Doc and engi should not be in second group, they take too many orders to be useful. Support unit like hacker or defensive unit like Raiden or Husong should be second group.
Jace Ross
You've got not much to lock down camo, smoke, or ODD. A lucky smoke tossing warband can cause a lot of hurt. To say nothing about the Steel Phalanx squad or Tohaa assault. A Cutter, Sphinx, or Avatar will certainly be a rude awakening if you can't get Shinobu to them first.
Yu Jing has access to the cheapest MSV2 in the game in the Rui Shi, which is a fast BS12 Spitfire for 20 points 1 SWC. Put on Supportware Marksmanship on it and it effectively becomes a BS15 MSV2 monster that can shoot through smoke. There is also the Bao who take a little bit more finesse to utilize. And of course there is the BS14 Hsien who is expensive, but packs armor, a second wound, direct template,
Other ways around those modifiers are templates, deployables, and sensor if you have the orders. A dude with a chain rifle, nanopulser, or flamethrower can force ugly trades or smoke a whole bunch of troops. This is part of what makes Shaolin and Kuang Shi so good. Mines a great way to slow an advance since they don't care if your target is in camo or not. Your minelayers help a bit in this regard.. Sensor is order intensive, but reveals camo like no other and allows you to shoot things you otherwise wouldn't.
Also, you should never leave 3 or more points out. The Warcor is a free order to discover with as well as an ARO your opponent generally doesn't want to take a risk getting hit by. Yu Jing is also bless with the dreaded 5 point Kuang Shi as well as a 5 point Shaolin.
There is no reason with all those keisotsu shouldn't take the FO upgrade unless you've got points to better spend elsewhere. You may never forward observe with them, but it gets them a Flash Pulse which is an amazingly useful ARO weapon.
This particular list feels a bit more cohesive, but I'm uncomfortable with how the firepower is on the squishies. Guard your Husong well.
Jeremiah Peterson
(Cont) Here's how I would modify your previous list. Yu Jing ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
I'll take the Guilang Hacker over the Ninja hacker almost any day with it's increased versatility and cheaper price. Change to an FO if you want a doctor. The Daofei will have to take some risks if she wants to deploy on your opponent's half of the board, but she starts on your opponent's side of the board for free and is way tougher than the Tiger.
The Kuang Shi provide murderous close range defense as well as a nice picket line. They are also very dangerous missiles you can barrel toward your opponent. They will probably die, but hopefully it's after Shinobou does her dirty work. Swapping one Kuang Shi for a smoke tossing Shaolin may be worth it.
Hunter Reyes
Man that's terrific, thank you so much! I can't believe I missed the Rui Shi. Even though I'm inexperienced, I've seen what my other Remote has done (The one with Total Reaction HMG) and I can tell by looking at this one it looks terrific for 20 points.
Kuang Shi eh--I'll take your advice but man I hate those models.
I did order a DaoFei today. He looks pretty sweet infiltrating although I was giving him a HMG.
So the Kuan Shi, if I understand Template weapons correctly. Since their BS sucks and they are 5 points, idea is with Chain Rifles they just walk up and spray, auto hit, probably dying to the ARO but since they're 5 points..you're trading up anyways right?
And how picky in official tournaments are people with the Remotes? I know I have one of those two pair but the one I think I have is the Flamethrower/gun Remote, not the one with two guns (spitfire one?)
Grayson Perry
Eh, I'm not too fond of those models either, but I'm not sure how I would feel if I liked the aesthetics of a brainwashed penal suicide troop. Anyways, yes, that's what direct templates are for. Something under the template is automatically hit unless they choose to dodge. Kuang Shi are extra effective since they have the option of explode or dogged when they go unconscious (remember shock and viral stops this though). If they are within range of the circular template, feel free to explode unless that is overkill. Otherwise choose dogged so you can get a couple more uses of that chain rifle. Dogged templates are evil.
That said they do not have bad BS. It's average, but I've killed my fair share of dudes with that damn pistol. Bad BS is what the Shaolin have.
I've found the Spitfire is right up in those ranges where the Daofei tend to end up. An HMG is a little bit too awkward up close for my tastes but that's a preference thing. There isn't a specifically spitfire model yet so most people won't bat an eye if you use the HMG model as a stand in for either.
By the strict letter of the law, no you cannot use your Lu Duan as a Rui Shi. That said, most people I've run into don't mind as long as you make it clear what that model is, it has the correct silhouette, and is a mostly CB mod. Personally, I found the Rui Shi a pain in the ass to assemble because of the small contact points on the winglets. Turned the fins vertical and pinned the guns directly to the body.
Charles Fisher
The Kuang Shi pistol is the most deadly weapon in the game.

