Hi everyone as the title said brand new to infinity may and alredy bought the starter pack but i wanted to ask about the zonds and the sputnik as they are sweet models and would boost my list to 130 pts ish so any advice would really help thanks

If you want the zonds or the sputnik (they are all remotes), you'll probably need a hacker to go with them (it's a pre-requisite to have either a hacker OR a TAG in order to TAKE remotes in your list.)

Is there any particular direction of models from the nomad line that attracts you otherwise?
You will need orders, as well - so some support infantry.

At the moment im looking at the minis i eally like and i know also id like a sniper of some sort and the Hell cats look amazing too !

here is a mock up 130 pt list again not totally sure about the game but want a decent force to start with

NOMADS
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1 (Regular: 6/Irregular: 0):

ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (10)
ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (10)
HELLCAT Hacker (Hacking Device) Combi Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 36)
SECURITATE Lieutenant Combi Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (23)
ZERO Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (18)
METEOR ZOND Combi Rifle / Electric Pulse. (1 | 29)

If you're just using the hacker to get remotes, a cheaper one might be better. Making the alguacile a hacker, the hellcat hacker a regular one, and adding an alguacile sniper puts you right at 3 | 150. Which is also the size of a small game. So, using your list, it would be

NOMADS

GROUP 1 7 0 0

Open with Army 4

Fab thanks very much

I think the new Corregidor boxed set is a good start. It doesn't mean you have to just do Corregidor either.

I just bought the Corregidor box, the rocket launcher Hellcat, and a couple Tomcats yesterday (I really liek the look of those models, haha).

I'm going to play my first game today, so I'm sure I'll get an idea of what else I should be getting to add to the army, but I'm also open to Nomad suggestions. Snipers? HMGs? Do you really NEED a hacker/doctor/engineer?

Anyway, I'm excited to learn this new system!

Well, you do NEED them if you want remotes. But they are also good for missions and they have their own other uses as well. Like hacking incoming guided missiles, drop troops, or heavy infantry.
