After a decade of "I will never play aliens in Infinity" i tested for fun and i think i could like the shasvastii style, but i was said that the true shasvastii players dont use fireteams... Is this the way? If im going to play Shasvastii without fireteams, why dont go to vanilla CA? ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 1 NOCTIFER Missile Launcher / Assault Pistol, CC Weapon.

Double q-drone, 2-3 noctifiers, Minelayer Speculo (which if I understand right can lay a mine inside the opponent DZ if it passes the Wip roll.... trollolo fireteams on roofs) Don't know if those options are actually worth it, but none of them are in Vanilla CA.
You can play with fire teams in shasvastii! The can have some fun haris teams with a Gwailo, Mdrone, and Victor. A jayth haris is a good turn two fire team when the opponent has moved up the board. And for defensive fire teams, a cheap nox fire team with a tdrone can be scary. The great thing about shasvastii compared to the other sectorals is that we don't need to use a fire team to be effective.
Sheskiin + Nox core fireteam? Our group tends to play on hyper-dense battlefields with fewer long-ranged sniper corridors. But yeah, I often play many, many camo pieces, no teams in Shas, just cause I can!
Fireteams are workable in Shas but equally they are perfectly useable without them which I really like as a design. I'm not a huge fan of basic infantry core teams, I find them pretty ineffective these days so Haris teams tend be what I've used. Gwailo + a couple of wildcards or the drone, or Sheskiin in a Jayth team are two things I've tried out.
