The preview for the new assault tank is up on Wizkids site:
Huitzilopochtli
Green- Liao
Veteran- Kurita
Veteran- Rasalhague Dominion
Elite- Clan Jade Falcon

Niiiice.

Decent attack values on tanks at last. An 11 on the CJF one and the 10 on the super-Streaking Liao one look very nice...

The 13 point Liao non pilot's pretty nifty too. And the AA is here as a regular piece for "H" class. Which is good because I didn't get one as a prize...

Mmmmmm. RD one looks mighty good for us RD players. Heavy Armor to reactive. Artemis V to AP. Not bad. They all look good, but I am only collecting RD from this set. I wish I could have seen the pic from a frontward view to see the changes. Now I just have to figure out how I want to play it and how many I want. I think 4 is a good number.

Conversely, AA never really sees play in my area, so I'm kinda "meh" about it.

But all the Huitzilopochtlis are good, and a reward to the first person to come up with a clever, short nickname for that tank. The JF one is a great foil to the WH Kelswa, and already an important metagame piece.

Now if only they would reprint IT-H and Decoy-H real soon. That would be grand!

The JF version is the only one worth 95+ points.

James Nostra Is it just me? Or are the Hell's Horses just around the corner?


I am hoping that it is just not you!!!

There are some awesome things coming from this set. The HL pilot is deadly! Put that pilot in most of their lights and you've got a 21-22 defense WITHOUT evade. Thats just sick. The Havocs, Mjolnirs and especially the Anubis just got alot more dangerous.

The JF Huitz is a monster. Pretty much the new DF Schmitt, it'll cut down most targets in short order. The HL one is nasty too, while the other 2 have potential.

It's had a nickname since it's creation in TR 3060: Huey.

What do I get? :grin:

Congratulations Kanrei! For informing me of information that was already readily available had I not been too lazy to go and actually look, you receive one year's supply of the glamorous No-Prize! Watch the mail! :)

Huitzilopochtli = Hopti (prounounced hooptee)
Hummer 4
HP

I need sleep. I think I will be able to break Da Vinci's code if I keep looking at this and trying to find something new.

That I can deal with. I was worried it'd be another Flavio!

A Tank with 11 attack and 4 pulse? I say the CJF Huey just got the arguably best tank in the set, arguably being kind of moot since the other arguably best tank in the set is also from CJF, its Tokugawa. Whatever flip you have on the Thor's heat dial, CJF got some very nasty support pieces.

The Liao Huey is similar to the Liao Kelswa, but I like the Huey more because of the streaks. It compares favorably with the SSw Mars Assault tank in Firepower, which is one of my favorites tank of all time because of its streaks. The Liao Huey is a bit cheaper compared to the SSw Mars Assault.

We probably spoke too soon on the recent discussions about vehicles needing some loving lately.

The Liao Sang Wei pilot suddenly changes the landscape for Liao lights. Suddenly the threat of the 24 def with decoy Liao Anubis looms about.
