Infinity: Human Sphere N3 Week – Tohaa Pheroware Tactics
March 31, 2016 by dignity
We continue our exploration of the new rules from Human Sphere N3 for Infinity with a discussion on the uses of Pheroware and how you might employ it tactically in the field.
This is something that you might be using with your organic creatures within the world of Infinity so it's something a little different from the norm.
Follow Human Sphere N3 Week
What do you make of your tactical options now commander?

































He always apologise for his accent. Do you guys make fun of it at the studio or something? 🙁
Some people are very self-conscious about their accents when speaking a different language. I had the same issues when speaking Spanish for the longest time, even after multiple native speakers complimenting me on it.
I remember watching a few batreps on here with him in it, and people slammed him for the accent.
I honestly hope that isn’t it, but I suspect as much.
For what its worth, Ive never had any trouble understanding him!
Many English native speakers have no shame making silly comments about the accent of someone whose native language is not English. They don t understand how offensive that is because they have never learned a second language themselves. I experience this a lot in my life in Australia.
Carlos’ english i great. Plus I like the accent. It is the distinctive voice of Infinity and he always has something insightful to say about game design. I wish my Spanish was half as good as his english.
Agreed. And he is clearly so enthusiastic for the game. His love for it really shines through.
It may be partly to do with the fact that a lot of people (especially in the UK) don’t have much interaction with people who aren’t native English speakers. I grew up in London, so different accents don’t pose much issue for me, but my partner who’s from the North West of England finds him really difficult to understand and complains that he speaks too fast.
I love the Tohaa design! They are probably the next faction I am going to pick up. It’s also great that they have their own special rules.
He always apologises for his accent. Do you guys make fun of it at the studio or something? 🙁
Damn your cute pokeman you filthy artichokes!
Shadows of the Empire.
Death by cuteness!!!^^ I love the toa design but i cant have any more factions….><
Pokemon inmunity for 1 order ufff
Alien hacking….
I’ve always wanted to build a Tohaa.
Pokemon!! LOL
I wonder if the bomb one could be painted to look radioactive?
This is what I’ve been waiting for, great video. Now for Aleph.
I love your accent Carlos!
I already experimented pheroware stuff and it’s very powerful, Especially “endgame”. You have to choose between shoot or reset and it’ very disappointing if the tohaa player play it fine.
Really Seems
Like the “Excuse my accent” is a Running gag here. Carlos’s english is totally Fine xD
my friend just started Tohaa. he’ll like this
And what a buff again for tohaa
Pokemooons!
I am just as excited for H3 and I was for N3
this will be interesting to go against
I’d have to paint me a Pikachu!
Simbiomate I chose you! Now eat the missile!
Tohaahahahahahahahaha! We are indestructible!
Good improvement for the tohaa army
It would be good to see some of these tactics used in a battle report
Not the biggest fan of Tohaa, but I do like these. 😀
Wonder if the CA would have access to those in the (distant?) future?
Oh man, Pokemons for Tohaa
I love Carlos’s accent. Best thing about these videos.
Carlos your accent is great! It makes what you are saying way more interesting.
one more time dissapointed with simbiont armor for gorgos, still losing 3W in a failed light flamer save……
Tohaa sure do get a lot of nice toys in Human sphere.
this faction reminds me of pokemon, cute but not my cup of tea
More “phacking” options! Great!
Smelly Tohaa, I’ll have to give this a watch…knowing is half the battle right
Is the Symbiomate a little OP? That seems extreme.
-insert comment to have a chance to win prices-
😀 Not sure what I can say, I play PanO, no one in my group plays Tohaa. I’m just really hoping for that Onyx box. 🙂
Nothing like a rollie pollie alien bunny to ruin your day! I may have to start a Tohaa army.
great to see that the aliens play different
There are so many nice ways to use those symbiomates.
Nice news for Tohaa Players
Nice mechanics!! Love the fact that some armys are very different from others!!
Pheroware tactics are starting to look really nice.
Human Sphere sound so awesome! Can’t wait to play!
This is really exciting stuff! I always use the kaeltar with chain of command as I run a spitfire rasail as my lieutenant almost always and the symbio mates give her great durability. This allows her to play super aggressive and not have to worry about going down. Haven’t play with the symbio bombs yet but now with the new healing capabilities I may have to give them a shot. Thanks for the great videos. Cheers!
Dammit now I want these as well
These look like they will be a fun addition. Going to have to try some of them with a Gorgos.
