The dikpala don't really look better or worse than my dakini, so the model doesn't bug me, but no clue why the name had to change. Shame. Play very rarely, so probably shouldn't even bother with the pack, but it'd be fun to get a few more ALEPH even if there's not a ton of new stuff.
Who knows? I'm just pissed they have the same shitty ankles as the current bots! WHY?! I don't know many times I've had to fix a figure that breaks right at that joint.
The Loss of Lieutenant Podcast mentioned that the name change occurred because Dikpala is a better representative of what CB was originally intending with the Dakini name.
Well, rejoice! ISS will have brand new Dikpala to replace the Dakini. Maybe new Deva miniatures are in the way too, unless they repack existing one that are currently in boxes that will become OOP. They were lacking in funny name convention, like Kum or Long Wang.
Good point but not sure if that counts but i'll take it! But with my luck they are taking them away from IS or something. They have a tendency to do stuff like that. No I can get the image out of my head of a diorama of a Long Wang and Dikpala chasing after a Kum biker. Or Nomad cat girl lol
It may not mean anything but Dikpalas are listed as vAleph and OSS only, while Nagas Have Acon on top of that. So they either forgot to include some factions, or ISS will lose even more of Aleph toys or Aleph upgraded their shit and is renting only old stuff so ISS keeps Dakini.
