There's an alternate Daktari, the new nuns can have skinsuits painted on instead of naked legs, the Chimera can be reposed into an aggressive pose (and/or given a weapon), and everything else is just Nomad-weird instead of cheesecake. Where there's a will there's a way. Proxies, model selection, conversions, a lot of space to have unsexist models if you want them.

_{(is this the stage where we post Savonarola's ALEPH dildobots or not yet? )}

And I'll be making a sectorial-focused intro to supplement the above list. When I get around to it. Eventually.

The guns' color scheme could use some breaking. Like a second, non-metallic color, or more visible highlighting.

Corbeau posted:

Also, worth noting re: beginners, don't be afraid to play vanilla if you're not absolutely in love with a sectorial. Frankly I think the versatility of vanilla Haqq is stronger than being able to field a sectorial link team. While links are nasty, there are tools and tactics that can wreck them - and if you're playing vanilla, it's easy to bring those tools.

Also, this. Don't buy the Kool-Aid that vanilla is dead and links are king. Vanilla has a ton of awesome options. Tiger soldiers? vanilla. Hac Tao? Vanilla. Naffatun? Vanilla. Exrah and EI constructs (including the mighty Anathematic and the loving AVATAR)? All vanilla.

I was thinking of getting back into 40k and balking at the cost a little bit, so I stumbled over here, did some research, and I like what I see. The main site is a little difficult to navigate as far as miniatures are concerned, is there a resource that clearly divides things by faction AND sectorial as well? I don't really understand the sectorial distinction, I guess.

Yes. Use Aleph Toolbox, make a sectorial list, every unit has a picture/link to the official gallery.

So what do people do for terrain? I've googled infinity terrain and it seems really expensive to purchase, do people make their own?

The MDF buildings are mostly for people with too much money, no free time, or who want to have durable terrain for the club. From what I see people usually make their own or mix it with purchased terrain. Fix here has made an awesome Haqq board, you can also check the Data Sphere forum, it's very terrain-oriented.

That's old news. No one expects a Super-Jumping HMG in a Shasvastii link. Or a Holo1 "Charontid" minelayer "LT" (actually the 65 extra points go towards a Sphinx). Or... you know the drill.

And the Muyib/Hafza Spec Op base is bullshit. I want a Caliban Spec Op so I can take it deployed :argh:

There is no meta. Or rather local metas vary wildly. In my neighborhood there's a shitload of Ariadna/Haqq players, with some Corregidor lemmings emerging and a tiny bit of everything else.

As for sectorials, I'd say ISS and Hassassins are the least popular.

VVV: The gently caress? Everyone and their mother plays QK. It's like 95% of Haqq players.

Does anyone use/face linked Suryats? I never used them before Paradiso, and when they got cheaper/weaker I find them kinda... meh. They do have fun options though, is Raktorak/combi+LFT/HRL/Vulkan really worth taking an otherwise unremarkable HI link, or am I missing something important?

And as much as it hurts to say it, Pretas are undercosted. Give the mines to Gakis and we'll have something resembling balance. (and bring back the loving biomines :argh:

VVV: OTOH, you get awesome spec-ops. Why a Muyib? I'd love a Caliban one instead of the lovely seed version :rant:

So I just picked up the Asuka Kisaragi & Aragoto box and does anyone know of any guide on how to assemble them?

The basic riders are easy but there are foot pedals and junk that I can't quite work out where they're meant to go. Is there some kind of guide somewhere, or could someone help a goon out with a photo?

An Aragoto should consist of: basic motorcycle body and rider (obvious), handlebars (where handlebars go, symmetrical to how you glue the one with rider arm - they seem to slide), right foot rest (larger - there's a groove on the back of the lower motorcycle body where it's supposed to go), left footrest (small - there's a hole for it on the other side where the right pin is). Use the gallery photos for reference, if you have problems getting a good shot Giraldez has 360o pics on his blog.

Can someone clarify how Coma works exactly? The PDF makes reference to the sepsitor, but a daturazi isn't equipped with one, so what does it do?

If you take a Daturazi in a vanilla list with a Sepsitor-equipped unit, after taking out his first enemy the Daturazi has an option to activate Coma; this will kill him, but until the end of this turn you can use Sepsitor as if that particular dead Daturazi was a repeater, i.e. also on any target within 8" of the Coma, regardless of where the Sepsitor actually is on the table.

VVV: If you mean the uberpost then yeah, actually wrote a part last night. The CA one should be ready within a week or two. And the Cube doesn't do anything on its own, it's there to get sepsitorized or disabled by EMP, unless you're playing a campaign.

As for CA, let's see it's been a while. Most likely a vanilla list at 150 pts because the cheap CA links are a bit meh...

COMBINED ARMY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1

3

SKI�VORO Lieutenant Plasma Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, CCW. (56)
VECTOR HMG / Pistol, Shock CCW. (1.5 | 35)
DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (14)
DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (14)
IKADRON (Bagagge, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (9)
IKADRON (Bagagge, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (9)
�METRON Electric Pulse. (4)
�METRON Electric Pulse. (4)
PRETA Chain Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / CCW. (5)

1.5 SWC | 150 Points

Open with Army 4

aka yes I lack basic troops but it's still 150 points. Pretty fragile, but still.

The Morat 200 pt starter:

MORAT AGGRESSION FORCE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1

2

YAOGAT Lieutenant Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust / Pistol, CCW. (31)
YAOGAT Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust / Pistol, CCW. (0.5 | 31)
YAOGAT Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust / Pistol, CCW. (0.5 | 31)
YAOGAT MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 42)
YAOGAT Spitfire / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 35)
DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (14)
DĀTURAZI Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (14)

4 SWC | 198 Points

Open with Army 4

Self-explanatory. One-trick gimmick but a full Yaogat team is still terrifying no matter how you look at it.

These three are my demo lists so were constructed to avoid the more powerful combos, might use some improvement but still:

DEMO CA 150

Skiavoro (no sepsitor) - LT
2x Seed combi+LGL
Morat HMG
Aswang shotgun
Daturazi chain

eNozM1RVNTQ1UDVWNTRUM1UzrDFWM4KThmDSDEwamauZqBmqlpkAAAUZCrc=

DEMO MORAT 150

2x Yaogat combi/PF - 1 is LT
Morat HMG
Zerat sniper
2x Daturazi chain

eNozM1JVNTQ1UDVWNVYzUzOsMVYzApKGYNJCzQRIWiJI1TITAPKrCmY=

DEMO SHASVASTII 150

Aswang combi - LT
Seed combi
