This is my first shot at making an army list for Infinity. I figured 200pt would be a good place to start points-wise. I chose to go with the Japanese Sectorial Army as a theme and here's what I came up with:
________________________________
Domaru Butai Lieutenant 27pt
-chain rifle/ exp ccw

Domaru Butai 36pt
-boarding shotgun, ap ccw

Keisotsu Butai 25pt
-missile launcher

Oniwaban 44pt

Tokusetsu Eisei Doctor 14pt

Ninja 50pt
-MULTI sniper rifle

Total: 196pt

I'm not sure (having never played before), how important hackers are. I figured that ultimately a keisotsu with a rocket launcher would do the trick but i'm not sure. Any feedback on the list would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how much you value your HI guys - as to how useful hackers are.
Thematically it can work - but there is no one "magic" list for this game that will trump all. You can win with it, but it's going to be a hard slog.

The Domaru have e/m grenades as well (they are thrown - it's a 12" max range with its own +3/0/-3 ranges). These can knock out repeaters and hacking devices meaning you can just SHOOT them afterwards (the enemy hackers).

You'll have bigger problems. At 200pts, that's only 6 orders and if you start two hidden, that means 4 orders. It's quite possible to get 8-10 orders for many armies at 200pts (just not combine, tohaa or Aleph).

Pretty easy to get 10 orders @ 200 with Aleph and Tohaa imo.

...and I don't think anyone mentioned 8-10 **regular** orders, so some of the more pretannoying ca lists could qualify, too

But yeah. This is close to the amount of fun stuff you'd expect in a 250-300pt. list, more like.

how about this for giving more orders:

this list has 8 orders and more firepower over all, but i'm worried that the keisotsu butai will be too week, won't be able to hit much and will basically just be cannon fodder/extra orders for the rest of my force.

You're playing JSA.

They can have fire-teams. LINK those keisotsu up into one team. You'll gain +1B (ACTIVE AND REACTIVE), and Sixth sense level 2. This means a B2 missile launcher.

It's also more orders efficient to do it that way. OK, only the leader shoots in active (but they ALL shoot - if they have LoF - in ARO, with that +1B.). And SSlvl2 denies combat camo too (so no sneaky-sneakies against them until 1 guy dies).
