I think any of them can be the lieutenant… right? I dunno if that is recommended… 🙂 How were the regulars to put together Andy, pretty straightforward? I was surprised when I saw they weren’t one piece. Does anyone know the general tactics of how the Shock army plays?

I also really like how Corvus Belli has captured the “stalking through the jungle” feel in the dynamism of the Bagh-Mari. Very nice sculpts.

the Regulars go really easy two part models with really defined places to glue them.

Acontecimento is a refreshing escape from the usual PanOcenia play, they are an aggressive assault force.

But really I can’t be the only person on the planet who has no problem with the little helmet antennas, please somebody say it is so.

I have had no problem fitting small bits on the drones… Haven’t tried the antennas on anyone just yet, but I can’t imagine it’ll be too hard.
It all glues on fine, as long as you wash it first and remove all mold lines : In that respect, as well as in sculpt quality, the Infinity miniatures are unparalleled.

If I go Pan-O, this is definitely the way that I’d want to go. These, or the Knights.

Im a little confussed about the shotguns. I see they have a range as well as a number of shots per activation, but its a tear drop. Do they shoot the teardrop like the blastmarkers?

There’s a diagram somewhere in the rulebook. Essentially, they’re sort of hi-explosive shells rather than traditional buckshot-you roll to hit as with any other ranged weapon, and unless you went for AP (or any other than Normal) ammo, you place a template at the place of impact (front of the target model’s base) that is aimed in the direction of the shot (well, like you’d expect a shotgun spreak in a cone). As I said, it’s got a very nice diagram in the book 😉

Boarding shotguns have two modes of shooting. The tear drop with normal ammo or a burst of 2 with AP (armor piercing) ammo. Still short ranged though. But it’s high Strength makes it very good for it.
