Infinity General: I'm not a robot Edition

I recommend any of these: Pheonix, Nesaie/Thrasymedes (to get Thorakitai team going), the NCOs (Drakios/Scylla), Acmon+Dactyls. The Rebots and/or Probots are also useful

If you want to play low model count, Hector is a great addition. I often run him in a Dactyl link.

Well...Netrods are pretty important and theyre ava2 in SP. Yudbots can be useful too.

Svalarheima and Paridoso both are owned by PanO and Yu Jing

-Svalarheima will have a panO viking army while I think Yu Jings White Banner army is based from there

Cool, are those the only two places the have to armies?

Well they do not have armies yet. But they will eventually have sectoriols. Paridaso is also owned by the Combined Army fluff wise.

Oh important to note, Sol, aka Earth is owned by basically all the human factions except Nomads. So you can have them duke it out on earth fluff wise easily enough.

Do any of the factions have diplomatic communication with the Combined Army?

Alright so I got the hq ones and some of the LQ ones done and orginized. I also have some artwork of the factions. Only ones I did not have were the CA, since no real interest in them and been doing this for a few hours now scouring google and other links.

If I missed anything let me know cause I would want them as well

sendspace.com/file/ykrr4u

The Combined army is here to conquer everyone, so not really. They are sort of the big bad of the setting, even if the other factions do not want to set aside their goals to fight them completely.

Have Phoenix. Should I worry about getting more basic troop going, or is now the time to acquire more heroics? I'm okay with more heroics. Eventually I want to run big A himself. Just curious.

And Ariadna obviously.

Haqq has a very limited presence as well.

oh forgot to mention Ariadna not really having a pressense there.

Yeah, basically Pan-O, YJ and a bunch of smaller nations run Earth.

Anyone have the pick of groundskeeper Willy complaining about PanO

2/3s of Svalarheima is owned by PanO. The other third is YJ.

PanO holds a good part of Earth and Paradiso. However, every faction has settlements on Paradio as well. PanO and YJ (iirc) has colonies on Dawn (ariadna's planet).

There's also mention of Human Edge which is another shared system.

Well, you already have thorakitai from the starter and myrmidons from the box/starter. Besides a character to open up Thorakitai fireteams and Dactyls for extra Eng/Doc support (maybe even Acmon if you want to field a fireteam), the rest is just a matter of whatever the hell you want to run. Eventually, you'll gradually end up getting them all like I did.

Humans Edge is owned by corporations basically, and merc factions. At least this is what is said in the RPG. Mars, the moon, Venus, and several moons around jupiter and saturn are also colonized in the Sol System, some are independent of the major powers but some also owe allegience to the major powers.

Thread reminder, ice losers a shit. I repeat, ice losers a shit.

Varuna coming soon®

Based kamau resculpt, ava2 cutter and smoke and stun nades incoming

Interesting! The only thing I knew about Human Edge was a brief mention if naval warfare between PanO and YJ during the Neocolonial Wars

I never got why that was a PanO picture when it would work so much better for Aridania.

Ariadna doesn't even control the whole of their planet, and even has trouble even keeping hold of what they do have from the natives.

So whatever happened to all the RPG leaks?

These are the most current stuff finished for the Infinity RPG

sendspace.com/file/abzdr9

Several Haqq bases as well.

Many thanks kind user!

Guys, I'm worried.

Seeing as how Yu-Jing has Nepal in it's control, does that mean they'd have access to Ghurkhas?

I think that if they do show up it would be in the white banner army. Which aside from potientially the hac tao and shoalin monks, those are really the only units we know will be in it.

Hell Yu Jing also has mongolia, so they have basically the white scars from 40k

Gurkhas never actually worked for Nepal, they were ethnic Nepalis who fucked off to fight for Britain and India. If anybody got Gurkhas it would either be PanO or the most British faction of all; Morats

That is true that PanO did get India, maybe that water world army might have them

I've ordered Red Veil to compliment my Haqq force but I find it a huge waste to not get started with Yu Ying aswell. So I ordered the Invincible with the HMG and what I'm aiming for is an invincible army composition but I have no idea what else to get to compliment the new starter and the HMG Imvincible. Any tips?

>PanO
>smoke
It's funny because you actually think that's going to happen.

Remotes. Any and all of them. Are you planning on some vanilla too, or just IA?

What are your guys wish lists for your factions?

For me it is probably the PanO Svalarheima techno vikings. I really want to see a skirmisher wieling battle axes in the PanO army list.

Might play vanilla but I'm already into PanO and Haqq vanilla so I want a narrower unit selection and access to link teams. Currently aiming for Rama Task Force but we will see.

REMs seem like a good idea in general. YY have good looking remotes to boot. Overall I'm not interested in any of the old sculpts which narrows down my choices somewhat except for REMs.

