I'm looking at getting into NCA, but only want to play one thing; Bolts with an Uhlan. Anyone have any success running them?
Sure. Nothing wrong with a Bolt link team and an Uhlans. Try it out though and see what you think of it. What format are you playing in? That also determines a lot regarding link composition. (YAMS, 20x20, or ITS). breyta: If you don't already own the models, proxy the ever-loving shit out of them until you find what works for you, then buy.
I’ve fielded both independently and never been deeply saddened by it. Never fielded them in the same list, although I reckon it could be interesting. The Bolts want to play up close, the Uhlan wants to mow things down from range. Throw in a Hexa KHD, Machinist, Deva Sensor Lt, and you should have a couple points and SWC to play around with the 10th trooper. Since the Uhlan is very expensive and Bolts aren’t the cheapest troopers, you will probably be limited to 10 orders. How you kit your Bolts is going to be the trick. I would personally avoid the ML and MSR - your Uhlan has that covered. Drop Bears are fun, and you probably want a Specialist in the link so Hacker or Paramedic. My team would be Spitfire, Paramedic, Drop Bears, 2x BSG for maximum close range fun*. *Fun for you not for your opponent.
Maybe something like this? If you love Bolts, I recomend a 6th Bold to reform your link with a command token if when the first Bolt goes down.
