Just managed a French Waterloo game, a stunning glorious victory that turned into a sudden defeat on the final turn. My buddy had a Maakrep that managed to punch a hole through my total reaction rem to push up and clinch it quite literally on the last order. I had a hacker that was in range to slap down a white noise zone and completely forgot it existed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcGQpjCztgA

I feel weird. I usually tune out the discussion of sexism in miniatures because it inevitably leads to bashing somebody or other, but I just realized that almost all basic human LI/MI are arranged by religiously adhering to the formula of "man aiming, man with rifle down, woman posing". Seriously, 95% troop trios, same thing. Why did I only realized it just now? Because the one notable hole in that rule is Yu Jing. The evil Asian patriarchy does not care and puts its women in combat poses  and since I started Nomads it's the above poo poo.

My FLGS is having a beginner's Infinity tournament with the basic rules (which I guess means no hacking and such) in about a month and a half, and I'm thinking of trying it out. It's 150 points and the assumption seems to be that most folks will just buy a starter and take extra options as needed to get their force up there. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any half-decent way to stretch the Bakunin starter to 150 points. I read something that says that particular box is around 105 points base, and that seems like a lot to make up. I'd rather not be into Infinity for much more than the starter over this time period, if possible, because I'm trying to save some money.

I guess it's ALEPH propaganda initiative that they always look like a freeze-frame from a movie trailer.

So the Grunt in my USAriadna box holding his rifle in the ready position was packaged with the left arm from a Marauder. I also kinda got my complaint code paper things mixed up in a pile, not that I can tell what to do with them anyways. The Devil Dog might be my new favorite model in the range at least.

Fortunately they're are a number of piecemeal sellers so you can avoid the worst of the models in box sets.

CB love to use foreign words to make things sound cool without actually knowing what they mean. They're Spanish, so the entirety of English qualifies. I don't understand why their weapon list has to read like a multilingual dictionary.

Thanks for the recommendations so far! I'm in talks with someone who may be getting rid of some NIB stuff, including the Bakunin sectorial starter, so I'll see what I can get from him.

I usually try to avoid the 'official' schemes, but something close to that would fit my primarily Kazak force. Or something entirely different.

Here's a random musing question without any context, if I'm running The Hungries, would you chaps generally go for 2/2 Preta/Gakis or just 3 Pretas?

I've never played the Hungries but flexibility is always a strong point in Infinity. Having a pocket suicide bomber can never hurt. I'd be terrified of them getting all up in my (Adriana) camo biz.

Yeah it's exactly how I'm going to try using them, our terrains taken a bit of a turn for denser recently on some of our tables and I've wanted another pocket tool for dealing with stuff around corners and I'm curious how well these chaps will do.

In 2nd edition Pretas were unquestionably king. Now, I would still favour the chain rifle as it's such a powerful weapon against link teams, and for the threat range. Personal preference though, it's probably pretty tight. I feel like pretas have a greater ceiling for achievement, if you pump the orders in and stay lucky for a few rolls, one can do a lot.

V: Dogged looks really slick on them too, I've gone with the 3 Preta's for this list which I'm going to give a whirl on Thursday. I think it's not a great list but I'm curious on how it works vs my current meta.

Couple of interesting things from NOVA, stolen from the forums: Onyx Force consists of Sygmaa, Unidrons, and Umbra. Aspects not invited to the party, so no "Hello, glad to meet you, I'm an Avatar." Onyx will get morat and shassvasti "elite" units. They are like the combined black hand, cherry picking from all races. Seraph no longer a Stingray TAG, will be better, more expensive, keeps Auxbot, and release is imminent. Bear Throne fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Sep 8, 2015 |

It seems pretty clear that EI and Sygmaa are both going to get their own sectorial armies, and that Onyx is neither of them. I don't really get the point of the Onyx force then, but presumably CB has some sort of plan that's not just "vanilla with fireteams."
