Hey all. Was throwing this out on the LOS Facebook page and wanted to see if anyone else had similar thoughts:
Quick question. Will there be a release of human soldiers not wearing Powered Armour? I’m thinking about troops that maybe garrisoned somewhere or in a support role and won’t always be needing to suit up in a PBA? There’s lots of scenarios that might dictate the presence of non-PBA’ed troops and gamers would probably like the flexibility as well (ie: when army-building)
Perhaps consider PBA-equipped Commandos as Heavy Infantry while guys pulling guard duty or starship crews as Light Infantry or something similar. Make sense?
I think it’s good that the humans have the PBA-equipped commando as the “face” of the faction, but I think it would also make sense to throw in less-armoured variants as well for a number of in-game reasons.
That is a project I would like to get to as we develop the line. I am very interested in that too. We will be coming out with an army for the Auslanders, the humans left behind on Abandon during the last large confrontation there about 50 years ago. They will be less armoured up with a more nomadic-cyber-tech look. Here is an image that inspired me for the Auslanders from Igor Kotsuba who did the 7Gen Paladin PBA design.
I will be working hard at making this faction look different and awesome but will first be working on and releasing the Fantasians, Infranite and Black Empire.
