You better Matt, we've gotta get into this game. I'm assembling my Combined now and I think I have Saturday the 9th free to start playing. There isn't much flash, and the mold lines are few. Mainly it's some fiddly, tiny parts that take a while for me to glue.

Thanks nsc. That helps alot. I will probably pick up the books at some point but those pdfs and the program work great.
Im liking the assault corp and the celestials army you said. I think ill pick up the assault corp next time im at nexus
Edit: wow looking art the assault troops profiles i can see why you say they can be very tough and do a lot of damage, they have some great weapons, good armour and 2 wounds each

Ooooh, what models you running? I bought the models for the suggested starting 300 pt army shown here: www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/catalogo/listasimg/Euro/ECeuroList.jpgThat's what I'm assembling right now. Additionally, I picked up the Shasvastii Sectoral, the Corax Spec-ops (awesome model), a Skiavoros and an Aswuangus. I really like the mix of styles for a general combined army, and the Shasvastii in particular.

Whelp, glad to see people are picking it up. Seeing as people still have to get some games in we'll be putting off the campaign and just playing some games so people get used to what they're playing as well as all the rules. Oh the topic of hackers though, if you do have one available to you and you know your opponent fields tags and HI they can be quite useful for shutting them down. Of course this is assuming that they're good hackers.

Also, remember months ago when you weren't sure if a HI or TAG moving within a hacker's ZoC generates an ARO that can be used to offensively hack? They do Hackers are sweet. Yeah that 300 CA starter list is pretty good, the only thing is a lot of people online warn new CA players to avoid the speculo since if you start playing with it you can develop a really bad playstyle where you rely on the speculo to gimp their army. It's powerful, it's sweet, the impersonator rules are slick, but it's baller it's sweet and it's like learning how to run before you can walk. Of course I haven't played with it yet (I too picked up the Corax Spec-Ops and plan to run her as a speculo killer) and yes the Shasvastii have some really cool options. Seed soldiers are strange and really really cool. I just love how they decided to make the aliens REALLY REALLY alien with all their special rules and units.

I'll switch out the Speculo Killer for probably a pair of Seed-Soldiers giving me an even 10 models in my force. I realized the Combined army might be a little weird, but I liked the style slightly (very slightly) more than Nomads.
I'll probably even be around this Saturday for a game. Matt let me know if you're coming down and I'll bring your Frenchmen.

Nexus has the micro art studio templates, we've been using printed out ones because the templates are really expensive.
You can also find printer friendly templates for book 1 and 2 (so no campaign markers) on dakka dakka if you want to print out and save ink.
I personally really like the minimalist design the printer friendly templates offer.

I picked up my assault corps last night, they look pretty cool. i might just proxy until i get them painted rather then putting them together and using them. I ended up buying the templates cause then looked nice and they were a little pricy but i thought well its more money to nexus so

Yeah but you could've spent that template money on more models!
More models + still money for nexus!

Friday afternoons are generally better for me than Friday evenings or Saturdays.
