Infinity General - Bane of the Antipode Edition

Especially if you consider wormholes discovered after might lead right into EI controlled space. Like in Mass Effect not wanting another Rachni war, human sphere might kneejerk and shutdown all wormhole hunting.

Never underestimate the ability of a powerful empire to fuck everything up for itself. It's possible that the EI will find enlightenment in such a way that leaves half of it behind and cripples the entire Hegemony.

What about the Paradiso-Tohaa Space one behind the Daedalus Blockade?

Actual last thread
Because OP is a scrub who mindlessly copy+pasted

Not really their fault considering they thought that was the only hole.

OP is also the annoyed Kazak that's been responsible for the past three threads since no-one else has been restarting them.

It's not uncommon for one OP to make several generals in a row. I'd make them but I'm stuck on mobile for now so fuck that.

Does PanO or Yu Jing have any plan for when Aleph decides its done pretending to be benevolent?

Also, with the new stuff for pilots coming out, do we know if PanO's only 'pilot' will be the tech-bee?

everything is the tohaa's fault, filthy alien scum.

I've been playing this game for a year, went to gencon, been to lots of other game stores when i'm out of town, yet only ever met 1 other person who plays Tohaa, how could this be?

They probably both have several secret services dedicated to dealing with Aleph. It's very convenient to have around, but nobody is dumb enough to actually trust it. Not even Aleph's own aspects trust it.

O-12 supposedly can unplug ALEPH.
Other than that... There's Nomads literally everywhere. Corregidor's main export is cheap labour.

really? My meta must be weird, half of the regular players all play Tohaa, which is also the reason I don't :/

How come Nomads have best girls?

Sorry, I can't hear you over my perfect readhead waifu.

>humans in charge of deciding best girls

Does anybody have any advice on deploying the Kanren (specifically the Assault Hacker)? Deploy him straight up in holo 2 state way up the board? Or disguise him as something with holo 1 and start him in your deployment zone?

Monkies in assless chaps are surprisingly sexy.

More like the Orellian Unthread edition faggot

Holo2, if you can deploy someone in a fancy way generally you should, and the shell game is great. If you're feeling extra sneaky you can combine the levels and disguise him as a Kanren FO so that unsuspecting hackables might wander into his hacking area.

Huh, I'd never considered using holo 2 to disguise as a different loadout of the same troop. That's a real sneaky beaky idea, I like it.

And as an added bonus it sidesteps a lot of the overcomplicated bullshit associated with combining the levels, since you don't need to pretend that they're not holoechoes.

How is the 300 point tohaa box as far as viability goes, I know its a fantastic deal but how is it as a list straight out of the box?

Pretty good overall. You get some decent killy options, some good specialist options, some Tohaamons for support, a nice defensive unit and the ever-present Makauls. There's a few things that would be better off proxied as other loadouts (namely the Ectros as an HMG and the combi Makaul and Kaeltar as a flamethrower and shotgun respectively), but otherwise it can make for a very solid list.

Around Bolts...

Feel the jolts.

Too bad they're pretty mediocre after HSN3 gave their best shit to other units for cheaper and gave NCA other killy midfield dudes. They could use an update.

You can only downgrade numeric leveled skills, like AD lvl 3 or strategos. CH is not numeric.

They're still kicking ass on every level thought you assbrained, mathammer fag
go actually play the game sometimes

CH absolutely is numeric

I fucked your dad

I do faggot. I don't even hate Bolts, they're still a decent link and turning an important corner of the map into an absolute nightmare with mines and shotguns is as fun as ever. But Locusts and to an extent Friars can perform many Bolt jobs adequately on the cheap, especially drop bear delivery. Giving them haris, the drop bear price drop and maybe some other utility shit would really revitalise the unit.

>girls
knowing Bakunin I wouldn't be so sure

Anyone know of any decent gap fillers for small spaces? Was building my steel phalanx starter and one of the thorakites has a game where his wrist meets the hand on his gun.

I always like milliput for filling jobs. It's a lot easier to work with than green stuff.

