ITS Escalation tournament playing Onyx

Hello everyone,

I will participate in my first tournament in October and I am trying to put together my 3 lists. Until now, I was just putting some list together for fun but thats different, I am going to play against competitives players. So here are the rules and scenarios of the tournament:

Rules: Spec-Ops, Escalation

• Round 1, Decapitation (200pts)
• Round 2, Firefight (300pts)
• Round 3, Deadly Dance (400pts)

Having said that, here is my 3 list with some explanation:

Decapitation 200pts
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

10
UNIDRON Plasma Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 24)
UNIDRON Missile Launcher, Light Shotgun / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (1.5 | 20)
UNIDRON Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 14)
UNIDRON Plasma Carbine / Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 14)
NEXUS Lieutenant (Specialist Operative) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16)
XEODRON Red Fury, Blitzen / Heavy Pistol. (1 | 59)
STALDRON Flash Pulse / Knife. (0 | 0)
Corax Spec-Ops (12 XP) (CC:14, Doctor, Engineer) Combi Rifle, Light Shotgun, Spitfire / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14)
SLAVE DRONE Electric Pulse. (0 | 3)
FRAACTA Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28)
ÍMETRON . (0 | 4)
ÍMETRON . (0 | 4)

4 SWC | 200 Points

First mission is killing, the Xeodron will be the data tracker and the last miniature to be deploy. He can take some hit, but I should be careful of hackers. I am not sure at 200pts I will find a lot.
I choose a Corax Spec-ops because of the Shavastii rule and the fact that I will not suffer the loss of the lieutenant (scenario rules). He carries a Spitfire for some firepower. The Fraacta is here to arrive where less expected.

Firefight 300pts
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1 10

Q-DRONE Plasma Rifle / Electric Pulse. (1 | 25)

6 SWC | 300 Points

This mission is mostly killing with panoplies. I am not sure what this list is suppose to do. I never played this scenario. I try to do something different, keeping the good Unidron fireteam and using the Fraacta to hunt the Data tracker. The Noctifer is a nasty surprise.

8 SWC | 400 Points

This mission is quadrant, and the goal of the fireteam Haris (Xeodrons + Samaritan) will be to control my quadrant to give me more point and contesting the opponent quadrant. The Kerr-Nau is here to hunt down hackers will the Fraacta can drop anywhere needed and also contest.

I only played Decapitation before, the other 2 are new for me and my list might not be optimised for it. I have access to almost every model for Onyx (except Sphynx, Overdron and Suryat), so, if you have any advise, change you will made, anything really that can help don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Thanks a lot.

 

There is no option for Nexus SpecOps in Infinity Army Builder, only Treitak and Corax. Where can I find it?
