I have played The Grid with generic Nomads and I found the lure of cheap orders with FO and guided missiles... interesting. So... Who would dare to run a list like this?

I have a somewhat similar vanilla list I have played with. My intent originally was to use it in Transmission Matrix in an upcoming tournament. Draw out killer hackers with some Coordinated Order Hacks and then rain down fire.

Well, the fun part is about using the greeks there with 2 Thorakitai fireteams... (I would have gone with FOUR Thorakitai Fireteams of 4 members if we had that damn Thora Subofficer... Hector is not suited to make a third link, since he costs too much it's a choice between SWC and Points :S). Also, the list I linked is a little off, the Guided Missile Launcher should be on Group 1 XD
I will, but not before painting the new thorakitai figures. I fear that 3 4-man thorakitai fire team aren't possible due to AVA 6. The list seems pretty solid to me, although its myrm link seems a bit waste of 93 points... Why not try Alke as lieutenant an putting Eudoros as Enomotarch, something like this Falange de Acero ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GRUPO 1 8 SGTO.

Other thoras link go marking and breaking antennas with its feuerbach (you could consider even the paramedic here) Samek to do what sameks do and Myrm link to go on rampage over the enemy. You lose an order and thorakites with marksman rifle, but gain a much more hittier myrm link... You know, just a suggestion.
Quite strong list!!! Love it Didn't you feel short of orders in Post humans group? It's your only source of anti material weapons and only 5 orders.
I did not notice much tightness last time I played it. The Posthumans work well for keeping the order pool in a good spot. I was thinking about changing the groups up a little bit thought. I need to get all the hackers in one group to really take advantage of the ability to do Coordinated hacks. Especially in Transmission Matrix where I can force them to make tough choices in their AROs. I'm not so happy about the way the specialists are almost all in group one here, but it does work a little better. Maybe go 9/6 and move the Krakot to group 2 as well That Day ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 1 NAGA Combi Rifle, Monofilament Mines / Pistol, Knife.

Alke as Lt is good in low-points matches, but anywhere else... she is the point of the Thorakitai link, so very exposed Lt (and I was short on SWC to place the officer as CoC, plus I needed a hacker to place the Samekh). As for the 2 Thorakitai links: [Enomotarcos + 3]X2 means two 4 man fireteam links XD. Sure, you have no net if Thrasimedes and Alke get dossed, but such is the price for the greeks. I would be much happier with a Thorakitai subofficer with Alke's profile, but a Multi rifle/Marksman combi option (and no CoC, no ODD, no smoke... but maybe Dogged or NWI) for 20-24 pts. It would help to stop making Thrasimedes so "autoinclude" as Thora enomotarcos (Alke takes too much SWC)
