I started playing Infinity roughly half a year ago and have been invited to a local tournament in the beginning of next year. Since I only played a dozen games or so with my OCF I would appreciate some comments and tips for my lists and if my strategies make sense at all. The tournament will be 300 pts. + Spec Ops (12XP) with the missions Firefight, Highly Classified and Frostbyte. I have this idea for Frostbyte: #1 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 UMBRA SAMARITAN (EI Assault Hacking Device. UPGRADE: Goodnight) Plasma Carbine, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Vorpal CC Weapon. (0.5 | 43) XEODRON Red Fury, Blitzen / Heavy Pistol. (1 | 59) STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0) XEODRON K1 Combi Rifle, Blitzen / Heavy Pistol. (0.5 | 59) STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0) Treitak Spec-Ops (12 XP) (Engineer, Doctor, Chain of Command) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) NEXUS Lieutenant Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nullifier / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24) KERR-NAU (UPGRADE: White Noise) Plasma Rifle + Pitcher, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27) UNIDRON (Forward Observer) Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 15) UNIDRON Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20) UNIDRON Spitfire / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1 | 18) UNIDRON K1 Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0.5 | 17) 5.5 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army 2 linked teams that allow me to secure the middle fast. The Umbra will be the Datatracker, so the whole Team is immune to the cold. The downside is, how do I secure my heating units with only 10 orders? What can I do against enemy AD? I was thinking about a Rodok + TAG list as well, but couldn't figure out anything I like. For Highly Classified and Firefight I would use this list: #2 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 Treitak Spec-Ops (12 XP) (Engineer, Doctor, Chain of Command) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14) SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3) NEXUS Lieutenant Hacker (EI Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nullifier / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 24) KERR-NAU (UPGRADE: White Noise) Plasma Rifle + Pitcher, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27) UNIDRON Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20) UNIDRON Spitfire / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1 | 18) UNIDRON (Forward Observer) Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 15) UNIDRON Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 14) RODOK (Fireteam: Haris) Combi Rifle, 2 Light Shotguns / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 27) RODOK Hacker (EI Killer Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) RODOK Paramedic (MediKit) Boarding Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21) GROUP 2 4 Q-DRONE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) FRAACTA Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28) NOCTIFER Missile Launcher / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 32) IKADRON (Baggage, Repeater) 2 Light Flamethrowers, Flash Pulse / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 9) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I should have enough Specialists to accomplish all available missions. Of course my Treitak Doc/Engineer is still a weak spot, but what can I do? Again 2 linked teams, some nasty suprises (Fraacta and Noctifier) and quite some orders to Play around with. I haven't played any of the lists yet. Feedback is more than welcome.
I think your frostbyte list is good, but you should see if you can play a test game with it before your tourney. I faced a very similar list recently, and only managed to beat it by 1 point, thanks to the Unidron team castling really well. Which is basically what you should do with them, as castled unidrons will be a tough nut to crack even for AD troops. The reason I say you should play a test game is exactly so you can feel more secure in your deployment. If you deploy well your unidron link is going to go far.
Thank you für the Feedback. I will playtest the lists around Xmas to get comfortable with them. Good to know that I am not that far away from a reasonable list.
I tried #1 in the Frostbyte scenario vs. Haqqislam yesterday and am quite happy how it worked out. The middle was secured by my Xeodron/Samaritian Haris in turn 1. The Unidron Link secured the rest. I was lucky with one or two dice throws and won 7:4. Now I need to test the 2nd list.
