Thanks for the tips. Most of my models were hastily put together for a tournament and need to be taken apart and pinned.

IIRC CB said that there won't be any full-sized vehicles, maybe some quads for the new Ariadna sectorial or something. But nothing like 40k tanks.
I don't like the trend of growing models though. Just look at a typical old TAG (Squalo/Guijia) and a newer design (O-Yoroi/Raicho).

I don't think the larger TAGs are indicative of anything, just CB bringing them into scale with the rest of the line (seriously, where does the pilot go in the Szalamandra?). As for large based infantry, I think that those are going to remain a novelty and stay withing the factions that we already know are using them. Maybe a Praxis lab experiment. I doubt they would ever become common.

How is the Marut? I really want one.

The Marut is pretty awesome, but expensive. Strategos 3 makes it one of the best lieutenants in the game, though obvious. 6-4 mov msv2 hmg is a godsend when you need to deal with a moira link set to tear through your opposite flank. The main thing to remember is that it's a huge fire magnet that goes down to concentrated fire in the reactive turn, so hide it well. Adding a myrmidon that can draw the same fire lanes in the reactive turn and throw smoke on top of the marut is a great way to help keep it up.

Congratulations on finding the one time a Seraph is a good option :v:
TAG defense for trading with Pretas and an auxbot for taking down mines make it not terrible for this match up. And you get the added bonus of gloating about winning with the Saraph.

Magister Knights dodge templates on 11's or have 2 wounds for trading hits. Joan1 is pretty much as tanky as Achilles, and just as good of a shot. She also makes a pretty good honeypot as a probable lt option to bring the Pretas to her (don't make her lt). Sepulchre can play shell games with the pretas and get a free shot in. Finally, Hospitallers bring linked doctors. Linked doctors are amazing.

Yes! Yuan Yuan seem to be in Merc lists yet not so apparently useful as Kaplan, so I wonder what's their deal.

That's why I love that the update renegades and heretics (in 40K) still have random leadership.
The Haqqislam sectorial Qapu Khalqi can take Yuan Yuan as well as several Corregidor units, and fit the pirate/mercenary theme as well. If you are going with Vanilla Nomads, then Morlocks have metachemestry that allow them to roll for special abilities.

So, one of the points I was driving (but not clearly, as it often happens, sorry) was: are starter packs playable? At first I thought about getting us both 300pts armies, then I took a reality check on my finances and painting skills.
One thing to note is that starter packs are not balanced against each other, so I'd recommend coming back here when you pick out the two factions you want to get, and we can help you pick out balanced lists to start with.

Also, both PanO and Yu Jing do the basic assault thing very well if your gf preferred the looks of one of those.

Are you going to the OKC tourney? Ryan will let you use his stuff, and he has most, if not all of the Morat stuff, and enough for you to proxy what ever else. You should be prepared to deal with at least one mass camo list. As for Tohaa, the best way to deal with them is bullets, trying to burn them is rarely worth the cost.

I really don't like your objective list, it feels to schizophrenic and doesn't really have anything to deal with camo. Doctor Worm and Mk12 Kugarat are mvps as far as non linked specialists go; worm for his speed and classifieds, and the Kugarat is a one man specialist army.

I made these assuming you want to use the Raicho. I upgraded the Raicho to the HGL because it's a mortar that can speculative fire accross most of the board at BS12, and "downgraded" the Yaogat to a spitfire to make room for it. Switched the Sogarat lt to HMG because I like the gun better (burst is the most important stat). The game plan is pretty strait forward, shoot with big guns, make sure your expensive units are in different zones.
First list keeps the Ikadrons to use their bagage for an extra 20 pts to contest zones with and switches the Oznat for a Dat and R-Drone for orders. Second uses P.Nasty's suggestion and switched Ikadrons for Pretas. Forward observer was switched to a Kugarat to take up extra points and to provide more murder.

e: If you are in the OKC tourney, I am not playing in it, so don't worry about me knowing your lists.

The main gun on Raicho is way too large and looks like poo poo, I'm thinking of replacing it with a 4-barrel minigun from Bitspudlo I scored at the tourney, belt-fed from a big ammo bin on the back. Good idea? Bad idea? Should I make it a twin-linked minigun instead for ridiculous Morat firepower like it has in the fluff or will it look overdone and stupid (it's "space marines devastator heavy weapon" sized)?

Mockup to scale:



I kinda like the stubbyness to it, but the gun barrels might be too small for the model. The two miniguns look fairly 40k right next to each other like that. could you try spreading them out, like one at the top and another at the bottom?
You could also try adding a third minigun in a triangle array similar to Kos-Mos in Xenosaga. That might be too much gun for a b4 hmg though.
The ammo belt/backmount should look great. It'll just be a butt to do.

And give my congratulations to the people who coordinated 182 people. That is amazing.

RE Raicho conversion: I might have been just looking for 40K comparisons and saw that, so that could have just been me. Subjectivity or something.

PanO chat: With the 3rd edition dropping in like a month, it would be good to just learn with O:I and wait and see what all changes with the rules update, or get whatever models are in your have to have list. Ignoring my own advice though, I will add that Auxilia are my favorite vanilla PanO specialists for the current ITS.
For MO, I will just add that Hospitaller links with a doc and HMG are hilariously good at holding a point, and they can take objectives in ITS. I've seen a Qapu Khalqi player dominate with something similar, and, considering the upgrades that Hospitallers should be getting in N3, they will only become more fun. Another cost effective link is with Magister Knights, though they lose out on the specialist option.