The all remote list is starting to look really good. 🙂
I’m not particularly sold on the tohaa look, but those symbiomates/bombs are really cute.
Really nice to see Tohaa get a boost like this. They’ve suddenly got much more scary!
Symbiochu, I choose you!
The new tohaa stuff sounds very interesting
Love the Little critters. I need to get my Tohaa painted.
Not playing Tohaa but playing against one :'(
So cute, so meaaaan.
Oof, symbiomates were annoying to begin with, this is quite a boost. Healing on the symbiobombs is very cool to boot!
Well, I wanted some Tohaa before….Now I have even more reason to pick them up!
Tohaa are pretty fun, just needs more Pokemon.
Oh, my Tohaa buddy here will love this stuff. 😀 Drat, they even tempt me even more then they already did. *mustresist*
Gorgeous models, cool rules. Ok so now I have to start a Tohaa army 🙂
Really Nice! but i already painted my symbiomates like Anti-Fire-Mates x3
Now they are Anti-Everything-Mates…
More great sounding stuff..
I might have to start a new army!
Now I’m looking forward to the battle report 😀
Hoping flr a battle report as well. Tohaa is quite hard to face.
Great vid!
Schade, daß die symbiomates und symbiobombes nur einmal einsetzbar sind.
Hacker können ja auch mehrmals ihr hackermodul nutzen
yeah i need these now
Even more reasons to fear these guys. Great!
my guess is, that the game report will be tohaa, vs. onyx force!
Is the first must what I see in Infinity, for the moment I don t notice any unit than must in an army like the kaeltar I hope they don t make any more troops than good like this.
They went to far with symbiomates. Denying just 1 of any atack was good enough , all atacks during an order y way to OP
They went to far with symbiomates. Denying just 1 of any atack was good enough , all atacks during an order is way to OP
Wonderful ptions for the Tohha
Those things are so cute! But there’s only 4 of them in the box, right? And they’re one use only? If they replace hacking for the Tohaa, won’t that put them at a huge disadvantage?
Tohaa have always been a tough opponent for me. Smoke rushing and using bombs is quite popular in my meta.
These look superb.
that’s kinda cool 🙂
Wow… been waiting for this.. new player and have only ever used the ‘mates, already packed my army for tonigjts game and the 1st time I will be testing the ‘bombs.. cant wait for the book and legality of this to drop.
Say hello to my little friends.
With 1 order total inmunity, i thinm that Tohaa don’t need more, but they will have it and will be welcome
Well then those little boogers sound annoying.
I’ll have to give some serious thought to starting a Tohaa army.
Makes me want to play Toha … but nonetheless it is nice to know the tricks of the enemy.
The Tohaa is looking like much more fun. Great accent Carlos.
So I should expect to see four of these any time my opponent is playing Tohaa
The Tohaa attack with smells. I’ve always said they stink I didn’t think it was that literal..
Awesome stuff
MSV2+Smoke combo available for the Tohaa now. I like what the symbio/bombs/mates have become. Should see more Tohaa in tournaments…fighting for top places!
Tohaa are looking even more interesting now.
Wow, Tohaa changes are very powerful.
So glad I started Tohaa as my first army… though I’m not sure if I like the symbiomate/bomb models
Here come the Pokemon!
I wonder how many you can attach per trooper. Would be funny to see a herd of these little guys hopping about. That could be a nice painting challenge too; Color each one similar to an actual Pokemon.
Interesting for Tohaa players, good to know what they can do.
Wow, Symbiomates are looking pretty amazing now!
tohaa?
finally toha will be on par with the other armies.
Tohaa are gaining some interesting abilities. Maybe one day, i’ll listen to the call of pheroside.
Great Video – I love how connected Corvus is to the player base. Keep the the great content coming!
Always wondered about hose little guys and what they do, thought they where some kind of weird anime characters
I’m still not sure why this (or was it last) year is the year of the tohaa. They have some new tools, but not a ton.
As this is a faction I do not play I will have to study their rules and tricks a lot. The symbio tricks are ridiculously rediculus 🙂 very very good and I will fear this, and criky the parimeter white noise is bannanas. Will they be replenishable with baggage?
Nice to see a good discussion of the new tohaa stuff!
Until now I wanted to start (if I start) with Combined Army but this bio thing drags me somehow towards Tohaa 🙂
I love the way tohaa works..
Oh I love the Tohaa changes. Please don`t give me the Onyxforce Starter. There are traitors in it.
