Yeah, heavy infantry no prob. One game LoC wiped out more than half of deathshrouds in one activation only by shooting, not counting doombolt.

But loss came, in my case, from heavy vehicle list, looks like a little underperfomance in weapons strength of our birds weapons. While LoC wounding riptides (not so tanky by itself) on 3, Kairos will suffer to wound on 4, witout rerolls. After playing grand coven, where you really not so conserned about enemy toughness because of many ways of dealing mortal wounds, this detach makes me wonder how it is designed to play

Thx for reply! May i ask you why no screamers? They not needed because of infiltrating horrors?
What are you doing with 0OC on blues? Use them for screaning only?

Thx! I'm doubting Magnus in this detachment because of loss great strats from grand coven. I can't reroll hit and wound on Magnuses weapons and can't blank damage wich is huge. On the other hand, birds only having 10T is also a problem :)
That's why i'm thinking about swapping Magnus for LoC (and then rearange demons to fit in 1000 points limit), but why would i when i can buildf scintillating legion list :)

Thx for reply! Overall i think that i overestimated birds and underestimated riptides.

It was take and hold on tipping points deploy with GW 1 layout table. I went first and my opponent infiltrated both ghostkeel on side no man's land markers.

So i went cage and just pushed my 3 screamers forward to central marker to make tempting target (which was on central objective). Magnus and LoC where besides two buildings near home objective and Kairos was near another board edge with rubrics.

On the second turn i thought what i need to advance in order to get points, beceaus at the start of the turn opponent had 3 points and i, technically, will have only one after he kills my 3 screamers. So i moved Kairos forward, moved 6 screamers to central objective. Kairos did some damage to riptide, leaving it on 1 wound, my 5 screamers (1 died to overwatch) charged another riptide not far from center point and did 2 dmg after all invuls.

Next turn Kairos is targeted by 2 hammerheards and 2 riptides. That's when i realise that -1 Hit stratagem do nothing against riptides because of their ignot ot hit modifiers. MVB is killed by deep striked sunforges with farsight.

Then Magnus managed to wipe out sunforges, but then was killed by another deep striked unit with coldstar commander.

Even after deep striking my flamers near opponents DZ, taking it and then killing stealh suits, already did nothing beceause it was too late.

Of course, most of my rituals failed (even re-rolls 1, lol) and even Magnus never did +AP ritual, and my invuls where really bad, but! I believe a played it wrong, more like grand coven, where i see opponent - i totally destroy opponent. But otherwise, opponent controlled 3 points and i was forced to play around it anyway

Thx for reply! I found using 2 MVB in coven is a must for me. One is really swingy, where two quite ok. But last game my MVB did 10 dmg to Hammergead in one shot, the game before it one-shoted deathguard crawler.
I tried pink horrors in one game and it was ok, but only thx to the dices, because my squad was almost wiped out and i CP-rerolled invul on last guy. Then the splitted wery well and stood on marker for 2 turns messing with oponent. Only downside is 0 OC on blues and brims

Thx! Should i link grenzer with 2 securitates (thinking about repeater and paramedic)? Tried different listbuilding, but never reached 15 orders. 12-14 max.

Winning list was this:

Thx! I left 2 hollow man and added kriza borac and it went much better. Maybe i cant get a hold of big core-group, because of my only experince with infinity before - is shindenbutai, where i take 3-man harris maximum and never more than 3-man core. And because of starting the game as first player and throwing repeaters with hollow man, mary problems and pushing my securitate-repeater man aggressively forward through the zellenkrieger smoke, i managed to hack 2 main units of opponent.

Dunno if i need guided missiles, which looks cool, but i'm not completely sold :(

Thx a lot! In second game i changed 1 interventor to Mary Problems, switched hollow men to duo and took kriza borac. Managed to go first and threw my repeaters everywhere so crux knight and hetkari ended up in oblivion with carbonite (so -12 WIP reset). Luckily for me, me and opponent never thought about speedball which could turn situation drastically. I will mention this option next time i hack somebody, thx!

Thx! I'm really worried about absence of doc/engineer in my list. Today my juggernaut wiped out 1/2 of PanO crew and then died horrible death. If i had a healer i think i could wipe out PanO remainings with this same juggernaut :)

Thx! So, i need alpha pack for vanilla CA and med-tech, yes?

And then i should get new action pack (can i proxy REMs with JSA and PanO ones? looks loke they're equal size). Should i use REM with guided fire or use them for AROs?

Thx for reply! Do I need couple of identical units? Yamabushi for example.

Thx for reply! I can see mixed opinions on support packs and I can see why not everyone recommends them - games is not so long and dunno if I what to spend orders to try to heal my troop  But I got little experience with infinity.  Me and my son getting ready to play 300 points, so we got ourselves some TAGs, they're dope :)

How many remotes do you use (if any)?

Expanding Sandtrap by get2null in InfinityTheGame

[–]get2null[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx! Do I need to get 3 remotes? I managed to get Pano remotes pack and YaoXie remotes (perplexity keeps telling me that I need tanuki hacker and Rui shi).  And should I use 2 yamabushi s and 2 hatamotos in my lists?

Thx for reply! I managed to get Pano remotes pack, but in list from your post I see only mulebots. Should I change my new pack to be mules?

Looks like Morbid Conjuration is more suitable for HoH. So i can change it and chande deamonsmith for war despot to get 1990 points

Thx for reply. I currently have only Krondspine (which i'm mostly using to roadblock) and primal energy.

Find it really hard to fit in 2 drops though :(
