Dressed in the same outfits the Imperium are wearing, right?
The Imperium are wearing nothing on top...
So the females will be topless?

(As in shirts)
Yeah. They'll be without top hats.
Must you web-stalk me?

I'm having stalker problems at school. I have been laughed at for thinking what's right. I have been touched by another boy (not inappropriately, just disturbingly), which is really uncomfortable.

So seriously, I don't need you to stalk me here.

Do I really need a signature?

kboleen is surprisingly tart
Where I work there is a rule that the ratio of managers to employees regarding gender must be equal, therefore since there are 70% female workers, we must have 70% of managers female. Using that model and since about 99% of Heroscape players are male, then the 99% of playing pieces should be male. So, having what female pieces we have should be sufficient.

Of course, my tongue is firmly planted in cheek.

"Be of good courage..."

I bought the set at first to get to cool-looking gladiators. The Nakitas looked like nurses. They are bland no doubt. However, even though I defend the gladiators value, I ended up using the Nakitas in more armies than I ever imagined given the fact that they are the best unique squad with range. They had to be unique because as a common squad they would be nastier and almost unstopable... IMO. You would keep them all together and roll for Smoke Powder 13 at least twice and if you get adjacent to eliminate Smoke Powder 13 they can still wound you. I keep saying it. The Nakitas are Nasty b.tc..s.

I don't care about choosing my army based on strategy. I choose an army based on coolness and personal appeal... even if it means that my units will die trying. Hail to the glory of HeroScape and bravery.

A good joke is always mired by the explanation. Yes, I was inferring toplessness, and Dr. Weirdy brilliantly added his High Beam Special Attack. Further discussion ensued about boobs, and we all had a good time, except Z&C who came to the party late.

I would bet that it is the lack of Samurai in a uniques squad pack that has doomed the Agents and Gladiators...that is the only unique squad pack without samurai, correct?

Or is it the fact that the some figures have *ahem* darker skin than figures in other unique squad packs.....

I mean , we can come up with more politically incorrect theories...


In all seriousness, I think it may limit the future inclusion of more than 1 unique pack per wave. Wonder what will be the "Nakitas" pack of Wave 7, once it actually gets to most stores....

I got the Nakitas from my sister who bought them because she wanted a female army (Sadly she quit playing before common female squads came out, and I would have given her one of my Raelins)

I have wings and wicked awesome Counterstrike.

Trust me on this, I am INSANE

Somewhere I heard of unpainted minis that fit that bill, Tablewalker... I really don't know where to find them though.
