Why did ALEPH make a Nomad looking Aristeia fighter? Doesn't it hate the Nomads?
Zachary Miller
No, Nomads hate Aleph. It's actually hinted Aleph leaves Nomads alone on purpose so that humanity can survive if the Human Sphere gets destroyed.
Asher Fisher
Not all Aristeia! fighters are created by ALEPH. It's a pretty popular sport.
David Miller
Fuck off, lying ALEPH supporter.
Thomas Jenkins
Hopefully this guy means we'll finally get some rules for shields. They've been long overdue.

Reposting to help out another user shitpainter.
You may want to look into killionaires 90 minute painting on the official forums. If my (You) shitty photo looks ok to you then you may want to give it a try. Its all washes using vallejo thinner and glaze mediums. My white is actually 50:50 mix of white and silver so it didnt take rediculous amounts to get good coverage. Took a bit more than i wanted because i primed grey like a tard but oh well.
yo i've been out of the loop for infinity and i want to get back in. I have a morat agression force ?

I'm an Aleph player and I can confirm most of what Aleph do kinda result in odd fuck ups.
Hence Willam Wallace. Hence Avencina and so forth
Dylan Parker
Are you planning to get in with a friend ? One of the starter boxes? What factions are you looking to play?
Jaxson Hughes
A starter pack that you like the look of would be your best option. There are also 2 player starter packs that contain a starter rule book and some terrain. The full rules can be found on the coruvus belli website. The 300 point boxes might also be worth looking into.
Asher Phillips
I would actually say the 300 point boxes are the best value for money!
Nolan Scott

Jordan Bennett
Whats the best Bakunin list that can be made without any anarcho feminists or religious nutters?
Owen Barnes
I mean Wallace is a pretty obvious trick.
Aggressive Moderator link, Taskmaster duo, a bunch of Zeros and warbands. Missing out on Sin Eaters and Custodiers will hurt.
Colton Murphy
Pretty much what says. I tossed this together in a minute. You can go really REM heavy anchored by an EVO and Zoe/PiWell. Dunno if Avicenna counts as a religious nutter but a great specialist. Give all the moderators spitfires for shits an giggles. Complementary Taskmasters is always good fun. ZEROS FOR DAYS. Surprise Prowler too.I dont think they are Observance.
Do wacky shit with a HGL Lizard, Meteor and Vertigo.
Cameron Myers
Taskmaster spearhead with REM support. You still have best engineer and cheap camo KHD for the job.
Andrew Miller
How well would this list work? I just through in all the Bakunin units I like the look of, as a new player I have no idea if it's shit or not.
Angel Flores
You could go with another taskmaster and another remote in place of the lizard. But you won't regret buying any of those models, they look pretty sexy and they're used in successful lists.
You can use a TR bot in place of sin eaters...moderator link is really weak replacement for a grrl or nun link, but it could be worse, it could be a wildcat link. I wouldn't have that many spitfires, you want more combis for the LT shell game to work.
Dylan Brown
You have a general idea down but you do have some problems. The smart missile launcher wants some Forward Observers to paint for it. Id suggest turning one or both Zeros into FOs, while ditching the Uberfall for a stemplar and transductor zonds.
The uberfalls like having access to a large order pool to go on murder sprees. I traded them out so you would have another specialist that is fast and a nice little order generator that can deploy sniffers to help deal with camo. A decent tactic is to start the Taskmaster in the second group and having the Uber in the first; when the Uber inevitably dies, the Taskmaster can just hop back into the primary group thanks to Free Agent.
Other things I would do: swap out a spitfire Mod for a basic one and upgrade your paramedic to a hacker. First is to atleast somewhat hide your Lt, second is hacking programs to either fairydust your taskmaster or boost your REMs like having your vertigo have Burst 2 in ARO where it can slap around snipers.
