LOL, I feel your pain. To buy list on my return to the UK: Alguacile SWC box, 2 x Jaguar boxes, intruder hmg, alguacile hacker. I am also heavily considering buying some more of the corregidor icestorm models (I have a set already), and more intruders to do weapon swaps with. By the time I get back I expect the Mobile Brigada box to be previewed, and I'm sure to get that ASAP.

God give me the self-control to paint my current collection first.

So pumped for an EI sectorial, I already have all the models I need. But after seeing those, I apparently don't have all the models I want yet.

Those EI Evo devices look like mecha arachnids from Starship Troopers.

np. I was joking.

I thought the same thing about those EI drones.

About to order me a Fraacta BS, CA Starter, Ikadron Box and I'm thinking of getting a Charontid HMG, although I wasn't sure if these were about to get a resculpt or not.

Even if we get a resculpt the current HMG one will remain awesome.

Also, grab a Shrouded. I usually run two of them.

Yeah the current sculpt does look quite lovely.

This is eventually going to blossom into the Onxy force, just very slowly. :v:

I'm kind of pending to see what it'll get. If I hadn't sold my ISS this would be my 5th army.

Hi guys sorry I asked this before but just want to check - where/how should I get markers for things like cover, prone, etc.? I was going to use beads for orders so I don't have to buy or cut out a score of little paper circles.

I just bought my first wave of CA from the place, I haven't been this excited over a wargame in years.


My Ikadrons arrive next week so that's something to look forward to at least and enough to get me started, I got a fuckin poo poo load of AD but I couldn't resist a second Fraacta for a fiver.

I still have a bunch of Yu Jing to get done, but am now super excited to finally get back to the CA I had siting around. I wanted to expand from Shas to vanilla, because I loved the EI stuff, and now they're getting a whole sectorial.

Sorry Nomads, looks like your getting pushed way back down the priority chain.

I was trying to cram Ko Dali in there which I can do if I bin an Imetron for it but I basically lose an order which I think I'd prefer to keep 10. I'm relying on the Fraacta to really get some work done though and I don't have access to regular jump support.

Grab the support pack, the wormlets are very useful.
And a Shrouded, the FO is a must-have in most of my lists. The sniper is probably a better mini though :shrug:
If you have any Spec Ops events in your area, get a Treitak (or a Vanguard hacker from Cho).

So it turns out I bought the Haqqislam Bahram sectoral force (which I'm totally happy with because they look like BAMFs) - is there anything I should know ahead of time, or just get to painting?

Yes. It's a great addon box but a lovely starter. Run the Daylami as Ghulams. If this is your only box, consider getting extra Ghulams.

Proxy the Daylami as Ghulams and you're good to go to be honest mate! The Daylami are pretty awkward to use and not many people do actually use them.

Yeah, I kinda wish he had a little visual overhaul although being a space worm is cool I guess. I'm kind of edging out on picking up Shasvastii, I know they're all getting resculpts now. :v:

Okey doke! Running them as usual Haqq'islam rather than a sectoral force? What's the main difference between the two list-wise? I was hoping to get those Kameel remotes because they look pretty awesome too .

Flipswitch
Mar 30, 2010


Sectorials let you run fireteams of models which have the Linkable special rule basically. They do this at the cost of losing access to a whole bunch of the factions model types and can take more of what is left. To start with you can just run that as a starter for general Haqq and then go either way to be honest. :)


E: PZ, what do you think (and the thread at large I guess!) of the Maakrep, he seems a pretty cool dude. I'm immediately comparing him to the Nisse to be honest and CA seems to have more smoke options than PanO... soo..

Still bitter about the Vector :argh:

Seriously though, it's a good static piece if you want MSV2 coverage or table control. As I said some posts ago, his main drawback in my lists is that he's not painted while the Yaogat is :v:

That seems fair, he seems a cool dude. I really like these plasma carbines as well, quite hype to play with them.

Who the gently caress decided that a casting point on the Fraacta should be at the back of his head between the horns needs to be taken out of the back of CB and shot though.

Her head. Fraacta are all-female.

Also, check your Ikadron torsos, they've had some bad batches with extra metal in the organic vents, hard as gently caress to clean if you got a miscast. I reported mine, got another miscast, emailed CB asking what the gently caress and had Koni make puppy eyes telling me that the whole batch was hosed and he personally picked ones that were the easiest to clean (which they were).

It's a Djanbazan for CA. Definitely better than the Yaogat if you're running vanilla. Use it to shoot camo from across the table with the HMG loadout, though the sniper's not bad either (less reliable active turn sweep, more dangerous ARO threat - I'd take the HMG every time, but there's an argument to be made for the sniper).
