I am making some counterpart lists for the Icestorm ones for the other factions, and want to have it reasonably simple.

The aim is to have about 170-180 points, with 1.5 SWC that must be spent on a Sniper Rifle of some sort (the points limits are a bit higher as it seems Sniper Rifles are discounted with the OI stats, and so is as an allowance for them, the O-I forces are 165 and 169 with the new stats, but units like the Nisse is cheaper in the list than it currently is with no changes). For Yu Jing I came up with:

(assuming a 7 point discount for the Sniper like the Nisse, this would be equal with the PanO force)


Feel free to make your own! I would probably shy away from Hackers for the initial 7, and some of the more complex units. What would you make?

Building something not Morat-centric for CA is still quite tricky - not going near the tricky-skills jar really limits your options.

Yeah, CA is pretty hard to do. Hopefully it will be easier with the new Batroids from the CA starter.

That would be a good start. You're still going to struggle for this particular assignment though: aside from MAF units, most CA units tend to use quite a few special rules we don't want to see in a 'starter' format like this. I'd go so far as to say that CA is probably a rather tricky faction to start infinity with in general. Cool, but not the best 'slow learning' choice, really.

Instead of Shang Ji I think the new Terracotta Soldier would be more appropriate since both PanO and Nomads got a new figure. They also tried to have at least one from every sectoral or future sectoral. So I changed the Lt to him and the Ninja represents JSA and the Bao the ISS. The others represent the new sectorals to come.

This is the best I could do with Ariadna. Keeping it to 7 figures and getting to around 175pts. Is tough! And then having at least one figure from every sectoral. Gotta get in the new Spetsnaz sniper of course. The SAS, minman, and moblot could be switched around of course. I’m assuming they are going to be coming out with a new Minute Man at some point.

Something like this might work for Vanilla Haqq.

Basically the starter box, minus the Naffatun LFT and the Hunzakut Sniper (Because it is irregular), plus three blisters. But it has the 1.5SWC sniper, and a TO camo. I suppose you could change out the Tuareg for a Ragik (same point cost) if you wanted AD:3 instead.
