Open with Army 4

Three Infiltrating specialists and the Medtech should make for a credible amount of specialists while the Noctifer, Q-Drone and the two Speculos should make for a believable threat to an enemy force's health. For a more killy mission, I would take away the FO from a Shrouded and change the Malignos into the monofilament mine version.

Sounds good.

The only issue I can see is that your Lt. might be rather obvious, if your opponent knows Shas a little bit. A Caliban instead of the Obsidon would fix it, but they are much slower, so not really attractive.

[Math Mathonwy]

Aye, Caliban's 4-2 just doesn't compare to the Medtech's 6-4, unfortunately. And since Inferior Infiltration is so weird, it's a bit difficult to rely on that, either. Which is a shame because I really want to like the Caliban.

I suppose I could deploy the Noctifer Spitfire as a non-TO Camo marker to at least make the opponent guess a bit...

Is it just me, or can't you open the list in Army 4 not anymore by just clicking the link beneath. Really annoying.

Something that came to my mind is, that you just could switch the FO and Hacker on the Malignos and the Shrouded. Costs exactly the same, but the Malignos has a higher WIP, and the advantage of a juicy hacking target just stepping inside his range by accident.
And its a little tougher, so you might loose it not that fast.

I just checked and yes, that's true. And annoying, yes!

A great idea, thank you!

I think it is a great list, however, I have two reservations. A two Speculo list is not going to make you any friends (as many have said, a two Speculo list is a bit NAFF).
Secondly, while you have two Mono-blades, I think these are very flaky tools when encountering TAGs or HI.

So in order to address both these points, I would recommend changing one Speculo to a Malignos with monofilament Mines. It will make your list more versatile.
