The Steel Phalanx sectorial, I swear, is the quickest and easiest way to get into Infinity. It requires relatively few models, and many of their specialists are fantastic, if expensive points-wise. The starter is a great way to jump in and offers quick access to a solid officer and a specialist, along with a nice selection of weapons on the remaining goons. Combo this with a doctor/engineer and a myrmidon box and you are ready to get your first few games in!

One of the most fun things about playing Steel Phalanx is being able to run multiple link teams, gaining order efficiency and improved firepower in several areas of the table. While you have important parts of two strong link teams in this box, you need more models to actually be able to make any. With another Myrmidon or two, you'll be able to make a link including Eudoros and the Myrmidon Hacker, and another Thorakitai officer (either Nesaie Alke or Thrasymedes) will be able to lead the Thorakitai from this box as your second team. The Agema Marksman doesn't join any fireteam, but is a great overwatch model to keep the way clear for another daring Myrmidon assault.



The models were easy to assemble, and the starter pack is a great value - compared to individual blister pack prices, you're basically getting a free mini here. It's also currently the only source of Thorakitai, which you'll want one or two of even if you're not making a fireteam - they're great corner guards and emergency objective grabbers.