So in the spirit of Valentines Day, what pairs do we have in Infinity? There's Lupe and Thrasymedes, Angus and Bipandra (although it's not certain if Angus is aware of Bipandra's feelings). Bran Do Castro and Zoe are often described to be together in the same action. Possibly Miranda Ashcroft and Max Scorpio. Is there anyone else? Is there anyone you ship?

Wait, I don't get it, what do I have to do for the 32 mm O-Yoroi pilot I actually want for the game?
Jose Hall
So this is like CB version of forge world stuff ?
Jayden Foster
They haven't got around to updating the stretch goals section, but I'd imagine it'd be an add-on, so you'd have to pledge at at least the one bust level ($40).
Ryder Collins
I think, except none of it is for actually playing (I'm pretty sure there will be a non-limited edition of O-Yoroi pilot too).
William Brown
> the 32 mm O-Yoroi pilot on the KS page they say it's 35mm, scale creep is going out of hand indeed. With this pace in 5 years the 75m pilot will be a legally playable piece.
Anyway good for them for reaching the fund goal, but I wonder how many of these backers just wanted the O-Y Kiddobooty pilot.
Blake Wilson
The 'only one O-Yoroi' level has fewer backers than the 'only one bust' level, so if people are backing just to get the wargame piece they can't be bothered forking out the extra $5 to get the 75 mm version as well.
Luke Myers
Pay more.
Austin Howard

Anthony Thomas
I feel for the poor bastards who actually play the O-Yoroi, now they can either dish out a TAG's worth of cash for a non-gaming piece (+shipping, + 11 bucks for the pilot herself) or wait for the general release model of unknown quality that will eventually come out - or not, just ask a certain Maid of Orleans.
This is the kind of situation that is bound to let a shitty aftertaste in your mouth no matter what you choose.

Brandon Sanchez
Not if you want to play ITS.
Julian King
in ITS if a model didn't get a regular release you can proxy it with any other CB mini.
Tyler Barnes
True, but pilots are equivalent to tinbots in their superfluousness. You don't need them even if there is a model.
Grayson Perez
>pilots are equivalent to tinbots in their superfluousness but that's just wrong. Pilots are actual fighting units, they have weapons, can be killed, can take actions on their own, score objectives like any other troop in the game. The tinbots can't do any of these things, they're just glorified markers that were introduced because "OMG little robots are so kawaiiii"
Joseph Green
Can you show me where it says that? The ITS pdf mentions Rem Pilots can be represented by markers, but I cant find anything about Manned TAGs and their pilots.

