The funny thing is the one on the left still looks better than GW models.

Daily reminder to never trust primitives

Eh, I dunno. I'd say it looks a bit worse than a Dreadnought, if only because Dreadnought does look like a walking coffin. But maybe I just still think Dreads are cool.

What's with this new Aleph anti-Ariadna propaganda.

>Truth
>propaganda

>ALEPH
>truth

>FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH HUMAN SPHERE
>NOW EI IS MY BEST FRIEND

Reminder that Uhahu is cute and not for sexual.

Nah, Plebian was banned from it because he won too many times.

This is just Nomads being butthurt.

Doesn't surprise me, many competitions have a "if you win too many times in a row, you're not allowed to compete next year" rule. Happened to my aunt with a folk-song competition of all things.

Although with minis I'd want Plebian on the judge team if it was possible.

The usual custom is three times in a row. And yes, they should have asked him to officiate or something. AFAIK that's not how it shook out though.

That's dumb. Why punish someone for being good?

Because it's an even greater accolade. "You're so good you don't even need to compete anymore; instead, we want *your* help running the show."

To make sure the competition doesn't stagnate and the sure winner doesn't scare away new competitors.
Although possibly Infinity players should just analyze winners more, like StarCraft players do. But I guess replays are a little harder to come by.

Who won then? WIth Morats?

I think many players also just refuse to ape the top dog and rather roll with their (potentially inferior) own favourite set of models.

>potentially inferior
Doesn't Plebian roll with Shasvastii or something?

Infinity is a game that is completely free of net lists. If you build a well balanced list, you can bring almost anything and be competitive. The top players win tournaments with different factions all the time.

Vanilla CA. I don't know what his online handle is, I just know his irl name.

He isn't in my meta but this is what I remember from seeing it online:

Interplanetario 2017 (2nd place): USAriadna
Gencon Invitational 2016 (1st Place): Tohaa
Interplanetario 2016 (3rd Place): Combined Army
Gencon Invitational 2015 (1st Place): Merovingia

Vanilla CA seems strong. Was this before or after B&K?

And it's worth noting that there was some pretty heavy cheating going on at the Interplanetario, according to him... fucking Spaniards colluding or some shit.

Before.

So who has gotten into Aristeia?

I can't wait for the first expansion, think it will really open the game up.

Wish they had scheduled it earlier.

...

>I don't know what his online handle is, I just know his irl name.
Did he ever post lists anywhere?

>Doesn't Plebian roll with Shasvastii or something?
Nah, that's Master of Melee.

Definitely Plebian.

>Shasvastii
started infinity because of the camo shell game...current edition is lacking I hope they do some justice for making me wait so long for them.

Gwailo fireteam is pretty fucking good though. And I've seen some good Shas camo/impersonation lists.

I run 2 killers, 2 hmg drones, 3 shrouded FO, Mally hacker and a noctifer ML and docworm normally. Its very hard for people to deal with that

...

Goddamn infinity minis look good
Totally independent of Infinity (sadly I'm a poorfag that doesn't play) but propaganda doesn't have to be false. Something like America making a statement that North Korea has massive food shortages is both true and propaganda.

sometimes I do bit+kiss and docworm trade for mally.

What's the story with this? Did some humans finally see who the good guys are?

Nah, Ariadna players decided to take their role as Spess Cops seriously during the Wotan event, which got a bug up the Nomads' players collective asses, and they've been spewing this kind of propaganda ever since.

I like your style.

Damn, was hoping someone would have seen the true saviors of humanity.

>poorfag
You see the 300 point boxes? They sell them at below cost.

Bit did.

And ko dali

>the true saviors of humanity
PanO?

They are under the influence of ALEPH who is just going to control them and the rest of the human sphere when it's strong enough. Meanwhile the EI will let humanity stay like it was except better with no conflict and maybe even offer them transcendence when the time comes.

Hello.

>humanity
>better with no conflict

You know how I know you're a Shasvastii?

So which should be the first human faction to fall when the EI starts to get serious?

I vote for either ALEPH or Nomads.

I'm not one of those quiet and a little weird lizards, try again.

Correct answer.

See

But if that were the case, the EI would just adopt them, not destroy them.

Rate my list lads!

