https://mayacast.com/2018/05/11/mayacast-preview-keisotsu-butai-and-kempeitai/ Impressions? HMG and Missile Launcher are kind of vanilla looking, but the Kempeitai sculpt may be one of my favorite yet.
Glad to see more box/blister previews. Any idea if previews for the month's other items have surfaced yet?
I'm very excited were getting PanO weapons! This is a really neat box, it fills the gaps without giving us another useless combi guy
Overall, I am happy with the box and plan to pick it up. Kind of glad they put aKempeitai in the box to cover the fact Keisotsu lost the MSR (which was over-costed and one of their least useful profiles) instead of giving another Keisotsu combi jobber.
I field 3-4 of these models in every JSA list I make, so this is a very worthwhile box. Including the MSV2 Kempetai seems like such an obvious choice, but conceptually it's a stroke of genius... Thrilled CB went with it. Keisotsu have PanO weapons and still can't hit the broad side of a barn. Not sure what that says about them, but at least it defends the notion that PanO skill isn't purely tech-based.
I like to think the PanO version have useful shooting AI programs for the gheist of the user, and the JSA can't afford that kind of fancy.
Awesome - called it back when the JSA profiles went live - that it would have a Kempeitai. I'd actually expected Spitty/Shock Rifle Kemps and the Hacker Keisotsu separate, but this is fine. So... All we need now is a Kempeitai Spitfire blister, resculpted Aragoto, and maybe an alternate sculpt Daiyokai... And then our range is complete.
Better comlogs is it, I think. Better comlogs means better in-eye HUD setups, target prediction, that kind of thing.
Not impressed. Don't like the looks of the PanO HMG, though the ML isn't bad (kinda hard to make a ML not look like a tube). And why isn't the Kempeitai MSV2/Sharksman rifle Saito from Ghost in the Shell? Will not buy (not least because I have a crapton of Keisotsu already)
I like the Pan-O HMG, it reminds me of a weird mix of a Famas and a Bizon. I like to imagine it makes funny brpthtphthth noises when it shoots. They did a female kempei so they'd have one of each in the N3 standard, I'm pretty sure.
As much as I'd love to see one (not a huge fan of the Evangelion design) I don't think it will happen any time soon. Wasn't the O-Yoroi one of their first 3D-sculpt models? New Ninjas to match the Red Veil one wouldn't hurt though. The sniper still looks great but the combi rifle one...well the less said about that one the better.
I think the O-Yoroi was the very first 3d-sculpted model they released... But I wouldn't mind new Ninjas. They are among the oldest sculpts still in the game!
The old Ninja are still very good, and the recent repackage plus Bostria's praise of the models during the last BoW Infinity Week mean that probably we won't get a resculpt soon.
