Infinity General: Built to Serve Edition

so what you guys hope for Tunguska?

So if my Scylla and her devabots activate Cybermask, do I have to replace them all with Impersonation Markers?

Securitate getting a total overhaul. Grenzers getting a HMG. The sectorial getting cool new units.

I think Grenzers will be fine with a Spitfire when they get Fireteam Core. Sure, HMG would be cool, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

Question is if Grenzers also get Haris, like Wildcats.

>total overhaul
And not say, something as functional as say, a 3-5 point discount?

I'd be cool with them just cutting off sixth sense and the light shotgun, leaving it at about 15 points. I wouldn't buy a Securitate for 20 points because it's still a schizophrenic mess of a unit. Leave SSL2 for the unlinkable dudes with scary AROs, not a line troop that's most valuable when linked.

I think they should go in the other direction. They've got a decent beginning for a good prowler-esque midfield infighter, maybe add a little something to really bring them into them own. A shotgun, repeater, slightly better stats, and a skill that protects them from nasty stuff. Forward deployment, or maybe something like an auxbot, and they'd have a real niche as a sort of light exploitation figure.

>when linked
Yeah, that's a kicker for them. Repeater and SSL2 are more or less useless en mass in a link team. The later's worthless on the base unit, and the former ends up being way too redundant.

Yeah, I'd like to see a nomad with some sort of Synch, and Tunguska would be a decent opportunity for it. The faction's fluff already paints them as being ass deep in REM development.

Tunguska really needs a basic line troop, though. Maybe a low AVA of Alguaciles could suffice, but I think it would be better for them to have their own. And 15 point walking repeaters with AVA Total and Interventor support sounds like a great time.

I think this is the innate problem with the Securitate. They've got a decent beginning for a a midfield infighter, a decent beginning for an elite line troop and a decent beginning for an ARO machine. But in the end they're shit at all of those things and would be better off if they were cut into a few specialized units and developed from there.

>Securitate getting a total overhaul.
I just want badass looking great coating wearing line infantry

When the Szalamandra resculpt arrives do you think it will be wearing a giant TAG greatcoat?

Quick, someone call Bostria! This needs to happen!

My pic as the OP, nice.

Also, I summon Robot Jones: explain this!

THICK

Quick question:
How stupid is it to take a TAG in a 150pt list?

Quick answer:
Very.

Oh, that's Clymene, an OC from the official forums.

Depends on the TAG.

cheap light TAG like a Gecko?

I think this would be the only one.

Best idea

...

You have stuff like Scarface and now Xeodron too.

Actually played a small game with Gecko. It was hilarious how big it looked in those small lists and how central it became in the game. King of a very small hill.

You think too small

>cape
>arms crossed pose
>shades
>yours is the hrmc that will pierce the heavens

Wanna match?

>tactical debris is remains of three different non-Nomad TAGs

Apparently Xeodron box will be 2-TAG after all Fuck yeah.

Not even close to competitive

>they're all.uhlans
>surprise szalamandra release replaced uhlan in june

all you white boys gonna lose to a TAG with mad ups

assume one of those fusiliers is an Lt

The fact that you arent picking Jotums or dragoes shows a profound lack of insight

You know, if you replaced that Bulleteer with a Sierra or an EVO Mulebot, this could work.

Please, those are all glorified target practice.
Everyone knows which PanO TAG a best.

Yeah, im sure that TO will do great against MSV 2. We're trying to kill a Marut here people

Hidden deployment, bruh

>Marut
>agains TO
>wasting precious order trying to discover them
>while he gonna slip up anyway
>Grunt cannot move

I'm actually surprised a bit that eight orders can fit in 150 points with a non-light tag

It's easier after you have killed the meager order support, myrmidon being the singular piece that can decently defend itself.. Hell, with minesweepers you can even steal them.

Interesting format we have here. 150 points, list have to incorporate at least one TAG.

All this makes me want to do now is run TAG + 8 specialists at 200pts ITS

Squalo, 2 Auxilia, Doctor, Engineer, 3 FOs and a Paramedic, WHAT COULD GO WRONG

...

So im planning on buying into this list so when the Kazak sectorial hits i'm pretty much prepared.

Thoughts?

Or alternatively going into the Morat with the attached

There will probably be new units coming out for Kazaks, and there will definitely be resculpts.

I'd expect a new batch of Line and Veteran Kazaks, as well as a new autocannon Tankhunter and probably another resculpted Scout (though the old Ojotnik Scout has aged very well)

Raktoraks are garbo unless you want a cheap filling for a Suryat link. AC Kurgats are pretty underwhelming too (which sucks, haris could have saved them). Everything else in that list is pretty good. Rasyats have old models so they're ripe for resculpts, but they're a good unit nonetheless.

How about this?

