Was it a legal link team? what were the models you were using?
Carson Howard
Like, two of the same starter? Boring, I'd imagine.
Also, with what little info you gave we can't tell what you might have done wrong.
Aiden Stewart
And it is viable to start with 2 starter boxes, the imperial service starter and the wu ming box will give you 10 orders and 300 points.
You will have to check the army builder to see if you can have something similar in other armies.
Kayden King
Are those smoke grenades or regular grenades on his pic? Emily has been shown with Smoke grenades and she's supposedly PanO. But yeah, if PanO got reliable smoke, all bets would be off. They already got sort-of-a-warband in Krakot.
Daniel Ward
copy-paste from last thread for visibility Two starters can work just fine, some user swear by the combo of old+new starter box if you want to play Acontecimento. Normally though if you buy 2 starters you're committing to play a vanilla list, so no fireteams.
>someone can explain links to me easier said than done buddy. Open the wiki and get reading, after that if you still have specific doubts you can ask us. Your tournament organizer probably had good reasons to give you a lose, try to understand what you did wrong (most likely you formed fireteams in a vanilla army)
Michael Johnson
Models from the steel phalanx starter set, and blister for machon dactylists.
From what I have seen people use multiple thorekites with chainrifles and it is impossible to get those outside of the starter box. The starter box also comes with only one agama and only two myrmidons.
I sure hope she doesn't get rules, at least not in PanO. The last thing we need is an autoinclude character.
Lincoln Cooper
You didn't try to link thorakitai and Machaon togheter, right? they have 2 different variants of the Enomotarchos rule.
As for second question, it's generally bad value to buy the same box twice because you end up with useless extra models anyway. Your better options are proxying the other models as your preferred loadouts or buy the models singularly through eBay or other box-splitting services.
Christian Jackson
Yeah, Smoke + MSV2 Spec Sergeant would be an obnoxious as fuck and stupidly cheap combo. And then there's the more elite MSV2 troops like Black Friar, Nisse or Aquila. And then there's the regular use of Smoke as cover for getting in position.
Lincoln Brown
You would only be able to link eudoros and (or/ with) machaon and other myrmidons. Forming a link team with thorakites with the models you own would be impossible, unless you have nesaie / thrasymedes / hector to link them with.
And you don't need to own 3 actual thorakites with chain rifle in order to use them, that would be an expensive joke. As long as you can show your opponent that those are thorakites with chain rifles on your courtesy list it's fine.
Christopher Sanders
>some user swear by the combo of old+new starter box if you want to play Acontecimento It's me and I stand by it. If I had the money and will to add Acontecimento to my armies, I'd definitely get both the old and the new starters. I was already considering because I like Tikbalang so much, but thankfully I don't have the money.
Ethan Parker
But the old Montesa looks awful next to the new one, not to mention the ugly old Akal.
Logan Hall
Picked up the Red Veil Box today and I I'm planning to go Haqqislam. The Al Fasid is super sexy. Any suggestions of standout models I should pick up next?
Easton Cook
Hunzakut Al Hawwa Fiday Saladin Hafza
Grayson Reed
Thanks. I'll take a look.
Sebastian Thomas
Hunzakut LGL ( a sexy model and it's use her as the FO for an infiltrating camo specialist). Al Hawwa Hacker.
Saladin's also a stand out model because the Red Veil Haqqislam doesn't really have that many good Lt's. Khawarij is too aggressive without the durability to match. You wouldn't want to make the Zhayedan Lt because of his Vet skill. Ghulam Lt's are too boring.
Tyler Kelly
Just give her Eclipse smoke.
Jaxon Carter
The other Al Fasid because it also looks fucking awesome. From a practical standpoint, for specialists the Hawwa hacker & Janissary doctor are excellent in both vanilla and Qapu Khalqi.
Elijah Fisher
I walked through a door to a new dimension. And you can too, if you do enough Grade-5. You can go anywhere. You can do anything. Just give in.
Aaron Brooks
Common side effects of Grade-5 administration include constipation, sedation, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, physical dependence, tolerance, respiratory depression, and violent tendencies.
Contact your doctor to see if Grade-5 is right for you.
David Cruz
Humo is smoke if I recall correctly, so it looks like she has smoke grenades.
Christian James
I had machon the hacker and the eudoros in one. two snipers and 2 separate thorakites. the org told me that hackers can not be in links. I didn't even get a participation prize everyone else got. Am kind of a pissed about it, because it ment I paid for the trip and entry, and then had to wait for 5 hours till everyone finishs their games. And when everyone else got a blister and the end, I got nothing, but the store owner told me that I can buy a second starter set cheaper.
