It's pretty clear that for Russians vs. Ubiquitous Internet Entity the box will be named "Operation: QuitFacebook."
Not going to lie, if that was the style of the Ratnik, I'd be super excited as I've always been a fan of that style of hardsuit.
You mean seventh? Starter boxes are six miniatures and as someone pointed out, the group photos usually leaves one of the three basic riflemen out. The sixth Vedic that's not shown in pictures is a third Dakini 2.0. If the Kazakjack is the exclusive, then there's a miniature missing in the Ariadnan group photo since that one only had 4 silhouettes.
As for people concerned that the Redjack/Ratnik/Kazakjack is a bit odd looking, or looks like a warjack, keep in mind some of the fatty HI sometimes look a bit odd in the artwork. CB promotional artwork can be very different proportion wise compared to the final miniature. Hell I imagine if they took the box/book art for the blackjack and silhouetted it, we would have probably been saying the same things. Granted I am very biased... I for one support our new Ratnik overlords.
Think bigger. Any word as any part of speech. English has lots of precise rules, but just in case you haven't noticed, we in the Anglo-Saxon sphere have quite a rebellious streak and do delight in breaking arbitrary rules. Imagine what would Happen if someone tried to impose a Real Academia Española equivalent on Anglophones? And it is Operation: adjective noun in both cases. CB is *borrowing* from the US military's current convention for naming. Those two lumps on the redjack's shoulders, Vodka flasks?
It doesent have to be artillery/CC, the boxes could just be twin panzerfausts whit its main handheld weapon not in the silhouette. Most of the silhouettes doesn't show their main weapon.
Frankly i love the idea of a stompy HI carrying a katyusha or urugan - you're basiclly talking a LGL with better damage and better ammo - it has speculative fire, remember? Just give it some high burst auxillary weapons, like an arm mounted molotok.
Blackjack in Silhouette legit looks like they put arms and legs on a trash can, then shoved a gun in the top of the lid.
I'm guessing they are engines. The flavor text implies that you can hear it coming. Russian Tallgeese confirmed.
Ok, yesterday was Kazak new unit so today should be Aleph new unit. Let's speculate on what will come. My guess is on a 50-ish points robot, half way between daikini and marut
The six /seven thing was my mistake but not caring about Ateks, I didn't notice that there were only four in the tak tease. That thickens the plot. Given the tunguska starter has a kriza maybe the "warjack" isn't the operation exclusive mini but part of the tak starter...
