I always thought it was weird how loving far a mis thrown grenade would travel.

We've always assumed that it was a mistranslation, and was supposed so scatter 1" per failure (or 2.5 cm) and that makes it a lot more reasonable.

I remember thinking that too the first time I played.

That's pretty much the only really dumb rule I think I've seen in this game, but I haven't played it much :v:

This might have been covered but I didn't see it: do we have a price for the new starter set?

I'd love to get an Aleph sectorial that let me have Tacbot link teams.

I want to get Icestorm and split it, but I also want to get Icestorm and hoard all of the models. Of course it had to include both of the factions I want to start for the sake of their TAGs being rad as gently caress.

Fix posted:

Carlos specified that the new philosophy is that all rolls should have the opportunity for a defense, so no more unanswerable GMLs, maybe?

The Assault rule sounds rad.

Yeah, he said even if something is attacking you from completely out of LOS, you'll get the chance to at least try a dodge roll.

Genghis Cohen posted:

The new 'assault' rule was also questioned and explained as follows: If you start an order in LoF of your target, you can move the full 4-4 and then still strike in close combat. So that will help non around-the-corner cc attack moves for such models.

He also said that this gives you a -3 to your CC value, but I'm looking forward to it.

I really want to like Ariadna. However, I know deep down they, especially U.S.Ari are just Space Michelle Bachmann except the werewolf part isn't just an epithet.

I'll admit I don't know a ton about the fluff, but I genuinely don't know why you'd think that.

Ended up going one loss, one win, two draws. But one of those draws was kinda bullshit because I basically got tabled in turn 2 but had enough objectives to make it a tie. Felt a bit bad about that one.

There is no reason to feel bad about this :colbert:

how do subfactions work? Am I cornering myself if I just want to go vanilla?

Both regular Aleph and the sectorial are fine choices. The sectorial misses out on all kinds of cool poo poo so don't worry about not using it.

This is marginally on-topic, but are there any decent fantasy skirmish games at around the same scale/number of minis as Infinity?

Malifaux, perhaps?

(You should play Malifaux.)

The mechanics of that game are the only thing that even remotely interests me. I guess there are one or two factions that look cool though, but I was thinking more traditional fantasy than that.

JoshTheStampede posted:

Weirdly enough there isn't really a traditional fantasy skirmish game in the 10-model per side range that Infinity and Malifaux live in.

Yeah, the only thing that seems close is Mordheim, and, well, I like Mordheim but it's not the best.

Yeah, that's what I've found, so I figured I'd ask here. Does anyone else think that's weird? Because I think that's kind of weird.

S.J.: May 19, 2008; Just who the hell do you think we are?

The LotR skirmish game just uses the same basic rules as GWs other skirmish games like Mordheim, etc. It's not a bad game system but it's not super well made.

dishwasherlove posted:

Actually it doesn't. Mordheim is based on Warhammer Fantasy 6e rules while LOTR is an evolved version of their historical Wild West game or something. Completely different stats and combat resolution.

Other than the fate/might/will thing being the big difference, what else is different? I honestly don't remember the fundamentals being different at all.

e: I might be thinking of Gorkamorka rather than Mordheim actually

ee: Yeah I'm thinking of Gorkamorka rather than Mordheim

The stat names are pretty superficially different, it's actually the wounding chart that's the big difference in the LotR game from what I remember since equal values require 5+ instead of 4+, and LotR added in a push mechanic for winning fights and stuff

Ill probably get flogged because animu, but Anima Tactics is actually a lot of fun and all of the characters are very different. the TnA isn't too bad either for you boob haters out there.

Back to Infinity, I sure hope they dont spend time re-sculpting everything, I have a retardedly huge collection, I dont need any reasons to rebuy something I already have.

I honestly never looked at the Anima Tactics miniature game because the RPG is so loving bad.

EM and plama both seem really scary. I like the double-mode idea for the weapons, as it cuts down on a lot of confusion; most of the rules disputes we had at my club were over MULTI weapns andwha tthey coud fire at what bursts. "See, it says burst 3/2/1! That means it can fire 3 normal shots, or 2 AP shots, or one DA shot!"

The new stuff cutting BTS in half also seems a bit...excessive. Those values are not very high to begn with across the board, and th effect of failing the rolls are devastating.

I -really- like the CC changes that we've seen. Basically, if you let certain spcialist models get close, you start getitng only bad choices. Shoot him? He'll roll toward you, using his CC skill to beat your FtF, and maybe make it into close combat. Mob him with cheap stuff to delay (you'd be amazed how long a simple Keisotsu always manages to cling to my myrms despite one being supposedly a badass carver of meat)? They'll go down fast to crits boosted by +CC MA options.

Using the old rules the Paradiso scene in which Achilles beheads an Avatar felt like fan-wanking. With this chart and rules? My money is on Jerkilles all the way.

Martial Arts level 5 is loving crazy :stare:

That sucks, but it does happen. Too bad. Although I don't think I've ever seen one of those models in person.

Pretty sure you can still play with those models actually, you can basically use them as whatever.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, but you can still freely use the models with no repercussions. Sorry man.

They still have no natural hacker in faction. Not sure about sectorials, since those aren't in this book. They do get a merc hacker that they can take in ITS, a no-frills wip 13 dude. Most of their stuff has the "not hackable" skill which means they cant be hacked by programs that require a certain troop type (HI, whatever)

Something I just read: Huge change to coordinated orders. Instead of one order per troop, it's 1 regular order total plus 1 Command Token. Up to 4 troops can take part, one is the "Spearhead" who gets half his Burst, everyone else goes to Burst 1. Dodge is one roll against all of those.

Does the spearhead round up or down for his burst?

Elsewhere in the book it says halves are always rounded up for everything.

Then that's pretty loving sick.
