Agreed on the Auxbots; mine have claimed a Charontid, Wallace and too many annoying Skirmishers to count. Two Auxilia feature in almost every list...
I've always been of the opinion that the ITS mini should be an ABH, every year, with a good bit of effort into making the sculpt fit the seasonal...
Mercs also disproportionately benefit factions that their profiles support; for example PanO uses pretty much only the Krakot, ever, while Yu Jing...
Problem is where it's going- Mercenaries are getting more and more common, more optimised and more integrated. We already have a game where it's...
You get the tool (suppressing armour brick), it's just not as reliable as other factions' equivalents. While a Nomad TAG has a chance of running...
To expand on this, Nomads are *supposed* to excel in sneaky underdog play (Hacking, soft control, sneaking with markers etc.) at the cost of their...
My usual tricks for handling those issues are 1.) use Tiger Soldiers (which are excellent) and 2.) Redundancy. 2-3 Combat Jump guys really...
I find them excellent value on AD profiles; between the Suppressive Fire access, outranging templates and shotguns yet still being able to exploit...
For 34 points it's a steal for both roles. I've seen it pull weight in Vanilla Nomads. The only things it doesn't do are anti-trooper CC (it busts...
Some of that is excusable in that SWF is second to maybe NCA in poor access to good single units and Skirmisher-style scoring while WB has most of...
Might be a local difference then; I've seen exactly one table outside of terrain scrapped together out of spares for a tournament that was open...
It isn't exactly as bad as WarmaHordes, but bear in mind this unit is priced like a Celestial Guard. You get a lot more value out of a...
Pretty sure he was talking about the strict CC capabilities, which he's kinda right about. N4 throws the baby out with the bathwater when it comes...
Nomads and PanO don't either. Shellgame is a complete waste of at least three valuable troop slots for about 25% more cost than normal (REM)...
Shell-game style obfuscation can still work- it's practically the entire defensive kit for most PanO and Nomad LTs. 3 Fusiliers deployed...
In that Haris I'd want a Bolt KHD, personally. Less synergy in ARO, but midfield Hackers are the bane of NCA's ridiculously over-Hackable lineup....
Uprising had a pretty big community effect too. I remember YJ was actually extremely popular among some big, positive forum voices before the...
I once played a L&S round back in N3, my NCA vs. OSS. Since Andromeda was still a total waste of points at the time, the fight devolved into one...
I'd probably take Morans in most factions, actually. Lack of marker protection on the Repeater profile isn't great, but all profiles are...
I'd argue it's still not ideal that she's managed to render Interventors obsolete in most lists. The new thing with Hackers getting SMGs really...
