Those new Kuang Shi look way better imo. I'm just happy they'll be in the right scale. I've honestly been avoiding buying certain things because it'll look too small and I'm weird like that.

I snagged some Ninjas to go with my Hac Tao in the TO cup game, anyone used them much as vanilla YJ? Probably paired up with some Guilang FO's/AHD, as they've been super dang useful in every game.

Looks rad, but if they're doing one box for EFGS, we're probably not going to see a collector's edition with the metal minis.

Skin done on Nexus, working on his hair cables and back dots now. I've inadvertently made my Nexus a ginger, the fucker already had a big enough target on his head.

Not only does that Irmandinho look good, I actually really dig the new Garuda designs. The right combo of a readable silhouette and an inhuman design. Boarding shotgun is pretty sweet too.

Oh yeah it's a good model and the boarding shotgun is a great choice but they just released the Spitfire and how many Garudas do we really need. There's so much more that needs resculpts that see way more table time (ie the Irmandinhos).

Cassa posted:I snagged some Ninjas to go with my Hac Tao in the TO cup game, anyone used them much as vanilla YJ? I have played against ninjas quite a bit and agreed that the KHD is the most frightening. My ninja tips, from experience: - Take the KHD. Stealth + splitch works great. - Take the bow. Combi is too many points for someone who is usually dies. - Ninjas need to be in CC. Don't shoot with your ninja in the active - he is lame and average at shooting, but will insta-kill anything he can get btb with. Invest extra to get him there. - Since you need to invest in the ninja, reveal him in turn 1 and make him part of your offensive plan. He is too expensive to play defense sitting around in HD. - Turn 3 ninjas blow. You won't have the orders you need to get them in CC and they are bad at shooting. Don't do it unless the mission rewards it (quadrant control, etc) I find it the hardest when the ninja KHD turns your flank, re-camouflages, and ends his turn tucked around a corner. In that situation, it takes special tools to get him out and it might not even work, so a lot of times I just have to ignore and deal with it. If you find yourself trying to play defense and shoot with the ninja, I'd take the guilang instead... he has better tools to play that game, like mines and suppressive fire. The ninja's TO camo is nice, but it will never protect him in ARO. his ability to win shooting FTF just isn't there.

Probably. Quick rules question I couldn't work out how to find on the wiki, if my LT is a camouflaged marker on the board, I'm not in in loss of lieutenant am I? Relatedly, if I took a Tiger soldier, would I be in loss of lieutenant until they arrived on the board?

LT on the board as a marker is A-OK, although obvious in some lists and undesirable in others. LT not on the board, whether airborne or hidden deployment or whatever else, puts you in LoL.

When taking a camo LT you can confuse your opponent by taking basic blank infantry and pretending to play a shell game in order to bait out AD and impersonators. TO and AD Lieutenants are worthless, because you pay premium on the SWC (2 on Dasyu LT holy poo poo) purely for gimmick value. Deploying without hidden option or going second and hoping to come out on ARO to avoid LoL is just a needless challenge.

Even getting my arse kicked was good fun (musashi is a loving waste of space). The rules are tight, it flows fast, you never feel bored or feel the pace drop. A+ WILL EXPAND.

Well, finally reassembled my Su Jian that suffered death-by-floor the other day last night, including spending about 10 minutes pulling animal fur out of the primer with tweezers. Most annoying part was that the tab that goes in the hole for the tail broke off in the hole, so I had to use green stuff to reattach the tail. At least I can now proceed with painting it. I really hope that the Su Jian are in Invincible Army and are AVA2 there(which kind of makes sense, the IA is supposed to be the creme de la creme of Yu Jing technology), because I now own 2 of them because it seems like it would be fun to run a Duo when I play ISS.

I feel like I've heard about the 'Invincible Army' being just about to come out since I first started this game, and on a whim I searched this thread and it was mentioned back in 2014. Duo+ Su Jian would be super fun for sure.

Cat Face Joe posted:Don't get your hopes up. Eh, I think there's a pretty good chance we see another book by the end of the year. They traditionally announce some big thing at Gencon (early summer sometime?) and I believe they've gone on record as saying they have a big announcement this year as well. I have not done much Infinity recently, been focused on 40k, but do you really think the game is not being developed well or something? I think they are steadily releasing good resculpts and gradually introducing very cool new ideas.

We'll probably get the next book and I believe we'll see new sectorials soon but I'm not going to get excited. We spend too much time in this game looking forward to things. At some point it needs to settle or have a clear release schedule going forward. There are people who talk about waiting to start certain factions before a sectorial comes out and they've been waiting for years. The closed battle lists printed in the season 9 documents didn't help. Varuna was stated as the next PanO sectorial but now we've got lists for something that is likely years away and people went nuts over them. As far as the company, I believe CB is stretched way too thin. We regularly see units mislabeled, Army has glaring mistakes, they released the physical season 9 book with a ton of issues that still aren't clarified, and they've been promising certain things forever with no indication that they will ever be released. It's great that people are excited about this and, to your point, it's true they've been releasing good sculpts and have good ideas (except for FA2 and FAT2) but they either need to ease back or hire more.

As much as I like to poo poo on modern CB, poo poo still gets done, mistakes in the Army don't get fixed because people prefer to bitch about it instead of submitting a bug report, and stuff that's been promised ages ago hasn't changed recently *cough* combi Aswang *cough*. CB still needs a kick in the rear end on some issues, but it's nowhere that bad. ed: here you go:

The SF has angles and blocks while the ML has domes and nubs. It's OK to get excited but the number of people pounding themselves raw over what may be gets ridiculous.

Cat Face Joe posted:It's OK to get excited but the number of people pounding themselves raw over what may be gets ridiculous. I do take your point, but I put most of that onto the over-keen fans rather than the developers. While it has taken them a while to produce new rules, there are already what, 16 sectorials in Infinity? People immediately seized on one mention in the background (and it's not as if there is that much meat in the Infinity background) then that's fine, but I doubt many people were putting their gaming experience on hold until a certain sectorial gets released. Not including you in this, but there is a weird entitlement I see in some miniature gamers on the internet, they get positively offended if their chosen company makes a design choice they dislike, or doesn't produce the hinted-at or yet-to-be-sculpted unit they have gone nuts over right now, godammit! As soon as something they do like gets released, it is forgotten or dismissed as old hat. I get the impression that with some people it's more about the anticipation and following the news online than it is actually enjoying the game or the painting and modelling side.

I'd rather have CB release new sectorials slowly rather then rush them out and have them be wholly unbalanced, game-breaking crap. I mean, I'm dying to play a re-released Shasvastii sectorial, but whatever, I can wait. It's not like I lack for other interesting factions to play.
