So, the last game I played I had a ridiculously fun time with climbing in order to get on top of buildings for advantages in firing. I repeatedly failed and almost killed myself trying to climb structures then discovered I could climb ladders etc, without having to make a phys check. That gambled paid off as my lowly ghulam gunned down 3 enemies from his snipers roost atop the water tower!

Then I learned that some models actually get super anime jumping abilities, or can climb any surface without having to check phy and can even shoot while hanging on. Awesome!

Anyone have any cool tactics or stories to share using these kind of risky yet cinematic tactics?

For haqqs there's the Kuwari, i can't remember how to spell it. they have super jump. I have a few aliens with it too. They can even jump from behind cover, shoot, and then fall back down out of sight. Some Nomad remotes have the Climbing ability too. Not only are they fast but they do it up the side of a wall!

-Haqqislam has the Khawarij as a 4-4 MOV Superjump LI.
-Also has Khawarij special character Tarik Mansuri as a 6-4 MOV Khawarij, a motherfacka that works more like a Superjump superfast HI than LI because he has 2 Wounds and ARM 3.
-And the icing on the cake is the Hassassin Lasiq, how cool is a MI Climbing Plus deadly sniper?

Other factions:

-PanO has special character TAG Tikbalang, Tony Macayana, TAG with Climbing Plus (insane )

-YuJIng has Sù Jiàn, ultramobile HI with Climbing Plus.

-Ariadna has, Dogwarriors and Cameronians and special character Duroc as deadly tough werewolves with Superjump.
Antipode Mob Pack a uberfast overwhelming Superjumping camo alien wolves mob pack.
And Cateran, a cheap hard hitting Climbing Plus sniper with a Kilt and supposedly no underwear... (hey, blame Scottish for having such dressing bad tastes). Now seriously, who's insane enough to go climbing with a skirt and no underwear?

-Nomads have ton of fun spiderman stuff to play with:
Zond series REMs Stempler, Reaktion, all of them have Climbing Plus.
Sputnik series REMs Tsyklon and Lunkhod, enjoy Climbing Plus too.
Tomcats, DA lvl 2 LI with Climbing Plus
Last but not least Bakunin UberfallKommando, ultra deadly motherfacka warband where the Chimera and its Pupniks have Climbing Plus.
And the icing on the Nomad cake: special triple Zero character BrandoCastro, the real spiderman like ninja of the game, a camo guy with Climbing Plus and Superjump, he's truly a monkey man, the Monkey King.

-Combined Army has the humanoid bug like Exrah race: Iskaller, Vector and Void Operator; all 6-2 MOV alien MIs with Superjump.

-Aleph has the Daleth and Zaiyin REMs with Climbing plus, the equivalent of Nomad Stempler and Reaktion.

Hassassin lasiq with viral rifle sounds like the way to go.
