Help with first 300pt nomad list

If you like FOs that much you might try to swap the Prowler SO for a Spektr FO ;)
And yes, independent from your mission you should put ar least a doctor in your list

Spoiler: With Doc

Jomads?

Having a big repeater network is a double edged sword since being able to hack everything on the table means also being a target for enemy hacking. Which even Interventors can fail

 

It shouldn't be too much of a problem with the additional KHD. As I always say, if they keep sacrificing KHD troops to get your Lt. they have a predictable and exploitable behavior. All you need to do is not take the Interventor as the Lt. and they will start making a large effort for a small chance at nearly no reward.

As it is most players will not take free KHD rolls back for the lower than average chance at killing the Interventor. If that was like a good idea, using AD3 to drop in the face of the Interventor Lt. and hoping you don't die would also work.

 

Honestly, I'd only add a Doctor and Zondbot. It looks pretty strong outside that.

If you're looking for new things to try after this list, try the Tsyklon and Lunokhod remotes...

 

Spitfire for pushing up and holding ground with Marksmanship and Suppfire.

Feueueurerebach as a sniper and burst 2 EXP ARO piece.

Which one depends on which you feel your list is lacking, best way to find out is to playtest :)

 

Feuerbach is a bit tricky to use and a fundamentally different unit. Like all 2 B weapons 1 B vs. 2 B with similar BS is super risky, so the idea is to not match range bands. High speed and psudo-suppression fire using supportware is a huge advantage with that. You can get kills and pin guys down from unexpected angles. And where the Spitfire can leave targets to make their ARM roll and guts away the Feuerbach usually leaves a corpse.

The Spitfire is probably the most common profile for obvious reasons. It tends to eat orders but that's because it's usually the best thing to spend orders on. Marksmanship+X-Visor+Supp fire+360 visor creates a 48" diam (plus base size) bubble that can't go below 12 BS without visual modifiers and gets 3.

 

Feuerbach is niche but that's a good thing if it's a niche you want. I tend to strap jetpacks to my my machineguns so Feuerbach is my first choice for the Tsyklon. At least until they give one to Hellcats.

 

The Tsyklon (Feuerbach) and 'Assisted Fire' + 'Enhanced Reaction' or 'Overclock' is a nice combo. =)

 

If you're using Overclock from an EVO the 8 point messenger REMs also become half-decent ARO pieces thanks to flash pulse.

 

I think you cannot have 2 supportware programs operating at once on the same remote, unless there are non-Gadget supportware around... In any case, these three you mention are of Gadget category, and thus cannot stack.

That being said, a Burst 2 Feuerbach is quite the deterrance.

 

Don't crush my dreams. =(
Are you sure? I can see 'Assisted Fire' and 'Enhanced Reaction' not working since they are both Gadget-2 but 'Overclock' is EVO?

 

The Rules say: "No!"

That's one reason why I prefer the Spitfire Tsyklon over the other one: Assisted + Supression Fire.

 

No, it's "gadget-EVO", while the others are "Gadget-(1 or 2)". All are Gadget programs, in the end.

I think it's safe to assume the intended use of the coordinated hacking is of offensive and some order-efficiency, but not to stack several supportwares (not only you cannot "receive" more than one Gadget program, you cannot have more than 1 supportware active per hacker, and no more than one Gadget-Evo program active on the table!)

 

I recently picked up a lot of stuff to make the switch from CJC to vanilla Nomads, and am a little lost about how to play it. I've come up with the following lists and would like input:

Am I doing this right?

 

The big (general) Question here is: what do you want to do with these lists, e.g. which mission /against whom do you want to play?

Some thoughts to your first list:

• Do you really want to use your Tsyklon and Taskmaster unsupported?
• Why did you put both Morlocks in the small 2nd CG? They will starve on orders thus I personally prefer one Morlock in each CG.
• Zero Assault Hacker is nice, in particular if you actually want to do useful stuff apart from killing hackers
• Zero FO can be swapped for a Zero (Dep. Rep.) this way you won't need the Moderator with Pitcher (Use that one remaining SWC to put a Reaktion Zond in your list)

Spoiler: my list suggestion

Your second list looks ok so far but remember that you'll need an EVO Hacker in order to use the Taskies in a Duo Fireteam.
Maybe swap the Interventor Killer Hacker for a Zero Killer Hacker mocking an Intruder in you DZ (well, that might be more effective if you have more hidden SWC).
