I think Colossus is more likely representative of the natural armour rolls. His skin is steel! I personally doubt they will do any more Marvel mutants, sticking more with the usual Morlock designs (eg tentacle hair girl), but I would not complain ;)
eh I kinda wish they wouldn't use as many references in Bakunin, one or two is fine but if we end up having too many it kinda gets wierd. its one of my fave factions and I dislike that currently playing it feels like im just playing a force that isnt from infintiy with the guardians of the galaxy moderators and xmen morlocks. Im just glad they didnt make the taskmasters just the comic book character. Though im betting we will likely just get groot, rocket racoon and 2 other memes for morlocks lollipop moderator died for marvel references. I think main things Bakunin needs are 1. Morlock box (the new one is amazing and outshines the old ones so much, he is also wearing an altered outfit to old ones, as well as old ones being out of scale now) 2. Riot Grrl spitfire (give her a crouching or diving pose CB, the grrls need more dynamics) 3. New Lizard, the only out of date Nomad Tag now 4. New Chimera box, chimera is fine but pupniks need an update (give us a moth pupnik) though would like to see the more disturbing chimera(move the old one to bootleg as a solo mini for ppl running 2 packs) 5. New zoe, Pi well, clockmakers and daktari I think in general as well the vanilla zonds for nomads really need an update. I wish Zeros and the characters would get an update but im doubtfull.
It feels to me that they read the mixed reaction to the new Swiss HMG and released a version that can be built with or without superfluous enormous sword.
So far, your list seems legit: the Highlander released is indeed an HMG blister. Did that list include prices? I'd be interesting to compare the Grey with the other blisters and see how much the alternative arms affected the price of the blister.
I think it makes sense, lore-wise/visually, for either to have a massive sword. With or without it, I think arm swap option would be better suited to serve an in-game purpose (other weapon options). In my mind the one thing that's actually superfluous is having 2 arm options that both serve the same function/weapon option. ...Not that it's a huge detractor. The model still looks very nice in both versions, and it gives you extra bits to play around with.
I've definitely mixed feelings about the choice of arms, on one hand having a BSG and AP HMG means you have a model for all profiles (I don't personally count T2 and normal rifles as different, the physical differences in design are so small) on the other hand this model has a very distinctive head so I wouldn't want a clone in the fireteam and wouldn't want to buy more than one. Other models like the Guarda De Assaulto and Taskmaster I would happily (and have) bought multiple times for the different options, but this guy is too distinctive for me to want to double up on.
I admit I think it's a little strange to have both sets of arms holding the same main weapon (AP HMG).
Thanks for the info. It's not too much, if the alt. arms had a different weapon it would be a great deal.
Personally, I like it being two sets of arms for the same weapon. The one thing that put me off of Infinity when I first started looking into it was all the models looking the same/lack of customization. This way, if you, for some reason, are fielding two of this guy, at least they can look different with minimal effort (some of us suck at conversions).
Emh, look at the army. Not aligned armies popped up with, special druze character, new troop "Brawler", restyled Scarface (now with HRL!) and the first mixed Fireteam! (druze core+1 brawler and/or 1 Clipper REM)
For me checking MERCS in options and refreshing the page did the trick. After unchecking Druze are still there. Maybe I just needed to refresh, dunno.
Ctrl + F5 for a non-cache. Be advised: there are bugs, if you touch the filters Valeria and Saito dissapear, and the Peacemaker seems to have no AVA limit, nor Lt or hacker requirement. Among some other stuff XD
