What to buy next

Are you wanting to play vanilla or sectorial?

I think that depends on what you play (Vanilla, Corregidor, Bakunin, Tunguska) and the way you like to play :)

I play Corregidor and really like Infiltrators, Camo Troops and AD - so I would buy the following:
- Another Bandit
- Another Moran
- Tomcats (But Hellcats as proxies are totally fine)
- some models as proxies for Sombras and EVAders (You can definitely use Custodiers and Moiras for that purpose - nice miniatures and playing Corregidor you do not need Bakunin miniatures anyway)

 

The S3 Remotes (Zonds) box and support box are usually solid buys but with Nomads/Corregidor getting added to Code One in 2021 the chances of a resculpt are very high.

 

You will need;

Zeros, Transductor zonds, interventors, Hecklers, puppetactica, jaguars, mary problems, prowlers, and uberfall

 

I have the same reccomendation I always give for Vanilla and Corregidor players. Jaguars. They are the best troop in the 10 point range IMO.

 

Midnight Sun Analyst. He proxies as SOOO much. Want to try out an Interventor LT, use you Midnight Suns Analyst. Want a Clockmaker or Daktari: Midnight Sun Analyst. Second Moran... Midnight Sun Analyst. Puppetmaster for sweet sweet Counter-intel and a DZ mine... Midnight Sun analyst.

He is the most useful proxy model in Nomads, he basically works as *any* specialist because of his dataslate. Even once you've got a more complete collection he does stirling work as a second Daktari/Clockmaker, as a Spec Ops, as a merc (ie. REMRacer/Monstrucker/etc) or even - very occasionally - as an actual HVT.

Otherwise, you've basically got enough to cover off of most basic lists: Tourniquet provides good advice on expansion options.

I'd add Zoe and Pi-well to his list, even if a lot of the time they're going to be proxying Jazz and BIllie.

Also, personally Morlocks > Jaguars in vanilla: 2 Morlocks makes it into 80% of my lists because of how damn efficient they are.

Tunguska Starter is also useful (but less so for you having gotten the action pack - which I honestly don't really recommend for starting with). It gives 3 x Securitate (Lt options or Interventor Proxies), another Sk (Heckler), a Kriza HMG (best point and click gun-fighter in Vanilla) and Hollowman (useful mobile HI). Good variety in easy accessible format. With what you already have Interventor Box and Heckler Blister covers it well but it's still a good option.

 

Being Regular on Jags makes it an easier decision which a player prefers. If I had both I would usually take both.

 

That and Jags can carry panzerfausts, which are great road bump ARO pieces.

 

I generally consider Jaguars as alternatives to Alguacil or Moderators, not compared to other WB. They're a cheap order that provides way way way more utility than anything else in their price range. After all these years they still feel like an unfair unit to me, and then they took SWC and points off the Panzerfaust. Faust is a little harder to take in Vanilla now with the force size limit.

 

@inane.imp I hadn't considered the Midnight Sun Analyst as a proxy before you put it out there, thank you! I was actually looking at Reverend Custodiers for proxying Interventors (though the Interventors are great models, I like the Rev' Cust models a little better) - not sure if I should bother now with the Analyst, but I understand running Interventor's in pairs for Lt shell game is the idea.

I might have missed it, but no one mentioned the little S1 Zondbots.

 

The thing about the Midnight Sun Analyst is that's its not just 1 thing they're useful for - there's an absolute mass of profiles they can proxy for: particularly once you start accounting for Vanilla Mercs. Which is why I always recommend it.

Re: Zondbots. The only way to get them is with the Nomad Support Box. That and the Nomad REMs are in an awkward place because we know that Soon(TM) Nomads are due for new versions of these. How soon is really the question.

 

If they keep to the same release schedule as the first year of C1 we'll see:

Operation + Dire Foes
Beyond
Support Box (Daktari, Clockmaker, Zondbot x2)
Remotes (builds any two S3 Zonds)

If we get the Operation box in April that pegs Support box in June at the earliest I reckon.

 

@colbrook For the Remotes, I really hope it will be the new S4 Vostok, since that's the one that doesn't have a model, though a newer S3 one wouldn't be bad except for those who already own multiples.

 

We might see the Vostok in the Beyond box or as an N4 release, but the Code One Remotes box is going to be the S3 Zonds, especially as the Nomads are the last faction with an N1 era Remotes box.

 

Assuming you don't want to play Tunguska nor Bakunin as sectorials but to boost you Vanilla game:

Common: Support pack (clockmaker, Daktari & 2 servant bots), and some S3 basic remotes (Zonds box can be ignored for remotes from another faction, frankly).

Corregidor: Jaguars box, Mr Massacre (dunno if the single blister still exists, there is a plastic one in the Aristeia core box, and a metal one in the Soldiers of Fortune box for Infinity. Laxmee can be used as a proxy for Jazz if you pick that box). Carlota Kowalski & Moriarty Blister are VERY juicy (peing able to Parachute in the enemy's DZ).

Tunguska: you can start with the Starting Box for a lot of utility. Then the Puppetactica box, and the Interventors box. The Szalamander is the TAG for vanilla when not using the Geckos.

Bakunin: Riot Grrrls box, Morlocks box, Zero Blister (2 models in the same blister). Uberfallkommando box and Zoe & Pi Well blister can wait, since they are more situational.
