...is up: Interesting stuff to be seen. :) Spoiler: Sectorial chart Spoiler: New Caskuda Spoiler: Invincible gets a Dasyu... ...but better :D
No matter how many times you try to use it instead of "pseudo", "sudo" will still not mean the same thing. Also, this is actual HI, meaning it is hackable, but not a full 2 wound model. Not sure why they went that way, but sure.
1W+NWI is interesting, if a bit risky approach to HI. Liu Xing gets a better deal out of it, thanks to Bioimmunity. Zhencha has a marker state to compensate. Both will be operating beyond reach of IA Doctor, so not having a proper 2 Wounds and Unconscious state doesn't matter much. Funny side effect is that both will deny opponent the opportunity to perform Coup de Grace.
Stand out as what, overpriced mess? ^^ (seriously though, I'm not touching Yadu discussions in this thread after this post :D )
More like Dart but Shittier but costs the same because ARM is overpriced as hell. But he's a specialist so its kinda ok. And by that I mean its not ok, but it will have to do. Also Ariadna style HI but still hackable. Because being primitive is a bonus. Sectorial looks nice enough despite these two hateable things tho.
That Zhencha may be one of the worst profiles I've ever seen. This barely above Bolts levels of bad. There's no justification for him in Vanilla. 41 points for a single wound model, in a game that has massive amounts of shock. Is that a joke?
Lol you guys These profiles are ace, maybe try them before you write them off huh? Zhencha especially looks very tasty to me!
What MI? I was talking about Dasyu AHD, who is 40 points and fully hackable with 0 BTS. It is by far closest thing to Zhencha. Also, even the non-Hackable versions, sure, advantage, but Dasyu only pack a Combi Rifle on the FO, not a Submachine Gun :D I'm not saying one is necessarily better, just same 35-40 point NWI Infiltrating Marker state models :D
I've been running on a hype train and getting shit done with painting last weeks, but I'm so utterly dejected right now. Both of these profiles are so utterly miserably off mark from anything I hoped for.
Yes... at higher WIP, better marker state, better combat MOD due to TO camo, and alternate profiles that aren't hackable.
Errr... As somebody who's been playing Dasyus for 3 years now, I love the Zhencha profiles. I'd gladly have that in my arsenal. But okay, I can see how some people feel the danger with them. But lower ARM, lower BTS, significantly better loadout (compared to Dasyu FO, although missing a DTW), and yeah, lets not forget, CLIMBING PLUS. However, for Liu Xing, what? :-O That thing is absolute beauty. I'm seriously considering Invincible Army because of it.
Look, the Tiger soldier is a better combatant than the Liu Xing. Liu Xing might see some time on the table, but it's still going to be a low-end HI who's main asset is that the Tiger Soldiers aren't in the same Sectorial. I had been hoping for a premium HI with more reliable Combat Jump PH and the capacity for more reliably winning fights in the back field through MODs or other shenanigans. As for the Zhencha I was hoping for an actual Heavy Infantry that could be like the Ryuken to the Ninja/Oniwaban's Daofei, but instead we get something that's very literally a discount Daofei and to be perfectly honest. There has been a large influx of new gear that could simulate a stealthy approach, but this one got exactly the same basic set up as a profile we've already got. It's as if Helots turns out to be BS12 Bolts with Light Shotguns on all profiles that doesn't need them. It's so disappointing because it opens up very very few new list building ideas that do not already exist in vanilla, and it does nothing to revitalize Vanilla. So far it's setting itself up to be the Zuyong Fireteam Sectorial with discount profiles on the side. The lack of info regarding Tactical Sense and LT2 is also very unfortunate as it does nothing to show how the Sectorial will handle Order Starvation that comes with having almost exclusively 35+ point profiles.
I would only consider taking them because daofei and tiger are not included in the sectorial. Nothing new for vanilla and nothing that would make IA viable after release of 2 hacking and 1 t2 on your dog sectorials.
