To address this more directly, let's talk about the Rasail specifically.

This is a Symbiont Armour troop with 2 Wounds, and a Nanoscreen, that is also Light Infantry. BS 12 is decent for Tohaa. So we have an unhackable troop that is always in cover, and will never roll for ARM at less than a +3. (K1 doesn't bypass cover, AP doesn't halve cover bonus ARM, etc.) Add in the Chaksa Synch and the viral Combi for under 40 points and no SWC. Grab a CoC Kaeltar, because there's probably one in every list. What does that give us?

Our whole package here looks like one of the most durable Heavy Infantry in the game with none of the vulnerability to hacking or E/M. You have a hard 4 ARM with minimal special ammo vulnerability, no matter your attacker's position, and 3 total Wounds plus a SymbioMate gives you at least 4 Wounds worth of soaking.

In Deployment you can start right on the edge of your DZ for as much forward ground as possible, because you have cover anyways. In the Active turn you can rush up the board without regard for cover placement, because, again, nanoscreen, and even if you soak a lot of AROs in an order you have a Mate to ignore them.

The viral Combi gives you a decent B3, and you have the aforementioned maneuverability and durability to get up into the green range, and of course Viral is one of the scariest ammunition types in the game.

The Chaksa Synch gives you a Heavy Flamethrower and a Pistol to combo in with your Viral Combi attacks, giving you up to Burst 5 in Active turn (part of which will always be unopposed if your target tries to shoot back) or the option to handle intuitive attacks or light up entire groups with a fire template. The Chaksa can also be used for suicide runs with the Rasail safely up to 16 inches away since Coherency isn't checked until the end of the order.

And of course the LT + CoC allows you to start the turn off spending your LT order to ensure it isn't wasted, moving him up with impunity.

Rasail can face off with nastier targets, but is best at gutting into the weaker order generators and cutting through your opponent's flank like a hot knife through butter. The biggest baddest TAG can't do much if there's no Orders to spend.

A spectacularly good answer - interesting, informative and genarlly makes me want to play the faction, thanks Macfergusson.

I completely skipped the pipes? chains? whichever you want to call them, couldn't be bothered, and if you think these are bad wait till you get your hands on a Gao-Tarsos ;)

Zsolt · 30 Jun 2018

Or a Dragoes, it has a ammo belt for the HRMC, supposed to be nearly a full circle on the mini, but comes as a straight line in the box. Good luck bending and not breaking that.

Hiereth. I actually enjoyed putting the Gao-Tarsos together along with my fingers!! :)
