STOP RIGHT THERE

Any tohaa player who has used the units from the 50€ pack? Just bought the 300pt box and don't know if I should just get the support box.

>cute alien waifus await those who join the Combined Army.
You need to stop lying to people.

>You need to stop lying to people.
Pot, meet kettle.

All of the units in the bundle are good. Rasails are tough fuckers who can go doorkicking and then really shit up the midfield with their mines, supp fire and flamethrowers. The support pack is the support pack. Kerails with Surdas get you regular smoke which allows for smoke combos and very respectable warbands with a side order of shock/AP suppressive fire.

Don't use Mutan beasts though. They just suck. Luckily you can build it as a Surda by just not attaching the guns.

Where is my Military Order bundle CB?

This is why your country came dead last in Eurovision.

They would have put the starter in there, a Seraph and one of the old Joans as well as all the Teutons.
Are you sure you'd want *that*?

Better than nothing.

It would be more of a trap set than the NCA one.
Now a 300pts box that has some thought put into it (and does not use the starter, like they decided with the ASS one) would be welcome.

Is there anything wrong with a Seraph as your TAG?

If you care about having smoke, very. YJ have some spicy MSV2 options to take advantage of smoke with the Hsien and Ru Shi, and if you want a cheap delivery system it's either monks or the Kuang Shi Controller CG (or both, nothing wrong with both).

Plus the monks themselves are super fucking killy for their cost, a 5pt chainrifle is scary enough and they've got the CC stats to bash a fucker's skull in with impunity.

It's just better in vanilla then MO.

>how important are monks to playing vanila yu jing?
Not mandatory, but if you weren't gonna take smoke Pan O is probably the better faction, and if you are taking smoke they are basically your go to.

You could take a kuang shi control device and some kuang shi instead, but then as soon as kuang shi go in your list monks become a major force multiplier since they get to activate before the kuang shi and set up smoke for them.

So, you can play fine without them, but you're better off finding the 10-20 points to include some.

We are proud of being last, and we hate Portugal not for winning but for giving us the 5 points we got.

ALEPH is demonstrably full of cute waifus though.

Cyberpunk Slum, progress

But it still keeps lying to people.

>that butt window
ALEPH certainly knows how to sell its robots.

Why lie when the truth is already so attractive?

When are these cheap starter packs for each faction available? Can't see any mention of them on the store.

starting 29th of May

May 29th to June somethingth

Monday, when Wotan kicks off

Shasvastii are the best part of CA.

29th to 2nd of June. Damn Cubans couldn't even let it run for a full week.

>to 2nd of June.
Oh hey, it ends the day UKGE starts.

Yanderefags pls go and stay go

Tsundere EI > Yandere ALEPH

Gosh I wish the Sophotect was sold Separately.

Regarding roof access points. How about installing two draining pipes, running parallel. Paint some bright orange rust to make them real visible. Put on couple metal clasps that look like a trained trooper could easily step on and climb them.

Would this be a satisfyingly believable solution?

Ah, a classic.

Could also go for just having one by itself, with matchsticks across it for rungs. Put it in a corner, have matchsticks go from one wall to another so they look like they're holding the pipe in place.

Duh.

It was, if you can find a store that sells old blisters.

Rasails are beastmode, the support pack isn't bad but isn't necessary (tohaa has specialists everywhere). It's the only way you'll get an engineer, so pick it up if you're running the avatar of khaine.

Kerails+Surda is like a discount triad. You throw smokes to get your beasts into range, then suicide them into mobs with Pulzars; with Kinematica L2 and Dogged, you're probably going to kill some shit (Viral CCWs aren't terrible either). Smokes aren't super useful in Tohaa, only Gao-Rail can really make use of it, and you have plenty of Eclipse and Nimbus+ models.

It's a good pickup if you want to paint Symbiobeasts. Otherwise, pick up the Rasails and something else you want for the $50.

Alke is tsundere tho.

I've never seen it. I've seen the DEVA sold separately, which is close enough, but not the Sophotect.

And I'm a guy who found the Battlefoam Exclusive Yuan Yuan in a store and bought it for about 17 bucks.

Oh, I like that! Good chances I'll post the results in the coming days. Cheers

>It's the only way you'll get an engineer
Kosuils say hello

Nomads > ALEPH or CA

I'll gladly trade you my Sophotect for that LE Yuan ;)

Only doctor. Woops.

QFT

A pic posted by Kenny Ruiz for his meet up tomorrow.

Have you not seen the space apes?

