Starting with the Morat Aggression Force
List#4: What do you get when you take a monkey to ITS?
This list is focussed on playing mid-tier ITS. 300 points, 6 Special Weapon Cost. ITS is designed to claim objectives with specialists. You NEED specialist to claim objectives. This isn’t the Morat’s strongest division. Many Morat specialists are aggressive, and will probably shoot more than claim objectives.
What do you need?
Morat Starter Boxed Set
Dire Foes: Train Rescue Boxed Set
Yaogat Boxed Set
Med-tech Medchanoid Blister
Kurgat MK12 Blister
Kurgat Autocannon Blister
Zerat Hacker Blister
The List (objectives):
Sogorat Tempest Regiment (Feuerbach)
Yaogat (Combi Rifle + Panzerfaust)
Yaogat (Combi Rifle)
Yaogat (Spitfire)
Yaogat (Boarding Shotgun)
Med-Tech Medchanoid (Doctor + Engineer)
Slave Drone (Servant)
Treitak Anyat (K1 Combi Rifle + Specialist)
Kurgat Engineer (MK12)
Kurgat Engineer (Autocannon)
Zerat (Hacker)
A Yaogat 4-man linkteam to punch your opponent, backed by a couple of decent and killy specialists (we’ve met the Kurgats before) and even some things to keep the Yaogat team alive. Let’s take a look!
Sogorat and Yaogat are there for the real punch. They can’t claim any objectives so their role is to kick face.
Over to the specialist section.
Med-Tech Medchanoid (a.k.a. Dr. Worm) is a non-Morat specialist. Keep in mind it does not benefit from the Morat rule. It’s a handy Doctor + Engineer. Quick movement, good WIP stat, and even comes with a weapon to defend itself and D-Charges to clear those objectives as well.
It comes with a Slave Drone, a Servant that allows the Med-Tech to be a Doctor/Engineer through this little fellow. Put the Slave Drone with the Yaogat, and the Med-Tech can run around the field, still able to revive to occasional Yaogat that falls.
Treitak Anyat is a Specialist trooper, equipped with a K1 Combi Rifle to shred through heavily Armoured units, a Chain-colt for the close quarter shoot outs, smoke grenades for extra MSV2 trickery with the Yaogats en E/M grenades for extra milage. This is a great model, with a great profile! And she can claim objectives too!
The Zerat is the Morat’s only Infiltrator, and she lacks camouflage. Here, you clearly see the lack of subtelty in a Morat force. She is a decent assault hacker though, and comes with Mimetism to help her survive a little bot. Again, D-charges for extra destruction.
We’ve met the Kurgats already in a previous list, and both are specialists that stomp before going after the objectives.
This list clearly shows Morats are there to stomp your opponent, and if you can, claim some objectives. This might feel like hard-mode Infinity if you only play ITS. But don’t worry. you have one of the most determined fighters in the game. That counts for something, right? 😉 Play them to their strenghts, and you’ll run a strong Morat force in no time.
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. 😉