Take out the vertigo, give the Lizard a HGL, and get an EVO REM. Lizard with an HGL can roughly fulfill the same role as the vertigo as you dont use SML on TAGs because of their ECM so bombing lightly armored infantry with templates will work wonders, especially if you have them Targetted by an FO for accurate Speculative Fire. Also the SML can be hacked in its guided mode to reduce its effectiveness which is a bitch to deal with, though an EVO can help with this as well. EVO bot is all around good to have for TAG defenses and boosting your other robots to killy bastards, also lets Stemplars detect shit thru walls with satlock with a bonus to WIP.
You should also try to fit in an engineer to repair your TAG and REMs. Zoe is damn good with a 0SWC hacking device and PiWell is a super stemplar, also they are separate units but are just purchased together, so Zoe can use Zondbots. Clockmaker is a more affordable option.

Charles Ramirez
Wildcat links are pretty mediocre for MI links and their design is showing its age, most often they feel like trying to use another factions sectorials LI link. If you only play corregidor/nomads I can see why they would seem solid though.
Some might argue the lower cost allows for spending elsewhere, but if the link isn't the focus then why spend the points to get it from alguacile/jaguar status to wildcats. They're a half measure when the whole measure exists elsewhere and there's a HI link option.
They work okay in corregidor, but it's mainly because of how much heavy lifting is done by the other units.
Adam Hall
They're solid. They're not powerhouses like Bagh Mari or Rodoks, but they're a versatile and reasonably cheap premium link with some good options that fit with the rest of the army.
There's a good middle ground between sticking a defensive 60pt link at the back to annoy the opponent and shoving everything into a HI link that only functions because CJC has such efficient specialists.
Honestly after seeing other HI links around I've noticed that the Brigada link itself is a bit shit, possibly the worst of its kind in the game. The only reason it's considered a good one is because Corregidor has fantastic cheap and mobile specialists like Morans and Tomcats. In most other sectorials it would be ignored.
Chase Davis
Hello! I'm new to Infinity, stupid, and have no idea what the fuck I'm doing! exsdee
admission made, I'm looking to make either a force with as many mecha (TAGs?) as I can. I like most of the factions, Pan Oceana, Nomads, ALEPH, Yu Jing.
I'm wondering if there's a faction that can play an all mech list, even if it's literally the worst one in the game that's okay with me.
Samuel Morgan
Either PanO or Nomads. But generally you really don't want all TAG list. You may think it's funny, but it's bad time for everyone involved. Even two TAG lists are considered pretty extreme (unless theyre snallest and cheapest ones).
Blake Cox
What about all drone lists (which Iassume needs a hacker to control them or protect them?)
Nathaniel Turner
Viable with Combined (lesser so with ALEPH). The problem with them tend to be that you need a lieutenant and robot usually can't be ones and having usänits with smaller base is beneficial. I advice to look at units that look like robots and even are them in fluff, but work on different rules mechanically, such as Skiavoro.
James Taylor
You definitely can't have an army of all big robots, usually they're a centerpiece you base the whole list around.
>PanO They have a variety of great gundams, definitely the most choice. However they're all meant to be taken alone and don't work well together.
>Nomads Iguana and Geckos are relatively cheap and can be taken together. They're probably your best bet if you really feel the need for multiple mechs.
>ALEPH They have one TAG. It's a good one, but it's only one.
>Yu Jing They're more about power armour than mechs. They've got big heavy infantry like Su Jian and Yan Huo, that may scratch your itch. But their TAGs leave a lot to be desired and don't do well in groups.
Another faction to consider for TAG-heavy lists is Combined Army. They have a few cheaper ones so you can have 2 or 3 in a list without gimping it horribly.
You need a lieutenant, and an engineer is a very good idea, but other than that yeah. Nomads are your best bet since their drones help facilitate their great hacking abilities. PanO, CA and Yu Jing are also good for remote-heavy lists, and Yu Jing in particular have a couple of heavy infantry units that are actually robots.