Jonathan Rogers
I have the red veil starter, and haven't gotten them assembled yet.
I found a good deal on figs, and can pick up most other single faction starters for $28 or so. What other faction should I pick up? Any specific models that'll enhance the red veil starter well?
Dylan Gutierrez
Qapu Khalki or ISS.
Ian Robinson
A Maghariba and a Guijia plus Dire Foes 6 :^)
Dominic Williams
Qapu Khalki has Hafzas, which can be the cellulose filler to some link teams, specialists, disguised firepower, decent hidden Lt, or the decoy to Saladin you may want to eventually get to supplement red veil with an actual useful Lt.
Djanbazan sniper in that is a classic model and decent active or reactive piece with the MSV2, ARM 3 and regeneration.
Odalisque is also pretty good with a 360 visor or 6th Sense. Sort of a Pseudo Heavy Infantry.
Plus, with that box more of the models are closer to the modern standard and it's not a repeat of the RV box.
Hassassin Bahram isn't that bad either, Fidays are great, Lasiqs are cool sniper dudes with viral, but I'm not too big of a fan of Daylami.
I can't in good conscience suggest the old Yu Jing starter as those Zhanshi are pretty ugly looking, the Domaru is outdated, and the Shang Ji is stepping on the toes of the HI you already have.
ISS starter is decent as you have a CoC model for the aggressive Hsien Lt you may want to field, great hackers (CG) for helping the Tiger drop down and provide some support, as well as anti camo measures with Crane Rank's sensor. Plus all the models look cool. With it you can squeeze into ISS as the Ninja is also available there, the Zuyong doesn't stand out too much among Wu Ming, and the Tiger can stand in for a GAruda if you're feeling adventurous.
Otherwise the JSA is a great starter in contents of actual profiles, the Oniwaban's an amazing assassin, Keisotsu are cheap and cheerful cheerleaders, the Kempeitei's great in sectorial for the Chain of Command, and the Domaru Chain Rifle is a hearty Lt, but that's dwelling into JSA more. In general, purchases that decently supplement the RV starters:
Hunzakut, Saladin, Ghazi Muttawi'ah for Haqqislam
the JSA support pack, any Yu Jing Remotes box (preferably the Yaokong), Guilang (bit of an old model though), Kanren
Jayden Peterson
One more suggestion for Yu Jing Red Veil: Shaolin monks (cheap smoke for the Hsien).
ISS is also good for getting the Kuang Shi Control device and smoke grenade launcher from one of the Guards.
Jose Powell
Scratchbuilt Heavy Pulse Rifle
Andrew Carter
I won't lie, I've never paid kickstarter enough interest to understand how this works.
So, if the whole thing accumulated 25,000$, they will do the O-yoroi pilot in standard 25mm.
But how can that model be acquired? Will I have to pledge a certain amount, and then acquire her through that?
Total bullshit btw that they lock that great model in their off-rail business shit, this should be acquirable through the regular CB line.
John Ward
I mean they even already have an O-Yoroi pilot, a nice 75mm version of that one. That is what they do, they do bigger decorative versions of the regular line, I even like them, a lot.
But don't additionaly take the 25mm version of that model and cramp it in your deco-busts business model as pure cash accumulator.
This is bringing YuJing tears back, I swear.
Christopher Hughes
I do wish they'd let another faction have a turn of being Angel's hostage, I just don't have the talent or time to make use of his products.
Tyler Green
>90mm Ajax model Mfw
>But how can that model be acquired? usually there's a pledge manager page that lets you customize your addons after the stretchgoals are unlocked. I'm not an expert tho, but it should be more or less like this.
Jeremiah Reyes
for some strange reason infinity is dying on me. it started with CB discontinuing the öine troops and blisters (so suddenly I had to buy multiple starter boxes to get my line infantry WYSIWG)... then I somehow got annoyed by all the special edition mioniatures eventhough I have some... and in the end after playing intensively you notice, obviously it's totally possible to spam certain units to max your list, the rules are just too good, the game feels like chess at a certain point and so on. I am not really shure if I am complaining it's not like all the GW nerdrage... it's more a slow and unspectacular death at leat for me... at least in the moment
Christian Sanchez
Thats actually pretty good. Props.

Sounds like you're simply burning out on it. It looks like you've been in Infinity for years, a burn like this is a natural thing.
Eh, it's just a pilot and they're probably going to do a general release later on anyway. And it's not like people don't mainly play Haramaki links and Shikami duos in JSA anyway. If you want to talk "hostage", consider Saber Joan. Such great unit, such terrible models unless you spring for the book.

The Brigada bust is named Acherontia. Is this a clue of a future MB named character or just more Acheron Falls "soon"? Also
>no servo muscles
Fuckin dropped. Not only are female MBs too twiggy, the bust does away with one of the best parts of HI. If there were any muscle girls to appear they would certainly be in Corregidor, their character would probably be modelled off pic related.

Friend of mine was pretty eager for Svalarheima, but guess it's Varuna coming out first?
I'm just curious to see what Ramah Task Force links will be like. Already easy to assume Tarik+Khawarij haris and/or duos and Ghulam cores, maybe with a Zheyadan tossed in too.
Charles Clark
Ghulam, Khawarijs and Zhayedan will very likely get core, with the latter two getting haris or duo as well. Not sure about Naffatun, they might be able to join other units in special links but the fluff makes that seem unlikely.
Cooper Cook
Yeah the undersea sectorial of PanO is first.
Possibly something new for ORCs, some new skirmisher, something to work the cutter into. Should be good.
Speaking of Ramah it'll be the army of pretty much super soldiers if you so choose right?
Jonathan Kelly
>some new skirmisher There won't be a new one. They get the Paradiso units, which means Croc Men (and also Teutons but unless they get fixed nobody cares)
Isaac Ortiz
>Ramah Taskforce Tarik+Khawarij is already confirmed and I believe the Khawarij will be getting a HRL. Ghulam Core is very likely Hopefully with Leila Sharif.
I believe Naffatuns were confirmed to be linkable too.
>Speaking of Ramah it'll be the army of pretty much super soldiers if you so choose right? It's the name of the Al Medinat Caliphate, so, yep, pretty much. IIRC it's the main Haqqislam Military
