Hey, my first topic on Dakka.(sorry for my english, im not a native speaker)

So I have been playin Infinity for almost 3 months now , I started with Corregidor starter pack and I love it(game and models), for now I dont focus on sectoral army since I like Bakugin/Tunguska models too. My problem Iies in Intruder, awesome model and I want too use him since Infinity dosnt have unpleyable units( at least not Nomads IMO) but everyone dose his job better( Sniper-Spectra has TO and infiltration and cost less), agro/tank unit (Mobile or Riot have 2W and some bts so viral dosnt eat you instantly and cost less), hmg-platform(mobile can do it and survive oh and cost less). For some reason his MSV2( I know I can use him with Morlock or Lupe but Idea of buying another unit just for him when he cost me 1/4 of army dosnt sound good) draw so much fire that every single game he ends up dead before end of turn in wich he decamouflague.
Right now Im torn, I want to use him but when I play games around 200pts and I spend 50-ish pts on one model that can go down just like that im kinda sad ....I only see him as nasty suprise for TAG with his adhesive gun waiting in ambush and even that can be done better by other units.
BTW multiterrain is cool but our club just started making tables for Infinity so I have to wait a bit to use it to its full extent.

So I ask more experienced players for advice, how I suppose to use him??

Recamo, recamo, recamo, and don't decamo in view of any enemy unit. Even the unit he is shooting if you can help it, you should be shooting people in the back if able (that goes for all fire fights, no matter what model your using), this is improtant with camo (until N3, that is) to avoid getting shot back if the enemy lives. Really the Intruder is viewed with envy by other factions, it is that good. Hell, in the right range band with cover and camo, you are at -9 to get hit, you are stacking mods in your favor right?

Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.

Recamo and HMG. I would only use the Multi sniper in a 300 point game. Intruders are the king of MI, their only weakness is the 4-2 Mov. More often than not, an Intruder with HMG will kill a 1 wound model in the Surprise Shot. Hide, and repeat. Cover + Range band + CH should be putting them at -9 as Noir said. MSV 2 should not be under rated, it will allow you to stop ODD and TO cover in its tracks.

I try not to rambo units, but the Intruder seems to be that one unit I can throw 6 orders and kill 90 points before I let him die.

I think most people would say the exact opposite - Intruders are widely considered a great unit, and the HMG-version is a default member of most of my lists.

The big advantages over Mobile Brigadas are MSV2 and camo. You may experience these advantages less if you don't play against many camo, TO camo, or mimetism units. But it is a very, very important piece of equipment. Powerful TO units, especially, can take your army apart and an intruder is the best chance to stop them.

To get the best use out of powerful camo units, try to avoid using them in the reactive turn, unless, for instance, it is a sniper model at long range, and the opponent has no similar units to activate to try and attack it. It is almost always better to stay out of LoS until your own active turn, THEN go on the attack. Sometimes you do get unlucky and a valuable intruder gets critical hitted off the board by an ARO - but this is a danger with any model in Infinity. Used correctly an HMG Intruder will combat camo most any single-wound model, including targets that your other, non-MSV2 models, would struggle to engage.
