Oh man that bandit is amazing.

Hauling these over to the next page. These are the three "unseen" releases.



Hector


Devil Dog variant

What I Hector armed with?

Breaker pistol is my guess.

And a chibi shield bearer.

Hector: Heavy Pistol, Tinbot A.
Devil Dog: Heavy Shotgun
Bandit: Boarding Shotgun, E/Mauler

Also, interestingly enough, the Bandit is definitely rocking some Wildcat gear. The fully armored arm is Wildcat styled.

Okay.. how in the heck did Angel make that digital camo on the Bandit look so damned good?

It's not digital camo.
If you look at it in this close-up, you can see that it is a variation on a leaf/moss pattern.

True, but since I don't think it's really possible to reproduce digital camo at this scale, the next best thing is to approximate it so that at a distance. it looks like it.. and I think Angel has pulled that off here. If the darkest grey / brown in the camo scheme was a tan, I think it would be indistinguishable from ACP. Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years - trying to make something look like digital camo by painstaking trying to paint tiny digital camo. If only I'd painted a leaf/moss pattern, it might have looked how I wanted

Ninja'd but allow me to do the thing completely.

February releases

Devil Dogs




Su Jian




Bandits




Armand le Muet




Hector

It's definitely doable to replicate digital camo in 28/32mm.

It's just crazy painstaking and many scale model companies have actually taken to producing waterslide transfers of digital camouflage instead.

The little tinbot wins this month.

The Bandit might win for me, excellent model. I like Hector too, his tinbot is adorable. And I love the Su Jian.

Hoplite armor (knew that was coming) and what is that with him a Tinbot or Pi-well sytle custom.

It's a tinbot.

Can't wait to see Hector's stats and what his Tinbot does, he's got a shield as well! I hope thats a EXP weapon he has!

The Tinbot gives -3 to hacking against Hector.

That Bandit turned out awesome. I'm glad they went will a fully suited look for him. One of the things that initially drew me to Corregidor is their overall aesthetic. I love that they all look like they're wearing armored vacuum suits and that most of their units wear fully enclosed suits. I'm happy to see that they went with that look for the Bandit. The exposed flesh really kept me from liking the Jaguars.

It says he has Tinbot A in the photo.

Anyone else notice that the Tinbot's design is a parody of the Hoplite armor? That's a neat little touch.

Well damn I can't believed Imissed that. That suck so many thing they could do with a Tinbot and they still just using it to up BTS. At least unlike the other Tinbot user fitting him in a link so it is usefully will not cost a arm and leg. Except their aren't many HI to protect with it in A.S.S.

Ah, thats disappointing, don't come across much hacking.

It comes up a lot in its - love the little dude, he looks ace !

A Tinbot A is 1pt more expensive than its base model for Janissaries. Hector probably won't have the option to be taken without it.

I wonder if these "Homerids" in Hoplite Armor will be the new Aleph base ASS HI unit with Hector as the Enomatarchos leader. He has a pistol, shield, and sword. Perhaps even a CC-focused unit analogous to PanO knights?

I don't think anyone wants to be on a CC level of PanO knights.

I think Bostria has said in the past that there aren't plans for a Hoplite HI unit.

As a technicality, the "Hoplite" is the armor. Maybe he was playing word games.

Plus, Hector needs to be the champion of something. Otherwise, he's just an Achilles v2.0 lite.

Well, you can't really say that without seeing the rules. He might have a completely different function.

If he's Enomotarchos, that already gives him a different role: he's a squad leader, not a solo-machine like Achilles. Particularly if he's extra-beefy, making him the ideal link leader for active turn attack.

I never remember; is the blue ALEPH CCW exp or armor piercing?

That Hector...

Achilles is blue and his is exp.
