WOLVES LOVE THE SMOKY WEATHER (IRMANDINHOS)

 I dont think that i can find the best words to describe how i like irmandinhos. He is one of the best units in the game and was better before the changes in MSV rules. Very optimised unit. Here in this thread, i will try to tell you irmandinhos and how to use them.

One of the best painted ones i found in the net

Irmandinhos are optimised to make one job clearly. Throwing smokes, walking in the smokes they created and pushing the buttons on the way.

So long story short, what we have here is a 8point cost specialist, that needs no body else to success on a mission. 

He is good in close combat. Check. Cc21 is fine. Since he has dcharge . He can kill any unit in the game in his lucky day. Ph14 is also fine.

He is a specialist with wip 13. He is an engineer and isnt it cool he can get away his own marked state himself after having spotlighted?

He is impetious and on a ph14 unit with smokes. It is an advantage.

Good PH on a cheap unit means , he can get in koalas'/mad traps range.

Booty skill brings new options for him. Lets check the booty table.

Die Roll	Result	Die Roll	Result
1-2	+1 ARM	13	Panzerfaust
3-4	Light Flamethrower	14	Monofilament CC Weapon
5-6	Grenades	15	MOV 8-4
7-8	DA CC Weapon	16	TAG: BS Attack (Shock) Other Troop Types: MULTI Rifle
9	Multispectral Visor L1	17	MULTI Sniper Rifle
10	EXP CC Weapon	18	TAG: Immunity (Total) Other Troop Types: +4 ARM
11	Adhesive Launcher (+1B)	19	Mimetism (-6)
12	TAG: Immunity (AP) Other Troop Types: + 2 ARM	20	TAG: BS Attack (+1B) Other Troop Types: HMG

Extra ARM - thats fine. 

Flamethrower - Better chain rifle with continous damage. ok

Grenades - Fantastic on an unit with PH14.

DA CCW or EXP CCW - Cool on CC21 unit. Extra options to kill.

MSV1 - Fantastic on an unit with smokes. Especially when he already has a chainrifle.

Adhesive launcher - An option if you can attack a tag from behind before using dcharges. Panzerfaust is fine especially when defending in cover or attacking in long range. Sniper and hmg are more cooler though. Your bs is 10. So dont expect much.

Movement 8-4 - Fantastic. More than fantastic.

Mimetism -6 - Oh my. Now we have an impetious myrmidon for 8 points.

With booty, they become deadlier. Most of the things make irmandinho much better. When i get mimetism-6,grenades,hmg,msv or extra movement, i become more happy for sure.

Irmandinho is ITS monster. He can make HVT retroengineering classified easily. He helps any infiltrator with smokes and help links when he is closeby.

As an engineer,he recovers our units from isolation and marked states.

Anyways, i wont advice any profile than chainrifle one. No need to spend extra cost on an unit with bs10. He is not that great on shooting things. 17 points for to take a shotgun ? No. thank you.

Conclusion

One of the best profiles in the game. Swissknife button pusher. Specialist in smokes. Becomes a jedi when gets EXP ccw from booty. What do you expect more from an 8 points unit. Always take one maybe 2 in your lists.
