Infinity General: Jade Empire shall rise -edition

Gentlecreatures! What does the "L" in "l-host" stand for? Also, what does "EVO" in "EVO hacking device" mean?

Thanks!

Yeah I think he's mocking the fact that ITS stats are somehow a way to validate removing a ton of units from even casual players. I agree though, what the fuck is all this "making room for a new sectorial" when PanO is getting their third this year with Varuna?

PanO is the most populous faction. Of course they're going to get the love from CB, they're the highest percentage of the player base.

It's because you were fielding them in Vanilla lists that they had their demise. This is all YOUR fault.

But in seriousness, there's a tiny chance that Shikami get to stay in Vanilla as they've got a small penchant to work both sides like Ninjas (and one's painted in YJ colors compared to the red JSA colors).

Small, hopelessly optimistic chance, but one nonetheless.

Otherwise the proxy rules have become even more lax and the Raiden can find some work as a Bao Troop, Bounty Hunter, Shang Ji, Wu Ming, Zuyong, Hac Tao or whatever. the shikami could similarly be a Daofei, Crane Rank, Hac Tao, or something.

The Glossary in Outrage assured me that the L in Lhost is for livehost, but you caught me with my pants down about what EVO stands for, it used to be a type of repeater.

Does it really matter? It could just be a meaningless acronym like SAT.

Confirmed that they lose everything but Ninja (ava 1).

>Confirmed that they lose everything but Ninja (ava 1).

Evidence?

I think it's the same as for Evo troops, which mean Evolved.

Bostria at Rumble seminar today

I heard what Bostria said in that one video. Until I see army builder, I don't believe it. He even gets some rules wrong in the game he's supposed to be a spokesman for, like thinking Fatality Level 1 had Level 2's effects, markers being the target of impetuous order, or another Demo game I caught. Plus that time with the Kamau mistakenly being shown MOV 4-2.

Fourth... We have Millitary Orders, NCA and ASA. So we might get Varuna too... I think they should have killed off one already :(.

Thanks!

>Does it really matter?
My players will ask, and I don't want to go derpface on them.

Although having Varuna would be nice, I do not mind the wait since we have the most sectorials. All of which are playable, despite some weaknesses that could be tweaked with some releases or profile changes.

What would you think would be Corvus Belli's April Fool's day prank?

My bet: announcing that the Imperial Service is declaring Secession from Yu Jing, turning into the Imperial Secessionists, or IS.

isn't asa suppose to be getting the ax with it exploding and all? its left overs will probably make another source of merc sectorial. Ragged jungle fighters, forgot by their home country. A mix of A team and Rambo:First Blood.

Being a monarchist myself, I am all in favor of a pro Emperor movment and anti party sentiments in the general population. I would be thrilled if it actually happened. And then we could have a double imperial wedding this year and a dire foes mission pack coming with it.

I seriously doubt that. They have resculpted, 6 bagh mari's, 3 Akali, a starter box, and the tikbalang. They're not going to throw that away a year later.

New stuff shown on a spanish event

I just bought the old support box. FUCK. I doubt this isn't replacing it.

The new de fersen

And a new haquislam unit

Most, not everything

>people think explodes means they're going to wipe out the faction
complete brainlets

it could easily be a metaphorical explosion of the line, or a planet explosion, or a faction event.
Literally anything

I'm glad I put off buying the Haqqislam support pack then. I imagine it's a Turkish unit from the name. I hope they also come with new engineers.

That, fuzzy....

Man, those helperbot seems dope

>buying old support box
You've fucked up mate

Looked on the Spanish forum. Apparently the there's a plan to get the Raicho a resculpt.

This looks like a new unit, so this isn't a replacement for the old support box is it?

Looks like Haqq gets another Akbar Doctor

The one way to get peace between the Japanese and Chinese would be for their royal families to intermarry and form an alliance.

