Does anyone have an awesome 300 or 400 pt Tohaa list?

If I can't get more focused on Tohaa, I am probably going to end up buying into USAriadna. (poor impulse control in this thread)

It is all Angel Giraldez' fault. I just want to paint those toy soldiers!

I bought the USAriadna box, a 112, an Engineer with Control Box, and Traktor Muls.

Tomorrow, I am playing a 200pt game of Tohaa against Pano. I am looking forward to learning more of the rules!

I tried a 16 model Tohaa list with four triads, and a total of eight specialists.

I couldn't do poo poo to the Aguila Guard on the other side of the table. That fucker rolled three ARO crits in five shots. It was ridiculous.

Then, I got him Targeted, and I was like "That dudes gonna die! ... Oh. WTF. Guided Heavy Rocket Launchers don't do AP+EXP. Guess I lose..." Five rockets did zero damage.

I have no idea how Tohaa is supposed to deal with that. I did bring the character with the K1 rifle but she got shot by one of those crits.

Edit: if we hadn't run out of time, I probably would have taken the lead on points in the third turn. We are still learning, so we spend a lot of time consulting the rulebook.

It seems like E/M grenades are pretty important. Kotail, the super-jump holoprojector guys get them, even in a FO layout.

Flipswitch, I have noticed Sakiels and Clipsos can carry Nullifiers. Would those shut down your ridiculous Umbra Legates shenanigans?

I can't imagine taking a Nullifier Clipsos, to be honest, when the alternatives are a specialist or a minelayer.

This is going to sound stupid, but is minelayer just a free mine at the start of the game?

Can you do it and still use hidden deployment?

Ambush Camo on USAriadna's Rambo: it let's you place an extra fake token? Seems pretty great.

Comboed with Minelayers and other camo guys... seems really good.

Edit: I like that mine that is actually an Igao fake out.

NCA is pretty much the low-mobility army, though you can get some additional mobility options by bringing remotes and, at higher point levels, possibly a TAG.

If a PanO player is worried about camo, they need to review the Aquila Guard.

MSV3 is not as amazing as it used to be, but it is still great.

Vvvvvvvv: MSV3 ignores camo modifiers, ODD, low visibility zones, smoke, ignores surprise shot/attack penalties, and automatically passes all WIP rolls to discover camo'ed models.

Alternatively, gently caress it because the base above is fixable with simple retouching with grey.
More hints: lay the brush flatter when doing hazard stripes, easier to make them straighter that way. Also, blood pool - either Tamiya Clear Red or GW Blood For The Blood God (their technicals are the only stuff I'd buy from them), take a poo poo brush and stipple it on.

In other news, I finally stopped losing minis in my home and organized my Infinity painting queue :toot: the bad news is that my Infinity painting queue is 12 pizza-sized boxes, not counting commissions :suicide: I might have a problem.

So all of my infinity stuff got stolen over the weekend. I was going to my girlfriends place after a 200 point ITS tourney(took 1st woo!), and left my battle foam bag in my trunk. The thieves popped the driver side lock, took the change in my ash tray, and found a fancy, expensive looking black bag in the back. Suffice it to say, i'm pretty bummed. I was house sitting my parents dog for the last week, so literally every single infinity model I owned was in that bag since I had 3 tourneys that week.

I'm the saddest about losing my Angel Giraldez Joan of Arc book model. I had just gotten it on tuesday(for free) from a local guy who happened to have an extra. Really lovely weekend. Any suggestions on how to get a new one without spending insane dollars on ebay?

What is the deductible on your rental/homeowners policy, and how many miniatures are we talking about?

Basically, is it worth making a claim? Probably not, because this isn't GW.

Sorry to hear about that. What all did you lose?

I am a sucker for theme forces, so of course i love USAriadna, NTCA, and Military Orders.

I never really even tried to make non-sectorial armies, but after reading the previous post about Ariadna I looked across the whole list.

Wow! I had never even thought of having access to all those Warbands. I will be sticking with USAriadna, but wishing I had more of those Dogwarriors and Antipodes.

Having veteran players around keeps this poo poo to a minimum. Also, if it sounds fishy don't be afraid to say, "i have never heard the role explained that way. Could you please find it in the rulebook, and explain it to me?"

At a tournament if you get that feeling, dont be afraid to shout for a judge. Little rules calls can be cleared up quickly and educate everyone within earshot.

I think it is more of a symptom of new players or people who read what they wanted to see, as opposed to assholes.

Assholes get drummed out over time through peer pressure/never getting games.
