I'm preparing a limited insertion tournament in CA with the following mission : Firefight/Frontline/Supremacy/Acquisition/Supplies. So no need for a lot of subtility and need for a lot of firepower The other list will be either Avatar or Sphinx based Overdron limited ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 1 OVERDRON Hyper-Rapid Magnetic Cannon / . (2 | 78) STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0) NOCTIFER Missile Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 32) Q-DRONE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) SHESKIIN Lieutenant Red Fury, Pulzar, D-Charges / Pistol, DA CCW. (1 | 54) CALIBAN (Chain of Command) Submachine Gun, Pulzar, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife, CC Weapon. (0 | 29) SHROUDED (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 25) MED-TECH OBSIDON MEDCHANOID (Journalist L1) Submachine Gun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) KRAKOT RENEGADE 2 Chain Rifles, Grenades / Pistol, DA CC Weapon. (0 | 14) IKADRON (Baggage, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9) R-DRONE Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army Q-Drone/Noctifer bring some defensive firepower when I play second. Overdron can take down long range ARO, Sheskin can rambo once the path is clear. Either of them can be Datatracker depending of the mission/table configuration. Caliban and shrouded can take care of objectives in supplies/acquisition/Supremacy. Caliban and Krakot can provide mid-field firepower if necessary My only regret is not fielding a HD/HD+ to boost the Q-Drone but I cannot find a way to put it in. So, any advice regarding the list or the mistake not to do while playing it ?
I would say downgrade that Overdron to a Sogarat and you have your space to drop in a hacker. Something like this: Combined Army ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 1 SHESKIIN Lieutenant Red Fury, Pulzar, D-Charges / Pistol, DA CCW. (1 | 54) CALIBAN (Chain of Command) Submachine Gun, Pulzar, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife, CC Weapon. (0 | 29) NOX Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Zapper / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 22) ZERAT (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, Grenades, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) MED-TECH OBSIDON MEDCHANOID (Journalist L1) Submachine Gun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) Q-DRONE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) SOGARAT (Full Auto L2) Feuerbach / Assault Pistol, AP CCW. (1.5 | 67) NOCTIFER Missile Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 32) KRAKOT RENEGADE 2 Chain Rifles, Grenades / Pistol, DA CC Weapon. (0 | 14) IKADRON (Baggage, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I'm actually planning on using something very similar soon.
thanks for the feedback @DaRedOne I have been thinking of your proposal of replacing the TAG by a Sogarat to free enough point to get a hacker Are you sure it's worth it ? The sogarat make me loose 1 W, 1 unconscious level, 1 order, some armor and Albedo. I'm not sure it's worth it.
You do lose 1 order, 1 wound and albedo, but you do not lose armor. Sogarat is Armor 6, like the Overdron. The extra unconscious level isn't that big of a deal if you drop back into full cover when you get unconscious. And thanks to automedikit you don't need a slave drone babysitting your roadblock. Realistically, the Feuerbach is way more dangerous than the HRMC, even with fatality added in. Not only it has a stronger ARO presence out of supressive fire, but it also deals more wounds per hit, so even if you're fighting a hard target, the feuerbach will have an easier time killing it. Besides, Full Auto gives you a bonus that's almost as good as Albedo vs MSV, and better than it against anything else, so I would say it all evens out, really.
Ok, you make a good case for the Sogarat, but I love having albedo. Let's see. If I push think a bit I can put Victor Messer on the list. He looks like a good toolbox and HD+ allow me to white noise to take down MSV aro unit The only problem is : it force me to remove my slave drone. Not sure I like it : Overdron limited ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 SOGARAT (Full Auto L2) Feuerbach / Assault Pistol, AP CCW.

(0 | 8) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I took a variant on this list to a satellite last year (and mono listed it) and various other event. Every game the sight of my opponents fearful eyes I put down the raicho as a reserve made my heart sing. In supplies it has fast specialists in the others it has multiple TAGs and great hackers
wow this double TAG list is rad! I would drop the med tech for a Kurgat so you get a true 10th order as a Ikadron instead of the random imetron
