I can believe that seeing as how surprised they were that Teutonic Knights weren't popular in Poland, given their historical presence here and all. Nazis were kinda important in Poish history too, doesn't mean they're popular

Well, at least CB avoided making the stereotyped native american dog warrior with tomahawks Carlos talked about. Because holy poo poo was that not the biggest minefield of a concept eeeeeeeeeeeeeever, especially in context of Dawn.

Thanks for the rundown. I think I will start with the Shaswastii list you made and complement it with some things I like the look of like the wormbot, Shaskiin, a Noctifier and a Gwailo HLR and see how that plays out.

[quote="Fanzay" post="447496595"] How are Ariadna and Nomads the "strongest"? By what metric? Large access to the strongest rules in the game, camouflage, infiltration and plenty of specialists with them at low points costs.

Van Zant is apparently CB-exclusive though. Man, I like how he looks, maybe I'll just order USAriadna through MSG and then do a small buy through CB's shop.

Van Zant is the GenCon exclusive model they're selling this year, he's not in the USAriadna box. There's going to be a wide-release of his resculpt later in the year, though, so I'd wait on that unless you really want VZ right this second.

I'm glad they're combining it with the non-campaign stuff from Paradiso as well, they really need to get all the re-release stuff out of the way as quickly as possible. Also in that video: 16 new sectorials, so 2 per faction?

We'll almost definitely see some kind of state army for yu jing, an indian faction for aleph, svarlaheima for pano. Probably a straight EI force for CA. Who knows for Tohaa, something with lots of chaksa maybe.

Haven't seen the video yet, but summarizing what we know going in (question marks being long-running speculation): PanO: Svalarheima, Varuna? Yu Jing: White Banner Army, Invincible Army Haqq: Caliphate, Khanate Ariadna: USA, Kazaks Nomads: Tunguska, Black Hand? Combined: EI, Sygmaa Aleph: Vedic, ??? Tohaa: Uplift Sectorial?, ??? (ninja sectorial?) Mercs: at least two have been mentioned as possible merc contracts/factions ala Warmahordes. Don't recall names though.

Corbeau posted:Haven't seen the video yet, but summarizing what we know going in (question marks being long-running speculation): I think the ones you mention for PanO, Yu Jing, Haqq and Ariadna are pretty widely accepted, being hinted at and just the logical choices. Nomads will deffo get Tunguska but the other is a bit up in the air - I would personally love to see some sort of semi-mercenary faction, like a nomad-based QK. Combined those guesses are logical. I really have a harder time seeing how they will push Aleph and Tohaa sectorials though. Maybe I just don't know much or enjoy Tohaa but I don't see too much distinction there, and their model count just isn't high enough. Mercs as a proper faction are the most likely for 'new' army.

Vedic for ALEPH of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if they also receive O-12 as a sectorial, which includes a lot of units from other armies.

Their troopers having to be shot at 4 times before they can legally return fire. Unique faction "shtick" is a new rule called Rules of Engagement. All models except Black Ops models have this rule. For every Black Ops model you use, you automatically grant a victory point to your opponent. Rules of Engagement will leave your troopers permanently marked as they will continually shine a light at their O-12 flag for increased visibility and presence in the theater. Their line trooper will be called a Peacekeeper. They each only carry one grenade and 3 orders worth of shooting ammo. You need to roll off before the start of the game for every model/fireteam to determine nationality. If your Lt. is a different faction from the majority of your force, you subtract one order AND lose your Lt. order. If your Lt. is the same nationality as the majority of your force, you lose your Lt. order. If everyone is the same nationality, proceed as normal. Their heaviest weapon is a light rocket launcher. They have no camo troops, and very little high-tech stuff.

It allows a 12 XP Spec Op, which I've turned into an infiltrating WIP 13 Hacker. I'm trying not to spend too much, and on top of that I'm not really sure how to split the groups.

I'd drop Fusil with Combi into group two and shunt a Bulleteer up straight away, they're quite order intensive models so you need to be spending orders on them. I'd be tempted to say same with the Indigo or one of the Auxilia too. 13 orders is a really, really awkward number to work with though. I'd be tempted to drop the Kamau and get some cheaper models in there. (Pathfinder and Mulebot/Fugazi?) to up the orders.
