Infinity General: Adventures in Space Edition

Infinity is a 28mm scale futuristic skirmish game by Corvus Belli which started with a bunch of Spaniards playing a sci-fi RPG together yet we're still waiting for the system to be released.

I've got a Tournament this weekend, are these lists at least decent, or am I retarded? Missions are Show of Force, Supremacy, and Transmission Matrix, and I know there will be a Yu Jing player and a Onyx player, potentially Nomads and USAriadna as well.

I'm a little less impressed with the second list. Double Fiday alpha strike sounds hilariously fun, but I'm worried it might be too gimmicky for a tournament setting.

Rule question:

1. For 'Reset', rules say I MAY apply Guts Roll rules after winning a FtF WIP roll. Do I choose if I make a guts roll or not, or do I have to?

2. For 'Dodge' it says that one must lay out the dodge special movement (in ARO) before the roll is made.

I was wondering what situations make this relevant? The couple games I played so far, we usually forgot or ignored this, with seemingly no detrimental effect to the game, announcing the dodge movement's path after the roll.

Asking because I aim for a deeper understanding of the rules.

I like seeing middling and amateur paint jobs and overall schemes. Post an army group shot of yours.

Rookie Bakuunin user here.

Can I get a nice list for the bakuunin sectorial that'd work for a noobie?

Bakunin doesn't have two u's in it.

This should get the ball rolling. If you are willing to proxy loadouts, you can minimize extra purchases. It uses all of the starter box models, though I feel the Moira is a bit extraneous. They really are best served when they get a hold of the big gun, but the existing SWC weapon users are hard to argue with.

Anyway the key is obviously the Riot GRRL core fireteam. 5 man heavy infantry pain trains are extremely compelling and the GRRLS are among the leanest and the meanest. Very good hacker protection with the tinbot with a killer hacker zero ready to punk hacker that tries.

Thanks a bunch for the list user.

Gonna pick up a couple other faction starters so me and friends can play outside of the local groups loaners.

Any other armies you'd recommend?

1: Guts roll after surviving a hacking attack is mandatory, as it is an attack.

2: CB just likes to have intentions made clear before dice are rolled, it's really of no consequence in that context.

I understand everything but the Moira. There doesn't seem to be any point to her. Lacklustre short range guns on an expensive and slow unit.

Really it depends on playstyle and how much you like the look of models.

If you are looking to get to 300 economically, the 300 point army boxes are tough to beat.

Tohaa is a damn solid box overall, packing a lot of the must haves in one convenient box. Just add a Gao-Rael and Hatail for proxy duty and you've got a lot to work your head around. The Kosuil, upcoming Sukeul, and Rasails are solid additions for variety. My only issue is that some of the included models are a bit difficult to assemble (damn Clipsos).

Onyx is a bit rougher as a starter as it starts with two coreteams, but it is functional. All the models are new and thus fairly easy to assemble. Add a Samaritan, Med Tech Obsidon Medchanoid (aka Doc Worm), and Missile Launcher Noctifier to mix things up. Next stops include the Unidron SWC box, Ikadron, and perhaps the Sphinx.

Imperial Service can create it's own box with the Imperial Service Starter, Wu Ming Assault Corps box, and a Kanren. It, like Onyx, has two core fireteams out of the box, but is still functional. Also all new models. The fifth Wu Ming, a Gui Feng spec ops, and a Ninja can help round out some options. Expansions include the Yaokong or Yaoxie remotes, the infamous Kuang Shi, or the Su Jian depending on your preference. Picking up the NInja and Hsien from Red Veil isn't bad either.

That said, the last two options are for specific sectorials. Sectorials can get a little focused into certain styles of play compared to the Vanilla factions.

If you want something smaller scale, the two starters Icestorm and Red Veil are pretty good. Just keep in mind Red Veil comes in a little heavier points wise than Icestorm.

obviously this is only half of my army

Holy shit, that's a great source for reaction images.

Which half?

You failed your discover roll for the joke.

also a good interpretation since most camo guys are on the left

The idea for the list was to try minimizing extra purchases.

A worthwhile swap would be Avicenna, an extra moderator, and a Morlock for the Moira and Daktari.

As is the Moira isn't a bad shooter. In Suppression, she'll help hold down the shorter lanes that the HMG and ML miss.

In that case then freeing up one point for a multi rifle would be a smart move as it has far superior supp fire.

HD doesn't allow a Discover roll.

Here's a from-behind shot of my CA.

I'll have you know that I excel at being an amateur

There's also this for a budget 200pts one

love the clonetrooper style.

