Any linkable model with a camo model has a caveat saying not linkable.

I think maybe the Merovignian Metros special character (Jacques Bruant? The Jean Reno one) has limited camo and can link with ordinary metros.

What would a humble PanO player do against an invisible army like that? Some sort of Total Reaction/360 visor REM if we have them? Renfield posted:2nd ever game went well 200pts- I lost 2-1 on a cap-the-antenna game. Sup ex-GW buddy. I've had nothing but positive experiences so far. For example I picked up a second hand Ariadna start box (the one with the Kazaks) and my FLGS owner gave me a free Kazak just so I'd have a roughly 150 point force depending on how I kitted them out. Or in the game where I was outnumbered by 100 points of  CA, but still felt like I was in the game until the end. I think a big difference is the reactive turn making it feel like you're always in the game. So even if your freshly painted, points heavy dude gets murdered before you've had a chance to play active turn, you at least get to make a decision as to how to try and prolong your models life. The CA players army basically materialized out of the ether around mine and it was rad as gently caress. It felt like the last stand in the fort in Starship Troopers; rather than being an exercise in frustration like facing a deep striking space marine/Eldar army was.

If a PanO player is worried about camo, they need to review the Aquila Guard. MSV3 is not as amazing as it used to be, but it is still great. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Dec 4, 2015 |

Vvvvvvvv: MSV3 ignores camo modifiers, ODD, low visibility zones, smoke, ignores surprise shot/attack penalties, and automatically passes all WIP rolls to discover camo'ed models. Edit: quote is not edit. I think this is the first time i have ever done that.

Yu Jing are probably one of the better suited armies to deal with Infiltraitor Spams, to be honest. Equally disposable templates. That, and that particular list seems like it would really struggle with TO Camo. A few camo rifles'll have a hard time cracking armor. Doubly so for TO Armor.

Eh, against that you have HFTs, which are well up there with MSV2 for dealing with TO Camo. Shorter range obviously, but less risk - one unlucky roll can lead to a dead Intruder or Nisse. A Grunt or Naffatun hunting a TO model is only risking his own low points. EDIT: Had 2 games this weekend. Beat one opponent's PanO at Annihilation. He had a scary TAG and a couple of knights, but he isn't a terribly good player since he hasn't played for ages. I bricked myself a bit at the beginning when his Dragao went head to head with a TR bot and HRL Wildcat, beating them both and killing the bot outright. But after that I was able to fight back and pick his expensive models off. Second game was another teaching game of my Ariadna buddy. Although I still am explaining rules and reminding him of game mechanics, his actual tactics are pretty sound and I was worried at a few points. Didn't get to finish the game. He used 2 dog-warriors, one of whom got glue-gunned (HA!) and one of whom beasted a ton of ARM rolls, but then tried to tangle with a Jaguar link and got beat down. Apart from that, my main worry was I rashly tried to attack with McMurrough, due to some bad rolls, he got into a chain rifle match with a 6-point Galwegian highlander and they both died. loving cheap Dogged models.

I believe so, I have always played it as that. Other question: does the Link Team +1Burst bonus affect smoke grenades? Being Targetless, can I have 4 models throw smoke as a coordinated order?

Had my first two games of Infinity today in absolute months of not playing because of organising stuff, and weeks of me not even being able to look at the hobby, but coming back and ejecting pilots out of shiny new Guijas is priceless. Charontid says: gently caress no.

My local gaming store is doing a Festive Season Infinity Event, "full details to come later." Apparently everyone brings one "starter box", so I hope they know what they're doing to balance the high-points ones like NTCA. That said, what box should I bring to ensure I'm not being a dick and can still have fun? I've got: - JSA - Neoterra - Vanilla Pan O (Icestorm version) - Aleph - Steel Phallus

Well, you could play Neoterra and just never reveal the Swiss. It'd probably play just fine.

Here's my first attempt at an indoor base. Note that I'm not very good at painting, but I'm happy enough with the result as a first try (also most of it will be covered up by the Zond anyway). The main thing that went wrong is that my attempts at using a stencil and a straightedge worked a lot worse than I thought it would.

Not bad for a first attempt. My first time doing hazard stripes looked very similar - and I never got any better at them lol. Here are my WiP PanO dudes. I'm going to seal them up tomorrow and then add some snow effects to the bases.

Thanks! I tried using a piece of thick magazine paper (from a flyer left at my door) as a straightedge but in spite of my efforts the paint leaked underneath a bit so I had to freehand it. I didn't think about it at the time but I should have used painter's tape. The stencil had a similar problem but if I was careful and dabbed on tiny amounts of paint at a time it didn't leak. It honestly looks okay from a few feet away; the photograph really brought out the bad lines. Edit: gonna add a little more red to my blood mix too BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Photo's are the enemy of my painting. I recently started painting with a headlamp. Partially because it gets really gloomy around here early, and partly because I REALLY wanted to expose all my mistakes. It was frustrating but it makes my mini's not look so bad when I snap photos. Have you tried using painter's tape on a mini? I've day dreamed about it, but never tried it on such a small scale. I'd also be afraid of chipping paint off.

I wouldn't try using tape on a mini, I don't think, but I think it would be fine for putting straight lines on bases intended to look like roads or bulkheads, etc.. Sir Teabag posted:Not bad for a first attempt. My first time doing hazard stripes looked very similar - and I never got any better at them lol. I like that blue a lot. On my PanOs I used a 1:1 mix of Tamiya chrome silver and sky blue which is a little subdued compared to the official schemes or that one, but I like how it turned out.

I think somebody in the X-wing thread mentioned the trick to taping lines for your minis. You paint over the tape and the area you're about to do with the base color, then go over it with the color you actually want in the taped-off area. That keeps the second layer of paint from bleeding out under the tape. For a caution stripe, you'd paint a big bar of yellow, tape off for the black bars, paint yellow around the tape edge, then do the black segments over the whole thing. Might be a little too big for Infinity figures themselves, but it should work nicely on terrain and bases. On the subject of arts and crafts, I was thinking I'd try magnetizing my bases and carrying my junk around stuck on the inside of a metal toolbox. Somebody in this thread had that idea way back when, and I was wondering if it held up. If so, what kinda magnets did you use?

You can totally use masking tapes on minis just fine. Tamiya makes low-tack stuff in a variety of small sizes intended for model use, but you can just cut blue tape to size and stick it to your table or cutting mat a couple times to remove some of the adhesive before applying it to your model.

Alternatively, gently caress it because the base above is fixable with simple retouching with grey. More hints: lay the brush flatter when doing hazard stripes, easier to make them straighter that way. Also, blood pool - either Tamiya Clear Red or GW Blood For The Blood God (their technicals are the only stuff I'd buy from them), take a poo poo brush and stipple it on. In other news, I finally stopped losing minis in my home and organized my Infinity painting queue  the bad news is that my Infinity painting queue is 12 pizza-sized boxes, not counting commissions  I might have a problem.
