Druze: How to start. Looking for plan.

Saito, Hunzakuts, Peacemakers, Fiddler, and Yuan yuan would be priority. The Peacemakers are extremly prsctical for projecting repeater coverage in the midfield and are a great piece to trade with. Hunzakuts are almost an autoinclude for the mines, the forward deploy and the deployable repeaters.
scarface or am Anaconda as Triphammer, Bounty Hunter, a HI trooper to use as Digger ( I used a mobile brigada Multirifle as basis for a conversion, wu Ming would work great too), Wolfgang and bashi bazouk are nice too.

 

I second everything Fed4ykin said, but i'll also say that Fiddler and Wildcard Bounty Hunters are a great addition to a fledgling merc team. I've had great success with Peacemakers and Bashi Bazouks. In my lists (and this is just me) i prefer the Anaconda over the Triphammer.

 

You can get some good second hand mining TAGs for cheap and retrofit them. I heard some Diggers are bored and looking for work as well.

 

I would second getting saito, a yuan yuan .
REMS can be really useful, a box of Pano REMS is worth picking up. If you find a box of aragoto going cheap they make excellent motorised bounty hunters which are cheap, fast and deadly

 

Druze Saito is great, I do love the fact Druze and not JSA have him!

 

Hunzakuts. These guys make scoring and defending your midfield a whole lot easier.

Peacemaker. Pretty much every list. Great passive speed bump, forward hacking area, throw away alpha strike, and I just recently counter deployed a Speculo in my Deployment zone with one. The Heavy Shotgun is nearly an auto include for me.

Diggers (something to proxy as them since there aren't any models yet). These guys are tough, cheap, defend your DZ well, refill your fireteams with great bonuses and sometimes Booty will make them unbelievable deals at 14 points.

Saito Togan. This guy is really fragile, but capable of winning games all on his own with infiltration, smoke, TO camo, Hidden Deployment, and specialist operative. He's also a payload to kill something hard, though he often dies in the process.

Pathfinders. Especially this ITS season with the Tachimoto rule, these guys are great for the points.

Fugazis. Cheap, fast, regular orders, flash pulses, and repeater coverage.

Yuan Yuan. Smoke is important. You can start these guys in your Deployment Zone and get a lot of value, they don't need to combat jump or parachute.

If you want to run Scarface (or other TAGs) get the Kameel EVO to help protect from hackers with Fairy Dust. You don't need Scarface with Druze, but Druze are vulnerable to having a whole battle plan fail with one bad FtF roll in the active turn. Scarface lets you be aggressive without such a harsh penalty for one failure.

Eventually you're going to want a Clipper. X-visor tossed pitchers followed up by Spotlight and the Druze LGL or the Clipper's Guided Missile is a strength of the Druze.

Arslan is a notable mention as a good pick up.

Edit: Clipper, not Cutter.

 

I proxy Hunzakuts with Haquislam models I like with the appropriate weapons to be honest.

 

If you carefully cut the LFT off the Chasseur Rifle/LFT miniature, you get a perfekt Hunzakut proxy
