Unit Overview and Tactics for Tohaa ('''STILL WIP''')

==Why play Tohaa?==
The Tohaa are the masters of bio engineering. Much of their arsenal come out of their mastery including their armor, ammunition, and even alien auxiliaries. They have recently allied themselves with the Human Sphere against a common foe. However, the Tohaa have ulterior motives. 

Play Tohaa, if you love fireteams. Fireteam: Triads allows the Tohaa to mix and match different troopers in a single small 3-man team. Tohaa also has access to more multi-wound troopers than any other army thanks to those Symbiont Armor. The Tohaa are very mobile and they have a very wide selection of troopers and alien auxiliary to field.

==Faction Features==

===Special Skills===
'''Symbiont Armor:''' Symbiont Armor is a living piece of armor that gives the bearer an extra profile "layer" and wound. Wounds have to go through the Symbiont Active profile before getting to the Inactive profile. This counts as having multiple wounds, therefore, Shock and Viral will not insta-kill them. Symbiont Armor is highly sensitive against '''Fire''' ammunition. Failing a single ARM roll will completely kill the Active Profile. Active Profiles cannot be repaired.
*Be sure to pay attention to the differences in both Active and Inactive profiles.

'''Fireteam: Triads:''' Tohaa can form small 3-man fireteams, and there is no limit on how many Triads you can take. Additionally, Triads can consist any unit just as long as they have the Fireteam: Triads rule. This allows the Tohaa to mix units in a team.

===Weapons and Equipment===
'''Viral Ammunition:''' Being master bio engineers, the Tohaa have a lot of Viral weapons including Sniper Rifles, Combi Rifles, and CCWs.

'''Phermonic Ammunition:''' This ammo wounds against BTS and puts the target into the '''Targeted''' state whether or not the target passes his BTS Roll. This also counts as a successful Forward Observer attack!

'''Corahtar Discipline:''' During deployment, the user of this skill can assign Symbiomates or Symbiobombs to other troopers or themselves as long as they meet the requirements.
*'''Symbiomates:''' Up to 1 'mate can be assigned to any trooper with Symbiont Armor. By spending the 'mate, the trooper can ignore all hits, damage, and special ammunition effects in that single order. You can to use the 'mate before making any ARM/BTS Rolls. All except Crits.
*'''Symbiobombs:''' Up to 1 'bomb can be assigned to any trooper with Symbiont Armor. By spending the 'bomb, the trooper can make a Pheroware attack.

'''Pheroware Tactics:''' Pheroware is the Tohaa version of Hacking.

'''Nullifiers:''' Often overlooked. However, Nullifiers can be very handy tools. Once deployed, Troopers in ZoC of a Nullfier cannot use Hacking, Technical Weapon, Comms Attack, or even Sepsitor. However, troopers, weapons, and even equipment cannot be the target of Hacking, Technical Weapon, Comms Attack, or even Sepsitor. This even means Tohaa troopers in a Nullifier's influence, can deny enemy hacking, Forward Observe, Flash Pulse, Jammer, etc etc. This can even potentially deny your opponent some Classified Objectives which is very vital in ITS missions like Highly Classified.

==Unit Overview==
===Light Infantry===
'''Kamael Light Infantry:''' Kamael are the basic Tohaa troopers. They have pretty standard basic trooper stats. 
*'''Triad:''' However, they have the Fireteam: Triad rule allowing them to link with other troopers with the Triad rule. These make for cheaper fireteam filler, and they even have a few specialist options: White Hacking Device, Forward Observer, and Paramedic.
*'''Hatail Aelis Keesan:''' Aelis Keesan is Tohaa's Dire Foe character based on the Kamael profile. She's a very pricey trooper, but she brings quite a lot to table. She has Regeneration (which gives Shock Immunity), Fireteam: Triad, and Sensor (which allows Triangulated Fire). She is a Defensive Hacker making her a, ITS Specialist, and there are 2 options. Both options include D-Charges, Nanopulser, and Flash Pulse (at WIP14), but she gets to choose between either a Viral Combi Rifle or K1 Combi Rifle. Both K1 and Viral are good, but Viral tends to be scarier. Aelis is a toolbox trooper who brings a lot to her Triad.
**'''Triad:''' In a Triad Fireteam, she can fulfill multiple roles as a specialist trooper and a short ranged gunfighter. She's pricey, but brings a lot to the team, but make sure she's accompanied by tougher troopers.

'''Sakiel Regiment:''' Sakiel are a light Symbiont Armor trooper. Symbiont Armor gives them that extra wound, however, Sakiel are very inexpensive for a multi-wound trooper. They also have quite an arsenal, and a couple of specialist options to choose from: Paramedic and Forward Observer. 
*'''Triad:''' Sakiels also have the Fireteam: Triad rule, making them perfect mid-ranged point man for your Triads. With Symbiont Armor, these guys can keep fighting even after taking a wound.