Jaxson Turner
They still lost control of Willam Wallace
Sebastian Sanders
Aristeia rules will probably be completely different from regular ones. As Infinity is a shooting game CC rules will remain limited; otherwise there would be more to CCW than "CCW" (a hammer is not the same as a sword).
Ryan Thompson
He's likely a sleeper agent. Look at all the shit the Nomads had to go through to make sure Avicenna didn't turn on them, you don't replicate that by hitting your head.
James Thompson
Which factions swould you say has the most fun TAGs to fight, or at least ones that aren't painful or unfun?
Would you recommend a lieutenant and engineer for a TAG list? What about a hacker? If I can take a model that is both a lieutenant and a hacker should I? Thinking interventors with fast panda. Because fast pandas are adorable.
Christian Sanders
I've seen Nomads fit 2 Gecko's an Iguana, and Scarface in a 300 point list with enough space left over for supporting infantry and hackers.
Brody Hall
TAG lists and remote lists are very different, but both benefit a lot from hackers and engineers. Interventors are incredible and a good lieutenant option. Just remember to keep them safe, they don't appreciate being shot at much.
Levi Gray
Yeah, Prowlers are Special Operations Command like Zeroes. Why isn't there much Prowler love out there? They they're the main reason I'd pick up Bakunin after having a legitimate reason to pick up an Uberfallkommando.
Daniel Brooks
Just from the get-go I really dislike Combined Army, so that's not what I will go for.
Right now there is noone who would split one with me, but I would not mind picking one up on my own. I have looked at Icestorm and Red Veil, both of which look kinda cool. However I have a hard time getting into any of the factions.
I know i don't like Combined Army and Ariadna, PanO seems a bit too ... bland? I don't know. The rest all seem interesting. Intuitively I would order them by Nomads/YuJing, Tohaa/ALEPH, Haqqislam, PanO, Ariadna, Combined Army. But any of the first 4 I think I would enjoy. I don't think I want to play a sectorial initially. Mabye once I understand the game.
I was not aware, that there are 300 point boxes. That seems like a good idea. Are they good value? Can you provide me with a Link?
Thank you all for your help.
Jaxson Martin
The Shasvastii user was being a cunt, it's like the worst point of entry.
Google "Tohaa Army Pack" or "Steel Phalanx Army Pack". Generally those are good value with little to no filler, but if you go Steel Phalanx you'll want the starter box as well.
Anthony Adams
Onyx 300 pack is sex
Jacob Wright
are the four leged robots hard to build? they seem to have very little joints and legs.
Xavier Cooper
A few reasons. It is a MI so its slow, not the biggest deal since he starts half way up the board but i think some people feel it should be like a SK when that is not the case. The spitfire profile is disliked because a 1W model that is costed like a HI is kinda harsh. Seriously, it costs 2 more points than a spitfire riotgrrl. The absurd 2swc is the main issue with that one.
Another issue is bioimmunity is kinda tacked on there and other than not being straight up deleted by some ammo is only good if you happen to have a doc nearby. Im not sure of the actual benefit of bioimmunity 2arm 0bts versus 2arm 3bts; i dont know how much bioimm costs to say if its a good trade.
However, the combi/adhl is probably the greatest skirmisher bully around and fun with a zero shell game.
I like pairing the spitfire prowler with an hmg intruder as buddy murder machines. Have smoke and white noise where appropriate for similar tactics. But i have to go out of my way to fit him in as i can find a better way to spend that swc.
Jeremiah Green
can anyone post there Haqqislam army list? I dont really what units are better then other so i want to have some sorta starting point
Colton Taylor
I didn't find them that difficult, they have grooves that make the joints pretty strong. What glue are you using?
This is about the average of what I field. Saladin, Ayyar, Al Fasid, Hunzakut, Muttawi'ah, and Hassassins Fiday are my favorite units from their combination of sweet rules and great look. The rest tend to be variations of specialists I find cool, usually a hacker like Al Hawwa to use the repeaters, and a LI/MI shooty guy like the Zhayedan or Djanbazan.
