A small thing that I see as making a big difference is that most of the models are M 6-2 rather than 4-4. Those extra two inches are going to make a major difference when it comes to order efficiency. There are also several Orders and Order combos that they can get more out of. Dodge in their active turn only means giving up 1/3 of their movement rather than 1/2 so, they can move further before they have to stop. A Cautious Move of 6" instead of 4" is huge as it makes them a lot more able to get around without getting shot at. That they also seem to be quite liberal with Stealth means that you can more quickly get models into positions that are quite vulnerable. A Silverstart Rover can on three Move-Shoot Orders advance 24" on four Orders while a model with only 4-4 is limited to 16". To move the same distance it would take six Orders. For a Faction that relies on HI this is quite Order efficient even baring their Tactical Awareness and NCO.
It’s more than the helmet and the colour scheme. The Aquila on the chest and the shoulder armour definitely look like Space Marines. The Ultramarines colour scheme doesn’t help any. I’m not mad about it, I think they look okay. Awesome video, I like the profile breakdown. I hadn’t realized how badly they were lacking hacker options.
Oooh, your right. The Torchlight symbol is very aquilla-esque. Glad you liked the video. I think that is why they all have such high BTS. They suck at hacking and it acts as their only real defence against it. We will see as more of the profiles are released and see what options they have.
3:48 I genuinely LOVE that shot.
Literally was an excuse to animate that bit there! I enjoyed making it.
Honestly this is the sectorial that I have been waiting for, finally something to pull me out of Ariadna lol
@@aesonkeel6527 I am really liking them. They are fun to paint and I am now getting the Alpha expansion for the awesome waverider.

Nice. Didn’t even think to comment on that. I am going to be very interested to see how they play out on a table. Think they are going to be fun.
This is a great video to pair with the box and handed to new players. Explains certain things very well.
