So far I can see: Montessa is gone we got the biker Tikbalang gets a second profile with Duo for 1 point *tumbleweed* Machinists gets a Fireteam option with Mimetism and Multiterrain (3 points) joins BaghMari Fireteams only Fireteam changes up to 2 BaghMari into a Regular Fireteam up to 1 ORC into Regular Fireteam Rao joins any Fireteam Singh is untouched. Rao only has Fireteam change. Please, correct if I missed something.
REM AVAs stayed as before, so AVA2 Bulleteer and Mulebot, AVA4 Palbots. No ORC Feuerbach (yet?). Bagh-mari links got cooler. Sadly, if I understood it correctly, Machinist can't join linkteam with Regulars. You can put up to 2 Bagh-maris and up to 1 ORC to Regular Core. So finally Regulars can have HMG (no ML/HRL though). Combi + Light shotgun is still expensive, but Bagh maris got enough cheap filler. Mimetism Machinist is cool, though expensive. He should drop the combi, get a PDW (like assaul pistol or submachine gun) and stop pretending he's a soldier. AVA4 Guarda and AVA5 Akal, because you will never use that.
As before. Used once a 3 GdA list. It was funny but I think it should be played in 400 pts lists only.
Great changes regarding mixed fire teams - baghmaris in regulars will be great. Baghmari Snipers will be replacing my sappers whenever I will have points for that. The number of minelayers intensifies! HMG Orc for those who prefer more armor. Maquinista in bags is a nice idea, a decent specialist that will make that core/harris cheaper. Thankfully AVAs on rems stayed the same! Biggest letdown in our characters, still I don't see a reason to field them. Overall cool stuff!
It makes no sense at all, even if the justification was that it was too good in Vanilla it should be a ASA only option at 0 SWC. Massive missed oppertunity with Rao and Singh as well. Rao should have got COC or NCO at least and Sing is still overcosted.
What would be too good in a WIP13 cheerleader FO? Rao is boring, doesn't do much. Combi rifle, yay. with an assault pistol strapped on for no reason.
Montesa bikers also already available to MO. Still as pointless as normal Montesa, if not more so. If I want a flanking Multi Rifle I can just take a Crusader...
Btw Montesa's WIP is the same on or off the bike. There were a lot of typos in that video. I suppose if Bagh-maris join a Regular fireateam, then that doesn't count as a bagh mari fireteam, so machinist can't join it. Is there any reason to put an ORC into a Regular fireteam, instead of a Bagh-Mari?
They're only AVA2 in vanilla of course, so it's not like you could load up on them... The mixed link changes are big, and nice to see the Machinist get something interesting. Looks solid, and I'll update the tactica this week to reflect the update.
Neither can Multi Rifle Montesa. And drops in with AD. Hell, Crusader can just take HMG and make 4-2 MOV irrelevant. And it's not like Crusaders are particularly effective.
