>SEARCH TECH COFFIN
You cannot see the Tech-Coffin, it is too dark.

Put your MSV2 on what?
>PUT MSV2 ON EYES
You put on your MSV2.
>LOOK
You see a poorly arranged maze of shipping crates and paper terrain. The Tech-Coffin is before you, oozing with worth as 3 Objective Points.
>USE TECH COFFIN
You attempt to use the Tech Coffin and fail, because you are WIP12 PanO Scum. Your Medical Diploma was downloaded from a 2-week course on Maya.

Automatically Appended Next Post: NA2 is certainly gotten full and a lot of them feel kind of unnecessary. Foreign Company I guess works if you built both halves of Icestorm and then picked up the Soldier's of Fortune box. Not sure if there's anything super unique to catch my interest but its kind of neat.

Ya NA2 is kinda weird feels like 40k soup lists kinds bring what you got stuff. I think itd be better if they just fleshed a few of em out more kinda like JSA
Automatically Appended Next Post: Symbiomates are still pretty bad and one of the Shas characters has fat2 ,seem to give that one out too much. The doggos got major buff it seems. I dunno like I said I'm just a filthy casual so maybe I don't get it

No, you're not wrong. Some of the new stuff seems pretty ridiculously powerful. I was mostly just prepping the conversation. That Shas character in particular is pretty insane. I have no idea what you're supposed to do against Fat2 in a 5 man with a 4 shot weapon.
I don't think a lot of the new stuff is overpowered. You still have people looking at vanilla Nomads and Combined as top tier lists depending on the missions and doing very well with them. The big limiter on many of the NA2 lists seems to be with their very limited link team options. If a single member of the A-Team goes down in Foreign Company you can no longer form that link. We will see how they do on the table, though. I know I am looking forward to giving them in particular a shot.
As for the character in a link - there are always ways to mitigate or trade to take that out. A chain rifle usually makes links make bad decisions and are some of the cheapest weapon options in the game.
It's not unstoppable, but there's really nothing like it. 2 natural wounds even makes Chain Rifles a little tough, though it helps mitigate the BS 21 potential.

Anything specific?
Anything beside those broken link team options?
Crazy good new profiles?
All those merc companys are getting kinda stupid...but hey, they get to sell more models to people this way that otherwise they would never buy.

It's the extremely high crit chance when you add in Fatality 2
Does it actually raise the chance of a crit? The wording for Fatality L2 is "any result of a 1" is also a crit, but modified stats over 20 still count as 20 and you add to the remainder to the result of the die itself. Needs clarification, because it reads to me as though you could never roll a result of "1" if your stat is modified to be 21 or more.
So Sheskin either has a modified BS of 21+ and crits on a roll of 19 or 20 because she can never roll below a 2, or her modified stat is 18 or lower and she crits on an 18 or 1

High bs with a shotgun is vastly different than slightly lower, but still insane, bs at longer ranges and burst 4.

Meh. Dungeon crawler is boring.
I wanted 15mm large scale battles.

Do you guys live on mars or what? CB does not have the capability to launch a new range (15mm) of miniatures. They perfected metal casting
and not gonna transition to plastic Is just not gonna happen any time soon. They keep saying this all time.

Most 15mm is in metal, and is better in metal anyway.
CB would have the capacity if they expanded. Something they will have to do eventually.
