Both of those things are useful, thanks again Pierzak. It's kind of frustrating that arguably the best thing to get people hooked on this game (high res pictures of their models, brilliantly painted) is hidden in the sidebar under the name "temporary catalogue".

is there a way to switch how models are listed in the army builder, similar to Forward Kommander for WMH or the Malifaux crew builder? Not having everything in a single list seems so goddamn clunky

Use MayaNet. On another note, the Umbra Legates is a loving Beast and I'll never leave home without one again. "I'll just sneak up behind your Janizary and CUT HIS loving HEAD OFF!" "Oh, you ARO'd my hacking attack and gave me a stroke? I'll just limp around the corner and BLOW TWO GIANT HOLES IN YOU, YOUR BUDDY AND YOUR LITTLE ROBOT FRIEND THERE!"  So much ownage.

Rules question, if a cc weapon has Dual Action (meaning it hits twice) and poison, do you have to make the poison check for both of the hits? If it were to hit both times that is.

If it were to hit both times that is. No, the example for Poison is a DA/Poison weapon and the victim, hit once, needs to make two Armor rolls and one BTS roll.

Do PanO Auxbots provide orders? or is it just 1 for the Auxilia and their bot? Im assuming its just one, but I fail to see the benefit of auxili spam then.

osirisisdead posted:I don't think they really know what to do with 83% growth. It's the peril of successful business. Putting up an army builder app that apparently asks the server to run a query against a database every time you click anything seems like the wrong thing to do. Putting things like rules documents on their server and not using a content delivery network so their server doesn't get hammered into the ground likely isn't a good call either, or get knocked offline by a random DDoS in general. It is like watching someone paint a miniature with glooppy un-thinned craft paints straight from the tube and then sealing it with gloss varnish.

I don't know enough about SQL optimization techniques or how the thing is optimized to comment on the specifics. If I heard Bostria right at the Dire States Rumble, they only had one webdev working on the whole site redesign and Army 5, so he got swamped and overwhelmed and burnt out. So, it's going to be a while while they get some more devs up to speed. I like writing my lists by hand, anyway.

Been fooling around with the Army5 once it stopped bleeding from the nose every time I added more than 4 units and came up with this TAC list. Aleph────────────────────────────────────────────────── Group 1   10  0  1 ACHILLES Spitfire, Nanopulser / Pistol, EXP CCW. (2.5 | 75) AJAX 2 Combi Rifles, Nanopulser / AP Heavy Pistol, EXP CCW. (39) THRASYMEDES Infiltrator (Infiltration) Submachine gun, Nanopulser, Flash Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW . (27) DEVA Lieutenant (G: Synchronized) Combi Rifle, Nanopulser+Devabot / Pistol, Knife. (27) DEVABOT Heavy Flamethrower / Electric Pulse. (4) AGÊMA Marksman MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 30) EKDROMOS Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, DA CCW. (28) NAGA (Minelayer) Boarding Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 27) THORAKITES (Forward Observer) Submachine gun, Chain Rifle, Flash Grenades / Pistol, Knife. (13) THAMYRIS Hacker (Hacking Device) Marker, Nanopulser / Assault Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (8)5 SWC | 299 Points Open with Army 5 Felt like a fun mix. A few heavy hitters, 3 specialists, A visor, moderate hacking area coverage (and help for the Ekdromoi drop, no netrods. I really wish Nagas had a FO option, but then Dasyus might see even less play than none. It just lacks smoke, I guess.

Are any of these armies recommended for new players to both Infinity and the general table top gaming?

Probably not Combined Army or Aleph, since they both have a ton of special abilities on their troops. Otherwise any faction will work if you start with basic line troops and work up (the Operation Icestorm approach).

Nah, even those aren't bad. Really you should be learning the basic mechanics with line troops as Corbeau said, so special abilities shouldn't come up until after you're good with that. Most special abilities build off of the core rules, so the biggest hurdle is remembering all the ones you've got, which I still mess up pretty frequently.

My Wu Ming forward observer continues to be an all star player in every game I have run him in. THe Pheasent seems to be really over coasted for what he can do, is it the Mono CC weapon? I have yet to get him a chance to use it and even if I did he does not seem that good in a CC fight anyways. I was building lists for my Combined earlier and I noticed that Doctor Worm got boosted up to S3 . Is that a mistake or did they bump him up for realsies?

Otherwise I wouldn't have put the Kiang Shi control device in there. This is just the stuff that the store had that was worth picking up. But thanks for the advice on the Ninja anyway. Those look sweet. Not a big fan of the color scheme though.
