The Bayara will see use maybe for the discoballer, otherwise it is a deadweight contingent on the Bao's continued presence with their current set of skills, gear and weapons.
It never is... At this point, all CJC really needs is resculpts and better packaging of options. Resculpts of the Gecko+Iguana wouldn't be bad though I will say the Iguana probably needs it more than the Geckos would. The Gator needs a resculpt, hard, though. And none of this Siocast garbage. Just do resin or metal, enough with the Siocast. It has the worst qualities of both.
They definitely are...I mean, look at TAK. USARF had a niche. TAK immediately invaded it, claimed it as their own, and then paid to get others to recognize it.
With 81 new figures in the last 5 years and plenty of new troops, I think Nomads are doing ok. So far the new ISS is not wowing me but there's still a few new troops to show. The Jinwei is in the HI section and could be cool. At first I wondered if ISS was getting a S5 HI but the fact they can be in a CG team and count as them makes think not. So now I'm thinking ARM3, 1Vit, NWI. I hate 1v+nwi but CB seems to like them. The Shinji seems to be in the Skirmish spot but then so is the TAG pilot. Also Skirmish can't usually be in a fireteam but they are Wildcard and count as Hsien.
Actually, looking at it again, Shenji Ying might be in the Warband section! ISS never had a WB so I assumed Skimish.
Just saw it on insta. Basicaly Garuda with albedo instead of mimetism and better arm. PH 13 for CJ ist good, it sums up to 16 with EVO. Riot and Paramines will not reduce orders of the enemy but will nerf anyway. For the price I would give it a try, even it looks confusing.
