Really Bit is lost ? That's a massive bummer ... That Raktorak Dat Core Team though fits exactly into what I was missing . More affordable Harris options in Yaogats Rak and Rodoks looks also well complementing.
I'm taking that roster image with a massive pinch of salt, typos are usually plentiful in CB information. I'd be surprised if we lost anything.
Now I'm imagining a Zerat biker with the old Kum girl pose and a red baboon ass. ... I mean, as a Morat she's gonna have a red ass anyway, so make it fluorescent or something XD
Morats rescued her though, and she has an idealized vision of what the CA is. To her they're a noble warrior race. It made sense to me. If Bit shouldn't have been in MAF, she shouldn't have been in any of the other Sectorials.
Was Worried for a bit but you're right, the old force chart didn't show any fire team options for the Sogarats either. So there is still hope for that link to remain
One user on the facebook said that there are more changes to MAF and that we didn't see everything, so I will wait for the book to see whole picture before any evaluation of reworked MAF.
The old force chart didn't list Bit & Kiss or list fire team options next to the Sogarats. So there is still a good chance that both will still exist in the reworked sectorial
I think waiting for the book and/or Army updates is generally good advice that I fully expect to see ignored by the majority of the forums over the next month.
If you can manage to run a fully tooled core link, take all your specialists and other support troops, and somehow end up with 45-47pts and 2 SWC left over... Then I suggest you recheck what faction you're playing, because it sure as s**t isn't Morats. Suryat in Vanguard link is solid. But I think the Tactical Sense thing is a waste - only 1 profile, not the Lt profile, not usable in link (irregular order). Seems like something that will be of use (potentially) to Onyx players, not MAF. Raktorak Wildcard is nice - Datz Core being able to take a specialist is solid. It also opens the opportunity for Kornak/2 Suryat/2 Raktorak links for even cheaper Suryat Core. Rodok Haris - this was needed. But will be a tableflip if the Haris option costs more than 0.5 swc (which wasn't addressed with Suryats) I'm hoping these are just some of the changes. Whilst they are some solid quality of life improvements, the failure to address Suryats PH and no changes to their pricing has me bummed. Also, if we've lost Bit&Kiss, I sincerely hope we get another profile with KHD - otherwise we're the only non-Ariadnan faction without access to a KHD. Even Tohaa have one. I'll defs be trying Suryat/Van core and Rak/Datz core once the rules become official.
Raktorak won't mesh well with the Rodoks, but what I am really hoping for is that they finally let the useless Kurgat Autocannon join a haris.
Will mesh about as well as a Nexus does with Rodoks :P But it doesn't really provide a cheaper profile. Only upside would be the Red Fury.
Other interesting implications - Kornak / Raktorak / Raktorak Haris - replacing both Soggies in the special link. Interesting because it is an 85/0 min and can function without requiring any SWC. Though you'd probably go for the 86/0 option for Kornak/Combi-HFT/Vulkan Shotty team. Suryat / Raktorak Duos - to just piggyback specialists into midfield. Arguably less important with MI getting Fwd Depl, but it's something.
I'm sitting confortably in the 'wait for the book' corner right now, but in an attempt to inject some positivity into a bit of a wet-fart reveal, based on what little we know is coming, and what we have in army right now, we can rustle up something like this: Morat Aggression Force ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 5 SURYAT HMG + TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Pistol, CCW. (2 | 45) RAKTORAK Combi Rifle + Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 23) MORAT (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 15) MORAT Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16) MORAT Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14) 2 SWC | 113 Points Open in Infinity Army Which isn't too shabby really, HMG on a BS16 base, B2 HFT specialist, then season to taste with mooks, in a fireteam that's immune to isolation and LoL, oh and there's a -3 mod to exhile as well
I think I missed it - was it confirmed that we're going to get all of these changes in army builder only when book is released in November, or it's going to be updated in a day or two like ACON army was updated?
