I was sort of hoping for something more detailed. Less armor plating, more pistons and tubing, etc. Right now it just looks like a Nomad without a shield. I was hoping for something "more science" or "more steam" or maybe just "more anything". All this is is more "plain".

And the Guard has had years to develop new tech. I think it would be cool if the Warmachine version were the "Toro Mk3" and had some gnarly weapon like a magnetic fist that has 2-inch melee reach for throws and can mimic Slipstream, if not quite as well. |

Also, it has the added benefit that the Merc players are now hoping/dreaming that the other jacks on the chassis will also be available to them. (Caine 3 getting a good light with a gun is just what he wanted for Christmas) I doubt Distraction through arc nodes will ever happen.  But yes, Caine needs a light gunjack bad. |

using an excisting jack for a "new" faction is pretty lazy :s Fluff-wise, the Vanguard has always been produced by the CG for Llael. They created it and build it. Makes complete sense they would have access to it and maybe be experimenting with other load-outs before giving them over to Llael. |

Especially when Distraction went back up to a Range 10 spell. |

Crucible guard facebook group is the most reliable source; PP has been dispensing them via various community podcasts (which is neat of them to do)

Ah, I see. Well since I don't have FB and do not intend to get it, guess I'll just keep my eyes open here. Thanks anyways.