Caleb Jones
I am so sorry, your organizer is retarted. you used a totally legal link.
Parker Watson
That's bullshit, dude. The cunt that disqualified you shouldn't ever be allowed in that position again.
Levi Brown
That's not the dumbest shit I've ever heard, but it's up there. Hackers have never been disallowed from links at any point, you were completely in the right. The organiser needs to read the rules.
Cooper Gonzalez

Samuel Price

Kayden Cruz
What an asshole Was this in poland? Were there any suspiciously placed lamp posts?
Joshua Jones
Nah, the really fucked metas tend to be in Poland but idiotic tourney organisers are everywhere.
Josiah Adams
You're due a public apology. Hackers used to break out of the link if they did full-order supportware, but with HSN3 I'm not sure if that's still the case. However, they were never disallowed from links unless specifically written in the army list/builder (e.g. Order Sergeant hackers are Specialist Sergeants that cannot link)
Julian Martinez
Full-order skills can be dine within links now
And he is absolutely owed an apology, plus the blister and a consolation prize for being cheated out of a chance at winning
Gavin White
>I had machon the hacker and the eudoros in one. two snipers and 2 separate thorakites Can you post a list? What was linked with what? Thorakitai need a Thorakitai character (Chandra/Nesaie-Alke/Thrasymedes) to link, and Machaon/Eudoros can only link with Myrmidons, not Thorakitai.
Lucas Jones
I wouldn't say the old Sikh is ugly -- I honestly quite like it -- but I would say that the designs are hilariously different to the point that they'd look a bit awkward together. At least the new box of Bagh Mari don't look too drastically different from the old sculpts, but Sikhs got basically a full redesign with those new jetpacks.
Also, maybe I'm just a filthy Bagh Mari fanboi, but I'd recommend the Regular blister to get 5 homeboys and then a fancy toy -- remotes, Guarda, or Tikbalang -- or getting the new Bagh Mari box. Since I bought into the faction a month or so before that or the new starter came out, I ended up just getting each of the old blisters and calling it a day.
Joshua Gutierrez
I'm sorry but the TO was correct (if a bit harsh) none of the steel phalanx hackers are linkable
Caleb Morales
Myrmidon assault hacker
Adrian Smith
Myrmidons can be hackers bud
Gavin Phillips
Ah my bad
Brayden Torres
>characters from Ariadna are dogface and hacker girl >not tomboyish introverted scout waifu What were they thinking?
Robert Reed
Because they already have one antisocial sniper, they don't need two.
Noah Brooks
What, you mean your first thought of a character from Ariadna isn't a hacker? I mean, no-one has a better hacking specialist than USAriadna.
Albeit more literal hacking.
Charles Morris
>weapon: doctor Wasn't that the Trauma-Doc's specialty?
Isaiah Myers
I'm pretty sure the hacker girl is Nomad.
Kevin Moore
Infinity grills are cute. Cute!!
Luis Harris
Drop bears and that CSU gun bag are PanO weapons, no? Although, IIRC, she's based on some Vietnamese girl who left an impression on the artist so IDFKA.
Jeremiah Myers
Only when dealing with allies. The 112 takes an aggressive stance on amputations.
Cameron Moore

Luke Jenkins

Ayden Miller
>Drop bears and that CSU gun bag are PanO weapons, no?
Firstly the bag is obviously full of hacking shit. The Spanish next to it says bandolera somethingsomething hacker. There's even a joke with a winky face about wi-fi and it's projecting hacker holograms. So it's not a gun.
On the Drop Bears- Kaplan have Aleph combis & Pan-O Multi snipers; Druze have combis from Yu-Jing, Pan-O & Aleph, and Yu-Jing Spitfires. Armand has a Pan-O Multi sniper. Crazy Koalas are a Yu-Jing invention used primarily by the Nomads. Mercs can get their hands on gear from pretty much anywhere it seems, so I don't think the Drop-Bears are really a sign of anything.
Joshua Evans
What's wrong with her face?
Robert Sanders
...
Evan Taylor
Jesus fuck, that's an unflattering shading, I thought red skin shading died out with gen1 minis.
Brandon Campbell
She's wearing a nomad comlog and has a nomad pistol, the bag is a hacking device not a gun
Jayden Howard
She stepped in Antipode poo
Owen Ross
The model ain't bad but does she actually have some uses? Mono CCW but low CC and no way to reliably close distance, only CC skill is i-khol but that does nothing to increase kill chance and loses badly versus actually CC competent foes. Irregular. Squishy.
