I may have convinced a couple buddies to try out the game, and they have found the Battle boxes or whatever - the boxes with paper terrain and two armies. Am I okay with just telling them to pick the pair they are most interested in, or is one of the boxes more or less balanced/complex?

No, I'd say they're roughly equivalent in terms of complexity. Either one is a good investment and a great way to get started.

Either Icestorm or Red Veil are OK for a start. So are the big faction army packs. Bear in mind that apart from the ones in Operation Somethings,  starters are not balanced against each other in any way! If you try to play Steel Phalanx or Neoterra starter against an Ariadna one, Ariadna's gonna get beaten most of the time because you're pitting 6 light models against 6 elite models.

So I wrote up the next turn for our ongoing Infinity narrative campaign. This turn (in which BlackIronHeart's Morat take on the Kazakhs) saw the Morats trying to keep their poo poo covert - ironically through the excessive application of violence. It is the Morat way! Read about it here: http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/44721-a-new-dawn-narrative-campaign-and-batreps/?do=findComment&comment=872362

This is what I remember doing for my first infinity inductee. We both got starters and they were wildly different. It looks like Icestorm is where the two of them are leaning. hopefully they get hooked, both guys are real burned out on WH40K.

Picked up my first actual game miniature, the Shasvastii Corax Spec-op. Picked it because it wasnt that expensive, I like the overall design, and the weird battle thong looks like it would be pretty easy to alter to look like wrappings over a bodysuit. How is the unit in the actual game?

A spec-ops is a unit specifically for use in narrative/campaign play - it gains XP from game to game, so starting from a basic profile (ie you would always pay the basic Shasvastii Seed Soldier points cost in your army, and use that basic profile) you can upgrade it to have a very wide range of skills, weapons, equipment, and stat increases. You do also see one-off tournaments, or just games by agreement, where Spec Ops are used, players just set a given XP value (typically 12) to play at. If you go into the Infinity Army builder, you'll see a button around your Army List marked 'spec ops', that will show you the options available.

It's a pretty flexible model though. It could proxy as a malignos reasonably well, or as a nexus operative (as they don't have models yet). I played the first tagline game on the weekend, it was good fun. I ran onyx, and having nearly 400 pts is brutal - I went for all the toys, so had a xedron/Samaritan link, overdron hrmc, Unicron/nexus/legate link and a malignos FO. What should have been a PanO victory, or at least a draw, turned into a 9-2 onyx win thanks to the overdron being obscenely lucky. It managed to save three hrl hits in one order, take out a knight and wound another with one order, and take out a seraph (standing in for macanaya) in one order. What a (lucky) beast.

Silly rules  question, but I just wanted to double check something.When engaged in CC, can I spend an order on my dude and say "first half of the order is to move 4 inches, assuming I kill you in CC: ARO: second half of order is CC attack" My gut says yes, but when it happened in a game I was playing last night, I figured, well, I wonder if this is one of those things me and my group are taking for granted that doesn't actually exist haha. Also, when engaged in CC with multiple enemies, when I make a CC attack, I assume each enemy gets an ARO, right? Meaning that I could only make a face to face roll against one of those enemies (assuming I dont randomly have an extra burst from somewhere)? CC in Infinity can be confusing

Nope. The Engaged state restricts the skills you can declare to a very small list and Move is not on the list.

It's partially why Shinobu is such a fiend in Close Combat. She can strike everyone, and shooting at her while she's engaged is a savage -12

Miniature Market is having a big sale tomorrow, and I think I'm going to be a total loving moron and buy into Haqq. Nobody around here plays them, and I'm pretty frequently buying stuff just to let other people run it. What are some must-haves for Haqq? I'll probably snag Red Veil, and I've already got some Sekban and a Janissary I bought just to have something neat to paint.

So, it's not allowed to say "Well, assuming I'm out of close combat, I'll have move be part of my order. If I don't end up out of close combat, the movement part is wasted."? Just because by the time you try to move, you'll be out of CC. I know order declaration is weird, so want to get this sorted out.

Everything is simultaneous, so no matter what happens you're never out of CC until the end of the order... The discover/shoot thing seems like an exception, but it really isn't. It's just an irregular situation where it can turn out that a hidden model was really revealed all along.

Huh, alright, learn something new every day. Ok, two more quick CC questions: 1) My link of 3 members has one member (Model A) engaged with an enemy, and 2 on the outskirts. If I want to get Model B in there to add support to model A, am I allowed to spend an order on the link, and have that order be Move+CC with model A as the leader (the goal being to get Model B in the scrum as part of the move), so that Model A gets the B2 attack? My guess is no since as the leader, Model A cannot declare move. However, if I made Model B the leader and attacked with model B, they would presumably be ok to do that? 2) When shooting into CC, does the target get an ARO as normal? Since they're in CC, I think the only option really would be change facing, dodging at a -3. If so, makes shooting into CC REALLY unappealing as the -6 to hit, coupled with it being a F2F roll, makes it really hard to hit. Which is probably the point xD Thanks!

For other stuff, the Remotes are great to have. A Hassassin Fiday is too much fun not to include (though be warned, they're actually pretty squishy and need to be used carefully), and I've had great fun using Tuaregs. Everybody in my meta plays sectorials, so including a Tuareg packing a Boarding Shotgun and lurking in Hidden Deployment is a great way to seriously gently caress up a Fireteam in ARO. Tuareg snipers also make for great TR bot hunters. A Djanbazan or two are also almost an auto-include, especially if you have a couple of Ghazis - smoke + MSV is a potent combo. I really like Hunzakuts - especially the ones with deployable repeaters - but it's because I tend to run rather "hacker heavy" lists. And lately, I've taken to fielding a lot of Naffatun, mostly because they're great for burning off other peoples' annoying TO Camo or ODD.

Ilor posted:Yes, you could make B the leader. Just be aware that if your enemy thinks he can tank B's attack, he can choose to ARO against A as a Normal roll (because A is part of the Fireteam, and while only a single ARO is provoked, it is provoked by all Fireteam members - meaning any one of them is a valid target). Wow. This points to a lot of things that we weren't quite right about. I blame us making assumptions during the transition from N2 :p Just glad we can start adjusting our cheating ways!