Funnily enough, the Celestial guard in the RPG have power armor, even though they are a light infantry in the war game.

A lot of IA stuff isn't sculpted yet (no Zuyong box, no Shang Ji at all) so you may have to wait for some purchases. Yan Huo are out though, and they're pretty badass. Hac Tao may or may not end up in IA, but even if they don't you can just proxy one as a Daofei. More Tiggers is always an option as well.

I like Tigers. Coming from the Akals of Pano they are superior in every way.
Yan Huo seem cool but currently I'll hold off on them. The Guijia is cool as hell but I wonder how cost effective it is...
It comes with a Multi HMG and a HFT right?

One of the posts on the forum kind of showed where each unit ends up on the army list. Look at the Emblems. Hac Tao have a white banner on the bottem so will end up in the white banner army.

The IA stuff will most likely be the units with the yellow star at the bottom of their unit emblem. You can look through all of them in the army maker and get theories.

>see glaring errors
>well maybe it will not appear too often until the fixed version is on my blog
>next thread OP
Damn.
Here's a slightly fixed version.

Considering Morat interpret "diplomacy" as "recon strike behind enemy lines", kind of.

You don't even have to change much.

What is your blog?

Soon, whatever second tier faction -fag you are.

The hyperpower always prevails

There were Svalarheima yeti hunters mentioned in the fluff, I wonder what kind of unit that would be. But I don't really know what to expect from either Svalareima or Varuna.

Tunguska on the other hand seems to have a lot of clandestine untis. Might be fun to use an all sneaky special forces sectoral.

smaggthesmug.tumblr.com
It's NSFW.

Thanks senpai

Pretty much. It also keeps Willie scottish.

For me its superior Varunan infiltrating counter-terrorist commandos, with smoke and stun grenades.

Yup, it's your standard MULTI HMG+HFT battle TAG. The Guijia isn't that great. It has a place in the army since the only other MULTI HMG in the YJ is 4-2, but it's mostly just adequate. One of the less interesting options despite its badass model.

The Hac Tao is definitely going to end up in White Banner, but either it or the Daofei is also likely to appear in IA (probably at AVA1) so that the sectorial has a sneaky option.

There are trolls on Svalarheima apparently, or basically those yeti's as you said

Saw a comic posted here a few threads ago with the Nomads Bandit being new and stealing people's wallets. Can someone point me in the direction of those comics?

This guy. He is around a lot.

But smoke is just so low-tech and barbaric. It's completely unworthy of being used by a glorious hyperpower like PanO. PanO forces will only settle for the best, like the more advanced and therefore obviously superior eclipse grenades.

Their smoke grenades actually are not smoke, but tiny nano bots that drift around blocking the view of the opposing side

I do kind of want to see the ISA get a paramedic/doctor choice that is not Aleph. Maybe like a master torturer unit or something.

Also would not mind seeing them have access to a TAG, but honestly they dont need one

>smoke and stun nades incoming
Source?

Fresh from the twatters.

Something like this?

Tū Jiù Imperial Agent

Bioimmunity, Hedgehog Weapon

Tū Jiù (Paramedic), Viral CCW, Viral Pistol, Biometric Visor, Medikit 25/0
Tū Jiù (Doctor), Viral CCW, Viral Pistol, Biometric Visor 28/0
Tū Jiù (Doctor), Viral CCW, Viral Pistol, K1 Contender, X-Visor 30/1

Well it sure is a coat of some sort.

Sounds nice! I've always wanted a tag! And the Magh is to exnsive in real money and to shit for me to bother getting it.
So just the REMs and a Tiger atm.
Guess I'll hold out and paint it all before I make other purchases then!
With the Invincible HMG I'e got a decemt 200-250 pt list to use.

Yea that seems pretty interesting to be honest. Maybe boost the arm to 2 and make it a MI since the only MI the ISA actually gets is Sun Tzu 2

Viral weapons honestly wouldn't suit the fluff that much. Viral ammo kills people, and dead guys tend to be hard to interrogate. You'd want stun, adhesive and possibly E/M to recover your targets alive and intact. It's also pretty expensive for a unit that doesn't have any decent weapons.

Also I think hedgehog weapon might be defunct now, since it wasn't in HSN3 and the only unit that used to have it got electric pulse instead.

A good point.

Possibly give a Stun/EM LGL as a high tech asshole version of hot glue spam from Ariadna?

I would actually keep the viral CCW potientially, representing them stabbing a dude full of drugs that may or may not kill them. Or maybe a stun CCW

I tried to modify these guys a bit, but I think things may have spiraled out of control. They don't really resemble the original unit anymore

I think dropping a lot of these options would be one of the better options. the HMG and sniper rifle should be dropped, the ISA has options for the HMG and a sniper platform as well.