Tohaa: Get the Ectros HMG. That unit is the centerpiece of the entire army. One of the lesser discussed parts of the Tohaa army is how good they are on defense. their multitude of links give even their basic troops solid reactive fire. Nikoul and the HMG Chaksa are super effective area denial pieces that burn several of your opponents orders as they try to deal with them.

All of that requires orders as well as getting models that can do that stuff to the target.

A Squalo can just walk up 6 inches, and shoot 9 times with a heavy grenade launcher at anything on the board. If their dice are hot they can theoretically kill 9 models before the other player gets a turn and there is nothing they can do about it other than make -3 dodge rolls.

I don't know if it will be effective at winning games, but it seems like it will be hyper effective at making people never play again.

The HGL lost its +3 range, so it will be nowhere near as effective as it was. Also the second player can use a comand token to remove two orders from the Squalo.
So, assuming the second player deploys in a way to allow the Squalo to move into position, it can move up and fire 7 shots.
It's hitting on 9s, so on average it will only hit about 3 of those, hitting probably around 4-6 models.
Between passing dodges and armor saves, and units that have multiple wounds, that would result in about 2-3 kills.

So you are trading a turn and over extending your Squalo for a couple of kills. Now if you brought a pathfinder remote on the other hand...

Pierzak (and our vanilla CA players by extension), whats your view on the Unidron Batroids mate?

My buddy is picking up the game with Combined and the new starter and wanted to know how they stood up to the faction competition for LI. My opinion on CA isn't the most informed (I know the basics) but to me they look pretty respectable. Some average stats, bit low on the PH but have good weapon load outs as REMs. BTS value is nice against hacking and special weapons and V: Dogged is nice. If I'm reading the G: Autotool rule correctly that seems pretty nifty.

He's a fairly competitively minded player (we both play WMH together in tournaments) so he's trying to rate them vs the Morats as what to focus on when expanding.

Ikadrons :v:

By expanding do you mean going into Morat sectorial vs. future E.I. sectorial vs staying vanilla?
I will venture that vanilla and the E.I. sectorial will be "more competitive" than Morats by virtue of options. Obviously this all comes with the caveat that anything will be competitive.

If you are just looking for line troopers to use in vanilla, then the two fulfill different roles.

After Ikadrons, Vanguard are the best at sitting in your dz and providing orders. With dodging becoming the catch all defensive option, Morats increased PH makes them a lot more survivable against standard chaff killers like templates. Add to that coordinated suppression locking down your dz, and the Morat rule having them give a regular order as long as they stand, and you got one of the best, if at a premium, dz camper.

On the other hand Unidrons are terrible at those things. Being REMs at PH 10 means that they aren't dodging poo poo. They also pay a premium for any weapon that can provide suppressive fire. What they provide instead are a suite of interesting options on the cheap, especially combined with hacker programs. Corbeau already mentioned PSR + B2 aros. you can also give marksmanship2 to the K1 combi and deny your opponent any armor. Plasma carbines are still scary on their own.

Also don't forget seed soldiers should get cheaper, so they may be worth taking just for sitting in your dz. Datz are really good either way still.

I wanted to like Sekbans so much for my Qapu, but there's so many other linkable/Haris troops in that sectorial I'll reach for first. :smith:

Actually Sekbans were really good for QK in N2. Running two links with doctors and long range weaponry in QK was amazing. Once they made it too the midfield, you could lock your opponent down hard, and it was almost impossible for them to make any progress against you. Doctor links in general were vastly underused in N2, and are only getting better, especially in Haqqislam.

Mission 1: 3 line troopers w/ combis per side in an annihilation mission. No lieutenants or retreat. Simple symmetrical terrain.

Mission 2: Add an HI lieutenant w/ combi to both sides. Annihilation with bonus points for killing lieutenants. Still no retreat, but obviously added in lieutenants with all relating rules(these hold the same for the rest of the missions).

Mission 3: Add in camo/infiltrator/AD/forward assault unit w/ combi to both sides. Strait annihilation mission. Same no retreat and lieutenant rules as last mission.

Mission 4: Add in visored overwatch/counter to the assault unit with a (regular) sniper rifle. Annihilation with bonus for killing each of the assault unit and sniper.

Mission 5: Add in a unit with a unique skill and combi to each side. Mission is control central building (have only living unit on top of it) with bonus point per enemy unit killed.

Hi guys sorry I asked this before but just want to check - where/how should I get markers for things like cover, prone, etc.? I was going to use beads for orders so I don't have to buy or cut out a score of little paper circles.

Note that you can also print out markers from the downloads section of the main site and laminate them or whatever.

Anything in particular to keep in mind while assembling and painting the minis? Not touched metal minis since 3ed 40k so fully expecting to balls them up to some extent.

Biggest thing is to wash the mold release off of them before anything else. You can just use soap + warm water and a toothbrush.

Dr. Worm! :argh:

Or if you kill their Lt. in an ITS game, Lt. Dr. Worm with 15 WIP! :bang:

Do note that mnemonica+wip can be transferred from non lieutenants. So when you kill that Anathematic that has been going through your army with a sepsitor, your just boosting their specialists.
