Greetings all! I'm relatively new to infinity, but I've played about 10+ games using my MO and some vanilla PanO.
I know the MO list plays best as a mid range shooty army with great order sgt link team support, but I've been wondering how the link teams of Magister Knights would do.
What do y'all think of this? If I understand the rules for link teams correctly, once the Magisters are in the link team, they lose their impetuous. Also, I can spend my LT special order to recreate the linked team anytime I want in my active turn (I have to spend another order to move though).

I intend to start the 5 Magister Knights on the board UNLINKED. Then I can use my Impetuous orders to move them all 8", before spending my LT's order to create a linked team of 5 Magisters to rain hell on the enemy. Their focus will be expending the B2 panzerfausts to blow up key targets and engage the enemy in CC. I don't intend to keep them in the link permanently, as I feel they are more beneficial splitting up and going after seperate targets. They're also surprisingly durable thanks to PH17 dodge and ARM 3 W 2. If at all possible, I will reform the link with my last few orders to give me the bonus of B2 panzerfaust AROs (assuming I have any left).
I'll use the Sepulchure Knight's Holo-projector to disguise as a Order Sgt and park them somewhere where they can best support the Magisters. Any AD troop/Infiltrator jumping down will get a nasty surprise when they find out the combi-rifle Order sgt is actually a Spitfire Sepulchure Knight!
What do you guys think?
Also, I heard that the Seraph is pretty bad. Why is that? It has comparable stats to the O-Yoroi (1 less PH and WIP), exact same cost (2|85), for a spitfire instead of a HMG and losing 2 CrazyKoalas, but gaining a HFT auxbot. Both have EXP CCWs. But no one is complaining about the O-Yoroi but quite a few have mentioned the Seraph is meh.
Comments and criticism appreciated!
