All right handed, all good combat poses, not foot up, no silly hands, nice mix of men and women. Looks to be a near perfect box.
So to sum it up shortly: Securitate: profile will change so they cost less than actually. Hollow men: HI with GH.remote presence! (clockmakers will be soooo precious in this sectorial!) Kriza Borac: Included in the starter despite the one from beyond icestorm because they think he is an iconic unit for Tunguska. Heckler: Some kind of infiltrator/advanced trooper specialised in area denial I just love it all! June seems so far now!
That bothers me too but we haven't seen all the profiles yet and probably don't know all the new units.
Considering the tech is from Bakunin, I guess there are Clockmakers in each mothership to make the maintenance work (they have the same AVA in Bakunin and in Corregidor).
Tunguska may get an engineer profile, but why would they bother training engineers when they are funding the Bakunin black labs. Out of any non Bakunin ship they likely make most use of Bakunin troops. When you are Tunguska rich just hire the best.
This was a personal observation not something Interruptor said! Though i think Clockmakers and daktaris will be the Base "recovery spec" for every nomad ships.
Seems an odd reason to make that call. A regular Grenzer or a new Sniper Spektr would have arguably been just as Iconic, but in the case of the former, disrupts the possible SWC box. The latter, though, pretty much might not ever happen soon. The Kriza however could have been released like the Taskmaster Fury/Rocket, with spare arms to have the HMG or MULTI. Now the MULTI Kriza is a bit difficult to predict where they'll place it. Unless the Spektr and Kriza Multi get plopped in together for some reason as like a "Tunguska Fire Support Bundle"....
Because HI needed a buff so that it only need Engineer to fix all it's problems (not to mention WIP15 engis ^^).
Or they remove the Icestorm box from production when they release the new 2 players box (unconfirmed, but considered by the playerbase because the "2 army at a time" limit in the 300pts boxes), and remove Beyond with it too, then take out a Blister Kriza with mk12/HRL, maybe.
At some point CB needs to decide whether Nomads are salvaged tech and stop giving them improved versions of other factions' defining traits or if they are de facto technological leaders of the sphere.
Yea, because remote TAGs are "state of the art" (in a game of Avatar, Sphinx, Sui-Juan, and now Hollow Men ^^). Also: WIP10 xD
I think, when it come to artifical intelligence, Nomad is likely at the top as the human sphere. WHy ? Because there is a lot of illegal AI taking refuge in Nomads ships and, likley improving themselves and developing new AI. Having some of them taking an HI body to fight Aleph scum is not that surprising
Which, again, means that Nomads aren't really dealing with refurbished old stuff, but pushing new cutting edge. Same problem as where all the troops are the best of the best, we're also given the lines of where Pan-O has the best of technology everywhere except where Yu Jing has managed to steal an edge - yet Aleph are the best at technology - yet Nomads get the best of the technology. All this pushes the supposed tech leaders down the rung. But at least Pan-O are more high-tech than USA or Russia, right? It's just a shame how those factions don't matter for players which creates a serious disconnect - at least for me.
