I took advantage of the MM sale to add to the starter Haqq box I picked up a while ago to play locally, but I'm curious, is there any good way to keep the rules straight for a relative newbie? Should I consider literally writing out what each of my models can do in explicit terms?

Flipswitch posted:I'd say familiarize yourself enough with just the core rules to be able to play them mostly unaided and just make a note of pre-reading special rules before you play so you're aware of what they do and double check if you're unsure. If you find keeping a record written down of what things do, then by all means do so. Maybe it's just been a while since I last started a new game (WMH and Malifaux are my main squeezes) but the number of special rules here is tweaking me out a bit  I'll just go as the two of you suggested.

is there a way to switch how models are listed in the army builder, similar to Forward Kommander for WMH or the Malifaux crew builder? Not having everything in a single list seems so goddamn clunky

If I'm primarily interested in the Military Order sectorial of PanO (mostly aesthetics), is it viable and is the PanO half of Icestorm a good start for it?

JoshTheStampede posted:Viable yes, optimal no. You'll use the fusiliers maybe and the father knight definitely in MO, nothing else from OI is in MO. You could proxy the Akal as a Crusdader brethren easily though. Hmm. With the terrain and the general usefulness of having Nomads for introing the game to others, I might go ahead and spring for Icestorm. Not too concerned about "optimal" at the moment. My fave is Haqq, but as I said I like the aesthetic, and I got Joan from buying Angel's book / am interested in the Dire Foes pack with the Haqq/PanO dudes.

MCPeePants posted:Yeah there isn't really much need to limit yourself. Going with a sectorial affects AVA (how many of a profile you can take) and opens up link teams (which are strong, but not overwhelming) at the cost of flexibility. Nothing wrong with starting vanilla, adding knights, then going MO when you have a better understanding of the benefits. I...do have Haqq  I was just thinking I'd branch out a little, that's all, particularly since I seem to be picking up some PanO knight stuff incidentally. I'll probably just go vanilla and pick up some Knights.

Those new Naffatun, goddamn. I'm hoping MM puts a sale on Infinity sometime soon, but between that and the Azra'il, I may have to make an order sooner rather than later.

Corbeau posted:I am so frustrated by CB's sculpting priorities right now. With both Zhayedan and Govads lacking models, CB has - in back to back months - decided that the right move is to release resculpt boxes of Naffatun and Jannisaries. I kinda like it because I'm newish and don't have any Jannissaries or Naffatun besides the starter box ones

With USAridna coming, I decided to take a look at the Aridna gallery on the CB website. Then I saw the Caledonian volunteers two-pack. What the hell, CB

I'm barely at 300 points myself, but I'm ok with waiting for the Guard, especially since the Naffatun and Jannissary boxes are coming soon.

Any Haqq players that can talk a bit about Kum Bikers? Find them useful? What about the three characters?

To clarify, the bike will be available later as a different sculpt, right? USAriadna is calling me, but wondering if I should just wait and dip in with the starter pack later on.

Van Zant is apparently CB-exclusive though. Man, I like how he looks, maybe I'll just order USAriadna through MSG and then do a small buy through CB's shop.

Can someone explain why people were disappointed that the new Janissary box features a ML instead of a HRL? As far as I can tell they seem to have their pluses and minuses, with maybe the B and range bands being slightly more attractive on the HRL, but the ML having an AP mode?

Pretty much. You could pick up the starter or the Ghulam specialist box and have a Ghulam doctor as well. Or run the Janissary from the starter (or the new Janissary box) as a Janissary doctor. Engineers or hackers are also nice, could proxy one of the Ghulams as a hacker.

I was interested in the Haqq/Ariadna ones as HVTs, but without a mini-only pledge option, I'm not sure I want to drop cash on the books. I don't really have any play options, so it'd just be for fluff, and...eh? $30 for the PDF can suck my nuts.

I was kinda holding off on buying the Maghariba Guard until the new version came out, but a friend of mine ended up buying one for me as a Christmas surprise I guess at some point I'll have two of them!

Will the same sculpt Ahl Fassed be available later? Because man, I'd really love it, but already have 3 rifle Ghulams from the starter (none of the others, though) and no current need for Yu Jing. I already have Haqq and some USAriadna, and even that's pushing it given how rarely I get to play.

From the computer code, I predict we're getting a new Matrix-themed army. Get ready for trench coats and a faction that starts going downhill starting with the second set of releases.

Speaking of CA chat, I recently got a good gift certificate for MM and was looking at picking up some CA. Both the Sith dudes/Batroids as well as the Morats appear the coolest to me. Is the starter box + Xeodron Batroids a good place to start? Any other Morat bits that are dece for picking up?

Pierzak posted:Which starter box? Yeah, I meant to say the Onyx starter, especially since it seems to come with both Morats and Sith robots. Sounds like Hungries are also a good starter for both Morats and Onyx? Might go Onyx starter, Xeodrons, Hungries to start? grassy gnoll posted:You missed the Onyx box going for fifty bucks by a couple of weeks, unfortunately. Still a good buy, though.  Ah well. 25% off is still decent in itself.

Welp, looks like I'm getting CA stuff soon after all.

Ended up getting the CA Army box, the Morat sectorial box, and Hungries. Sadly the Batroids were sold out by the time I got to the storefront, but still excite.
