    I enjoy Infinity's list-building. It's elegant and challenging with a wide variety of different options. As far as 'safe' recommendations, having some armor-piercing bullets and a MSV (for people who...

    The easiest way to learn Infinity is to watch some of the game tutorial videos on Youtube. Operation Icestorm also has some really great 'learning scenarios' that walk you slowly up to more complex...

    Yes, you probably could, but then that gets into the issue of summoning extra wounds onto the battlefield. If you're forced to take X amount of regular line infantry in the list-building phase, and...

    Yeah but then you've got an equivalence between things like clan rats and white lions or executioners.

    It's not really luck on saves so much as how steep saves are now, with FNP or equivalent being common on MEQ (and DE have no good way to punch through 3+ anyway). Dark Eldar guns really weren't...

    Short answer: there isn't one.

    Scourges and Trueborn can do the trick if you equip them with blasters... but that's really expensive and squishy just to kill MEQ. You can potentially run Pain...

    The only time when bulk shopping is really effective, is if you can find a decent bulk lot on Ebay for substantially under retail with either naked plastic, black or white primer, or a paint scheme...

    I agree with Haten, Dark Reapers definitely don't need a transport to get into range and in fact leaving them in Reserves is counter-productive. They do just fine with some elevation. Multiple squads...

    Wraithguard and Windriders are all the rage right now. But saying 'do whatever' isn't very helpful so here's a core, basic list using the Eldar Warhost from the new book and a run down of what...

    Yeah, new Hacking in 3rd is just brutal. Hacking Device Plus and Assault Hacking are easily some of the best assets in the game. Combined with an EVO Repeater? Whew.

    Ah, it's prone and cautious move that I'm thinking of. Got the Vehicle and TAG rules confused, goes to show I don't use either. My mistake.

    The thing about Infinity is that the core rules and assumptions the game makes are more important than an individual model's 'power level'. This is based on the fact that weapons are dangerous to...

    Or resorting to ad hominem attacks is tasteless and insulting. Keep it classy, dude.