ALIVE! Background: Meet SWITCH
Since the incident he has not like to be called by his name. Since then, he only has answered to his alias: Switch.
Switch is a very special boy, although he might seem at first impression apathetic, depressive, or even violent.
I first met Switch when he lost his parents in a strange laboratory incident in the Silvania region. After that, he was assigned to me as a patient here in the psychology unit of the PanOceanian Military Complex on Paradiso.
His parents were buried with full honors, and as compensation apart from this treatment, the High Command decided to pay for Switch’s studies. The truth is that he is a brilliant student.
When he arrived he barely said a word. Had I not already known of his traumatic loss, I might have thought him autistic. During our chats, there were some subjects that seemed to turn on a switch in him that connected him to reality. This is why the office chose the nickname.
We have worked hard in that sense and now he seems like someone else. He is now working on a personal project. I have no idea what it’s about, but it seems to motivate him and help him to live with the pain.
And that is pretty much all I am allowed to tell. The rest of it is protected by patient confidentiality.
[Statement by Dr. Abigail Weise, interrogation 085-19B85]

Oh hell no. I knew that goes for sixty bucks or so when I was buying it a year an a half ago.

Plus Red Veil and the Fat Yuan Yuan pack has long given QK players chances to get good lucking Yuan Yuan.

And I ruined it with my paintjob already after holding on to it for a year.

I'm not doing that uneven a trade, I'm proud of having this model.

Which 50 euro bundles are good? I am thinking of starting Infinity, but unsure of faction.

Yu Jings the best (most recent models), the Haqqislam, combined army, and Nomads ones are ok, the rest are meh.

I do wish we saw more of the rest of the team and their dynamic. I dont remember the ninja even doing anything outside dying.

I have, and they are inferior to sneaky space bug lizards.

All this talk of waifus has made me realize that the Aleph list I'm planning is basically a harem anime.

>Asura, the kuudere
>Dasyu Hacker, the yandere

I Can Believe My Aspect Is This Cute!: coming soon on Maya.

Yes. And no. It almost entirely depends on the faction. I'm honestly thinking about the Corregidor one, which is solid enough. The NCA one is pretty shitty, but I think that's just because CB still have no idea what NCA players actually run. I can't say shit about the ALEPH, Tohaa or the Haqq ones. The Morat one is pretty good; buy some Furies, and you've got yourself an army right there. I'm pretty sure the ISS one is good, but I don't know the faction well enough to say. And the Ariadna one...

Well, the Ariadna bundle is glorious Kazak. Which is good, yes. But also strange since it's the only bundle other than the ALEPH -- and I guess Tohaa -- that isn't for a sectorial. It's also hilariously far from being 300 points. And it's only three separate kits which is short-changed compared to everything else. It is kind of a steal to get the double Dog-Warriors at that price, but that also sort of spoils the bundle. It'd honestly probably have been a lot better if instead of the pups, they'd given you a Tankhunter, Spetsnaz, and Scout. But as is, you just get a really scattered pile of pewter that requires a good deal of work to actually turn into a list.

And fuck Vanilla Ariadna. The self-mortification of the Kazak Sectorial is the only way to go. I'll even forgive you for being a backwater Tartary savage instead of an urban warrior from Rodina.

Don't forget hermaphrodites.

The Corregidor one is pretty good, comes to about 250pts. What you need for it is a Moran or two, a Bandit or two and the HRL Wildcat in case you want to run them as core instead of Jaguars. Two Intruders is a bit excessive, but I guess with two you can do some shell games.

Yeah, I actually kinda dig the double Intruder. Obviously, one for HMG kill-murder, especially with help from some Jaguar smoke. The second one, your enemy knows is also going to be an Intruder, but you can spice him up each and every time. A Hacker this time, benefiting from a Wildcat's deployable repeater. A hidden LT the next. All of the Intruders profiles look good to me, from a pure numbers perspective, aside from maybe the base and the ADHL.

I have sort of been spoiled by playing Kazaks as far as shell games go, though. From Tankhunters and Scouts and Ambush Camo Spetsnaz with their tricksy extra Camo marker, it seems like Corregidor is sort of limited as far as what can be underneath a camo marker. If it's out of deployment zone, obviously a Bandit. If it isn't, obviously -- most likely -- an Intruder.

I fucking love Ambush Camo. Last game I played, the decoy token lurking on a vantage point over a courtyard actually prompted my opponent to go for a different objective rather than risk the wrath of the Camo. Cautious movement through the alley that it was covering, and then running off to the other side of midfield. The look on his face when the actual Spetsnaz gunned that guy down and the token was revealed to be a decoy... priceless.

