Vanilla list with Sepsitor

[Iceman]

I am going to play a few I.T.S games at my local club and want to try something new. The missions are annihilation, quadrant control and frontline. I definitely want to have a go at the Anthamatic with Sepsitor. I don't have much experience playing him, but I just want to have fun taking over link teams. Do you think I have a workable list?

Well...

the Anathematic is a huge amount of fun and insanely threatening, but... it's also very slow and has a pretty short range. Which I'm sure you've realized. I just thought I'd mention it anyway. If you plan on using the Sepsitor you might want to include a few Daturazi as well. Coma might come in useful, and smoke is always helpful. Daturazi are pretty effective murderers too and surprisingly hard to kill,

For my tastes you're a little low on specialists for ITS missions. In my local meta the Med tech would get killed right away, and the Shrouded would have to do all the heavy lifting, contending with lots of MSV, camo, mines and total reaction HMGs. So he'd be dead fast too. The Anathematic can deal with a lot of that itself, but spending orders to move it around to clear the way, and then getting the Shrouded where it needs to be to do it's job... that's a lot of orders, and you only have 3 turns. So that's tough. (Oh, I just re-read you post and saw what missions you're doing. Nevermind!)

You've also got 3 TO models, which means that your available orders are pretty limited. Of course, you can place them as markers instead, but that's giving up one of the biggest benefits of TO. I'd recommend losing the Malignos and taking some other specialist in it's place. Possibly Anyat or a Vector Hacker.

You don't have any long range fire power, which means that you'll be at the mercy of sniper rifles, HMGs and other long range weapons with no good way to shoot back. Your Speculo Killer may be able to take out some of your threats, but you can't count on her eliminating all of them.

You don't really have any way to lock down objectives besides the Malignos and his Mono Mine. I suppose you could park your Batroids on objectives, but that could also result in your order reserve becoming easy targets.
