	**'''Enomotarchos:''' In a fireteam Ajax's dual Combi Rifle goes to Burst 5! But it's short ranged. Usually that team has a Myrmidon with a Spitfire giving your opponent a tough choice of contesting a Burst 5 Spitfire and let Ajax close in, OR freely shoot Ajax and accept the Spitfire shots. Impetuous is suppressed allowing Ajax to take cover which makes him even tougher, and in close combat Ajax benefits from other members of the fireteam in CC with him - with those bonuses, whatever Ajax touches will die.		**'''Enomotarchos:''' In a fireteam Ajax's dual Combi Rifle goes to Burst 5!

	*'''Hector, Homeridae's Champion:''' While Achilles is the wild blood thristy warrior, Hector is the strategic leader and second in command of the Steel Phalanx. Achilles is a single purpose killing machine. Hector brings much more utility, and he's almost as expensive as his rival. If he's your Lieutenant (and why wouldn't he be) Strategoes L1 changes his Lt special order to a Regular order. Although he has no defensive abilities like camo or ODD, Hector is VERY resilient with his ARM5, two wounds, and NWI; Also his Tinbot A boosts his defense against enemy Hackers. A very unique feature is his Plasma Rifle, the only one in the Human Sphere forces. Such a unique weapon makes the Spitfire almost negligible (which is saying something). X-Visor with the Plasma Rifle makes for a very deadly combination especially with the extra burst in a fireteam or even in suppression fire. Stun Grenades also got big boost in HSN3, so ~~dont~~ ignore them. Hector is great in Limited Insertion.		*'''Hector, Homeridae's Champion:''' While Achilles is the wild blood thristy warrior, Hector is the strategic leader and second in command of the Steel Phalanx.

	Where they lack in infiltration and camouflage, they make up in resilience and aggression. Despite having expensive options, multiple Enomotarchos Fireteams allow the army to be very order efficient. Play the Steel Phalanx if you like armies with a nice cast of characters and the ability to field multiple fireteams with a decent flexibility for customizing those teams.

	**'''ODD:''' Multi Rifle or Spitfire, Patroclus's ODD profile is very demolishing. Holoprojector L3 cancels the Negative Feedback of both Holoprojector L1, L2, and ODD. Pat can impose a -9MOD (ODD and Surprise Shot) in firefights. With his 6-4MOV, he can easily bring his guns into good range, and he can provide Smoke Grenades further up the board. He's very expensive for a 1 wound model, but his special skills and equipment makes him a strong shock unit. Pat is also decent in close combat.		**'''ODD:''' Multi Rifle or Spitfire, Patroclus's ODD profile is very demolishing.

	**'''Enomotarchos:''' Myrmidon Fireteams are highly aggressive but also surprisingly multi-roled: Aggression team, Smoke/Eclipse support, Close Combat monsters, and ITS Specialist roles. In this team it's a good idea to have both Smoke and Eclipse Grenades. Phoenix or Eudoros will usually be the aggression piece of a team. Phoenix provides long ranged fire support which greatly benefits from the extra Burst. Same with Eudoros, but for mid range. Machaon will generally be used as healing support keeping the team members alive and ITS specialist jobs, and lets a member with a heavier weapon do the dirty work. The generic Officer is generally taken as a cheap LT or Chain of Command specialist. If you don't have points for Ajax, Hector, Phoenix, or Eudoros, the Myrmidon Spitfire is a solid active turn fire platform.		**'''Enomotarchos:''' Myrmidon Fireteams are highly aggressive but also surprisingly multi-roled: Aggression team, Smoke/Eclipse support, Close Combat monsters, and ITS Specialist roles.

	*'''Penthesilea, Amazon Biker:''' Penny is the only biker in the Steel Phalanx. She's incredibly short-ranged, so she'll need to get up close and personal to do damage with her Combi Rifle or Nanopulser. Then ~~wip~~ out the Contender or go into Suppression Fire with the Combi Rifle for ARO. Finally, she's got a Monofilament CCW for taking out high valued targets. With her speed and ODD, she can easily reach the backfield to pick off stragglers and cheerleaders.		*'''Penthesilea, Amazon Biker:''' Penny is the only biker in the Steel Phalanx.

	**Choose and single out her opponents carefully. Penny can easily gun down lighter infantry and warbands. Even if she's not in optimum range, her ODD is usually enough to add pressure to the enemy ARO, and, with her speed, she can easily catch them out of cover. If it comes down to close combat, she can easily engage heavy armored troopers amd even TAGs. Don't forget that i-khol does NOT work on troopers with STR value.		**Choose and single out her opponents carefully. Penny can easily gun down lighter infantry and warbands.
