One sickhammer! Not too fond though .

Ratnik. Well. It'll be S5 HI. The sickhammer is silly. The ratnik may come from the land of ice and snow, but that is no hammer of the gods.

He's no good for fighting hordes then?

Well, I mean Khador does love to fight the hordes.

I hope this thing is a TAG. Better not be a weak reskin of the blackjack.

I know it’s not a USAriadna or the Tartary thing, but they really ought to bring all the giant dog monsters up to current standards.

"Ratnik" is Russian for "Warrior".

With wings like a shield of steel?

It'll be hilarious if it ends up being a Dog Warrior HI. It'll appeal to a lot of modern internet niches all at once.

Looks like the Caskuda is coming back...as a Russkie.

If that is the case I will be super pissed. Both because the Caskuda was overpowered and because taking it away from CA and giving it to Ariadna would just be incredibly dickish.

I don't expect this will be very similar though.

I imagine its basicly just a blackjack with an extra wound on the profile... it can't be V:NWI, that wouldn't work with Lo-Tech.

But also I hope it's armed with a Katyusha... that weapon would be a heck of a lot of fun (and also very interesting) on a HI platform.

The new battle pack!

Link error, you bg tease you.

Likely it was taken down.

There's this though:

My girlfriend, who from Eastern Europe and is fluent in Russian, says it's Serbian for soldier or warrior (and Google backs her up on that).

I don't know the lore well enough, are there other ethnicities than Russians in the TAK?

Edit:

Is it just me or is a "Coldfront" a less distressing proposition than an "Icestorm" ?

I can't say I'm surprised, there's definitely some crossover language-wise when it comes to words like that in Eastern Europe. All I know is that I wikipedia'd "ratnik" and got Russian for "warrior".

Never specifically mentioned that I've seen. Of course that doesn't mean there can't be, but since the only one they explicitly called out(in the most ridiculous way possible) was USARF I can't imagine that there might not be some Georgians, Ukrainians, etc in the TAK ethnic breakdown just like I can't imagine there being non-Caucasians in Caledonia and Merovingia.

Operation: Coldfront... Operation: Insipid Name. Sheesh.

All those Eastern European languages, except Hungarian, and Estonian, are Slavic languages, branches from the same tree. Of course there will be cross-over. It is the same thing with Romance languages. English is the odd one out at this point because it has borrowed so much from other languages that it bears little resemblance to its sisters, the other Low Germanic languages (Dutch for example.)

No Vedic tease. Hmmm. So tomorrow the full reveal, or is that going to be in a BoW video on one of their weekender presentations? Thing I do not want to sit through.

Hey guys, where is the source for these images? Not on the usual social media from what I can tell.

The source is from social media. It just takes awhile for it to show up.

Last year I remember they had a trailer for the beyond boxes on the Friday, so we might get our first look tomorrow.

That was because the products, period, had been leaked the day before.

We already had an Ice-themed and a Fire-themed boxed set.

I was hoping this would be Operation: Earthquake or Operation: Airstrike. Or maybe Landslide and Gaslight. Dirtnap and Blowhard?

We know Carlos was shooting stuff over at BoW last week, so those are likely to be coming out over the weekend and into next week.



(source: kurage crisis round 1 update video, he was at the BoW studio and said he was taking time out of his shooting schedule).

Operation Fickle Collusion

Take it to the US politics thread, boys. There is one now that some masochist volunteered to moderate it.

Ice+Fire= steam. We should have had Operation Steamboat Willie. The LE mini would be a pupnik that looks eerily like a cartoon mouse.

Ratnik looks HUGE!

Looks about right for a S5 Heavy Infantry.

For those Interested Raicho has been updated.

Edit link, also available in army.

Yup, nice update with a new weapon!
