Reactive fire is a bad idea for this guy (hitting on an 6... well nope...) and so the opponent has to allow you a clear shot. not a big deal in my book... agree on the pungari though!

It will be good, although depending on the cost it may not be worth it.<br /><br />The Pungaris are good at shooting Infantry and also are a bit of a tar pit in CQB against basic infantry. <br /><br />Their one real redeming feature is that they are just so cute!Dan Cateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833384756094198088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505622444708996182.post-73784988685544120772016-02-28T00:37:09.805+00:002016-02-28T00:37:09.805+00:00I am working on my Shaltari now as well. . .

Though I am an oddity because I started DZC in the beginning of December and already own 2 full armies (painting in progress) and my Shaltari are about finished. I think I need another Jaguar, Caimen and some of the new things. <br /> <br /> <br />I am looking to see what you do ZS.

Oh, whatever. S...Noooo! Keep yourself pure, Dan!<br /><br />Oh, whatever. Some day my painted Shaltari will get delivered to me, and I'll have to give it a go. But no walkers for me, strictly skimmers! I'm of the "Need To Prove a Point" cut, myself, so will try to make things work with just skimmers and (a-hem!) a couple of flying Dragons... :-P<br /><br />Fun to read, as always, sir!jdwelch62https://www.blogger.com/profile/09012158948009848728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505622444708996182.post-19509821989049739732016-02-25T08:23:13.195+00:002016-02-25T08:23:13.195+00:00I've never been an advocate of the demo game, ...I've never been an advocate of the demo game, and E9 isn't reliable enough for AT so I probably won't grab the Ronin.
