macrosynth_ico.jpgBackground/Factions - Syntha

War on Iskandria wasn’t triggered only by Koralons’invasion but also by Synthas without any notice. Breaking former treaties that made Iskandria a neutral zone, Synthas secretly built an army. Synthetic troopers but also heavily enhanced humans (Biomechs) form this army.

Both act together with proven efficiency. Synthetics are mostly canon fodder, specialized, expendable and not subject to moral but lacking any initiative (Calibre 0). Biomechs are elite troopers, specialized to the extreme and unpredictable as humans can be. Both serve Prime, the AI governing Synthas.

Synthas can rely on very good troops, either among basic or elite ones.

Basic troops are : Tactical Androsynth MKII with Pulse Rifle or with Grape Gun and Battle-Shield and the Heavy Androsynth Pointman with Chain Gun. These troops are limited to Calibre 0 since they're AI. Both release of Tactical Androsynth MKII are part of mandatory troops for any Syntha detachment.
These troopers are very resistant (and heavily armoured like Pointman), have a good Command (5) and best weapons but they're a bit expensive (at least 25 points!).
Following UW issues brought more synthetic fighters :
  • HK2800 : flying bike armed with heavy machine gun, quick and dealdy!
  • Macrosynth : giant robot carrying an heavy gun and two other releases called Prometheus : one carry a MLRS and the second one an heavy flaem thrower.
  • Teratosynth : heaver than Androsynths but not lot more expensive.
  • Androsynth with grande launcher (in UW 4).

Syntha players are often outnumbered.

Elite ones : Biomechs allmost not human because of cybernetic et genetic enhancements they "carry".
Urban War 0 offer 3 different biomechs: Artemis, quick and deadly. Artemis Class Alpha, as Artemis with enhanced Command capabilities (for Androsynths) but with a cost of 61 points (Calibre 3) you'll see her in big armies only!. Last but not least : Achilles designed for fire support with his Chain-Gun-Arm.
Because they're the only troopers that can have high Calibres, Biomechs are the heroes of any Syntha army. But they're weak, much more than any synthetic standard trooper.
