    Hey guys,

    I'll have the chance to play one or two games with StarCo this weekend.
    Missions will be Supremacy and Supplies, but I want to test all-comers lists rather than tailoring something to these missions.
    I have access to all models aside from Anacondas (which I wouldn't pick in any case..).
    Do you have any suggestions on what kind of lists to try first?

    My current thoughts are to see how the MB core link could work out:

    [​IMG] MB Pain Train
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────

    GROUP 1[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]9 [​IMG]1 [​IMG]1
    [​IMG] MOBILE BRIGADA HMG / Pistol, Knife. (2 | 42)
    [​IMG] MOBILE BRIGADA Hacker (Hacking Device) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 43)
    [​IMG] MOBILE BRIGADA Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot B (Deflector L2) / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 37)
    [​IMG] SEÑOR MASSACRE Boarding Shotgun, E/M Grenades, Eclipse Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW, E/M CCW. (0 | 26)
    [​IMG] DAKTARI Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14)
    [​IMG] HAWWA' (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER (Fireteam: Haris) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 17)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER (Multispectral Visor L2) MULTI Sniper / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 28)
    [​IMG] IRMANDINHO Chain Rifle, D-Charges, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 8)
    [​IMG] ZONDBOT Electric Pulse. (0 | 3)

    GROUP 2[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]3
    [​IMG] JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10)
    [​IMG] JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10)
    [​IMG] UHAHU Hacker (Hacking Device Plus. UPGRADE: Icebreaker) Pitcher, D-Charges / Assault Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25)

    5.5 SWC | 300 Points

    Open in Infinity Army

    The game plan is pretty straight forward:

    Group 1 has a pain train to advance into the midfield and take out enemy AROs as well as infiltrators. They have their own smoke and fairy dust, but they can also get that from Group 2 without having to spend their own orders.
    On a good day the pain train can probably accomplish the mission on its own.
    In case some support is needed the Al'Hawwa and Irmandinho (with Zondbot for fun and CC) can do their share of objectives and close range killing.
    The Harris of Brawlers is there mainly to supply the MSV2 Sniper, which can be used as an active turn killer to take out ARO pieces, which are at an unfavorable range for the Pain Train, and to secure the obvious LT.
    I really like that Uahu is in the list. She supplies White Noise so that the brigadas can take out MSV units even more easily, provides good repeater coverage, which is especially nice since we have the MB hacker with SS2 in the link and makes for a good back up specialist thanks to Cybermask.

    What do you guys think?

    My second approach would be to work with the Alguaciles Core and make use of Emely's superior BS and X-Visor to get a lot of mileage out of the Grenade Launcher:

    [​IMG] Order is King
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────

    GROUP 1[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]8 [​IMG]2 [​IMG]1
    [​IMG] ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10)
    [​IMG] ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10)

    [​IMG] ALGUACIL HMG / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 18)
    [​IMG] EMILY (Chain of Command) Combi Rifle + Light Grenade Launcher (Normal and E/M), Nanopulser / Assault Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 35)
    [​IMG] TSYKLON Spitfire, Pitcher / Electric Pulse. (1 | 31)
    [​IMG] HAWWA' (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
    [​IMG] BANDIT Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Light Shotgun, Adhesive Launcher / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 25)
    [​IMG] IRMANDINHO Chain Rifle, D-Charges, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 8)

    GROUP 2[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]6 [​IMG]1
    [​IMG] CATERAN Sniper Rifle / Pistol, AP CCW. (0.5 | 21)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER (Fireteam: Haris) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 17)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16)
    [​IMG] BRAWLER (Multispectral Visor L2) MULTI Sniper / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 28)
    [​IMG] CSU (Specialist Operative) Rifle + Light Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12)
    [​IMG] JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10)
    [​IMG] JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10)

    The rest of the list isn't really too exciting, maybe even a bit squishy.
    The Tsyklon will do a great job of giving the hackers more repeater coverage, and with MMS lvl 2 it should do a great job hunting cheerleaders.
    The second group feels really good as it has enough orders to use the Smoke + MSV2 to take out a couple of ARO pieces. Later in the game the harris can advance the CSU as a back up specialist.

    Cheers!

    You have 2 links with specialists and heavy hitters. Maybe drop Uhahu for Alg hacker to just fairy dust our hitters

    I'd put both CSU in the same group to take advantage of their Duo (if you ever need to move them both at the same time, which is unlikely)

    That's just rough concept. I didn't optimize groups

    I'm liking the idea of AD Spector to mid-field link up and form a new Haris out of a Brawler+CSU Haris. Probably using the initial Haris to bring a specialist up and drop it off.

    Something like this maybe.

    Yeah, no.
    Spector is only linkable if you use his FTO profile. So you have to choose between a irregular AD Dude or the linkable one.

    in the spanish version the 2nd loadout is named SPECTOR FTO (Regular).

    While in english it is simply Spector (regular), and there is not FTO anywhere.

    Brawler Haris Fireteams must always include Raoul Specter? No Alguacil-Fireteam without Emily possible?

    Does Special override the rules or just add to them?

    Brawler has Duo, Haris, Special. So special is in addition to Haris.

    Riots have Haris, Special. so no Core outside of special.




    I wanna post the list but it keeps giving me an error message.

    Special must add to otherwise they wouldn't have "Core, Special"

    Yup, Alguaciles can form a core. Though its a good idea to use the special to add Emily since shes benefits a lot from the link bonuses.

    I'm surprise more people aren't excited about AD: Spector. Effectively 2 wounds with Mimetism, PH 13, and 4-4 move with shotgun. Holy crap, this guy is amazing. Hes got a DTW for intuitive attacks, CC skill to take advantage of smoke cover, and is even a threat to CC specialists.

    This guy is amazing, I'm surprised he isn't an auto include for everyone.

    Contemplating using this...


    Also, glad I was converting a Yuan-Yuan for Spector, that's pretty serendipitous :)

    I'm keen to try something like this.

    Lots of orders, some AROs, a few heavy(ish) hitters to fuel with the orders, and enough specialists for objectives.

    On the whole, I feel like Starco isn't super competitive but it might be in a better place than Corregidor. Should be fun to play though.

    Why isn't Starco super competitive? And I thought Corregidor was a competitive army. Whats wrong with them?

    What I see in Starco is the ability to run a Riot Grrls doom link. Which I do see as superior to the similarly cost Mobile Brigada special link. The Riot Grrls are one of the best HI links in the game and you got all you need to support them in Starco.

    On the flip side you can take 16 order lists with an Alguaciles link + infiltrators + AD troops for a flexability midfield force.

    @Death

    I don't want to derrail this thread into a bash Corregidor thead ( they are my first and favorite faction fluffwise). But basically Corregidor lacks alot of nomads strongest units and many of the strong units they do have work just as well or better in vanilla nomads.

    Starco has a lot of Corregidor units and appears to have equal or better link options for them eg. Mobile brigada with daktari and massacre.

    It also has over Corregidor:
    Riot grrls
    HDplus
    An nwi drop troop
    Avienncia

    That's just a few things after a quick read of list, there are probably more.

    The things I'd miss from Corregidor are:
    Intruders
    Morans
    Mcmurrough
    Jaguar link

    This is just theory until I play some games with starco but currently to me they look like slightly different Corregidor. I don't think they are going to be taking infinity tables by storm like some of the other factions out there.
