Hi all Had a lot of success with Mr Spector, he's an absolute beast! So far he's: Immobilised an Anaconda Killed Saito in CC Decimated a Domaru link Covered the enemy DZ in drop bears Tag teamed with a Spitfire Hellcat to put an opponent into retreat on turn 1 Not died Share your epic tales of this most troubled merc
He got blasted by a HD Mk.2 Post Human Sniper as soon as he entered. He didn't even got a fair chance to shine! ;__;
Killed a Hac Tao, Shaolin, Kuang Shi, Celestial Guard with KSCD and a Zhanshi in one turn. Immobilised and killed a Charontid LT in a game of decapitation. Killed an Oniwiban who was in CC with a stubborn Bandit. Spector is an absolute beast, no lie. Cannot wait for a mini!
Threw Bears on a Moira link then killed a Lizard with the AP rounds on his BSG. I think people are still adapting to dealing with him...
Used regular version in a fireteam, took out an entire Druze link with dropbears and follow-up shooting
First game I ever played him, took out a mixed Rodok/Legate link in two orders. 1. Throw drop bear past corner 2. Hit 'em with the BSG 3. Profit He's underperformed since then but I think that's more me trying to be *too* aggressive with him. Need to play him a little more safely, or hold him for use in turn 2/3 instead of trying to be a turn 1 alpha. He seems most effective when the opponent has moved models forward and opened up his back to Raoul.
PH13 makes AD:4 really tempting with an EVO, which would also aid the fragile nature of StarCo's Fireteams with TeamPro.
EVO in a small second combat group does seem like a pretty decent idea, especially if you're running MB, Riots + Avi, or Riots + Emily link. Of course, I find it hard to take the EVO over Uhahu when listbuilding if I have to choose between the two.
Raoul is the main focus of my more mobile list for Interplanetario (the other one being Riot Grrls and Emily). He's a complete murderer, it's true. I've never had him not at least "earn his points back," and mostly he kind of ruins games by stomping people. NWI or multiple wounds on droptroops is amazing.
I really hope they put out a model for this guy soon. I have tried him once or twice and had a blast, but I hate running profiles without models. I skipped out on all the Corregidor Bandit fun until the model came out for the same reason. I know it's just a hangup, but still. What model do you guys proxy Raoul with? Maybe that would help.
I use the Bolt with the Boarding Shotgun as Raoul is originally from PanO, having absconded with his Drop Bears.
I'm in the middle of converting the RV yuan-yuan to have a pair of eskrima sticks and a nomad jetpack.
My opponent last night left a 1.5" hole on his Unidron link's blindside. 5 orders into Raoul later 3 unidrons and his Lt is dead. My Brawler Sniper kills his Plasma Sniper from a long diagonal. We call the game at the end of my second turn after Imy KHD Bandit put him into LOL again and killed his Qdrone, an Ikadron and his Nexus hacker. The KHD also baited out a Notifier ML, who was executed by the MSR Brawler. Raouls still alive and sitting in his backline in a position to claim a quarter / push a button if required. It was brutal.
I don't really see the point? I suppose in a HRL+Raoul Brawler Haris. Which would probably work really well in a small points game.
I took him in a team with the Hacker (for the SMG) and the Haris profile. He's pretty good in f2f firefights with the B4 multi-rifle and mimetism - chucking out a drop-bear or two in advance before rounding the corner. Still a short range type of unit, but I could see mixing the HRL or Sniper into that team for a long ranged option.
