Fair, especially as there seems to be a good amount of sectorial fatigue going around. Still, I worry that CB is on a "Everything New!" kick and will eventually feel the need to apply that to Ariadna, especially if MRRF was truly unpopular. Heck, PanO is up to 5 sectorials now, so we know they're willing to rack them up as old ones are retired.
Anyone saying that Merovingia was "truly unpopular" is full of nonsense. And remember that PanO isn't really "up to 5 sectorials now". They shitcanned two of the original three to add the two new ones.
I'm not expecting Merovingia to make a return till like 2022. The most I think we'll see from the french is maaaaaybe (fingers crossed) a resculpt of Margot and Duroc. Do hope we'll see a couple more TAK/Ariadna releases by the end of the year. Most Wanted: Vet Kazak box (mostly for the mk12) Molotok Ratnik Ojotnik Scout Hopeful: Mk12 Unknown Ranger Tank Hunter Autocannon resculpt Want but is never gonna happen: Dismounted Dynamos
So, what happens now? I guess traktor muls / kuryer go directly to kosmoflot. (I hope they change the profiles a lot) I could see space versions of veteran kazaks and the molotok ratnik but that would be lazy for kosmoflot. Scout ojotnik is in dire need of a resculpt, all but two profiles of the scout use the ojotnik... I guess we should not expect a dire foes. A shared dire foes would be super lazy. We can forget any hopes for the tank hunter missile launcher or new auto cannon. Edit: kosmoflot only has frontoviks, Pavel, doc and Irmandinhos from TAK
Kosmoflot releases this Christmas taking the ariadna spotlight. I really want to hope they will release some of the remaining TAK stuff at some point.
Well crap, I'll need to get my hands on the Beyond expansion sharpish, otherwise i'll have to get the whole damn thing for Vassily and friends.
At the last conference at Madrid Bostria said this: More TAK releases should happen at some point but 2021 is the time for kosmoflot. :( The tank hunter auto cannon was sculpted by the owner of the company, it has been selling really well even many years after release and it's untouchable unless people starts asking for it in social media. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/737955150 (03:20:40)
Thats the most idiotic reason for not making new sculpt. Maybe at lest Kosmosoldat will get Autocannon model.
"it has been selling really well even many years after release" as as important as who it was sculpted by.
Sorry that part was added after the answer. Even then how is it not supposed to sell well, if you play vanilla or tak you want to play this profile. It's like collecting caledonia and not buying wallace or cameronians.
Because it's a really good profile and is now bundled with the only new Tankhunter that had a blister. If the question is "Do I go and use this ridiculous box-splitting service or hunt on eBay and hopefully find one for sale or buy it bundled with another sculpt of the same unit"? I'm pretty sure the answer will always be "I'll just buy it however I can". You want to test how good of a seller it is? Check to see how easy it is to get the HMG Tankhunter by itself vs the Autocannon. If they're not the same? It's the profile, not the sculpt selling the thing.
Welp the veteran kazak box is dead for good. MK12 has been erased from existence and all the ap rifles are T2 now, so the already existing vet is the only vet with rifle we are going to get. The shotgun one is going to be required for any veteran kazak heavy link team. Ratnik molotok will be more relevant than before. Scout ohotnik is still needed Tank hunters are locked behind the (ask in social media) barrier. That's pretty much it.
The heavy shotgun on the current could easily pass as a Spitfire with its drum mag and dubble barrel, so im calling it a Spitfire. Paint 2 of the rockets on each side a different collor and and now its the Spitfire variant. With there only being 3p difference i dont se myself taking the HRL version anyway (could be wrong) now that the molotok version got uppgund and cheaper.
One less to go. To be honest I'm disappointed with this one. My main gripe is the recycled missile launcher, It looks lazy. My second issue is, since the missile launcher is already big the added bits make it huge and the female tank hunter is minuscule / thin. This model would look better with the male tank hunter. The classic pose is the only positive thing. The ariadna tag seems basically confirmed since the ariadna code one tag box will not contain the bearpode but another unknown thing. There is a tag focused kickstarter. 2+2=
The center of gravity is a bit odd on that mini, isn’t it ? The good thing with the recycled missile launcher is the easy conversion coming. Beside that I agree with you @MATRAKA14
I really like the new Autocannon Tankhunter. Exactly what it should have been, the same pose in the new design.
Thanks @MATRAKA14, now I have a reason to buy this mini: cut the Autocannon a little, and I'll finally have Tankhunter ML!
