Starting with the Morat Aggression Force
List#2: A Mixed Bag of Apetricks Lets You Go Bananas!
The Morat Sectorial has access to units that aren’t Morats. This list brings a couple of Combined Army Remotes to the field, next to an army of Morat.
Keep in mind that while the apes ignore retreat and Loss of Lieutenant, the non-Morats do not.
What you need:
Morat Starter Boxed Set
Remotes Boxed Set
Kornak Gazarot Blister
The List:
Morat Vanguard (Combi Rifle)
Morat Vanguard (Paramedic)
Morat Vanguard (HMG)
Morat Vanguard (Missile Launcher)
Morat Vanguard (Hacker)
Kornak Gazarot (MK12)
Raktorak (Combi Rifle + Heavy Flamethrower)
Q-Drone (Plasma Rifle + Total Reaction)
M-Drone (Combi Rifle + FO)
The Vanguard team will be your damage output. Missile Launcher, Heavy Machine Gun, Hacker, combined with the Linkteam bonusses of a 5-man team. Not bad, right? 😉 Good solid backbone of a 200 point force.
Kornak Gazarot is a great Lieutenant option; Strategos Lv1. This ability allows you to replace the Lieutenant Order with a Regular order every turn. Combined with an MK12, a high damage gun, with an average Burst. The higher the Damage value, the better equipped it is to rip through high armoured units. Comes with a light flamethrower as well. He also has No Wound Incapacitation which allows him to stay upright when receiving a wound. Berserk gives Kornak the ability to become a terrible Close Combat beast, and he has the statline to go with it.
Q-Drone and M-Drone are Combined Army’s Remotes. The M-Drone is a toolbox Remote, that comes with Forward Observer, Sensor, Sniffer and a Deactivator. These things are great to counter Camouflage, and expand the Hacker range.
The Q-Drone is the only Remote in the game able to mix Total Reaction with Plasma Rifles. While the Plasma Rifle has a lower burst than the HMG, the Plasma Ammunition causes your target to roll on a BTS and ARM value roll. Saving one of them won’t help you. You need to save both. Mathematically speaking, while you have one less change to hit, every hit is spread out over the BTS ánd ARM values of the Target, causing two rolls. This greatly enhances the change to wound/kill a Target.
Brrrr. That’s amazing. This is a great way to lock of an entire lane if you feel the need.
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. 😉
