Get hyped, nerds, for [August Releases]

I already made plans to go out (European time zone). I‘d really appreciate if someone could collect all relevant info and maybe a few pics in a post somewhere in real time

 

Don't worry, that is exactly happens every year: people posting pictures, making summaries and comenting on real time.

 

I'll be sure to show the Left-pondians how it's done by restraining myself to a gentlemanly "Gadzooks" and occasional "I say old chap"

 

Is this some quirky colonial version of a standing ovation ;)

 

My stupid mobile telephone decided to automatically correct a perfectly cromulent phrase!

 

New profiles are live.

 

It's just the box contents though, and the TAK exclusive Tankie and Strelok have a SWC tax on them.

 

Just the WYSIWYG profiles from the box though, not full profiles

 

And the Asura too...

 

We were told the CoC TH was TAK exclusive, don't go mixing my russian vodka into vanilla
(I realize there's SWC tax)

 

Yet another example of full proffesional army and regular training ?xD

 

And the Strelok K9...

The Asura Multi H+ won't see much table: as a solid specialist, the Combi is better (you get 2 extra orders, her being Lt and a Netrod), and as a Multi hunter... the non-hacker is 10pts cheaper and can be Lt (so up to 3 orders less).
I was expecting the Combi would be replaced by the Multi without point cost, and having the Lt option too. I would be happy even with an SMG Asura KHD for 65pts. Plus, for killing Achilles is much better.
And don't say "Achilles is not available on Vedic", for now Vedic seems to not have smoke, so that MSV3 is just a very expensive gimmick that will be useful only if you face a camo/to enemy army... and for that price I place 3 Sensor Devas.

So now I have a third Asura, and no reasons to use more than one.

 

Seeing that Asura is like seeing Nomad profile optimisation. Only in reverse.

 

It might be prudent to wait to judge until all of the info for the sectorial is available...

 

Nope, the sky is falling and I'm going to doomsay and decry everything immediately!

 

It's called having an initial reaction.

 

The MR version is 6 points more where normally its only 4 points more than a combi.

 

More or less as optimised as Mary Problems or a Hollow Man... sigh, i don't know why I'm surprised

 

Mind you, having the models is not the same thing as having profiles.

And I'm not judging sectorial profiles, but released vanilla ones. In case you missed that shiny "*" on some profiles in the PDFs, indicating those are available only in the sectorial (like, dunno, the Spekter KHD with Cybermines).

 

These profiles are only available to ALEPH and Ariadna! This must mean all the other factions are being scrapped! Abandon ship!
