OSS buy Guide

I’m starting OSS, what should I buy?

Priorities:
S: Essential to list building. You can avoid this purchase but you shouldn't.
A: Staple for good reason but not strictly required
B: Common choices but situational or down to preference
C: Thematic and flavorful but not as powerful as other options.  Nomads wish their best units were this good
D: Not Recommended, with explanation
+ Favored units within tier, though this is often aesthetic

S Tier:
+OSS Action Pack (OSSAP) - Starter, everything useable as itself or as proxy
+Dakini Box - dakini SWC weapons & Spitfire Deva
1st Rebots box - Basic Faction REMs. Build as lamedh & daleth, run both as lamedh to start. (Conversion tip: Rebot gun mount matches Rudras gun mount, can give OSSAP Rudras a different gun during assembly.)

Starter List using above boxes

Proxies:
OSSAP Deva & Naga as mk1 & mk2
Shakti as Yadu hacker
Rudras as probot.

 Expansions:
A Tier:
Probots - EVO hacker good, rest are C tier
+Dart - Great midfield hunter
+Asura Hacker - The SHODAN Terminator. LT profile is OSS exclusive
2nd Rebots box- 2nd box to build zayin & samekh. Alt: O-12 Copperbots are similar chassis but better gun position
Danavas - Top tier Hacker. Karkata is for Marut, can be any peripheral or HVT
Posthumans 2G - Mk4 & Mk5 bodies, good posthumans starter
Aleph Support Pack - older pack, netrods are S tier & yudbots are doctor or engineer peripheral. Sophotec has fallen off, but is a useful proxy
+Marut - TAG for OSS. New model looks great

B Tier:
Parvati - Top linkable engineer/doctor, her points make her expendable if you don't use both skills
Naga Hacker - for Naga or Daysu non-sniper profiles
+Garuda (BSG or Spitfire) - OSS Combat jump unit, only need 1
Motorized Bounty Hunter - great cheap striker. Has a model, I use +Penthesilea Special Edition as Aleph MBH.
CSU - Cheap dakini team filler, any semi-civilian model will work. Ex: Leila Sharif, Securitates, Dire foes 9
Warcor - cheap deployment guard/final 3 points. Official model, or a HVT can do double duty

C Tier:
+Andromeda - Great model, now nerfed. Can terrify opponents, but takes finesse
Arjuna - high price, single wound, and unique weapons leave them niche
Yadu box - high points/model skews lists. Use the OSSAP Yadu & Shakti to try before buying
Miranda/Sforza/Bounty Hunters - interesting options. Can use same models as CSUs
Aleph High Functionary - good HVT or proxy
Posthumans 1G - older box, models are finicky. Profiles are all useful, but easily proxied. Ex: Mk1 (OSSAP Deva, Sophotec) Mk2 Sniper(Naga Sniper, Mk5 w/Mk12) Mk3 (Deva Spitfire, Shakti) There’s no Mk2 hacker model

D Tier:
Deva & Devabot Box - old & outdated, Devabots hard to assemble. New Devabots seen with O-12 Raptors, so box's days numbered
Asura spitfire - Old model, significantly smaller than the hacker, basic spitfire can feel like shooting nerf darts. Use Deva Spitfire to try (edited)
