I really like Ajax and would like to make a list around him as my centerpiece. What else do you need in a 200 pts list? Is the steel phalanx starter a good choice? As far as I know you can't link him to anything in the box, is it still a viable starter?
Is a box of Myrmidons a better start?

What you're looking for is this rule:
Enomotarchos

I would suggest two boxes of Myrmidons and another character like Phoenix or the Steel Phalanx box and its character.
Your list could end up looking like this:
ASSAULT SUBSECTION
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1 6 0 1

AJAX Lieutenant 2 Combi Rifles, Nanopulser / Pistol, EXP CCW. (0.5 | 43)
MYRMIDON Chain Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (16)
MYRMIDON Chain Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (16)
PHOENIX Heavy Rocket Launcher, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (2 | 44)
MYRMIDON Combi Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (25)
MYRMIDON Combi Rifle, Nanopulser, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (25)

2.5 SWC | 169 Points

That leaves you 31 points to play with and two Enomotarchos teams to work with. To expand you could add an Agema Marksman with Mark 12 or an Ekdromoi.

I like that as a starting base Kan - I like it a lot!
