It looks like the perfect time to remember Corvus Belli about the RM-100. This space bear is awesome. If this is a bear-soldier, does it implies the existence of a native bear beast on Dawn ? (like the antipodes for the wolves )
God, this is would be a great thing to add to Caledonia as a last hurrah. MRRF has the Anaconda, USARF has Blackjacks, TAK has Ratniks, give CHA the RM-100! In the RPG's book on Ariadna there is a non-exhaustive list of fauna on Dawn. There are a couple of bear-analogues. There is the Ariadnan Brown Bear which is more like a bipedal carnivorous buffalo and the Tartarian Bear which is reminiscent of a Kodiak bear. These are both the regular non-retrovirus hybrid versions. There are also giant deer, a venomous predator that's kinda between a bird and a reptile, and pseudo-manatees that have a retrovirus hybrid version that is basically a monstrous aquatic meat grinder.
There are bear like creatures on Dawn as Teleute points out. They aren't immune to the cuckoo virus from the Antipodes so what you get is an ungodly monstrosity called a Drekevac.
Apparently adding new stuff is a more reliable way to sell something than fixing the old one, which was sold out for the most part anyway because almost everything can be made working in Infinity if you like unit in question enough (plus there are always people who buy just to paint and add to their collections). I wouldn't expect an intensive, redundancy-minimizing style of designing a game you'd expect from, say, a video game company, to be chosen by a miniature company.
Today's video confirms a mix of old and new troops for kosmoflot. It will include MRRF troops. Mirage 5 to provide more reasons to buy a more than likely resized version of the luxumbra resculpt? (Like adding Cadin to TAK) Space Chasseurs? Rescupted space versions of other profiles?
I'm interested in how they'll look with the cosmonaut looking guys in the artwork being turned into actual miniatures. I just hope they don't rely on a load of tactical rocks to make it look like they're floating around in low gravity.
What about tactical airlocks? Have a guy in full cosmonauts gear kneeling down with one of their hands on some kind of handle to open the airlock as if they're about to open some kind of hatch.
That could be cool...kinda like what Prodos did with some of the AVP stuff. Would definitely be in for that.
Yeah. I absolutely anticipate the Koldstrom treatment of reskinning existing profiles like the winter fusiliers.
Will we receive official word on which Ariadna sectorial is getting retired to make room for Kosmoflot...hoping CHA survives
No faction have more than 3 sectorials in production. TAK is new, so is safe. And they cant cut the USARF without getting a massive backslash. So...
No, in production only Military orders, Svalarheima and Varuna. Neoterra went out with Svalarheima and Acontecimento went out with Varuna (Or that's what they said)
