edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's one of those odd things, as I've learned more about armor and defense, the more Retribution's armor design makes sense. Heavy armor on the legs, lighter on the shoulders for anything but the heaviest of the infantry...the jacks have giant shoulder pads, but the heads are shoved forward ahead of them.

bowchikawowers Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 That does make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 And the one thing that was weirdest of all but made the most sense- armor heavier on one shoulder than the other. If you fight in a sideways stance, it would make sense to put heavier armor on the side you favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes you would not want your space elves from the land of steam powered robots to not make sense *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Heh, it's just funny that the most obviously Fantasy army of them all is the only one with heavy armor aside from Cygnar that makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Speaking of Cygnar, a guy is having a clear out and is selling some off..... question becomes do i want to buy more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Lol steam powered spaceships? Awesome. The idea is more that they have obviously more advanced tech than everyone else in the steampunk setting. What's he got for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Dont worry Bow maybe the next expansion will bring in fliers, it worked for Games Workshop.... you might get your steam powered spaceships yet He will sell separately Ed but those character jacks are not cheap.... but Rowdy is awesome *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Heh, yeah, they really, really don't. That's okay, I was able to get the Chimera primed just fine, so that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 So we will see a finished jack by the time we have a session later *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 ...I doubt that...but who knows. It's a light jack, so it's not all that big. Of course, I just realized I need a third color for cloth for the Retribution color scheme... crap. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
