Plan is to have victor messer buff the hell out of the Gwailo and ARO first couple of turns, last turn break up the fire team and charge Gwailo down while seeking hackers/TAGs with victor, earlier if necessary. The Speculo will be my first turn unit, Sheskiin will charge down second, then third is the Gwailo as mentioned before. Everything else just is either ARO pieces or to prevent loss of lieutenant. Also the cadmus is there simply because the opponent is likely to bring lots of hackers.
Fairy Dust and Breakwater mostly. Its more to keep it alive than anything else cause im scared of immobilize/irregular hacks.
Can't use Breakwater if the Gwailo is the target. BW is actually kind of broken ATM in that regard. I'd love for it to be able to target any activated hacker within the user's hacking area and nullify said attack (essentially imposing the -6 on whatever hack the opponent chooses). Gwailo could still reset. Having to declare it before the attack means the opponent could choose a different attack option, but I think that would be a perfectly fine "drawback". Anyway, Victor is perhaps better off buffing the M-drone instead, since the Gwailo has a very respectable BTS 9. EDIT: Also, if you are going for a mass-murder list, just go all out and bring a 5-frog Core for a Sheskiin Delivery System. And/or bring 2 Speculo Minelayers.
True. At this point I'm wondering if I should even take him considering with that points value I can buff my killer hackers. Maybe I should drop the fire team and go for just the gwailo and two upgraded hackers? That way I sacrifice the burst +1 for another hacker (probs malignos).

(0.5 | 28) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army What I've done is broken up the fire team of the Gwailo and shifted Lieutenants around. I added a forward observer to the Sheskiin fire team so she can dakka better against things like TAGs which are scary. I've upgraded the hacker and seperated Victor Messer. He will now be responsible for attacking big HI that comes up the field or remotes. I'm gonna take first turn and set HMG to suppressive fire, same plan as before.

I think an FO is kind of wasted in the fireteam. Sheskiin will be an absolute beast, even without it. TAGs should not scare her in the least. Her RF is damage 14 due to Fatality and the increased chance to crit means that hard targets aren't nearly as hard as they otherwise would be. That said, BS 24 RF sounds nuts... if also order intensive. The question is whether the increased chance to crit is worth the order sink when you only have 10 orders max. ...Geebus that's a 76% chance to crit...
