Real quick rules question/scenario thing. There is a two story building (with a solid floor), with one model in the bottom floor and one model on the top floor. Both are Hackers. Both have Stealth. If the model on the top floor declares a move order (within the ZoC of the bottom), the bottom model does not get an ARO, correct? If the top model then shoots a weapon (light shotgun, for example) at a different target, would the bottom model then be able to make an ARO?

Cat Face Joe posted:https://its.infinitythegame.com/challenge/b4ckd00r-crisis When I read this I thought it was just one faction. It's all of them but the winner. Wow. I dearly hope they have some trick up their sleeve to compensate. While I do kinda like the idea of it, and I like that they treat named characters as plot devices, this seems harsh for no reason.

Ideally they introduce new characters to be the ones removed, or to be a sort of replacement for the old ones removed.

I've tried her in Bakunin a couple of times and she works ok there. She's a 6-2 mov NWI specialist, with a WIP 15 tech weapon - but you can nearly get two units to cover those traits for the same cost in haqq, so I can see her being as useful there. TwingeCrag posted:Real quick rules question/scenario thing. Yeah, correct. Stealth only applies to movement short skills or cautious move. A jump or climb order would also not benefit from stealth (unless super jump or climbing plus).

Rules Question, this came up in a tournament game recently: can you use the Blackout hacking program to disable a Ghazi's Jammer weapon?

Flipswitch posted:Ideally they introduce new characters to be the ones removed, or to be a sort of replacement for the old ones removed. Yeah, that would be good. Use it to rejuvenate some older character profiles. Even mix it up and swap some characters around. As for jammers: yes. Blackout works against anything with the comms trait, which jammers have. Doesn't help against e-marats, though.

You have a ton of doctor +'s and the only big ticket dude, the asawira, can link with a doctor + and has regeneration to boot. In Bakunin, she is not worth it in normal-style, 16+ model nomad lists, but she is really good in limited insertion. Plays well with Taskmasters and Riot grrls, and costs less than a reverend healer.

Speaking of HB....one thing that was kind of amusing in that disaster of a tournament I was upset about earlier this month was how frustrated the HB player I played against in my third game was by the fact that most of the weapons I was using on him were Shock, so all the doctoring in the world didn't mean squat.

So what's the reasoning behind KHD's having Cybermask as a thing? And what's the benefit to the Impersonation state vs, say, TO Camo? Unrelatedly list writing sucks, and I'm not great at it, and I probably find it the most frustrating part of the game.

Pierzak posted:In other words, reward failure? I do see your point there, but it just highlights the bizarre decision they've made. I would have thought the #1 rule for this sort of in-game reward would be to dangle a prize in front of people, so they can get something new. Don't threaten them with taking something away. Apart from anything else or the reaction of their community (which I bet will be overstated online; in practice I doubt any ban of characters would be enforced by most tourneys) do they really want to select a few models based on fluff and potentially tank their sales for 6 months? What could they possibly gain from this?

Cassa posted:So what's the reasoning behind KHD's having Cybermask as a thing? And what's the benefit to the Impersonation state vs, say, TO Camo? Not all KHD bearers have their own camo, especially Haqq ones. Impersonation state allows temporary protection and allows you to strike with a Surprise Shot -3 MOD on the next hacking attack. TO and Camo KHD owners should use it only to get around mines (impersonation does not trigger them), otherwise they are better with reentering camo state.

Oh man, just have to share what happened in a game with a buddy last night. Long story short, his Maghariba Guard is locking down a TON of real estate, and just ARO killed my K1 Combi, severely gimping my ability to deal with it. In desperation I move one of my other triads across to try and advance out of the Biotechvore zone. After the Kumotail in the triad falls to an unopposed explosive shot from the Maggie, they move again, and the four shots from the Sukeul HMG, needing 13s to hit, come up as.... That's right folks. THREE crits! When does that happen!?!?!? Anyway, the rest of the game was fun too but hoooly poo poo.

They be from Warsen.al and they be acrylic and pretty neat. Once the LOS fan thingies have fully dried I'll set up a board and take some snazzy pics. Also that Charontid gun is the same size as the Maakrep. It's yuge.

RIP my Xeodron, he angered the Yan Huo in it's +3 range band. (fifth die is off camera). My noctifer exacted a swift revenge immediately afterwards but yikes. edit: My opponent wanted to point out that it was YJ dice that crit and PanO dice that failed to even hit.

Does. So does the ariadna chick with the light rocket launcher - sculpt at least. News is 5 new sectorials this year, probably. They won't be shasvastii or triumvate, they may be coming out next year (development starting end of 2018). There will be more non-aligned armies drop this year, potentially as unanounced army updates ala Druze. O-12 won't be one, but Saladin is meant to be in it. poo poo load of aristeia chars to drop this year (another 12-16). Maybe a new book, but it'll be a smaller one than previously - more the size of the ITS season 9 book.
