Oh alright its not like Dr.Fire Axe or the other cheeki breekis needed a spotlight

1. NCA(with bolts!)
2. Jsa
3. Vanilla nomads

>NCA Bolts
Was that Plebian again? Man I wish I weren't sick today and went.

You can still split your burst against different link team members in ARO if you have the Burst right?

>it's also a spunky teenager hacker
wouldn't be manga if it didn't disappoint you in some way

Have there been any haqqislamites mentioned for the comic? Seems there's a rep for every faction but them.

No split burst in ARO I thought. You shoot one mofo only

They only generate one ARO so you don't get the 2 separate sets of FtF rolls but that that apply to say a Total Reaction Bot?

>Mangas YJ person is a filthy Jap
Those goddamn weeaboo Paraguayans.

So Infinity gen how viable would a all motocycle and jump pack list be? Also Would it be fun to play?

It wouldn't be particularly viable, especially not with the inversatile Kum. Mostly bike lists can work, my local JSA player has done some of those. It's not a good idea to ever take more than 3 drop troops.

You'll get fucked in ITS but I know an Aussie that runs all Kum Bikers in a list for fun

infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/24524-kum-biker-army/?page=1
Don't have the list but I think you can message him

What the fuck would the 112 I love him but I'm pretty sure Ariadna medical procedures are a few centuries behind

>all bikers
Will be bumfucked if you're Kum or Yanks, Aragatos on the other hand.....

>all jumpers
No, bad idea
The thing of this guys is that they provide upfront support/enemy campsweeper/uphander for the other units. Also they supposed to drop in later, so you'll be either fucked in your orders pool or in skill being wasted.

Ah that's too bad since i liked the way the bikers looked. As for the jump troops is it worth it to take the hacker variation or should i just go vanilla/spitfire

Depends on what do you plan on doing with them.
Both Hacker and Spitfire or Shotgun variants are good, you could even drop both with a coordinated order. They will just do different things.
I usually go with a Shotgun: cheap, disposable, yet devastating; but then I play Nomads and for Objective grabbing I have Tomcats.

Anyone familiar with MCStudio Hobby? youtu.be/QtBCecHG9fw?t=677

$106 for a full 4x4 board seems extremely legit.

Oh hey, that's pretty neat.

I haven't seen them in person yet, but friends have bought/used/played with the stuff and can rep the company.

I'm not a huge fan of that style of building, though. All MDF/card terrain has those weird protruding corners.

Shotguns for murdering clumps of dudes and dying in a blaze of glory. Spitfire for general rambo activities. Rifles for suppressive fire in inconvenient locations. Hackers can do what rifles do as well as specialist work and assault hacking.

I've been having fun with 10 order lists recently, trying out NCA from my usual QK, and wanted to try a 10 order Haqq list with the new Red Veil goodies. How does something like this look?

Anyone else sick of the forced ALIVE hype train? Sure some people are still on board, I'm starting to not give a fuck anymore tho, all this secrecy thing is just retarded. Hype must be nurtured with small doses of content, but here we are just being starved.
The longer they keep this farce up, the harder the players are gonna be disappointed.

>inb4 CB built a hype train on nothing and are just buying time scrambling for an idea to match the ever-increasing expectations.

Pretty good deal for a full table, but I'm not a fan of the building designs or ladders.

It was somewhat interesting at first but I never really gave a shit to pay that much attention. I'm not a P.I and I dont care enough to put in effort to decifer hidden messages.

It's just not very well done. That said, it's best to expect nothing of stuff like this because that's usually what they end up being, and if they turn out to be great you get to be pleasantly surprised.

>nigras
>in manga

>using wrong OP pic
>in 2000+2x8

...

You realise it's only called a manga so the weebs will pick it up, right? It's written by a Spaniard and illustrated by a different Spaniard.

Does anybody know who the fuck the unnamed guy is? It looks like an alternative design of Knauf, but they wouldn't show that off in a team lineup.

Could have called it a graphic novel and it still would have sold like hot cakes.
But they call it a manga because of the art style, which in Infinity is already very close to what Manga usually looks like, not to sell it to weebs.

>Does anybody know who the fuck the unnamed guy is?
Looks like an alternate design to Knauf. No info on him was given and he's not in the posted pages.
Is Stallion-Jack S6 or S7? I can't tell.

There's quite a few weebs who would never touch a graphic novel, and most anti-weebs who would never touch a manga don't buy Infinity stuff anyway.
The art style is definitely influenced by Japanese work but it's not that close to generic manga. It reminds me of some other old manga-inspired comics, or conversely some western-inspired/more realistic manga.

It's apparently Anaconda-based, so probably S7.

Sup dudes,

Just made this list for gits and shiggles, what are your thoughts?

Second group has 4 units you're going to want to move around and 5 orders to do it with. Bikes are efficient, but they're not that efficient.

>Aragatos on the other hand
I wish. Maximum you can take is 4+Asuka+Yojimbo.

