Interesting. It could be a rebox of the Antipodes as well. Polaris is interesting, though, because "unit and combat peripheral" is also a descriptor of the Uberfallkommando. I'd love if they resculpted that.
Polaris Team is two separate Regular troopers that must be taken together, like Mirage-5 or Jazz an Billie, rather than Peripheral and Controller like Uberfallkommando. I think Bostria said on a podcast we should see Polaris team as part of Code One, so the Beast Pack makes a lot of sense.
Ah, my b. I’d made the assumption that the bearpode was a big, hairy auxbot. Still. Look forward to seeing the model.
hopefully this time around billie wont be the terrible "diagonal" construction design that it was in defiance...
Not a single Skirmisher for Nomads in code one, but two S5 heavy infantry units? Also, does this mean a new Meteor Zond is confirmed down the road?
Yep, I was hit by a moment of joy when I saw the Meteor, but that was so trivial, because of the missing Lizard. Maybe next time when Bakunin rises up again.
Makes me wonder how a new CodeOne player is supposed to get his hands on a Grenzer by CB's logic? Get an otherwise useless box of Securitates? Or an OOP Action pack? Same goes for Kriza.
Booster pack, we're almost certainly going to see the Grenzer Sniper and Kriza Mk12 return in one of the Boosters, just like miniatures from Red Veil and Icestorm did for Yu Jing and PanO.
I cringe so hard every time Carlos calls the Volkolak a wulver. Although it really doesn't help that they basically decided to make them look the same, when the three other dogface models we have don't look like that. It's only bred a huge amount of confusion.
Man. I was really hoping for Zeroes to make the list. Repacks can be Taskmaster (probably HMG?), Kriza (Mk 12), Mary, Perseus, Grenzer (Sniper) and Brigada (Multirifle). That's two booster packs. Possibly a general release Wolfgang as the hero pack (sorta like Liang Kai).
Are they not really the same "race" of Wulvers but different troops? Really Wolvers should have a different name. It's like human troop being called Hummies. Sombra's are skirmish in all but name. When did Tomcats get a Multi-rifle?
I cringed when I read in the volkolak fluff that they are supposed to be dogwarriors with the suppressed reaction so that they don't transform when under stress. They should have made them wulver in the fluff. They definitely look like wulvers and not a tiny bit like dog warriors. And when even Carlos gets confused...
Volkolak are Dogfaces in a suppressed/partial transformation state, where Wulvers are the (sterile) offspring of a Dogface and human.
Ok yeah a different Wulver troop would make more sense. What kind of population are these guys to be able to have troops of them?! I mean of all of these people affected by it? Mandatory military service if found?
