My FLGS has an auction twice a year and I'm selling the last of any 40k stuff I have, besides bits, and then a bunch of painted things from my old D&D days when I was a kid. Kinda hard to sell them since I've had some for 30+ years. But what I'm thinking of doing with the credit I get from the sale is getting a new army rather than get things for stuff I've got. After a lot of thought I'm actually thinking of getting into PanO! Sort of. I actually want to do it as a O-12 force. I'm not going to be getting a lot from the auction so I'm thinking of getting some PanO with it and supplement with my Yu Jing. What I want to do is almost a Horde army! I started working on this and realized I would have a lot of figures! This force only has 14 orders but 23 figures! This will include 7 Heavy Flamethrowers lol.

How am I going to make this O-12? Well I'm going to get the Auxilia. I like the figs and rules. So two boxes of them. I'm going to use Zanshi for the Fusiliers. I already have them So that makes it easy. The same goes for the Sierra. I already have a Yu JIng REM. I may get the Peacemaker because I do like the figure. The Machinist and Palbot I'm not sure yet. The Deva Fuctionaries and Devabots already come in a boxed set as well.

The second list actually has a TAG. Still a lot of figures including that! I'm not sure what I would use for the TAG though. Using Neoterra rules I can use a Squalo or Uhlan but of course I have neither. I do have a Drago and a Guijia. I was thinking that to have more of a O-12 flavor I should maybe have a Nomad TAG. Thoughts?

I dont know much about PanO but i can tell you that it is a bad idea to:
A) have your TAG in such a small combat group, it wont have enough orders to go anything
B) have your TAG as your LT, most people go "argh TAG, must kill" and you dont want your LT to be targetted. maybe make one of your Fusiliers your LT?

First thought it is 'Pan O!?!' Don't do it!

I also have no clue about Pan O but i assume the fusiliers are linkable in NCA? Couldn't you leave them in a combat group of their own and put the auxilia in with the TAG?

You both are right. I was in too much of a hurry to show i think. I dont mind the TAG being the lt. I know its risky. Not many would think it was the lt. I plan mostly on keeping it back and use it's HGL. Of course with a guard near it to watch its back.

That's exactly what I was thinking. With the Squalo having the HGL, it would be perfect sitting in the backfield lobbing grenades. If you want a guard for it, I'd recommend one of the Auxilia rather than the Peacemaker. I see the Peacemaker as a more offensive unit than defensive.

Both lists look pretty strong, although I'd recommend an extra forward observer for the second one in case the Fusilier gets taken out. Though running them as a link team will help with the survivability, as that's what I'm assuming you're going to do. Of course, the NTC sectorial isn't my strong suite with PanO.

Good luck.

Actually i'd lead with the Auxilia and keep the fusiliers back to mid field. The other list has an aux FO. I should try to get it in with the tag too.

Edit: here's an updated list.

Great idea. You could augment the army by taking part in the O-12 Operative Program too! That's eventually my plan.

That was a thought as well. But this is still in the infancy and depends on how much I get for the auction this weekend. I'll need to get two boxes of Auxilia at least. I think I'll have to get the Peacemaker as well. The rest will be Yu Jing models. I'd like to make a mix to show it's O-12. I might pick up the Nomad Clockmaker. just because he's cool. I should get the Devas with devabots. But I was thinking it would be cool to have a Spec Op as one of the Devas with an Auxbot. I could use any of the Spec Op figures.

Okay I've found I've got $125 from my auction. So I think that can go into two boxes of Auxilia but i'm not sure about anything else. I also need a TAG and/or the Devas. I also need Peacemaker REM. I can use my Guija as a stand in for the TAG but I can't do much about the Peacemaker or Devas.

Well, I went to the store yesterday with my daughter. They only had one boxed set of auxbots :( I then decided to not get the Peacmaker because of money. I instead bought a Guarda de Assaulto mainly for the auxbot. Which I will use with one my Lu Duan remote.

I didn't get as much as I wanted because I also picked up a Riot Grrl with spitfire for my daughter and then we found and Easter Bunny figure that I got for my wife. My daughter painted it up as soon as we got home. She's doing better and better with my coaching. I still have some money left but not enough for a boxed set. I don't know if I want to get some more Auxilia when I can or get the Caliban box when it eventually comes out :(

Oh and I had another idea for this force. It will not be O-12 but instead it will be the private security force for an evil corporation. It's going to be a PanO/Yu Jing company. Probably named like O'Mally Wong for something a mix of Euro and Chinese.

Or Weyland Yutani?

Oh ya! From Alien. Well sort of like that. I should probably just look Finnish names. Every seems to think they are Japanese! lol.

I'm thinking this is technically a Merc company but really it's wholly owned by the corporation. It's just set up for plausible deniable.
