Let us distract ourselves from the stress of the Defiance ks and encroaching holidays with soothing new releases. Hulang Shocktroopers (Combi Rifle + Light FT) Kiel-Saan Covert Assault Unit (Mk12) Pavel Aleksei McMannus (Ojotnik) Beyond Wildfire Expansion Pack Omega (HMG) Cuervo Goldstein (Boarding Shotgun) Betatrooper (MULTI Rifle) Malignos (Boarding Shotgun) Sheskiin (Red Fury) Caliban (MSV1, Spitfire) Combined Army Model Color Set: Nox Forward Observer O-12 Model Color Set: Kappa Paramedic O-12 D20 Dice Set
The Hulang is the only one I (realy) need from this release. He will finsh my YJ/IA this year. But I still want the SMG Variants of him (hopefully a her) and the Zencha as well as another Liu. From the Beyond Boxes I not like Mr. Goldstein with his silly pose and Defiance will offer a better Sheskiin, not that this one is bad. To be honest, I liked the old alien-variant more.
I really like that Kiel-san! Still not sold on the Hulang's riveted skull helmet, looks too much like a 40k or Rifts refugee. But a Dremel and a spare head from Hasslefree will fix that problem!
I guess, to each his own. Personally I prefer Kiel-Saan from the Spiral box. I find the new one to be overloaded with all those extra weapons. Whenever I look on Goldstein miniature I keep hearing Abba's "Dancing Queen" at the back of my head. Majority of recent jumpers have really awkward poses. I hope this trend will change next year.
So, rougly 110 € of news plus 55€ of paint set plus 250 € of Defiance = big hole in my wallet (once again) It's gonna be a painful November for my bank acount
Meanwhile, next year: EDIT: don't mind the typo (that's what you get for making memes in a hurry ^^')
Do we know when the paint packs release? How far behind have they been? I only ask because I'm ok that WGC Secret Santa and the model I need is tied up in an order with the paint pack.
