Hello everyone! I'm still very new in infinity, i don't know almost any rules except the very basic one. So my friend introduce me to this game and suddenly i fell in love with nomads especially with their machine, and the first place is iguana. so i want to build a nomad army with iguana, but i don't know what's compatible with iguana and will support it, so can anyone help me? Thanks

Anything can work really, but any list with a TAG (outside of Geckos) needs to be built "around" the TAG
The main thing is that TAGs are great offensive pieces, but pretty weak defensively so they benefit greatly from troops that can protect their flanks and rears
Minelayers, cheap roadblocks (Morlock Gruppe), sniper cover ... all those help a lot to keep your TAG safe during the reactive turn
Also, Iguanas have repeaters, that's a huge bonus as TAGs are otherwise vulnerable to hackers, but you can counter-hack anyone trying to hack your TAG as long as you have one or two buddies with Hacking devices

Tankol got some good advice right there.
If you want to get suggested list or two, you would have to provide us with maybe some more units you like, because generally you can include quite a few units you just like the looks of and still have a very playable army.
To an extent of course, but with just 1 TAG so far there are a thousand possibilities.
The only things you really should bring when you have a TAG is a Hacker and an Engineer though.

thanks for the advice TanKoL , so my friends suggested me to buy the nomads starter pack first, and I see the alguaciles can bring the hacker device (and the mobile brigada is so cool), but then I saw another one that said "Corregidor Jurisdictional Command Sectorial Starter Pack" and i'm confused as i don't really understand except the unit types is different. so which one is a better grab for this?

thanks for the advice, if you say the units i like is basically that wear armor from head to toe, like wild cats, intruder, tomcats, mobile brigada, hellcats, and the Salyut Zonds-type (i believe the rulebook said this is REM-type).

Infinity factions work by having an overarching main faction, and then sub factions ("sectorials") that have more of a particular flavor of unit, but less overall variety. You can take either but not both at army creation, it just affects how many and of what you can take. Corregedor is one of the sub-factions of nomads (and incidentally, one that can in fact take an Iguana), and tends to have lots of the "*cats" units, lots of engineers and the like, though IIRC, they don't get the really heavy hitter hackers. If I'm remembering right, everything on your list you like is Corregedor, except the REM which is pretty much shared across all Nomads, Corregedor included, so either pack would work just fine, depending on which models you like more. Likewise, fluff wise subfactions will work with the main faction (rather obviously), so if you try corregedor and decide you'd rather try for say, Szalamandras, Interventors, and a Morlock group instead, you can just use some of them with those models as a generic Nomads list.

Also, to play around with, Aleph Toolbox, and the army creator on the Infinity website are great for figuring out what'll fit and what you can take faction wise in an army.

Edit: probably should step back one step: the two starter boxes link to the above by one having units across several sectorials as part of a united Nomads force, while the Corregedor one is just Corregedor units, for if you want to go sectorial (or just like the units in it as part of general nomads).
