If they don't release a rifle Chasseur standalone or boxed outside the Ariadna starter I will be very miffed. The Merovingian starter is horrible, and doesn't even have one! :argh: I just want more than one of the most cost-effective skirmishers in the game in my list :negative:

I needed more metros as well as another chasseur model, so I bought the HaqqIslam starter. Painted right the Ghulams make good Metros and the Hunzakut makes an excellent chasseur.

I also wanted Zouaves that weren't the sapper models (before they released one) and got the Halqa pair.

Good models, no regrets.

That's loving brilliant! I already collect Haqq, so this is the perfect compromise! Thanks, dude!

multi rifles

Nnnnnnnnngh. No. If used correctly, multi rifles are really good. It's what marks the difference between good and great players in my meta, the ability to use multis correctly.

Link teams of Lasiqs are baller as gently caress, but are a terrifying prospect to face on their own as well. I prefer rifles over the sniper version, but for a "gently caress you PanO/Aleph"-type list of Vanilla Haqq, I'd go with two rifles and a sniper, for a total of three Lasiqs. Seasoned with a naffatun or two and some ghulams, add Djanbazan to taste.

I'll see if I can whip up some lists in a little bit.


Multi rifles are useful when you know you're in a position to take advantage of the different ammo types. It takes a certain "fingerspitzgefühl" that I personally lack. So my argument remains:
:frogout: Pz. :colbert:

You can only take two lasiqs in vanilla Haqq thank christ.

Multi-rifles are cool while ordinary sniper rifles are not so much. DA and AP ammo :coolfish:

Right. Sorry. Drinking and thinking up lists while unable to read up on rules is a bad idea. :downs:

Hey, no worries, we're all friends here!

You see, combat groups each have their own order pools, and are a different beast altogether to link-teams. I think (not going to bother checking) you need a separate Lt. per combat group. And Hortism is right, you wouldn't want more than one combat group unless you're fielding a whole hell of a lot of guys.

Naffatun are straight up retardedly good, and played right, that Haqq list will slaughter the Pano. Either swap them out or give the pano something roughly equal. Naffatun are really cheap for what they do.

Ariadna is the most polarizing faction as far as aesthetics go. Either you want to play Infinity but you would prefer to use your Bolt Action mans, or you prefer badass space parachutist werewolves with crazy kilt mans rapelling down walls with sniper rifles that can kill almost anything.

I don't want to say there's a wrong way to play tactical man dolls but the first way is the wrong way.

Hey, Badass Parachute Werewolf IS French. Frenchmans also get the MANaconda.

It's more a trend I notice amongst Ariadna players that favor Ruskies. A Bolt Action army but with Infinity rules!

e: It's just a personal taste thing really. I don't get the appeal of modern military units when there's such a spread to choose from!

I know what you mean. I play Merovingia for Chasseur minelayer madness and Loup Garous personally, but I kinda want the MANaconda. Maybe later. I also play Haqq though, so I get both semi-modern and futuristic soldiers!

I like the gritty underdog aesthetic, not so much the werewolf thing. Much like how many Nomad players stay away from their furries. [citation needed]

Work is slow as gently caress today, so I am suddenly in the early stages of planning out a real terrain board for my group. How big should a real Infinity board be? I forget. I also really don't want to go to the official forums. Thanks in advance!

Edit: 4' x 4' sounds about perfect, considering that's what I already have to work with, table-wise.

I'm working on a Hassassin Bahram list, and I need help.

Here's what I'm working from:

Hassassin Bahram

MUYIB Rifle + Light Shotgun, Panzerfaust, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24)
MUYIB (Minelayer) Rifle + Light Shotgun, D.E.P. Viral Mines / Pistol, Knife. (24)

Any suggestions on what to cut/change to make it a) viable and b) functional for ITS?
Never really played Hassassin Bahram at 300 points, or 300 points ITS games, for that matter.

Note: The Farzan and Fiday stay. This is non-negotiable.

E: I love Muyibs

Its hard to tell in my terrible resolution pics but I basecoat with Reaper's Palomino gold (its a light brownish yellow), then mix a little bit of yellow into the Palomino gold for the highlight with a little Tusk Ivory for extreme highlights. Straight yellow just looks like a bad wig even with my admittedly cartoonish painting style.

Awesome, and thanks for telling me exactly what Palomino gold looks like, I'm grateful. I can't easily acquire Reaper paints in my area any more, so knowing what to look for is supremely helpful.

In other news: I'm killing myself over how I'm going to paint Joan's face. :suicide:

Muyibs. You don't have to go whole-hog and buy one of each, but you really should get one with a Spitfire.
E: The Muyib with Spitfire might not be as terrifying as a loving airdropped Spitfire, but the Muyib with Spitfire has an X-visor, which lessens or outright removes the penalties for firing outside your range. It's loving baller as hell.

But then again, why not grab both? :getin:

You also really want a Lasiq sniper. They are monsters.
