	*'~~''Shoot Enemy~~, ~~Don~~'~~t Die~~:'''		*Unless you're playing a purely Observance army, you will have to get a handle on how to use smoke grenades. Thankfully, the troopers armed with them have PH13 meaning for how far you need to move to get covered, you need a 16 to pass. On top of that, Überfallkommando Chimeras have those rare eclipse grenades which deny LOF to MSVs. Remember that both of those units are Impetuous and their impetuous orders have to be spent during the command phase. This could be a tactical problem especially if you miss a throw although there's a few things to help you out with them:
	*'''~~Don~~'t ~~Die~~:'''		**Morlocks can form a Haris or Duo with a Taskmaster, which will cancel their impetuousness as well as grant them some formidable fire support. Sadly you lose their order and the smoke may interfere with the Taskmaster's shooting, but the Morlocks are kept in line. It is thus advisable that if you're building this fireteam to not put too many points into the Taskmaster's gun.
	*'~~''Play~~ the ~~Objective:'''~~		**Überfallkommando are a bit more tricky because a missed eclipse grenade throw can spell doom for your furry missile. Fortunately they have a very high MOV value and climing plus on the Chimera and her Pupniks so you have the option of taking alternate paths that hopefully don't open her and them up to AROs.

			*The other thing to remember about smoke is not to block the shooting attacks of your other units. This is something that you should probably think about during deployment, try to figure out where you want your mutants to rush and what might be behind them as well as who you're trying to obscure in front of you (ie, what enemy shooting are you trying to block). Obviously, regular smoke is useless against MSVs, especially levels 2 and 3, which applies to both your and your opponents troops. So if you have Riot Grrls or that one Orphan, you can have them follow behind a Morlock link - just as long as you're throwing them against troopers that can't see through the smokescreen.
			**There is a weird option available to Morlocks: for twice the regular price and an SWC, you can have a Morlock with a smoke grenade launcher. Compared to grenades, it's harder for Morlocks to hit with them (on 11s without any long range band penalties) but the main advantage is that it allows you to drop smoke 24" away.
			*Überfallkommando are more of a solo operator - never put any dedicated range unit behind them unless you want to waste the points you paid for them. Do however throw them at something that you just don't want to shoot and you will be a major problem for your opponent unless and until they break out the intuitive attack weapons.

Why Play Bakunin?

	==Why Play Bakunin?==		==Why Play Bakunin?==
	~~Überfallkommando~~.		You either like weird mutant deviants or have a cyberpunk nun fetish. Either way, Bakunin is a strong close range army allowing you to field some surprisingly hardy beatsticks backed up by solid fire support from some of meanest ladies in the Sphere - and that applies equally to Riot Grrls and Moiras.

	**'''Penitent Observants:''' the ''other'' S5 HI in this sectorial. Not as pricey as Taskmasters but also not as directly resilient. They do have Mimetism and an ECM that provides a -3 to hax. Note that all of their profiles will set you back 1.5 SWC as they pack either a Red Fury and an either an E/Marat or E/M grenade launcher or the more expensive option, an AP Spitfire.

	**'''Reverend Cenobites:''' No, you didn't accidentally follow a link to the Sister's tactica. Like their Moira kin, they retain their -6 mimetism but they also pack a higher CC, a DA CCW, Heavy Pistol and MA3. Their ranged weaponry options get truncated to their Pistol(s), flash pulses, light or boarding shotguns and chain rifles. Or for 1.5 SWC, you can grab an HRL with your LSG. Obviously, these were built to be snuck into a fireteam with their Moira sisters and they offer some enhanced protection against any melee threats that somehow got through your firing lines.		**'''Reverend Cenobites:''' No, you didn't accidentally follow a link to the Sister's tactica.

	**'''Daemonist Observants:''' CHAOS CONSUME US! A bizarre CC HI packing a Vulkan Shotgun, DA CCW, MA2 and Guard, which works totally differently in N4: it gives your CC attacks an 8" range by way of allowing you to hit anyone in its ZOC without being in Silhouette contact. They have a smattering of other exotic skills and equipment like a biometric visor, -3 to hacking attacks, Counterintelligence and Decoy.

	**'''Reverend Mother Healer Agatha Wabara:''' quite the mouthful of a name for a new reverend character. In contrast to her sisters, she is both strong and tough - PH13, CC22, MA2, NWI, BTS6 and shock immunity. She hits like a truck with her EXP CCW and for ranged combat brings either a Vulkan Shotgun or a BCR and Pulzar.

	*'''Riot Grrls:''' The bane of shitlords everywhere, the Grrls are a cheap Frenzy HI unit with some cracking close range guns and the spicy Missile Launcher. What makes them is that MSV1 is very useful at wiping enemy skirmishers and warbands out of existence. They have +1 Damage on all their weapons, which makes them just that bit more likely to terminate whatever they're shooting at. The Missile Launcher is an interesting ARO piece due to its low cost, durability and the ability of MSV1 to see through smoke and it can be used well in Coordinated Orders to break especially difficult hard AROs. They have Fireteam: Haris, Core and Duo and can take Clockmakers, Taskmasters and Avicenna with them. Alternatively, Riot Grrls can join Moderators in a link.		*'''Riot Grrls:''' The bane of shitlords everywhere, the Grrls are a cheap Frenzy HI unit with some cracking close range guns and the spicy Missile Launcher.
