Which one is the AD? Both have two random words in their name, nearly as bad as trying to remember Tohaa or Yu Jing.
It’s been a constant tease of “special ORC profiles for Varuna!” for at least a year now. So Patsy and speshul ORCs are still unknown. And the ORCs did get a new logo identifying them as “Varuna” ORCs. Also the specifics on the fireteams - where do the special options fit in? Otherwise all set to go!
Pretty sure we know almost all the specials. There isn't a ton of surprises on the sectorial list. Fusils, Kamau, and ORCs all have "special" listed, we know Kamau have wildcard, and we know ORC can join a fusil team. that pretty much covers all of them. We see the Machinist has special as well, if acon is anything to go by he'll probably be able to join any Kamau team. Clipper also has special, my bets are he can join a Kamau team or ORC team. just judging by the past sectorials. no huge surprises there. the characters have special which just means they'll probably be a "counts as" for link composition. And to me, all these link options sound link a similar amount to other sectorials, if not a tad bit more. The ORC options are more interesting to me. I wonder if the "Varuna" exclusives will end at the feuerbach. We saw an MSR on the original dossier but my guess is that it's gone. I would be really surprised, but very happy, if they did some random one-off profiles like a mimetism, or some type of special equipment profile. Maybe they'll throw in one more specialist profile.
i feel like the Helots and specialy the Zulu are Nomad units that got lost into the wrong neighborhood
ZCs definitely seem to be better Hecklers, better BS and proper camo with a corresponding price bump. I'm not going to complain though as it opens up a lot of possibilities. Helots are just weird with all Neurokcinetics and really great loadouts, if anything they're a PanO Chaksa. Really they're just funky aliens with funky profiles and I approve!
Not PanO Chaksa. PanO Kaauri. Primarily defensive, decent weapon choices, some tricks up their sleeves. Wysłane z mojego Lenovo A6020a40 przy użyciu Tapatalka
Additional thought: new units and changes look like someone at CB said "guys, I think bloat is a bad thing after all" [emoji14] Wysłane z mojego Lenovo A6020a40 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I am wondering if we gonna see a KHD Croc men!? CB seems awfully nice today in handing out good upgrades. The Spektr got one with Tunguska too. maybe throw in a SMG, while we're at it! XD
wouldn't be surprised probably not, I think we would have seen it in the starter set instead of the 6.5 swc we got
Maybe thats a surprise decoy like the "Visor" on the Echo Bravo and the MO Order box that is 300 points after all. :D
One thing people seem to be passing over is the mention that Squalo are getting a Zapper. Haven't seen a profile but it was specifically mentioned in the first video.
The starter box image in the video doesn't specify a type, just "Hacker" so there's hope! Not much hope mind you, but it's there.
Well, we know that all the Kamau weapons, bar the HMG, are 1.5 SWC. unless they suddenly make a MSR 1 SWC, which would be pretty unheard of, or the HRL 1. I can't think of a unit that has this, especially not a BS13 mimetism piece. We saw today the spitfire on the Zulu is 1.5 Unless the hacking device suddenly becomes free? No complaints here Or the ORC has a 1 SWC feuerbach. maybe on a LT profile? once again, no complaints if they decide to do that. tbh, I don't really care if the starter is 6.5 SWC. I don't plan on using all of it together anyway. I probably wouldn't use the MSR and the HRL Kamau in the same list
