Starting with the Morat Aggression Force
List#1: Morat on a Budget!
Let’s have a look at Budget Morat list. Focussing on the starter and adding to it.
At 200 points, there is a limited amount of things you can bring, but it is a good point-range to start off your Infinity experience, learning the basics of your forces, the army and the mechanics.
What do you need?
Morat Starter Boxed Set
Morat Vanguard SWC Boxed Set
Gaki Boxed Set
The List:
Morat Vanguard (Combi Rifle)
Morat Vanguard (Combi Rifle)
Morat Vanguard (Paramedic)
Morat Vanguard (Missile Launcher)
Morat Vanguard (Hacker)
Sogorat Tempest Regiment (Feuerbach)
Raktorak (Combi + Heavy Flamethrower)
–
Oznat (Combi Rifle)
Hungries: Pretas
Hungries: Gakis
Hungries: Gakis
With three boxed sets, this list is a good purchase.
The Morat Vanguard do exactly like I said in the previous page: link them up, put a good weapon in the hands of one of them and you have yourself a solid fist. I went with a Missile Launcher, as the Explosive Ammo gets the most out of the added Burst values of the Linkteam. Even in ARO your opponent will have to eat two rolls of Explosive Ammo (every hit causing 3 ARM saves). Ouch!
The Hacker is there to defend the Heavy Sogorat, and perhaps to screw up some of your opponent’s tactics.
The Oznat can link with her Hungries but seeing as the Hungries provide Irregular orders, a small combat group like this won’t work great. Better to set them loose and let your opponent deal with this first distraction that needs to be dealt with.
The Hungries come in two sub-species; Gakis and Pretas. Identical statlines, except the Gakis can explode and are only equipped with Close Combat Weaponry. The Pretas miss the Explode ability, and gain a Chain Rifle.
If you come orders short in this Combat Group, you can always use Command Tokens to change the Irregular to Regular. 😉
Use the Raktorak as a Camo-counter, and the Sogorat as the tank he’s meant to be.
Since the Oznat can run a Fireteam of Hungries, even in vanilla, can you run them as well as a link of say…… Yaogats?
You mean Proxying? Yes, you can.
But the Oznat/Hungies combination only works with those units. Yaogats can only link with Yaogats.
Sorry, I phrased that question incorrectly. What I’m trying to figure out is this:
The Oznats Control Device allows her to form a link team of Hungries. Does this count toward the one team limit? If so, is she useless in vanilla since you can’t use fire teams/links vanilla? Seems like they wouldn’t restrict a models use like this.
But the Hungries Control device rules do state that they follow all the rules for Link teams, so I’m not sure
I guess I kind of answered my own question. Seems silly to take her just for smoke in vanilla since you’re paying for the device
It’s not uncommon in Infinity to have a unit being a sub-par choice in vanilla, while it shines in its sectorial (often together with the link-team rules). For example; Corregidor’s Wildcats, NeoTerra’s Bolts, Tunguska’s Grenzers. All are outclassed by other profiles in vanilla, but have a solid place in their own sectorial.
CA has some more striking examples, because it really is a ‘combined’ army. The two current sectorial differ so much, it’s hard to imagine them even being the same faction.
Its clearly based off the already existing Celestial Guard w/ Kuang Shi Control Device.
However they couldn’t or didn’t retcon the Hungries to require a Oznat to be enlisted before you could add Hungries to your lists.
I’ve used her in vanilla a bunch myself. At 20 pts. She is only 4 pts. More than a base vanguard and is a BEAST in close combat for that cost… the S-LGL is amazing at guarding her own advance and for your msv carrying brethren (including the always fun charontid and yaogat) and also helps when your witch soldiers botch their grenades or need to move faster(not using first order to ‘nade and just going mov-mov under cover of the lgl)
Wait what?
No you cannot form a link team using an Oznat and Hungries in a Vanilla force. That is 100% against the rules of Fireteams and has not being retconned or FAQ’ed changed in anyway allowing you too. Excluding Tohaa who do have the special caverat Fireteam: Tohaa allowing for Fireteam: Tohaa in there Vanilla force and multiple Fireteam: Tohaa at
You CAN enlist as many linkable troops as you want but you cannot have more than ONE x Fire Team: Link Team operating at the same time as laid out in the Human Sphere rules.
The Combined Armies Sectorial Forces so the MAF (Morat Aggression Force) or the SEF (Shasvastii Expeditionary Force DO NOT have access to Fireteam: Tohaa, Enomotarchos or Haris these allow for the extra Fireteams of various types but it’s specifically tells you in there rule sets.
So I’m sorry based on what you have written thus far isn’t an option.
What VisOne said is true; no linking in vanilla… I missed that part of your comment.
Only one linkteam per army if they lack Haris, Enomotarchos or FT:Tohaa rules.
The Sogarat is 4-4 so he is pretty much average move speed for N3
Oh, did I mix them up with the Azra’il’s statline as they share Silhouettes? My bad. 😉 I tend to play Haqq more than CA armies.
Doesn’t the Oznat also make the Hungries in link regular (otherwise they would be hella bad in link, as don’t irregular orders being spent break link?)
I would love that, but I couldn’t find any rule supporting that.. :/
you may want to re-read the rules for the Hungries Control Device then, because it explicitly states that
“Thanks to the Control Device, when the Fireteam is formed,
the Gakis and the Pretas become Regular. Moreover, following
the Fireteam rules, all the members of the Fireteam become
Not Impetuous.”
Ah, thanks! I’ve read the Wiki about it, and couldn’t find that part. Will edit soon. 😉
