Looking st the FAQs for the G: Marionette rules. You cannot enhance the pupppets via hacking

I ate a bug. I spit it back up. On inspection, it was bigger than I thought.

Spektrs have a new profile allowed only in Tunguska: Killer Hacker with Cyber mines!

The SWC cost is what really seems spendy. You could go zero with the 12 point puppet master and three boarding shotgun FO puppets, it that seems far from optimal. I would want the minelayer master for his own protection and at least one AP Marksman Rifle, but one of each seems optimal. So you ending up with 3-3.5 SWC spent on one order. Having no sniper, CH:mimetism, sub machine gun, or combo option is hard. It also it a bit grating that two of the three options have some portion of the hacking upgrade in the weapon choices.

The minis should be great. I wonder how puppet they will go....

So the puppets have a hacking synergy and are a last drop model?

The front side of my gaming bag. Thanks to Andy Brandt for trading patches. There are more on backside, but only a handful are Infinity .

Hollow Men fluff...(from CB) Hollow Men: empty husks inhabited by the bastard offspring of extreme science financed by Tunguska’s dirty money. There is no moral justification for the Hollow Men; these abominations answer to an urgent and true need of Tunguska’s reality. How can you avoid corruption of the security forces in an environment dominated by mafias that have made corruption their way of living? Dragnet needed an assault group that could be trusted completely, an intervention force that could not be infected by the insidious tendrils of any of the Tunguskan mafias, a unit whose members were constantly monitored in such a way that their loyalty could not possibly waver. But how can one have total control of a person’s life? The answer was provided by one of Praxis’ Black Labs: total VR immersion. A complete virtual environment that could be easily monitored by Dragnet’s hunter pseudo-AIs needed to be created. What the Black Labs developed was a simulated environment known as Limbo, idyllic and perfect, but also malleable, allowing experiences impossible in the real world. In Limbo, the members of this unit live fulfilling lives in their solipsistic worlds, connecting with the real and dirty reality only during their service time through tactical android bodies known as Hollow Men. And in this way they completely reject the real world and their own bodies. They undergo radical surgery; only their brain is left and is placed in a life support cylinder connected to the VR simulator. For them the only way of returning to the real world is through their tactical operation bodies, which for them are nothing but a VR combat game. But the moral horror of this unit is not the volunteers, but the “conscripted”. The Black Lab that started this project did something more than just develop the technology. They swept hospitals looking for pregnant women whose fetuses were severe malformed from exposure to cosmic radiation and bought such fetuses before they could be aborted, as established by the Nomad medical protocols for space. The brains of these unborn were incubated and connected to a special section of Limbo known as The Nursery, where they were subject to hyperstimulation techniques to expedite development, which caused them to “grow up” in a simulated environment. Once a certain maturity is reached, these young ones will have not only lacked possession of a real body, they lose the possibility of having a choice about it. Instead they simply leave The Nursery to access Limbo and join the unit. The conscripted are the most valued Hollow Men both for their loyalty to their unit and to their way of life, a characteristic probably acquired during their education and intensive training received in The Nursery. However, once in action there is no difference between volunteers and conscripted. Neither are afraid and neither back down, because for all of them it's just a combat game with the same rules as the rest: play to win.

My next purchase and when they come out ..... Hecklers, Mary Problems Perseus

I am not keen on the Puppets and AI bike. Tell me why I am wrong?

The heroes are not as great. The base troops are a bit better. The links are more flexible. Spam will be a problem, too, and Camo.

So I have playing with Tunguska lists, they are not cheap. Even with the drop of points for Securitate, it is hard to take the toys. Tunguska is an elite army. There is no spam. There is a lot of sparkly, but you can’t take them all, and there is a lot of sparkly, boom boom, fun.

So good!

So am I reading this correctly? Hollowmen are Structure 2 with G: Remote Presence? So essentially 2 wounds and 2 levels of unconsciousness and the don’t go into retreat

Holy hand grenades Batman! So much win. My head is going to explode! Is it Christmas 🎄? Cheap Securitate. A Rogue Myrmidon who counts as a Securitate. Raoul who can be a Grenzer or Securitate. Grenzers that can join Securitate. Robot bike madness! An extra fire team! I am glad I waited. This is going to be my next army .

Pete, will you be a hero?😉