Good pose and all, but the DeFersen sculpt was already pretty good, so I wonder if this was really necessary. I'd rather get a second Montesa or something.
Also, I always marvel at the quality of the pictures taken at these events. You'd think everybody and their dog has a decent camera in their phones nowadays.

Remember, these were Spaniards. Can't afford a good phone if you're unemployed.

I am from a country where explode still means the same thing it ment back in the days aka something explodes.

So, how's Caveman country?

Camera phones only look good on a 5.5 inch screen

>I can only think in straight literal terms.
>Whatdafug is a "Metafour"? That sounds complicated!
>Hang on let me stick my head back up my anus before you reply.
Was it autism?

It better literally explode. All this other crap is nonsense fae bullshit.

2 new seminars up, anyone got summaries?

That'd be some Romeo and Juliet shit, except at the end instead of realising their stupidity and making up, both families would double down and attempt genocide.

Is there a unit with a worse price to point ratio than hungries?

What you're describing is closer to how Romeo and Juliet actually shook out.

>nothing goes over my head
>my reflexes are too fast, I'd catch it

Do pilots count? Because stuff like Techbee+Crabbot is technically 5 points total.

Yeah probably. I barely remember it. That does seem a lot more realistic and fitting for a tragedy.

Mostly I just remember that Paris did literally nothing wrong. Am I misremembering that?

April Fool's [equivalent] is on Dec 28 in Spain.

>Mostly I just remember that Paris did literally nothing wrong. Am I misremembering that?

>Mostly I just remember that Paris did literally nothing wrong. Am I misremembering that?

Yeah. Paris acts like Juliet is already his wife when they're just engaged. This is the cause for some of the... troubles. Basically he oversteps his bounds.

Romeo slaying him basically makes him the villain.

The black dude, Meconium also did nothing wrong I recall.

>Romeo slaying him basically makes him the villain.

Romeo is meant to be an idiot though.

I really hope it's just a new medic + 1 nasmat, in a blister.

Should be. Hit me up for some kebab action when you come back.

The sectorial loses it's place in Army Builder, all the units find scattered remnants in other armies.

I might say Pupniks? You buy a 34 dollar box for four models, three of which are 1 point each.

At least I wouldn't put Hungries on the price to points ratio level of Kuang Shi (all chain rifles), or Netrods if they weren't balanced by the Sophotect.

TAG pilots? Technically free and you have to buy another much more expensive unit to field them.

Tech-Bee's also pretty close.

HVT's which are basically markers? They don't even have any points.

Or the optional stuff of like getting an remotes Box and only assembling them as 8 point ones.

They did an April Fool's day Article last year.

If there was a Rainbow Six Siege style game set in the Infinity universe, what would each factions Operators be? Whether you're just talking about role, capabilities or personality, figure it might be fun to come up with some bullshit about.

Wouldn't it just be a team of the various Spec-Ops units?

are we getting invincible army?

also my local area's got a big influx of new players, including me, so there's a lot of 200 point games going on. any tips for 200-point listbuilding?

EwBgjAPqIRYKRmAFnskx4EIFNezHRFNEADmzADZEBmATjXoFZKB2RdJmrVJD5LRDZaxGsmCisjMLUzI2wgAIqgA=

my current setup got reamed by ya boi tarik twice today. at least i learned enough that by the second game i kept him pinned till turn 3, and i know the mistakes i made to make that happen.

in addition to those guys i've got four shaolin, a yan huo, a su-jian, and a guilang.

i'm thinking bringing the shaolin in for smoke and more bodies would be a good idea, though it's also occurred to me that the su-jian might be a bitch to deal with at 200 points if i can fit him in without crippling myself at button-pushing

>are we getting invincible army?
Not as soon as we think....

But that's still "maybe", no ones are actually sure about it.

Not this year.

Threadly "what are you working on" post.

I'm almost done with a Dakini then I have to paint a couple of Nomads. I've got this Warcor as a side project for some reason I just can't motivate myself to fully concentrate on.

