Mmm. Alliteration!
So, currently continuing to build up my Skitarii.
Thus far, one Sydonian Dragoon, 10 Vanguard (one has an Arc Rifle, but they will end up with three), 5 Infiltrators (Taser Goad and Felchette Blaster), and currently building up some Rangers.
And it's the Rangers I want to discuss.
See, I intend to use them as backfield support, with trans-uranic arqueba and an Omnispex. Set up in an advantageous position (ideally 2nd floor of a building, but will take what I gets), and rain precision shots down upon my foe, looking to take out specialists within squads and that.
Pretty straight forward at the mo.
Then comes the tricky bit...a unit of 5 can have 2 arqueba. A unit of 10 can have 3 arqueba.... I'm currently contemplating building them as two units of 5, so I can get an additional arqueba in there.
Downside of course is that 5 man units of T3 troops don't exactly have the greatest resilience...
What's your thoughts on the matter? Oh, and I've got another 2 boxes of Skitarii to build, and am likely to pick up another one on Thursday.
