    Essentially this. Tohaa can be a very order spammy army, looking for low cost above everything else. To cost 30+ points in Tohaa the unit needs to be very efficient, and the Sukuel (along with the Rasail) bring ridiculous power for their points as well as otherwise unavailable faction abilities.

    The other reason is the HMG. This is not the weapon I want my AD trooper packing. If I'm taking a Gao Tarsos, it's for those missions where I am forced into going first and must have a way to deal damage efficiently at the start of the game - essentially, not that keen on a 30pt combi that cannot take pokemon. If we had a Spitfire loadout, and/or pokemon could go on the Tarsos, and/or Sukuel got a nerf (hint hint the problem is mimetism just like most other units that have mimetism) he may see some more table time.

    I second this. The fins will fall off frequently, so investing in 0.3mm drill bits is heavily recommended. I actually bought mine when Gao-Rael's sword bit broke off, and it proved itself a very useful purchase really quick.

    I just used LOTS of glue (and patience).
    Three years later, all the pieces still hold together.

    Never been disappointed with him. He's even saved the game once or twice. But I don't often find myself adding him over some of our other pieces.

    Gao Tarsos is easily the worst thing i've put together, at this point I think I spent more time putting him together than he's been on the table.
    His middle fin fell off a few weeks ago and that is sure as hell staying off.

    I like the Gao Tarsos, i'd like him a lot more with a spitfire, or maybe a viral combi eh? eh?

    Wouldn't be cheap, though, about 34 points.

    I would easily pay that, probably a couple times in a game, his back line pressure would be hilarious.
