Feuerbach for sure as it is one we get in faction already. I like the BSGx2 idea, add a Nanopulsar and that would be an interesting variation on the Lunokhods.
More than just different weapon loadouts I would like to se some interesting/different/unique skills and equipment options for the Rudras
Wow. We still get no profiles. We got Dakini box renders and that's all. Just wow. As for renders, they're quite disappointing. Paramedic is meh, HMG is okay but what's with the ammo drum, are we Morats now?! Sniper is okayish. I'm not a fan of the kneeling pose, looks too human. Only glimmer of hope is that they gave us only 3 Dakinis because 4th is a new loadout. But I'd be willing to bet it's actually because the 4th model is a tinbot and that will be the new loadout. Overall, I am hugely disappointed and discouraged by all this. Also, the more I see new Rebots, the less I like them. Frankly, Coldfront and OperationS is just being more and more lame.
I was surprised that they kept the profiles back :/ must be for Nova as there s still that to go before the seminar season ends for the year. Would have kept the dakinis and line kazaks back instead
True, although with rebots coming out soon and not having finished painting cold front yet, the old dakini were going to be filling in until October at the earliest xD
3D modeling recycling, plus designs easier to assemble in 2-3 pieces, plus... Inevitable. I find amusing, however, how the Dakinis look so organic while the Rudras look so robotic... I would have preferred the inverse, in a "comically missing the point" for Aleph. Nanopulser is so las edition... nowadays is all about the E/M templates! ^^ I mentioned the Feuerbach as a "safe bet", frankly, and even that is going too much in the Tsyklon's alley. The HMC is, however, a piece I would love to see on the Rudras.
A couple setorials are *really* bad for that mission. Tunguska, for example. Wouldn't surprise me if Vedic was the same.
Tuguska at least has Perseus(+Link). If you want someone who really hates playing Looting and Sabotaging NCA really hates it. Vedic seems to be in a very similar condition, but at least they get multiple Infiltrating Specialists with Marker State to grab some D-Charges. Still, what a terribly designed mission.
Bullet bit - just lodged an order for Support Pack, Danavas, Garuda and Posthumans 2.0 to go with my Coldfront :D
I feel that ALEPH humanoid bots are somehow like Institute Synth, that Rebots are like skeletal Gen 1 or worse, Dakinis and their counterparts are more like Gen 2 Synth with a bit refined humanoid body but still robotic, that being successed by the more advance artificial Lhost that is Gen 3 Synth with (near) perfect human features.
A lot is lame. There's always things that end up not to one's hopes. Unfortunately, in this case, most things disappointed me. But if you want a list of good things: Dart everything new Dakini sculpts Shukra sculpt Asura sculpt Rudra profile has a lot of potential even if it's not quite to my hopes
No, the fact that was all we got previewed was what sucked. Detailed breakdown: basic body design is great the 3 Combi Rifles in Coldfront are awesome the SWC box sculpts are all okay, but not great Paramedic one is, eh. Would be better if it had some robotic addon medikit rather than being "human in robot suit" style what is with the ammo drum on HMG?! Are we Morats?! kneeling pose for Sniper is again, "human in robot suit" effect. It looks lame. Look at how its "toes" are positioned. At the very least they could have made them bend in odd, robotic ways to show robot body designers planned for similar pose. Also, for REMs that cannot go prone, they are quite nimble only 3 sculpts?
