Norrad Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Need ideas... this time it's colors. I want to start painting but I'm not sure on the colors I want to use. I really like the studio scheme for ISS with a jade green for the cloth but am not sure about the Orange. I really like red white and black but those are the colors of the Japanese Sectorial army and Jay has used those colors already. Hmmmm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you're looking for an official alternative scheme, the Shen Ce one is very striking and involves the jade you want. Note: these are not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray (blue tone with white hight lights) in the greaves and holsters. Jade as the standout color for the tech glow, tabards, etc.....

Norrad Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm not sure about the Zanying Imperial agent. He felt out of place and as if he had no purpose in the list. The rest of the models had a task but he just milled about. What can I change in this list to make it better or what can I swap the agent for?

Norrad Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 So on Sunday evening after our battles were completed we had a discussion on ISS lists with Wu Ming. One of the ideas was max Panzerfausts. Here is my concept off of our discussion. What do you think? Imperial Service ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 9 1 ZHÀNYING Lieutenant HMG / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1 | 30)WÚ MÍNG Panzerfaust, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife.

Raindog Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Darron, The Zhanying in your first list is a great unit. First, he is a board control / area denial piece. The model does not really have to do much to annoy the enemy! He can move up and set his mad traps, so they prevent opponents from easily moving into a space. Second, he has nimbus grenades! He can lay down a shield of no viz zone to protect your cat, kuang shi, or to get your models into close combat. Finally, he has sensor! He can reveal pesky camo tokens and the models cannot hid in his zone of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Don't forget the Breaker Combi! Breaker ammo functions like AP, but for BTS. -MOST- things in the game will have a lower BTS than their armor, and in the case of Ariadna (and a good bit of Haqq) will have 0 BTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's unfortunate that you can't run a straight swap for the Zhanying to be a hacker by giving the Kanren a KHD instead (you're one point off for that). I'd suggest giving the Zhanying hacker a try as you really, really want Supportware as an option if you're going to run the Rui Shi and, with Sixth Sense lvl2. the Zhanying makes a pretty excellent backfield hacker (also the Bioimmunity makes him immune to Shock from Trinity which is super nice). I'd probably swap the Kanren down to the MadTraps version as he's a better midfield piece anyway and take the Zhanying as a backfield hacker to support the Rui Shi and protect from flankers (who coincidentally tend to have garbage BTS for that Breaker Combi). Also keep in mind that the Zhanying hacker comes with D-Charges as well which gives you an additional mission objective that he can fulfill that the list normally can't. As for the pain train, I have a regular opponent who runs that quite a bit. In fact, we played a 200 pts game last night in which he brought a similar link. Overall I find the link pretty lackluster, but that's probably just because of the lists I run. The Panzerfaust pain train is good as an alpha strike option, but falls behind in shot saturation due to the reload mechanic. I'd be wary of any opponent targeting you from outside the 32" sweet spot everybody there has or just "piece trading" for your limited shots with skirmishers/warbands. I'm also not enthused about having the Zhanying Lt. have the main gun for the group, but I also had a hard time fitting in a lieutenant without him so I guess it'll have to do.

Norrad Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hey what do you know, I read the box that they came in. It says right there in English no less that these are Mad Traps.

Ogre Seth Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 You did a very good job. That Kuang Shi color scheme looks great! Leave it to a camera zoom to exaggerate what the eye is not going to see anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks, I will work on him some more to try and soften up some of the harsher highlights if I can see them with my eye.The one thing that you cannot see from the angle of the photo is the blue sheen on the gun. It looks good. I started blocking out the colors on the rest of my force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
