They do follow the template of Corregidor. There's concept art of the unit redesign somewhere.

Can't remember if I have it in a "non projected on the wall" image.

Damn, I needed Alguaculs for my army, and I need them soon, which means rebuying them

Would they be re-doing the Nomad's starter box too? One hopes yes... and the Securitate gets a make-over too.

Anyway, about earlier comments, both the Kum and the Hunzakut are to be in the Khanate sectorial. Superjumping bikes? Or Pogo sticks?

I'm pretty sure the word on the street is a Tunguska secretorial starter. That makes me excited.

At this point I think it's not unreasonable to believe that the "<X> Vanilla" starters are going to be gone.

Alguaciles are getting their own boxed set. Securitate are going to be part of Tunguska, and will likely be part of that starter set.

Any ideas on what else is in Tunguska?

So it maybe be a new spektr model, some Securitate, and maybe a new interventor?

Anyone else know what would fit?

One would hope that the Tunguska starter might feature some brand new units seeing as how there are currently only a few Tunguska troop choices.

Where were the Mobile Brigada from? Corregidor? They could stand to get some new figures.

Mobile Brigada are Corregidor yeah but you're right, they really really need new models

Yes. Yes they could. The present ones are.....rough.

Might as well buy the old ones too, as there will be times when you want a whole lot of them. Like when you're playing 400 points and need an order farm.

Depending on whether you are using standard Nomads, you could just use Moderators? The miniatures are more recent and hold up pretty well (especially the sniper!)

The moderator with sniper is really cool, but apart from that I only like a couple of them. Ill probably get the old ones now, the new ones when they come out, and the moderators that i like, im sure that'll be plenty haha.

Geckos are a 47'95€ box. Cheaper than I thought, that's nice!

The Bolts blister of three is 15'75€, for those interested in them.

Apparently Wayland hasn't got the memo, though; they're claiming a GBP 50something RRP on the gecko box. classy.

So far what we know about in regards to Tunguska's Sectorial:
1) Securitate are the "basic" troops for the Sectorial. They're going to be the Alguacile/Moderator equivalent.
2) There's a new unit called "Grenzers" which will have MSV1.
3) Kriza Boracs are another new unit for Tunguska, but will be shared with the Black Hand Sectorial.

There are probably more units, including a TAG, coming but "no new remotes" are inbound for the Sectorials.

Where were the Mobile Brigada from? Corregidor? They could stand to get some new figures.

As mentioned by others, the Mobile Brigada are from Corregidor. They definitely could stand to get some new figures--and since Corregidor was getting entirely redesigned from the ground up(the only exception, AFAIK, are the Moran Maasai) in terms of aesthetics, it's safe to think that the MB are going to get resculpts. Especially since they're AVA6 in Corregidor and Linkable--meaning a really good candidate for a boxed unit set, which is something that Corregidor is lacking right now.
As of right now, two out of three of the Corregidor boxes are TAGs.

Ouch! Yeah, they're £35.70 over at Arcane Miniatures..

The new profiles are up right now.

Bolts are missing the signature "Mine Launcher"...I think it got cut.

HOWEVER they are AVA: TOTAL in Neoterra! Woot!

Profiles include Combi Rifles/Light Shotguns, MULTI Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher, Boarding Shotguns and E/M grenades, and a Spitfire option.
Expect a Bolts box at some point including MSR, a Missile Launcher, a Hacker, and another Boarding Shotgun profile. The Boarding Shotgun profile is apparently the cheapest option at 19 points(the rifle profile is 22, continuing the lovely trend of the light shotgun tax). The Hacker also totes a Boarding Shotgun and E/M grenades.
The other Specialist option is a Paramedic.

The new Tarik has a rule not yet anywhere else called "Bioimmunity". He also has "Super Jump" , Martial Arts L2, Religious Troop, and Poison. His profiles are for a Spitfire and Grenades or AP Rifle+Light Flamethrower and Grenades. He comes in a "normal" flavor and a "lieutenant" flavor and is currently only available in the vanilla Haqqislam list.