Yeah

>Increase starter box price slightly
>include faction patch
Why isn't this a thing?

SCOTCH,DUCT TAPE, AND MORPHINE ARE VIABLE IN THE FAR FUTURE

I don't think everyone wants a patch.
Myself I'd prefer a sticker to patch. I could put a sticker to an army box or case, but I've nothing to sew the patch onto.
I guess if I was using an army bag then maybe, but I just use a regular travel bag instead.

Hmm, true. I have a love for patches anyway, I have far too many from other fictional places, and nowhere to put them.
Imagine if we got a patch and a sticker in every unit box... Man, that'd be sweet.

I'd rather have a transfer sheet for the logos. Especially for HI. Cross of Jerusalem is easy enough to paint, but Montesa cross or ORC logo? Jeez.
At least now some of the units have their logos engraved, but I'm not sure if that is so great.

I don't think Infinity lends itself well to transfers. Most of the panels where they'd be applied are far too curved to fit them correctly.

Also the engraved logos are best, as they can be filled in easily if you don't want them.

Dunno, at least on PanO HI there's larger, flatter pauldrons. And there's no problem to get transfers on TAGs.

I guess. I've yet to paint any of my minis with engraved logos though.

There are ways to get transfers to behave around curved surfaces, but it's a little more work than just applying the transfers.
Microscale MicroSol and MicroSet are your friends if you're working on oddly shaped surfaces with transfers.

So wait there are two dog warriors in here? So two Ariadna's

Thoughts on this 150 point list? I basically just went for all Kazaks

pretty good

I need more coffee. Too early for this shit

Any advice on starting haqislam vanila ? What are the must have, what is the easiest to use?

Maybe. The hacker being called a dog warrior could be a mistake, it wasn't brought up in her description page.

That's probably a mistake. Here She looks like she's wearing a mix of generic paramilitary clothes with Nomad outfit and the lolita prototype one could only be Bakunin.

DESU REMs, Ghazi, Ghulams and then whatever you feel like from there.

If you like the look and feel of the HI try the new Al Fasid that is coming out with Red Veil.

If you like the strong MI that Haqq has to offer, take a Djanbazan to couple with the Smoke from your Ghazi or a Ragik for some scary AD potential.

The Skirmishers flavored to taste as well. The Minelayer Farzan is becoming a favorite for me, but Hunzaqt is top notch for cheap infiltration and wetwork. The Tuareg is not something to be written off either.

LI is something Haqq does very well, though lately everything has been pretty good for them. With the new HI additions in the form of the redone Al Fasid and the new Ayyar.

If you could get someone to split the cost of Red Veil and you got the Haqq portion that would be a solid start. If you know who Cho is (he splits boxes) you can get him to give you just 2 Ghazi, and a few other odds and ends to keep it on the cheaper side when building your force if you only need certain items from the boxes.

Having said that, I always recommend the REMs. Kameels or the Shihab/Rafiq.

At the end of the day it's what you like the look of and how you want to play. Also, I will not even get into Fidays that dirty girl is an army on her own.

tik paint not finish yet

...

Sadly, it seems to be a mistake.
Though a pregnant operator getting bitten during the colonial conflicts or a faction trying to create its own dog warriors wouldn't be impossible lore-wise.

Has anyone read Santos' other works? My knowledge of spanish comics outside of Blacksad is non-existant.

Near everyone has a Djanbazan HMG. Hafzas are are also important, especially against regular opponents. Otherwise, rule of cool and standard listbuilding applies.

too bad, tranfurmation hacker girl would have been a great idea.

Putting more work into my cheesy macho Gecko.
I'm not that good at freehand, but you gotta practice on something, right?
I tried for a skull + roses pattern on one shoulder, I'm not sure what to put on the other one. Contemplating either Ace of Spades or an 8-Ball. Dunno what to do on the chest either.

I likes how you think comrade

Ill go with the 1st list

I like the "Is he gonna start some shit?" shifty eyes. Ah, Slavic brotherhood :D

You can never split your burst in ARO, not because of link bonus, not because of neurocinetics, not because of total reaction.

Needs some minor fixes, but pretty much done.

>All MDF/card terrain has those weird protruding corners.

No, there's plenty that doesn't. These buildings have it because they are designed to be able to assemble without glue and then pull them apart to flat-pack them. Extending the wall past the corner join is a good way to get stability for that sort of design.

Im sorry but I have to post this

>GeckooftheDamned.png

This looks so incredibly Shadowrun.

Shadowrun is starting to sound like a bad meme around this board.
Isn't that the "cyberpunk" game with elves and shit?

Can someone post the rest of the artboards for the manga from interplanetary/etc?

Yeah, its basically Wakfu but with guns, corps, bots and rock n rolls instead of swords, gods, bows, and rock n rolls.

I like the flames. Good concept

Pretty nice. Get the mould line on the inside of the knee before you go too much further though.

