Smoke for both Nisse and the linked Hai Dao! But anyways, it clearly has its’ weakness, but both sides will use it to justify their complaints of why can’t “we” have x or y.
I'm a bit irritated that White Company can have Liang Kai in a core fireteam but he can't in a Yu Jing faction with Shaolin. Also their CC monster Gina Carano, can be in any fireteam while ours, Jing Qo, gets a duo. This will be a fantastic assault team. KAPLAN Spitfire / Pistol, Knife.

So seeing how you wish to build fireteams, I definitely understand your disappointment of WB. I myself would never build such a fireteam, and prefer the 2 aro piece and goons defensive link, or the barebones active link with a gunner+secondary+specialist. I feel that WB already can make those links, and I hope N4 gives us more. I do also like a beefy Haris, but I can never justify a beefy 5-man unless I take Hollowmen.
That's pretty much it with WB. I can't make the type of core teams I want. For some reason Ye Mao can't do a core but for some reason, their equivalents in other sectorals can, and it makes me jealous as hell. I'm not a fan of the cheap Zhanshi or expensive SJ. The Z team gets destroyed with ease so far and when I try to do SJ I'm obligated to do a limited insertion and it's just not good that way. After getting my ass handed to me so many times with YJ you kinda need to put a stop to it.
Yeah, I was more being sarcastic about the negativity here. We need to see the full N4 rework and THEN rage quit.
Time for something else. Lets talk Oktavia and Tao Wu. I would take take TW in vanilla for sure. He's a pretty good back field guy. Burst 3 Nanopulsar is pretty sweet. Due to Oktavia I'm pretty sure I can now make a YJ army without YJ troops.
Still no merc Lieutenant, we also don't know if Vanilla keeps access to all the limited edition mercs from N3.
Well I do this just about every year they come out with some new Merc. Zhanying is stand in for Oktavia.

I love picturing TaoWu like old school Mysterio from Marvel flooding a room with multicolored poisoned clouda
I wonder if Haidao CoC is available in White Company. Not that it makes much of a difference, just wondering if they have IA access or merely Vanilla access.
I will be honest, I am looking at running White Company as full YuJing variant through proxies, because why not, and it gives a different favour.
White Company looks like fun to try if you kept both halves of a Kaldstrom box. I think the biggest win of the NA2 sectorials has been encouraging people to branch out into owning models from a second top-level faction.
I already do that with my White Tigers of the West Dahshat. And right now White Company looks more White Banner to me than WB.
Agent Dao ying showing up in the caravanasary "I'm putting together a team..." Same, probs going to get someone else to paint them, I love the kaplans and dont want to fuck it up.
Looks like I misread the link on WC varangian. They can only do duo and Shona can join that. They can't join Kaplan. Man I hate how they show fire teams! Kosmo can do a core but need to add a wildcards to make it 5-man... I think.
