What to get to start Military Orders

Hello,

I have a friend who is interested in Military Orders, and I wanted to get her some models as a gift. I want to get her 300 points worth of MO for a general list that is slightly more focused on killing (to compliment her aggressive playstyle), but still capable of fulfilling objectives. Additionally, I want to have as few models in the purchase left over if I can (i.e. if I get the Knights Hospitallier box, then I want to be using at least three in a list), and I would prefer to avoid proxying as much as possible because she is still relatively new to Infinity. I also would like to have this list made up of newer models, and although this is not absolutely necessary, it is preferred, and finally, I would like to keep the purchase under $150 US, although cost is of least concern to me.

Our game group is very Ariadna-heavy, although Tohaa and Onyx are also present, and I have already ordered OP: Red Veil and will likely be starting ISS and Hassasins sometime in the near future. Additionally, our tables are very dense, but I am looking into cutting down the amount of terrain on the table so they will be less cluttered in the future and long-range weapons will be more important. We use 20x20 for our missions.

What would you guys suggest getting for her? Is there anything that is not clear about my requirements, because I am more than happy to clarify.

Thanks!

 

Hey guys, thanks for your replies, they were really helpful!

I went ahead and put together a list of what I might get and how it might come together in a game. I have no idea how viable it would be, but luckily we are more casual players, so I don't need it to be 100% "perfect" or competitive, just playable. It uses the MO starter, Magister box, Hospitaller box, and the Peacemaker box. Is there anything that you would change (keeping in mind the criteria that I listed above)? I have not tried to make a MO list before, so I have no clue what I'm doing.

I figured that the Hospitaller/Magister link would do most of the heavy lifting, and thought that an HMG and 3 Panzerfausts was more than enough long range power for the link, while the doctor uses his MULTI rifle to handle closer targets and pushes buttons. The Peacemaker is for Plan B is the link gets pinned down or is out of position, and can get buffed by the Spec. Sergeant hacker through its own repeater (unless I am mistaken). Additionally, I have a Spec. Sergeant MULTI sniper for defense, and a TOFOOS for button pushing and griefing enemy troops. Finally, the Teutonic Knight is there pretty much because he was the only available Lieutenant option, and he comes in the starter box. I suspect that this is not ideal, but its the best that I could come up with, given my requirements. Any suggestions for improvement are appreciated!