Great! Just what I was waiting for… thanx!!!! Great JOB
Cute but ferocious haha. Opens up some nice tactics.
Sweet.
Win!
Look like a pretty aubstantial revamp of the Tohaa. The changes on Fire Vulnerability are a good thing to prevent extreme matchup issues.
And now I need more Fire to kill these things…
Great now I find myself with a hankering for artichoke
Nice! Won’t be too long until I start collecting Tohaa as well…
Don’t like Rojas design but I like the pokomon haha. Another great video.
You dont need to apologist for your accent, understand everything you say without a problem and English isn’t even my first language.
Just bought a Su-Jian, but starting to feel i went for the “wrong” faction. Its really hard to chose a new faction to compliment my AEPH/Phalanx.
These seem pretty cool. One thing that always strikes me about infinity is that it seems you can just pick an army based on what you like the look of and still be confident that it’s also useful.
And also should join in on the Carlos love. I’ve watch anything with Carlos that is anything less than great, carry on good sir.
Honestly, I’ve never really experimented with the Tohaa before, but I really appreciate that CB makes an effort to make them alien – even in terms of the rules.
Tohaa get even stronger…scary stuff for the rest of us O_O
I struggle to not start a tohaa army!
looks nice
When I see something like this I right a way have a “shine syndrome”
Hummmmmmmmmmm interesting.
Just another reason to hate tohaa with a passion
Trolhaa keeps getting better!
I want the symbiobomb to heal a symbiobomb/mate to use them more than once… 🙂
That’s the only disadvantage really, that you can use the symbiobombs only once
Could be enough to get me to finish my tohaa
I can’t say I am terribly happy with the new rules for symbiomates, but no help for that.
Need more of them!!!!
Nice buff for the Tohaa. I think i will field the Druze Hacker with them as well.
Probably my next army! ;D
Tohaa! Tohaa!
(It’s like toga! Toga!)
niiiiiiiice, they are gonna be my second army for sure!! 😀
Tohaa have been on my wishlist now for sometime as an extra force, those SymbioMates/Bombs are awesome! Going to be some tough decisions after this week lol.
The tohaa are really cool
…Pheroware is cool….and dangerours to everything not TOHAA….
Tohaamons! Gotta catch em all!
To cute to kill
With every faction video I watch, I want to build an army of that faction. Ahh, I’d I was rich and most of all, had more time.
I’m all for body guard units, but it seems odd to have living frogs jump in front of a rocket rather than a robot panda.
I really like how the Tohaa have their own biological version of hacking. Great flavour.
I’m really trying not to start a 4th faction before I’ve even finished playing the Icestorm missions, but you guys are making it hard 😉
Behold the Tohaa Pokemon, stink-a-saur and the invulnera-saur of dooooom!
Very good upgrade for tohaa
Yeah…Tohaa
The Toha looks like a fun faction and i like the models more and more.
great now i want Tohaa.
Pheroware? Since when are the ancient Egyptian kings interested in clothes again?
…too bad? Fine. But I’m still super hyped for Tohaa’s improvements!
sounds very interesting
i hope my friend who wants to start Tohaa never gets to see this video ;P
Some nice little “Tactics”, from the little guy`s. Just a pity one of them has to take all the hit`s for the boss man……..
There`s been so much stuff over the last four day`s (and we still got tomorrow to go), i think i`ll be watching it all again probably on Sunday when the misses is at work. Plus getting the book will help me understand it all a bit better, that is until i start to play then thing`s will begin to fall in to place and become clear for me.
I’m guessing I’m meeting some of those soon!
Have seen very little of Tohaa on the table. Looking more and more interesting and I real like how they have become a unique faction with their own flavour and abilities.
This is really starting to make me want to do either a Tohaa or the new Combined Army sectorial. But I have too many armies as it is now, lol.
I’m new to the Tohaa army but I will be using the units here in every Tohaa army list
Seems like a useful mechanic
I love the concept of Pheroware, it really gives the Tohaa a unique and alien feel.
I love all the other factions, but I don’t know about these.
Only if I knew this before picking haqq.
Too cute for their own good!
Hmm, I started Infinity because of CrazyKoalas.
These little symbio fellas really get me to think of starting a Tohaa army too.
Watched this earlier with my wife.She thought they were cute, maybe I can use that to convince her to buy them for me!
Very nice models. This are interesting enhance of Tohaa!
The healing effect is great.
Ok, crazzy stuff…
Though about geting Tohaa but decided I liked Combined better…
Still like Combined better…
Loving the ugrades though, N3 HS is looking good.
i wounder if you could have one of each attached to a single fig
More toys for the wife 🙂
And they are adorable =D
How lovely are the simbiomates, I want one in real life, better than dogs or girlfriends!