'''Kumotail Bioingeneers:''' Kumotail have both Doctor and Engineer skills and with D-Charges, they are excellent ITS specialists.
*'''Triad:''' In the Triad team, Kumotails need to depend on the other 2 team members to get it to the objective. Kumotails costs 22pts which is fairly expensive considering she doesn't have Symbiont Armor, and is a soft target.
*'''Chaksa Servants:''' Chaksa Servants are the G:Servants for the Kumotail. Unfortunately, the Kumotail cannot be in a Triad if she has a Servant.

'''Chaksa Auxiliars:''' Chaksa Auxiliars are very useful tools. The 10pt baggage Chaksa are great order filler, and even comes with Sensor and HFT. There is a Chaksa with a 360 Visor, HMG, and Neurocinetics as the Tohaa version of a TR Remote. The last option gives the Chaksa Auxiliar a Smart HRL which can also be useful especially with Symbiobugs.

'''Tohaa Diplomatic Delegates:''' The Tohaa Diplomatic Delegate is an irregular 5pt Special Operative. She's got very little in offensive power (Nanopulser, Pistol, Flash Pulse), but she's super dirt cheap and a Specialist. The Irregular doesn't necessarily hurt the order pool because of how order efficient the army can be. Not bad at all. 

'''Nikoul Ambushers:''' These guys are tough turret pieces to deal with. Nikouls do not have the Triad rule. However, they can deploy in a Foxhole with a fearsome Viral Sniper Rifle. MSV1 can help deal with Camo and Mimetism, and there is a minelayer option with Antipersonnel Mines - adding to the deployment zone defense. The best part is that he has Symbiont Armor making him multi-wound.

'''Rasail Boarding Team:''' Rasail are pure aggression pieces. Firstly, their Symbiont Armor has 2 wounds! This makes them 3 wound Light Infantry. Though only ARM1, Rasails come with Nanoscreens, and since they carry partial cover with them they can run out and play aggressively. They don't have the Triad rule, however they come with a G:Synchronized Chaksa buddy with a HFT. They are often taken as Lieutenants for that extra LT Special Order. Though expensive, Rasails are very strong attack pieces.

'''Kotail Mobile Unit:''' Kotail have a crazy combination of stats/skills: 6-4MOV, Super Jump, V:Courage, Holoprojector L2, and even Symbiont Armor! The Spitfire choice is a very hard hitting alpha striker, and there's even a Forward Observer specialist option for quick ITS objective grab-n-runs. A few options even have E/M Grenades and with PH12 they can throw them well. Once the Kotail looses his Symbiont Armor, he drops in MOV, PH, ARM, and drops Super Jump and Holoprojector L2.

'''Kaeltar Specialists:''' Take 'em. Kaeltar have super cheap Chain of Command options, they have Fireteam: Triad, and they bring Symbiomates and bombs. Symbiobombs are great, however, the Chain of Command options only come with Symbiomates - which are just as great. 'Mates will keep your troopers with Symbiont Armor safe for a round of shooting. Also Chain of Command is an ITS specialist.
*'''Triad:''' Kaeltar aren't very great in gunfights. They are usually taken for the Chain of Command as a specialist and Symbiomates. Like the Kumotail, they'll need some escorts to be taken to the objective. However, if you are taking an obvious or aggressive LT, consider keeping the Kaeltar Chain of Command back and hidden.

'''Kosuil Assault Pioneers:''' Kosuil are mid cost demolition experts. Thanks to Symbiont Armor, they have a second wound. These Engineers will get your ITS buttons pushed, and can even accomplish Sabotage with D-Charges.
*'''Triad:''' Kosuil can cover multiple roles like Aelis: ITS Specialist and short ranged gun fighter. Depending on the weapon options, Kosuil can also offer some board control with Minelayer, anti armor with K1 Combi Rifle, and even a long ranged threat with the Panzerfaust.

'''Kerail Preceptor:''' The Kerail come G:Synchronized with either the Surda or Mutan Symbiobeast. Kerail has 6-4MOV -fast enough to keep up with his beasts-. Though very soft with only ARM1, he has Symbiont Armor. Combat-wise he's average, but you're generally taking them for the monsters not the controller. The downside of either team is their larger footprint, and that the team doesn't behave with synergy.
*'''Surda Symbiobeast:''' Surda are CC beasts. They are armed with Viral CCW at CC22 and Pulzars. The Surda options are pretty low cost, but they are VERY short ranged. However, the Kerail handler comes with Smoke Grenades (the ONLY normal Smoke Grenades in the army).
*'''Mutan Symbiobeast:''' With lame BS11 and just as lame dual Contenders, the Mutan options isn't very liked - especially so since the controller doesn't come with Smoke Grenades. The Contender is a short ranged weapon, and Kerail comes with an even shorter LSG.

