If it makes you feel any better mate you're not the first person to do that and won't be the last. I see it a fair amount on the UK Infinity facebook group.

Also someone motivate me to make a list, haven't had any drive for Infinity lists lately but I kinda wanna play my Sphinx.

It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't just notice that the bases were tapered. Luckily, bases are cheap and I only slightly damaged the guys I removed from the bases so far.

Am I looking back through rose-tinted glasses, or are the official forums steadily getting more obnoxious? I'm finding it progressively less worthwhile to read threads there just because of the petty bickering.

I think if they could just probate King of Squid for being a poo poo-posting blowhard, things would probably settle down to "mostly cool."

The pawsting business is tough work.
Those are all rad as gently caress.

So, for those in the US, Miniature Market has put a large part of their Infinity selection on sale, including OIS for 55 bucks, the USAriadna starter box for fifty, and the rulebook for 35.

Somewhat related, are the PanO Bolts any good? Because I own a lot of them now, apparently.

I've played against em linked a few times already and they're fuckin nasty. Super Jump is pure aids when it shines. Esp with the B4 LSG or just HMG.

What's even more obnoxious is linked super-jump forward, deployment of a bunch of mines where you land, linked super-jump back. "Hope you didn't want to get into that mid-field, suckers!"

Not a fan of the Domaru studio color scheme, but those Rodoks are some of the most amazing models I've ever seen.

I'm OK with the Domaru color scheme, but what impresses me most about them is the shape of their helmets. That's such a cool and distinctive silhouette.

I must have that new Ragik hacker, though.

Hell yeah Rodoks! Was thinking just those that months, since as cool as the Domaru are, Ive got two and they've never done much for me. After fiddling around with the old ragik hacker though the new one looks heaps better.

Official forum, faction subforums, each has stickied "tactica" threads. But that's after you play the Icestorm missions and have a grasp on basic rules.

This is a little off subject, but is "tactica" a holdover from 40k? Shouldn't it just be tactics?

What are everyone's thoughts on Joan(1.0 or 2.0)? She feels like an auto include in almost every PanO list I make. Her inspiring leadership is so crazy good I always want to take her. The only downside I can think of, is that shes very obviously going to be your Lt. Although, I do like the idea of sometimes not making her my Lt. just to throw my opponent off/hiding my real Lt. better.

My main opponent plays MO with Joan all the time and she's pretty good. I've seen him clear out tons of dudes with her and then last time we played, he had her in a 5 man link and it was pretty overwhelming. I would guess the biggest problem is that just like anything else that is obviously good, people will come to the table with a clear plan on how to beat her.

So I am assembling the old-school Haqqislam "chicken bot" Remotes that just arrived on my doorstep yesterday, and I've gotta say these particular miniatures make me want to stab myself in the face. They are super-fiddly. I've already broken one of the legs, and I see much pinning of aerials and whatnot in my future. Sigh.

I just mounted them on a post and painted it black. Solid as hell now. Antennas on the other hand...

Man, a CC parachutist. Kind of... underwhelming. Unless there's a perfectly placed mini with it's back to the 1/6 of the table edge you chose, seems kinda useless. Even then, better to just pop them with a submachine gun or the Molotok.

Wait, but the Surprise Attack order says you need to start as a marker or in hidden deployment. Don't you have to burn an entire order to pop up onto the board with AD? So you'll lose the opportunity to Surprise Attack because the entirety of the order is spent deploying?

Yeah, better ranged options make them way more viable. My problem is that I usually don't have the orders to spend to run them into close range, and impetuous won't kick in till they score a kill.
