Hello fellow Posthumans I have a league coming up starting at 150pts and I decided to go for Steel Phalanx (my first love). I know many things have changed, but I still believe that SP has a lot to say. I have a couple of hypothesis: one list that works on sheer damage and one list that is a bit more tactical: Hammer list ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4 1 AJAX FTO MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / AP Heavy Pistol, EXP CC Weapon(PS=4). (0 | 39) ATALANTA (Surprise Attack [-3], Hidden Deployment) MULTI Sniper Rifle ( | TinBot: Discover [ReRoll]) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 38) MYRMIDON OFFICER (Chain of Command) Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser, Eclipse Grenades / Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5).

(0.5 | 37) 2.5 SWC | 145 Points Open in Infinity Army and the second: Scalpel list ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 6 MACHAON (Lieutenant) Combi Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5). (0.5 | 37) PHOENIX Heavy Rocket Launcher, Nanopulser / Heavy Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5).

(0 | 18) 3 SWC | 150 Points Open in Infinity Army Consider that the league (narrative) will have most likely every faction and as far as missions they have not been released, but I think they are rolled every time. Please Comment. Thank you!
I would strive to have at least 7 orders at 150 points level. There are missions where you will need a lot of actions just to press buttons and do objective things, and they don't scale down for small games. Consider bringing some netrods, a flash pulse bot and a warcor; They are cheap and provide fuel for the big pieces to do their thing.
If I am not mistaken the Warcor is an irregular order so doesn't bring much. Best I can think of is Thorakiti(FO) 13 replaced for Lamed/Netrod 7+6=13pts so that goes to 7 and with a repeater: Scalpel List ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 7 MACHAON (Lieutenant) Combi Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5). (0.5 | 37) PHOENIX Heavy Rocket Launcher, Nanopulser / Heavy Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5).

(0.5 | 31) THORAKITES (Hacker, Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Nanopulser ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 19) EKDROMOS Chain Rifle(+1B) / AP Heavy Pistol, DA CC Weapon(PS=5). (0 | 18) NETROD . (0 | 6) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse / PARA CC Weapon(-3). (0 | 7) 3 SWC | 150 Points Open in Infinity Army
Short to mid ranged weapons. A 150pt battle is supposed to be on a 24x32 board. HMGs and Snipers will find themselves at 0 range or even -3 pretty quickly. But HRL and Spitfires are king. Below are two teams but the Makhe can be switched for Myrm sptfire. I like the Makhe because he has MSV and smoke can be a nightmare on a small board. Also you can shoot through your own. He also has a K1 for anyone bringing HI. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 7 1 THORAKITES Submachine Gun, Light Rocket Launcher / Pistol, CC Weapon.

These are good suggestions, I only have 2 caveats: - Lieutenant is not hidden - Warcor is hardly needed considering it's now irregular (it was regular in N3 and somebody thought that it was too low for a reg order to survive) The second one has an entire Enomotarcos and that's good, unfortunately it's not very clear what happens after the 1st mission ;) (how you grow, can you exchange... questions like that are unanswered ATM) Thank you Space Ranger!
Unfortunately that's most Lt. in SP. Your options are even more limited at 150pts. Are you doing one where you can't change what you took before? Meaing you can only add to what you already had?
