You don't get templates there, at least the Icestorm one was the wrong size (apparently because the normal circilar temple can fit on their buildings and allow AD3-5 to land there. Micro Art Studio do decent but expensive ones, you may also try one of the billion companies lasercutting tokens - Warsenal, Customeeple are the other official partners, but there are many more. Just check the circular - get one with 10 direction, there are some with 8 directions and those are for the previous editions. As for cubes(?), do you mean the paper containers/terrain? They're sold separately as well,but if you have access to a laser cutter there are many free/good patterns you can use for HDF buildings.

Same answer then buddy, you can get them from a few different retailers (Firestorm Games!) but the manufacturers are MAS or Customeeple. If you're in the UK, Wargaming Trader does a pick and mix style so you can get the ones you want.

I prefer printing the official ones on adhesive paper, sticking matte transparent foil (yes that is a thing) on top for protection/better look, and gluing the entire thing onto spare bases.

Brother and I bought Operation Ice Storm. I picked up the fusileer box as well. Been a while since I've played a mini game. Took me quite a while to remove flash and assemble, and my fusileer box is missing the male heads which was pretty disappointing. Trying to glue two spindly arms to the torso that meet in the middle to hold a big weapon was an exercise in torture. Just need to fill in some gaps with some green stuff and they should be ready for primer. Mini games are a lot of work!

Don't try to glue all 3 contact points at once, that's asking for failure. Instead, determine which arm goes first and which second, and glue the first one. New Infinity minis have square connectors so you'll hit the correct angle automatically. If you're not sure, attach the second arm dry to hold the first one in the exact correct position until the glue dries. Only then glue the second arm. Alternatively, assemble a combi Gaylang and a Shrouded sniper. It won't help and is a major PITA, but at least you'll stop complaining about fusiliers

Pictures and info is starting to come out of the Interplanetary. Notable tidbits that I can't confirm, but sound legit since they accompanied by new pics of other stuff: - Haqq is getting a Mechanized Deployment TAG in Acheron's Fall. Probably Khanate, but that's speculation. - Xeodrons and Overdrons are mini- and regular-size Batroid TAGs. - More Steel Phalanx characters coming (including Achilles v2 with ARM 6) and no Vedic stuff in the pipeline. Because Aleph totally needs more Greek characters. - Pictures strongly suggest that Mobile Brigada are getting a hacker profile and a ML or HRL profile. Because Corregidor totally needs more flexibility.

So. I grabbed the Icestorm box, but I need help goons. Besides FFGs mini games this is the first mini game I've ever owned where you have to assemble them, and painting is expected. What is a good resource for a mini game noob for assembly and paint? Tools, etc Thanks!

I tried this first, but all that ended up happening is the stuff didnt align in the middle and I had to reglue it. The square pegs didnt really seem to work for some of the small arm, worked well for everything else.

I do like the idea of perhaps giving Maggie Mechanized Deployment, so you could deploy those Haqq Mechanized troops with her; represent the braces it used to have.Corbeau posted:- Haqq is getting a Mechanized Deployment TAG in Acheron's Fall. Probably Khanate, but that's speculation.

I'll let you off because I cannot criticize someone for that. Also looking over this new stuff, kinda surprised the Xeodron is going to be S6, looks wise I thought he'd be a sort of Skirmishing REM, like a Zero or K9 style of REM.

That's odd given its shown with a combi rifle weapon option - you'd expect something a bit heavier. Really I'm just very excited for the possibility of a hacker option Mobile Brigada. Specialists are pretty much necessary for running a link in objective games.

To be fair though, the Gecko are armed with Combi Rifles as well so it isn't completely new. Although for an Alien TAG you'd expect something a bit bigger but I am curious on what the Red Fury is. I agree on the second bit as well, specialist HI will go a long way into making HI fireteams worth considering.

As for the Red Fury's stats... pure speculation, but I can't help but want either a B4 plasma weapon or a lower B plasma weapon with a +6 range band (like a shotgun).

OK, there are the heavy ones with the TAG-only weapons like Multi HMGs: Jotum, ARM10, BTS9, svarlaheima; Dragao, HMC rather than multi hmg, Acontecimento, otherwise a fairly ordinary TAG; Cutter, Varuna, TO camo; and Squalo, Neoterra, which is a standard baseline heavy TAG but can take a HGL. The lighter TAGs, with S6, lower armour and standard weapons are the tikbalang, acontecimento, considered a bit sub-par, and its special character variant, Toni Macayana, who is a better version, with climbing plus and I think mimetism, both HMG/HFT; Uhlans, Neoterra, camo and a feuerbach; and the Seraph, MO, with a spitfire and a HFT auxbot. I don't think I'm forgetting any.

Eh, they all have their uses I'm sure, standard Tikbalang is the only one I've seen people slate. (maybe because Acontecimento has access to the Guarda de Assalto at a lower price band and the Dragao at a higher) I'd say the heavy TAGs are more widely used but a lot of that is model availability - literally none of those lighter TAGs I listed has a model. I've also heard that TAGs are more rarely used in ITS type missions, because they favour mass specialists and high order counts. They had a vogue a couple years ago when lieutenant was a specialist for mission objectives - que a heavy TAG Lt option running around the board ramboing and achieving objectives. I haven't played against TAGs too much and they can be quite scary. Unlike, say, 40k, you don't need special kit to take out a TAG, but obviously a Jotum in cover is immune to combi rifles and will shrug off standard HMG fire all day. So I try to write lists with potential anti-TAG options, but that is a broad range of hackers (I'd take them anyway), AP weapons (I'd take boarding shotguns and/or multi rifles anyway), adhesive or E/M or AP/EXP weapons like panzerfausts and MLs. One really good way to take out a TAG is also to jump them with a good CC unit. McMurrough will gently caress a TAG right up, and a lot of the cheap units will at least hold it in play very well.