Do you agree with thought?

I meant the of course, hard to concentrate with all the fuzz around.

Pick up the Morat box and you can get about 300 points right there. Personally I'd by the Hungries box ($25 on gamenerds) and you have a pretty legit list.

You can run a Wildcats core and a Massacre haris; it'll eat up a lot of SWC but hey, Nomad problems.

I wouldn't personally run two Intruders, but they tend to die to bullshit, so having a backup isn't bad. With two jags roaming and two in a haris, you have plenty of smoke coverage to support two Intruders.

It's a decent pack. Decent pickups would be the Tomcat engineer, Geckos, Lunokhod, and a Bandit or two.

The killer hacker profile on the Bandit is super legit. She gets Cybermask, so walk her up to something with Impersonation 2, blast them with a shotgun Surprise Shot for a solid -6/+6 modifier. I do it all the time with the Custodier.

>Aspect
I see what you did there.

Noice

Jesus, €21.50 shipping to the states. Guess I'm skipping this.

Yeah, if you take the YJ bundle for example on gamenerdz, it adds up to about 81 dollars free shipping where the bundle with the shipping and converting the Euros to real money is 77 dolars. So, yeah, you do save some money, but it isn't that much.

Check if your FLGS can order it for you, I guess.

Vanilla TAGs are actually bad. Unless the TAG has something really special about it, don't bother.

TAGs with non multi hmgs or spitfires always just seem terrible.

I don't think the CA one is good. Morats are easy to learn but ultimately lacking in punch and unsatisfying. There's nothing wrong with the contents and I actually really like Morat models (they're very satisfyingly bulky and physically imposing) but wouldn't recommend them as an army.

Vanilla Ariadna is probably one of the strongest vanilla armies, I think.

Almost without a doubt. But only bitchboys run Vanilla.

What are the other Strong ones? Aleph, YJ, and CA I'd imagine (discounting Tohaa).

Which one's on top? Seems like a tough call.

>All of the Intruders profiles look good to me
Interesting, the commonly held belief is that you either take MSR or HMG, nothing else. The Intruder is already quite expensive for a 1W model and he's damn slow, so he benefits from long range weapons. For a hardy hacker the Brigada is better and faster. For ADHL you go with a Hellcat or a Bandit. For an Lt a Wildcat is my personal choice, but that's because I run a Core of them. But here Brigada might be better again due to second Wound and MULTI Rifle instead of Combi.

Well, I did put an exclusion on the base and the ADHL, but as a Kazak player, the Intruders just look nice for a bit of a shell game with markers. Obviously, one of those two markers is going to be an HMG, but if you plop down a second? Who's lurking there? You can whip out a hacker if you don't want to pay for the price of a Brigada and use a Wildcat's repeater and remotes to expand his hacking area. You can just hide a cowardly Lt there to make yourself a little safer from LoL than if you had it on a Wildcat that's up in your enemy's face. Etc. I never discount the ability to mindfuck my opponent with Camo tokens. And in an army that has so little Camo, the fact that your opponent knows it's an Intruder lurking beneath it but not what variety can help to make them rethink their movements.

Paying for a Visor that you might not ever use is a bit annoying, but at the same time, if you just toss a Jaguar nearby to give him smoke, even a Combi Rifle or a flamethrower can become at least moderately effective.

You must absolutely love the Raiden and the brand new Major Lunah.

The problem with Camo shellgame is that Corregidor has exactly two camo units (and for a long time had only one): Intruder and Bandit. If it's in DZ it's an Intruder, if it's out of DZ and generates an Irregular Order, it's a Bandit. And an Intruder is always a high priority target. There's no Minelayer without a Spec-Ops either.
Hardly a shell game when all your shells contain the same thing. If you want to play Camo games with Nomads, you have to go with vanilla or Bakunin.

Also:
>use a Wildcat's repeater
That's a pretty stupid way to get a Repeater out when you have Repeater-laying Bandits or Hellcats and Repeater carrying Remotes and Morans.
Wildcats are slow and order hungry with their weapons alone. That profile is taken for the shotgun, not the Repeater. And I never take it anyway, since my Engi, Lt and Number 2 all have underslung LFTs for close range.

>Paying for a Visor that you might not ever use is a bit annoying
That's why people were rather upset at the Hacker Nisse model, aside from Bostria hyping up Black Friar.

The Raiden is superb.

