You mean your S6 ARM7 TAG with BS 14, and BS Attack (-3) is not unique enough???? Perspective, man! No one else has that combination... Indeed. EDIT: I apologize for being harsh. When peripheral (Ancillary) was introduced, I automatically assumed it would be more common. CB seems to be moving away from pilots actually exiting the vehicle. It made sense to just have a little bot to do the specialist work without endangering the expensive tag. It is true that one could have seen that as something unique for Yujing, but that never occurred to me.
I am not thrilled that the TAG pilots were removed as a profile component of the TAGs and manned TAGS now also get a Servant REM and the real pilots became passive Buffbot This is extremely questionable in terms of gameplay and doesn't feel immersive either. I would like to see a return to the old system, even if I am aware that this is unrealistic.
The issue is that old system wasn't used much. It was one of the "cool in theory, but impractical" mechanics.
I quite like the change on bots over pilots. Rules perspective, remove something barely used. Positive. Fluff perspective, remove the weird thing that folks get out of their perfectly functional walking tank to push a button. Positive Just rename those new pilots that are not pilots and feels like a win.
Koni had said that CB closes for Christmas from December 15, I saw on the dark net a curious story that the N5 might be released on Monday, and Koni spoke to the future immediate regarding the release of the pdf this morning, so it's out no matter what next week at the latest.
Excuse me? If I had this Neurokinetics in Military Orders, I would have taken him in every list. Add a regular (for me) package of TRbot, EVO Mule, Curator, Flash bot, Tech-Bee, Warcor, and presto. 3 swc and 114 points and I am COVERED on aro for the whole game.
WIDErmen with sniper rifles are impressive as an ARO piece, that is true. The rest of the profiles seem to be geared more towards active turn close(ish)-range combat and are also solid. But that CC Attack (-3) looks out of place either way.
November releases are going slow and plenty of distributors still dont have them, december ones got delayed to Jan, you are in the middle of sending all Warcrow kickstarters and delivering a new edition of your main game... And you close for half a month? WTF? Something very wrong is happening
Agent Dukash is expensive but seems incredibly strong. And it's LI, so hacking won't stop it. Neither will CC (except a CC expert sitting in dep zone). Neither will shooting in reactive. Well... :D I'm happy it will be on my side of the board (well, technically on my opponent's side of the board but you get it). Love the Sophotech deployable Cover (and turrets but we already knew that). Additional options are always good and it fits the universe and the game IMH. Also, cool to see ReRoll to a failed engineer roll (even if a bit less good). Reduces frustration. It's such a shame that CB employees are taking holidays, WTF. Something very wrong is happening. They should forget about their personal lives and just do anything they can so that people get their miniatures this month and not the next one! Boycott CB! boycott! boycott!
Well, she will definitely get some play now. She definitely seems worth the price with all the equipment and rules she gets. The Triggermen and Dukash are some expensive pieces.
