Vanilla Aleph 300 pkt for Frontline

Yuan Yuan, being Irregular, can not be in a Coordinated order with Diomedes if that was your intention.

I prefer to use a cheap repeater (lamedh) or pitcher to toss out Whitenoise to cover Achilles. He can handle pretty much everything else himself.

 

I totally misread your OP and thought you were bringing them on at once. My bad!

 

Achilles does not need smoke, he’s got ODD and BS15. What he needs is either White Noise or Eclipse to counter MSV2+ and get him into his good range to deal with these.

The Danavas was a godsend for Achilles, and ensures that he isn’t easily countered by something like an intruder. Personally I run my Achilles like this :

Group #1 | 10 Models | 10 0 0

Achilles Spitfire Lieutenant | Lieutenant, Nanopulser, Spitfire, Pistol / EXP CCW (75)

It is basically designed to send Achilles to his death. While running both A and Patroclus is usually quite hard for an opponent to handle. It is quite fast and order efficient with abundant MOV 6-4. The net rods serve mostly as a distraction, as the posthuman will jump into group 1 when necessary, but opponents will waste orders shooting them.

I like your use of yuan yuan, those are nasty, but I’d prefer the Garuda for firefights.

 

Id rather put the netrods in group 1 and the repeater bots in group 2, since netrods are equipment and as such you cant switch their order group with a command token.

Such a shame pat+achilles duo is so investment heavy for so little gain, needing the EVO hacker so its half your list.

 

A shame yeah. But it is a fairly useless Fireteam. Both A&P do great on their own, and you get no bonuses from combining them - you’re not even getting the greatest strength of a Fireteam, as none of them are specialists. Instead having an Achilles on either flank, really puts the pressure on an opponent.

The reason the net rods is in group 2 is, that I really do not want to waste command tokens on them. Coordinated orders are a much better use of them - getting specialist up field, setting up SF etc. Having them in the second group, ensures that the PH specialist has orders for objective grabbing, but it also allows me to be careless with them - and as people regard them as easy kills, a single net rod can with a few lucky armour rolls, really annoy an opponent.
