If you are using Cadmus, you need Naish Sheskin =P Drop your Cadmus close to her and send little Achilles to the fight =)
Might take a couple orders to do but still fun =P

Hah, never thought of that! So you take 4 Cadmus and deploy them as normal in your Deployment Zone, all around your Naish, and then you basically spend your first turn making sure you've got 5 Shaskilles running around!

I don't think they can be deployed as normal (An official answer would be great)

From the wiki :

Those Seed-Embryos which have the AD: Combat Jump Special Skill cannot be deployed using any other level abilities of Airborne Deployment

So you would need to be careful with the combat jumps =)

It says they can't use any other level of AD. So thats means Airborne Infiltration and whatever the other one's called. It says nothing about normal deployment... so I figure normal deployment would work.

I would agree with you, and play it that way until FAQed but if my memory is right, there was a big discussion regarding this on the Official Infinity Forum.

The general idea is that the Kempei eats LoL in the first turn and allows me to make the most of the six TO camo minis.

Chain of Command only takes effect if the Lt is Unconscious or Dead, not if they're "off-table".

This will make my Lt. harder to spot, especially as my reading of the CoC rules and the FAQ seem to indicate that once my Lt. reveals I don't have to bring it to anyone's attention when the Kempei hands the reigns back over).

Once the a model becomes the Lt, they remain the Lt until such a point as they go out of action and a new Lt has to be assigned. There is no "handing the reins back".

Sorry, but these tactics aren't legal within the rules.

As for my own odd lists, I'm working on an FRRM list, but it's only really odd as I'm considering doing the whole thing in 54mm alongside the Mirage-5 sculpts I'm working on (but they're on hold due to more urgent projects). But it's kinda waiting on the Paradiso book so I can see if I can fit in a Briscard (their concept art is pretty neat, I think).

It's quite unlikely to have a link team in it as a result, as I'm not that interested in having to make several similar models, rather getting a nice display force (seeing as a 54mm force has about a 0% chance of ever getting used in a game!) That said, a full metro link team could look pretty neat if it had a good dynamic between all the models - but I suspect I'd have to tweak it to about 320-325 points to actually fit that in with everything else.

Mind you - like I say, unlikely to ever get played with (unless I go mad and decide to put together another 54mm force to shanghai someone else into playing with).

Could be interesting...

Group 1:
McMurrough 33

Highlander Grey AP HMG 40
Highlander Grey AP HMG 40
Volunteer lgl 11

Volunteer rifle 8

300 points, 4 SWC

Group 1 moves forward aggressively, using impetuous and volunteer orders. Group 1 Volunteers form link team and have the option to heal the various dogfaces in their group. Plenty of orders saved in the link team to aid the Cameronians and McMurrough.

Group 2: SAS stay in hiding, holding key lanes for the Cameronians or Greys. Greys provide the firepower, or lay down suppressive fire to cover the dogfaces. The volunteer lgl's lay down speculative fire as needed.

Might actually work...

Have dug the Daturazi since the CA box hit all those years ago, but only recently returned to scheme up link mayhem with them. Here's one with max witch-soldiers, under the command of the Ultimate Badass, a Hacker Chick & a Cheerleader:

Gonna need to make some smoke templates

EDIT

Here's the 200 points 'Wait, I'm actually doing this thing??' grow list:

Sogarat [LT] - HMG
Morat - medic
Morat - megaphone
Daturazi - shock ccw
Daturazi - AP ccw
Daturazi - AP ccw

OR

Zerat - hacker
Daturazi - explosive ccw
Daturazi - AP ccw
Daturazi - AP ccw
Daturazi - chain rifle
Daturazi - chain rifle
----------------
199 / 3.0

Unsure on which takes precedence, another order (and combi-rifle) or the sexy alien chick. Honestly never hacked much, and she'd give me something else to do besides daturat up the table or HMG things. Downside: I can do more of both of those with the cheerleader monkeys. Also: the zerat would mean buying another blister ...

