The idea is the first list is my main list where I have lots of specialist cover, a nice active piece in the tag, the noctifer causing issues on ARO and the link can push forward on missions where we need to seize ground. The M-Drone can also push forward if I buff it with the Nexus but ideally the TAG is clearing the way.

The second list is purely designed to hide my Lt and get rid of as many specialists as I can. I am planning to put the Lt marker out of reach of the enemy (on a rooftop, inside a building or miles away from the frontline) and use the link to screen this marker. The TAG and Umbra and Fraacta do all the heavy lifting trying to clean up my opponents list. I fake out the Lt via the Nexus and Umbra so hopefully my opponent wastes orders going for them thinking that is my Lt (in firefight, Decap it is open info). It worked really well in the only test game I have had so far (he wasted a lot of orders chasing the Nexus and Umbra before he realised the marker was the Lt on the last turn.

Not entirely sold on either list at this stage but I can't really think of any other combination that works for these missions. I tried dropping the 2nd list down to 10 orders but I had too many points spare to not grab a 2nd group. Looking for feedback on either or both lists and also any ideas on how you would tackle those missions.

 

I can't build around the table or opponent as it is a massive tournament with players from all over my country. I will see if I can fit in a Q-Drone into the lists, it does look pretty amazing stats wise.

Do you think I need the Malignos FO in both lists (the killing missions don't really have much in the way of objective grabbing) and which profile would you suggest (might be tight on SWC).
