Yeah, I know - new armies, new stuff, even more evil mercenaries. And they got 2 Fishboys. But Druze also got something new - maybe not that shiny, but I'm happy with our new cheapest regular human soldier - Authorised Bounty Hunter with SMG and Akrylat Kanone ;) 12pts for that guy, with option to get something fancy from Booty L2 - yay please!

Pretty sure that's a bug, the Profiles PDF has the specialist operative in the JSA section, and Saito wasn't updated in the Daedalus profiles.
The ABH Akrylat Kanone is a great cheap ARO piece. Before hand the ABH was like buying a Scratchy Loto ticket which usually is not worth it, and you paid money for nothing. Now its like buying a back of chips with a random prize. You know you are getting something worth the money, but can get even more. When reviewing the Booty table I see why they gave them the Akrylat Kanone. Imagine giving them a Panzerfaust, then rolling a second one... they would have had to make a new sculpt for dual Panzerfausts. I actually had a game where I have my ABH sniper roll a Viral Sniper. I woudl have loved getting a basic Sniper rifle instead. A side note: Before hand the ABH had regular orders only for DBS, now it looks like its a regular for all factions.
Nah, ISS got regular ABHs before DBS came out, everyone else got them about the time Uprising happened.
I regularly used DUO of Shotgun and Red Fury in Bayram - I'm a fan of the cheap in pts and SWC Red Fury ABH. Great unit, nice even in Haqqislam. And the new SMG ABH also will be interesting even in different armies. Cheap enough to be a order generator with the option to roll something interesting. It's great that I finished converting my favourite ABH mini and hope to paint him soon (TM) :) PozdRawiam / Greetings
My red fur ABH actually has done work in the past. Though I may be running the grabbag of neat models I collect as ABH's more often since that profile is a wonderful addition for flank defense and doesn't break the bank.
I've used that combo too, the Red Fury has some nice rangebands go hunting across the table in the endgame..
The red fury abh did win me a game or two via longbombing an aro across the map to kill a specialist. Why she got a priority paintjob.
