Hi all,
Brand new player here. Fell in love with the models for the new CA starter, so I'm diving in and looking to build them up to 300pts. I think I understand the basics enough to start army construction, but I'd love to run my selections, and the reasoning behind them, past some more experienced players. Comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks in advance!
Combined Army 299/300; S.W.C: 6
2X Unidron Batroids - K1 Combi - I choose the K1 combi over the PC in order to open up suppressive fire. S12 while ignoring armor also allows them to take pot shots at anything on the table.
Unidron Batroid - Plasma Sniper Rifle - Cheap sniper rifle with two firing profiles, can be given Marksman:2 via hacking.
Fraacta Drop Unit - Spitfire - Combat jumping spitfie for backfield shenanigans and immediate pressure on my opponent.
Umbra Legates - H+, Boarding Shotgun - Short-ranged + melee pressure advancing up board while using hacking device to get Imp:2 and/or White Noise on himself, and buffing the batroids. Specialist.
Maakrep Tracker - HMG - HMG + MSV2 + Sensor:1 looks great on paper for removing hidden threats. Automedkit is gravy.
Charontid - Lt, Sepsitor+, Tinbot, Plasma Rifle - Durable Lt option with all kinds of goodies. Tinbot Deflector helps with hacking attempts. Provides additional pressure from a different angle. The potential sad-face on my opponent the day I get a lucky Sepsitor on his entire link team = pure win.
Shrouded - FO, Combi, AntiP Mines - Infiltrate + FO to help the rest of the army by dispensing the "targetted" condition. Mines. TO: Camo + Automedkit means he'll be around for a while. Specialist.
Daturazi - Chain Rifle, Grenades, Smoke Grenades - Cheap V:dogged pressure with chaingun and MA:4. Smoke grenades to assist moving up the board.
R-Drone - Repeater for the batroids, sniffer, and a cheap order. Mimetism and flash pulse for some defensive protection.
Preta - Cheap V:dogged pressure with a chaingun and super-jump. Will most likely work in tandem with the Daturazi for mid-field pressure / distraction.
