Gorgeous, I'm hype! Edit: Although now that I think about it... will there be a cool SWC box for winter zans and fusis?!
"Holding a sword shooting a pistol" but exactly an uncommon pose across all miniatures games. The DF Civvie is in the same pose as the O-12 Commissioner, and also my boss in a meeting he doesn't like.
So... Zhanshi with stylish jackets Guilang BSG Jujak is HI (looks like MK12?) Ambush unit has sniper and is likely LI Daofei looks like Combi
Looks solid, although I'm not sure if I like Jujak yet. My only question is what to do with 3 more Zhanshis as I already own 8 of them. I believe @ObviousGray mentioned Jujak to be some sort of mythical fire related beast or so.
well thats definitely the infamerer of saint Lazarus, since he's holding a medkit EDIT: also I just noticed it says their name under each image I was just poking fun at the chick with the sword cocked back like a baseball bat – sort of like this guy
Good call. I actually really like the Justice from what I can see, she's doing more of an uppercut compared to the Konstantinos/Father/Santiago Knight's overhead chop. The pose is nice and dynamic without being Speculo-y
they all look awesome to me. Jujak looks like a heavy flame thrower. Maybe like a HI naffatun? The Ninja looks pretty kick ass! I'm glad he has a NA2 symbol. Hoping I can take him in Ikari at least.
yeah, its really cool and I'm excited. It's appropriately action-y without looking too abstract. Capes definitely help define the movement. Lazarus is neat too – looks like a black friar took his mask off. Deffo Medium Infantry. Hopefully he's good. Don't really have a great look at the ORC, is he hacking? The Nokken is also in a pseudo hack pose. BSG on what I imagine will be an infiltrator is cool too – nice to see PanO divorce the "everyone has a combi" mentality
I think that the Asian guy at the centre in the box dire foes, is the Yu Jing Diplomat of the manga Outrage.
Huh, PanO don't have a "looking down the rifle sight" Fusilier, I guess they're using Mr Pistol for the examples in the booklet.
Yeah, I'm just gonna' say it, the YJ side is getting shafted 100%. The sculpts are honestly trash when compared to their counter parts and even when judging them by themselves. - The Zhanshi's: they are just boring old Zhanshi's with the Simpsons level of meme by making a new Malibu Stacy Doll with a new hat, instead this time it's a new coat. Aside from that, they are Zhanshi, the less you take in your lists the better it becomes, it's not like PanO who have actual reasons to bring more Fusiliers. - The Guilang: Thanks, I hate it. Thanks for FINALLY remaking the Guilang's only to release literally the second worst profile ever available to them, only topped by the abysmal sniper. - The Dao Fei: Worst model in the box. It looks like it's designed by 2 people who haven't been talking together, so the bottom half is stiff and immobile, while the upper part wanted a dynamic and moving pose, which looks dreadful (and this isn't speaking about the fact that the unit is terrible in CC and have no business being in CC, other than performing Coup De Grâce. - Literally a Daoying with a fur coat: So I was confused as to why they remade the Daoying with a fur coat, only to realise that that is the new unit... Which doesn't bode well unless the stats are insane. CB, for some reason, seems to have been pushing several sniper profiles in YJ and they still haven't figured out that they all are bad with the only exception being the Hai Dao, but let's be real here, if that guy came with an alternative for MSV2 HMG instead, we all KNOW what we would be choosing instead, that profile has little to do with being a good sniper profile, rather than the fact that he happens to be a MSV2 platform. As for the Daoyinh with a fur coat, an additional point is subtracted for the fact that they remade that overly used Female Intruder Sniper pose. - The Korean unit: He looks like an asian Naffatun, but truth be told that's a shit picture so I'll wait for some better ones. Cautiosly optimistic here, although it is annoying to see that his feet can barely fit the base, which I hate when that happens. - The Dire Foes dude: This guy is cool... he can stay..
Thankfully that shitty profile does not exist, so even CB cannot fuck that up, unless they troll and make another profile upon its release.