'''Krakot Renegades:''' They have their uses as a nice little striker. However, there are other troopers in the army that can cover any roles Krakots have. Also it's not necessarily a solid plan to rely on a lucky Meta-Chemistry roll, so there's a level of uncertainty with these guys.

'''Sukeul Commandos:''' Sukeuls are some of the best gunfighters in the Tohaa army. Not only do they have an excellent BS13 and Symbiont Armor, but they also have Stealth, Mimetism, V:Courage, and Veteran L1! Rare for Tohaa, these guys carry heavier support weapons and can join a fireteam. There are 3 Forward Observer options with D-Charges (one of them can even be an LT).
*'''Triad:''' As already mentioned, Sukeuls can carry support weapons in a Triad. They get the extra burst and Mimetism gives them the edge in ranged combat.

'''Kaauri Sentinels:'''

===Medium Infantry===
'''Gao-Rael Unit:''' The only unit with MSV2. Unfortunately, the only trooper with normal Smoke Grenades isn't great. Even still, the Gao-Rael are excellent Camo/ODD hunter. They're also got an extra wound with the Symbiont Armor. They're slower with only 4-2MOV (goes to 4-4MOV if the armor dies), so some of their weapon options make little sense. The Spitfire or Sniper Rifle are the more popular options especially in a fireteam.
*'''Triad:''' The Sniper Rifle option is great for a small sniper team. Spitfire makes for a solid gunner for any trio. The slow 4-2MOV is greatly improved with the order efficiency of the fireteam.

'''Gao-Tarsos Units:''' Gao-Tarsos are a high end AD Trooper. They also have Symbiont Armor making them one of those rare AD troopers with a second wound. That Symbiont Armor let's them deploy aggressively. For ITS objectives, they have a Paramedic. 

'''Armand Le Muet, Freelance Killer:'''

'''Taquel Officers:'''

===Heavy Infantry===
'''Ectros Regiment:''' Ectros are HIs with Symbiont Armor with 2 Active wounds, and 1 Inactive wound. They're only ARM3, but super durable thanks to the extra wounds. Ectros offer a nice array weapons with an even nicer BS13. However, they are expensive. Expensive in an army with a lot of multi-wound troopers for less).
*'''Triad:''' In a Triad team, the Ectros are a great HMG platform or a deadly door buster with the Viral Combi Rifle or Vulkan Shotgun. 
*'''Neema Saatar:''' Neema Saatar is an Ectros character. She brings a very interesting element for your army. She has that same ARM3 (but very durable 3 Wounds), and a great BS13. Her two weapon choices are either a Breaker Combi Rifle/Panzerfaust or Spitfire. However, if she is your LT, she gives you an extra Command Token with her Advanced Command skill, a very rare ability. If you take her as a LT, be sure to include a Kaeltar with Chain of Command for both the skill, and Symbiomate.
**'''Triad:''' Both weapon options offer something different. The Breaker Combi Rifle hits BTS, but comes with a Panzerfaust for long ranged ARO. Spitfire's high burst make her the active turn gunner for her team.

===TAG===
'''Gorgos Squad:'''

===REM===
NONE

===Skirmishers===
'''Clipsos Infiltrators:''' Clipsos are very standard TO Infiltrating troopers, but they're VERY inexpensive. 25pts gets you a Clipsos Forward Observer with Combi Rifle and Antipersonnel mines.

'''Igao:''' 

===Warband===
'''Makaul Troops:''' Makaul are essential for any Tohaa list. They all have Eclipse Grenades to cover your advance. HFTs for burning Camo/ODD and crowds. They can be brutal in close combat with CC22 and Viral CCW.
*'''Triad:''' Makaul have a very important role in a fireteam and for your army overall. They provide precious Eclipse Grenade coverage for your army to move up. HFT and his Viral CCW benefits greatly with fireteam bonuses.


==General Army Overview==
Even though the Tohaa are very order efficient, their fireteams are easy to take apart. A traditional Core team, and even Enomotarchos team can usually hold their own, but Triads are more frail (a little Warband with a HFT on a suicide run can really ruin your day). Thankfully, Tohaa troopers with Symbiont Armor are very durable. Their Triads are great in both Active and ARO, but it's even better if those Triads can cover each other.

Fireteam Composition is very important. With so much options it's easy to make a bad team. Most trios generally consist of point man with a heavier gun like a Spitfire or HMG, a specialist, and a "filler" trooper (like a Makaul for DTW/Smoke or even an extra specialist). However, there are exceptions, and there are even troopers that can cover multiple roles.
