In Coldfront Aleph 300 pts army list... I think it depends on the flexibility of Dakini link (if Yadu are in, it's going to be absurdly deadly), Netrods AVA, etc. In general OSS shapes up to be a very elite army, with 11-12 orders being the norm, but it should give hordes one hell of a headache...
I'm not saying sectorial will be weak, but that neither Asura* nor Marut will make sense to take in that sectorial. You'll load up on the other stuff you mentioned. Which is a shame because it is those units that are the thematical stars, so to say. *Asura Hacker variant might be playable in sectorial as you're not relying on her as gunfighting platform. Otherwise, I don't see competitive lists featuring those units in sectorial.
Yup, seriously looking forward to this one, between linked dakinis... the cyberdancer... str 2 rem... it's going to be all kinds of fun. And lets not forget our camo huntress, Dart! Now I'm desperately trying to paint up all the current era models... especially before anything new drops xD Spoiler: Painting list Finished ALEPH ────────────────────────────────────────────────── FINISHED 8 NETROD .

Marut is a BS15 MHMG heavy TAG with Strategos L3, Specialist Pilot with decent WIP, MSV2 to ignore enemy modifiers and cheap CoC support. Asura is a very elite and resilient HI (MSV3 is more useful than people think, and I really hope that 2W+NWI vs Shock FAQ will get reversed at some point). There are many reasons to field them aside from Smoke shenanigans.
Guys, I know some of the info from the same source was being discussed already, but I don't know how much of it is officially good to go, and how much was leaked. So I don't know if I didn't accidentally share too much for the moment. Please wait until there's some confirmation ;)
Yes, but question is not why would you take them, but why would you take them in sectorial which does not provide Smoke support versus vanilla that does provide that Smoke support (along with many other useful support, such as Warbands). Also, I disagree on MSV3 - I play Asuras all the time and it's barely worth a point at best over MSV2.
