Your Lt. is both fragile and obvious, but if you can protect him then it's ok. You might be better off with Mk.1 Engineer than Doc, though.
Yeah i was on the fence on the Mk1, if she would be babysitting the Dakini or the Asura, since a Sophotect is way too expensive... Alternatively i thought i could get a Lt Asura and CoC Shukra since the Fireteam:Duo is only to deliver the Asura pair up the board faster after all, there's no benefit to staying in Duo once bullets start flying

(4) 0 SWC | 205 Points Open in Infinity Army I thought this would be a fun base for a list, not sure what else would go in or how you would spend the SWC, but that is a very large number of bots. While playing around I noticed that list variety feels very large because of how expensive everything is. In OSS once you pick a link the lists start to look and feel really different, and sometimes even choosing to take or not take one model. A list with an Asura feel a lot different from a list without one. Even which Asura can be important. It just feel like a huge variety of lists, in Haqq I can start from different points and still end up with similar feeling lists just because of how easy it is to work in the much cheaper units.
The intent wasn't to have a fireteam of them. I just noticed that you could take 4 kiranbots and 5 devabots. 9 disposable templates guarding your DZ was kind of silly so I wanted to share. (Vanilla can get ten if you include Scylla and Drakios' bots). There are still 100 points left over, so you could fill in the list with a few different things. A Dakini link, maybe a Yadu Haris. Plenty of SWC too :p
I posted a list with Asura HD+ LT, Dakini Core Link and Proxies on page 3, but decided to go for a different setup for my first games with Vedic/OS. This was my list and we played two games on "Frontline". This mission sucks so hard, lol.

Im a big fan of (Boarding) Shotguns in a core Link and the CSUs were an absolute beat. The BS is more devastating close up, the SO with Light Shotgun and Rifle has some more versatility. To have some back up to fill the ranks of the core link is important and I think thats the advantage of this list compared to the one with the very expensive Asura. The Dakini Link is the main work horse and these guys get shit done exceptionally well. I added the Deva with MSV2, because I always need a reliable source of MSV. Posthumans solid as ever, staple for me. I thought about swapping the Engi for the Hacker and the Deva Hacker for Sophotect. But then I lose one body for the core link.... Dart, I dont know. Needs more tabletime. Nagas minelayer or KHD sounds like a good alternative to me. The mines have a good synergy with the drop bears from the Yadu. Apply mines to face! Yadu and Shukra feels too expensive, but the drop bears allow for some midfield control and protection. Yeah, Yadu is expensive, but I like the weapon loadout and FD1 is a nice feature in ITS. Right now I dont see Shakti over Yadu, MK12 is nice, but I prefer hackers with marker state. Has anyone some experience with her?

What's your favorite Marut list? I have my rabbit painted up, based, and I think it looks decent. I don't know how to build a list around it, though.
Well, when you take a Marut there's not much space left for proper backups, support structure, etc. The best way is of course to make full use of Strategos Lt. and build the list around that: We Have Reserves ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 MARUT Lieutenant (Strategos L3) MULTI HMG, Heavy Flamethrower, Nanopulser / AP CCW.

I've got a bit of a weird one, a rough idea I'd like feedback on. Prompted by discussion in the Rudra thread.

(0 | 4) 5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army Not sure if I want to ditch the MSR Dakini for an LGL one... but the idea behind that weird-looking Group 2 is that the Asura forms a Haris with the two non-Hacker Devas, in order to deliver themselves up the field. The Hacker Deva scooches along behind nervously, hoping no-one takes a shot at them. Once they're in the midfield, the Haris breaks up and reforms with the Hacker Deva safely inside, allowing for the Asura to go a-Rambo. I've been thinking about maybe ditching the Hacker Deva in favour of a Multi Rifle Deva, to give the Deva Haris a credible ARO threat, instead of the Specialist and BSG, but I really like that BSG in a Link. I was torn on Engie/Doctor MkI, but have tentatively decided on Engie, since they could fix the Dakinis and remedy some of the more annoying statuses on the Asura. If I further develop this list, and the concept of the Deva chauffeurs to the midfield, the HD+ LT2 Asura might be replaced with the Spitfire LT2 Asura, as a HD+ Asura can more effectively deliver herself with Cybermask than a Spitfire Asura can. That would mean that the Spitfire Deva would be the tag-along, and I'd really be torn between the Specialist BSG Deva or the Multi rifle credible ARO threat Deva as the third of the deilvery mechanism, since the Haris wouldn't have the Asura as a Specialist. It's a work in progress, but what do you think? EDIT: In fact, here's an alternate version with a few more orders, that applies most of those proposed changes all at once - probably not the best idea, certainly not the most measured approach, but I was interested in how differently it looks like it would play, while still keeping some of the same ideas.

1st official game in a ITS league, participating as OSS player. 1st game round in "The Grid", against TAK. I won the game 8-0 points just focused only to steal and destroy 4-5 anntenas and mark more than my enemy. Dart&Andromeda are awesome adds in OSS, just amazing to striking the first blows, specially if you reserve Andromeda as last model deploy and decided to use: adv. deploy1, infiltration mode or superior infiltration to stuck the heavy attack piece of the enemy, or simply go to push the antennas near on the enemy side, if she survives on the next turn, just go destroy on CC with D-Charges, then Dart just clean the midfield or striking the deploy zone on her last breath. Powerfull list i made on this mission 18 orders. Also some SWC heavy weapons too and a single hacker... without engineer options, i don't think you want it, already the mk2 can finish the job destroying all anntenas if you lose the ML rebot and sniper dakini, plus here in the Grid you don't have classified to do, just only blows the enemy HVT with Andromeda or Dart or a simply FO REM with shock ammo and high weapon burst.
