At last! December releases are here!
The Rasail Boarding Team looks very cool, and it looks like it might add a Uberfall/Antipodes-type unit to the Tohaa Trident. The Chaksas are carrying some sort of firearms, though, so I'd expect a close-assault focus rather than a CC focus.
The Squalo is finally out, so PanOceania players can quit their griping about their missing tags! It looks simple, which I think is a good thing as the Squalo is one of the more "run-of-the-mill" PanO tags in the fluff. It's got a nice plain pose, so it'll also be easy to snag cover and squeeze it into tight areas.
As an Ariadna player, the Spetsnaz is near and dear to my heart. I love the gask-mask/HALO gear look, and the Boarding Shotgun is going to be an unholy terror on the enemy flank. He's also in a nice simple pose, so no need to worry about awkward positioning here either!
The Hac Tao HMG is streamlined like crazy, though I'm a bit worried that it was released too "soon" after the last Hac Tao release (an "updated" HMG as well). Some Yu Jing players might not be too happy about such a quick replacement, but others will be overjoyed at the basic pose, the awesome-looking armour, and the updated weapon.
Penthesilea was released at Gencon, but now her Bootleg model is available for all to enjoy. I can see her being used as a proxy (or extra) for the new Kum bikers, but some small part of me hopes that Corvus Belli will write up a "mercenary" profile for the amazon biker. I know, I know...not happening, but I can dream, right?
Last but not least, the Morats get their Sogarat HMG, and he looks like an utter beast. I'm not a big fan of the melee weapon, but the sheer size and detail of the heavy armour makes this Morat look tremendously intimidating. The N3 Sogarat rules have not yet hit the public, though, so maybe an update there might help inspire some desire for this admittedly-average model.