A thing I noticed about Aquila Guard is that he has a Shock CCW listed, but none sculpted. Old HMG Aquila had a sword.
However he also conveniently has his arm out hand clenched, so he could be holding something.
And I have a lot of 40k bits lying around...
So:
Chainsword, Power Sword or Thunder Hammer? I'm leaning towards chainsword myself.

This shouldn't even be a question, chainswords are far cooler than regular swords.

>chainsword
Only if you want to be immediately outed as 40fag.

There's hardly anyone in wargaming that hasn't been at some point.
Also "Aquila Guard". And it's an elite Heavy Infantry guy in a coat, just to look badass. Come on.

it'll look out of place no matter what you pick

either swap his hand for a MO knight's hand+sword, or leave him with the shockCCW tactical fist

With the number of Infinity players coming from 40k (I'd guess more than 80%) that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It's the difference between having played shit and now knowing better, and still liking shit.

Also:
>Aquila
>it's only a 40k symbol and not a Roman one!
Granted, the "HI in coat" thing is retarded.

Chainswords aren't new, mang. I haven't played 40k in years and I've still got some lying around.

>Granted, the "HI in coat" thing is retarded.
Not really. The Aquila's coat isn't all that good for anything other than looking like a pimp and maybe pockets, but the concept is sound. Coats can protect your servos from mud or sand, and they also help keep the heat in when you're in cold environments.

Alright, thanks so far. I'm not entirely content with

>1: Guts roll after surviving a hacking attack is mandatory, as it is an attack.

Surviving a hacking attack and making a Guts Roll to me means succeeding a BTS roll (or failing it, and simply surviving the consequences the attack; having your comms equipment damaged f.e.). So in these cases the Guts Roll is clear.

But making a Guts Roll after winning a FtF seems odd, as f.e. you don't make a Guts Roll after winning a BS attack FtF.

So I see it as kind of in a special place. And it being in a special place, I still wonder if "may" in this context means "making a Guts Roll is up to you".

(Which effectively means you would have a choice between outcomes: decide against the roll means not having to suffer a failing roll, deciding for having to make the roll means getting the option to automatically fail it.)

I'm new, and seeing how bloated this assumption seems after having it written out, I start to feel that it's simply mandatory. Still would like to hear if there are other opinions.

>Morats taking prisoners
>Morats having sex with other species.
I understand that Veeky Forums is supposed to be waifu-central, but the guys that refuse to be served by slaves from other species might not be the best choice for interracial union.

Some gender equality, tho.

The man can have a hope.
Also, is there any picture of how spacecraft looks?

That's a dope look. Nailed the camo without it being too much like camouflage.

Solid, that bone and orange makes a good scheme, and it also reminds me that most of the time that I've seen EVO remotes played, it was with CA. Don't know why people who play human factions aren't as prone to using it.

Excellent in the department of looking unified. As a group it's pretty good but it definitely looks like I don't want to look to closely at any particular model.
I've been playing Vanilla Yu Jing a lot recently, never thought I wouldn't have missed link teams.


What if the shock CCW is the Panzerfaust he's modeled with but doesn't use?

Thx. My first tried at camo were too good at camo and ugly looking. I am satisfied. Also my inspiration:

Take your propaganda out of here.
Remove Alien scum, Remove Artichoke. We don't need your shit overlords who can't even competently control an empire.

I'm afraid your only hope is to rape her.
Or to build up a trustworthy relationship by exchanging top secret intel about the Shasvastii and [insert you least favorite human faction here], and then manage to impress her by killing a Sogarat in melee and eating his still beating heart. And then rap... court her like a morat.
Whatever your choice is, good luck, you'll need it.

About ships, N2 had some gunships on the cover, the moiras art and human sphere cover both had sa couple fighters, but I don't remember seeing one of the big ships.
Maybe with the next human edge fluff. As you said one can hope.

Some of the RPG updates have ships in them. There's a picture of a Circular, at the very least.

>We don't need your shit overlords who can't even competently control an empire.
So, remove Aleph then?

I don't want tanks and stuff but I would like to have gunships or the very least flying drones.

the fluff also had mosquito-sized recon drones (for PanO iirc).

Its sweet but it would require me playing Nomads.

Maybe have it as a piece of deployable kit, like how Crazy Kolas kinda work. Infinity is missing more recon drones.

Imagine having a drone operator, deploy a drone, then use the drone to forward Observe

Flying drone perimeter weapons does sound kind of cool.

G:Synch flying drones also sounds cool.

Warcor has aerocam.

So what did you use as HVT's before the HVT's came out?

