A while back, now, I arranged a game of Infinity and decided to dip back into Shasvastii to look at the "Jayth Cutthroat" profile. These are lightly armoured, one wound models who are excellent in close combat, have some good mid and short ranged shooting profiles, are incredibly hard to hit and have a visor to help them shoot enemy models that are hard to hit.
I took a Haris, with one armed with a Red Fury, another Chain Rifles, and the last a specialist with a shotgun. I deployed them defensively on the left flank with the intention of advancing once things that threatened them had been dealt with.
My opponent and I had a whole bunch of back and forth, trading pieces. My Speculo and my Noctifer both got a bit of piece trading done to clear out threats to the Jayth, and the Taigha cleared others.
However, by the time it came for the Jayth to push up the table, I didn't really have enough orders left to complete the mission. They are very vulnerable to template weapons that don't need to roll to hit, which means deploying them cagily, which in turn means that they're not really pulling their weight in a list.
I'm not sticking with Shasvastii at the moment, but it was good to pull out some profiles that people say are probably bad and have some experience as to why.
