Looks like the second wave is going to inlude the following

Cobra / Rattler

Building expansion

SSU specialists

SSU Rifle Squad

I hope they will release more SSU stuff next week than what you said…

This is the stuff listed as being at the Warehouse. I agree with you though I was hoping for the KV-47's. Those seem like they may be a must have.

KV's and choppers or the there is no point to even start SSU at the moment.

If FFG doesn't release them right now they will loose a lot of in the marketing field (like GW which really pi**ed off players with those 'waves' of minis which could last up to 2 years since the release of the codex - example: Space Wolves and their Wolf Cavalry or Tyranids and the Tervigon model).

Dont feel bad GW pisses me off in general!!!!!!!!!!!!

Provided that this info is actually true --

No basic walker for the SSU yet?

Really, FFG?

Really?

Damn…

 I doubt the update is complete.  They've been implying that at least the hero box would be in the next wave.

I'm waiting to actually spend hard-earned caesh on SSU troops until I can get multiple KV-47 walkers.

That's the sole source of my incredulous response to this news…

 Why not buy the rest now, will give you something to paint while you are waiting and spread the cost, seems pointless in waiting for KV47's if you want to collect SSU, nothing stopping you in playing without them.

As WFB and 40K veteran I won't multiply mine mistakes and buy loads of models which I won't use in future as I did in the past.

So far I might be interested in chopper transport plus Fakyeli which I would combine with Yana but they cost point wise loads of points and as my experience tells me putting a lot points in one place means they are usually dead points.

Unless of course all the rest choppers will provide enough distraction for the opponent so he will have a problem with target priority :D

I've just calculated again the cost of Yana+Frontoviki+Transport chopper = 88 points…

No point of taking it I'm afraid.

If the Frontoviki had Fast instead of Assault then  maybe, maybe but otherwise they are to slow even in the chopper and they need to be 1 space away from at least 2 targets so they could really do something.

Maybe as the counter-attack unit - fly to the enemy, disembark and shoot, next round embark and so on, but in this case I think Yakov would be better - second acid thrower and his Legendary Tactician Skill would be more beneficial than Yanas Fighting Spirit and Grenade Launcher.

And why wouldn't you want the set?

Cause apart of the building it doesn't bring you anything useful?

The poster you have in Revised Core set.

Grandma is a crap walker although model is nice. Why crap? Because it's neither good distance nor close combat. It would be better either with two howitzers or two sulfur jets but as we know those types of walkers will be available in KV box so FFG  without any deeper idea how to create Grandma equipped it with both weapons.

And Koshka is poor like hell, especially when for 2 points more you can have Yana with the same skill and 300% better weapon.

 Grand'ma is a great walker if you can keep her alive.  2 weapons that ignore cover are fantastic along with decent special abilities.

Everything bar Grand'ma and Koshka isn't useful for Warfare, although they may get some mileage out of the building if they need more terrain
