Spend SWC on the mine layer variation. Starting the game with a mine already deployed is worth it. Your opponent won't know which one is a zero and which one will blow up in their face. I'm not sure you need MSV on your boarding shotgun. The +6 range mod is probably enough against camo. I'd like to take it on mimetism or camo since it is more generally useful. Mobile Brigada's flamethrower and the mined are also a good backup against mimetism or camo. Something like this, maybe:  Nomads──────────────────────────────────────────────────  6  MOBILE BRIGADA MULTI Rifle + Light Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 39) ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) ZERO (Minelayer) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 19) REVEREND HEALER Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, EXP CCW. (0 | 32)0.5 SWC | 120 Points Open in Infinity Army Moira might be better than the healer, depends on if you prefer getting people back up or slightly better shooting modifiers.

Hi! Sorry to derail the thread, I just spent 7 hours painting in anticipation for a local tournament and I'm pretty proud of how decent I'm getting at it. Here's some USArianda models with the obligatory Azra'il/Blackjack proxy. The today crew all together,  The Blackjack,  Some Marauders  Marauders and 6th Parachutist And assorted Maverick poses:     I'm thinking I need to work a bit on their pants, but I'm happy for now. Apart from basing I think I'm done with these folks because there's more models on the docket for later. Have a good evening goons. Toalpaz fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Sep 3, 2017 |

Under 15 posted:At 120 points I wouldn't sweat heavy weapons. Just get as many orders as possible, since anyone will be able to kill anyone. The Zero Minelayer profile is amazing. Hell at 120SWC you could take two. Another suggestion would be the Moran Masai, because your opponent will hate having to deal with 2 Koalas + Mimetism at that point level.

NEW ITS is UP some cool stuff: ALL Tags get Fatality L1. Some missions have Armourd Vanguard. TAGs gain Forward Deployment L1. PanO gets 3 extra lists they can use which are new and have smoke mercs with linkable Nisse. CA gets Bit & Kiss. Kidnapping replaces Retroengineering. -2 Orders CMD Token use doesn't effect Single Combat Groups. Some Wotan missions are in, like Hunting Party & Power Pack. Designated Target rules mean you can slot HVTs.

Hmm. Fatality for all TAGs can make some loadouts very interesting. The HRMC-bearing mechs spitting out tons of STR 16 fire, for instance. Besides, it makes sense that a giant bot would have heavier-duty versions of infantry weapons instead of exact copies.

That's a good catch, thanks! I'm now desperately rethinking my list, as I'm pretty sure my opponent is going French, so will have a Wolf and Chasseur Minelayer spam - mainly as he's the one who taught me how much of a pain in the arse Zero Minelayers are.

So a friend and I got a deal for some infinity figures. $175 got us the red veil, ice storm starters, Tohaa, Aleph 300 point boxes, the rulebooks+human sphere, some promo figures (I think? One says Druze variant), and the classified deck. Guy said he couldn't get into it and the boxes have barely been touched. So what kinds of armies can we cobble together from these boxes? What factions would you say look cohesive enough if mashed together as proxies? I'm laughing at the thought that we're going to spend more on figure cases for these things than the models actually cost.

With that stuff you'll be able to play with pretty much any faction in the game but Ariadna and Combined Army. You'll be able to make a decent start at a number of sectorials as well (I'm thinking ISS and Hassassin Bahram in particular). That's a hell of a haul, dude. As far as proxies go, Nomad Alguacils, Haqqislam Ghulam, and Yu Jing Zhanshi all look sort of similar enough to serve well as proxies. Tiger Soldiers (Yu Jing) and Hellcats (Nomads) look similar enough to make good proxies. The YJ heavy infantry from Red Veil and the PanO heavy infantry from Icestorm are different stylistically, but will get the point across that "this dude is HI." There's not really any good analog for the Al'Fasid from Red Veil in the other armies, although you might be able to use him to proxy something like a Gecko (Nomad mini-TAG). The Tuareg sniper from Red Veil can stand in for pretty much any light infantry sniper in the game. The tac-bow ninja from Red Veil could easily stand in for any other faction's sneaky-sneaky troop (I'm thinking Nomad Spectr or the like).

I'd say play around and see which factions appeal to you the most with their aesthetics or playstyle, and then swap/sell the others to expand your chosen factions. And yeah, the Druze Hacker is a limited preorder promo, an all-around beautiful mini, and a great proxy for an Authorized Bounty Hunter.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to look around because the names of things are really specific but all I had prior to this was the PanO half of ice storm, Miyamoto's double models, the motorcycle bootleg lady, and the fat noodle dude. I used to proxy stuff from 40k into general "heavy/light infantry" and Tau crisis suits were TAGs but now I can have more sleek looking infantry that fit better with the aesthetic. My friend and I decided to split the armies such that I get the Aleph, PanO, and Haqq parts. I think the Haqq and PanO have enough humanoid/robot counterparts they should work. Aleph looks vaguely similar but they're already a starter force so can probably just be their own thing. I just wanted the motorcycle to pair with the bootleg motorcycle. I'll forward the suggestions to my friend. He's really into the ninja and likes the ultimate weeb possibilities offered by Nomads and YJ. E: I'm guessing that I can't use any similar proxies for ITS?

As long as it is Corvus Belli products you can use whatever in ITS. As long as it has the same sized base and you are informing your opponent of what the proxies are no one really cares.

Akschually  the official rules say that unit and weapon must match if possible (if the given loadout has a currently-available model), but in practice 99% of the events will have some kind of relaxed requirements like "unit must match, weapon doesn't have to" or allow certain number or % of proxies. Also, CCW-only models are popular stand-ins for whatever profile is missing or needs more copies at a given time (also legal IIRC). One thing that sticks is the "CB minis only" requirement, but that's only for Infinity's pretty lenient on proxies is what I'm saying v  v unless you proxy stuff in a Rube Goldbergesque combination that makes the opponent's eyes glaze over halfway through your list, you should be OK. As for tournaments, just ask an organizer in advance.ed: Also, "conversions by painting" are a thing. I've seen people paint Ghulams in Ariadna camo to get more Metro models (yeah that was back in 2ed) and other stuff like that. Pierzak fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Sep 6, 2017 |

Generally speaking in my events its CB minis and close to what the troop is as possible whilst being clear. (ie this Swiss guard is my Swiss guard but that Swiss guard is my hvt will get you a gently caress off). If it's a crazy skew like that Caledonia one bring 25mm models. If you're unsure drop a message to your local TO or players.
