Hortism posted:Wow, that's super unlucky. I think out of the five armies I've bought, I've only had one slightly messed up arm (curiously enough also on a bolt). Much better than the time I bought a box of necron warriors and half their chest pieces looked like they'd been melted... Yeah, I assume its just an aberration. I dont really get wound up about it, I just wish I had something to paint. I am going to a warmachine tourney today at a store that sells some infinity, I might buy a model to tide me over

Not a viking posted:Oh wow. I thought that was set in stone as a no considering the "all coordinated models need to have the same target". That is some powerful stuff! If the skill required a target that is true, but apparently the requirement to be in base contact with the objective is not the same thing as targeting, which apparently only applies to attacks.

How does Tohaa deal with Swiss Guard? Even after burning his TO off, I couldn't kill him with him sitting at armor eight. He also had really good BTS, so my viral weapons didn't offer any advantage. Edit: I'm also kind of pissed that they didn't remove the stupid fire weakness with the new rules, and instead added water pokemon. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 21:08 on May 30, 2015 |

Boarding Shotguns are pretty good, if you can get in close. Otherwise you're working with the standard tactics for factions without access to AP HMGs, which is to link up an HMG and hope.

Flipswitch posted:the fire weakness is a balancing factor to your guys having super suits This. Tohaa are really points efficient. As for killing a Swiss Guard... do you have to? You could also just pop smoke. If the Swiss Guard really has to die, then preferably you really want to flank him to get rid of the cover ARM bonus. Drop a Gao-Tarsos behind him, perhaps? Generally you want to circumvent your opponent's strengths, not confront them head-on, and PanO loves straight up firefights. Corbeau fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 30, 2015 |

Yeah im talking to dexe on steam atm and it sounds like the scenario had the Swiss in its ideal situations. The best bet I can give is to use anti-camo and anti tech stuff as best as you can which I know isn't a great response but it's the best thing I can recommend. E/M grenades/launchers, HFTs and co-ordinated orders are the best bet, it's basically a TAG in all but name so treat it as such. I mean it's cheaper than a few TAGs in the game and harder to kill than some as well!

Kinda wanna play with a Squalo in my next list and build around it. I'm not actually sure the Squalo is worth fielding if you're not using the HGL variant either, thoughts?

It seems liberating to just be able to freely use the Extra order and not be worried about lol. But yeah no flamer no hgl is a bummer. I used my drago a couple times last night in 300 points vs my buddies nomads. First 2 orders it died in ARO to a tsyklon with feurbach, managing to kill an intruder hmg. Next game I spent 6 orders on it to kill tsyklon and a gecko, only to have it get smashed by a tomcat DEP while I was suppressive firing. I need new dice

Flipswitch posted:Has a HGL and a MULTI HMG, doesn't have to roll guts checks, +3 ARM. It's a different profile. Sure. The point of the question is whether or not those differences are relevant to you. They probably aren't to me, at least not if you're passing on the HGL, so I'd rather have the Swiss 9 times out of 10. e: Specifically, I think TO Camo trumps +3 ARM and I like the Swiss' weapon loadouts.

Yeah the Swiss is a great model no questions asked and normally is my default choice when I want something and am maximizing my costs. I'm partial to playing my Squalo next week over it though because I don't need a top tier list for casual play and I fancy playing a shiny TAG. I'm also planning very much to use the HGL otherwise I think the Squalo is a dead pick over something like a Jotum. I'm liable to pick out an NCA list for the Squalo as well and Uhlans are Stingrays and therefore get neglected by CB and just using a Silhouette template is a bit lame. I am a fan of the extra STR and the +3 ARM for the Squalo, it helps it keep around in SF where anti camo threats can start to scalpel out the Swiss sometimes, it depends on the table ofc and sometimes Advanced ECM (sometimes meaning once) and MULTI comes up for the Squalo. The mobility comes up a lot as well. Both are good options but the Swiss is a lot cheaper and TO Camo is TO Camo. PaintVagrant posted:It seems liberating to just be able to freely use the Extra order and not be worried about lol. But yeah no flamer no hgl is a bummer. The order is gravy on Lt TAGs and is a good reason why the Jotum is 3 SWC, otherwise it can get out of hand very quickly. I'm just not sure that the Squalo itself is worth using for that Order, maybe in NCA with Bolts but that's a very specific synergy I've tried and I think a bit weak if fun.

I just don't have the space for a ton of resin or mdf stuff. They're quite sturdy but very light, so there might be some problem with containers slinging around unless you put some stuff in. The larger buildings are designed to take a brown Infinity model box for extra stability.

Reminds me of the first few times I played with my Cutter, I had the rear fins missing in my box but the very first fight it went into, a Chasseur suicide charged it and one shot it with an LFT.

I like the different Umbra if it's a mislabeled combi variant. If it's a BS then it's terrible because you can't tell the weapons apart and there's no HD of any kind visible (the hacker is the only BS loadout).

Nothing for me this month, but those Naffatun look rad. Just checked the old model and they looked kinda lame. Haq seems to be getting a lot out of these re-sculpts. A lot of their old stuff, like the Ghazis, were ridiculously outdated and pretty hideous.

Copy pasting from my metas facebook group: I need to see the Umbra in person cause it looks busy as anything. Croc Man looks great, really glad I never got around to buying the old MSR one in the past years, ace, just my Combi and Hackers that need a resculpt now CB! The Naffa look great, don't think they needed a resculpt but it's a welcome one. Woman should have kept her helmet on because apparently her boob plate isn't enough of a tell signal for some. I think the Intruder is the weakest sculpt, still looks good. E: Crocman has a cameltoe. Flipswitch fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Jun 2, 2015 |

I like all these new sculpts. The Naffatun in particular are super rad. I like that they have gear that looks substantially different to other Haqq infantry, and appropriate to flamethrower dudes. Edit: also great that there are four of them now. I always wanted more of these guys.

The whole regal silouette of the original umbra is lost in this model. I saw a documentary once about animation and one Disney animator told how it was hard to create dynamic movement for "stiff" models like Jaffar from Aladdin. I can see what he means because the new umbra doesn't look anything like the original one.

Well, nothing of interest for me this month. Not as much a fan of the new Naffatun as I thought, though there's nothing wrong with them. It's a pretty great design, but it would clash hard with the Naffatun that I already own.

Really hoping out now for the Combi and Hacker to get resculpted to complete the suite. Would kill for an Auxilia resculpt now too.

I'm not even sure I can claim to play this game anymore. My last game was against Genghis Cohen, like two years ago? But gently caress do I want all of these new models. Are these ALEPH 'NCOs' for Steel Phalanx or are they available to Vanilla? They look like Devas. Edit: The only faction I have no interest in is Ariadna, but even that resolve is crumbling with the Antipodes/Dog Warriors, Wulvers, Highlanders and Spetsnaz.

Yeah, apart from not having time to play wargames at all or maybe just x-wing or board games there is no reason not to play this. Get Op:Ice and convince some friends to  E: I have to admit I never got to try Necromunda and if your group is heavily into a campaign I can see the appeal, but I just can't imagine the (20 year old GW) rule set is even half as good as Infinity.
