Lots of profiles without models. PanO still wants a Swiss Guard Hacker, but it appears that's not coming either.
and with a mountain of new units and models with new rules, it doesn't look good for those missing models I'm afraid.
Of course it's not, they screwed up with NCA's release and they know it. But people blow smoke up their butts about being happy and it'll keep happening. Shame about the no Feuerbach. Do they realize how ridiculously silly this was to not do it? Christ, they've got at least two boxes worth of releases they could do just from Securitate and Grenzers alone: MSR Securitate Feuerbach Securitate Combi Rifle Repeater[You can argue this one if you want: I'm telling you right now, they've set the precedent with the Boarding Shotgun in the Securitate box as the Repeater is modeled on her back] Spitfire Grenzer Boarding Shotgun Grenzer Missile Launcher Grenzer Then there's at least two more Grenzers, potentially, with Biometric Visor and Sensor. If ever there were an argument for multiple arms and heads in a box, this kind of nonsense is it.
That is what I am talking about! Of course you have to paint it with flames on the side, everyone knows flame graphics make vehicles go faster!
Sure, now that's the better option--but if they hadn't cocked up the NCA starter and it had been all new sculpts? Different story entirely. A Swiss Guard Hacker, Bolts with CR+LSGx3, Aquila with MR, and <insert filler unit here> would have been just dandy.
I don't think the Swiss Guard Hacker was an option when they released the NCA starter. Only thing that they might have had a miss on was the Aquila Guard with MULTI-Rifle, though I like the profile personally, most people take the HMG.
The Swiss Hacker option has been around since N2... and the thoghtt, likely, for going MULTI Aquila rather than HMG was the rest of the box, which already had two big SWC options in it.
I presume the Securitate FB will come in with the Grenzers box = 3x Grenzer + Securitate FB. For example: - Securitate FB - Grenzer Hacker - Grenzer ML - Grenzer Combi / Boarding shotgun. Recently people seem to be really hard on the critique and panic too much.
Feuerbach Securitate is a good loadout, but you can always proxy, convert, etc. in the meanwhile. Sadly, CB doesn't have the production capacity to release every model immediately.
Amen to that. CB’s stance on proxies is a breath of fresh air after some other companies position on the matter. Not happy? Complain, proxy, convert, wait. Have fun!
Aleph Probots have larger wheels (that look more motorcycle-like) than the standard Nomad REMs. I may still have a leftover set somewhere I might be able to find and would be willing to part with. Depending on the actual ZondNautica model, I might prefer to use the ZN as Su Jian, my initial mental image from the Su-Jian's fluff text was a Moto-Slave. Not that robo-kitty is bad, just not a Moto-Slave. Nice 'shop!
I think the problem is when you buy into a new sectorial and don't know it's going to be over a year until you get that important model. Now Tunguska player know there's no model in the pipeline they can crack on converting. Look at the Riot Grrl spitfire, we're still waiting for a resculpt. Sure you could have converted something but when the other 4 have all been redone in the space of a couple of months you'd expect the fifth to be just round the corner. A bit of communication goes a long way. Thank god CB are putting more and more effort into community outreach.
Moto-Slaves don't have wheels for feet. I think all the old timers like Section9 are just shocked that CB didn't go with a design that would have let them use combat heels.
