The new stuff to come for IS. The Feiquan looks really cool to me but still the rules are meh at best. I've seen the Firebat in use and it's pretty good for picking off cheerleaders. Anything with low ARM and not good against Mim -6. The Feiquan would be fairly good if it had something better than a Multi-rifle. Multi-Marksman at least. They are very goofy looking to be but not in a bad way. Definitely unique. You know what it is right away. For me, one of them will be a proxy for a Dokkaebi since it's almost impossible to get the Daebak box right now. Boring AF. Looks like a Celestial with an SMG. I'm a bit disappointed. The profile is cool but this guy doesn't live up tot he rules. What's with the HUGE SMG? it's usually like a single hand weapon. It looks the size of a combi. And knowing CB, this will probably be the only Vanguard we ever see.
I agree the vanguard feels very low effort generic for having some of the cooler profiles and being a brand new unit to IS. Needs to go back to drawing board.
The Jinewei certainly are unique. There’s not much mixing them up for something else. Nothing about the Vanguard says “hidden deployment” for me. He also needs an E/Marat. All the SMG profiles come with an E/Marat. I may look for a proxy figure that looks “sneaky”. I can use the Vanguard for Bao SMG, or Kanren if I ever use them again, or maybe a ABH SMG that hangs out with Adil. Edit: also he doesn't look like MI. This will be my Vanguard I think. Another edit because I just found this. What I want someday!
Had to look a few times until I decided to like the Feiquan. I would prefere the EM loadout, but MR is okay. I would cut the gun and replace it on the nose. Jinwei are cool and unique. Good work, good loadouts. If this is a box of three the Vanguard will be in it too. But why she has this oversized SMG? Kinda size error? And yes I also expected something more fancy.
There is so many interesting Chinese mythical creatures you could have used to interject more style in the vanguard. Even something as simple as the helmet have some fu dog inspired design would make it better.
They have been making boxes of three for a while now. So I think it will be two Jinwei and one Vanguard. I would have liked that too.
A quick AI tweak just to give the idea. Id imagine letting a real artist run with it, vanguard could be way more visually interesting.
Qianfeng should've just been reworked kanren really. This sculpt looks like a generic celestial guard... Loving the jinwei and the feiquan though!
