You've got anti-Camo in the flamethrowers and the Deva, and a weight of fire to deal with other nasties that you're likely to see in 150 points. Enough toys to get the feel of Neoterra, but you're still limited at that point range.-==200 Points==-NEOTERRAN CAPITALINE ARMYGROUP 1 (Regs: 8/Irrs: 0):4x AUXILIA Combi Rifle + AUXBOT_1 / Pistol, Knife (14)AUXBOT_1 Heavy Flamethrower / Electric PulseAQUILA HMG / Pistol, Shock CCW (60 | 2)DEVA Lieutenant Combi Rifle, Nanopulser+Devabot / Pistol, Knife (26)DEVABOT Heavy Flamethrower / Electric PulseHEXA MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse (38 | 1.5)TRAUMA-DOC Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife (14)2x PALBOT Electric Pulse (3)200 Points | SWC: 3.5This list drives home the efficiency of Neoterran forces. Even though it's only 8 orders, Auxilia and Auxbots can be used to devastating effect, and you have enough of them that they're capable of being quite scary even if your opponent takes down one or two of them.The Lieutenant in this list is very obvious, and would need to be protected, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to, for example, drop the Hexa Sniper to a Spitfire and replace the Deva with three Fusiliers, one of whom is the Lieutenant-- it gives you 10 orders at the cost of a resilient Lt and better odds of winning initiative, but very likely a good trade-off.The Trauma-Doc is here to protect your Deva Lt, your Auxilia, and your Aquila Guard, preferably using Palbots for the latter two.-==300 Points==-NEOTERRAN CAPITALINE ARMYGROUP 1 (Regs: 10/Irrs: 0):3x AUXILIA Combi Rifle + AUXBOT_1 / Pistol, Knife (14)AUXBOT_1 Heavy Flamethrower / Electric PulseAQUILA HMG / Pistol, Shock CCW (60 | 2)HEXA MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse (38 | 1.5)HEXA Hacker Combi Rifle / Pistol, Electric Pulse (36 | 0.5)2x SIERRA DRONBOT HMG, Monofilament Mines / Electric Pulse (34 | 1)DEVA Lieutenant Combi Rifle, Nanopulser+Devabot / Pistol, Knife (26)DEVABOT Heavy Flamethrower / Electric PulseDEVA Combi Rifle, Nanopulser+Devabot / Pistol, Knife (27)DEVABOT Heavy Flamethrower / Electric Pulse297 Points | SWC: 6Another slight variation on the theme, shoring up the weaknesses in the 200-point list but retaining the same basic flavor. There are a LOT of HMGs in this list from the Total Reaction Remotes and the Aquila Guard, and the Hexa Hacker lets you sneak up to things you might want to hack.Two Devas with Devabots makes it hard to see who the Lieutenant is. If you wanted to, you could trade out the Sierra Dronbots for a Swiss Guard with Missile Launcher, then trade the Hexa Hacker for a regular Hexa and the Sniper for a Spitfire, giving you the points for another Auxilia. -==300 Points==-Neoterra Swarm 300/300 | 4.0/6 SWC Fusilier Lt 10|0Fusilier Combi 10|0Fusilier HMG 18|1Fusilier Missile Launcher 15|1.5Fusilier Hacker 18|0.5Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0 Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Deva Sensor 24|0Trauma-Doc 14|0Palbot 3|0Palbot 3|0Pathfinder Dronbot 16|0Pathfinder Dronbot 16|0Sierra Dronbot 25|1The Swarm is a list that focuses around bringing cheap, plentiful orders. It focuses heavily on Auxilia and Fusiliers, with a very small number of more expensive troops to back things up. You generally want to avoid spending more than 30 points on a given model in a Neoterran Swarm list.18 orders, 12 of which are specialists. You're relying heavily on your Fusilier link to do your heavy lifting, shooting-wise, but you're also putting 26 models on the table, nearly all of which can do some real damage. It's an overwhelming number of threats for your opponent, and their active turn will be a nightmare with auxbots everywhere and the Total Reaction Sierra standing watch. You can throw away Auxbots with absolute impunity, because you have eight of them, and even when one goes down, you still have a specialist hanging out nearby.-==300 Points==-Neoterra Carrier 300/300 | 5.0/6 SWC Squalo Lt 93|2Fusiler 10|0Fusilier 10|0Fusilier HMG 18|1Fusilier Missile Launcher 15|1.5Fusilier Hacker 18|0.5Swiss Guard Hacker 70|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Trauma-Doc 14|0Palbot 3|0 Pathfinder Dronbot 17|0The Carrier is a more common type of list, and my personal favorite. It's a lesser swarm of threatening models supporting a powerful anchor model or two. Rather than cramming lots of troops downfield, I force my opponent to choose between dealing with the fast, dangerous mini-swarm or the power pieces that they really want to remove. I don't necessarily love running this list in non-Spec Ops tournaments, because it's worrying to lose the Squalo. Turning one of the Fusiliers into a Spec Ops with Chain of Command helps the list quite a bit. There are still 6 specialists out of 11 orders, and the Pathfinder can run spoiler until something inevitably dies, at which point you can burn a Command Token to bring it into the main group. Depending on how G:Servant works, you could also swap the Pathfinder and the Trauma-Doc, and just use the Trauma-Doc's sole order to keep the bot moving forward to support your forward troops while keeping your head down. When something is killed, transfer the Doc to Group 1 and you can see about healing. The Fusilier team here is running fire support for the Squalo, rather than being the main source of heavy firepower (as in the Swarm list). You want to be using Coordinated Orders to get your Auxilia and Swiss upfield while positioning with the Squalo, at least early in the game.-==300 Points==-Neoterra Strike Team 300/300 | 4.5/6 SWC Deva Lt 27|0Swiss Guard Hacker 70|0.5Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Auxilia FO 16|0Hexa Spitfire 30|1.5Hexa Hacker 32|0.5Bulleteer Armbot Spitfire 25|1Deva Devabot 27|0 Sierra Dronbot 25|1The Strike Team takes a variety of forms, but the goal is for any model in the force to potentially be your MVP. You want massive, credible threat saturation even in a smaller number of models, and the idea is that your opponent should never really know where you're going to spend your next order, because you have so many solid moves.Eleven orders, 7 of which are specialists. Devas can do some serious work if needed, and you really want their solid WIP here-- you very much want to go first with this list, because you need to take a dominating position early and force your opponent onto the back foot. Coordinated Orders are your friend in a list like this, because you can move a lot of models all at once and force unpleasant choices onto your opponent as multiple models move into position.