Yeah, trimming the fat seems like a good idea, they're a bit too similar to Zhanying. Maybe another skill to make them better as solo operatives could work. Mechanized/airborne deployment, maybe?

Drop Forward Observer as well, ISA already has 4 options for forward observers. I would also probably drop the grenade launcher since others can pick it up.

Original idea guy here, I was trying to go for a Dactyl style unit rather than a combat beast. Deeply unpleasant weapons but not really an active turn threat (hence the name Vulture), just something to deter people from picking on the specialist.

Also I think Contenders are cool as hell.

I do think a stun/EM LGL is a good choice, it fits thematically - a HI trooper locked in place as the questions begin.

Visually I imagined the unit to look like some mix of the Kanren and old Celestial Guard.

The source is his arse.
CB have said nothing about giving PanO smoke.
It's just the 'Hyper-Power' complaining again.

Makes sense. Pistols tend not to deter anyone, even if they're viral pistols. Anyone with a half-decent weapon can outrange and murder them.

Stuff that disables but doesn't kill like stun grenades, E/Mitters, ADHLs and maybe madtraps could cement them in their support role. They're low burst and not great for attacking, but they're great defensively.

Just trying out some ideas. A doc that can defend itself and provide backline defence or supporting fire if need be seems pretty neat. Not as killy or tough as a Hospitaller or Healer, but still capable.

PanO players just have to accept that their role is not using tricks like smoke + MSV combo or Camo spam, it's supposed to stop everyone else from doing it.
Like, nice Intruder and Jaguars, Nomads, how about I shut it down with a 24 pts bumfucker with a Spitfire or a guy with BS 15 and actual armour on his back.

Why are you telling me?
I'm not one of the whiny Pano fucks who incessantly complains that they can't get smoke.

Doctor as standard would and is nice, wont lie. The profile as presented now is pretty nice. A solid look for a doctor.

This does not also take away the use of Sophie because she can repair the remotes that ISA can bring since they lack a TAG.

Now if only CB would use something like this now that I see it. Be nice to have in an offical game

PanO has a ton of options already to do stuff. Every faction is going to have area's they lack in, PanO is not one for smoke.

Honestly what I want is a warband, hopefully Techno vikings will have them

>PanO warband
Krakot Renegade and Magister Knights is probably as good as it gets for PanO.
I'm expecting more camouflage and very heavy weaponry from Svalarheima. It was a rather overt warzone after all.

Camo is White Banner's specialty. PanO Svalarheima seems to be largely based around overwhelming firepower and brute force from what we've seen so far.

I like this. Are any of the Infinity drawbros about? It would be great to see a drawing of how people imagine this unit to look.

Well this is from the PDF on Svalarheima

>>Nordic Warriors
>>Svalarheima is home to an ultranationalist PanOceanic faction known as the
Nordic Warriors of Heimdall. They see the icy world as the perfect training
grounds for their radical ideology and have established training camps in the
wastes of Trollhättan where they teach their radical ideology of racial superiority.

>>Nykåfjord Outpost
>>This PanOceanian outpost can lend emergency assistance to those stuck in the
wastes as well as defence for any PanOceania outpost that may come under
attack. The soldiers stationed at Nykåfjord refer to themselves as the Troll
Hunters, and several paint their armour and weapons to resemble the creatures.
A soldier is not considered a full member of the regiment until he kills his first
troll.

So we probably have access to these two units. Maybe a basic infantry equivilant with the troll hunters, but I kind of want a HI version of them.

Of the units already present though, we know Jotum, Nisses, and probably Hospitallar (since their HQ is here)

Oh also this line from it, probably the name of the army

Military bases were
sunk under the ice, with long, cobweb-like tunnels allowing the Svalarheima
Winter Force to pop up seemingly out of thin, icy air.

Aside from the one artist who did the image in the op, how many do we actually have? Seems the infinity community in Veeky Forums is rather small lately

Smagg, Robot Jones and that new guy.

I know of 3. Smagg (does a lot of doodles like the OP pic and some comic strips), Mothman (drew the pool party) and Robot Jones.

Basic LI will probably be either Fusiliers or something like a "border guard" of the contested region.

I just noticed this while making an army, ISA only has Sun Tze as a character, hopefully the next dire foes will give us one.
Heck the character could even be like this.

I've got something you might be interested in.

It's a good start, but we still need more Chinese characters. I'm hoping Invincible Army gets a power armoured qt

Oh looks to be more along the lines of a generic Yu Jing unit, but. That is good as well, since Yu Jing is lacking in them where pan O has several

I can't find it right now, but Zhuang also had a dossier that listed him as ISS. He's a Celestial Guard

>lately
it's always been small

Pan-O is going to have Nordic neo-nazis?

and Snipers riding Trolls.

Wasn't it confirned that Hac Tao is Imperial Army unit and NOT in White Banner?

Hopefully there will be a techno viking based on based Varg