This has been what the CSU- I mean Warcor's have been saying since the runours started.
>"Don't worry, JSA will just get some more exclusive units"
>"You might lose the special characters"
>"You'll lose most JSA units, probably not all".
We're losing everything except one ninja, as they packaged one in Red Veil.

So looking to start the game and looking to start with the HYPER POWER that is PanO.

Can any good lads sum up their playstlye of them and their sectorials other then that they're shooty gods with godlike tags and HI?.

PanO doesn't do tricks or objectives, PanO only employs crushing force without fucking around. You'll have by far the best stats and will be able to outgun any army.

Vanilla or Sectorial? Suggestions will depend if you're playing PanO or one of the three subfactions.

Regardless, after you pick up a starter box, "Dronbots" will be the suggestion most people make, regardless of if you're playing vanilla or a sectorial. They might not "feel" like they're doing anything, but they provide cheap orders and can be effective speed bumps to mess with your enemy and are almost always a decent choice in whatever list you make.

>PanO doesn't do tricks or objectives
Yes they do, it's not just their forte.
Morats are the "subtle as a brick" faction.

How does say the shock army play differently from the military orders? Or say why would I choose neoterra over the rest?

Also what's with this whole "Varuna" business?

>suggesting crap models
I want WAAC slavs to go.

Shock Army is very aggressive and has the best snipers for ARO. You can deploy 2/3 of your halway up the board, you can have an army made out almost entirely of models with mimetism and you bring a lot of mines. The Tikbalang is one of the best tags, mostly because of said mimetism, you get Wip 14 hackers in nagas (you'll probably be taking KHD). Your army is a bit tight and getting 1-2 new units would greatly help with the variety of lists, but that means you will be able to play most of what they can play with only a few boxes.

Millitary orders feel like a completely different army. You basically have to bring a pain train of knights to rape your opponents order pool.

Nca have no good offensive links, sans bolts but they're not that amazing. They tend to reply on Swiss guards, hexas, auxilla and bulleteers. Fusilier links are taken most of the time. It's kind of like playing vanilla with a fusilier link.

ASA are the most unique. Only played with a Bagh Mari link and tikbalang. But their options are lower tech than the other sectorial. You get mines, minelayers. Regular Camo. Sappers. Msv 1s, eetc.

neo terra has fusilier links, but doesn't have nisse. aside for that it is very simiular to vanila.

Start with the icestorm/vanila starter, 2 pathfinder drone boxs, the support pack although it is really old and the fusilier swc box. avoid the beyond box like the plague. same with neo terra starter, it is old and has bolts in it and you will never use those. As blisters goes get an aquila hmg, a hexas to make the hacker out of him.

If you also get a croc man and a nisse hmg you will also have enought stuff to run a good vanila army too.

Bulleter drones are also a good unit in neo terra, to have but not a must have.

Hiyu Hai! Why are Kum Bikers so godlike

maximum penis size.
how good are the regulars, the sapper looks mighty fine.

Regulars are fine line troops. The key for them is loadouts: You don't get MLs or HMGs like Fusis, but instead get SWC Minelayers with Sensor, and the Sapper Sniper.
Personally, I like Bagh-Mari squads more, as they're a premier mid-cost link.

They really like direct firefights because they tend to win. Their specialists can be expensive and they don't have much crazy stuff in that department like Nomads or Haqq do, but they're good and tend to be able to handle themselves in a fight.

ASA really likes being aggressive and inhabiting the midfield, and has two excellent link team options. The smallest PanO sectorial, but also the tightest with a lot of versatility and choice.

MO is about taking a team of either Santiagos or Hospitallers (with some Magisters on the side) and ramming them down the opponent's throat. Everything else exists in service of this. It's really good at that one thing, but not so much other things.

