USAriadna: my new army

Thanks!

1. I am not easily deterred once I set my eyes onto something. So yes, I'm continuing to collect and play USAriadna :P
2. Black (as a good morning coffee) primer with some airbrush pre-shading.

 

Maverick - an unorthodox or independent-minded person; a rebel; an unbranded calf or yearling.

Motorized recon battalions - ‘Mavericks’ - are the USAriadna's know-how. In the vast (and roadless) expanses of the Last State, they serve as mobile reconnaissance, caravan escorts, and messengers liaising with remote outposts. Away from the main forces, they can only rely on themselves, their speed and skill (and, well, their MSV1). And they're OK with it.

Foxtrot -- in the U.S. Army, a designation for the letter F, used in voice communication to avoid errors in transmitting and receiving important information (coordinates, etc.). Also, an informal army substitute for the swear word ‘F...’ Also -- a fast paired dance (‘fox trot’).

Foxtrots are scouts, specializing in surveillance, finding and raiding targets, ambushes and forward observing. They counter all advanced alien technology and weaponry with their own brains, camouflage and mines, as well as out of this world fitness and stamina levels. They are capable of moving unnoticed for hundreds of miles, they can stay in ambush for days and will complete their task, no matter what.

One of the guys in my local meta was thinking about playing USAriadna at the time when NOVA launched and managed to get one when it was released. He later decided to give a try to Qapu Khalqi and I happened to have some old QK miniatures he was looking for. Not really equal trade in my opinion but he knew I was going to play USAriadna at some tournaments and decided that was valiant enough of me to warrant this trade. That’s how it happened XD

 

Wardriving is the process of finding and hacking vulnerable Wi-Fi access points by a person or a group of people equipped with a portable computer with a Wi-Fi adapter. A vehicle is used in this process (hence the name - war driving).

Wardrivers are a fraternity of mercenary hackers who travel the Human Sphere offering their services as cyberspace operatives to paying customers. Despite their lack of formal structure, the Wardrivers form a tight-knit community, and those who dare to tarnish their reputation will soon find that they may lose not only their valuable data, but their lives as well.

Once during the Separatist Wars, a large Cossack convoy was ambushed and burned. The vehicles wreckage completely blocked one of the central roads of Rodina. When the specialist who was ordered to clear the way was asked what he was going to do, he replied, “Give me five minutes, a good dozer, and I'll move anything.” Since then, the nickname “Dozer” has become the almost official name of all combat engineers in the armies of Ariadna.

Dozers are indispensable field repairmen, able to make almost anything work with wire, duct tape, and some strong words, and they are also expert demolition men, able to blow anything up with the very same tools.
