Ye, I was wondering if a Janns core with a Hortlak SMG, Hortlak Sniper, Namurr, Wild Bill and Jann HMG would be viable.
Why not? Not something I'd be a fan of (too many troop types in a single fireteam, difficult to remeber what does what... I mean difficult for me!), but I guess it could work pretty well.
I ran a core team the other day consisting of two hortlaks with SMGs, a janissary with HMG, Wild Bill, and Leila. I didn't like it, but that was more personal preference than an issue with the team itself. To bring it back to IA, there are a few different ways to build IA. Assuming we're looking at the "typical" single combat group list with 12+ orders and a zuyong core, I'd look to go around the team as much as possible to gut their order pool. Last time I played a build like that, I tried to engage the core team with various models from different angles. It didnt work, but, for less orders, I could have killed everything else and probably won the game.
This is what I will be trying: Ramah Taskforce ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 5 WILD BILL Contender / 2 MULTI Pistols, Knife. (0 | 25) LEILA SHARIF Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Shock Marksman Rifle, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 20) HORTLAK Submachine Gun, Blitzen / Viral Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28) JANISSARY Akbar Doctor (MediKit) AP Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (0 | 41) JANISSARY HMG / Pistol, CCW. (2 | 40) 2 SWC | 154 Points Open in Infinity Army