- Salvage, who is worried how much thought is going into making this possible

Some of these would be fun to at least try out a game. What's the worse that can happen? lol

The universe implodes from awesome?

Could be worse

I think this list could be considered as spam...but I think it would still be fun =P
Using metros for backfield duty, link team at the end of the turn for reactive duty (never played link teams but I'm pretty sure it can be done)
Use the loup-garous to hunt the enemy =)
The Zouaves can be deployed up to mid field and they have great close quarter loadouts so it might be hard to get past them
Chasseurs are used to deny so area and can do all sort of fun things behind enemy lines =)
This is all theory but one day I'll proxy all those Zouaves =P

It's pretty silly, but if I ever get around to finishing it, I look forward to running my Asiwara Regiment link team list.

Might lack a little punch, but good luck finding the Lieutenant =)
Every single model has WIP 13 and a Lieutenant option (and the list has the room for the extra SWC cost for some Lieutenant choice)

A Nomad list where all you initially deploy on the table is camo markers. This one should be both fun and functional, though some of the units are rather order hungry. Should keep ones opponent guessing right until the end though.

10 Regular Orders, 300 points, 6 SWC

Intruder Lt.
Intruder w/ HMG
Prowler w/ Spitfire
Prowler
Zero Minelayer
Zero Forward Observer
Bran Do Castro
Hellcat w/ HMG
Hellcat
Tomcat Doctor

So it will start out with 7 orders and eight camo markers on the field (I love minelayer). The Intruder HMG and Prowler Spitfire will be the primary assault units in the list while the rest hang back (well some hang forward because of Infiltration). If I need to I can drop in Hellcats and Tomcats to deal with localized problems or to provide cover and support for the main list. The key will be revealing as little as possible to get short-term objectives carried out each turn. The less you reveal the more later surprises will be able to effect the game. I can see this one being fun to play every once and a while, just to keep your enemy on their toes. But I need to buy/make more camo markers to run it.

Here's a silly but fun ISS 100 point list I was working on last night:

Celestial Guard Lt
Celestial Guard Kuang Shi Controller/Smoke Grenade Launcher
Celestial Guard Hacker
Celestial Guard
5x Kuang Shi Chain Rifle
Kuand Shi Boarding Shotgun

100/0.5

Spend ALL the orders! But really, the Celestial Guard would form a link team, and the Kuang Shi are Impetuous, so they each basically get a free order. Leaving the Kuang Shi unlinked means they won't get kited constantly, and might actually get in close enough to make use of their Chain Rifles, or take something down when they explode.

This list would probably get roflstomped regularly and thoroughly, but it would be a ton of fun.


EDIT: Guess I'm living up to my title. Post in a thread, watch it fall down the main page of the forum....

Alright, just figured out a list that might have me dabble in Haqq.
2 Bashi Bazouks
3 Hafza
1 Hafza Lt.
2 Jannissare HMG.

Thats 200, and everything except the Jannissare has Holoprojector. So guess what... Everyone is going to be deployed as a Jannissare HMG.

I think Bashi don't get the Holo projector that disguises them. This is a skill that does not allow other levels. It's one or the other.

Holoprojector Lvl 2 can be used as a Lvl 1 (see the FAQ at the bottom), but you cannot use holo-echoes and disguise at the same time.

So, deploying Bashi in disguise is perfectly legitimate. They're still Irregular though, so may be given away by the fact they cannot perform co-ordinated orders with the Regular troops.

You're going to have a lot of spare Jannissary HMG models!

Ah I stand corrected! That would be an interesting list then! I think you need to buy all the HMG Jannisaries! lol

Currently mulling this list over as a potential project, only trouble is that it is quite order hungry!

The theme is Haqqislam rag-tag guerilla warfare. I haven't ironed out the exact groups, i'm trying to keep the regular to irregular orders fairly even (strategos 3 helps).

It seems really fun, might have to proxy it a bit, but I imagine that it might not work so well.
