    I'd like Unique alien Mercenaries that used to work for the Tohaa, but not Tohaa, and now will work for humans and Combined. It's a great way to get more aliens in without needing to make whole armies of them. Some might even be Exrah that have somehow had their cubes removed and left the company to become a free agent.

    Yeah, mercenaries is a great way to reintroduce Exrah as a species - or even introduce other species that are in resistance to or rivalry with the combined army besides tohaa.

    Exactly! Mercenary aliens is a great way to experiment with them. if it doesn't do well, it's not going to hurt them too much. It's not like it's a full army of them. Especially if it's a single character.

    This comic, Alien Legion, was one of my favorites when I was a kid. It was like the French Foreign Legion in space.

    Speaking of alien mercenaries: I kinda like to see a Wulver merc. Would also be a good way to get a pseudo HI merc for the merc companies. A real traitor for Druze would be fun.

    I wish they had more Yu-jing and ariadna troops tho.. Especially Ariadna - I feel like they should be ariadnas mercs all over the place. They should WANT to leave the shithole they have spend entire lives on and explore new places.

    I agree about them being Mercs. Never been to Dawn so I can't say about it's shithole-ness lol. I'd love for my Ikari to have some Wolf-Boyz though! I was really surprised that Star Co. didn’t get McMurogh! That just seems wrong to me.

    I whole heartedly agree about Yu Jing troops though. I’m not a fan of the JSA troops sculpts. Even when I did Vanilla YJ I hardly had any JSA before they were taken away.

    So far I’ve found the alien mercs that they have had, have been missed opportunities for new and different stuff. Krakot-Morat, New girl-Shasvastii, Cube Jager-Tohaa, Le Muet-Tohaa. Allof them could have bene something completely different and would make people flip for them!

    More "Corporate" NA2 factions, maybe using PanO models? I currently play NCA as a corporate security team for "Rheinmetall Galactic" which is all fine and good, but I would sure love some variety of options

    As far as units go, it would be cool to have a merc unit based around "live target acquisition" with plenty of glue, EM and other non-lethal ammo. Could be linkable with a baggage bot for full on bag and tag shenanigans (And reloading Akrylat Kanones)

    Merc remotes would be cool too, maybe with an operator ala Traktor Mul.

    There are five major mercenary Companies, StarCo, Ikari, Dashat, White and Foreign. Would like to see more lists for them, and more Submondo options too!

    I think that we will see a Dashat and Foreign sectorials for NA-2 somewhere down the road. It is just a matter of time until they are released; perhaps in the next decade.

    I got ikari on the brain so ikari stuff:
    • A Cheng I sao recreation intended by aleph to make productive use of the pirates of human edge.
    • Some chao pho mafia types would be pretty cool, referenced in the mine dispenser fluff too.
    • Mr Daixing? Could turn up as a nice hvt mini perhaps with an in game profile like voronin.
    • Assuming the miniature blows my mind I could definitely go for an exrah merc, or just more freaky alien bounty hunters in general. Got to watch that alien creep though there's a lot of aliens in vanilla factions these days.

    What I'd love to see is a corporate-themed PMC. Magna Obra Tactical Asset, something like that.

    I'd love to see some of the more combat-oriented characters from Aristeia! make an appearance as mercs.

    Hannibal, Wild Bill, Hexx3r, Mendoza and Laxmee for instance

    That could be cool but I think they wouldn't do it. Aristea needs to work on it's own without too much crossover. Something you could do right now if you wanted, is proxy with those figs for Bounty Hunters, Wardrivers, Brawlers, etc. I know I want Hanibal for a Bounty Hunter!

    Oh I already do/plan to do quite a bit of "counts as" I just think it would just be a nice way to bolster NA2 armies with new stuff without having to come up with new named units/lore

    I guess I just really really want Hannibal to lead Smoke's Marauders :grin:

    Seeing so many ideas and fluff for mercs, why there isn't still necromunda style game with different companies?