Yeah she has ODD and she's hard to dislosge once in suppression, but for 19 pts there are better optimized units (especially considering Sforza is only 6 points more but ridiculously superior)
Brayden Gonzalez
To me it looks like someone just rolled random equipment on a bounty hunter and decided to make it a character.
Julian Butler
The shading on the face is way too strong. The model would be alright with a slightly different paintjob. Her background is hilarious, though.
Jace Turner
I liked the old model better.
Hudson Davis
She's all over the place really. Mono CCW with only CC18, and no MA. IKohl L1 only works on troopers with Wound values. So she's only a bit above average against non-STR non-CC focused targets in CC. So let's shoot them instead: ODD is great as always, but she's only got either a Combi Rifle or BSG with an average BS12.
Stealth is great for sneaking around. But I'd rather spend less for the generic ABH and gamble on the Booty roll, or pay a little extra for Sforza (if ISS) than take Miranda.
Grayson Reyes
I legitimately thought that was the point. It's basically just a Super Duper version of the Authorized Bounty Hunter that's rolled multiple times on the Booty chart instead of the single roll that a normal one gets.
So she's someone who's picked up some Yar Har Booty over her career. >L1 17: Monofil CC Weapon >L2 5: Nanopulser >L2 19: ODD In addition, she's managed to trick the system into getting the joyously useless I-khol and a +4 CC buff that still fails to make her worthy engaging much of anything, unless you're using her as I generally use my 20ish pt CC specialists: meat torpedoes.
Angel Brooks
Okay, so I have a question regarding Leveled abilities.
I know that shit like Marksmanship, AD, Martial Arts and its clones and the like give you the access to all of the abilities under your own level -- So Marksmanship L2 still gives you Shock hits, and your Combat Jump guys can Airborn Infil instead -- but is this for every single numerically leveled ability?
Primarily, I'm talking about shit like Veteran and Sixth Sense.
Jonathan Morris
Yes. As long as it doesn't have a letter in it it's fine.
Julian Stewart
Yes, SSL2 gets L1. Same with Veteran. But while Kinematika L2 gives you L1, the effects do not stack.
Leo Morgan
Gotcha, thanks.
Aaron Hill
It is Poland, but sorry I do not understand the lamp post thing. There was one in front of the store I think. I had this Machon as my Lt Eudoros with mk12 Myrmidon Hacker those formed a link. An agama with a mk12 1 FO thorkiates 1 combi rifle thorikates 1 LGL thorikates my second "sniper".
Jackson Reyes
>lamp post did the tables have small sniper nests where you couldn't reach the sniper inside? Also were you playing against a chechen and his sister?
Leo Ward
Ah and the format was starter box+two blisters or one support box/one TAG. I even got smirked by the org for supposadly bringing achiles and patrokles to the event. When I do not even own those models.
Christian Bennett
Oh, I'm not the guy you're responding to but I remember that story and thread. Hilarious and horrifying.
0_o. I never seen a girl playing in our FLGS. Some sisters/girlfriends/moms, but non of them ever played. The buildings were tall, near the deployment zone and smaller in the middle. In fact middle had a ton of cover, but non of it was very tall. There were a few death corridors, but they weren't dominated the whole table. I don't remember any chechen snipers or their sisters nesting anywhere. If those are in dire foes, dire foes were excluded from the event as was Combined Army.
David Fisher
Ok I tell him that when we play, the next part of the event. I hope he at least gives me my cash back.
Ian Young
>as was Combined Army Wait ... an entire faction was banned from play?
Dylan Rivera
which city are you from? don't tell me that it was Białystok or did you play against the infamous cheater in warsaw?
Liam Martin
Apparently there's an extremely shitty meta in Białystok, the telltale sign is random newbies complaining about store tables which have lampposts/guard towers (aka sniper heaven) modeled into the table.
And your Myrm link is legit. The Thorakitai weren't liked though, right?
Grayson Wood
>as was Combined Army TO retardation confirmed.
Easton Nelson
Tell the TO that the internet thinks he's fucking stupid and he doesn't know shit about the game he's supposed to be managing tourneys for.
Jonathan Martin
Indeed they are.
Chase Perry
IIRC the text near the Drop Bear is a note to the artist that Uhahu's equipment should be this cute.