NCA is usually like babby's first vanilla tourney list with the Nisse taken out and replaced with a defensive link team of Fusiliers. There's probably some cool shit they could do with their additional units and AVA changes, but I've never actually seen it done.

Regulars are fucking excellent. Sapper sniper is a standout, same goes for sensor. Be sure to check out both Regular and Bagh-Mari link teams, a lot of people start with one and fall in love with it so much that they think the other can't possibly be as good.

Does anyone ever take the minelayer? The 0.5 SWC in Acon is impossible to find.

this is my neo terra list, I played for a long time and had fun with it. I would like to point out though that, imo, vanila is a bit stronger

Dronbots aren't crap and Sierra is what stops the Pollack.

I don't get the pollack part, is it because they played ariadna and QK one edition ago? Because most Polaccos play ISS and some sort of Aleph/Toha

I'm pissed as fuck that I won't be able to use Domaru or Aragato in Vanilla Yu Jing (without an agreement otherwise). Id often run one or 2 of each and got into yu jing partly because of them. And fuck Corvus Belli for making me want the JSA pack.
Im probably gonna buy it and play JSA.
Am I a completely whipped customer? I wanna hate it but those models look dope. And I wanted an Oniwaban and better kotetsu anyway.

Attached is my Yu Jing list without the JSA units. I was already hurting for cheapish units to provide orders and this feels bad. Then again. I love basically every model in this list besides the REMs.
I also own the red veil tiger soldier but she couldnt find her way into the list.

I've seen outrage but nobody mourns Domaru. What the hell?! Domaru was basically the best part of JSA except maybe Shikami, and you CANNOT fit a shikami into any old list. Domaru was the most based close range pointman and cornerman ever and I regret his betrayal of Yu Jing. It was probably something a Hsien warrior did.

Attached: I'm Fucked.jpg (908x439, 138K)

Yo I'm in exactly the same situation as you. I'm asspained that I've only been playing for 3 months and Bostria and co decided to invalidate like 25% of my purchases. I've not even had a chance to use my oniwaban, and I bought the first Shikami when it was released.

I get that the community is split on it. But things change. I am happy the game is changing. I wish it happened to my army instead of yours... If I ever play a yj I am going to be 100% fine with them taking all of JSA if vanilla.

Domaru are unassuming. People see a CC-based unit with no obvious delivery methods and they move on. Aside from those already balls deep in jap vanilla, there aren't many willing to give them a chance. And for those of us that are, we're spoiled for choice when it comes to mourning units. I'll pour one out for Domaru, but I gotta get Raiden and Karakuri first.

As previous user mentioned, getting a sectorial removed to "make space" doesn't make any sense when PanO has a fourth on the way

And literally the Raiden with HRL is the new Ryuken Unit-9 profile, so really only the Spitfire and MSR will be missed.

Ryuken is JSA only. Yu Jing's not getting that thing.

>the Spitfire and MSR will be missed
Probably not desu

It does when you realize that they wanted Yu Jing to be a less attractive/fun faction than PanO.

It's the part where user suggests the newb to buy over decade old badly aged, fiddly models only for their game output.

I think you are bait.
I dont often say this, and im not the sort of man to say so often, But
Fuck you man. I bet you play PanO.

PanO rems look fine. It's not like they updated Auxbots with latest Sergeants and all PanO Rems share design with them.
Now Nomad Zonds look awful and I refuse to field them. I use Dronbots as proxies.

Can't wait to ERP this.

>PanO rems look fine
No.

Peacemakers and Bulleteers get a pass

Attached: 1512940402118.png (600x431, 331K)

Why?

Yu Jing hasn't become the de facto "Euros are better than everyone else" faction.

Varuna is next "sub-faction" which is going to be released soon

>bringing an E/M blade to a duel with a Crane Agent, I suppose such cowardice is to be expected from a filthy wokou
>w-why are you taking off your codpiece

I think they look fine. I'd want them to resculpt damn near everything before them.

Well, you're wrong.
