I like how YuJing finally get IA, the vaunted "HI Army" except with Zanshi... and then MO (already used as a virtual HI only army by some) shifts to be even better ran as an HI-only army since their cheapest LI are gone. Top trolling from PanO high command there
Everyone see that Teutons have Core Haris Special for their fireteams? Hot damn I hope there’s more than a cosmetic “here have a Haris dude and some points drops” rework. Also the presence of the Tik means that the One True Link is no longer the only way to shoot your way out of the DZ! Mimetic BS15 HMG will do just fine thank you. Glad I just picked up a box of Santiago’s, the D-charges are sorely needed and the KHD is out of left field but much appreciated! Father Knights have Special fireteams, hopefully Wildcard but at least be able to join an OS core. Will really help to get those guys back on the table!
Well, maybe Tikbalangs belong to Montesa order too? Would make sense... This far, I really like what is happening to us. I can't wait to see what will CB do to NCA in the future.
OMG. I only just realised, nobody has noticed that we have lost access to Bipandra. I do oh so hope that this is an oversight on the part of CB, given she made every single one of my MO lists. I know everyone here will feel the same.
Who the heck cares about Bipandra ?:P Yes we lost access to Fusiliers, which will actually force very different list building, as it seems atm. only MO Lt options are HI.
Somewhere over the rainbow (eg. November). We have 2-3 weeks of full speculation and theory list building.
Update the tactica? Forget that, time to write a new one BECAUSE THIS IS A WHOLE NEW SECTORIAL. The dream is real boys. THE DREAM IS REAL. OMG. That santigo remake. I always loved the spanish knights fluff but they were never quite good enough. Now they are most certainly good enough. Not only do we gain a KHD but he has a TINBOT as well. MO has a tinbot FINALLY! I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶S̶a̶n̶t̶i̶a̶g̶o̶ ̶t̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶5̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶Joan HI ̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶has 4 ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶i̶s̶t̶s̶.̶ Edit: dang, just noticed they are only ava 3. Well that makes the blister of 4 of them invalid. OH MY GOD 2019 has become the YEAR of Pano. Deus Vult! Dart is really weird in MO but she is a great infiltrator with E/M grenades. I feel like she was included to make up for losing the Montesa as a mid field option. And the Tikbalangs give MO our best long range option. I feel like Seraph might as well not exists at this point unless you want to do a dual TAG list. I'm hoping for a similarly awesome Tuetonic order rework. They have Haris which is nice and Santiagos are wildcards which finally give Tuetons a specialist option. I'm not holding my breath for eclipse grenades but something has to be done to distinguish them from Magisters. All the Haris options are a dream come true for me. I have always been a proponent of the Order Sergeant link team and they will greatly benefit from HI haris options to support them. Also, I hope the Father Knights get a rework and I'm interested in what is their special fireteam option. Maybe they are wildcards like santiagos but then again maybe not because I don't know how they could compete. P.S. Good riddance to the Fusiliers. They never belonged, the infidels. :P
My Santiago core is gone... as well as bsg option... Maybe I was the only one who used them but still that hurts. Otherwise changes are pretty good. Loss of fusilier lt will also hurt a lot. I don't know who to do lt now.
