    We know of a Character Lady Orc, everything else is speculation

    Hopefully we'll get some profiles and maybe some definite knowledge of aleph support

    Yeah, I'd expect info to continue to trickle. Gencon was really just a teaser... Contents of the starter (great) and dossiers for 3 new units (also great.) But I expect there will be more dossiers, CADs, etc before we get to the standard release rhythm of sniper shots and painted minis.

    We'll have to keep our eyes open for videos or anything similar that might accompany Interplanetario.

    I'm still waiting for something of a sectorial center piece. Something like an S5 Heavy Infantry. I think we'll get one or two more new units on a whole though.

    I doubt we'll get anything in the HI space much more than ORCs. It's fast moving Special Operations forces.

    true, but PanO isn't the ones to shy away from a high tech HI. hell, even JSA got something....

    this is true, hopefully we get some new profiles at the very least. Cutter is very niche imo right now, id like something more flexible.

    I don't think heavy ARM 5 HI is out of the question, though it's debatable if there's a space for another one in PanO lineup. I would really like to get an S 5 SHI because I love the concepts and PanO would look awesome. Another Stingray TAG might show up, would fit the role of a centerpiece nicely.

    "Stingray-series" actually suggests there is literally an aquatic TAG called Stingray.
    Did anyone ever think about that before?

    Not sure if CB thought about that, but if Gutier is worth his salt in terms of consistency, there is a pretty high chance that 3rd S6 TAG is actually on it's way....

    I know there's a fair amount off speculation/wishlisting/general clamor for a short-range Stingray series. It looks like Varuna certainly has the long rangebands on lockdown already... Even the basic Kamau HMG is basically a powerhouse long-range gunfighter. The Cobra Zulu seems to fill that niche a bit, and the Combi + lightshotgun is actually a weapon pairing we like on an AD unit like the Echo Bravo. But I sure wouldn't mind seeing a Burst 4 + heavy-shotgun wielding TAG make its way over to PanO...

    Because MOV4-4 on HI is slow.

    And obviously PanO won't get standard MOV 6-4 infrantry ^^

    I think it would be cool to see some sort of HI with climbing plus. Maybe to simulate some sort of Swat force that can repel and breach through windows and such?

    How's this for a possibility.
    The Aleph loaner is actually the other way round, the "Stingray" TAG (and I still want my Outrigger) is a PanO unit that is loaned to/used by Aleph with a cosmetic shift (and e.g. zero G rather than Aquatic), maybe PanO gets the WIP 12 version while Aleph has to pay for WIP 15.

    (we see a joint box, one TAG, two different heads 4-eyes vs. bunny ears)

    The difficulty is that the Stingray-3s are a generation behind the Squalo Series, the Maruts, and Aegis' Zetas. Add in that we'd have to determine what role that other TAG would play fluff and gamewise in the Snake Eaters. They already have a Chasseur unit, so what other category ought to be added?

    So we get 2 MBT, one with OT and the second with MSV2, almost same price, in the same sectorial?
    Liking the idea of the Strategos part.... wich it wont happen (wip 12, we are the feeling people!!)

    Witch brings us to the special Lt. things, with soo much SWC in the box, who is expecting the Character Sargent Lady Orc to have +1SWC in the Lt. and NCO in the normal profile?

    Do we actually have a reconnaissance TAG yet?

    That might be quite cool.

    And would open up interesting design space for loadout etc.

    You're just asking for CB to mess with us and give us a Forward Observer Crabbot.

    Tin bots are designed and made by Moto.tronica it would be nice to see them more. Getting some for our TAGs would be neat.
