Seems like ForCo came out looking ok. still a decent spread of options across all slots (barring the TAG but it is what it is). links don't seem disastrously restrictive and there's a good spread of character options aside from for sec links. Double haris is nice considering we've got bolts, kaplan and sec options in there too.
ForCo looks much more playable than before. Multiple Haris helps a lot, though they lack Wildcard like the Outrage characters, and no other cheap wildcards to get the link costs down.
Yeah, I was playing around with lists the other night and could kinda see the use of 2 haris and a small core. Bolts are solid and the crappy ava isn't too bad if harising with characters anyway
It's a shame that Beasthunter FTO doesn't become regular in a link like some other irregular units get.
I kinda like the way a Bolt pure core needs either Hannibal or Valkyrie to achieve it. Sure it's a pain but it's a clever little nerf to get those characters on the table more. For my money the biggest buff is Securitate haris. A lovely little second-group team with a feurbach, a possible LT, and a paramedic sets you back 50pts and ups your veteran count to seven (assuming a bolt core). At that point LoL becomes pretty unimpactful. Overall no massive changes and a budget haris option, which is a big deal considering what's happened in the update to some shooty factions like VIRD.
I feel that linkable mimetic panzerfaust minelayer with DTW for throway 9 points is plenty good enough. If it became regular for free... that would be some impressive power creep. (if it isn't already)
Still we can change it to regular order with command token i guess. How ever it Will mean a token per round.
Oh it makes sense for sure, but with a few options out there giving the benefit to other irregular units it was a hope I had at first.
Got a couple of games in this week, one at 300pts and one at 400pts. Can confirm that the orc pain train link hits like a truck. 400pts is really feuerbach territory for the orc big gunner though, the HMG felt pillow fisted. Beast hunter is a very useful addition, dice worked out well but caused a lot of headaches and traded up well, far too well for a 15 point trooper imho. Bolt links are nasty but the choice of ML vs MSR has bitten me on the ass twice now, each game I played I wished I had the other tool so I think I'll try taking both next game lol