So first caveat: all vanilla options are actually good because of the wide variety of options. I just feel Ariadna is particularly good because they essentially write off on side of the game without (much) punishment and many of their troops are very, very good at the thing they do without a ton of frills adding to cost.

I think the "strongest" vanilla options are probably like ALEPH and Nomads.

Iggy is sex, fuck you.

Shit, I love the Raiden just as it is. In all of my theoretical JSA samurai-spam lists, they are what most of my SWC gets dumped into.

Fair enough. And all of this is just theory-crafting without having ever placed Corregidor on the table. But you also seem to be taking half of my statements without the rest. I already said that the Wildcat's repeater would just be part of using remotes as well to extend a hypothetical Intruder hacker's ZoC. And yes, Wildcats are 4-2 MI, but if it is also your Core teamteam, it's going to be coming along for the ride and getting into enemy territory. And a B3 auto-hitting BSG that's still B2 on the reactive turn is nothing to write-off.

And again, don't write-off even limited shell games. Everyone I play knows that my Camo tokens outside of the DZ are Scouts. But are they BSG? Are they Ojotniks? Specialist that's going to run the point, or an E/Mauler ready to lock down their HI? Consider it this way. When what is underneath the token is limited to one or two units, that only makes your opponent second-guess themselves that much more. You know exactly what unit is underneath the token, but there's still 5 different profiles that one unit might be. And if you approach it the wrong way, if it treat it as the profile that it isn't, you might just burn yourself. Especially since you say that the Intruder is going to be a priority target. You know that, your opponent knows that. And you can lure them in, using their own decisions against them.

Don't you talk to me or my Eduardo ever again!

This and your last post are pretty much what i said last thread. JCC is a good deal, most people are of the hmg/msr or nothing mindset. Intruder Lt is fairly safe and can protect cheerleaders.

>tfw the greatest unassisted shot in the entire galaxy is some frog slut into getting knotted

where can i find all those bundles?

The Infinity webstore in three days.

ah ok.

This may be old to most people here, but is there any way to get the "Dire Foes" missions and fluff stories without buying the boxes?

nonfurfags btfo

Yeah, by asking on Veeky Forums.
Someone will share any you want shortly.

Nomads aren't fun to play against. It's the most aggravating experience I've had. It's a sandbox of anxiety as they play with your units.

Crazy Koalas, Sin Eaters, Covering the board with repeaters, those fucking furries and more.

Be im overexerting

My friend is legit triggered by Koalas. Like he once said: "I dread the day I will meet a person without God in their heart who plays Taskmaster Duo".

I remember having to type this out a long time ago so yeah. I am that someone.

First off, look closely on the downloads page of infinity, the missions were there all along. Free nontheless.

Now on to fluff:

Guǐ Fēng Xi Zhuang

Most would consider Xi Zhuang a workaholic; he'll claim to be 'committed to his duty'. It's in his blood. His grandfather was a policeman for twenty years until he was gunned down furing the Mùyú Wars between the Shentang Triads. Xi Zhuang has devoted his life to law enforcement, working his way to the Celestial Guard, where he was approached by the Yanjing intelligence service to join the Guǐ fēng as a Special Forces operative. He became known for bringing the Imperial Service brand of implacability to the job, which only helped his reputation as a man not to be trifled with. As far as Xi Zhuang is concerned, the law is the only thing keeping citizens free, even if it must be enforced from the shadows of a covert operation.

Husam Operative Leila Sharif

Who am I? Isn't that what you're really asking? Take your pick. I'm a young Daylami from the Azar desert — a bleak place, harsh place. By dint of perseverance and discipline, this young girl became a valuable asset to the brass and earned the commendations to join the special forces, where she was asked to risk her life in classified operations of which there is no record anywhere.

Or maybe I'm a scion of the Daylami neotribal culture and its infamous guerrilla militias. A scion who made it into the Special Forces, where she trained under Hassassin masters to learn all about assassination and sabotage. Maybe I put those lessons to bear throughout the Human Sphere, following the enigmatic designs of the sect, becoming an enemy of society.

Who am I, then? An exemplary operative, or a menace? Which do you need me to be?

...Leila Sharif. Evaluation interview...

Truly I just want more profiles for Mirage-5. Ideally one without AD and one that can fielded solo for each.

CrazyKoalas are the reason I love Holo Level 2.

Thank you, dear Anons!
The dropbox is missing "Viral Outbreak" in English (and of course "Defiant Truth" but that's probably too fresh), but other than that, thank you for providing!

I play Aleph so I get super scared going up against our local nomad player.

As you should be.
