ehhhh, Mirage 5 with Parachutist (Dep. Zone)?? That could be awesome, but for balancing, i hope that not reach the final version.
1st Bat have Mimetism in the leak, so if that makes it through to the final profile there's no point linking 2nd Bat, as I'm pretty sure the "no markers in Fireteams" rule is staying
What's exactly good about scots guards? In those price points people have HI units... Rokots are nice, cheap camo, though you are limited with 15models now, which is a bummer considering that some factions can easily have a lot of HI which can shrug whole lot of dmg, not rly sure how ariadna HI stands vs them.
Rokots are bullshit. Another BS 10 cheerleader infantry, but without DTW, so their only option i see for then is triple hidding the LT or 4 paramedics+Volkolak
Well a lot will depend on the edition. Within faction we do not have precisely stellar HI, and BS 12+Mimetism makes Scots decent gunfighters, especially if they still will retain option to become core in CHA. I kind of hope camo lt profile could sneak in there, but we shall see.
I think they are the cheapest Speculative Fire option in the game with those Grenades if the leak is right, and on Ariadnan PH will be landing them as reliably as almost anyone else's SWC-taxed LGLs. Depending on if SMG still has AP it could be an emergency option for killing TAGs or big HI as well. Not amazing, but still a versatile entry for a base LI. The total absence of SWC guns is a bit of a surprise though, not sure I'm keen on that.
Not rly sure I would ever take mimetism over +1W, +3BTS, 6-2 Move ...especially considering number of template weapons everyone has these days...
I didnt see the Muls in the file. I'm hoping they'll get a range bump too. The Rokots are such a dissapointment. With the changes to unit limit we don't need more cheap line troops. We already have 4 cheap ones and two of them are laughably terrible. *stares at Volunteers and Metros* the Volunteers were at keast useful in spamming cheap orders but thats not so useful now. It boggles my mind they'd look to the metros as the base of a new line infantry. Also after their big talk about not having to put BTS in threes anymore. These guys would have been a great opportunity to put 1 or 2 on. Not much needs to be changed. 11 BS, 1 BTS, Zero-G I think what makes this worse for me is how much I like all their load outs.
I am also disappointed about the Rokots. More for the lack of SWC weapons, but the cheapness is good. Where in Kosmoflot, everything is a little more expensive than were use to. (disregarding TAK) The ability to bring only 5 bothers me as well where every other basic line infantry is AVA: Total. I wouldn't even be upset at the BS 10 if they were given another pip of armor (thinking really bad Loup-Garous) the 0 BTS is standard for Ariadna though. I guess I was just expecting more Line Kazak and less Metro. I have made a few list with Kosmoflot, useing all the info we know, and its really rough to get 15 orders without the Rokots (again I say they need SWC weapons). The entire sectorial doesn't feel like the individual units get to shine on their own. They always have to be plugged in with a wildcard or character to be good. Rokots aren't good without a Volkolak or character attached. Kosmosoldat wants to duo with a Frontovik engineer since its hackable. Volkolak cannot form any kind of link of their own. Scots Guards should have been cheaper not more expensive. As someone on here said before, There are HI that are cheaper than they are. But very happy they got NCO. Also I think the Zenits are trash for their price but that may just be me.
Am I reading this correctly that the Dozer, and up to two Muls would account for one slot towards the 15 unit cap? Surely that is not correct.
It would have been beautiful if the Mul and the Dozer only counted as one ... Really beautiful, although maybe the 25th they surprise us saying that it is so haha As for the Rokot I join the complaint, they seem somewhat ... Suboptimal and lack ... Hit for me, although I have mounted a fireteam of 2 volkolak missile launchers and 3 Rokot of 9 points that ... Well nice is this list I'm very curious about various Ariadna troops (Equipe Mirage 5, Uxía, Van Zant, Kazak Speznaz ... And all the Caledonian honestly but that ... I still have left haha)
God I hope so. Molotoks and Red Furies might not be identical to AP and Shock Spitfires, but I’ve never found the difference to be interesting enough to justify itself. Edit: looks like red furies still exist in C1, so I guess this prayer of mine has not been answered.
