Don't turtle. There's no defense you can put up that SP can't crack. Hit their order pool, and only go after their heavy hitters when you're making an extremely favorable trade. Go for first turn as well. The Greeks are one of the few factions that can lay down some serious hurt turn 1 without sacrificing position or objectives.

None if you're down with the digital. The wiki has all the rules for free online and the army builder provides all of the character stats.

If you have an ipad, you can download MayaNet which has both! (but not updated with HSN3 yet, unfortunately).

In relation to the recent Joan + Teuton binge I have been seeing I decided to have a crack at the idea myself; below is an attempt i'd like some other people's thoughts on, despite the fact Teutons are hot garbage. Military Orders ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 JOAN OF ARC Lieutenant MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, AP CCW. (+1 | 49) BLACK FRIAR (Albedo, Biometric Visor L1) MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser, Drop Bears / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 28) TEUTONIC KNIGHT Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 34) TEUTONIC KNIGHT Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 34) TEUTONIC KNIGHT Spitfire / Pistol, AP CCW. (2 | 37) BROTHER KONSTANTINOS Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Assault Pistol, CCW. (0 | 29) ORDER SERGEANT Heavy Rocket Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 15) ORDER SERGEANT Heavy Rocket Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 15) ORDER SERGEANT Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 15) CRUSADER Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 26) GROUP 2 FUSILIER Hacker (Hacking Device) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 18) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points 4-man core fireteam of OS. The bottom of the list feels unresolved but I just can't find anything else to jam in there other than the Crusader. Edit. I just have had so many letdowns with single order snipers in the past. Tried for something different and ended up so close to Corbeau it barely matters ThreeLefts fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Jun 22, 2016 |

Is there a specialist that could replace the Crusader? Currently there's only one specialist in it (unless I missed something?), so if you are playing objectives that need one you may be stretched to get around the board with only Konstantinos. Coming up against a link team hurling missiles doesn't fill me with joy either. I would be throwing a Cameronian at that ASAP. I haven't played with hackers so maybe it doesn't matter as much but I don't like leaving one person in an order pool all by themselves. Maybe move the link team over so they've got more orders if needed? And if not its one more order for the link team.

I'm not a fan of the Friar and I'm not a fan of the 4-man link. I think the Black Friar is an underwhelming unit and that you give up a ton of power by giving up the 5th man. It's true that there aren't many ways to run the Teuton + Joan list though. I've considered the idea of running a Father Knight instead of the Teuton Spitfire, but the Teutons are fundamentally there to die so that seems like a waste.

Thanks for the replies about the book, ended up going with nomads in the end. I picked up a Nomad starter, an Iguana T.A.G (great model, sort of sold me on the faction), a set of Tunguska interventors and a intruder with a sniper rifle. I still want to get a book and I am wondering does the human sphere n3 have all the rules of the main rulebook as well or is it only an expansion?

It's just an expansion. I've got to assume that if the rules haven't already been posted on the Infinity website for download, they will be soon. Also, cross-posting from the Oath Thread:      I had fun with these guys. And man, that pale-green-to-yellow fade on the Hassassin Barid Hacker's body-armor was hard to get right.

Only an expansion, but give it some time and the wiki should be updated with the full rules. If you want a complete set of rules in paper you'll need to get the Core Rulebook and Human Sphere.

I've been really tempted by the idea of a couple of Xeodrons. Good weapons, good solos, and you can use their Blitzens with coordinated orders (which I have way more respect for after seeing Teutons + Joan in action). They'd be super obnoxious in suppression fire too. A lot like more mobile Geckos.

I'm going to gencon and have booked the infinity panel. If people want me to ask questions, slap carlos or screaming "FRENCH FORCES FOREVER" please request it here. I've been assembling the nomad alguaciles from the nomad starter pack and I hate the arms/gun parts. They don't seem to be assembling very well and are leaving gaps. Going to have to use green stuff to get the poses right.

Nomads are pretty stellar - I've definitely had a better time with them than my USARF. Interventors are crazy good, and since you've got a great hacker unit, you could really stand to take some remotes. Remotes are pretty good in general, and Nomad REMs are standouts. HSN3 is an expansion. If you really absolutely gotta have a paper copy of something, you could get by with it and the rules sections off the website. What you see in the website documents section is straight out of the relevant books, and Army and the wiki will also have what you need. Exmond posted:"FRENCH FORCES FOREVER" Please do.

If there's one thing I don't like about Infinity models, it's the massive gender dimorphism. Ended up ordering 2 extra Mobile Brigada (Nomad HI) of the bulky, suited-up, aggressively posed male versions, because the women are apparently anorexics wearing mm-thick armour and standing passively in their high heels.

I want less leaning in to the gun because its annoying to paint those models and assemble them.  What can I say, I like me some verisimilitude. I can accept the presence of alien life-forms bent on the total subjugation of the human race without a second thought. I can accept machine-gun-toting robots with lightning-fast, super-human reflexes. I can accept the presence of medical projectiles capable of putting soldiers back into the fight good-as-new. Directionally-dispersed clouds of flesh-eating nanites? Rad. But trained, professional soldiers acting like "Is this...this thing is gonna kick when I pull the trigger, isn't it?" just looks dumb.And don't get me wrong, they have had some great sculpts lately. While you can debate the merits of which leg to sight over when firing from a kneeling position, the new Reverend Healer mini is fantastic. It is an extremely dynamic-looking mini. Her chicken-wing bugs me a little bit, but whatever. The new Hassassin Govad with Rifle+Light Shotgun is great. She's got the rifle couched closely and is leaning in just enough to sell the pose (yet still be upright enough that the sniper pose also works with the same legs/torso). The female Ghazi Muttawi'ah with the Boarding Shotgun is also nice, again with a very dynamic pose. And I absolutely LOVE the female Janissary, even with her convenient tactical rock. And leaning slightly away doesn't have to look bad - the bare-headed Naffatun is cool because again, the sculpt captures a dynamic moment - you can imagine her caught in the act of signaling her squad-mates to the presence of hostiles up ahead. But contrast those with the "squeeze-knees" female Domaru. Posed as they are, you expect them to shoot you, then whip off their helmet, throw up a V, wink, and shout "yataa!"

Foxtrot sculpt is p bad agreed, there's a few duff male sculpts like that one as well, I wish CB were a bit more even on the whole thing tbh which I think is a reasonable stance. The Kaauri chaps are odd as hell, I hadn't even realised they were in the game until like last week and was a bit like "what the gently caress are they?" Back to playing games I guess!

The Tikbalang is really good since HSN3 hit, it basically got removed and Toni Macayana got renamed. Really fun piece to play and it can cause some hefty carnage. It's mobile and hits hard. Uhlan I've not tried in the new edition but it's always butted heads with the Swiss Guard & Cutter as it's a non-TO Camo TAG. I always liked using them though so it's worth a go.
