Is there a preferred brand of wood glue for putting mdf together?

It's OK to use cyanoacrylate glue on small parts or to hold bigger pieces together while the wood glue dries.

Just as a note before I share these lists for round 2 of our escalation league where I'm playing ISS: I am not making these to be super competitive. These are all using my custom Zhanying Lt, who has Super Jump, Exp CC weapon, and Specialist Operative. These are also just general lists and if I happen to go up against certain factions I will be tailoring it more towards them, such as US Ariadna.

This one is just a dumb thought I had, where it would be hilarious to have 2 Su Jian in a 200 pt list. Sadly I cannot afford a Saphotect in the list without dropping a Kuang shi and losing an order.

This one is a bit more sane use of a Su Jian. It brings a Pheasant for chain of command because I have a tendency to get my Lt killed, and a sophotect.

This last one doesn't use the Su Jian at all and goes for a Fireteam Haris with my Lt and a Hsien. No pheasant, which makes me a bit less comfortable.

You are right, I hadn't even considered that, which is odd because I love WarCor's. We even get bonuses for having warcors in our lists.

It looks like something humans would build. The old one looks way more like something an unknowable alien AI would ride around in.

This. Also, packing the drone pilot three Onyx TAGs need in an expensive(?) off-sectorial box is grade-A bullshit.

I really like the new Avatars pose, its simple and menacing, but community cant be pleased because if it isn't dynamic, it's boring and if it isnt sensible it's not a practical sculpt.

Pilots should all be seperate retail blisters, all of them. I like that the Avatar comes with one, but the Staldron should be seperate as well.

I did part of the playtest and the heat system was pretty cool, but it was a long time ago so I can't really give much detail. To my memory it was quite a fluid system, which is quite a plus after games like Shadowrun.

Just who the hell do you think we are?

I've got the PDF and although I haven't played it yet a buddy of mine is fairly happy with it. It uses range bands I guess (like Edge of the Empire) instead of a movement grid or w/e so that might not be your cup of tea.

I think fast and narrative is a much better way to do most RPGs, so I am down with that. I don't have a problem with cool tactical combat in games that are designed to be just that (love the grand board game that was D&D 4th, unironically) but for the most part I want fast action and not a combat mini game every other scene.

The random character creation seems interesting, especially because you can spend points to pick closer to what you want, but if you go with it you have more of some resource.

Even if you do want the more tactical stuff I think there's a conversion system, but that could've just been my buddy spitballing it pretending to play amateur game designer.

The random character creation scheme was a blast, and I created a Tunguska spec-ops hacker that came out pretty cool. Hilariously, I suffered a messy death during character creation, which simply means that the body I'd start the game with wasn't the one I was born with. Let's hear it for Cubes, man.

The system is crunchier than those to which I've become accustomed of late (got into PbtA and haven't really looked back), but it's interesting enough that I'd like to give it a try.

Not certain, they're just getting around to shipping out Wave 1 of the Kickstarter for it. I'll be getting that and I'll thumb through it and write a review if folks are interested.