So ive been out of the loop for ages, now i hear that the kazaks finally got their own sectorial.
How is it? Whats it composed of?

you heard wrong, they're GETTING their own sectorial, hasn't happened yet and probably wont for awhile. With Corvus Bellies incredibly 'fluid' release schedule and atrocious time management, no one can really say when the sectorial will actually happen (its been known about for fucking years.

milliput or green stuff. I use the first myself, also useful diluted with water and applied with a brush to smooth out uneven or scratched surfaces.

>now i hear that the kazaks finally got their own sectorial.
[autistic russian screeching]

>now i hear that the kazaks finally got their own sectorial.
You heard wrong.

So ive been out of the loop for ages, now i hear that the Invincibles finally got their own sectorial.

>Monkies in assless chaps are surprisingly sexy.
Agreed. Those abs.

Cute girls in bulky power armour

The only good news about Vasily is that if we get him when the Sectorial comes out, hopefully we'll be able to shove him in a Link with a Vet and other Line Kazaks.

If this is mockery, I will stab you. It's two years late, they let a random new group beat us to release despite having needed more new units.

>[autistic russian screeching]
Sorry to take so long. Was sleeping.

At this point, I don't even know if I trust that it'll come in AF instead of a fucking rework for the French. And I doubt that AF will come out before I'm dead.

Huh, so this is the new pasta. I can live with it. Anyways, Invincibles obviously aren't out yet, but they are the HI sectorial. As in, there's actually a pretty good chance the entire army will be nothing but HI models. It probably won't, and instead just be mostly focused around the HI, but still. There's a possibility.

Ariadna players were a mistake.

Fuck off cyкa pindos.

>Yu Ying literally gets the PanOceania sectorial
What is PanO going to have to it's name after invincibles? Being the weaker Morats? The weaker Yu Ying? Do they even have plans to update their rules properly instead of being literally the first edition faction?

>The weaker Yu Ying?
So, no change at all?

Eh, you've got the Rambo Brigade, who are only ever supplemented by a bit of HI. You've got the Novelty Contraptions Army with all of its gimmicks and tech. And then you've got MO which is basically just a shittier version of the JSA with less utility and customization.

Besides, the Invincibles won't be getting a TAG since one of their models is basically a babby-TAG. So at least there's that. I'd also somewhat doubt the massive amount of hilariously high BTS that you usually find in Pan-O. Of the three Invincibles available atm, only the Shang Ji has more than 3 BTS.

So ive been out of the loop for ages, now i hear that the evil Russian hackermans finally got their own sectorial.
How is it? Whats it composed of?

>What is PanO going to have to it's name after invincibles?
Crying babies who think they're underpowered, apparently. I thought this was supposed to be Yu Jing's shtick.

>Invincibles won't be getting a TAG since one of their models is basically a babby-TAG
I don't know why you would think that. I guess Corregidor shouldn't have the Iguana because they already have the Geckos, or ALEPH shouldn't have the Marut because they already have Asuras. Besides calling the Yah Huo a baby TAG is a stretch of imagination, the only TAGesque thing they have are the weapons.

Tempted to start Haqqislam but can't stand islam for their attempts at destroying Europe.

I started it anyway but still haven't painted my refugees from the unpainted shelf.

Unsolicited opinions on Israel.

How hard would think it would be to take the arms from the Shock Marksman Djanbazan and put them on the HMG (or other) Jannissary? Think it'd fit?

Then I'd figure maybe a head swap with a Fiday or Al Djabel and some green stuff to sculpt a hood and cloak, and we can get a decent Hassassin Ayyar Shock Marksman Rifle going.

Vague but threatening statement implying a far greater knowledge of geopolitical situation than quoted poster.

I dare you to show me one instance where the non-exclusive version of a model/unit was the better looking one.

I'll be waiting ...

Generic Tikbalang vs Eduardo
I rest my case

I think the closest is the RVZs. IMO they're both equally good. Certainly not UR; the general release version is garbage.

I guess we'll see with Miranda Ashcroft.

yuan yuan vs red veil yuan yuan .

