The Airborne Ranger looks great and this version displays an SMG so we have to look forward to some close up shooting. I haven't used an SMG on any of my units yet so I am excited to field this version. Since I was a paratrooper these guys hold a special place for me. I think I might have to field the maximum number and try a themed force. There is supposed to be some synergy with them and Van Zant which is great because I love the Van Zant model. I think he is priced right and not too powerful but he can be a beast when used effectively. This is the release I am looking forward to the most out of the November stuff.

The forums were really picking up a lot of support for these guys and they look amazing. They make me want to start a Japanese Sectorial Army. This is going to be a four pack and from my understanding they fill out the ranks quite nicely. With 23 CC and some close up weapons like chain rifles and boarding shotguns plus 2 wounds and 3 armor not to mention berserk and Martial Arts level 3 these guys are tough. Oh and they can link. Very nice addition.

I posted some pictures of them earlier last week and this model looks great. Being able to have an AD:Combat Jump troop plus have a hacking assault device fits nicely. There are some other options available but I think this might be the one used most often.

Mimetism, heavy weapons and linkable these guys bring some hurt to the table. Using them in a Morat Aggression Force is a huge plus. I think the team looks good and we have a Combined Army player that is getting them ASAP. I like the HMG and Missile Launcher versions with the Mimetism. I think they will be very survivable in some cover.
Avicenna
Another model that was featured earlier, she will be a nice new sculpt for the mercenary force. She looks like a close combat monster and I think the new sculpt really highlights this.
All in all pretty good release for November. I was really hoping for a boxed set of Marauders or Minutemen since Corvus Belli said they would get the USAriadna up to par. Hopefully soon they will get what they need.