Hudson Peterson
Thorekitai were not linked. I do not have alke or thrasymedes was baned because of dire foes.
yes. the org said they are a stupid factions, and that corvus belli is planing to remove them from the game anyway, so people shouldn't invest in to them.
I do not play in Bialystok, but it is not very far from me. I am from Elk. It is a bit like new jersy and new yoruk. And we generaly do not like each other. I do not know, I know he has a PhD in art history, and knows a lot about weapons. He runs HEMA classes, he went to junior events till my brother broke his arm two years ago. He also runs a nice club for table top gaming. But he just sometimes pick on people from understandable reasons. He also has a firm that makes recasts of models and sells them much cheaper then the originals. So people like him a lot in general.
Robert Robinson
is he recasting infinity too? If yes what are the prices?
Charles Reyes
>yes. the org said they are a stupid factions, and that corvus belli is planing to remove them from the game anyway, so people shouldn't invest in to them. The org is a retard, as repeated multiple timed. CA isn't going anywhere. Considering the next expansion working title is "Acheron Falls", which refers to the Acheron Blockade currently blocking CA from getting reinforcements... A lot of stuff will die before CA is removed from the game.
Ethan Ortiz
I have no response to this post except for this gif.
Liam Reed
>Ełk For non-Polish people: not a meme town like Białystok (there were several Infinity horror stories from the place after all), but recently entered public consciousness after a kebab bar cook fatally stabbed a Polish thief there.
Both are very small towns.
Leo Rivera
>waaah CA models are too hard for me to recast so I'll call them stupid and ban them Mystery solved :^)
As for semi-related qualifications, an asshole is an asshole. He could be the best historian and martial artist and still know shit about organizing an event or cat-herding a community.
Lincoln Green
>I am from Elk. It is a bit like new jersy and new yoruk Suddenly it all makes sense.
Angel Smith
Sometimes I think half of the people here are polish.
Anthony Morgan
>the big bad of the setting will be removed
Wyatt Stewart
Poland is where the shit metas live.
Lucas Miller
Makes me wonder, which Polish meta is the least shit? Warsaw is kurwaspam central and had that whole Xaos story. Białystok is being Białystok. Lublin is very small and the one time I went to a tournament there, the TO was a no-show and there were problems with terrain. Maybe Wrocław? From what I've heard in Wrocław the only NCA player runs a Bolt link, rather than Auxilia spam.
As for Xaos, he is still persona non grata in the larger community, but organizes his own private ITS tournaments just to farm points. Makes me wish each ITS would require a WarCor to confirm.
Andrew Hughes
Not that user, but I found some (supposedly good) recasters and few people cast Infinity, because it's not that cheap, fine detail can suffer, there's resin shit to clean, and if you bring recast minis to an event there's a good chance you'll be told to gtfo until you bring real stuff. So most Infinity casting going on is conversion bits, rare parts, etc.
Ryder Morris
Oh, shit, that's the place that Based Poles very literally REMOVED KEBAB? Fuck yeah.
Kayden Jackson
Wroclaw is powergamer central, also the firs Infinity WAACer I met was from there. Maybe Chelmza? Small town but extremely active (hosted national championships once or twice), and all the Chelmzan player I met were cool dudes.
Elijah Morris
only w40k from what I know. But he is a tricky bastards, who knows what his collection is made of, as he has tool box after tool box of infinity stuff. Elk is not a small town. It may not be huge, but it is not small.
there are no black people in my city. Now Bialystok, it is full of refugees that were fleeing the Russian Chechen war. Plus we are good white catholic people, and Bialystok is ortodox abombination.
Christopher Anderson
And holos. My friend bought 3 saladins in resin for example. Maybe Stettin? they are close to germany, mentaly they are almost like eastern germans.
Camden Adams
>yes. the org said they are a stupid factions, and that corvus belli is planing to remove them from the game anyway, so people shouldn't invest in to them. Sounds like this guy needs to be removed instead. Fucking polish meme game stores, goddamn
Jeremiah Edwards
Not been to a tournament in Stettin but been on tournaments in warsaw and wroclaw. Both were very pleasant experiences. Nothing above 2 combat groups so I don't know where you get that. And both warcors are nice guys. Also I am not from Poland.
Nolan Ramirez
>Nothing above 2 combat groups so I don't know where you get that. Well, I live in Warsaw and spam is common, or at least was. Quite a few people embraced Limited Insertion because they were so tired of 30 orders Hungries lists.
Josiah Ortiz
then the tourney I went to must have been an exception. As I said nothing above 2 combat groups even from the ISS player.
