This is very much Acon 2.0. In which case, it makes even less sense to squat old Acon and bring in KFC. Surely, some Acon owners will bite the bait and also buy into KFC, but the massive squatting will also draw some crowd away from the game; for everyone else it makes no difference. Essentially CB believes the first part will outweight the second part. I'm unconvinced, but lets see if stealing a page from GW's playbook will pay off.
Absolutely agree. BTW, I'm gonna play my Acon as Kestrel. I have doubts with the Black A.I.R. profile, but the rest looks easy enough for me to proxy
Dude, Acon players don't have to buy anything. It really slots into KCF. The loss of the Akalis Spitfire hurts, but they gained so much flexibility. I am sad that Acon is gone, but KCF allows Acon players to use their models and army. And you get Disco Ball! The Deployment Zone Black A.I.R. can be Kirpal Singh! @Bostria , It would be great if you did a recommended proxy chart for Acon in KCF!
The fact nobody wants to buy it is the balance- JSA players get the box and have fun, PanO players angrily use their 50+ "proxies".
We have the Japanese box list in the download section. They are not hurting for power. We will find out the full Japanese profiles soon. I would wait for that before worrying about Power levels.
we already saw japanese profiles weeks ago, in the 150 box lists. Shindenbutai part rely heavily in mimetism, but half of the pano figures have MSV
Again, to tell that you count as X 2 Griffins+1 firefly. Is a Kestrel FT? Yes. Is a lvl 1 puriti FT because you have only 1 Kestrel troop in a kestrel FT? No, you have 2 of the same, troops, so it's Lvl 2 purity Griffin+Firefly+Bipandra. Is a Kestrel FT? Yes. Is a Lvl 2 purity because you have 2 of the "same" unit (Kestrel)? Yes Look at the Japanese chart. 1 senku+2 jizz+hatamoto+shurayuki. No keywords for any troop. Is a Senku fireteam? Yes. What purity. Lvl 2 Because you have 2 jizamurais 1 senku+2 jizz+hatamoto+Yuriko. Is a Senku FT? Yes. Is lvl 1 purity because you have only one troop with the senku tag (yuriko)? No, is lvl 2 purity because you have a maximun of 2 units of the same (2 jizz, 2 senkus)
Carlos said himself that the keyword mattered for the making of a team. You count the number with key word and that's what you get. simple as that. As far as I can see Senku can never have a more than a level 1 fireteam if you add a Jiza or Hatamoto but will have a pure team of it add Oda.
3 griffin FT is pure. 5 Senkus FT is pure. No keywords for both. So keywords make nothing to purity. Fennec Keyword is just a fancy way to tell (Fusileer)
We do not know yet, but in N4, PHEROWARE TACTICS (PT) Mirrorball allows the placement of an ECLIPSE template in zone of control.
You'll need to wait until the full rules come in November but I suspect that Keywords are quite vital for Fireteam Purity.
Black AIR K1 marksman rifle In a Harris FT that’s an absolutely incredible piece - B3+(1) ARO - Target has ARM0 - Mimestim -3 - MSV2 - immune to surprise attack - good range band up to 32 inches That’s an insane hard ARO there… I even prefer that loadout to the Sniper rifle. I can already see him bringing salt to the table in a Harris with Griffin HMG and a good specialist for an ultra versatile core.
