I've been playing Aleph for a little while but infrequently enough to still call myself new. With the N4 release, I decided I wanted to try out PanO because I fell in love with the new Jotum model. How would you go about building a list with Jotum as a centerpiece (whether vanilla or winterfor)? I'm hoping to use some knights hospitaller and/or Oktavia in the list but given the huge chunk of points that takes up I'm not sure if its the best idea.

I think you would get better feedback posting this on official Infinity forums https://forum.corvusbelli.com or maybe Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTheGame/

I don't play PanO so I can't actually help you, but it seems that in N4 TAGs are viable, if not op. Oktavia seems to be more of a vanity model then something that you would play.

Well, spending however many points on a TAG means you have to support it right. Engineer of course, evo hacker is nice too, as well as dudes with template weapons to protect it. Killer hackers can do a lot too. So definitely a Nokken or Locust KHD, Machinist w/ some palbots, and for a cheap template weapon option I'd suggest the Peacemaker w/ shotgun, which has the added benefit of being a Repeater, so can be used to protect your Jotum from hackers while your hacker isn't even anywhere near your TAG.

Thanks, this looks like a great s]place to start! I'll go ahead and try it out
