters, but at least Joan does something unique.

Whoa whoa, we have an errata? Where? Also, someone explain to me what the people going all "OMGWTF I can't order the word is ending!!!1" about Angel's coloring book are talking about? From what I know, It's been available for several days from various distributors, did something change?

Thanks for the clarification on the typo guys. I love the Unidrons but I really wish Combined had more access to another cheap HD besides the Morat Vanguard. I want to run those sweet sweet support softwares. I know it's silly ramping up for the EI sectoral when the next book has not been announced yet but it's the big reason I started Combined in the first place. Also the new paint scheme for CA has really grown on me. Painting metallics, blacks, and reds is really fun. How big is a Charontids? I noticed they are silhouette 5 which is the same as the Sogorat.

Pierzak posted:Whoa whoa, we have an errata? Where? Basically the order from the CB website went up this morning and they sold out within 20 minutes, during which the website itself locked out due to traffic. I know we sold ours (FSG) within an hour and I only got mine by them keeping a pre-order aside for me until I got in to pay for it. tldr people are complaining that they didn't get on the earlier orders and waited for CBs last minute pre-order and then missed out by the traffic stalling out the website.

As far as hackers, I don't know much about CA but you've got some baller profiles which are also hackers but they're also super expensive, I'm not sure what the cheapest hacker is (is it the Morat Vanguard) if you're just looking for a straight hacker like a Fusilier or Alguacil or something. E: Here comes a rules question actually from my end, because most Greandes don't have the Targetless trait, you need to have direct LOF to the target in order to throw them at the target without paying the Spec Fire penalty, correct? So I can't skim the grenade out of LOF so the target is in the template, he has to actually be the target in the middle of the template?

Charontids are quite large actually, the old Plasma model fits the new silhouette quite well, thanks to the alien head.

I doubt it. They have not given any indication of re-doing any of the sectoral starters and they had a new sculpt come out a few months ago with the same aesthetic as their other troops. Of course it could have been the last sculpt in the "old style" and we have yet to see the new Shasvasti stuff but I doubt it. I picked up the Malignos Hacker a few days ago and it's held up extremely well sculpt wise I think, the old Morat stuff in comparison did not age well at all and benefited greatly from the new art direction. I want a new Rasyat and Yaogat sculpts so drat bad. .

I'm pretty sure they'll resculpt Shasvastii eventually, since they supposedly want to rescuplt everything eventually, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

Does anyone actually have the list of changes? the tldr question I'm basically asking is do any of my PanO TAGs/REMs need rebasing? I know the ARMBOTs have base extenders and should do, what about the Dronbots and Cutter/Dragao/Jotum? 40mms? they fit on them just about. I saw this and thought of you Pierzak:  Look at that motherfucker go.