Do you get shot at often with HMG and Missile Launchers?
They’re so CUTE!!!!!!
And they are so loyal that they will take a missile strike for you?!
Tohaa definitely on the wishlist.
Kaeltar and Sybio cuteness at their heels.
Another great video.
Hard to take them seriously when the markers look like that, its all funny until they waste your lieutenant.
Thanks!!! after all we have our video hehehe 😀
Now the Kaeltars are much more useful than before.
Auto include?
Very excited about the new Tohaa rules
This is brilliant lads, i like the way ye are keeping Steel Phalanx for last ????:)
Tohaa Finally getting love!
Someone needs to build a pokeball display for those little guys to sit in 😀
Tohaa, Tohaa, Tohaa
Really like the new rules and the unique feel they bring to the Tohaa
Mmmmm, smells like Tohaa. 🙂
Woot more love . Thanks guys
I love the unique flavor of the tohaa
I know sooner rather than later – I will end up with all 8 fractions to a playable level
makes me want start tohaa, Why corvus belli do you want all my money
thats crazy good
The Tohaa seem very interesting. I like the counterpoint of the bio ware to all of the hardware heavy factions.
More reasons to dislike Tohaa lol! ;D
So cute 😀
Shield me mini goomba.
Good stuff. Tohaa need a boost so that gorgeous Gorgos can get some table time. Symbiomates to the front!!
cool
Are Killian and Carlos going to have a battle this Infinity N3 Human Sphere weekend? Please1! lol It’s always fun to watch!
The Morats and the Onxy contact force what a wonderful combination…
Can’t wait for the game tomorrow and leaks from adepticon.
Send those damn Pokemon back to their own reality! : ) Seriously though, cool idea.
Suicide symbiobomb xD
This it the army for me. Tohaa have really captured my imagination.
F*cking Tohaa. Honey, I need to start another army….
New Pokémon rules? Nice!
Glad I picked these up when they came out
I need to find a Tohaa opponenet to play!
I’ve never been a tohaa player, but this looks like a lot of fun. Yet another infinity army on the cards for me at some point then.
Cute and deadly!
This army is more and more interesting…
Excellent..
Interesting. So the controlling player has to choose when the symbio will intercept an attack. Save now against the incoming missile / sniper or wait for the potential flamer / HMG / boarding shotgun attack later in the round. Either way, it’s adding an extra life and round of ARO, causing the opponent to spend more orders.
Uh oh. Games against my regular opponent just got harder 🙂
I’m loving this Infinity week but especially for the paint jobs I’m seeing.
Finally, Tohaa get something useful … They really needed it. o.O
Thanks for all the content you guys have provided. Helps to understand the game a lot better.
great video I finally understand what this troop is able to do! 🙂
Tohaa look great but those Pherowere critters are a little too pokemonish for my taste… But still cool stuff 🙂
Carlos, as said by others, you don’t need to excuse your accent. It’s not worse than the other in the studio. 😉
Can’t wait to try these out with my Tohaa
I really like the direction they have gone in HS N3, it’s a combination of cool fluff and cool mechanics!
Loving it.
Greatly appreciating the effort that Corvus Belli have gone to simply to separate the feel of the various races.
This bio-engineering toys set them apart from the high tech factions.
I just… I wouldn’t be able to resist it. I’d have to paint any grenades on those models in red and white!
Here is my comment as an entry for the prize draw 🙂
The infinity Pokemon are really cute
HS is going to be soooo goood.
Those things are adorable. And deadly
A little bit too cute in my opinion.
I gotta to finish painting and start using these guys
I’d love to have more Tohaa opponents, cause i feel i will have a hard time assimilating these rules! But they looks nice!
Now you really have me pondering about starting Tohaa.
And the strong get stronger.
All they need now is a pokeball
Cool rules, but i still can’t stand these tiny creatures …
I wonder if bioimmunity will help against some of this Tohaa trickery.
Also, i love Carlos’ mexican accent 😛
This is Getting Interesting.
Pokemon design is questionable, but ruleswise they certainly add flavour to the army.
I bought the Symbio-guys without even knowing their rules because I love the little pokemon-esque markers. I’m glad I’ve got them now!
Fun additions, and great accent. : )
This looks cool!
Simbiomates and simbiobombs both look cool and seem really strong.
i really like the Pheroware stuff for the tohaa, this helps to work out the profil of the tohaa and is so much in playce with the fluf for this guys
Interesting. I like how the tohaa are developing.