That's a list I'm gonna test in a full WAAC themed tournament we're going to have at my club
Caleb Lewis

Jordan Jenkins
Ive always been a fan of some level of increaced armour/mimetism and total+bioimunity but only from the front 180 degree arc. Also wouldnt apply while prone and could typicaly only be used with one handed weapons (light shotguns, pistols, smgs ect).
I always thought they would fit well with ariadna, sort of a 'low tech' and cheaper solution to better armour. Would make for very tanky units from the front but extremely vulnerable to flanking and with rather limited damage output.
Makes it a bit more interesting than just a flat ARM increace and/or mimetism anyway
Kevin Bennett
I mean yeah, but the rules bloat in infinity is big enough as it is.
Logan Jenkins
The Caledonians paid the nomads to replicate the process used in the Avicenna project to disable alephs communicstions methods in Wallace.
Brandon Carter
This is only a proof of concept and could probably stand to be refined.

Samuel Ramirez
>Honestly after seeing other HI links around I've noticed that the Brigada link itself is a bit shit
Oh no doubt. Trading the ability to use stuff like zeros, interventors, Zoe+Piwell, etc to play a wildcat or MB link is one of the tragedies of sectorials. Like jaguar/massacre links are fun and alguacile/Lupe links are cheap defensive options and both let you run wild with the rest of the points...wildcat/MB links are pretty constrictive in comparison and offer a relatively subpar selection. Personally I rate the MB link higher than the WC, but that's comparing mud to crap on my shoe - one doesn't smell but both are undesirable.
Daniel Smith
Honestly after seeing other HI links around I've noticed that the Brigada link itself is a bit
Well yeah, unless you're Haramaki or Riot Grrrls you can say that about every HI link.
Brigada have the strange spot where they can be 1 to 1 compared with Janissaries who are cheaper even with the same equipment for the same stats except better WIP. Sure, V:Courage is better than Religious troop, but not by much.
Zachary Watson
It's weird because they were really the revolutionary MI link and now the game has overtaken them. Sorta like the QK link-teams situation.

Isaac Morales
Your list is bad because you don't have 10 orders, if you go first you'll likely be starting with 7, and your heavy hitters will be hungry for more action that they just can't get.
Your T.A.G. has no one to heal her up (an engineer) and she's best supported with one and servant bot for the engineer.
You've got three people who can push buttons and do objectives, neither of which are particularly good at it because both Djanbazans are rather slow at movement 4-2, and the TAG pilot is within the TAG itself, which to get her out to do an objective is order inefficient, which leads back to the first problem.
Suggestions for the bare minimum you should do:
Take Kaysum Beg's on foot model and make him one more cheerleader, like a Ghulam, Naffatun or whoever else is regular (or perhaps buy the remotes box and take the 8 point regular remote). Downgrade the Panzerfaust Ghulam and your choice between the Hacker or Doctor Djanbazan to be able to fit your new corneguard/cheerleader.
Overall your list is skewed with many elite choices best supported by smaller point dudes. Be careful with Kaysum Beg as he's your Lt and if he dies you get to LoL, and that Kum chieftan isn't all that hard to take down with Armor 2 and no cover due to being impetuous along with high movement to easily catch you in traps you might not have anticipated like that Camo marker being a mine you fail to dodge or a sniper you didn't notice could see that spot you moved through
Joshua Murphy
MB are pretty much ORCs and everyone knows how those are viewed.
They need some kind of haris option so you can still run any of the other core links, plus multi/bsg/hmg makes me hard. Or have brigadas able to join alguacils or jaguars like other mixed core link teams.
William Thompson
Did your friend sell you the doctor and hacker Djanbazan and keep the rest of the box? The only Djanbazan you should be fielding in vanilla are the HMG, marksman rifle, or sniper profiles.
