Yeah it seems to be intruders and smoke as the big thing. Which is fine for me because I hide for my first turn anyway. You can tell when I've set a ta le up because there is terrain in the DZ. Not super common on tables set up by others in my meta. And I always have something breaking up every single table edge.

I got a rules q that didn't come up but am curoius and have confused myself on resolutions. Umbra walks into ZOC of enemy Mulebot/Repeater. No AROs Vs Stealth. Umbra declares hacking attack on the REM. Can enemy hacker declare hacking aro vs the attack through the repeater? What if the hacker didn't have stealth? I'm in hacking area (via Repeater) of enemy hacker who declares hacking attack. Can I declare a hack on him? he's not in my hacking area. So I can only reset to contest that roll as a Ftf?

Stealth only limits AROs if you're declaring Movement short skills. The third bullet point for Stealth, from the wiki: However, if the second Short Skill of the Order is any non-Movement Skill, then those enemies can react normally in ARO.

Yea I just dug up the wiki on hacking and repeaters as well which is my main question which answered it. Hackers can also attempt to hack through an enemy Repeater only if the Repeater is inside their Zone of Control. By doing this, they can perform hacking attempts against targets inside the Zone of Control of the enemy Repeater, and also against any enemy Hacker, but they suffer the Firewall MODs (a -3 MOD to their WIP Roll, while their target gets a +3 MOD to his BTS). Was enemy repeaters giving you access to their hackers as well as their hacking areas I had missed. Flipswitch fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jul 13, 2017 |

I think it works the same way as camo. If the umbra moves unseen across your hacking area in his first short, there's no hacking ARO. If he declares shoot or whatever next, I believe it invalidates his previous stealthiness and you retroactively get the ARO.

Yep, in both examples the active hacker would be subject to a hacking ARO.

Sorry I worded it poorly. The hacking aro if I attack/hack is fine. It was more if he declares hack through his repeater in the second example, could I declare a hack back. The answer is yes because his repeater let's me target him even if he isn't in a repeater hacking area. It ties up both examples

I only started playing in N3, but I get the impression it's largely due to a group of people that have been playing since N2 or ealier and are rather used to each other and set in their ways. I usually play with people at my place in the south end of the city, but whenever I go out to play in stores it's been getting better every month. tokenbrownguy posted:No worries dude, that poo poo is a confusing.

I really like sectorials because their playstyles have a lot less overlap and even if I completely lose my mind I'm not buying an entire faction. That said, it looks like most of the Haq and YuJing in Red Veil are for upcoming unreleased sectorials, is that right? And if so, are they likely to play substantially different from NeoTerra and Corregidor?

There entire You Jing starter box, which is what the original red veil had, is for the unreleased Invincible Army, or vanilla, and the expansion units are the same. The Nomads are a mix of Corregidor and the unreleased Tunguska sectorials.

Tourney over, ITS cherry popped. Went 2-1, won best painted army (again!  )Highlights of the day: R1, Firefight mission against Haqq. T1 Walk on the side of the table with Fraacta, Fraacta shows how amazing it is by going on to  kill or knock unconscious:1x HMG Djanbazan 1x Marksman rifle Djanbazan 1x Tuareg sniper that tried to ARO it 1x Ghulam doc. Triggered the guy's second Tuareg sniper, took a single hit but left the Tuareg in LOS of my Charontid MSV3 HMG killmachine who was chilling in smoke. with the Djans down and no more MSV, opponent goes down a second Tuareg in a hail of HMG fire. At that point (i.e., the end of my first turn) the guy was pretty limited on options, tried to recover as much as possible by running their second doc out to their downed tuareg after killing off my Fraacta who was sat in the open looking  , but my Malignos popped out of TO and turned the wannabe hero doctor horizontal. The game rolled on and got pretty grim for my Opponent, and ended on a score of 6-0.R2, Supremacy against Nomads. Things got really drat close. We basically kept knocking the poo poo out of each other, losing key strategy pieces in a bizarre tit for tat in my left flank, but a cunning Intelliops usage stole the match from a 5-5 draw to my favour, 6-4. R3, Frontline against Ju Jing. gently caress you, dice. gently caress you  . Everything on my side of the board died by T2's end after an almost perfect flurry of rolling high when I needed low, and low when I needed high. In retrospect, I could have turn the tide, but I focused on using the wrong things to kill the right things. I also possibly chose the wrong list, but w/e.Return on the day was £15 store credit for the painting award and lunch paid for, which came to over the costs for the event. So all good really!

I only used one list, even though I took two. Sphinx list seemed to never be right, but that might have been a mistake in R3. List I used was:  Fourth Stimpirical Chilldankly Detection and Eradication Operations────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1   10  3 CHARONTID Lieutenant (Multispectral Visor L3) HMG, Nanopulser / Heavy Pistol, Knife. (2 | 79) DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Grenades, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 14) DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Grenades, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 14) DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Grenades, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 14) FRAACTA Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28) MED-TECH OBSIDON MEDCHANOID Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 23) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) ANYAT K1 Combi Rifle, Chain-colt, Smoke Grenades, E/M Grenades / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 25) MALIGNOS MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 42) M-DRONE Combi Rifle, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 17) NEXUS Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nullifier / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24)GROUP 2 1 1 DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Grenades, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 14)4 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I'd probably spend some time tightening it up a little. 4 Daturazi might be overkill, and I never seemed to need both slaves, So there's around 17pts wiggle room, aka 2 Imetrons, and an Ikkadron. I'll get some photos tomorrow, since I cba setting up my camera after standing up all day.

Flipswitch posted:Niice, what did you use for the Corax skin mate? I used a weird technique I developed a while back, but am happy to share Undercoat black then several very light drybrushes of VALLEJO white till the surfaces are about 75% white. It MUST be Vallejo because it's a more porous paint than any other brand. It should look like this once ready:  The face is: Army painter Poisonous Cloud on a damp (not wet) brush, couple of layers should do it. try to avoid the deep recesses, but it shouldn't matter too much. P3 green ink thinned with a bit of water over the top Army painter green tone into the recesses then carefully pick out the edges and large flat areas with another milk thin layer or two of Poisonous cloud. The body is: multiple layers of Army painter green ink straight over the drybrushed white till it's "green" enough. one layer of soft tone, which is loving magic.

That's really interesting, I want to try it! There's a local pro painter who does a similar thing with spray paint - he calls it a chundercoat. A hazy speckled white zenith coat over a black base, then work out up with glazes and shades. Comes out with this great birds-egg look and very bright.
