I've played a game or two with shas'vastii and I really enjoy the way they play. I wanted a list focused on dirty tricks, stealth, and surprise attacks. I'm not really sure if this list is something that will work well together, so PLEASE give any advice you have. It uses the shas'vastii sectional army box as a base, and I do want to keep the sphinx in there, but I'd love to hear thoughts on it and if you guys think it'll do what i want it to.

My advice would be to buy the stuff and play some games.

Infinity isn't a game where you sit there and tweak your list. If you like the models you're including and like the overall direction you've gone with the list, then just learn to use the list, and based on your own experience, sub in different models.

There's plenty of stuff others will recommend that simply do not work for you, while that list right there might work perfectly for you. Just buy it, throw it on the table, and have some fun games.

The only other advice I'd really offer is, while you want it in there (which is fine), drop the Spinx for a while as you get to grips with the game. You've played a few games, which is good, but jumping from a couple of demo games to a 300pt army with a TAG is a massive change. TAGs are a whole new kettle of fish, which require a lot of support from the rest of the list (since they're your 'all eggs in one basket massive hitter' option).

This might help a bit. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/515292.page

One thing with your list is that the Gwailo is going to be a big target because he's the only one not in camo. You also need a few more numbers. I'd drop the Gwailo to take more Seed Soldiers. Or switch him with an Aswang. If you want sneaky tactics. Minelayers are fantastic. You will love them. I'd try to take two.

I agree with Loki on the Sphinx. He's cool but you might want to try lower points first.

One other thing. I'm not sure a Sphinx with only 8 orders in the pool is that efficient. I would try to have at least 10 orders with a TAG in my list.