Haven’t gotten a chance to play against Tohaa yet, but these new rules sound like it will be quite the challenge…
Loving this week.
yesss charts and charts we all love those coolest charts, haha!
This comment si just for the raffle *fingers crossed*
Tohaa clowns
Haven’t played infinity yet but these videos are pretty much convincing me to give it a go.
I’m now intrigued by a faction I’ve pretty much ignored.
They are so cute.
The Tohaa sound cool
These little guys look a bit like the Proteus! 😀
Love this game
It looks like a lot of fun. I have not played Infinity, but I have backed the rpg kickstarter. The book with the background would be a very interesting addition for playing the rpg.
Toga looks great with the addition of pheroware. I just preordered hsn3!
I love how they want each faction to have its own identity, play its own way, and be different from every other faction.
Tohaamon rule!
Wow, this was not something I expected to see. I am very interested to see how it plays out.
It is nice to see Tohaa gaining some uniqueness to them as they are aliens.
Pherowarfare is so flexible now. I’ll make sure to keep my Sogarat away from those Symbio bombs. Isolation can be brutal.
Carlos’s accent has a Spanish flavour and it adds some spice to the videos. 🙂
Pheroware tactics: “Master, nooooo!” made my day!
The Symbiobomb looks like it’ll be fun to play around with.
Wow they there interesting
Puny creature, detonate to save me!
Useful to know if/when I play against this faction with their cunning stunts
The pheroware system looks like a really interesting addition to the game and one with great expansion possibility.
Pure awesome!
I love the simbio-buddies! Those things are stupidly cute!
ttotal nuts
Good stuff. Tohaa need a boost so that gorgeous Gorgos can get some table time. Symbiomates to the front!! But, come on – the Bombs could’ve been a little less threatening, couldn’t they? 😉
It was fun burning them. Sad days.
Can’t wait to read up more about these aliens in the N3 Human Sphere expansion with the new fluff. Thanks for the video.
Tohaa have been tempting me since they first released. I might have to actually get them assembled and give them a try…
great mix of badass and adorable minis in this range
Why did the Tohaa kidnap the Quaggans from Guild Wars?
Cool concept. Waiting to see how they play out on the board.
The Tohaa are looking to be a really great and individual faction!!!
I need a second job just to fund my infinity addiction!
These are some really good bodyguards
Pokemon just became way more scary to me.
Tohaa are very interesting, nice to see a little more about them.
hmmm Tohaa stuff looks good
Awesomesouce!
Bio weapons sound superb.
I really like this video, a good explanation for Tohaa players.
Really dig the rules for a biological counterpart to hacking.
i realy like these got to try it
Pokemon powah!
Nice addition
Ugh..more Tohaa goodness…:-)
Pokemons!
Loving how much effort and love is put into this game
These minis make me want to start collecting Tohaa
This is one competition I really want to win
Interesting stuff, It’s cool that they’re trying to make tohaa more unique
I hope I’m not too late
Awesome!
The symbiomates remind me of Peach from Super Smash Brothers. She has that ability to use Toad as a shield from incoming attacks.
Tohaa, how awesome are these little pheroware and interesting tactical options that can make a big difference in a game, really cool looking minis also…..
Love Those little guys. don;t play tohaa but might get the box just for them
Tohaa look really cool 🙂
This was super!
Pretty cool!
Oh man the poor Symbiomates: I can just see them, eyes tearing up as they nobly dive in front of the attack…
Those little guys are Bubble Bobble, and I want them
I loved this!
Cool show! 🙂
Great ideas!
TOHAA POWER!!!!
This fraction gets more and more attractive to me!!! I don’t know how long I can resist further before I have to start with them!
Also the regarding battle report gives a nice overview about the power of the Tohaa troops.
The best thing about them is that they use other technical and biological mechanisms compared to the classical human fractions.
Finally, I like the fluff of the Tohaa very much because their plan for the Human Sphere is still unknown in detail! And I’m looking forward to the development of the two faces of the Tohaa!
Plenty of Tohaa tricks here, The ability for the creatures to just soak up all the damage seen in the battle report too is just super cool.
Blocking ALL damage that easily feels a little OP… but I guess we’ll see how it plays out on the table.
This was lovely!
Seeing these Tohaa changes it really makes me see how CB is trying to differentiate the difference of these outer races who come into the Human Sphere.
Great stuff!
I love Infinity!
Infinity rox!
Those things are so cute!
