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.

After three Dakini I think I've pinned down my OSS colour scheme. There'll also be a bit of dark-mid blue and some yellow-green to blue-green for cloth as appropriate.

Basing-wise I've used the micro arts card bases for my Aleph, with some scattered Vallejo lava texture paste to roughen it a bit. My older Haqqislam use horticultural grit / "sharp sand" to get a rocky desert effect, and I've tried to go for similar to the studio alien-landscape scheme for my Tohaa - used plastic putty sculpted in 'waves', then used more of the texture paste that gets painted a fluorescent turquoise for some kind of alien lichen/moss. Nothing too extravagent; I worry about the strength of the join with the base for metal models.

Have started painting Infinity again after nearly a year, due to finally finding somewhere to play (and lose, but not expecting any better for a while :-P ). Limited Druze Hacker, that I'll be fielding as a Monstrucker or Wardriver for Spiral.

Under 15 posted:there is a rumor in my corner of the human sphere that new Bioimmunity is like Total Immunity junior in that you can use your ARM or BTS to save, which makes the prowler go from "whatever" to eye-popping I think I'd prefer if bio/total immunity was either the ARM or BTS or 'ignore the effects of the ammo type' rather than both at the same time - wasn't that always an interim attempt to fix the mess of the immunity/ammo type interactions?

MJ12 posted:It also appears that Symbiont Armor no longer has a fire vulnerability in the army builder, which isn't a really huge buff but it is kind of nice when facing folks with lots of flamethrowers. As pointed out; Fire isn't a thing anymore. So Symbiont armor is just Transmutation(W). They do lose the +3 PHY when you try to heal them though, so swings and roundabouts.

fatherboxx posted:"Cover from a fire hydrant" imo is ok (speeds up, prevents arguments), but high ground cover rules are just a big joke I kind of agree with you with the high ground rules; although that feels like an omission rather than a ruling thusfar. 2 models in reserve is only if your LT has Strategos, though, and wasn't that always the case for one of the levels? Had my first game (and first TTS game) last week and it felt a bit quicker and a lot smoother than N3 (not that I had that much experience actually playing any previous edition). I wonder if some of the fragility comes from the fact that many units have become a touch more powerful or more interesting with the N4 changes? But our game was only called at the bottom of turn 2 as we were playing Supplies (as per the N4 book, not ITS) and my opponent wasn't going to be able to grab a box in his third turn as I'd taken out or pinned down all his specialists.

(Am LazyAngel on the HATE discord as well, if you're on it, although my screen name is different). I've got my second game of N4 tomorrow, first game of the league but fortunately neither of us really knows what we're doing.

Flipswitch posted:Infinity SOP. Well my first game, both of N4 and TTS was against one of the veteran players (using a trysoft Druze list) who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the rules, which probably made me a bit lazy :-P But spent a couple of days list-building Spiral Corps, including some shitlisting (Nobody here but us Chaksas, Totally Normal Human Mercenary Company) which helps bed in the changes. EDIT: The aforementioned Totally Normal Human Mercenary Company, motto: "Hello Fellow Humans!", can be found with Army code g4oMc3BpcmFsLWNvcnBzFiBUb3RhbGx5IE5vcm1hbCBIdW1hbnOAyAEBCQCD2wEBAACD2wEBAACD2wEHAACFGAEFAACFGAEEAACBLAEBAACD2wEGAACCjAEFAACExgEIAA== LazyAngel fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Oct 23, 2020 |

Arg, list-building is hard. Have a 200pt Annihilation game with my Spiral against Vanilla Combined. And I've got no idea which way my opponent's list is going to lean :-P Do I go for conventional, or give into temptation and try out either the Longarm Haris, or Kiel-saan And Friends (being 2 Kaauri Paramedics for a cheap triad)?

Genghis Cohen posted:Lol, Andy is a top-rate player. Good luck to him, but I think it's difficult to play down in a fair way. You tend to alternate between doing the smart moves to build up advantage, then throwing it away to keep the game even, which gives the newer player some pretty lessons! Fortunately he wasn’t needed as an unknown ranger this round 😊. Managed a 10-0 in my game, mostly due to a sniper duel that defied and decent probability and tilted my opponent into wasting too many orders.

DJ Dizzy posted:What's the verdict on N4? Early days yet, but so far there's been far less of the CB ambiguity to deal with. Feels a lot easier to keep track of skill/equipment, and most statlines have become more effective or cheaper, or just more interesting. Only had two games so far, but feels quite a bit quicker, despite our unfamiliarity with the new rules.

Had my first live game in two years down at HATE yesterday. Annihilation, my Spiral Corps, vs a Szally/Gecko nomad list. Ended in a 5-5 draw purely because I miss-handled a Rasail Lt, and he managed to kill my Doctors. All this whilst my most effective source of AP was a Tri-cored Draal with an AP marksman rifle, which made things a bit hairy. Managed to drop his Szally on turn 2 (1 STR lost to a below rocket, then 4(!) to a Draal burst and horrific armour roles. His Gecko did a bit more damage, but ended up in a gun dual with my Kumotail that took him around 3 orders to drop, then a bad encounter with a Chaksa’s flamethrower. Then my Igao went out to play (as we discovered you can mirrorball without LoF) and left him with 45 points left on the table to my 140.
