Ignoring the sword for a moment, the sculpt is incredibly unwieldy due to it's lateral extension ... which could have been mitigated by getting rid of the sword. You can't escape it. To be fair, though: The general design is stellar.
I love the Red Veil Daofei sculpt! Apart from the disconnect with him waving a sword he's one of my faves
If they just changed it from Shock CCW to DA, things would be different. I mean for the some missions. Not to kill stuff. Though it would be better for that too.
Every new profile takes us further from getting a new Wu Ming with MULTI rifle + LGL model. I am happy to see that the fluff for white banner has not been confused by adding another line infantry. My biggest concern is the pose and load-out of the daofei.
he lacks the braids. A massive crime to omit them from the original sculpt when that was an iconic look.
Also the daofei is a manlet. ARM 4 but very skinny. It's really serious, sad to see only two braids in the whole Imperial Service.
Qiang Gao, Invincible Officer, wildcard in White Banner Army, restricted to the one link where he can do the least good in Invincible Army. I hope this gets fixed by N4.
Don't forget "outclassed in Invincibles by normal Zuyongs" (he's pretty decent in White Banner, though, so simply moving him to Wildcard in IA could see him some play in non-Zuyong centric lists potentially displacing the Daoying as LT on rare occassions)
While we are proposing fixes for IA, they should probably put fireteam Haris on tinbot Tai Sheng so you don't end up with 2 tinbots in every Haris she's a part of.
... Take the Mk12? I mean, I just don't see any reason why you'd ever want to have both Tai Sheng tinbot and a zuyong tinbot in the same fireteam.
That's what I am saying? Give Tai Sheng haris so you don't need to take the Zuyong haris with tinbot to use the Tai Sheng model we have in a Haris team.
Alright I get ya. Yeah something like Zuyong HMG/Tai sheng Tinbot/Haidao KHD would definitely be an interesting haris, though I could see the point being made that Taï sheng MK12/Zuyong haris/ haidao KHD is a better fit for an agressive 3-man Team.
Well, if only they’d given us the correct Tai Sheng model, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. If they absolutely had to retcon him into a woman, CB at least could have given her the Mk12.
Seems to be almost universally 1 point (with Shang-Ji as exception) and extremely commonly 0,5 SWC. Units such as Ye Mao may or may not get it for free, though that's a lot harder to tell. I'm fairly certain she'd be 0,5 SWC if she had Haris is what I'm getting at.
As an aside, I'm pretty sure the "Krit was supposed to be Tai" theory is actually false. He shares both his name and look with a real person.
Some things about Yan Huo in n4. First, from the video on YT with Kaldstrom profiles in C1 we know few things. Look at Adil, he has nanopulser with special trait: burst +1, and in n3 he has 2 nanopulsers so twin weapon rules are changing. He also has special skill that gives -3 to opponents cc, very likely that we might see same skill for BS instead of full auto. The whole argument of comparing Kriza now has easy fix. Kriza gets hmg burst +1 as do Yan Huo ML, kriza gets new skill -3 bs, yan huos could also get that. Another thing about Yan Huo being slow. As we hear most HIs are supposed to get 6-2 mov. It wouldnt be so strange if YH got 4-4. He is still slower than other HIs as intended, but when you consider 4-2 slow you intend to use mov-mov, and in that case 4-4 is the same as 6-2. Fluff wise its perfect, when he just carries his massive guns he is as fast as others. But when he finally sets those big boys down he gets slower going 4+bs instead of 6+bs.
