	*'''Hoplites:''' tankie, defensive HI. Sports okay armour, total immunity and NBW. Also have ECM (-3) against hax and their CC attacks do +2 damage. There's also an engineer's profile and these guys can form some interesting fireteams.		*'''Hoplites:''' tankie, defensive HI. Sports okay armour, total immunity and NBW.

	*'''Achilles:''' Basically unchanged from N3, except the Spitfire comes standard on this one along with the obligate 1.5 SWC. He's still horrifically lethal in close combat through a combination of MA4, EXP CCW and a bunch of 15's in his stat line.		*'''Achilles:''' Basically unchanged from N3, except the Spitfire comes standard on this one along with the obligate 1.5 SWC. He's still horrifically lethal in close combat through a combination of MA4, EXP CCW and a bunch of 15's in his stat line, not to mention he's also one of the few units in the game with 3 wounds that isn't a TAG proper.
	**'''Achilles V2 (Corinthian Armour):''' Got a bit of an upgrade from N3. As above but with ARM and BTS 6 but mimetism gets reduced down to -3. He can also Forward Deploy 4" and gets the option for a multi-rifle and panzerfaust for no SWC or an AP spitfire for 1.5 SWC, all at +1 damage. Basically, that old charge of him being a TAG that can go to ground and take cover is far more accurate in this profile.		**'''Achilles V2 (Corinthian Armour):''' Got a bit of an upgrade from N3.

	*'''Ajax the Great, Myrmidon Officer:''' Large HI, hits like an absolute truck in CC hitting with 18 damage from an EXP CCW. Oh, and his BS attacks get +1 B and damage - neat. Can be forward deployed 8" or taken as an FTO and added to a Myrmidon fire team.		*'''Ajax the Great, Myrmidon Officer:''' Large S5 HI, hits like an absolute truck in CC hitting with 18 damage from an EXP CCW. Oh, and his BS attacks get +1 B and damage - neat. Can be forward deployed 8" or taken as an FTO and added to a Myrmidon fire team.

	*'''Hector, Homerid Champion:''' Your epic wildcard leader. Take him as your Lt if you want to use his Strategos L1, and you'll get another Lt order out of him if you do. His gear is also pretty noteworthy, being one of a handful of troopers wielding a plasma rifle that isn't from the Combined Army.		*'''Hector, Homerid Champion:''' Your epic wildcard leader.

	*'''Myrmidons:''' This is what you came here for, and Myrmidons do not disappoint. Smoke, Mims -6, MA3 and a nasty statline with equally mean gear make Myrmis an excellent choice only made better by taking them in fireteams.		*'''Myrmidons:''' This is what you came here for, and Myrmidons do not disappoint.

	*'''Myrmidon Officer:'''Naturally, these can be attached to your Myrmidon teams as with either Chain of Command or as Lts themselves. They're also a little beefier than regular Myrmidons; if you're taking a link of them, include at least one Officer or one of the named officers below.		*'''Myrmidon Officer:'''Naturally, these can be attached to your Myrmidon teams with either Chain of Command or as Lts themselves.

	**'''Eudoros, Myrmidon Officer:''' Brings MA4, Number 2, Spec Ops, NCO, a Mk12 and Eclipse grenades. Eudoros is a straight-up ass-kicking upgrade being effectively an HI conveniently located in the WB section, sporting way better armour and 2 STR instead of a single wound.		**'''Eudoros, Myrmidon Officer:''' Brings MA4, Number 2, Spec Ops, NCO, a Mk12 and Eclipse grenades.

	**'''Hippolyta, Amazon Officer:''' A premium warband, without smoke but '''really good''' at CC thanks to MA L4 with an EXP CC weapon. Dodge (+2"), MIM (-6), Superjump and NWI make it easier for her to reach her targets. The Breaker Combi Rifle is a great general threat. WIP 14 on a Flash Pulse is no slouch either!		**'''Hippolyta, Amazon Officer:''' A premium warband, without smoke but '''really good''' at CC thanks to MA L4 with an EXP CC weapon.

	*'''Andromeda, Sophistes of the Steel Phalanx:''' The forward deploying S4 CC-nightmare of Aleph- with guard, so nothing within ZoC stays safe. Take the midfield with her and let your doggo blow up anything dumb enough to move close to her, as she's packing D-Charges. If you're not using the explosives to murder they also make a good use for completing objectives- which she also can do as a specialist.		*'''Andromeda, Sophistes of the Steel Phalanx:''' The forward deploying S4 CC-nightmare of Aleph- with guard, so nothing within ZoC stays safe.

	*'''~~Dactys~~:''' Steel Phalanx doesn't get Sophotects so these are your engineers or doctors (not both, sorry). Comes with a +1B breaker pistol and an ADHL; engineers get the option to replace the latter with a Flammenspeer. Dactyls can form up with a lot of fireteams, notably ~~Torakitai~~		*'''Dactyls:''' Steel Phalanx doesn't get Sophotects so these are your engineers or doctors (not both, sorry).

	**'''Acmon, Seargent of Dactys:''' Super engineer Dactyl with a higher WIP, Shock Immunity, Tactical Awareness and a Panzerfaust. He costs more than a dactyl engineer of course but goes wherever Dactyls go and does what they do, but better.		**'''Acmon, Seargent of Dactys:''' Super engineer Dactyl with a higher WIP, Shock Immunity, Tactical Awareness and a Panzerfaust.

	*'''~~Neotrods~~:''' You can take up to two of these in this sectorial, granting you a regular order each that cannot be removed unless the Netrod is destroyed... which is unfortunately shockingly easy with 0 ARM and 3 BTS and pretty much no other stats. They can't move aside from when they combat jump in with PH12 only ever for combat jumping. Basically these got hella nerfed from N3 once CB figured out how useful they were.		*'''Netrods:''' You can take up to two of these in this sectorial, granting you a regular order each that cannot be removed unless the Netrod is destroyed... which is unfortunately shockingly easy with 0 ARM and 3 BTS and pretty much no other stats.

	*'''Thyreos, Thyreophoroi Mobile Regiment:''' Basically a generic, cheaper Andromeda. Compared to her, they trade MA3 for NBW and CC (-3); they're also locked into an 8" forward deployment as opposed to her option to Infiltrate. Like her, they can pack a boarding shotgun or an SMG, but unlike her they also carry a mono CCW. Options for Hacker or Killer Hacker with E/M Mines or a Minelayer with shock mines.		*'''Thyreos, Thyreophoroi Mobile Regiment:''' Basically a generic, cheaper Andromeda.

			*'''Fireteams:''' you have unlimited fireteams, yes even core, although those are capped at 4. Keep note of who can form up with who and build appropriately.

			*'''CC:''' Between the profusion of Martial Arts, Natural Born Warrior and other CC bonuses, there are few units in this list that don't have anything to offer in close combat. Even those that lack special rules usually have high CC stats and may pack a cool pistol or CCW.

	==Why Play Steel Phalanx?==		==Why Play Steel Phalanx?==
			Certainly one of the choppier sectorials, the Steel Phalanx is the opposite of the Ops Subsection sectorial favouring glorious close combat with high-tech androids over fancy toys... with high-tech androids. This sectorial also sports a shitload of named characters that you can take and form into an unlimited amount of 4-person Core teams, what we used to call Enomotarchos in N3.
