My JSA army is pretty complete and I have a good idea about playing them, so after reading the recent Corregidor article here on the home page (excellent stuff btw), I decided to add some new troops to my excisting Nomad miniatures.
I already have some nomads but never enough to have an effective 300pts force.
I currently have:
the corregidor starter
the nomads from icestorm
the nomad character from dire foes
I now ordered:
Carlotta
Valerya Gromoz
Intruder HMG
Wildcat spitfire
Lunokhod sputniks ( I really like those models)
Alguaciles box
My first game with them will be the 10th of july but any feedback on listbuilding with these models will be appreciated.
Finally took the plunge into Corregidor

A few observations:
- Lunokhod Sputniks make excellent attack pieces, if you can get them within effective range. I suggest the Koala one, never had any luck with Akrylat Kanone.
- Carlotta is fine, but fragile.
- Valerya is a good choice, especially fo REMs (she can't be in a Link Team, so she can run Supportware without dropping out of it). She's a valuable support for your Hellcats, too.
- you seem to be going for either Algulacile or Wildcat Link. Both have their pro's and con's, though I recently prefer HRL Wildcat over the Spitfire one (who tends to proxy as a Shotgun - it is good to have one in the mix).
- HMG Intruder is the most popular one, and for a good reason.
- Lupe Balboa (the Dire Foes Character)is great, too. Especially as a part of the Algulacile Link Team, but she ain't shabby on her own either. Keep in mind she has Smoke Grenades, yay!
- the Hellcat from the starter box is an excellent "fire brigade", though including both her and Carlotta into the same comabat group can leave you Order-starved.

Forgot to mention, I also have the Gecko box, I heard rumour about new profiles for them so hopefully they become a little more dangerous or cheaper.
Thanks for the advice, I also had the idea about using an intruder multisniper, placing him in the back and throwing smoke screens between him and his target to have the surprise shot bonus, this combines well with the MSVL2, only problem is his cost when I also want to field the HMG option.
I try to play a few games with these models and gradually add some more units to my collection, note that I mostly go for looks over quality, so I will never field McMurough for example
.
My link team choice would be the wildcats, but when some of them are dead/wounded I can switch to the alguacils and have them cover a nice area with the HMG
The whole idea behind the akrylat canone seems fun so I think I try that version a couple of times first, IMM-2 someone, then LFT with the wildcats

It will be taking a lot of Orders to bring in a Wildcat Team to torch a glued down target (most of the time). Keep in mind that the Lunokhod carries D-Charges to get rid of the glued down targets (or Immobilised through hacking, it is a Repeater after all).
Geckos are nice, and i guess the changes will be good for them though I haven't heard about the new profiles at all.
Intruder Sniper... he might be one of the best snipers in the game, but he doesn't work for me I way more like a Linked Algulacile sniper.