Carson Parker
First of all, HGL Squalo is the most worthwhile, Jotumn is more credible lt. Second of all, Total teaction remotes are boss. Third, you still most likely need that engie (you can even take more small robots with him!). Going sectorial with this kind of list is pretty iffy, as that lone garuda and maybe some AVA bonuses are all you get.
Joshua Cook
Mixed HI/MI/LI links all day.
Dominic Murphy
Thx. This would probably be a lot better. TR Remotes are hit or miss, and I'd rather have Enhanced Reaction from the EVO hacker on a Bulleteer with ODD.
FWIW, I wouldn't play with a list like this, even though I do often go pretty heavy on the Rem with my NCA.
It's important to note that it's okay for CJC to have MI/HI links because their other stuff is neat and they have McMurder and Senor Massacre(and Valyera Gomez to a much lesser extent) as unique options to provide a reason to stick with the sectorial. I do agree that a MB haris or even duo option would be fantastic though.
Wildcats and MB are showing their age, but it doesn't seem like an issue to fix, just an intended weakness. Bakunin doesn't have access to MSV2, ASA doesn't have access to smoke, etc so the balance is fine. It's not supposed to feel overly rewarding to play towards a factions/sectorials weakness rather than limiting exposure. Wildcats are near LI levels of worth because the BS 13 is taxed so much in nomads. In nomads that +1 bs is worth removing MSV 1 and downgrading mimetism to a BTS bonus, using Bagh Mari as an example.
Michael King
Total reaction remotes are only good early on in a meta before people have caught on how to counter them. Also on demand you can put any of the bots with combis or spitfires in to suppresion fire for most of the benefit of a TR bot.
Jordan Baker
The paints are fairly equivalent so thats okay, just google GW vallejo P3 paint chart or somesuch. but you are looking for acrylic thinner and glaze mediums. Different brand shave different formulations and thus have slightly different results. Mostly I would advise against GW for their overpriced and poorly designed pots as they needlessly expose paint to air.
Noah Anderson
I adore wildcats other than the 2swc hrl tax. That bts in cover is about as good as it gets plus makes the ahd profile a bit more survivable from other hackers.
I just want MB to get good use in the future where it doesnt feel like you are railroading your list if you include them.
Jordan Lopez
There is counter to everything, doesn't mean it's bad. With the support program that makes them ignore cover they can be real annoyance if you don't have the right tool at the right part of table. Though I usually face the CA TR bot, so I'm a bit biased, because those have mimetism.
Jayden Edwards
So is CB going to start producing more "manga" like Outrage depicting other parts of the Human sphere?
Angel Stewart
I'd imagine it depends how well Outrage sells. I got the image this was more of a passion project
Shame about those projects that died quietly behind the screens. Like that french comic about rogue Asura and O-Yoroi pilot, or the videogame project, that git cancelled, because the company went under.

I will never get over how stupid looking the Squalo HMG/HGL is.
I actually got into 40k because of the PS2 Firewarior game, kek. Infinity could easily be translated as Valkyrie Chronicles, but a themed single player game would probably be a better plan. I liked the play as a Bandit idea that was kicked around ending up as Intergalactic Nigga Batman; Grand Theft Everything.
Angel Lopez
>I will never get over how stupid looking the Squalo HMG/HGL is. Thats my favorite TAG.
Luke Roberts
Here's something I recommend for in-faction orientation. The link leads to the faction forums on the official infinity forum, where players post. Every faction should have stickied threads right at the beginning, granting breakdowns on the faction with general and unit-to-unit analysis, sometimes even seperate threads for sectorials.
The ones I've read so far were written and edited pretty nicely, and comprehensively. You might not understand some rules-related stuff or abbrevations at first, and you'll do a lot of tab-switching as you look up the models belonging to the respective unit names, but it should ideally give you an idea about popular units, why they're popular, what that means for the overall faction, and best case scenario, will leave you hungry for more.
