    Maybe so, but on my original point, note that in QK, Mobile Brigada and the Iguana retain their usual logo while Alguaciles get a new one... and in the QK fluff, it's noted that they're referred to as "Al Waziri".

    EDIT: I didn't do a good job of drawing a conclusion there - There's a reason Alguaciles got a new logo, because they had an identity to QK, whereas the other two are just the same as they always were. I think that it'd be a bit much to come with up another ~30 to 60 unit logos just for sectorial lists if nothing significant is changing...

    Could be but even the more annoying they left Kenpeitai as a name then.

    So I hope I can still use my 2 Raiden I recently bought for YuJing. Maye at least the spitfire one in ryoken. The hrl obviously got replaced by Batou, one of my favorites replaced by another favourite... the old hrl pose was too good for a kitbash.

    I'm glad they didn't. It makes even more sense with the new fluff regarding the unit having become an authoritarian secret police.

    Ahh, cool. Hadn't read any of the fluff yet as the screen caps I saw were horrible. Glad CB is still not making everything sunshine and rainbows.

    I like seeing that Musashi can be in some sort of link. Sound fun.

    Honestly, I'd prefer the logo recolors only (and always) indicate profile variances, like Scarface & Cordelia, Mercenary Armored Team v. Scarface & Cordelia, Private Armored Team, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Happy to see Haris available for the Domaru. Less happy that the AVA for Ninjas and Oniwabans went down by one. Not that I necessarily use 4 ninjas and three oniwabans but it was fun to have the possibility :grin: Ah well, I'll live.

    so Raiden and Haramaki are main missing ones (unless tanko are the haramaki)
    they may stay vanilla which would be interesting.

    im guessing vanilla will keep
    -Ninja
    -raiden
    -shikami (based on the two colour schemes)

    Also wonder what special links daiyokai will get im guessing karakuri or domaru link

    Hmm well, Haramakis werent that different from Domarus, so if they were replaced by Tankos and the unit works differently enough from haramakis and domarus id be interested. Also as for raidens, they seemed like they were trying to be something that they never quite were, maybe the Ryuken are going to better fulfill that role.

    Well the unit-9 teams seem to be your Raiden-proxy equivalents

    I know many people will miss the Raiden HRL, but it could be that the Unit-9 is just awesome in a different way.

    Plus it's the Major and Batou, so it's instantly mega fucking cool

    CB have got me on this one. Choo choo motherfuckers it's the hype train coming through!

    So what is new... (plus somesemi confirmed hearsay)
    Raiden gone - or not really, they apparently got rolled into Ryuken Unit 9, so you can keep using them, just different name and rules
    Haramaki are gone - Profiles might have rolled into Domaru
    Kempetai slightly changed but still have COC (according to Bostria)
    Domaru - Core, Haris (Musashi), Duo - nice
    Daiyokai - new troop, Special Fireteam
    Omaya - very likely Domaru Core + ?
    - Asuka +Kuroshi Rider (for the love of Kami, please have useable CC value)
    Kaizoku Yurika Oda - title changed, maybe the Profile as well - I hear there is a "veeery" interesting new Lt option somewhere
    (JSA) Rui Shi - Ikari Company lists a "JSA Version" so this probably has a different gun
    Saito - Specialist Operative Profile added as we saw for Druze?

    Fireteams and ofc the new Profiles will be very interesting.
    While we're at it I'd vote for slightly revamped Oniwaban/Shinobu so she isn't a straight upgrade with a different gun.

    I think Tanko is the new name for Haramakis. Maybe some units were heavily hit during the uprising and they were reformed with new names.

    Tanko Zesenbutai are going to be the new, cooler Haramaki

    Haramaki are already called Zesenbutai after all.

    True but the Haramaki's had a good weapon selection compared to Domaru

    And a new cooler sculpt hopefully. Don't hate the old ones but they were a pain to assemble.

    Haramaki and Tanko are both pieces of armour/clothing, so the theory seems sound

    so for CB to have this sectorial done we need at minimum

    2 boxes
    -SWC Keisotsu
    -Tanko

    2 blister
    -1-2 unit 9s
    -neko

    however
    -aragato box(dont really need resculpting)
    -karakuri box(also not a huge deal)

    would be nice

    Also, to address the next sectorials, everything is up in the air right now. Theres rumors of nearly every faction other than Combined and Tohaa being the next releases. So, we know the exact name and sectoral symbols for Rama Task Force, Tartary Army Korps, and Tugunska Jurisdictional Command but not for Varuna, Vedic/OSS, or even the Invincible army per se. But also, PanO has 3 full sectorals already, Ariadna has 3 full sectorals, while Yu jing has only 1 now, Haqq only has 2, and Aleph only has 1, and Nomads only have 2. At this point however, "fairness" may be out the window when determining who gets their fancy new toys first.
