Hehe, I know that, and First Aid works only on unconcious symbiontarmor troops, so very limited :) I think the idea may actually put more pharoware tactics on board, since symbiomates are soo much better than symbioboms.
This would give more personality to the Tohaa army, but I think that programs like End Game or Revitalis would be too powerful if you could use them with a unit as many times as you wanted, but, the other programs are very well, they would give extra support in the games
Viral combi Paramedic Sakiel! Taqeul that can Target on the active turn! 0.5SWC Sakiel LRL (LRL is the SWC cheap, points expensive variant while HRL is the points cheap and SWC expensive one, LRL costs 0.5SWC on a Montesa knight, that's a HI with mech deploy!) Bomb Kaletars should not share AVA with mate Kaeltar, as no one using the former. CoC would be nice there too. Symbiobombs limited use is necessary, as infinite use deal 1W on anything with a W would be bit too much, but it should have disposable 2 or 3 maybe. Imo Kotail need some loadout refreshments, they are a bit bland now. Gao-rael with Sniper and Spitfire is cool, others seem bit boring. Imo Nikoul either needs MSV2 or some weapon that's not 1.5SWC.
- Yeah, im agree with the Symbiobomb limited use is necessary too, the END GAME is good, but if it will be Unlimited times, it will be broken - Kotail it's a bit expensive, or, it's not so good than other linked units, or other alone units like the Rasail for example, or the clipsos, uhm even the Igao... i like it but... it's hard to find a place for him, i hate that because i love his E/M Greanades - Kaeltar's are Kaeltar's so they must share AVA, but, maybe they can add profiles that can add 1 symbiobomb to symbiounits or maybe symbiounits that they can equip himself with 1 symbiobomb, i mean, it's a Corahtar Discipline lvl1 skill, and this skill can be on more troops with the (Symbiobomb) option
I actually quite like the kotail its a useful killer and holo is pretty fun to use but could use some tweaks probably. Main reason I never use the bombs is that they don't have CoC, are only 6 points cheaper and the bomb is way more situational...should be cheaper or mates more expensive and bombs should have coc...
I love symbiobombs and prefer them to mates. The problem with bombs is no COC on the profile, not with the bombs or what they can do (my opinion)
I take one of each Kealtar in nearly all of my lists. The combo of 'mate and 'bomb on a unit like the Kerail is fantastic, and 1 CoC unit is enough unless I have already made some terrible mistakes.
Hehehehe, yeah, the Kerail Datatracker with Symbiobomb is my most beloved aggresive datatracker, 2 wounds, 1 smg, Smoke, some extra protection... so cool :D
Back to @Cothel main question hehehe, do you expect something nice for this Tohaa? Something that doesn't mean a reesculpt? some original tohaa? or chaksa or anything of our army? or any new original rule? or even a weapon? Actually I saw since Ayyar the evolution of his weapon, the marksman rifle, maybe they will release in the future with viral Ammunition? i see just now on TAK with T2 ammunition, it will be not a crazy option right?
Why on Nikoul? Why not on a Sakiel or Sukeul profile? or even on Clipsos I mean, mid range troops, Nikoul is a long range unit right?
Give it Forward Deployment and this would be an incredibly interesting profile: find a good spot a little ahead your Deployment Zone, deploy a Mine or two, get into the Foxhole and enter in Supression Fire state. Awesome defensive unit. Shit, now I want it.
My main concern with the Nikoul is that it doesn't have MSV2, so it can't handle all ARO issues alone, and I really don't like spending 1.5SWC on a sniper rifle (the reason why I don't like MSR either). Also B1 doesn't seem much when everything is in a Triad. On the other hand it has loads of survivability (compare it to a Nisse, which is a top notch ARO piece, but has a single wound (and also has B1. goes down to HMG bursts all the time)). Gao-Rael is already cool being linkable and stuff, I don't think upgrading Nikoul to MSV2 would hurt it. The FD + Viral marksman option is a good idea. It's free of SWC, so it wouldn't need to handle everything (if an ARO piece takes up all/most of the SWC I want to spend on ARO, it has to deliver), so lower expectations, would see more play IMO.
A lot of snipers haven't MSV2, and for the points it cost, Nikoul does his job, is good at active turn, and is good at ARO turn, and have a lot of resistance, and a fearsome weapon
Sure Nikoul isn't bad but I tried a few games not using sukeul ml + gao rael sniper + kaeltar mates and it sucked, Nikoul was ok but kaauri sniper and clipsos sniper rarely survived more than one attack...and quite a few missions you need good aro or you have already lost the game if the enemy gets first turn
Yup, that's the issue of the generic Tohaa on the metagame, you have better options to choose, and yes, Sukeul LM + Rael + Kaeltar are a better defensive ARO team (Speaking of Limited Insertion basically, on +10 orders you can choose to spend less points on the ARO team and try Nikoul) It is good, but maybe on future sectorials it will fit better, dunno @Abrilete you suggestion is quite good idea, i'd love to try this kind of nikoul!!! sounds good!
I don't know a model with TO:Camo and another long range weapon than a Sniper. It would be to good on the Clipsos.
