I can hardly tell any of the guns appart, let alone between factions, so I'll probably never make the effort to swap weapon arms between infinity minis.

We introduced Op:Ice to our club last night. Success! I think we must've played 15 games between us and everyone I talked to thought it was a lot of fun.

Guess I need to paint up my 150 pt CA army! Speaking of which, what should I add to get to 200 and then 250?

I have an asswang, noctifer, shrouded, malignos and two ikadrons (I'm using slave drone models because I'm cheap). I also have a skiavoros. I was thinking some daturazi or maybe just wait for the new starter.

Speaking of conversions, any good alternatives for the plasma arm on the skiavoros? I'd preferably want an arm with an actual hand, but at least be able to replace his super soaker.

I'm copying the OP for our local clubs forum if you guys don't mind. So far we are three Infinity players, but we hope to drum up some attention for this game.

If my shasvastii is killed by fire, does the spawn embryo need to keep rolling for the fire effect as well?

E: btw, Ko Dali kicks rear end. She landed behind his Nomads and killed a reverend healer and grenzr sniper. Then blew the brains out of a spektr as he came out of TO camo to kill her.

I interpreted it as the model being replaced by a counter which is its own "model", hence not being affected by its "parent" burning.

Dat spetznas.

I had my second and third "real" Infinity game today. One fan made scenario and one YAMS one. I can tell I have A LOT to learn, but the one thing I noticed in my two games today was that my Daturazi kept running out and getting gunned down, losing me orders early on. Any tips on how to work around / plan for using Impetuous troops?

E: also, my Aswang glued and ate some poor schmuck :drac:

I'm getting the impression of a very hard-hitting but very fragile army here. Sort of like JSA, except with a metric ton of advanced tech.

Thanks man! About to order that starter as soon as it hits the online stores. What are the stats for Plasma carbines?

I give up on daturazis. Tried them for three games. They either run out and get shot to death or like today, failing four smoke grenade throws in a row and getting shot to death.

After that I tried the new unidrons and they murdered face with their plasmas. Good thing I proxied the dats before I bought them (I probably just suck at using them though).

The model doing the ARO decides when to perform it, so can be before entering cc, while the active model is outside of cover and so on.

I ordered the CA starter before christmas, and 30. January they replied telling me they'd get a new one in a week :(

Also, this game is really hard to learn. I just can't get my head around the order mechanic and deploy accordingly.

What does people think of netrods/imetrons? I was thinking I could use a hacker to get +3 PH for all AD the first turn and then drop a few rods + AD troops, but that is four orders that won't be spent on anything else that turn.

So is there a rule of thumb as to what type of models/weapons you should have in a list, how expensive a model you can "get away with" in low point games and so on?

I found this while looking for terrain inspiration. Is it legit advice?

We play mostly 150-200 pt battles (we are just starting up and I'm one of the two who started Infinity in my group) and I think its hard to know what to take in a list. Playing CA, all our "standard" rifle guys aren't really that standard and there are so many weird (and expensive!) tricks in the list so its hard to know what I should or shouldn't use while playing such low pts.

My last game my unidrons and imedrons sat outside their weapon range and was shot down while my cloaked guys got discovered and killed pretty quickly. For one I was far to aggressive (objective was to map enemy DZ) and the terrain was terrible (lots of corridors between DZs meant his HMG and sniper guy had a field day), but aside from that its hard to know what tools to bring.

Sorry if this has been answered before and I probably just need to play the game more.

I'm new to Infinity and all, but to me it seems like kind of a dick move to refuse to tell your opponent stuff he could look up in the army builder (whenever it arrives).

I'd probably wouldn't care, but some other grognard might as well be "you won't, huh? I guess I'll spend the next 10 min trawling your army list then!". I think it reeks of passive-aggressive behaviour, but to each his own I guess.

None of the Gadget programs are usable in ARO. You can check out the hacking programs table (p153) to see what programs are usable as an ARO.

e: The main "defensive" tools that hackers bring are either ARO-only programs against very particular enemies (vs guided weapons or vs combat jump troops) or they're Fairy Dust, which is just a piece of supportware that you spend an order putting up each turn. These are potentially very very useful, especially Fairy Dust if you're running a bunch of HI, but they're fairly limited.

If you count attacking back as "defensive hacking", there are more, like Gotcha! or Sucker Punch. Just wanted to point that out for other people like me who thought you meant "these are the only hacking problems you can do in ARO".
