Interesting that the Haidao is missing the COC option in Vanilla, presumably so it doesn't compete with the Pheasant. That was probably unnecessary given taking the CoC Haidao would've had its own limitations with AVA1 locking out the MSR.
Yeah Tai Sheng MK12 with CoC costs 14pts more than my beloved pheasant red fury but she is clearly worth it. On the other hand, now that we have a proper support Lt with the daoying and two NCO options I don't feel like we need a chain of command that much anymore.
Just built my starter last night, went together really easy but whoever designed the Liu Xing needs to have his spleen carved out with a rusty spoon. A giant HI ni a wild pose with a big jump-pack jumping off a single ruined terrain piece that's holding the entire weight of the metal miniature...and it's a separate leg from the body. WHAT?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! Why on earth would you make the weight-bearing leg for that model the separate piece?! Now that the glue has cured overnight I think I may have to drill in from the outside and add a couple pins just to make sure it's secure, the 3D sculpted joints are great and fitment is perfect, but they don't play well with pins
Uh, provided you didn't use terrible cheap glue that trapezoid shouldn't need any additional assistance in holding the model together.
I've just assembled mine too, they went together well (little bit of bending to get the hands to meet the opposite arm for the wrist connection) and I think 'in the flesh' they look even better than on the box art. Feeling of energy and dynamism to them, like they're either moving or tensing up and just about to get moving. Very pleased with them so far. Now to prime...
