But the vanilla starter and the Onyx starter are the same :v:

But the 300pt Onyx Army Pack is good value so you might as well start with that.

Sorry for all these newbie questions :shobon:

Would I be better off going vanilla CA rather than OCF?

Get the 300 point Onyx box no matter what you choose. It's a good starting point and they'll discontinue it eventually.

Yu Jing's HI are all so drat gorgeous, still bummed i got a Hac Tao before the remodel. Do you have enough orders for all those toys?

Unrelatedly, how do you work out which list is the most current? I've got the builder but it's missing things from the Profiles PDF on the website, which is different to the main rule book.

Morats are like Corregidor, you basically run a playbook. Since you can't surprise anyone, you're better off reacting...

That's a crit.
I'm not sure I agree with that. Stuff like Raktorak and Rodok link teams and crazy TR plasma drones are good at aggressively establishing board control. And there's little that clears a flank as well as an Oznat leading a bunch of Hungries.

Friend of mine was wondering if the Symbiont Armor on the Gorgos means anything vis a vis the pilot getting out when the Gorgos loses its last STR point, or if the lack of Ejection System such as on the Iguana means the Gorgos pilot is poo poo outta luck.

The pilot replaces the Gorgos on the table.

edit: an aside, she's free to dismount like other pilots but all that does is eliminate the Symbiont Armor wounds and there's no way for her to get back "in".

Played some today, first time in forever, just 200 points to ease us back into it. Got lucky with some face to face rolls, and had a third mate basically GMing and telling me not to do my standard unfocused 'umm i guess i'll drip feed my army up and shoot you some' tactics. My Guilang did nothing but eat discovery rolls like a champion and then get blatted top of turn two while my Zuyong LT walked up machine gunning faces.

My Yu Jing vs Shock Army of Acontecimento, which was mostly a Regulars Core Fire Team on one flank with two hackers, while a Knight Montessa with a HRL and Peacemaker with Auxbot locked down the other. Was the quadrant and hackable terminals mission.