I'm workblocked - can you post more/all details here?!?

Thanks!

Just for you, Alph.

NEOTERRA BOLTS

ISC: NEOTERRA BOLTS
Movement 4-2, CC 14, BS 13, PH 11, WIP 12, ARM 2, BTS -6, 1 W
Their only special rule is "Bioimmunity" which is not on the Wiki yet and is a preview from the next book.

Bear in mind that's really all this was. It's just the profile, no fluff no nothing. Just the stats and points costs.

The background went up on the site yesterday, in the miniatures gallery like normal.

Indeed it did, and I just got an answer about the Minelayer.

I'm content now.

We're going to have these models in hand next week-ish, though; not knowing what that bio-immunity rule does might be annoying (although I wouldn't know what current enemy skill/weapon it would counter so it's probably not relevant yet anyway).
In any case, even a working version of what it 'more or less' does might have been nice.

Still, it looks nice enough.
...continuing the trend of low WIP, good BTS hackers for PanO is somewhat annoying though, but probably only fair. We can't be the best at everything

...and?

Next book.

The rules for it aren't in ITS 2014 and they don't want it in ITS 2014.

Also when I asked about Bolts getting an Engineer in the next book, I was given "Maaaybe..." as an answer.

Black Hand Sectorial? I think I may have missed these guys somewhere. What are they?

Black Hand are the quintessential "Spy Agency" of the Nomads. They count in their membership the various special infiltration units of all three Nomad ships(Intruders, Prowlers, Zeros, Spektrs, etc) along with the Reverend Moiras and some other possible units that might have ties to the Black Hand.

Think of the CIA's paramilitary groups, but with a lot more attitude.

I imagine the Black Hand will give all sorts of new meaning to the infamous "Nomad Dirty Trick" meme!

Nice! Thanks Kan!

I keep hoping there will eventually be a way that I can take Hexas with my Nomads army becuase i so very much love those models.

But if they do anything similar to them with Black Hand, I'll certainly be okay with that too!

Now I'm just waiting for War Store to put the Geckos up for pre-order.

They won't do that. They're trying to tone down the whole "X model is in multiple factions" thing from what I can tell, and the governments of PanO and the Nomad Nation do not get along all that well. The various megacorporations that are part of PanOceania have a history of doing some pretty nasty things to their hired workers, which the Nomads are usually supplying when it comes to things like asteroid mining.

In fact, Campaign: Paradiso has a good little story bit about the "Helican Revolt" where the necessity of Corregidor's military forces became obvious.

Plus the Hexas are the black operations section of PanOceania.

But if they do anything similar to them with Black Hand, I'll certainly be okay with that too!

We'll have to see how that goes. I think that it's going to be an interesting potential Sectorial but I do not know what they could really add as "new" for the faction.

Now I'm just waiting for War Store to put the Geckos up for pre-order.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be getting Geckos for awhile. I might get myself a few blisters of Bolts and sell off the female models from them(not too fond of the "lion's mane" of hair coming out of the helmet), but that's about all I can spare cashwise at the moment.



Also someone over on the official forums translated the "Bioimmunity" special rule by hand.

Kornak Gazarot wrote:Full translation:



BIOIMMUNITY

The owner of this special skill has a natural or an artificial ability to resist the damage from toxic or viral ammunitions.

EFFECT

The troop is immune to the special effects of Shock and Viral special ammunition, that hit him and considers such hits as normal munition, but not changing the type of roll that needs to be performed(ARM/BTS)

The special skill is automatic and does not require spending of an order or a roll.



Example of bioimmunity

A troop with bioimmunity suffers a hit with a Shock special ammunition, you roll 1 ARM roll, if you fail you receive 1 wound without applying the special effects of this ammunition.



If you suffer a hit with Viral special ammunition, then perform only 1 BTS roll, and if you fail, you receive 1 wound, not applying the special effects of this ammunition.