WERE TAKING THIS TAG TO FLAVOR TOWN

You haven't realised infinity has space elves in the tohaa

hmmmmm that may be better I agree, since it does give me the Mul and a hacker. So may be better for missions that require specilists. alright thank you.

I like me some Kazaks, but then again Ariadna is the one faction that I probably will play every sectorial. Can't wait for the Kazak secotrial as well. Can not get here fast enough.

I have never in my life heard those two compared. It's so unexpected I'm not even sure I can say it's inaccurate.

>Can't wait for the Kazak secotrial as well. Can not get here fast enough.

nah, I'm happy to wait, I'm convinced spetsnaz backed up by core links will be very fucking gamebreaking.

FOR THE GLORY OF ARIADNA

youtube.com/watch?v=CCnn7WEQIDI

So first time ever with a wargame ever. Been trying to decide between ALEPH or Tohaa. I like equally both. Is one harder than the other to learn or can I just jump in on either and still have the same learning curve? Or am I better off with starting with a different faction to learn the game better with?

Tohaa focuses on the Fireteam rules (specifically Triad) which early on can cause some headaches as you start. Of course I'm the kind of guy who will put his nose to the grindstone to learn. Though once you remember to move more than one guy in a team and what the benefits are you'll fall in love with fireteams. Also some unique rules and some units that other factions would kill their grandma for.

I'm not all that knowledgeable on ALEPH sadly. Other than Ekdromois keep wrecking my shit.

Both have a number of of special rules that are pretty core for how they play.

Outside of the Ghost Jumper through, ALEPH is the more conventional of the two forces. Be ready to pay for the quality of your troops due to all those higher stats and Dogged/NWI floating around. In the case of the latter you'll have to make sure you make the most of it otherwise it's points wasted. Watch for shock and viral though.

That said, there will be a big jump from either of those factions to another. Tohaa and ALEPH tend to bring noticeably more durable forces than other troops, allowing for more aggressive tactics. It can blind you to alternate tactics that other factions use.

I am ready for my glorious fireteam core of veteran Kazaks. 200 points of goodness.

Not a huge lot of difference from vanilla if the typical core team used is just a bunch of lines anyway.

New to the game, but have surprisingly decent amount of friends interested as well. I've had the old Haqq starter for about 2 years now, along with an extra HMG Ghulam and Light Flamethrower Nafftun? I've yet to play a solid game without much interruption due to lack of rules, but am slowly getting the hang of it. What's hard for me to grasp, coming from other wargames with much more limited unit restrictions, is what is a general progression for growing my faction.

tl;dr, Have old Haqq Starter, what should I buy next?

Sadly, not yet.
You'd think that Nomads and Ariadnans would be much happier to work with a Haqqislamite troop than a PanO or YuJing one.

I have to assume that there will be a Haqq character; simply because it would be very strange for them to be the only human faction that is excluded.

>Not a huge lot of difference from vanilla if the typical core team used is just a bunch of lines anyway.

Seriously, being able to put 3 BS14 B2 ARO snipers on the board that are immune to surprise shot and smoke + MSV for 66 points and 1.5 SWC isn't a big difference?

having that strong reactive piece cheaply while providing 5 orders for fueling a spetsnaz is a huge difference IMO.

New player from other thread asking about Morats. Been tinkering with it and was thinking whether this variation would be better?
GwBgTAPgzCIRYwFICsKCcSCM6AcwkBCXVAFhW3RQHYiSVzKUDCtkHMdrSispUUIStQqt+aIV1FYeaLMJYyB8rizDjQlXLVYU0yLjrBC0tHLn4ABMPLQlzPQjYH28j2aRXootS5aA
Basically the only change here is in the previous version there was a second Intern Worm and a Vanguard Hacker + a Sniffer Drone instead of the Yaogat. I figured I still had enough Orders to get shit done but with the vanguard I'd have a squishy hacker who would drop from a slight breeze. I know ARM3 probably isn't much better but I could find the points for the upgrade so I thought why not.

>Yaogat hacker
Don't do that. Brittle hackers are okay, they shouldn't be in situations where people are shooting them anyway. It's also a huge waste of the Yaogat's MSV2, you'll want a sniper or spitfire on him if you're taking one. For non-assault hackers just take a Vanguard or E-Drone.

>E-Drone
>Exile Upgrade
Holy Jesus what.

>Run repeaters into midfield against fireteams while using E Drones
>Opponent too nervous to push objectives with them

Happened twice now, think they'd develop some tactics.

Would you recommend bringing a second Intern Worm and playing a couple of points down or just bring in a R Drone instead?

2 nursebots can be useful but there's a decent chance it will go to waste, and R-Drones are great for their price. Flash pulse AROs all day ery day.

Cheers Fampai

When it says Senor Massacre can form a Core Team with Jags, do I just take his normal profile? Seeing as it's a core and not Haris?

Either can work but the Haris profiles are more expensive so there's almost no reason to take them.