Yes

Or this little piece of obscenity?

Interesting. I didn't think robots were actuslly a thing, what with the Only One AI rule. Do Karakuri have rudimentary, unsentient software guiding them around? It almost seems like it would be easier to just hook them up to a human operator.

It's worth mentioning that remotes ARE guided by, well, remote, if need be, but the expert programs installed locally are sophisticated enough to be able to work without them. Although of course EW oversight is needed if you don't want them wandering off the moment some OPFOR hacker gets their mits on them.
>Only One AI
They're not AI. More likely very sophisticated programs.
>Karakul
Something to that effect, yes.
>Hook them up
Drones are enlisted as the operator is the officer. They can handle the jobs you assign them, but they require oversight for coordination and planning purposes, and for dealing with the inevitable hiccups.

"Obscenity" is the right word.
I'm having flashbacks to starting at 40k, 500pts, and bringing a meltavet Chimera.

A mate of mine sent me a starter for haqq islam while i was sick and i want to expand onto it cheaply, so what are your opinions on the following list?

...

...

...

...

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

Addition for the ass collage?

That shit is ugly. Reskinned tohaa just stupid

I don't see what you're seeing

Remember, if you lather yourself in peanut butter and have your Zondbot lick it off, its not gay because it's /your/ servant.

Why would it be gay? Zondbots are genderless and Zondcats have titties.

I keep seeing multiple people online saying that high WIP units are great with Flash Pulse, but doesn't Flash Pulse use BS Skill? It's a BS weapon, and it doesn't have the stipulation that Forward Observe has to use WIP. Are these people just bad at reading rules, or am I missing something?

Alright, CB, do you guys have any idea what you are doing to me here? I already play Combined Army because I find Unidrons incredibly sexy, and now you release these fucking things? Do you want to kill me?

It's a Technical Weapon, so you shoot with your WIP.

Sie sind böse und haben night genügend Mineralien.

Oh shit you're right, thanks user.

No, we only want you to submit your will (and wallet) to the hivemind.

Chaksa are ugly. Making it bigger and giving it edge makes it worse

Guess anything with reverse leg joints and guns under their hands is a Chaksa now.

Zhanshi Combi - Paramedic
Zhanshi Combi - LT
Celestial Guard Combi - Light Grenade Launcher
Hac Tao (Executive Order) HMG

Guilang Combi - Forward Observer
Tiger Soldier Combi - Hacker

300pts, 5.5 SWC

Usable list? Haven't really played since the switch to N3 and trying to salvage a Yujing army I made during second edition that isn't even close to 300pts anymore. I can switch pretty much any of the units for something similar that has the same weapon as all the models are conversions.

>reverse leg joint
It's called digitigrade. The joints aren't reversed, they just tip-toe all the time.

This thing's codpiece is making me uncomfortable.

Well, when chaksa came, people compared it to Ikadron, which itself resembles EI aspects that came before it. All the EI stuff share some aesthetics, which is fitting. Chaksas on the other hand were intended to look sturdy, which in turn was original Tohaa concept before they became the puppetmasters they are now.

Well, I have no idea what I am doing, but I want to field as many *drons as reasonably possible.
Xeodron haris is the aggressive part, Unidron core provides covering fire (though I am not sure about the missile launcher, considering the plasma sniper). Ikadron and Dr Worm make themselves useful as needed.

Daily reminder that random crits are fair and balanced

Yes? Why wouldn't they be? It's not like only one faction gets them.

Id rather an imetron reserve order than a second slave. Use a command counter to transfer to group 1

>enemy crits you on a 5 or less

>you crit on 2 or less

This is literally every time my intruder does anything. Instant gibbed by anything because my friend only rolls crits against intruders. Hmg V tac bow? Crit. MSR versus regular sniper through smoke? Crit. Every time. It's so frustrating I've stopped using them.

I love infinity. I love that crits exist. The whole thing fits how i imagine firefights: sometimes shit just happens. But I wish shit didnt ALWAYS happen to my intruder!

What are random crits?

So what is the best way to play Senor Massacre? He seems awesome but is he worth taking? Should he be run by himself or in a fireteam of Jaguars?

>Every time. It's so frustrating I've stopped using them.
Exactly the same deal with mine as well. Maybe I just don't know how to use him effectively. But I already made up my mind that instead of a skull I'll paint a target on his face.

Am I the only one whose passion for Infinity reignited after playing Overwatch?

same thing happens to my bulleteers. I have now fielded one just as a really fucking expensive distraction and win my game with auxilia and hexas

probably. I can't stand games that are only online multiplayer

Dunno, my Infinity high is running for almost a year now. And I thought Infinity was more like X-Com than Overwatch.
An Infinity shooter would probably be kind of like Overwatch though, maybe with Dirty Bomb style objectives.
