hey guys,

so i've been collecting some ISS for awhile and am just starting to play at 300pts.

I have made a list using only the models that I own so far but am not afraid to buy more. I love me some infinity.
I have some issues with this list. Mostly the lack of specialist troops required to play ITS but i was looking for some suggestions about what to replace in order to make this a more ITS acceptable list

So. like i have said this is models i own so far and i have been playing something really close to this at 250. please give whatever suggestions you are able. even if you want to tell me something is crap i'm all ears.

Well your list is quite good but I think you should put some Yudbots in your list because the Sophotect will be your opponent's priority target since she's the only Doctor and Engineer in the ISS.

Agree with the Yudbots (And assume you got these with the Soph)

If specialists are you primary concern you can run your REM as a Weibing as Tristan suggests.

I'd also grab yourself a ninja hacker for an infiltrating TO specialist.

Then I'd pick up a Crane, given your LT is a little obvious. (thought mitigated by CoC) He can be used with the Spitfire to make a more sturdy and very potent LT linked with the Celestials or you can run him as a hacker if you want a beefy specialist. Dont underestimate how great that ARM and 2Ws are when you need to dash into the open to secure an objective.

And with your existing list I'd get that lone celestial into group 2 so you have the option of a 5 man link there if you want it
