Hey guys, I am currently planning out my OSS for an escalation league I'll be organizing in January. My goal is to paint new models and avoid using my old, already painted ones. I haven't done this type of event before, so any input in terms of lists is highly appreciated. We'll do one game day a month with 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 / (400) points. First round is without models worth more than 50 points, but no further restrictions are applied outside of a general "be nice". Our missions will be easier versions of ITS missions. This is my idea so far: Operations Subsection of the S.S.S. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 5 SHAKTI Lieutenant Hacker (Killer Hacking Device. UPGRADE: Sucker Punch) Mk12, E/Marat / Heavy Pistol, Knife. (0 | 40) CSU (Specialist Operative) Rifle + Light Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) PROXY Mk.5 (Forward Observer) 2 Submachine Guns, Nanopulser, E/M Grenades / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) PROXY Mk.4 Heavy Rocket Launcher, Submachine Gun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (2 | 20) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) 2 SWC | 98 Points Open in Infinity Army Here my idea is to give people the chance to get used to posthuman rules early on. Also I like to have Shakti to get a Hacker early on.

(0 | 8) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army This is the final list. I might switch up combat groups a bit if that is a thing in our group then. I can't really envision how this list will play like. Choosing as many new models as possible certainly messed with my list building. I also wanted to keep things WYSIWYG to make it easier for newer players (while encouraging them to proxie whatever is necessary), so neither Daysus nor Naga specialists are a thing. I'd like put a Davanas, but I ran out of SWC somewhere on the way. Possibly this list leans too far towards killing and would need more specialists, what to you think? Cheers!
