What can we expect from Vedic

It's possible the Dakinis Special team includes Davanas.

Would be disappointing if it didn't consisting Bostria's comments on its release.

 

I don't think so, the Danavas doesn't list FT options. Most likely, it's Dakini + Deva.

 

Full AVA on Dakinis. Paging @drasnighta

 

I'd be guessing Dakinis + either a Yadu or Deva. Maybe with option to add Sophotect. Pure Dakini + Sophotect would be solid because they're all 6-4, but I feel like Deva and Yadu are the "Team-makers" of the sectorial.

Super keen to see how all the "Special" fireteam options land though... Especially for the Rudras and Samekh.

I feel like the CSU Duo is gonna be a staple in almost every list - as it seems to be for NCA in my Meta. Either 24pts for double Combi/LSG or 27 to change one to a Breaker rifle. Decent stats, specialist operatives on both, DTWs, and whatever MetaChem decides to hand out.

 

So it looks like Andromeda is the most capable CC fighter of the OS. Kinda justifies why she is part of the Sectorial as an option. Not a very attractive one though.

 

I prefer to receive the incoming melee wannabe with a shoot to the face and a mine. Or an electric pulse, or an old, omnipresent template XD

 

Except that it wont work against the AC2.

 

So Yadu just got Advanced Deployment. Then again... so did Grenzers, Intruders, Moiras and Sin Eaters (and half of USARF)

 

Devas are actually LI, so don't get the "Bravery" buff.

 

Devas are Light Infantry.

 

That doesn't help with the Predator classified.

 

The Mark V also got Advanced Deployment Lvl 2. And it already moves 4-4!! Very easy to just put that bad boy on suppression in good range with minimum orders. And unlike anything else in the game, the Posthuman doesn't even do your opponent the decency of removing its order once it's been killed!

 

Also a MI for the new classifieds that are MI/HI only. And he's a Veteran. And he's an FO. :) he's just missing d-charges, really...

 

That data was not available when I made the comment, but yeah. More reasons to remain Vanilla :p

Yup, the Mk5 is *THE* ITS10mvp in Aleph at this moment. I'd say he shouldn't be MI, frankly... But Aleph has literally few MI to begin with (Thorakitai, Agema, Yadu and Mk5, plus the Thora & Agema & Yadu characters), and I'm wondering if we will be forced to choose between Apsaras and the Posthuman proxies (but the Apsaras can be deployed alone, so maybe not).

 

DOn't forget he can be very good nany for the xenotech : you deploy him in forward deployment and the xenotech in deployment zone (which put them around 8" away from each other). Then, to go 4" out of the DZ, the xenotech can move-move (not creating any dangerousORA) while the MK5 stay safely hidden. Placing a multiscanner then become quite easy.

 

Yadu just got FDL1

 

I want to remind everyone that if Yadu can link with Dakini, that means the Yadu HMG/Mk12/MR just can be in a link and start 4" closer to enemy. So it's almost like a 1 free order for Yadu/link team.

Also Yadu(NCO) HMG can now act as a DataTracker and Xenologist buddy, so even in 10 orders list you can have a chance of deploying MultiScanner and still have 10 orders to use to kill enemy.

What's more is a fact that if you have right specialist on table (particullary easy for OSS with Sophotec/PostHumans, obligatory Hacker, Posthumans FO's) he gets +3 WIP to deploy MultiScanner (so good WIP14 instead of mere WIP11).

 

Probably lets the Rudra link with a Samekh in a Rem Duo, like some of the Closed Yuandun Battle lists.

 

Asura multi hd+/spitfire, yadu hmg/hrl yadu bs ahd would be a very tonky haris, albeit costing half of your points and swc.

 

Backed by Dakini fireteam, infiltrator or two - or Posthumans - and Netrods? Perfectly playable.
