Fellas.....  I like this new look. A lot. And any of you who have interacted with me on any level know I love to Female Dog and moan about character design. A lot.
Make no mistake, I'm still going to complain - I think he doesn't look quite distinct enough from the Gunnery Sergeant, even if the latter seems to be Pyg (?) - but they both look fantastic. His gun looks like a regular IK long gun, but I like to think he'll get ROF 2-3 or even just Reload and have some hefty shooting power. Losing the Bazooka bothers me a bit (mainly visually), but the idea of Gunny playing relatively aggressively forward like some of the Caines, Garry2, etc really appeals to me. Your thoughts? Is there anything you're looking forward to or would like to see? |

Would be: Express Team level of gun for him = good. Allowing Express Teams with him = great. Veteran Leader: Rocket Launcher Trollkin units = best!?! ps. 'Brigadier' means there's still room for him rank up!  |

I'm not big on letting humans into the theme, honestly, and the Trencher look isn't the same as the Dhunian army look, but the Express Team would look amazing together with gunny and the rocketeers. It is a bit ironic that Gunny's ditching the rocket launcher now that the troopers are picking them up. |

I'm unsure how to paint it.... I want to go black, but well, ya know. So Red, but that's very Khador. I like the model/look, just need to find a scheme

Would be very neat if the theme allowed Trencher Express teams by default, though i doubt that will happen.
Also fingers crossed for some buffs to farrow commandos and brigands so they are worth taking.

I'm actually kind of interesting in Farrow infantry now with the new theme, almost sad I didn't get them when they were cheap (ish). |

Maybe he does something for artillery pieces. The razorback crew will also be allowed in the mixed theme.
I'm also curious about the solo, gunnery seargent, who looks a lot like Gunny2.

The proportions make me think the little man's a pyg. Very possible he's a full Trollkin, though. My guess is that he'll be more focused on helping artillery, as opposed to Brug's more universal infantry buffs. Or maybe he'll hand out RAT buffs and tech (eyeless, rerolls, blessed, magic) |

Farrow need buffs to threat ranges, which he doesnt do. |

Brug already can buff an artillery unit. If the Gunnery Sgt can also, well then TBs may get a Commodore level of frackery! Ideally, Gunny2 will have at least that spell that gives +2 range to his BG (Sloan-esque). Fire for Effect too strong? Just based on sketch appearance I'm getting an Irusk vibe from him... |

I'm not totally opposed to the idea that Gunny2 would be a sloan style BG-only ranged caster. I'm fine with it not happening, it'd be a bit of the shame if the new caster wasn't able to polish the new toys that come with him. |
