    Option 1: Sepsistorized, true cube corruption, bye bye Achilles

    Option 2: He went to CA voluntarily, the EI let him unlease all his rage and power against the enemies (and now the CA is "frend", so...)

    Option 3: Aleph disconnected Achiles moments before being captured, so now CA have an Achilles and Aleph is still able to produce a new fresh copy of the hero

    I'll bet for the 3rd one. Good Achilles vs Evil Achilles 20th Anniversary box

    Personally, I don't really see the interest in moving Achilles to CA, probably ONYX, which is going to be changed with most morats and where Ko Dali will already be, it's not as if CA was already strong, ONYX, on the other hand, was rather weak compared to the generalist, there was something to be changed, but I'd have seen more of a change on the Umbras or the Avatar. The ONYX between the morats and achille seems to be going for something that's going to hit so hard... :grimacing:

    The guy's also gone from Greek Brad Pitt to White Rasta, weird design-wise.

    Well, it can always become worse, right?

    This sounds good!

    Hopefully... it's the only option that wouldn't be disappointing.

    Okay… one more time people. Repeat after me:

    “I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind killer”…

    Or possibly burst into a blind panic at what may happen in N5. If this is true then things are going to get very strained around a variety of forums for a while.

    They could have lured him over by giving him a "Dark Homeriade" with a copy of Patroclus that ALEPH would never give him, plus Diomedes, Odysseus, and Pandora.

    Oof. Seeing Achilles, Patroclus, Teucer, Drakios and Pandora there. People may be upset…

    Not 100% but I still might buy a lottery ticket. Tuecer actually makes sense, gets out of Atalanta's shadow, can't think of why Drakios would turn though. Screenshot_20240923-080639.png

    What a waste of designspace.
    Here's hoping this makes sense when we see the other factions.

    Players: Achilles doesn't really work for Steel Phalanx...
    CB: Ok:smiling_imp:

    I feel this is a great shake-up. Looking at usage, Teucer, Drakios, and Achilles are not used a lot. Pandora was, but she really brought a lot to Steel and was a near auto include. Teucer and Drakios can add alot to CA and Onyx.

    Plus we get the possibility of Achilles absolutely dragging Hector now.

    edit: Grammar

    Yeah this is kinda dumb. But whatever. It's not as if I just got the Achilles fig and painted him. Right?:disappointed_relieved:

    Pandora: "Join the Dark Side Achilles"
    Achilles: "I'll never betray humanity!"
    Pandora: "You can have your boyfriend back"
    Achilles: "... Well then"

    I started collecting Steel Phalanx this summer literally because of Achilles. Looks like I'm out of luck)

    I also like the choices made to streamline Vanilla CA. Not an ounce of fat and removed some recent pieces like Motorized Bounty Hunters that gave CA more tools. They also lost Fracta and Cadmus as well.

    It is an interesting rebalance.

    Speculo are also out, which is actually a pretty big hit. The Greif is great, but the Speculo was a whole different tier when it came to assassinating important models in your opponent's DZ.

    Nevermind I can't read.

    Oh, the shitstorm is here... :sweat_smile:

    There is still a chance these Aleph profiles are still available to Aleph, I would say.
