September>December 2024: Nuclear winter has struck, leaving room for the N5

More fresh stuff - The good



The Bad but good looking


The ugly

 

Yeah it tooked me a while ... I have only my tablet on my vacation:

Beyond looks very good especialy the JSA HI with AP HMG and the Blink.

JSA Basthunter is soo coool.

Cyber Antipode is ugly with the uneccessary Hammer. There would a ton of better poses. Funny the handler has the same basic pose.

Moonrakers are cute and nicly different from other REM stuff.

 

I hope beast hunter (I mean, Kyojin killer) wont be metal+resin blister

 

Is that Ariadna girl having a pitcher on her pistol?
Moonrakers are S2 so I expected some variation on Dakini, not this toy with guns. I will convert some Dakinis, I do not like those models at all. Stormbot I like.

 

Is a gizmokit, not pítcher


PS: another digger? With the regular release already available and after being purged from many armies?

 

This is a reason why I think some mercs are going to come back as ITS only like the CSU, MBH, and Bashi.

 

I wonder what being fit into a single box means for Posthumans. Are they getting fewer/different options? Maybe there will be fewer bodies, but with alternative sets of hands? I'm curious

 

This. TBH they look to me more like an attempt at making o12 auxbots that they then scaled up to be S2 in height. Very much not what I envisioned and they just... they just look way too big. grabbing some bipedal bots from aleph is definitely the way I'm inclined to go too.

But like you say, do like that stormbot. It means business.

 

It's probably resculpts for the mk1-mk3 proxies. The other box still holds up and doesn't need a replacement IMO.

 

It looks like December is full of adorable murderbots.

 

That sounds like a reasonable assumption, The 1-3 were conventional sculpts and the others were later and digital.

 

The older box still looks great, too.

On the other hand, for an unit with AVA 1, having two four-model boxes feels somewhat excessive to me. Even if the writeup allows you to field 3 different figures, and there are 10 loadouts among 5 Proxy variants, per N4 rules.

Maybe cutting some loadouts and collapsing it down to a 5-6 model box is what CB have in mind?
Dunno. Just an opinion, and one from a non-Aleph player at that.

 

That would be a great opportunity to release the missing MK2 Hacker. The artwork shows a pistol or smg with pitcher which could be a hint for new or changed loadouts.

But they are dated. The 2nd box was the most expensiv 4 minis box at its release (and you can use only half of it at the time). Now we have the Nomads Fireteam Beta (with Diablos and Lobos).

So yes a bit excessive, but we have other problems. Kamaus getting useless etc.

And from an Aleph players view I like the the choice of variations.

 

I think it's a Gizmokit, so a resculpted Mk1. Full agree on the Mk2 hacker, it's one of the most used options, and the only one missing from the original lineup

 

Maybe you are right. I thought It's too small for a Gizmo as they tend to be bulky.
But artwork often differ a lot.

 

Personally, I'd have the Gen.1 Mk.1 redone, just running with that rifle and/or bag, or possibly an undeterminable electronics device (make it out as you need it - techscanner, medical analyser, or elemnt of a Hacker's kit).

You can field only one Mk.1 anyway, and apart from specialist equipment, they don't differ at all. Bang, 3 loadouts out of the 10 available to the unit - covered.

Mk.2 is a bit trickier, being either a Sniper or a BSG-armed Hacker. Similar further down the line with mk.4 and Mk.5 (glossing over mk.3, because she's only one loadout. I'd be tempted to assimilate it into Nk.4 though). Difficult to cover it all without making a lot of "universal proxies"with pistols / CCWs, I'm afraid.

Just musing here.​

 

Another OP profile for PanO... yay. Will be so much fun to play against them
