	*'''Senor Massacre:''' Totally-not-Deadpool is made for throwing eclipse grenades, and shank basically anything. Regeneration is really nice and gives him even more flavor. E/M CC Weapons are scary. E/M grenades in a link can be wicked. He's able to link with Alguaciles or Mobile Brigadas, but having him run solo isn't a bad idea either. Just make sure to keep those terrible jokes coming whenever you run him.		*'''Senor Massacre:''' Totally-not-Deadpool is made for throwing eclipse grenades, and shank basically anything.

	*'''Irmandinhos:''' The cheap, irregular and impetuous engineers from Ariadna come in handy as both smoke throwers and specialists. Booty can give them a nice boost if you're lucky, but they're solid anyways. Linking them with an Anaconda makes them lose impetuous and you're losing the ability to use their irregular order without breaking the link- but having a cheap linkable engineer is good enough for that.		*'''Irmandinhos:''' The cheap, irregular and impetuous engineers from Ariadna come in handy as both smoke throwers and specialists.

	*'''Anaconda:''' The toughest fire support you can field in the army and a decent, cheap light TAG. The +1 to their BS Attack damage makes their AP Spitfire hit as hard as a normal HMG, and the Anaconda still has a Panzerfaust for more hardened targets. They can also still take an actual HMG and chain colt which replaces the AP Spitfire and light flamethrower respectively. Fireteam: Duo allows them to take either a Mobile Brigada or an Irmandinho with them.		*'''Anaconda:''' The toughest fire support you can field in the army and a decent, cheap light TAG.

	**'''Pilot:''' ~~The bad news is that she's not a Specialist Operative; the good news is that she~~ has a decent BS and retrains the spitfire (albeit not an AP one) after bailing out of her TAG... which she might actually do thanks to her Escape System.		**'''Pilot:''' She has a decent BS and retrains the spitfire (albeit not an AP one) after bailing out of her TAG... which she might actually do thanks to her Escape System.

	You feel like Corregidor would be more fun if you didn't have access to some of their best tools? StarCo is your sectorial. They gain a few nice toys in return though, so don't brush StarCo off as useless- they're one of the more difficult factions but as always with mercenary troops they add in playstyle options for the more experienced player- or someone who just enjoys a good challenge.

	*'''Corregidor Alguaciles:''' These are the most basic units in the game, they are in fact the bare chassis that all other profiles and units are derived from. They fill the line troop slot, and have a LT option which comes at 1SWC- which feels really bad but sometimes it still is something to consider. Typical for a sectorials linetrooper they get Fireteam: Core.

For some bullshit reason StarCo only gets AVA1.
	**'''Vertigo:''' This thing can be very strong in a list that utilizes the faction strengths in spreading repeaters and taking good hackers. By threatening a guided missile strike after spotlighting a enemy model that wonders through your repeater area you can discourage them from passing through that area, denying it to the enemy. Furthermore in the active turn you can get a repeater within range of a target, spotlight them and then destroy them with the missiles. The missile launcher in direct fire can be a good hard aro denying areas parallel with your table edge, or later in the game watching your opponents models.		**'''Vertigo:''' This thing can be very strong in a list that utilizes the faction strengths in spreading repeaters and taking good hackers.

	*'''Mobile Brigada:''' They're also able to form a core-link and bring Senor Massacre and a Daktaris with them, and they can join an Alguaciles core or an Anaconda Duo. The basic Heavy Infantry option. What sets these apart from other factions basic HI is that they have arm 5 and Courage which is an important perk, since Heavy Infantry are likely to roll Guts a lot. Can take both long and medium range weaponry and the basic MULTI Rifle option also has the ever present Light Flamethrower. These are one of the more durable LT choices in StarCo.		*'''Mobile Brigada:''' They're also able to form a core-link and bring Senor Massacre and a Daktaris with them, and they can join an Alguaciles core or an Anaconda Duo.

	*'''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 a 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 Avicenna with them.		*'''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.

Building Your Army

	==Building Your Army==		==Building Your Army==
	~~One~~ to ~~two short paragraphs on~~ list ~~building~~.		There’s a lot of potence hidden in the Riot Grrls paintrain core: Avicenna can get unconscious members up on an 18, Uhahu gives hackable units a threat and protects the link, Handelman just tags along for the sole reason of launching E/M grenades! The spitfire Riot Grrl probably makes the most potent gunfighter here, and since there’s still a lot open there is at least some flexibility- something like the tinbot BSG or the missile launcher shout get a close consideration here!
			If you’re going that route the Brawler probably is your most attractive LT option (but a lone offensive Mobile Brigada is also sweet if your points allow it), and gives you a suggestion to a defensive haris. Fill the rest of the list with whatever you feel worth playing (most likely a few skirmishers) and BOOM- that’s an actually potent list baby!

			Obviously that’s just one list suggestion, and there’s multiple approaches to the StarCo roster.

	*'''Clockmakers''' A clockmaker is a premium engineer, able to use their WIP 15 and burst 2 gizmo kit to very easily fix models that have STR or have suffered the indignity of having states such as isolation applied to them. The clockmaker only really engineers though, so you may find the other engineers in faction more interesting for your list. She is also a devil waifu, so.		*'''Clockmakers''' A clockmaker is a premium engineer, able to use their WIP 15 and burst 2 gizmo kit to very easily fix models that have STR or have suffered the indignity of having states such as isolation applied to them.
