Hi all. I will play Decapitation next weekend against one of the following: - Nomads - CA (could be Onyx) - Haqqislam - PanO Nomad and CA is the same player. We will define the teams by lot. We will also use "limited insertion" rule. I have build the following list and would appriciate to get some feedback, tipps where to improve. The idea is to postion the Taquel in a good position and the Chaksa close to him because of baggage. Using the Gorgos Squad as a line of defense. Two triads to engage the enemy (Hatail for possible hackers) and the Sakiel as Medic. Does that make sense? Thank you Cueamen Tohaa ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 2 TAQEUL Lieutenant (Advanced Command) Spitfire, SymbioBugs / Pistol, Knife.

Switch the Leutnant. Make neema your lt and the taquel a CoC you. You have then one more specialist and a CoC dude Tbh I just prefer the CoC taquel layout because he is a wip 14 specialist
For limited insertion I think it's important to have either strong ARO pieces or mid field that can really deny enemies from making aggressive advances. I'd try to switch up some of the Spitfires with Sukeul ML's or even a Gao Rael sniper in a Triad. I think your Gorgos Spitfire can win most gun fights. It's when defensive mods and range are in play you need other tools to match or counter them. Also if you're a fan of 4 Symbiomates I'd take the mates instead of bombs. Extra specialists and having an extra mate means another order in which your opponent has to burn them off. In LI orders are so valuable it can be a play to make. Granted the Gorgos loses the ability to bomb but I think you gain more in terms of wound saturation. Tohaa ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 9 1 1 GORGOS Squad Chaksa Peripheral A .

I think as a faction tool it can be a force multiplier especially in LI. Makauls are nice but again in LI you're not generally wanting to use orders to throw smoke. I'd consider having the extra SWC that Neema brings with her breaker profile to bring some nasty ARO pieces to bear letting the Gorgos shine.
Thank you for your hints. I like the idea to use Neema. I think I will take your list and give it a try on Sunday.....
I am a big fan of the Taquel Lt with Viral Rifle in Decapitation, even non LI. Its Symbiobugs are great as causing your opponent to use extra orders to get to it, (and sometimes causing wounds or Targeting them), and the Viral rifle has a lot of stopping power.
