Hello. New player here and I've got an Ariadna list together. I could use a hand.

(300 points)
Mormaer ap hmg
Vet kazak ap hmg
Assault pack antipode
Controller
Loop garou viral rifle x2
Cameronian dog warrior
Line kazak paramedic x2
Line kazak normal
Dozer
Chasseur minelayer x2

I liked the idea of starting with lots of cammo tokens, some redundancy so a single loss doesn't cripple me, some built in versatility, and a Wolfy theme. How would you improve the list? How would you organize the combat groups? Should the vet kazak or one of the line kazaks be the Lt? Comments?

Hi! If you are new into infinity I would strongly suggest to start at 150-200 points range, trying new units every game and getting to know every rule because, even though the basics aren't that difficult, there are a lot of different little rules that change of lot of stuff and affect how you play.

The minis you've got are pretty good for a start I'd play this list don't be afraid of proxying!

It's more or less all the minis you have but you'll have to proxy the doktor and use the HMG mormaer as a T-2 Rifle. Bare in mind I use the spanish app (IA By Aleph) Fusil means rifle and i believe that all the rest is in english.

Hope it helps!

I believe that the Vet Kazak AP HMG is overpriced for what it is. I think you should get the Tankhunter with AP HMG for 40|1.5 and spend then extra 21|0.5 on something else.

18|0.5 gets you a Line Kazak Sniper (Cheap Sniper)
17 gets you a Foxtrot with Rifle (Camo, infiltration)
20 gets you a Foxtrot with Bording Shotgun (Camo, Infiltration)
20|0.5 gets you a Zouave. The DEP and Mechanised Deployment can be very useful especially if you are going first

Overall this will also get you an extra order and the Tankhunter starts as a camo marker but if you really want to use a Veteran Kazak then take the base version for 47 points which leaves you 14 points to maybe upgrade the Mormaer to an AP HMG or even take another Line Kazak. For 1 point more you can make the Vet Kazak your doctor which leaves you 26 points to spend on something else.

26 gets you a basic Scout (Camo, Infiltration)
26|0.5 gets you a Foxtrot Sniper (Sniper, Camo, Infiltration)
23 gets you an SAS with Chain Rifle and Assault Pistol (Camo, Infiltration, Template weapon)

The Vet kazak with AP HMG is a good unit, you can just get better, and more, things for the same price

Trust me Veteran Kazak is worth every point, Armour 4, mov 4-4 BS13 six sense level 2 and mimetism, he can never be surprise by any pesky camouflage guy, he has a great weapon with deadly accuracy and AP to boot, he's got virtually 2 wounds dying only to viral rifle with one shot, Tankhunter is pretty good too but don't commit the mistake of overlooking the veteran kazak his a bad beast. Trust me.

He is a huge chunk of points that you are going to using offensively which means he will probably die. Going into retreat is not fun. The 61 point Vet Kazak is not worth it, I only ever use the 47 point version.

61|2 Vet Kazak AP HMG

OR

27 Tankhunter AP Rifle
40|1.5 Tankhunter AP HMG

For 6 extra points I know what I would rather take

I am not saying that the Vet Kazak AP HMG is bad... it is bloody awesome and will probably only get better when the sectorial comes out. Its just that in any game below 300pts it is a bit like 'having all your eggs in one basket' in that it is too expensive and it is going to be targetted hardcore by the enemy. The 47 point version gives you most of the benefit of the unit without the crazy price tag

Good point about getting all the nice bits and becoming less of a fire magnet at a lower cost. Thanks!

You're not used to running TAGS, are you? I'd love to have such a good model for 61 pts.

The vet kazak is hardly a TAG

I also think the AP HMG kazak is awesome. But why miss out on the tankhunters? Take both!

I had a game on the weekend in which I took two 47 point vet kazaks in a 300 point list... they did nothing. My Line Kazaks did better, both in offence and in ARO. Dont be tempted by the expensive model with No Wound Incapacitation.
