Browsing through a few other profiles, having an advertised "Heavy Pistols" like that is to me an indication of him having more than one weapon option similar to Hector rather than being exclusively equipped with Heavy Pistols.
We've yet to see a unit with exclusively ''CC'' weapons that isn't a G:Sync or a Warband, after all. T:
Typed in the reference number and came up with this So the Release Date is June 28th (estimated), he's an engineer with 2W and and AutoMedikit. Hope for Total immunity though, as we probably don't need another expensive engineer that can be immobilised together with his linkteam.
Nice find! He sounds... expensive? But regardless of his actual profile, that is a sweet model, and he'll make a fantastic Tai Sheng profile until she comes out.
Can also be found with his name again. I guess he was offline while the information was changed. While looking at the Ref-Nr (281308), its increased for each release (281307 being the Zensha). So time to look that up with nr.9 next month. ;-)
End of June when it releases most likely, same as the random bike doctor release. Still very sketchy on why exactly you want this model in the link still. Definitely needs to be more than an Engineer with an automedkit the Zuyongs already have plenty of button pusher options they're already taking. The Automedkit also is a significant points bump, it costs 4pts and 0.5 SWC. For context on bang for buck TacAw costs 3 and 0 SWC
Yeah, we need to see if he has anything else and what guns he carries first. At the very least, maybe he'll be a decent solo piece in Vanilla, at least. T:
I'd consider it if he is an NCO and cheaper than Tai Sheng, which i doubt since he has an automedkit.
Well, assuming a Combi Rifle, he'd probably go for as low as 34 points... so I doubt he'll be cheaper than her. Maybe equal cost, though. T:
Definitely not a fan of the automedkit. Just wasted points, honestly. Unless CB gives him something interesting and creative that we're not aware of, then I'm expecting him to be a shelf piece mostly.
From the background looks like he's probably supposed to be an alternative to Tai Sheng. Looks expensive and another vessel for NCO. Let's hope the last part in the fluff talking about his fascination for big guns translates into the profile getting a big cannon, ideally a light grenade launcher.
Fascination for big guns and point-man... Theory: profile has TA, weapon alternatives are something along the lines of Missile Launcher or Heavy Rocket Launcher or Portable Autocannon or Feuerbach. Stuff with a bad rangeband at 0-8" and something that's not yet another HMG with TA. Maybe a Heavy Grenade Launcher is too much to ask for, but I'll still ask. Pretty please? Hopefully he comes with a 1,5 SWC cost and not 2 and hopefully slightly increased PH or a statline similar to Tai Sheng with a price at around 50. I doubt and hope it's not NCO.
If he has NCO, they don't need to sculpt Tai Sheng anymore. An HI engineer may have its problems, but it has more uses than a FO. I'd love to see an automedkit variant that can autofix immobilization and isolation.
Well, to be fair Tai Sheng does bring Stun Nades and CoC as well alongside linked FO, so I'd say then can co-exist... justnotinthesamelistsincethatistoocostlyformostpeoplesjimmies.