Yeah TAGs can be absolutely hosed by some things and with the way I've seen some tables they're just asking to be destroyed, they really suffer from close terrain and some of the tables I've seen in clubs basically make them unplayable.Weissritter posted:Can anyone do a rundown on the PanO TAGs? I have a cutter, but I would like to get another TAG (because I am a sucker for big robots/mechs). Weissritter posted:So the heavy ones are worth the points, while for the light ones, only Toni is worth it? For the TAGs: Tikbalang: Subpar, competes with multiple things for its points cost and output, namely Toni Macayana & The Swiss Guard for similar investment. Unfortunately Toni Macayana puts the nail in this TAGs coffin. It's not awful, it just exists in that weird space where there's no real reason to take it. Toni: Arguably our best TAG, she's hyper mobile (6-4 with Climbing Plus and not called the Sphinx), has Mimetism, a HMG, a DTW (HFT) and AP Mines for 85pts is actually a really reasonable cost, especially with ARM6, BTS9 and BS15. She's an excellent TAG and always worth upgrading over a Tikbalang if you're going to field a TAG. Seraph: The Seraphs gotten better in N3 but it sits in a really weird space in PanO. A TAG with an Auxbot gives it some really good plays when it comes to dictating AROs from enemy models and at ARM7 its still pretty durable whilst retaining the benefit of REM Presence. The fact its S6 is a nice bonus as it's a lot smaller than you'd expect from its profile. I think the upcoming sculpt might help changes peoples opinion on this thing, but it does feel a bit underpowered with just a Spitfire, HFT and EX CCW. Uhlan: Decent TAG, it's underrated by a lot of people despite the fact it's BS15, ARM6/BTS6 Camo REM Pres TAG. It does compete directly with the Swiss for its points but features better mobility at 6-4 and S6 based movement, the downside is that it's a bigger investment in points, you lose the ability to disguise what it is (it's the only CH: Camo model in the faction and on a 40mm base) and do lose out on the benefit of TO Camo. Voted TAG most likely to not get a date at the prom because of her gangly knees. Squalo: The only HGL TAG in the faction (back in my day the Jotum....*grumble*) which is really the only reason you'll take it. ARM8/BS15/BTS6/Advanced ECM makes it pretty durable but it's a heavy TAG so it should be. The other profiles aren't worth considering as the Squalo lost of its HFT and gained an AP Heavy Pistol, which isn't a complete nerf but losing the HFT stings, especially when you have to swing wildly between a HMG and a Pistol. Dragao: Has a HRMC on a BS15 ARM7 Platform, kept the HFT. Good TAG(tm). Utterly devastates things from long range which is basically where you'll be keeping it the entire game, really good if you play on more Euro-style tables than the US ones but it's basically there to shoot things across the table for 94pts. HFT is nice in emergencies but DON'T charge this thing across to use the HFT like a muppet in my club does. Jotum: Beast of a TAG and one of the top 3 in the faction, ARM10, BTS9 makes him an absolute poo poo head to budge when factored with REM Presence. The Multi HMG, HFT and DEP give him a nice variety of stuff to choose although my own experience I find the DEP gets fired and misses and then you never use it again.  Kind of cheeky for ARO splatters though against HI. The Jotum is really good about throwing its weight up the table as it can be a royal poo poo to actually kill, so you waltz it up, kill some mans, put it in Suppression Fire and cover it with Auxbots/Nisses and you'll have good times. Also costs 3 SWC to be an Lt for a very good reason.Cutter: The bane of bad players and newbies, NPE incarnate right after the Avatar but probably before Achilles. Very reasonable for its points costs at 115pts but it pays out of the nose for having TO Camo because it literally only has a MHMG, I really think it should have gained a Heavy Pistol for losing its HFT. Probably the TAG I actually play the least because it basically has to wander around in the 16-32 range bracket Surprise Shotting people from TO Camo and that's all it does. It's really good at doing just that but I kinda think it got the dick for owning TO Camo when other things in the game didn't. The Cutter tends to hit those other things harder so it does trade off. That's a quick "I've just woken up here's my thoughts and my experiences playing them" and I've probably missed something quite key that I'll remember in a few hours, but that's the generic rundown. TAGs exist in that awkward spot where they basically just kill mans as fast as possible for you to rush up and claim objectives but a lot of them are now long range fire support models for a lot of points. They have that weird spot in ITS though and a lot of them are absolutely worth playing, you just need to be mindful of how to get the most out of a near (or over) 100pt model that isn't a specialist. I do think the Stingray TAGs need to get a quick review in N3 HS to re-evaluate what they're for. The fact they're PanO and their points goes into raw stats rather than special rules can be a double edged sword sometimes. E: Playing a game vs USAriadna (or what they have at the mo) via proxy tonight and not gonna lie some of their stuff looks flat out broken. 2E: Built my K1 Combi Unidron because the Spitfire model is AWFUL. I think I'm just going to proxy them as each other and correct everyone when they tell me I'm wrong, what the gently caress is that Spitfire model doing??

Thanks for the summary. Seraph is a nice name imo, though my impression of it matches yours. Going to choose between Jotum and Dragao most likely, and something to proxy for Toni.