Infinity has a weird relationship with the competitive side. I think it took root early as a reaction against Warmachine and 40k. There is a balance between unit strengths/list composition and player skill. Infinity is definitely weighted more on the player skill side but a lot of the community want to believe it rests there entirely. Look at discussion around TAGs or 10 order lists.

It's been refreshing lately to see some of that changing with things like the all the lists being published after Interplanetario and the analysis that went into that.

...

You have 4 points left over. There is no reason not to take an Imetron. It's an interesting list. Find a way to take some Datrazi to support your Charontid.

I've been out of touch since Icestorm/N3 dropped.

What's happened of note? Is Tunguska a sectorial yet? Are Intruders still the best?

Thanks I took your pointers into account and updated it:

GwBgjAPgzCIQIgJwAQHUD2iC2yBmBLADwFMBnZAFwAtjkBZAQ0QGtSsGA7Uq/AB2QCqHfABNE6LhAAsYAKQBWKACZZYAJxgQsgIQyFy1Rq3aVUtVFUB2eVJ2nzVmzvlzLADgtK1Ui9rBuFEDVVN3U7AJdg/xcdS1kzALB3Wz8LeRBbfzA5AAEpAMs9JXklFKhgBSU4/w8dcsrqt1q/CvTGsArtKHlKipqVLp6SvqaVHJygA=

On side note, are there any REMs that really benefit from Marksmanship L2 from Assisted Fire beyond the Lu Duan, Ru Shi and Q-Drone? Is the Xeodron too points heavy to give it Assisted Fire? Also what do PanO players think of the Bulleteer Armbot with Heavy Shotgun, Marksmanship L2 and it's ODD?

Looking better, I would play that. Note that imetrons can't be moved between combat groups so most people put them in the main group.

There are few remotes that aren't great with MML2. TR bots and Qdrone are great. Xeodron is a TAG though so no buffing. Unidrons in Onyx with a full five man link and buffs are insane.

Human Sphere upgraded to N3
No, next book
Yes

You're a genius, I completely forgot about Onyx. I feel lack a Charontid though.

This is the best I could do with Onyx:

>implying cubeless savages would be capable of seeing the light
Those fucks can't even work with their own race when it's a good idea, and it's not like any of their past experiences with aliens have been positive. Besides, with their pathetic population, shitty tech and leadership incapable of wrangling its own people, you might as well just wipe them out anyway even if their top brass does cooperate. Not like anything of value will be lost.

>What's happened of note?
A lot.
Haris is now almost everywhere, there's Fireteam Duos, many weapons have been changed around (eg. Feurebach is now a long range anti-tank gun rather than a short range strong puncher), there's new skills and TAG pilots are specialists. Two new sectorials since you left, USAriadna Ranger Force and Onyx. Also Kriza Boracs are finally a real unit and they fucking murder.

Noctifer Lt is kinda bleah. I would make the Nexus the Lt and drop an Imetron to pick up a Fraacta.

Noctifer Lt is really the only "safe" Lt in Onyx. OTOH Onyx is kinda about living dangerously.

Isn't the Haqqislam planet just one jump away from Paradiso?

Their warriors were good enough to stave off attacks from much better funded and more advanced forces. Also their planet has some really good metal on it. That's got to be worth something.

Cheating? How so

infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/50057-interplanerary-2017/

The last game was where the issues were.

They've got no cubes and don't know how to interface with even current human tech, not to mention population levels unfit for any conquest. A few good guerilla fighters aren't worth it, especially when they'd much rather use those asymmetric warfare skills against you than your enemies.

The metal can be taken after they're virus bombed. Only reason the human sphere hasn't done it yet is because they're pussies and O12 wants to keep the bigger empires in check.

>Isn't the Haqqislam planet just one jump away from Paradiso?
Yep, but I'm guessing they'll go after Svalarheima first. Cutting off Silk supply isn't something CA should really want to do, certainly not this early in the war. All that nice mining shit on Svalarheima, on the other hand, is fair game.

>infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/50057-interplanerary-2017/

Thats pretty shitty

> My opponent demanded to know the combat groups of my camo tokens, which is not public information (that is why it is not on courtesy lists).
Huh, I actually didn't know that, but it not showing up on the courtesy list makes sense. The rest of that is total horseshit though.

As a CA player, makes me have real mixed feelings about Bit & Kiss. Logan probably cheated his way to the top of the ratings.

