I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Nikolai Steranko as the Nomads only ‘leadership’ skill option (CoC, Strategos or XO). Make him extremely high SWC in Vanilla to make it a massive compromise.
Spector is briefing TJC leaders in one of the blurbs in the new book, so I think he will be one of the characters. Anaconda fluff also makes it clear that TJC pulls it's strings, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them either. Emily & Uhahu could go either way. Other than that it is hard to say. Warband and characters are what I'm most curious about.
I`ve been reviewing JSA and suddenly saw Karakuri statline. Hollow man could possess similar rules like HI + G: Rem Pres + Total immunity + V:NWI or V:Dogged. It would be cool and very durable.
I'd like to see the Nautical Zond as an attack version of the Meteor. Something like an AD Lunokhod minus the Koalas.
Personally what would make me really happy is Nautical zond being an alternate light tag for Tunguska. Super sized/armoured Meteor zond, mini hover tank that doesn't fly as high.
I’m really excited by TJC because there’s a lot of interesting design space: Hollowmen, Hecklers, Nautical Zonds and Tactical Puppets all can go in very different directions depending on what CB wants to do. And that’s not everything we can expect the faction to get.
That would be super cool. I would love some heavy remotes. CB is not very keen on resculpting remotes, some show their age badly.
Tell that to the rui shi (20 pts 1swc for MSV 2 + inbuilt repeater ava 2 disgusting +easy 10 orders to fuel+wip15 engie) and Pi well sometimes Remotes are often not remotely fair
Links bring their own balancing effects. But it's a point. Honestly if you look at Scarface, something around that capability with BS12 and a REM is reasonable, if a little cheaper.
MOV 8-2, BS12, ARM 5, BTS 6, REM with Climbing Plus, Kinematika L2, and NWI. Give it a Heavy Shotgun and a Pulzar. 55pts 0.0SWC Before anybody freaks out I cribbed most of that from the Su-Jian, left some stuff out, and raised the cost a point.
