Image broken [Edit] I can see it now! Rejoice in the StateEmpire's superior imaging technology, Citizen.
Slowpoke Tokumei is Slowpoke... The image has been for a few days in the April's thread (for the english general forum) and the feb/March thread (on the general spanish forum) :p Latest speculation is a HI AD troop.
I'd be stoked. Ever since I branched out from JSA with Red Veil I tried my hand at making fluffy vanilla lists of White Banner and the Invincible Army. I'd be a lot more excited about a sectorial with Shaolin Monks, Guilang, etc, but hey I still love my Yan Huo and Zuyongs.
Honestly just looks like a recoloured Tiger to me for the IA sectorial. Much like Varuna ORCs have their own colours.
It isn't. We have been looking at the desing for days already, it is no Tiger Soldier. Too many elements are different, not just in color, but in shape and design.
The helmet is similar, but I don't remember Shang Ji's having jetpacks Also I don't remember Tiger Soldiers having segmented helmets
Given the Zhanshi has a CR+LGL that never got a model, we can be fairly confident that the artist followed dossiers.
I think Tigers have fabric/leather trousers under their leg armour which should be showing on the thigh. On the other hand, the Zhanshi in the foreground (noes!) blocks view to the drop trooper's hip area which would've revealed whether the armour is powered or not. Armour in general looks like Zuyong, btw, if you account for the faceplate going out and then up.
The only Yu Jing guns that have a half drum/drum magazine are spitfires and boarding shotguns. But neither of those have the extended barrel so I'm not sure what gun that's supposed to be.
Mmmmm.... I'd say the concept of the CR+LGL is not 100% followed on the illustration, the weapon she's holding is too long. The drum magazine, however, compared to the current Zanshi profile loadouts, can only be the Combi, the Combi + LGL, or mayyyyybe a short Multi sniper rifle :S I'd bet for the CR+LGL, however.
Perspective fuckery, for sure, but yes, the section between the main body and the (suppressor?) is a bit too long compared to the dossier. @krossaks Yup, it was released in time for Red Veil