I recall a guy using Chewbacca, I personally just used a Tiger Soldier I painted but otherwise didn't use, or some other random model from my army like a Karakuri.

It just has 360 degrees and thats just it. The Aerocam doesn't do much.

...

Say that to my face not online see what happens

If you win the F2F roll with Reset you may choose to apply guts. Meaning you can try and move out of range of the comms attack, following the guts rules. Doing this is optional.

If you fail the F2F roll you'll have to take a BTS save. If you survive you will be forced to make a guts check.

It's basically allowing you to move similar to successful dodge, but in a less straight forward manner.

Does anyone have the early concept art for the Tohaa?
When they weren't humans with artichoke heads

how the fuck does that work ?
playing matriochkas with ships seems like a complete waste of time.

Im sweatin bullets here, trying to make a show of force list with Acon againts space japs. Brought a bagh mari link and forgot we were playing tagline round 5. So now my link is blind againts some plasma slinging fuck

Oh man, I remember seeing that. They were cute little guys the size of Crazy Koalas and I'd much rather have had them as an army than the rubber forehead aliens there are now.

It's in a book, but I don't have it and this was the best I found.

>Imagine having a drone operator, deploy a drone, then use the drone to forward Observe
So, almost like the standard G:RP sensor drones?

Isn't it true that all three Nomad ships can fit in one circular?

...

>(I'd guess more than 80%)
>dat projections

We could have had bubble bobble kappa from space.

Sort of but with much longer range than 8 inches. Are make it more mobile.

You can either have ALEPH or catgirls. I think the choice is obvious.

...

What's the faction with more butts?

Another pic of my PanO. Going to a tournament in the coming weeks

Last pic I promise. I hope you guys like

Dunno, but Ariadna is the faction with the best butts.

What about the fluffy ta- oooh I see what you did there.

Does anyone have plans for the RPG?

I'm planning to run a campaign that will advance the setting in ways that I don't think CB ever would, starting with the CA over-running Paradiso Fall of Reach style. Then the PCs have to take on more urgent missions from O-12 as the CA push deeper into the Human Sphere and the situation becomes increasingly desperate.

Good luck, user.

The lack of fuckable females would have doomed that from the start. Look at what happened to the Exrah

>t. Antipode handler

That's not the EVO for CA, but people run them more there because CA's EVO is on a 40mm base and comes with a Combi. It's just better than the human ones.

Sure, fight me. I'll say it to your face.

Pictured here is the EVO

Also comes with the amazing Exile program, and Goodnight. Way better than human ones.

Hope you bring a rulebook or tablet to prove to people basic stuff like 6th Sense allows you to delay your ARO or that the +1 Burst from dual pistols doesn't apply to the reactive turn. Don't forget your dice, lists, courtesy lists, markers, and tape measure.

Have fun in your tournament, and may your WIP rolls pass!

True, but neither program is as important as coming on the smaller base and a gun standard. That alone makes the EVO more than just corner case tricks (which Exile and Goodnight add to).

If auxbots could fly

I too use Reddit.

Bandit would be the perfect protagonist for an Infinity single player video game.

>cool and evergreen mask + hood design
>belongs to the edgy but not edgelord underdog faction
>has invisibility powers and great CC skills, translating to interesting gameplay mechanics

>can meet Daktari

Prove me wrong.

>is nomad scum

There, proven wrong

>is from best faction
>somehow this is wrong
I don't follow.

I agree with you in the point about the Bandit design is perfect for defining the Nomads.

If CB ever makes a Dungeon Crawler game, and they have to choose a unit for every faction, I would choose:

- Knight for PanO.
- Ninja for Yu Jing.
- Tankhunter for Ariadna.
- Hassassin Lasiq for Haqqislam.
- Bandit Hacker for Nomads
- Deva for ALEPH

And all of them fighting against evil Unidrones.

Lol at Nomads being best faction.
Try again.

A Deva? Why not a Naga or even a Myrm?

As much as I love the Hassassin Lasiq, I wouldn't say it's particularly good at defining the faction. For one thing, the Lasiq is Medium Infantry in a faction defined by Light Infantry. Also, it's an extremely straightforward unit with no tricks in one of the trickiest factions in the game.

With that kind of composition I'd exchange Bandit for a Zero or a Custodier personally. Ninja already covers the sneaky Camo CC guy.

Bandit is perfect for a solo game because he's a Swiss army knife. But in a party you need specialists.

Also with WIP12 Bandit is a shoddy hacker, not just by Nomad standards.

What does Ariadna do better than Haqq?
They were sold to me as the LI, camo-intensive underdog, but it seems Haqq has all of that plus a lot of variety.
