Whats the last list you ran or the next list you're going to run? I'm thinking about the following: Woah Boy ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 3 SUKEUL HMG, D-Charges / Pistol, Breaker Pistol, Knife.

I played a similar version of this a few days ago, (the previous version had an Ectross HMG instead of the Sukeul, and a Diplomat instead of the Krakot).

(1 | 10) 4.5 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army Played countermeasures, (very incorrectly), against Aleph, and the Keil-San was definitely the MVP as my data-tracker. He rolled NWI for his Metachemistry, and managed to continue to be useful well after being isolated by a Proxy Mk. 2, (including killing the Mk. 2 with its Heavy Pistol).
This was a janky LI list I made to try against an Avatar list for Acquisition. Light on specialists, and I lost 4 orders to Speculo during the opponent's first turn, but it was fun and my opponent still had a tough time with ML Sukeuls. Acquisition & Fun ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 1 NEEMA Lieutenant (Advanced Command) Breaker Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust, Nanopulser / Viral Pistol, Shock CCW.

This is a neat list. Do you find the Kiel Sann is fast enough to make use of those 5 orders or does it feel alittle order starved? I would have thought it would need more than 5 personally. No Gao Rael? I would have thought the MSV 2 would have payed Dividends vs. the Avatar's ODD. I suppose the Spitfire/Sniper wont grind through the Avatar's armour though. Maybe its time to try the ADHL Gao Rael? D:
I chose it as my Datatracker, so it had an extra order. In a different mission I probably would not have pushed it as far into my opponents table in the first turn, but I wanted to use it to kill off my opponent's Porxy Mk. 5 datatracker, and in the order it did so it got Isolated by the Proxy Mk. 2, and by that time I still had the the Irregular order I could have converted. My orginal plan was to have the Ectross do more of the heavy lifting, but it never really got the chance to do the work I needed it to do. I am hoping that by switching it to the Sukeul, I will have more options to leverage the HMG without worrying about hackers, and repeaters.
Did you consider bailing out of the Keil-Sann's armour at all? With NWI Hes almost an HI even after he gets nekkid.
He lost his armor by the time it was my turn again, but I would probably kept him in it and just used him a bit more aggressively, or moved him back closer to my Chaksa Servant.
Maybe it's time for Gao-Rael to get Mimetism! My opponents are usually surprised that he doesn't have any kind of visibility impairing skill.
Going to run this tomorrow. I don't feel too comfortable with it, but running 20 orders screwed me over twice now.

Running against 20 orders screwed you or running that many models screwed you? Looks like a pretty model heavy list I'd be interested to hear how you do what you think you could change to improve it. :)
Looking for second tournament list to cover Supplies and Extreme Countermeasures. I'm pretty happy with the outcome but I think that it will struggle if I'll get unlucky with Classifieds in Countermeasures. Needs more testing. At least when going first, I can cripple opponent's army with my massive order pool and go from there ;) GROUP 1 10 4 NEEMA Lieutenant (Advanced Command) Spitfire, Nanopulser / Viral Pistol, Shock CCW.

I usually run 20 orders and while the tables here in Germany are rather full, deployment zones tend not to be about 50% of the time. This led to me getting fried by McMuffin or biker templates multiple times in turn 1 now, with me having second turn, losing me the game immediatly. (Even though I know how to protect my zone with Kaauri and Chaksas) I ran this list for Acquisition and Quadrant Control in a 35 player tournament yesterday against O-12 and VIRD. In both games, my opponents had to count for retreat after I was done with my first turn. (Granted, in the last game vsO-12, I crit several times with my sukeul in ARO, killing a key unit and a Dakari Sniper) Sadly, I really shot O-12 into retreat, which lead to the game ending in a draw and costing me the tournament win. I am still a bit salty about it, tbh. I ended up in fourth place with over 950 points surviving. As for what to improve: The Rasail was my data tracker in both games, giving him up to 12 orders in Quadrant Control. The Sukeul HMG and tge Triad of Makaul stole his show both times, though. Maybe he ist supposed to be some MSV2 guy, I'm not sure about that. I like having him as an additional option to attack. I liked putting the Draal down on his own to freely deploy him and his mine up to 20“. He's supposed to be a substitute for a dead makaul later. When going second, deploying the sukeul as an ARO piece in a place where he can guts in cover if needed seems pretty decent, should have done that. Never leave home without a Liberto minelayer. This guy is an excellent reserve troop and can, in.a pinch, cover up to 24“ of your side from enemy camo tokens. Also, he made a suicide run to kill VIRDs data tracker in Quadrant Control, which is nice. I actually quite like this list and will be tuning it a bit more. Maybe I'll make a thread about it, if people are interested.
Ok, jumping back into tohaa for a while after some time with YJ, Haqq and Dashat. This is an iteration over some of the last lists I played: Linked Draal ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 2 GAO-RAEL Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CCW.

However I've also played a few variations with other variations and have a bunch of other things I want to try. In particular we're seeing white noise locally a lot and I'm not as comfortable relying on MSV troops as much as I usually do, and I had really good results in one game where a Sukeul missile changed gears to go from ARO element to asskicker where it landed missile shots in enfilade on a bunch of clumped enemies. So that's an element I'm keen to explore going forward. Anyone else got anything interesting on the boil?

Oh man, now we going deep. I've always gone pretty spammy with Tohaa but not like this, every instinct is telling me "find a handful of points to make a Makaul triad instead". Would be keen to see a writeup on how this plays out.
First draft of a list with Jaan Staar. I've left open the option to deploy him with symbiobomb, but often I think I'll prefer him as a reserve. I'm also still tinkering with the groups; an alternate draft has the Sakiel + Makaul team in group two so I've got more orders for smoke coverage.
