Not a viking posted:What do you mean? You can place a mine in your active turn wherever and whenever you like. It's a short order skill and doesn't require a target. Placing a mine is an attack and mines do not have Targetless trait. Drop Bears in throwing mode do have it, so you can create minefield with non-camo mines with Bolts and Locusts. fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Apr 20, 2018 |

fatherboxx posted:Placing a mine is an attack and mines do not have Targetless trait. Doesn't the fact that it's Deployable, and hence has to be placed in base contact with the deploying model override the lack of a target? ED: Actually think it's the fact that although it's an Attack, Attacks in general don't require a Target - I believe that's more a requirement of the BS Attack skill specifically. Drop bears in throwing mode require it in order to be thrown without a specific target, but if you're deploying a deployable weapon, you don't need one.

Mines are Deployable though, which means they can be placed wherever on a non-vertical surface and have their own profile. Just because it's an Attack doesn't mean it requires LoF to an enemy. E: beaten because I doubted myself and spent 10 min reading the rules. Welcome to Infinity!

Sir Teabag posted:Lists I don't have much to say about your other lists, but I did want to comment on your drop troop list. So, I'm on the record as being improbably pro-Tomcat. I think they're great specialists with a great toolset, and they can murder things decently enough. Taking two Tomcats is great, because you've got a backup, and unless you regularly play me, you wouldn't assume anyone is dumb enough to take two Tomcats, so the second one tends to catch folks by surprise. That said, I don't really like Hellcats. They're fragile and they don't murder things hard enough to justify their point cost. I would be delighted to be proven wrong, because they're fantastic models, but the profile just doesn't do a lot for me. All that being said, I'd run it because ain't nobody gonna expect you to blow four orders in a Corregidor list on drop troops. Do it and let me know how it goes.

The mine skill is pretty clear, you can put it wherever in active. In ARO, you can only do it if you see an enemy, to prevent people from making GBS threads out their mines too quickly.

TheFinalTuba posted:Wait I'm confused. Where did we land on this? They do or don't need a target? It's just weird enough to make it hard to remember. So, they don't need a target. However, they can't be placed if there's an enemy cameo marker in the go-boom radius, unless it's as an intuitive attack. Full rules are here.

Charontids are a nightmare at low points. Just wasn't game to go anywhere near the dude and he wandered around with impunity. Just some prep for slow grow league, running my 200pts of USAriadna vs mates Combined Army. Took what we had painted to get a feel for the lists. I really liked having access to a fireteam, but don't feel like I was all that effective with it. Kazak Spetsnaz seem wayyyyyy better than minutemen too. Early days, gonna play around with both, and I'm not adverse to throwing in other models to count as.

And for what it's worth the spetsnaz is probably one of the best active turn murdering pieces in the game, so that's a rough comparison.

Kerr-Nau is pretty great in a fireteam, with Tinbots, SSL2 and his great stats, he's really good against other hackers. Especially if you shoot them with the plasma rifle. bang bang bang

Feeling too lazy to rehost the pics, but somewhere CB showed what the starter set for Tunguska is going to consist of, along with renders of all but one of the models. It is a Kriza Boracs w/ Spitfire, 3 Securitate, Hecklers hacker, and a Hallow Man with multi rifle.

Yah, and there's no spitfire profile at the moment. Mk12 I could understand, but that sculpt is definately an hmg. I'm surprised they didn't show a heckler sculpt, and that the hollow man has a foot of for a 40mm base..

My buddies and I tried this version of Infinity vs the Undead. It's co-op, you get 100 points with all the standard restrictions. I think max three man link teams. It was a good time, and started to get really tense when the Undead start to surround and enter the center room.

For those curious about Wu Ming in Ikari, they're deserters who signed on with Ikari and i assume they simply copied the armour suits.

Wu Ming are a prison regiment promised freedom when their tour of duty is finished; I guess a few of them took issue with their deployment duration listed as 'indefinite'. Also explains why Zhangying can be part of their fireteams, gotta keep those criminal scum on a tight leash. :fascism101:

Got told of some news coming very soon and oh boy   --- meanwhile due to a bigger local group sniping the tournament date, we failed at organising an event yesterday and I got to practice more with ISS while my buddy tried out Ikari for the first time. MSV brawler in a core link is a total bastard - due to a deployment mistake, he saw a bit of my prone Hsien-Zhanying fireteam, so I couldn't throw a nimbus, throw Assisted fire on a TRbot/Rushi or even change the firing position. Everyone was outranged, Rui Shi couldn't move due to tons of terrain and it was Looting and Sabotage so without getting D-Charges to the objective I couldn't do anything. Losing the game before your opponent even makes one move is loving embarassing. Second game was Biotechvore against his Wu Ming list - and while that fireteam is scary, especially with a buffed Clipper, that bastard mission hit him hard - he needed to switch the core team to Keisotsu/Tanko/Brawler group to move them out and with cut token use, he got stuck with them. And then, it was his turn to fail eyeballing - Biotech wave ate his Brawler LT and core team leader, leaving everyone on the table without bonuses. Meanwhile, ISS feels at home in Biotechvore because high BTS on most troopers helps a ton. I was free to do some narrative fighting, drowning the freedom-seeking Wu Mings in linked Kuang Shi chain rifles and five dice from angry Hsien. The game ended quite cinematically with a lone Kuang Shi cleaning house and shooting the very last deserter in the back with his mighty pistol  About Ikari. I think playing around the Wu Ming has some potential - a lot of orders to support the pain train, and Desperados do great legwork (2 Assault Pistols ARE scary). But imitating JSA with heavy defense fireteam of Tankos and/or Brawlers - I dunno, JSA can fit a lot of bullies in such list, but here, I don't see the same level of agression. Yuan Yuans are no Oniwabans and they are easier to counter. Ninja is a kickass specialist and Bashi can try to push buttons in a smoke-covered field, but eh. Would like to play against them again and see if they have anything to their name aside from very fragile links.

Played a 250 point game yesterday and my Fusilier ML ARO fired twice at a Morlock, missing him but obliterating Emily Handleman and two Moderators. Several orders later he's like, do I even have a Morlock in this list? He didn't.