Crane Agent.

Le Muet.

Voronin

Agree with . It's kind of low on SWC, particularly long range, but that's Tohaa in general tends to lack the long range firepower.

If you aren't picky about proxying, the box, a Gao Rail, and a spec ops give you a ton of variety.

A word of caution though. Assembley is a mixed bag. The design of the guns means there are some thin spots (damn sniper rifle) so be careful with them. Also be sure not to mix the pieces up, as the arms look very similar but are not compatible across different troops. Starter core box was made a while ago so the joints aren't all that secure especially with all those open poses. And finally the Clipsos is not fun to put together. Not the usual thin model problem but the fact a load bearing joint is three sheer pieyes. Pin or take you time with it.

MO is not a weaker form of JSA. Outside the presence of HI with CC and HI goon squads (MO's can pack specialists) they are not very similar at all. JSA does have stronger CC, but MO has a stronger mid board presence and higher BS scores. More multi wound specialists, MSV, and actual AD as well.

Dragon Lady.

All the HVT line to be honest, the RPG limited editions look like absolute shite

I was an idiot and picked "one shipment" on the RPG kickstarter so I wont be getting my minis until 2019+

Fucking modiphius, I almost wish I never put in money for this shit

Penthisilea. The exclusive is just novelty cheesecake

So if ALEPH is omnipresent and literally controls all technology, how is Miyamoto Mushashi still on the run?

Also how cool would it be if ALEPH recreated Oda Nobunaga and he escaped its control then helped the JSA annihilate the Chinese scum and take its rightful place as the new leaders of the Yu Jing? Of course they'd change the name of the faction.

Might happen on the "second stage" game

He's on the run?

So ive been out of the loop for ages, now i hear that frozen chinese squatters finally got their own sectorial.
How is it? Whats it composed of?

According to his description on the store, yeah. He escaped the tournament thing ALEPH made him participate in, and he's been on the run as a sellsword since then. Or something like that, all I know for sure is he escaped ALEPH's control.

Nope, not yet, "soon"

>humans
>cute
Pick one

The Ariadna are not thought

Current Ariadnans /pol/ack meisters should be removed by the fury of 10.000 folded Archilles in steroids.

Otherwise, the "10 order old-school tacticool only" bros are totally ok.

How can one man be so perfect?

>Space Tentacles
>Anywhere cute

Yeah, totally cute for disgusting, scat loving space fatberry otakus

Mfw I finally finish assembling the HMG Djanbazan

That long?

Mine's only take 23 minutes

Tentacles? where?

It was, but after HSN3 the Yellow River stopped overflowing.
Maybe PanO just attracts noobish players. While personally I am annoyed at having no warbands or high WIP specialists, I accept that this is the way my army plays. Otherwise it would be like complaining that Imperial Guard is not subtle enough.
Also having a light Mimetism TAG with mines is pretty fun.

If anything MO is a more durable version of JSA.

Sectorials are for uncreative plebs that need link team crutches anyway.

I have a rather limited budget right now, but infinity seems like a nice skirmish game. Plus the models look nice. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to buy first. I was thinking about two factions either pan ocenia or aleph.From people told me the aleph starer box sucks. So it has to be panocenia. right now I have around 65$ to spend, but there are like 3 or 4 starer sets, and I do not know if they are worth it. no one localy can help me much with the choice as we have zero people playing panocenia.

First, you should decide whether you want to start out with a sectorial army, or if you want to stick with vanilla PanO. Sectorials only have access to a small subset of the faction's units, but they make up for limited availability by gaining access to link teams. Some of PanO's sectorials also allow you to take some ALEPH units as well, which could be a draw for you.

I'll put in my two cents; I recommend choosing a sectorial, honestly. They still have most things the rest of the faction does, but they get fire teams which can be fucking amazing. My favorites are Japanese Sectorial Army and Morat Aggression Forces, but Military Orders looks promising and apparently Steel Phallus as close to OP as you can get next to Tohaa.

The only rightful place for Japs is under a boot.
