Some people doesnt want to talk so much. Armand is one of them. He is tohaa in race, so i decided to write about him and possible synergy he provides with other unique things in tohaa.
Armand is a sniper that can move forward for fun. He has multi sniper rifle in both 2 variants which you can not find in tohaa ranks normally. Double breaker pistol has 3 burst and could be a threat for close range ( 12dmg bts/2 ). And yes, he has a nanopulser also.
Armand has 2 important things that make him special. Symbiont armor and ODD. You have a 2 wound trooper with odd. Take a note that he will be loosing odd in first wound. Both variants are interesting. Lets check the stats in deep.
Close combat is interesting. cc18 - shock weapon can be a threat. He can protect himself. B13 is fantastic in tohaa standarts. ph12 is good and 13 wip ok. He has 2 arm but no bts at all.
Forward deployment is cool for two things. He can find the right spot, under cover more easily and it gives him extra 4 inch movement. If you feel that you need to move him, this eliminates the MI troops disadvantage for 2 turns. He is a sniper, why not making move+shoot moves ?
Between two variants, i like more the minelayer. First of all, it can not be effected by white noise. Secondly, when you decide to move, you have mines and breaker pistol chances to fight other than multi sniper. if you use your coordinated orders, he is a beast in coordinated attacks. Minelayer option lets you to put one mine nearby. It will help you for more deployment safety.
Second variant is dangerous too. msv level 1 really lets him to win many face to face rolls. (-6 odd) + (-3 cover) will be cool with msv level 1. Take this if you know that you will face ariadna for instance. Even the king spetnaz hmg in his best range has to make 4bursts for bs9, while Armand replies with 13 ( 10 if being suprised )
These things are valid for any army that has axess to Armand but lets see what he has more in tohaa.
Firstly a symbiont mate. He can eliminates the hits for one turn. That will make him a real order consumer for the opponent and ofcourse will protect him really good.
Secondly he can have a bomb. Bomb creates a whitenoise option for Armand. Better taking a bomb with sakiel and use the mirror ball on Armand. Enjoy now.
Armand is not cheap but he brings valuable things in his bag. He will not die easily and he is going to hurt poeple.
i give minelayer variant 85 points out of 100 points and msv level1 variant 83 points out of 100 points. Armand is a cool weapon, that you can use time to time.
