You should probably ditch the Securitate, as the Repeater is useless without a hacker, and the Securitate are overpriced anyway. You're also spending 0 SWC, which can be a problem. Ditch the Securitate, upgrade the Intruder to an HMG, and add an Alguacile LT, I'd say.

How hard would it be to do a weapon swap on the caledonian volunteers? I want to put the grenade launcher on the volunteer with the heavy machine gun, but I would imagine the launcher is too wide? Anyone know of any alternate weapons that would fit well in infinity scale (aka not hero scale like warhammer)?

That's a tricky question to answer man. You could always just flatten/shave out the side that will be resting near his chest if it doesn't fit.

It'll be very interesting to see how he handles this.

BTW, do Spec-Ops count against the AVA of their base units? For example, if I take a Celestial Guard Spec-Op in vanilla Yu Jing, can I take 1 or 2 CGs more?

Tardscream
Nov 3, 2007

Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.
That's a pretty nasty looking list. Spec-ops count as their own separate unit entry no matter the base unit so their AVA is always 1 and won't detract from other unit AVA's like CG or whatevs. I'm pretty certain about it. Not only that, you would end up with situations like not being able to take certain base units for spec ops in sectorials because of no AVA available (Eg. couldn't make a CG or zhanshi spec ops in a JSA sectorial because they have no AVA in those lists - which isn't the case).

Thanks! I do have some of the extra weapon bits from the 45th highlands, so I could try to see how easy it is to cut of the metal without making a mess of it.

No kidding. I was making insane saves tonight. A lowly Devabot out of cover saved three HMG shots, then a myrmidon took two boarding shotgun blasts at optimal range without blinking. I honestly would not have won if pretty much everyone didn't pass at least one more save than it would have been wise to expect.

Holy crap Dasyus. I had one that hung on throughout basically the whole game, dodging full HMG bursts and kiting poo poo around. When it finally did get hit - no matter, because it has NWI! Awesome.

What it didn't do with much success however was kill stuff, but then it was up against Reverend Moiras with their ODD and Sin Eaters with their Mimetism and full burst AROs.