I would but he'd have a massive target painted on his head. I've burnt a lot of orders in the past to hunt down and kill a Nexus Lt. in the past with a Spetznaz HMG and Foxtrot BSG.

Man, I really love Foxtrot BSG so good for 19 points.

I take it logan was the winning dude?

Defeats the purpose of using mines as part of the shell game if they can just point to a marker and ask which group its in.

He was the dude who topped the ITS rankings, who was the opponent who cheated vs. Plebian at the Interplanetario.

That's right. I'd tell the guy to get fucked. I'd like to see someone run this:

I started infinity 1 month ago, really enjoying the whole experience.

>Fantastic models
>I love the skimpy aesthetic, combat heels and cute grills contrasted with everything else, it's fun
>Acceptable price
>Rules seem pretty good so far, everything is multiples of 3, special rules are universal - Only played a handful of games though
>Local community is full of great guys
>Local 20+ player tournaments are hitting player cap, this doesn't happen in my main game (Malifaux)
>ITS seems like a fun system, even though I'm not super competitive
>Never been in to Sci-fi but it's growing on me

If this keep up Infinity might just get a promotion from side chick to main.

to be fair malifaux was designed to be the side chick.

glad to see people having fun.

Not hiding game rules behind a paywall goes a long way.

Welcome to the party user. Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself.

What happened after? Did he get booted? Or nothing?

I legit don't know. Plebian did his best avoid making a witch hunt out of it.

Based Plebian.

What usually happens when people cheat at wargames, the TO tries to forget and but the players remember. Logan's soft-like pig shit, it would have been easy top cause a full-blowout but I guess that's a case for another day.

Sounds like a stand up dude.

ITS is alright, the need to use Specialists is needless model peddling. If mission object ctives could be accomplished by almost any model we'd see even more varied models hit the field.

t. Muttawiah

I actually agree that the de-emphasis on specialists in ITS 9 has increased list diversity.

>offer them transcendence
it has been heavily implied the EI will never figure out trascendence, only the first AI constructed by the Ur Rationalist did, and that was because it was unbound (unlike the EI which is shackled so it cannot betray the Ur Hegemony)
Aleph likely wants to find out more about the first AI constructed by the Ur Hegemony so it can ascend as well

They're fairly certain, however, that they can "ride the coattails" of another ascending entity to Nirvana. Hence their current projects.

I'm stuck on my next purchase. Xeodrone box or overdrone for my onyx force army. what are the pros and cons of each? can you guy help me pick? I wish both was an acceptable answer

That's good to know, when I met Carlos we chatted about Specialists hampering diversity. That and US Ariadna getting the operators from Predator (Dutch and the gang) as a release. Fingers crossed, I hope he makes that a reality some day.

Cheers!

You can buy all the cards digitally now for $10, but it should have happened way sooner.. Core rules are free now though.

Not so sure it's intentional model peddling, every box I've bought so far has specialists in it, I am collecting Aleph though, so their starter, support pack and posthumans has given me at least one of each specialist so far.

Do you have a Samaritan? If yes, I think you should get the Xeos. If no, get the Overdron.

I'd be down with that if CA got an equivalent "Predator" unit. Maybe a MI or HI camo Shas. With super-jump.

Fuck it, just port the old jumpy Exrah profile, but give it jungle terrain.

My local Ariadna players favourite trick is to provide a blank page as his courtesy list.

I do have a samaritan, is the samaritan the only makes the xeodrone batter than the overdrone?

i think the use of specialist in ITS 9 has reached a good point where you are not gimping your list to incorporate too many button pushers but you also have to balance bringing something other than heavy guns
At my LGS we have started to add hackable and engineerable scenery bits (blast doors, gravity generators which if destroyed by dick charges create 0G zones, neutral total reaction HMG which can be hacked to switch to one's side, etc...) and it really add a bit of an advantage to taking those troops. it needs to be balanced carefully not to break any mission and so that it doesn't add too much clutter (for example, we don't add anything to biotechvore since its already fast-paced and require no specialist anyway) but if done well it certainly add value to bringing specialist as well as variety

PanO can play that game too.

They both have different roles, it's just that the Xeos can only form a Haris w/ a Samaritan, and I think that's the most intuitive way to run them. Having a solo Xeo w/ Red Fury is ok too.

...and the reveal
