Which unit do you think will get auxbots? It would be nice if it would be Echo Bravo and Zulu. Anyway, I think Varuna will be our MRRF as we see rather only light units. Even the name of the sectorial calls for speed. As for the starter, it is sillier than the NCA one. But I think that they took the most used profiles by the testers and that's why we see them. And if Kamau can't be linked in core or can't exceed 3 members in a FT, that would make sense.
Personally, I have been super excited for Varuna for many years. And with this latest studio update, I was screaming in joy! I love the look for all the units, especially the Helots! Looking forward to the starter!
Also worth noting (apologies if someone has) that the name of the Sectorial likely means low model count, well equipped troops.
Honestly. Artwork looks baller. But nothing in there that stands out. No new weapons No weapons like multi mkmn or mine dispenser No troops that look like they offer a new means of gameplay. And im betting not the EB is basically an akal/crusder with maybe 2 gun profiles the other two dont get. And that zulu is dying to be another odd skirmisher exactly like the locust. Resounding "looks like the same shit" to me
The helots he said would bring something not really seen in PanO and whispered Camoflague, but he also mentioned camo poncho for the Zulu (although that might have been more general and meant TO, or maybe even ODD). Just checked and for the Zulu he said ‘camo poncho, or whatever it is’.
Not entirely, we are getting marksmen rifles, red furies, and Orc's with Fuerbach which are all new weapons for Pano troops. And yes, it does mean Varuna isn't going to play any different to regular old Pano, its still a shoot first and shoot last faction. However, as I've said before, if we are going to be that faction then we need a larger variety of weapons. And this is certainly a step in the right direction.
