GenCon news.

I don't have anything against real japaneses. On the contrary, I like lots of things of their culture and their way of life. They're supercool. I don't have anything against JSA player either... I was Just getting inside the character.

If someone felt ofended, my sincerest apologies.

 

We were in desperate need of some juice.

The pointing one is a spitfire. options on the box are from left to right spitfire, grenade launcher, hacker ans sniper

An army vulnerable to isolation and especially E/M needs pretty good engineers. On every linkteam if posible, or with some kind of Toolkit to take down those states with ease without a heavy toll in a short order pool.

The evo seems a good pick up to invincible. 2 AD troopers, defensive programs (reboot, faery dust and kaleidoscope) and team pro to avoid the loose of tokens due to bad luck. My only problem with it is the lack of any defensive weapon. I hope they give the EVOs a heavy pistol just like the panguling in the CBL. It also have some advanced defensive protocols

 

Do you mean the pointing one is the hacker because that's the one I was referring to. So I'm actually happy about this! :) If they come out with it separate I can add it to the ones I already have.

 

Wait what?

January is a long ways away, and there's still Interplanetario coming. GenCon/Interplanetario are tricky, because CB has to distribute the hype across two different events. I'd expect a lot more to come.

Similarly, Varuna's only a few months away, and received a similar amount of new dossier art.

So I don't think Invincible Army is necessarily that far off. In fact, I'd say things are very promising for an early 2019 release.

Also, please, let's keep the ethnic slurs out of here. Thanks to @Section9 for that.

Regarding the CG box... The LGL looks to be holding a Kuang Shi device in his offhand, and I see no underbarrel attachment on the guy with the funny helmet. This makes me think the LGL is also the Kuang Shi controller, and funny helmet is a Hacker.

 

imagine if the engineer one had a nisse like profile, mimetism, msv2, msr. Would probs but like 40pts thougg

 

Agree. January is a long way away already, far too long for my tastes. Hopefully we get at least something out of November.

IA as late as Adepticon is pretty much "Done fucked up hard" territory.

 

I'm pretty sure it's the January release, especially with Bostria saying they are gonna be showing things till the end of the year. Seems a pretty big release, which makes sense after the Uprising debacle.

 

I think January is a good bet. Means they've given themselves plenty of hype time from November, which makes sense.

That said, they might bring out a tease release this side of christmas as part of that hype!

 

I don't really think it will be S5 either, but to be fair, Yan Huo looked like this on their dossier:

 

So... Will Yan Huo be linkable, do we think? Ala Sogarats, Daiyokai and Azra'il? 2 big lads and a small one as artillery spotter?

 

I doubt we will see anything other than Duo due to the Burst 5 cap.

 

Full Auto is not compatible with other Burst mods. Burst 5 is the max Kriza can reach...

 

There's a few of those hidden no-go interactions. Long range or SWC weapons on Sensor is another.

 

It is. Technically you can get HMG into a link (Burst 5) and then loot another HMG from Panoply (for Burst 6).

Technically possible, but extremely unlikely.

 

I'm wondering if IA is going to have a fireteam featuring the Guijia.
Seems like an interesting way to make the faction a bit more unique, and hopefully leads to some profile tweaks to Guijia as well.

Likely not the most optimal thing, but just imagining a core fireteam with Guijia, Deflector Zuyong, possibly engineer Haidao and then what ever else you need.

Reminds me of armoured units pushing up with infantry behind them

 

The wiki is down atm, but I'm sure I remember (thanks autocorrect for fixing that to dementia) that twin weapon also has a line about burst bonus not stacking, as do fireteam bonus.
