I love this - great move forward for specialist representation, cool model, and a good way of progressing the hobby aspect of the game. I have a few of these colours already (even though I use other blues for PanO), but an extra pot is never a bad idea. I know some people have said/would have liked new colours, but AG has spent years designing the new feel of the physical game with specific colours, and sets like this brings that forward to new hobbyists without having to try and track down his MC books. Hopefully this also means new styles of models for starters and/or SWC boxes.
Seems like quite a versatile mini. To me it basically screams (mohawk, visor, barrel mounted sth) LGL Hacker Regular.
I do wonder if there would be more of an opportunity for PanO & Nomad players to swap colors because it's more likely that people own their faction colors already.
Although I don't paint my Nomads in PanO colours, I did opt for dark blue as primary to make a "Player 2" scheme. I have yet to see any Nomads in store colours though. PanO happens from time to time (usually a bit more vibrant than store pictures), but no straight up red Nomads. It's always either orange or black and pink or even simply grey. Or dark blue, like mine.
