Hey all, this is a divergence into regular nomads rather than my past sectorial so just wondering what everyone thinks of it.

I started off with the corregidor set + extras but also grabbed a Reverend Custodier for the looks. But it was always difficult to include the custodier since it could no longer be a corregidor sectorial. I think it was mostly because of the wildcat link team I had. In the sectorial with a spitfire and a hacker it worked nicely. But take the wildcats out of the sectorial, the loss of link team was quite significant. So I'm gonna try a list without them at all.

I'm not so sure about how useful the evo repeater will be; against the guys I verse there are limited hacking opportunities so its mostly for the hellcats. But they may just be better of coming in via AD2 as I've done in the past when there was no evo repeater anyway. Never tried a sin eater, but he seems promising in ARO and with the multi sniper rifle the reduction to B1 in my turn wont be as noticable as if he had a HMG... I think...

Basic ideas for game play with it are keeping the Sin eater at the back with the custodier and evo repeater. Shotgun hellcat for LI clusters and the HMG cat for heavier stuff. Carlota is just for versatility and some backfield flaming and gluing. The sniper intruder is to work in concert with the sin eater and the other 2 intruders are what will more or less advance out from my deployment.

So any particular issues anyone can see with this army? And do wildcats work outside of link teams? I've always thought I might as well go for alguacils for the points difference but I just like their aesthetic.

My prediction is you are going to be order starved a bit. If you AD all 3 models you'll have 6 orders to work with. If you EVO jump them that means your down to 5. Also, everything except the EVO, custodier, and sineater are order intensive.

I'd cut out the BS hellcat and fill in with 2 alquaciles personally.

Wildcats can be good outside of links thanks to their fantastic BS. However treat them like light infantry because they will go squish.

HMG Sin Eater over the MSR Sin Eater, neurocinetics and the hit modifiers make FtFs against the HMG a huge gamble. It doesn't really need to do anything in your Active turn except for reposition and the occasional suppression fire. I've tried both and my experience with the sniper rifle load out is if my opponent has a tough enough HMG they'll usually go for the FtF.
