Hi all, I play PanO at the minute and am looking to branch out into another faction and really like some of the Aleph models.

I play mainly with a small group of friends (Nomad/YuJin/USAr) and we use a variety is ITS missions usually at 300pts

Because money is a consideration I'm trying to cut down on expense a little, I made the following list using mainly the SP starter set.

Steel Phalanx

Open in Infinity Army

One of the main SP bonuses seems to be the multiple fireteams so I started with two of them (should you always try to fit in at least two?)

Utilizing the Thorakites from the starter (I will modify the Combi rifle model to be a chain rifle/SMG) and adding Alke for a little more firepower and because she has a cool model.

Penthesilea it there because shes my favorite infinity model and the main reason I'm going to start Aleph I'm hoping she's at least passably good.

For the second fire team I'm using the myrmidon hacker from the starter and will be using the officer with Mark12 as the doctor character Machaon (this will again require a little modification but I'm pretty comfortable doing it). Hector with plasma rifle seems pretty sweet and I really wanted to have one of the big hero's in the list. Does this make for a usable fireteam? not a huge variety of weapons and does it work having one member without ODD, will he just be the one getting shot :/

With the two fireteams and Penthesilea driving up field I decided on some back field support and as the Agema comes in the starter he seemed a good fit with MSV2, rounding it off with a Zayin total reaction bot which I always like.

Over all it has four specialists for missions and a fair range of different weaponry.

Please lend me your knowledge and tell me of any glaring mistakes or good advise, please remember that I'm trying to keep the monetary cost low(ish).
