Cogs G-Nocrat Heroes
Cogs G-Nocrat line of heroes provide some much needed medic support to your units. Each version of the hero has the medic ability as well as bringing some long range firepower to the table. Keeping your fragile units alive is essential when playing Cogs and G-Nocrat fits right into this role.
Since all heroes get the medic ability their main difference comes in their weapons loadout. The G45 is the lowest ranking clone and comes equipped with a rocket launcher and two quantum blades. The launcher fires 3 shots with rerolls with 11 strength but only causes 1 damage. Since the weapon is so accurate you are likely to hit with all three shots. This puts it on par with the red blok weapons even though it causes less damage due to its accuracy.
The G27 trades one blade for a rifle. It also provides higher LP but it is not enough to use as your primary commander.
The G09 is the commander on the table. Providing 9 LP this guy will likely be in command of the company. This guy does not have a rocket launcher and he shouldn’t need it as he will spend most of the game hunkered down hiding from enemy snipers. Losing him means losing your LP pool, something that will cripple any Cogs army.
An interesting strategy is to combine all three of these models with a type 3 infantry unit such as the hunters. This gives you 3 hero medics making the unit extremely difficult to kill. An interesting side effect of having more heroes than regular troops is that your unit essentially becomes ungroundable as the non hero units soak up all of the impacts leaving the heroes un touched and standing.
Is this cheese? Well it is a bit beardy and you may have a few players throw a chair at you until they realize it can easily be defeated with snipers or a good old fashioned running over.
