Good call on the engineer. I swapped out "minelayer" for "engineer" on my spec ops. D charges seems to be tough for MO. Only 3 profiles have them (FK, Machinist, Konstantinos). I might have to go without and hope to not need them. 

Any tweaks or glaring weaknesses in either list? 

Here's what I am thinking for my second list. It's following the Joan, De Fersen, Hospitaller knight model. Not a lot of specialists but it would be more for a game focused on holding objectives and killing models. I thought about going the magister route, but I wanted to try something that was on the opposite extreme of the other list. 

I've got the Joan link, the FO OS and Spec Ops for getting up close and grabbing objectives, and the HRL OS and Sierra for long range support. Warcor is a free order. I tried to get to 300 points even but I feel like this is a pretty efficient use of points.

Thanks for all the great feedback so far. I'm leaning towards the order sergeant link, and because I can have 2 lists, use a Joan "pain train" link for the other. 

I have been working on this list and I'm not sure how but I was able to cram 17 orders in. There's not 1 powerful unit, but I think having a bunch of pretty good units will give me so room for error.

So, I am still very new to the game and am trying to lock down a list to play. The list I tried yesterday was actually ineligible (too many core fireteams). A few things I am unsure of: for a new player, more troops and orders (but more to manage) or less, more expensive troops (less to manage but each troop loss hits harder)?

I would like to build around a core fireteam of either hospitaller knights with Joan and De Fersen, hospitaller knights with Magister knights, or Order segeant fireteam (defensive) with lots of specialists filling in the gaps.

For those with experience either playing with or against MO, what would be the best core fireteam to build around for a new player? 

If we show up but can't quite commit to the league, will we still have a chance to play a game?

I'm going to try my best to be there!

It takes much more to scare me off. Everyone was actually really pleasant. I had a great time and plan to be back in a few weeks ( hopefully with some new models). Thanks for the welcome, Sgt Rock! 

Whoops, I'm terrible with names. Sorry Jay! 

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who said hi and thanks to Pete for showing me the ropes! See you guys soon.

Awesome, see you Sunday! 

Hey there!

I'm new to Infinity. I picked up Ice Storm and have some Military Orders models on the way. I saw that there is an ongoing Sunday time for playing infinity and was wondering if it would be kosher for me to show up hoping someone would run through the ice storm missions with me. Thanks!
