    What does montessa tikbalang mean?

    All of that sounds really awesome - particularly OS joining other links, and fk linking with OS. Very cool.

    Tikbalang TAG with different loadout, apparently 'acquired' by Montessas to reinforce MO while Acon is out for rest&refit.

    Thanks for translating that for those that don't speak Spanish!

    Dang, Varuna sounds evil. Squishier than Invincible Army, but similar number of raw orders in a single combat group, possibly.

    And I'm like halfway there to a Mercedarian Order Hospitaliers list...

    Instead of giving it super jump? Or fixing super jump rules, so at least the auxbot can move or something?

    Being squishier but with the same amount of orders doesn't mean anything good.

    Extra burst then :P Interesting is nice, but Burst and BS mods win the game.

    Hey, if it means the Seraph is 4pts cheaper i'm fine with it for now.

    It's a shame that the unit out of the box is so unintuitive though.

    Or you can wait for the profiles to be updated before drawing conclusions and the fluff to be released to see the justifications for some things.

    I have to combine the two Hospitalers rumours here because I see both mentioned.
    Hospitaler link and Crusade link, one does not exclude the existence of the other as a possibility.

    Auxbot is one of the best spent 4 pts in the game imo.

    Not when it's an anchor to a super-jumping unit.

    That's just bad design or way too late bugfixing.

    I'm really confused by the special Fusilier+Kamau fire team when Kamau can join any fireteam already? Just seems to be really redundant?

    I theorise it's like the Frontovik+Vet Kazak team, it was created before the decision to make the Kamau Wildcards.

    I think is Fusilier+Orc and then Kamau Wildcard, dont remember them having any Fusi+Kamau special fireteam

    According to the summary of the podcast info...

    Fusilier + Kamau special link is a thing, but they are also wildcards? If the info is correct that doesn't make sense to me.

    will go to hear it again, but dont remember that link being told
    it can make a difference if its the fusilier in a kamau link, that way you can add the Mechanic without needing 4 kamau

    Agreed, but remember this was showcased in a podcast and they weren't reading everything with a proper wording in mind. We'll have to wait to the book release for the details.

    What does this mean?

    Because if you have BS13, Mimetism troops that are 1 Wound... Versus BS12 HI that are 2 Wounds... Those are simply different strengths. Both are good, and I'm sure many players would be very happy with the BS13 Mimetism despite it being Squishier than than 2 Wounds.

    I'm not sure I agree on VIRD getting the same amount of Orders per Combat Group as IA. IA sounds like they're well positioned for NCO, Tac Sense and LT L2.

    For VIRD, NCO is a leadership rule we've heard that's firm. Tac Sense and LT L2 haven't really been indicated, though Tac Sense on an ORC HMG would be nice.

    I get your point, but a 78 point superjumping tag with a spitfire has a certain something to it though.

    For me it’s actually the coordinated order, without having to ditch the Auxbot first.

    Sorry, could somebody point me to the "Tactical Sense" skill description, not finding it anywhere. Thanks!

    That model gets an extra irregular order that he can use on himself, be him a solo or a member of a link team

    New skill, full description not yet available. Appears to be an Irregular order a unit generates in addition to its Regular order. Rumors also indicate it will be usable in a Fireteam.
