Infinity/N3 Tactics/invincible army

The unit overview and tactica for Yu Jing's Invincible Army

Why play the Invincibles Subsection

You have been waiting, eagerly, for this moment - finally! The Invincible army has landed and it's basically what you expect: Chinese soldiers in power armour. The IA is a hard-bitten army with tough troops that can take a lot of punishment and just won't quite on you. They also have a wild array of fireteam options to add force-multipliers to a team. If these things appeal to you, then strap in and praise the Jade Emperor!

Faction features

• Suit Up: If you like Heavy Infantry, you're in the right place. This is basically a dedicated HI-exclusive ranged army, as opposed to PanO's more CC-focused HI army.

• Come Together: Really oddball fireteam combos in this list, which seems to be a new thing for Infinity lists these days.

Special Skills

• NCO: Plenty of NCOs in this list, allowing them to use the Lieutenant order. Great for trolling your opponent as to where your lieutenant might be.

• Tactical Awareness: Most HI in this list that have a special fireteam option have this fun rule granting the entire fireteam an irregular order.

• Valor: No Wound Incapatitaion: Most models have this special rule, largely to keep points cost down. Note most of your HI have this rule instead of having 2 wounds.

Weapons and Equipment

• Breaker Pistol: Surprisingly common in this list and your Zu Yong pack two of them. They are a very decent weapon for hitting either low-tech noobs or even heavily armoured thickies - or both.

Units

Light Infantry

• Zhanshi: Zhanshi used to compete with a crowded field for worst LI troop. They're slightly better now being somewhat comparable to Celestial Guard with all your usual LI options (haxor, FO, paramedic, etc). Importantly it's something of a folly to spend money on any weapon options as you can easily supplement them with HI inserts.
  • Core: No surprisingly, you can form a core team with these guys. More surprisingly, you can insert 1 Hai Dao, 1 Shang Ji and or 1 Yaopu Panguling FTO into this fireteam to increase their power.

• Zhanshi Yisheng: Your only doctor in the list. Very bog standard but also largely necessary. Keep it safe with a Yao Zao.

• Mech-Engineers (Zhanshi Gongcheng): One of two engineers in the list, this one is the cheap one. Keep it safe with a Yao Zao.

• Warcors, War Correspondents: WIP 13 irregular flash pulse for 3 pts. You know how these work.

Medium Infantry

• Daoying Operative Control Unit: Your only MI in this sectorial, packs a breaker pistol and boarding shotgun which can get changed out for a MULTI Sniper, AP mines and a Minelayer. Makes a great Hacker with WIP 14 and an even better lieutenant with Lieutenant Level 2, bio immunity and camo.
