I was wondering why no named hero character or characters in NCA and is Bipandra the named hero in NCA? It would be nice to have a Swiss guard or a Aquila who is a named hero character, like a Cassandra Kusanagi.
Ekhm I really don't think that upgrading Swiss Guard with anything would be a good idea... So how about a Swiss Guard captain who survived bombing of the Rome Council/Conclave ? Kaspar Roeist +1 PH + Veteran L2 + CC + DA CCW (Auxilia character could also be fun) <thinks about Bolts character> <looks at how Bipandra is and it derrives from quite amazing Fusiliers> <tries to forget any kind of memory of Bolt character>
I do like your ideals and you are right about the Swiss Guard, I would like to see a Bolt character with CoC.
A Bolt character with Chain of Command would be fine for Joan Vanilla lists, but doesn't do much good for NCA. I'd rather that Singh get a fix so he isn't trying to fulfill 4 roles at once, all of which contradict with each other. A Bolt character with Fireteam:Haris and Minelauncher would have my attention though.
I think it would be neat if Bipandra was able to join a bolt link team. I would also like to see an ORC character Jessica Aquarius +1 BS +3 BTS HMG CCW LT. Advanced Command MSV1 Mimetism
I'd take the CoC Bolt to go with a Lt Profile for the Aquila HMG. Orc Character chick is all but confirmed for Varuna. I am not sure if she will spill over to NCA though.
I've heard and I'm very excited! Probably (absolutely) will not be in NCA though, but still, I like to FanFic. Hopefully we will get cool link options for them in Varuna.
The answer to all questions that ask, "why doesn't Pano have something cool?": Repeat after me, Pano doesn't get nice things. Being as plain and repetitive as possible is how CB designs Pano. At least the minis look cool.
Oh yes, best PanO Tag. Quite funny to realize that when everyone loses their minds on Cutter or Jotum (who is grossly overhyped TAG, armor in Infinity is one of the most overvalued abilities).
A decent Engineer Character for PanO has been the dream for many a year. Right up there with a named ASA Regular Character with a missile launcher. Perchance to dream eh...
We're a modest bunch (not me), I heard some of us would even settle for AVA Machinists (also not me). Never heard anyone talking about a Shock Army Charakter with a ML though... might wanna elaborate where that comes from before my SWC induced PTSD kicks in.
Hehehe, and the price for a nice TAG is a lot of blandness in the faction. I could just as easily point out the Swiss Guard. The Tak and Swiss are the type of cool unit you get in Pano and nothing else. As always, Pano is great at shooting and little else. I would much prefer a 1 SWC Feurbach but CB gave them to Nomads. Mucho Jelly. >:(
immunity to small arms fires pretty lovely. Armour has break points in this game, and 9/10 is one of them, when even dedicated Anti armour weapons can struggle to crack you in cover you're laughing
It's sad that NCA will never get Emily, even though lore is already broken with Knauf (who is supposed to be off the grid, not selling services for the entire Sphere).
