That's how the system works. You wait, and you wait and you wait, and then, out of desperation, you convert something to the task. BAM! CB release the actuals. / it is what it is.
The day before they popped up on the forums, I was just about to order some securiate to convert into brawlers and then BAM! Brawlers too match my uprising one. Guess I have to find a new role for the repainted Hakims to take though.
I converted an HRL from a spare Rosie with a copy of the head that I was able to cast. I used lasiqs for the sniper and a second rifle.
Thank you both for expediting the delivery of the actual Brawlers! (It's been a thing since 2006. Get tired of waiting for CB to release whatever the model is, convert&paint one, show it in the forums, month later CB releases it.)
I think I may be psychic, because this month I was looking into converting brawlers, and I've always been muling around a conversion for Arslan. Now I just have to be patient I guess.
