So I got my hands on a 2nd hans Infiltrator and strifepack.

Thinking ill buy a 2nd strife and a Hyena, is that a good call?

Would something like this make sense?

I have a similar list (Wat instead of Sear and Soulless One on Grevious and 4 TFD with ESC). I see a potential in such approaches. I don't own Hyena yet so it is hard to judge it and talk about it's use extensively. I see a lot of "terrain" ignoring abilities. Do You think they are worth considering for all drones?

I dont think i have anything better to do with my 4pts atm 😃

DBS-404 (29) is a I4 for that rolls an extra attackdie in r1, seems like a good deal compared to a ps2 bomber for 30pt

I actually think people stared them selves blind at the shells, so checking some alternate options.

Tried

Maul - hate (midfield)

Grievous (flank)

Wat and 2 drones as blockers and giving rerolls.

1st impression was good.

Considered PerCo for maul (8), but seemed worth the extra point to get hate and acticvate his ability.

I think ESC work good when considering a big ordnance push with a lot of models. If You have fewer ships, ESC does not seem as valuable. I was wandering if 4 TFD with ESC are better investment than 5 TFD? This in context with having also 2 Belzebubs (Greviuos and Wat) doing the heavy lifting. The answer is not that clear TBH

Points change directed CIS list building into new areas as the current archetype (6 ESC TFD plus Belzebub of You choice with Kraken) is still valid but not the only one and true path

I havent eaven recieved my modells. So trying some Fly casual (where all upgrades and pilotes arent implemented yet). Seems to me that minimizing the droids minimize the variance, in theory at least 😜 Amazing blockers for 19pts though!!

So total 4 vultures, a hyena, 2 bellyrubs, and an Infiltrator?

What about this:

2x TFDs with Discord Missiles

2x SDs with ESCs

DBS-32C

Greivous with Outmaneuver, Soulless One, and Impervium Plating

2 I1 blockers with buzz droids to frustrate, 2 I3s with ESCs for a decent punch, a coordinate bot, and an "ace"

Looks good.

Considering the probes to get some more doublemods.
